the PRC bars will all b buried in cement and concrete soon..

Yawor besi so sibeh rusty Liao. Even cover with cement how Long it can last?

once in the cement no more air penetration so the rusting process stops.

I hope Savills gets to learn what went wrong with SStwo mall.
In addition, both EKV and Savills should come out with the recipes in making the EKC mall successful.

very sad to see cheras central many retail moving out

I am sad too.
Since Cheras Sentral lost its interchange status(not in new proposed MRT2 alignment), Mayland and its mall management unit really have to put in more effort in sustaining the mall.

Bro its not the problem of continuing rusting in the concrete, its the problem of is those bars enough capacity not within the design limit. Says the design require 4nos of 20 mm diameter bars in the beams/columns, but after the rusting process left only the rusty 4 nos of 18 mm diameter bars 100%-(18^2/20^2 x 100)=19% losses!!! ....become much insufficient, hard to tell about the real integrity of structure performance later..

New tenant coming to leisure mall.

actually i noticed most contractors leave their iron bars uncovered. i think it cost them money and space to provide a cover.

Is the structure still safe for occupancy?

if u check other construction sites, u will notice most (if not all) also leave their metal bars outside and exposed to the sun and rain. let me noe which projects actually built a shade for these materials.

i heard fr another staff of ekocheras that saville is not managing their mall. the mall will be self managed by internal ekovest management.

Hearsay Ikon Connaught rental drop to flat RM1,000 per month only. Jia lat... Babizz

40 new malls entering to Klang Valley competition by next year! Retail business faces the biggest challenge of all time!

There are actually more than 40, easily double or triple if u include places like Ikon Connaught as a mall and future unconfirmed ones such as Atria Cheras and Dupion Island Cheras.

Understand each n every businessman wants to maximise the return of investment. But they are not professional in this field, they should engaged professional to manage the mall and hotel although need to pay hefty management fee. This is high end project with the tallest building in Cheras may end up like a pasar malam project if manage by an inexperience team. it is like experiment project for them to test their internal staff capability to run mall n hotel.
How can a construction and development company run mall and hotel ?? In my opinion, they are just too selfish and put too much risk to the buyers like us!

this dev does not have even a fraction of the cash needed to hire a good retail team la.

Hope this is not the case. It will be devastating if it is.

Based on its location and MRT connection, EkoCheras Mall could very well be one of the best mall in town. Don't waste it!

They have money and the major shareholder is top 20 wealthiest man in Malaysia. They bought the land 10 years back with a very cheap price and can easily get financing from it. If u see the financial report, yes it is true that the gearing of the company is high mainly due to financing for duke2 highway which is under construction.

It is just depend on how much margin they want to make from this project and whether the management is good enough to see longer term rental yield for this project by spending a little bit more money to hire a professional team to reduce the risk of this project!

I don't believe the rental can be high yield if everything also DIY ! And the appreciation of the property value also limited !

shareholder is rich never equates to the company being rich.
