Cnt compare time when paradigma open n now.. times hv changed.. look around paradigm..hardly any malls nearby..look in cheras.. at least 10 new malls..all neighborhood to large size.. all opening within a span of 3 yrs.. many retailers nt interested in going to new unproven malls d.. see quiKK city.. the tenant thr suffering everyday..

Even pavi group struggling with tenants fr their usj damem mall...

Boss initially i doubt pavi dsara if its a HUGE mall but it looks more smaller maybe paradigma size.. can do well fr d luxury market given the VERY high purchasing power nearby.. BJ City mall is big n will do well if its jus BJ city mall n nt pavi.. BJ no market fr luxury la.. a lot of low end n mid end houses thr.. everyone wan lv near their house but wont buy..waiting fr others to buy..

Boss, directors buying projects doesnt guarantee tht it will be completed. Btw, perda mall is in prai.. now foursquare say reli jialat.

As nda mention, i too bliv tht if retail sold strata as pervious plans, wont do badly..will do well given great frontage n if d prices are good la

Yeap.. usually will buy quietly n maybe release into d market later on.. Still no news on d star rating of d hotel ah? this one mixed hotel.. cn hv 2 star to 5 star guests

My friends who hv been thr said only good fr cheap IT stuff..other than that like a dead mall.. i hope EKC will be much btr with a good amount of other retailers (cn be achieved with external help)..

Good to know saville managing the mall... Although saville has little retail exp in msia (correct me if im wrong), i bliv they will do well given their retail experience in the UK n globally..

I thought velo studio RM1200psf?? btw, i agree with mybenz..

Any lates pics?

Other than the affordable food n some cheap stuff, i wldnt wana live near IKEA I doubt 1400psf la. the condos look high dense n mid high end only jus like Velocity (mid high end).

Reli diff location bro.. EKC is closer to more resi neighborhoods like bukit segar etc.. Purely in terms of serving cheras, EKC is much btr located than velocity which caters to maluri+pandan+tun razak+north cheras areas..

Overall, Velocity area has a lot of things coming up nearby but the area remains what it is, a really low end/lousy area..

Yes i think the location is good but the mall management n developer cashflow/background..

EC ia behind schedule by more than 7 months... still digging its way thru after 1.5yrs..

obviously not n probably nvr been to the site or looked at wikimapia...ekocheras location fr commercial is very good..




Attached thumbnail(s)

Drive around both areas n u will be answered although now Maluri houses expensive but sunway velo mall will do btr than ekc due to mall management..

But this comment doesnt hold weight

Location so so, catchment area small..
Offices might do well
Residences and mall. nah dnt think so la

Yes good for malls.. See MV, SP, 1u all surround by main road (s) n jam often.. the one secluded away include ss2, encor n Jaya mall..

Ultimately, i think this ekc might take a very long time to complete (if it does), so i dnt bliv in ekc article 1 yr ago mention piling work on ekocheras has begun.. How much have we seen since then?

Most buyer say No.. buyer say we are outsider.. But still digging after 1.5yrs... Jagalat kor havent post pics this week..

Lofiel kor, this is the most recent progress from November 2013 start construction..

True but from then until now EKC has appreciated.. Can anyone share why the 3 floors dig is only a small portion?? shldnt it be bigger

Yes it will..around 30% bigger than damansara.. some extra sections nvr in SEA b4...5th biggest in the world.. whole MRT stretch will have many malls.. I think velocity really need to up the ante as i dnt see why someone would walk over from ikea to velo.. Hope EKCs malls can have good FnB tenants for the jiulai crowds..

I bliv within 200m is v good even if no bridge...I saw connexion ioi city ad saying 700m from ioi city..sure those ppl nvr walk 700m b4.. for commie to be effective with mall or train need to be 100-150m n direct frontage..

Yes many claim this is a 60 storey apartment (but is actually 28 duplex) n say piling so long but until now even the piling is not complete... Progress is very slow n everytime i zoom in the picture looks like no difference..

if economy turn sour, i think this might happen... to all future buyer, mus know how slow/dangerous it is to buy ekov project.. no signs of speeding up n too few worker/crane thr..
