Any friends been to The Strand Red Carpet lately? Was there in February 2015 and was bit shock that the Red Carpet Boulevard in front of Strand Mall appear to be like pasar malam street which have many small stalls selling things and even some hawker stalls .... Phenomenon looks unmatch with the Red Carpet Boulevard France designed....Strand Mall inside also very queit...The Management really need to make some effort to alive the place...

pasar malam is considered good for encor location n management.. Strend mall many tenant suffering n i think the mall will nvr close down but will continue to lose occupancy n someday will be just an empty mall with free toilet for the nearby ppl blush.gif blush.gif

oh... the design of the Red Carpet is nice ... thought it will b a happening place at first.... the way Encor bring in hawker stalls is not a good idea I think
... if u have chance to visit the place then you will notice that there are some watermarks appear on the Red Carpet street floor... it could be the consequence of bringing in those hawker stalls in the place...If Encor wants to bring in those stalls , then they must ensure it won't destroy the cleaness of the street... otherwise
this would become worse in future...

I think they not bothered about the mall/stalls as they busy selling themself to feld@... i bliv there is NO way to save the strand, what u think as a local from thr? malls usually dun bring in many type of tenant tht may cause damage/equipment not suitable for mall/red carpet type environment...

Selling to feld@ ???!! you means the Mall & Red Carpet only or the entire Encor incluing Strand Residence will b sold to feld ??
is this feld famous in Mall/ Residence management ?? Honesly I personally felt weird with the street phenomenon which unmatch with
the Red Carpet layout & environment....

Bro, if this is the case, then it will disappoint those residence buyers with the hope that there will b a retail shopping mall
at their bottom living. I went to their Sales Gallery before & was told by their Sales Person that will b a retail shopping mall
with famous tenat....I don't think Strand residence would keen to get a unit there if it's jut a digital mall....

Too bad,Why one land development expert wanna buy? and why Encor wanna sell? This could be a nightmare to Strand residence...
All sweet words and promises by Encor can just become empty kosong!!

yep, I was really impress with the Red Carpet & looking forward to the Mall in 2011...2014 the Mall started opening, I again look forward
that it would bit Sunway Giza... but now really sad to see a nice layout environment end up like this..speechless

Too deep in. And near to the flat areas. It's very good idea to turn it to Pasar Malam.. Suitable to pipu stay around there and get to hang out at comfortable area there buy cheap things. Looks only upscale but need sell cheap things to match market need.

yep, bro. I almost wanted but luckily turn back at the end.. So the Garden Office in front of GIANT KD also will b under feld?? I went to
Garden Office last week... whole block of completed shops/Offices all empty like Ghoust Town...except few facing Strand shops.. I think
rent out also difficult to find tenant now....

bro, r u referring to Sunway Nexis? My persional view is Nexis have more potential & chance to become crowded place compare with Strand.
It just finshed constrcuction this year and facing Persiaran Surian MRT main road. Walking distance to MRT and surronding by
established shops in Dataran Sunway...

Different concepts. Nexis is a hybrid mall which houses restaurants, cafes, boutiques and bars while TG is more of a shopping mall.

Pupulation in KD is growing in upwards trend for the past 10 years. With the existing few construction projects,
KD population is expect to be increased further...Plus the surronding area like Sungai Buloh, D'sara Perdana,
BU, Mutiara D'sara. Tropicana population, I think not enough population is untrue. I personally think that
problems are more on current road condition (due to construction works) that makes folks avoid going to the place,
plus lack of attraction point/strategy from those Mall's Manegement in order to attract crowd.

I do agree the concept seems unique. Almost wanted to buy the service apartment when they first launched. But in the end didnt proceed

population in KD is booming. 5 years ago and today the difference in the crowds is very obvious. perhaps you mean there are too many malls. KD is strange, the aeon big is a ghost mall but just around the corner giant is crowded.

Looks like SS2 mall.
How about their strand walk? Also not good? I thought it was a good concept 4 years back when they launched their residence. Almost wanted to buy 1.

The Strand is quite dead when i went there recently.

My friend sold his house too. The last time i visited was to attend his hari raya open house. This place is hard to get carpark especially at Standard Chartered
