1Shamelin mall also got cinema.. Viva also get cinema, but not really "Ong"

Viva Home not bad la......

This picture was taken two days ago (3-5pm) at the entrance of Cheras Sentral. Not all stores were opened. Some amount of visitors.
Not really bad for a restart. Hope it lasts.

Is this your favourite mall at cheras now?

Sat and Sun all restaurant in CS full.
Main lift also full.

Starting to get more crowd. Give it a time of year.

if you compare ss2 mall, you will feel really scary.
I just been there few weeks ago during Sat night.

Not yet.
Just be there to observe how well CS is doing.
F&B is on track.

Noticed also there is also a Wong Kok CharChangTeng at CS.
Wonder if the Wong Kok at Leisure Mall still there.

the one located opposite fitness firest leisure mall right?
yes, its still there.

Too many malls are constructing now.... let see which horse can laugh until the end..

Hope the 4 malls deploy a similar strategy to target different levels of Cheras customer markets, like those in Bkt Bintang.
Most malls at Bkt Bintang are competing and also complementing with each other.
(Of course, one or two malls may appear "higher class", while one or two targeting "la la mui")

malls in cheras surrounding area that i can think of now i.e. Viva, Cheras Sentral, Youcity, Leisure mall, Ekocheras, 1Shamelin, Velocity, Jusco maluri, .. .........

I think malls complement each others i.e. Velo+Jusco+Ikea,

maybe ekocheras + leisure mall?...

but not sure how they can complement to youcity, cheras sentral, viva, 1shamelin?..

You need to have synergy to be successful. Smaller malls or isolated ones are hard to compete with the bigger or more comprehensive ones.

That gives another +1 to ekocheras because it is near leisure mall.

If u go shamelim mall u will see that its a dead mall

Any of u buying eko titiwangsa also developed by ekovest. I got sms by ekovest today for registration

Dunno if this eko titiwangsa has strong selling points like ekocheras project?

Speaking of competition, I quote an example of how malls complete along the LDP.

Ikea+Curve+Ikano++, 1U, TCM, Paradigm Mall, Sunway Pyramid, IOI Mall, Setia Walk, One City, Main Place

Features:
- All are surrounded by residential area and Within walking distance(except IOI Mall)
- All have cinemas
- Most of them have F&B as foundamental sustaining business
- Most have grocery or hypermarket
- All of them are competing each other, except for the Ikea+Curve+Ikano area showing some complementing feature

If the malls along Jln Cheras are to compete like the malls along LDP, each mall needs to own at least above features
Just my raw observation. Me no knowledge in mall management.

Business not bad wor and always see people finish exercise at fitness first then go there yum cha

HK cafe sure do well in Chinese area. Ekocheras buyer easily more than 95% chinese

Even kl sentral has a new mall called Nu Sentral Mall.
Almost everwhr got mall..

Most valuable and relevant advice to a developer building a mall:

If it is not your area of expertise in mall management like Sunway taikor, pls get an expert. They need to be involved during the concept n building plan design stage...not when the mall is about to complete then only engage them to fill up the space. If u do not do it right from the beginning n create a bang with the right tenant mix filling up the mall upon opening, don't dream of miracle happening...u lose more trying to fix it later when the damage has been done

That's urbanisation man! Just imagine singapore, lots of mrt stations is linked to a malls.
