Get ready to have many issues arise after VP. 
Good luck to buyers. 

because the sime darby is involving in a court case which the property were build by the contractor. not sure what is really happening but maybe involve in the quality of project built. As I highlighted the concern in my previous post not long ago

Lakeside mall's website is up with store directory and floor plan.

https://www.simedarbyproperty.com/malls/elm...lake-side-mall/

What kind of fashion outlets you expect to see there?
Out of the city center it’s never going to be a fashion hub.

New township has a lot of young families, having kid friendly brands would be good. If they can get any of the usual suspects i.e Uniqlo, H&M, Cotton On etc ok already

I hope Decathlon can open shop here, makes more sense, fits the township’s profile thst focuses on healthy lifestyle. If banjir, can buy sampan

Where do they like to congregate? i think it is at the park near the rainforest center right?

Just came back from the mall, what a trip. Cars were parked along the roads even before reaching the mall, and I thought to myself no way there are that many people. When I got there, it was packed! Even the two outdoor parking lots were full. I had to circle around to find a spot on the roadside.

Spotted iherng at the sales office, and the mall was so bustling and lively - such a vibrant atmosphere! Not bad at all for the first day.

The warehouse concept is very refreshing. The high ceilings and airy space really give it a nice vibe, it did not feel hot maybe because of today's weather. Saw young families bringing baby strollers and older folks out with their children. A great mix of people, and it feels very lifestyle-friendly, comparable to (if not better than) the Waterfront at Desa Parkcity. The only downside is this mall is not pet friendly.

Most of the shops were already open, but Harvey Norman will only open next Friday, which btw is a huge store. I had only stayed for a short while, but I'm definitely planning to return to check out the massage center and grocery store. Oh, and I picked up some char siew wantan mee to support the food store there. Many promo until end of the week.

Personally I think this place is going to thrive. The turnout was impressive considering it was a weekday. Just imagine how busy it will get on the weekend. It seems like everyone has been craving some entertainment on top of the leisure activities they're already enjoying in Elmina and the neighboring townships. Fingers crossed that the clubhouse for indoor sports will be ready soon.

comparing to DPC? 

Wouldn't say so... I notice majority of residents in my Denai Alam area actually work in KL/PJ areas, all willing to drive like an hour to work, probably not many stay here for MRT proximity. Personally I drive to work at Bukit Kemuning area, typically it's a 35 min~ 1 hour commute for me as well depending on traffic conditions.

Realistically what can they do? Do roadblock then next night come back again. Like cockroach. This is why the lecturer said she cannot live with b40 and unfortunately elmina surrounded by them

Previously there were plans to have a police station at e-Boulevard Denai Alam, but plans eventually got scrapped I guess. I read here somewhere that the previous Elmina Sales Gallery near the Iconic Bridge there gonna be converted to a police beat? Not sure what that means...

I stay in PJ currently but nowadays, going out for lunch at the weekends is traffic jam. And my favourite coffee shops are always packed and there is no parking. LDP forever heavy traffic unless later at night. Rempit motorbikes sounds are a regular. I love PJ but it is becoming more unlivable by the year. Of course if you are younger and have much of your working life ahead of you, stay near where the jobs are and where it is convenient. Elmina may get to that level in 10 years but then I will have retired and going for walks in the parks and short drives to get my necessities while developers will continue to build more and more high density condos in PJ. I have confidence in SDP to get that direct connection to DASH soon and also to get that MRT station but not sure how long. May not benefit me but will help my property value, lol. Elmina has its cons for sure, like distance from KL/PJ, traffic getting there, rempit menace.... but where to buy freehold houses in such an ordered and well planned township? check out other similar developments and their traffic situation is much worse

As bad as it is, I don't know of any new township developments right now out there that's Klang Valley based that has entries-exits enough to accomodate the total capacity of the area. There is always some sort of bottleneck somewhere, somehow. Current traffic commute during peak hours in KV is bad almost everywhere especially the closer you are to KL/PJ area. Sime Darby defo need to improve on Elmina & Denai Alam traffic infrastructure, but I wonder how much really can they ultimately ease the traffic conditions, even with the proposed direct DASH entry that probably gonna be many years down the line to fulfill... Funny thing also that parts of the DASH highway is actually connected to Denai Alam at the Seven Skies Islamic International School area, but they cordoned it off. I think plans might have been made but ultimately PROLINTAS decided against connecting to Denai Alam directly? Just my speculation...

To my mind, the traffic congestion is not due to elmina residents mainly but those from surrounding areas like puncak alam, saujana etc. using the roads in elmina to get to DASH and Guthrie. The main reason why i didn't go for Green series is the distance from the entry/exit. How is the exit to Guthrie in the morning from elmina east side? also bad?
