2 ~ 3 years ago, GG hung banners all over and claimed that KFC, Tealive, 7-eleven and Mr.DIY will be opened 'soon'. Well, the rest was history.
Not really sure if these shops pulled out or are just delaying their entry.
The only business that might open soon (after Freshii) would be Union Artisan Coffee and that too, seems to be very slow or delayed.
GG is simply overpriced and will be very difficult for them to sell off rest of their upcoming houses - knowing the fact that the whole development is leasehold and the whole area is still 'new'.
Well there is Covid for these 2 years... hence understandable shops are reluctant to open.
Its sold as a premium product (anor Dpc). Some may pooh pooh but all the traits are there. Same landscape architect. Same waterfront. Same architect for their commercial centre. All these costs money. Give this place a chance. There is really no replacement for dpc except this and peoplw who feels dpc is overpriced will consider this. As in all new places which are perceived far, they will eventually grow into their own.
And the Luge is not cheap to bring in. A theme park will bring life to this quiet and quaint area. The plan is for the tourists to enjoy themselves at the luge and then chill at Gardens Square. Theres a Star grocer occupying 20000 sft in Gardens Square operational next year. That could add much needed life.
Havjng said that nobody mentioned anything about the really beautiful and award winning 50 acre pet friendly park and the clubhouse... guess everyone is into commercials etc. Im more on nature so Im considered bias.
But it is expensive. But 600k up is a norm these days...
