hmmm... CIMB 12m FD offers 4.15%.

I wonder if I should still go all the way with REITs.

Sometimes, full of people, ie high foot traffic (a key measurement in the world of Retail & Mall REITs) does not really translate into higher sales for the tenants.

molest and try then buy online especially for clothes. Zalora is so much cheaper for brands like Mango etc with all the discount codes compared to buying instore

actually, even pasar malam clothing stalls are crying now, let's not forget the fate of Kenanga fashion outlet

back to the mall thing, the key strategic is the location, accessibility via rail network, and branding as a whole

one good example is the Pavilion, it had way lesser visitors (read: ordinary ppl) before MRT fully commenced on its operation, parking and driving there was costly and also a nightmare.

In a way, MRT also shifted the paradigm of mall visitors who stayed in the outskirt back to the downtown KL, eg before this Kajang residents tend to go to IOI City Mall by driving, now they are presented with more choices, 30 mins to Paviion, about 45 mins to the Curve via MRT, hence this will affect the existing market for IOI City Mall, in a way

I'm eyeing on IGBReit too. Went to MV last Sat, been waited so long to find a parking and the people flow is awesome. I remember I read an article about fengshui few years back when The Garden just opened, fengshui master said that piece of land has very good elements surrounding by the Klang river. I think water brings good feng shui.

Any new upcoming Reits IPOs?

ARA reit coming.. 2 bil asset mostly in shopping malls.

In planning stage... target listing 1Q18

Same maanger as Amfirst reit..

Actually I also curious last time why gross yield less than 5 percent still so many chasing..

Many of the parking bays in MV are reserved for people working at that area on weekdays. If you go there after 6pm parking is easy.

Parking is difficult to find on weekends though.

this one i wait at 1.55 

IGBReit will be the best performing REIT for 2018/2019.
