Had a look at the initial list and very pleased to see the bigger brands confirmed.

There's only < 20 shops confirmed so far but the mall is able to take on up to 250 retail outlets.

I think it's too soon to conclude how well this mall would perform.

However, given the presence of Village Grocer (big step up from Giant in Leisure Mall), Borders (ie big step up from Popular bookstore in Leisure Mall) and GSC Cinema (complementing Leisure Mall's GSC), I would expect these to pull a wider range of bigger brands in the market.

That said, having seen the current list, I have no issues with smaller brands but most importantly they should be "usable" by the local community. I wouldn't want to see too many overly expensive brands in the mall (ie. attracting 6c6c crowd only) but rather have a proper mix of retail outlets that are appropriate for the local community to be utilised. It needs to fit to the lifestyle of the local community / future residents that will be staying there.

I'm hoping that we could have a bowling alley to replace the one that has been demised in Leisure Mall. However, it shouldn't be the same bowling alley that we had last time in Leisure Mall but should have a fun factor. For instance, it could include other facilities/services such as bar food, drinks, pool tables etc. I would also want a good gym centre in the mall (preferably offering something different to Fitness First in Leisure Mall).

I'm anticipating a good Chinese restaurant which could also be a pull factor for the general crowd. Having a few nice western / upper middle class asian food outlets (Thai/Jap/Korean) will be good too - eg. Madam Kwan, Pappa Rich, Italiannies, Sushi Zanmai, a nice steakhouse etc.

Pretty decent mix of initial list of retail outlets and is not a bad start at all. Looking forward to more announcements on future retail outlets.

Most importantly, must be easy to access. Learn from plaza phoenix failure.

I just posted the list of confirmed tenants.

Thanks for list....
A bit surprise reading "from Singapore" statement...
Ipoh sa hor fun, HK dessert and Vietnamese pho are from Singapore"...
But glad to see Sg investing here...

not bad for the list

typical malls everywhere. haha

really depends on concept running by management team. and luck!

i am not aware... sorry

yesterday at leisure mall see MRT project, seems no pedestrian briged to Mall, MRT just have new pedestrian bridged link to old pedestrian bridged in front mall.

For now, Ekovest will manage the mall.

Wow... The mall must be sustainable. Better to have those established tenants rather than those new face store.

According to propcafe

This only first batch, apparently others tenants like mcd KFC also might also coming. If it is true then good lor.

Just all year round neighborhood mall will do.

One note for BlkH buyers, the current tallest steel bars of this building can be observed from Jln Cheras direction to Kajang.
(ie from Mutiara Timur)
