Weekend Side track: Just FYI only.
Do you have to charge GST on your rental income?
(I understand we discussed this topic before, in earlier versions)

paradigm mall is successful although initially many people thought it will fail. hv u been to leisure mall after their reno. It it also quite lively.

Actually the attraction to buy Ekocheras is not due to the mall but because of the covered link to the upcoming mrt. the mall and office are of secondary importance..

Traditional that places have very strong retails with restorans, homedec shops, eletric shop and car dealers. Very confident the retail facing main road will be very successful! The evolution of kvmrt line and new U turn ramp to MRR2  will boost the success rate of retail to new high!

MRT + Good Pricing among other mrt poperty are the jewels of crown in this project! When the time we booked (Block J,H,E), I believed most of us weren't told about plan for mall, hotel, cineplex etc.

EKCians should be happy and grateful when entire development plan evolving to a better and promising tomorrow . The successful of Mall, Hotel, Office, Cineplex will be pieces of catalyst and really its come as bonus gift .

Let"s the developer do their job. They hv invested substantially on the retal mall and I'm sure they want the best of their first mixed development in Klang Valley before their 2nd and 3rd projects.

What is the theory behind?

There are many residential project along mainroad eg. Jalan Tun Razak,J.Ampang, Federal Highway and massive OKR all selling like hotcakes. .
Along LDP and Persiaran Surian there are lots condominium and service apartments at road site also

Leisure Mall was jam packed yesterday afternoon during the heavy rain, they closed all the carpark entrance and ask cars to park at Cheras Plaza

Ended up at Cheras Sentral....which to begin with, the air cond was so stuffy...

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..

Location so so..!? Are u cheras Lang?

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

But this comment doesnt hold weight   

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

But Cheras maluri (velocity) area rental is super strong compare to ekocheras area. Due to velo area Sibeh near city center. Take Amaya apartment at maluri as example... Rental Sibeh not bad Ler. Also commi n night life at maluri Sibeh vibrant.

Bj mall, bj/oug/sp paradigm.. Can't take into account.
simply Too far liao. N cheras mrt line cannot direct reach bj also. Also Most bj road already congested by serdang n puchong Kia mostly due to skipping toll.+ lrt drop off n pick up point.

Cheras sentral nothing much.... Leisure mall is high density commi area with Eko join in maybe ok to serve the Julai Lang within this area.

Juilai Lang population no play play.

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?

Yes Sibeh sure too far... too far with with jam add up. Talk so much of bj mall and paradigm. But Juilai Lang still no mrt can direct reach door step to bj mall. Mv Sibeh jialat also got ktm reach door step. Mv ktm station Sibeh High traffic n Sibeh ong. Bj mall simply too far without any mrt, ktm and lrt doorstep connection for Juilai Lang. bj mall Case close liao.. 

Yes will choose velo due to mrt direct reach there n ikea also next to it. Also May choose mature ong Eko leisure mall commi area due to mrt reach door step. Bj mall how to reach with mrt door step for Julai lang? After mafan interchange with lrt. Came out lrt still need to Makan harbuk wait for shuttle bus... Rather go Mrt interchange with ktm straight to Mv liao.

Different people, different preference la.
Glad to know you stay at Midah, and express passion and invested in BJ(Aurora Place? Rainz?)
