tenant mix will be a vital point, thats where SP setia have to come into play IMHO (and I think they will)... I think SW has sufficient residence around to support like taman wawasan, puchong jaya, at the rest of the residence around puchong.. 1st impression after looking at some of the photos taken, this place is neat and fresh... it will be a big hit in my opnion...

I think Bandar Puteri and SW are of different league and comparison...

1) How do you go about Bandar Puteri shoplot, most probably you will just park at the nearest shop that you want to go, wanna eat dimsum, park near dimsum shop, wanna eat steamboat, park near steamboat shop.. den after makan, then balik... maybe go other shop nearby buy other stuff, do banking, maybe not..
For SW, just park your car at SW parking lot (few thousand for public), and you can walk the whole building and shops, plenty of choise.. after makan, still can walk around, maybe a cup of coffee, maybe saja window shop, this will create more crowd moving around SW..

2) Nice landscape, water feature that will be refreshing and nice to hang around.. Shadding along walkway, convenient for ppl to move around...

3) Pulling factor.. there will be cinema and fitness center there.. these 2 will be excellent pulling factor for ppl to visit.. Malls with cinema are always proven to be vibrant and lively.. moreover got fitness center summore...

Thus I think even without the residence of SW service apartment, the commercial part will still stay active and busy, and when the residence move into Solace Brio Vio, this place will be even more lifely and vibrant..  .. good heh 

my 2 mao....
