Dear
Babizz,
ImUrDaddY and all others,
Pier8 will feature:-Medium to high end F&B outlets (Example: Publikain Mont Kiara)
OK if mid-high end restaurants. Will FAIL if too high end. Currently numerous premium chinese, steamboat, korean, cafe, north indian restaurants doing well but location here again.
-Seafood emporiums (Example: Unique Seafood, Red Loster, etc)[B]FAIL. If they bring in NON chinese/tai chow seafood places like led lobster or other western seafood establishments-Medium to high end supermarket (example: Jaya Grocer, Mercato, Cold Storage)
Will do WELL as spending power on grocery n food is HIGH around bbt area. AEON grocer around d same price as jaya grocer also is full while tesco n giant nearby (full too) slightly cheaper)-Cafes & Retail outlets
Will do WELL. More than 30+ cafes in botanic n bukit tinggi n some are doing VERYY WELL -Wellness Centers (Example: True Fitness)
Southeast Asias biggest Gym in bukit tinggi. Too many gymns around but gravit8 area may need 1 gym. My reply in
BOLD: If sunway giza style mall open in klang (already available in BBT Boulevard), it wont make it due to gravit location and current giza style concept doesnt really work in klang or most places for the matter. QUOTE(familyfirst @ Jun 29 2016, 08:48 PM)
In your opinion. is Klang "higher market" than Cheras? There are many well to do chinese in Cheras but Jaya Grocer cannot sustain and tapau after few years. Only surviving is still Leisure Mall and those are definitely not Publika kinda retail outlets. If so, not sure how Klang folks are going to sustain this mall and for how long. Hokkien people can be very kiam siap, haha. Sorry not being personal or racist. I believe in Klang, only value for money retail outlets can survive.
If high end grocer open around bukit tinggi 2 now i believe will do VERY WELL.

Not sure how much % of success for Gravit8 but the location just right beside Kesas is a major plus point here and I believe WCT, Mitraland and KSL will be really banking on making this side another happening place to cater to Telok Panglima/ Jenjarom / Banting folks.
That Cheras area have wet market just further down the road and around other Taman especially OUG have morning market as well.
For Klang, you can find the nearest wet market at Port Klang or Meru and for those taman morning market is around old taman like Chi Liung, Bertek, etc and biggest is at Pandamaran. Aeon Bukit Tinggi JJ wet market have plenty of customer after office time including myself.
And lastly, more and more other dialect chinese are in Klang already unlike 10 years ago. Btw, hokkien ppl not kiam siap at all, they can spend on high end things like any ppl.
Mitraland has done wonders in c180 n even d cascade retail they bring in some fancy places although not doing well yet. Klang, tpg, jenjarom folks will indeed hang out here if they hit the right spot.
AEON grocer doing very well also as u mentioned.

Don't play play, Klang a lot of 'crouching tigers hidden dragons'.
I would say Klang ppl more prudent in spending. Hence, high end retail not easy to survive there.
Spot on. Only ppl familar with this area will know how much of money is around this ambang/bbt2/parklands area. Numerous biznesman stay here.
