Surprising despite being located at Sentral, does not seem to have create a Big Bang or impact after opening for few months already. Went checking out once after opening, many still under renovation or vacant. An experienced mall operator has the strong influence n capability to get a high % of the retail units fully renovated n opened for business when the mall is launch...if shopper first impression is they have to smell the construction smell n the dust in the air in their 1st visit, rest assure their 2nd visit will be a long time later

On the other hand, maybe the reality is those with purchasing power are not those who travel by LRT

Features education n hospitality ---- wow, even will have college

Aiyo, cannot help to criticize again, 820 sf is enough to have 2 rooms lah. A room without window can only qualify as +1.

For 1 room, 600 to 700sf is consider big enough for investment product or couple staying. If selling price is around say RM700psf, it is already RM574k and is for 1+1 room, not 2 room...

They should do a 650 sf 1 room unit which is around RM450k mark and a 850 sf 2 rooms units below RM600k mark...

New car show room building next door already opening

The part of land for tower E from jalan Cheras to the back of the boundary seems like very short only and behind is slope

Paid RM6 parking but the projects exhibited not interesting at all

Crowd also so so on a Saturday afternoon

But many people listen to ho chin soon talk

Pretty sure developer will do piling plus retaining wall at the slope n it's is only a small slope

Design of Cheras Sentral becoz of refurbishment from the old Phoenix is not so efficient as there are many dead corners n one of the wing is quite secluded. Currently probably 50% with operators. Out of the few newly opened malls I visited, Main Place is the best, followed by NU Sentral n Cheras Sentral, both with potential but will need some time. One City is so so n Encorp Mall n Jaya Shopping Centre are a bit worrying...

Wonder how is the Silka hotel doing?

Compared to Leisure Mall, Cheras Sentral is probably less than 50% comparatively. Looks like it is not easy for a new Cheras mall to take over the matured Leisure Mall. Maybe Ekomall should see how it can complement Leisure Mall with a new concept

Between Ecomall n You City Mall, believed that whichever able to recruit good brands early n open for business early will have competitive advantage. You City is nearing its final phases n the the mall should be the last to be built. But this also means that they have very strong cash flow from earlier phases to fund the mall. But judging from PJD previous record in managing Endah Parade, reservation is natural

In EKC case, will they operate the mall first? Becoz it is not highrise, the mall can be completed earlier. Paradigm mall has opened for some time n the office n residence tower are still under construction now. Tropicana City Mall opened for a year before Tropics serviced apartment was vp.

Bro, they use different developer as the land in Cheras and Titiwangsa could be held by 2 different companies...Prompt Capital for EKC and Ekovest Capital for EKT

Yaya...should be Prompt Capital change name to Ekovest Capital (so it is the same company) and the kpkt website not updated yet

Unde the HDA, the developer has to state the details of the developer company which is holding the developer license and the advertising permit so Prompt Capital now changed name to Ekovest Capital is the developer for both EKC and EKT

Maybe Ekovest Capital sounds more representative n nicer than Prompt Capital any time

Both projects will maintain 2 different HDA account so as far as financial is concern should not affect each other. All collection must be bank into its own HDA account n money in the account can only be withdrawn to pay for cost of the project only according to HDA rules

This MRT station will be in the middle of Jalan Cheras...in the middle of the road...

Bro

It says that SOHO rental is higher than serviced apartment becoz of its commercial value. Agreed?

Does it also mean that for someone looking for a residence, he or she will pay more for a serviced apartment as compared to a SOHO?

Is SOHO a male or female or bisexual? Haha...

Doubt that the church slope will be higher than maybe 5th floor of block E. Also if view is facing the slope is like "repent by facing the wall".

no property is 100% perfect. If u own this, u are bless

If it has 90% merit n 10% flaw, enjoy the 90% n accept the 10% as trade off

Same philosophy with with your wife, once married, enjoy her merit n flaw

If really cannot tahan can sell in the future. If made money then being bless again. If made less maybe less blessing but still bless

Congrats on your purchase

Tesco taman midah seems to have quite many Malay patrons, unlike leisure mall which is mainly patronize by chinese

Any explanation?

Thanks, got it

Some pictures of the Jesus Convent at the back extracted from Google Earth

From this map, the area where Tower E is located is pretty narrow and quite close to the Convent
