Yup....After Leisure Mall and MyTown(located next to Jln Cheras)...
Leisure Mall has only 4 halls, limited in supplying the Cheras market.
My guess, GSC of EKC can operate as sibling cinema complementing Leisure Mall, like MV-Garden, BTS-Pavilion. If Leisure Mall tickets fully sold out, come to EKC and vice versa.
Mutiara Barat MRT station can serve as one stop of GSC cinema, for commuters from Kajang/Cheras Selatan (I know Kajang/Cheras Selatan have cinemas but not GSC)

why Propcafe yet to release part 3 of Ekocheras story as promised?

The anchor tenants for Ekocheras mall still unknown other than this alleged GSC. Too many malls in Klang Valley and there is high chansi this Ekocheras mall will fail if the tenant mix is lousy

Great news..Thank you .... Will wait for the remaining sub-10% to nail down ie official announcment.

malls mlls everywhere mall naik condo naik harga naik...gaji tak naik

I believe you have a valid question for Propcafe.
They seem like a bit muted about EKC, except telling EKC as a candidate (among others) suitable for GenY market...

yeah.. GSC Leisure Mall is small and i hope that GSC EKC (if confirmed) can have more screens to serve the needs of cheras folks..

the cinema operator at Cheras Selatan is actually TGV

LFS in Kajang.

TGV in Cheras Selatan and Cheras Sentral. Besides, TGV also presents at Shamelin and The Mines(maybe Velo), making TGV the largest operator in Cheras.

In Cheras or nearby, MBO only operates at Viva but stopped from entering Damai Perdana (of Cheras Selatan)

Cathay is eyeing Cheras Selatan and not sure finalized

CGV is too new at the moment.

So, from the above scenario, one cadidate for EKC is GSC.

Back to KL, all GSC cinemas are with at least 10 halls to capture the market, except for Leisure Mall(LM) and Garden(while My town TBD). The Garden GSC has its MV sibling to "top-up" for battle.
The LM GSC also needs a sibling to complement. If EKC has GSC, it can accommodate 8-or-9 halls, making the LM+EKC "loaded" to capture Cheras + Kajang market.

Looking at the slow progress of ekocheras shouldnt buyers be concernwith completion risk than worry about lad. Ifwe see progress of some projects like you city n green residence they r cleralyin good progress for completion. Definately not this project.hopefully i m wrong but i dont see them completi g by dec 2017

Comparison of apple and orange despite both are fruits.
no question ekocheras is slow and probably will be delayed
however basement consume much more time compared to elevated parking and twice the cost as well.

Why apple n orange comparison. As with any new development snp has a completion date n developer would hv factor in all this period including more work due to mall.so how can we provide execuse for developer 4 being late like basement need more time to complete n so on. This is based on my observation at this stage.i stay nearby n i would love to see this project complete n provide convenience 4 shopping. Genuinely there is risk even for dibs buyers bec they cover up to certain years only after that buyer risk. I hope ekovest being a reputable highway builder do not desappoint buyers sine this is their first maiden prooerty project

wow.. thanks for the analysis of guessing the high possibility of GSC being EKC's cinema operator

Thx for declaring staying nearby.
Do you observe the steelbar pillars started to "grow" taller than the fence when travelling along Jln Cheras (specially the opposite direction towards Kajang)?
Those are the pillars of BlkJ.
The public can monitor further once the building structure has exceeded the fence.

ww1, it is not excuse. but the fact is when you compare to conventional condo, it is not apple to apple comparison with Ekocheras. Some conventional condo even struggle to complete whole project in 36months.

My personal observation is they underestimate the amount of works especially the below ground work required and financing part of the project. However works seems to pick up and hopefully significant progress is achieved in coming months.

If we based on ekovest reputation, it should be able to complete.The concern of slow progress require strict monitoring n follow up as it is very slow with just 1+years left to completion. Some structure up is a good sign as highlightd by jagalat but still too slow to be comfort.

As buyers just push n monitor this closely with developer.we heard abt the problem with empire damansara, we wouldnt want to see it here.

Thx for your concern and suggestion.
Regardless how much text exchanged in the forum, it will arrive to one of the practical action items, ie to continuously monitor closely the progress.
So, pls join monitoring with us on its progress...

As for Vempire, my reply was done at earlier post...
