Jaya Grocer is already at Mutiara Tropicana. I don't think it makes sense to come into Tropicana Avenue unless if they want to relocate that branch which is doing well.

What I was told is Village Grocer is considering Tropicana Avenue. Not confirmed yet. Again they are in Sunway Giza which is quite close but Village's expansion appetite is much more bigger these few years.

Any of these grocers are walking distance to Lumi, but that is not the discussion point. Lumi itself will have its own marketplace component that will be leased only. Their team was present during Lumi Gallery official launch. I was told that B.I.G. has approached them and talks are underway. For me, the Lumi Marketplace has a decent size and open cafe concept to meet B.I.G.'s needs, however, the cons would be the insufficient space for loading/unloading and the large setback from road (for outdoor dining).

I also heard that B.I.G. was originally approached for Tropicana Gardens and they are not able to commit too large space there. So that is as good as off for now. The next big thing is the rental rates as someone like B.I.G. will take space at low rates. The most accommodative building owner/developer may just win in a challenging market.

As an investor, stratified mall is a negative point. And more importantly is one has to see the detailed design of the mall. Whether it is designed for mall-like experience or just shop-to-shop concept. High floor shops will not work if so.

nyek nyek...putar depan putar belakang putar sini sana but endup juz want to help his bradder ah lord for this emporis. Some more involved his "Followers" to support his statement.

As I was told yrs ago star avenue mall not for any buyer but kept by dev. Dunno which is true in claim.

Just to clairfy: I'm not even a friend with him on FB and I do not follow him etc. I think u mistaken me and my colleague who knows him well.

I do not know him well. He is just a businessman and occasionally ask my colleague for some opinions. I regretted for attending his event once a long time ago and that's about all.

Frankly, I think we are like competitors on FB now... and I'm not sure why his sharing got more likes than my factual sharing. I guessed people prefer his sharing and on FB we got overlapping friends/followers - that was referring to what I said earlier.

I'm more focused in the things that I do best which is free sharing via lowyat here.

Boss, got sell strata but dev keeps big bulk of it, in fact my friend was weighing between this and dsara sentral, this is enclosed strata mall and DS the hybrid strata shops kind of thing.

If the likey in fb is to determine the popularity in one's page then I must say the fools are everywhere.

Beware.

Icic. Then really hope star avenue dun kantoi just liddat.

Boss, the No. of Likes is a very "sellable" item in the view of developer. #speakingthetruth

LIKES can be bought my friend...Go check with FB see how much, even YOUTUBE view also can buy...If not FB and youtube how to make money!! Hahaha

Yeah i know... what i meant was his usual post without "boosting"/paying.

Words that coming out from his mouth are bullshit la...how to believe him! Even Celebrity also buy follower from twitter!

Actually do we need to bother this Star Avenue performance. Let's look into this ICON at LDP. If the ICON also becomes a dead mall then most or less we know the mah sing leasing team capability. Needless to say whether it is strata or full manageable mall. Whereas about this Emporis, I have no faith at all. LOL

do u think any tenant will go in icon? so far hear some normal boring names like secrets recipes etc... this emporis u think even mcd will go in?? i doubt any major fashion or fnb player... if retail below fail resi above fail..

Anyway he say since tropicana garden 1300psf (aiyo its 1050 la JL), emporis at 650-700psf sure win. What u think of upcoming TG mall?

Boss if u notice all numbers he gave if exaggerated wan la. Minus 30% is ngam ngam liao.

above all how to compare tropicana garden loc with emporis? its like comparing uptown resi with pelangi utama..

Also diff standard of product, surroundings, developer (who is sc land vs tropicana) n walkability to commercial amenities mrt although its nt investor friendly also.

Im not concerned about his page having more likes than mine cos i focus on sharing the truth abt the retail n property industry in MY and bliv tht In the long run the truth will prevail

Finally, dnt count yr chickens before they hatch.

boss, mayb he is prospect 1.3k is price after vp..
btw...2km is sibeh hosei far...

1.3k rental for 2 bedroom doable lah    700psf subsale aso doable..
