Open new mall, one mall will be abandoned. Cycle of life... population can inly.maintain so much mall.

Yes, forgot what name
And i dunno the history and why empty so many year
The mall deside it building demolish yet this building still empty now

Pacific Mall JB how now
still abandoned?

Currently renovating to become Sheraton JB open 2025. Close to RTS so quite a good potential

Nothing lasts forever. The in place is now mid valley southkey. One day it took will be abandoned.

wa.. this name never hear before since the late 90's

Just ask them to f off

Stupid town planners that keep on approving newer malls. No chance for the mall to mature and serve each suburb.

Used by those people for so called “buat para”

You just need to lelong it off cheap then big corp from SG will snap it up

Eg Capital City Mall bought over by Mustafa
Iskandar Studio also being bought by SG company

whoever owns that building should have sold the building to IKEA maybe baru biz jalan

I was at Pelangi mall last Friday.. going to be abandoned soon too

Ini semua tempat pun ada.

Funny thing, ghost building Kemayan City become Paradigm really popular. I think that killed Skudai Parade also.

Johor without Singapore is nothing. probably like Kelantan

Ghosts also need to have their own malls right?

there is plenty land in JB
ppl prefer buying landed, thus the happening place keep shifting to new areas.
hotspot over last 10 years been bukit indah and mount austin. downtown mainly a transit place to SG
TS went to wrong place if visiting JB

So what malls are recommended in JB?

Asking as a tourist

skudai parade. last time i heard econsave there sold most reasonable price things in the whole JB

Oh my skudai parade. Kesian. Location not bad. Can use to build service apartment.

Paradigm mall. City square.

the ice rink is the pull factor

toppen, midvalley, aeon tebrau, city square, KSL

Developer so eager to consturct another new mall in Johor be like…

Wont, it always been like tht, if mercato,mc d, Coff. Bean,lionmas close dwn maybe

Been to city square jb. Ok la.

Holiday plaza best mall in JB.

skudai parade I used to live nearby also rarely go, maybe 2-3 times, better option was around the wider area (jusco/aeon taman u, giant tampoi, kip mart, angsana), not close but more options in terms of groceries and other stuff

best world/danga city mall macam kena cursed by the flyover next to it, business plummeted right around the time the flyover was completed iirc. Danga city mall also no tenants attractive enough to pull people over to shop there

waterfront machiam doomed to fail even when I was a kid, block some of the sea view of the istana lama/muzium some more, probably kena tulah

kemayan city lucky the rebrand and rebuild somewhat successful, at least looking from the outside

Not enough middle class msian chinese population in johor?

C pipur quite expert in sme biz/trading biz. If theres a good ecosystem of them operating in shoplots and malls. Usually you can see the commerical area thriving. Can see penang as example and also some cities in KV where thrs higher population of them.

More like too many big malls along that main Skudai road, doesn't matter what racing live where when so many alternatives, used to be got Angsana and optionally Perling Mall, the only hypermarket was Macro and then Giant in far off Plentong, the skudai area and taman u area punya customer base had to travel far if want to shop, before that in the 90s my parents went all the way to JB to shop at either Holiday plaza or Best world.

Years later Skudai Parade appeared, but within a few years of it, iinm, Jusco also started in the nearby Taman Universiti taking away the majority of the customer base for Skudai Parade. Giant also opened a hypermarket in Tampoi along the main road to JB, taking away more of the customer base around 2002, and around that time also got Kip Mart on the opposite side of the road of then the dead Kemayan city.

Too many malls, in fact there was another Giant along the Skudai main road, I don't know if dead or not nowadays.

edit: looks like it's dead too https://www.google.com/maps/@1.5268733,103....i8192?entry=ttu

yeah.. owner x mau rugi.. die die want sell land sexpensive.

up cuming sheraton lima bintang hotel

16 million tourist can't even save the malls.

JOHOR BARU: More than 16 million foreign tourists visited Johor throughout 2023 with the bulk of it Singaporeans.

Skudai Parade sold and soon be demolished for a new mix development project

Another porest city project? Lol

No. This new developer is a reliable one. One that is currently very active developing, constructing and selling in JB

20 years? holy shit that is long left abandoned liddat

Because transportation isn't very accessible here at all, sg ppl come in by the bulk via bus, once you leave the immigration, most if not all will grab over to their destination , with the seemingly worst jam over at the pickup points each day as time progresses, you only can cater to so many of these tourist via grab. Mrt is very viable in JB right now, too bad it hasn't been done so earlier, as usual stupid planning.

Tasek Central in Tun Aminah
& Sutera Mall
