Someone should report to MACC, investigate the developer and architect.

Complete is one issue
A badly constructed building, will be very costly to mantain

Exactly.

Anyone can complete a building, but in the long run, quality and workmanship matters. What happened to WPP will scare of investors, just imagine 700staff queing 30min just to take the lift every morning and lunch? Then need to relocate 700staff for safety issue, it is unheard of guysss. Massive headache for WPP. Pity them.

They are greedy by building everything at one go. Even KL Eco City, Pavilion Damansara, BBCC have different consultant & contractor for different phase. That is what we call well managed project. Not to forget they are a reputable developer, consultant and contractor with a very strong track record.

okok….that's explained it all.

I thought EC so cash rich now to complete the engress and ingress.

EC have all the advantages from 3 intersect-highways LDP, Pechala Link & DASH.

u r funny.
assuming indeed empire subang and land is worth rm1bil, one must analyse how much goes into their pockets actually.

say you dispose your own asset. does it realise to 100%? no outstanding loan? no initial cost?

this is one of the latest article on their status which seems pretty decent to be honest.
http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/news...mes-empire-city

but quite doubtful that it paints the real picture.

ever heard of contractual disputes?
with long long list of outstanding payment to suppliers and contractors, funds would be split to be managed for repayment to outstanding creditors and also new incoming contractors and suppliers.

and judging from past, new incoming guys gonna demand huge down payment and advance before commencement of work.

anyway, it's a sore sight for now.
i also wish for a successful completion since it looks like a good place to hang out provided it is delivered safely and proof to be vibrant
*
Well, they might use the RM570m sale of Empire Subang just to pay off suppliers and contractors.

Not to forget, they need to pay LAD to purchaser for late delivery.

They are 4-5years behind schedule, construction material has increase over the years. Especially M&E item since the increase of USD in 2016.

Empire remix also delayed.

IMO they need to JV asap and complete the project once and for all.

Cuci tangan and stop developing after that! 😁

From wat i read....exsim DIDNT TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE EC.
Stand corrected.

They just bought a plot of land in ec and launch mozzaic and promised to get the shopping mall up which was left at 80% completion.

Empire was supposed to ensure the rest are up and running.....

Yeah, heard from insider info says the same too.

As usual one year after another, developer will give statement that the development will complete next year and next year and next year and next year and next year and next year and next year. puke.gif

Despite the recent news, nothing big is moving out of the abandon section.

On another note : Quality is seriously questionable. (same goes to empire residence)

Their completed Empire Damansara quality has been shitty with loads of complain, so just imagine how the overly-ambitious-mostly-abandon-EmpireCity going to be?

You can give defect report on your own unit, but common area defects? See see only.

Traditionally, meh keep everything in house from architect, consultant, etc to main contractor, eatery, mall management, etc. Leopard is unlikely to change it's spots to allow others to lead or manage.

When everything is run internally, the chances of failure is high if the management doesn't run the show effectively.

You can see from their project signboard, most of their address is at empire subang.

U can compare with BBCC, TRX, Midvalley. They are run by well established international developer, project manager, consultants, with proper tender for all their packages.

Just few days we start discuss MEH capability and debt obligations, suddenly today got announcement. Seems like someone is watching. Lol.

Haha just hope with all our comment here, they will improve since this is the only active forum talking about the project.

But I believe once Empire City & Empire Residence is completed.

They will close shop or rebrand. Very hard to gain trust already.
