the mall below will have a pasar pagi as the 'anchor tenant' n i heard brands like rats n cockroaches will move in with the anchor

.. PJ/dsara has NO/little space for any new malls other than empire city n worse still heard maxvalu wana open up here while too many grocers struggling in dsara.. mrt around 1.5km need to drive so less USP for MRT.. i do understand tht u dislike apartments too near MRT's but most investors/expats generally prefer those that are within 500m to the station.. this apartment facade before building already ugly & reminds me of alam sanjung in batu 3..
In your opinion, do u think someone/yuppie would rent this for even 2k?

Well i don't n advised my friend against it..
StarBiz learns that there will be a seven-storey podium to accommodate two retail commercial floors, four car park floors and an amenities floor. There will also be two floors reserved for a dry and wet market and a police beat. It is unclear if the market will share the space with the retail commercial floors.
whatever it is, this location s17 i feel is still ok. i think rental of aat least 1200rm is quite doable for studio here, it could even be higher up till 1700-1800rm. it won't be expats, though.
correction on your perception, i dislike apartment too close to MRT for own stay and if the MRT is overhead, underground MRT is OK for me.
for rental the MRT isn't an issue as i won't be staying. most important then will be rentability and yield or CoCR.
i got the feeling s17 is a different kind of crowd, upper middle class, a lot of locals with a handful of expats. and they are long term old fashioned families there, furthermore there is not much more land for new development in this neighbourhood. my 2c only.
