Hello! For those who are unfamiliar, Eco Galleria is like a shopping centre but every individual unit is privately own. Not sure whats the actual word for such concept.
They're 2 in JB now, eco galleria and eco palladium. weekends are full, occupancy rate is like maybe 40% after 4-5 years of completion as of now.

i've been renting a unit here for 2 years. As business is picking up good, we're thinking of buying because:
1. we are staying at this area ( our house is also just 3mins away from here).
2. kids school is also just 1min away from here
3. business is very stable and we wanna get a unit and we can put in more money into the reno and stuff.

But i've always been wary about such commercial projects in MY, such a shoplots in Condo projects, or shoplots in such semi-shopping centre thing. Always see them half-dead or in the end always up in lelong. usually if one day u wanna sell, its impossible to sell.

What are your takes in such projects? Thank you in advance for putting your input here!

weekends are full as in eco host weekly events to keep the place alive. Ground floor usually the restaurants, clothes boutiques etc, im on the 4th floor which i run a 80% Online business, 20% appointment only. my floors are usually filled with law firms, production company etc.

they're around 700-900 sq ft per unit for the top floors. i havent really asked deep into the selling prices but for my current 700sq ft unit im renting, monthly rental is 1.7k.
Installment i heard from the landlord is around 1.8k at current interest rates, but including maintenance fee of 200+, it cound be around 2k+ of commitment per month.
