:cheers: :banana:
Thanks for this. Great news and an awesome project. Please also refer to the Pavillion thread in the 2020 Countdown section.

That looks like an impressive (and very handsome :okay: project indeed! :cool: It combines many things, but I miss housing. Maybe the area is not suited for private apartment dwellings?

Another winner for KL! :banana:

Well....this isn't the final plan. My friend saw another masterplan 2 years ago and its different. Anyway these are just masterplanning so the buildings and the renderings aren't accurate. Even the height of the buildings aren't confirm as masterplanning involves mainly spacial planning ;)

Wow.. Bt Bintang will be transformed even further!! :D Has construction started?

wah!! that's sooo coool!! quick build!!

Thank you for the caution, szehoong. A bit of wait and see, huh? ;) As you can tell, I feel like TYW: go ahead and build! :banana:

Now given that it may change, I think it will be a great project if it remains somewhere within the parameters shown. :cool:

Arghh...my Acrobat Reader got error cannot read :rant:
Can anyone get the screenshot and display here :D

Sorry, baqthier! :( I'm a technological idiot :wallbash: & therefore can't help you. :D

Let's hope one of your clever contemporaries will come around soon & give you the shot! :angel1:

Hint: it really looks MIGHTY good! :cool:

Well.....they've got the contact number and the name of the development up already but still no construction info board. If I am not mistaken.......the 'gates' are seen opened and they should be ready for the machineries to be transported in. ;)

yea.....I am sure the project should be 'along the lines' of the masterplan ....maybe there's only minor changes.

Sad to know that there used to be a heritage building there - a school building actually (Bukit Bintang Girls School) :( .....there's a public outcry for the building to be preserved but too bad the building isn't listed for preservation/conservation. :(

They could've just preserve the front facade of the building! :rant:

Anyway that area smack right in the middle of the shopping district so I am not too sure if anyone wants to live in such busy area ( for one I would! :D ) but I am sure the majority wouldn't like it. ;) I think the only 'residentials' that could be built there are serviced apartments (which KL are full of em at the moment! :)

I called em the other day and they are so secretive and wouldn't wanna tell me anything about the project. They just want my contacts so they could contact me later on the project...... :?

This project is called The Pavillion :)

Wah!They are just gorgeous!Based on islamic design!The towers looks like 300m-400m!!!Hoping for maybe twin 500meters towers!:clown: Just wonderful.Wonder when they will start and end.Is YTL the developer?I think the area around Prince Hotel has good potential for development too!

WOW! Very nice! 3 office towers!! YTL people will have a much better view this time! We need some eyes on this! Probably it'll make it to KL's top 5 tallest!! Anyway, if email them sure no answer as I have emailed them 2 times...no reply.. :bleep:

Wow... The Pavilion sure is huge and an amazing development!

Three office towers? Looks really tall, wonder how many meters? The buildings look like around the high-300m...

Cool, a 6-star hotel! Who will be the operator, eh? Can be a competitor to the Burj Al-Arab in Dubai (not in size but in service, star rating, etc)...

Cool...it look colorful enough. Like the combination of the islamic and modern design. The islamic design kinda building look like The Royal Pavilion building in Brighton mah :D

http://www.royalpavilion.org.uk/functions/images/qarp.jpg

Can't wait for the construction to start. Btw, can anyone tell me about the construction that is currently taking place beside Yayasan Tun Hussien Onn...is it for the Chulan Square?

i think that Islamic/Northern India style not harmony lah with modern Bkt Bintang setting.. 'theme' building look great in a resort town like Sunway but not downtown.

well.....I really do hope it looked like the Royal Pavillion (perhaps they got the idea from it!) .....notice they also call it Pavillion? :D

Anyway NOTHING is going on at Chulan Square yet........:( is there any construction going on beside Yayasan THO? The only cons there is perhaps the hospital project by KLCC - at the cnr of Jln Bkt Bintang and Jln Tun Razak..... ;)

hmmm.....maybe it would be outstanding in that area.......perhaps it would be good too as it would probably add a more 'colourful' character to Bintang Walk perhaps? :D

I am all for a more diverse architectural styling around that area! ;) ....in fact that is what KL is probably famous for! :)

Got mah. Beside Pusat Kraftangan. Before the construction is not that noticeable, but nowadays once can realised that there is actually construction taking place between Chulan Square and Yayasa THO

Sorry. Not beside Yayasan THO, but beside LTAT building mah :D

There some movement of lorry and heavy construction machine going in to that area this couple of day. One can see it at the main entrance of the construction facing Westin Hotel. Probably the construction of the Pavillion will start much earlier than everyone thought. Anyone with any latest information about this project ?

Sze...any news?

Any news on the two tallies?

But then again..no news yet :(

well.....there is an acute shortage of cinemas in the Bukit Bintang area. The cineplexes at Berjaya Times Sq isn't opened yet. and currently (and for the past 7/8 years there isn't any in that area despite the presence of many malls in that area. In the early 1990s....there are 6 cinemas there - President, Sg. Wang, Odeon (2), Pavillion and Cathay :)

Oh...didn't know that. What happen to all those cinema then :?

Oh...didn't know that. What happen to all those cinema then :?


- President & Sg. Wang cinemas are large cinemas located on the 2nd floor of Sg. Wang Complex. I am not too sure what had happened to the cinema halls which I presumed it is empty but the cinema lobby are now being used by some retailer selling some economy ornamental stuffs ;)

- Odeon cinemas are located on the 3rd floor of Sg. Wang (if I remember correctly)....much smaller than President and Sg. Wang cinemas actually. It is located at where the video arcades are. I am not too sure what is the usage of the cinemas now but these are one of the pioneers of cineplexes in KL ;)


- The Cathay ......was converted into a disco before it caught fire in year 2000. It was torn down shortly after that. :(



- The Pavillion ....one of muh fav Art Deco landmark in KL (although not as ornamented as The Odeon but its sleek lines appeal to me) was torn down in 1999. :cry: Also used as a disco for a couple of years before it was abandoned. It is the largest cinema hall in Malaysia and used to be the most 'high-tech' cinema by introducing the first Quadrophonic sound system and Cinema-scope/Panavision screen! :D

No wonder. All of this cinema dissapear before I move to KL. :D
Pity..but now at least BB will have 2 cinema around that area.

Hahahaa!Sze you know about cinemas very well don't you:P
To you guys,currently which is the best cinema in KL?

Hahahaa!Sze you know about cinemas very well don't you:P
To you guys,currently which is the best cinema in KL?


Well.....I am a cinema buff! :D

Best cinema in KL? In terms of overall quality ke? Quantity ke? Comfort?

And are you comparing individual cinemas/screens (eg. GSC THX Cinema @ Summit, GSC Gold Class Cinema, TGV Premier Cinema) or the cineplexes as a whole (eg. TGV KLCC, GSC Midvalley)??? :?

Gone are the days one large cinema occupies a single building and location so one could compare the diff :D

Hahahaha!Well im a video and sound quality 'fanatic' too!:D
So...i was wonderin which has the best quality cinema?ANy of them has the digital video projector?

overall, gsc is better than tgv in terms of space/comfort & sound. but of course if u don't mind paying slightly more, then go for the gold class in mvm. still my fav! ;)

It's been more than 2 months... no update?
Where's Zahirnya?? His office no internet kah? Or he got promoted to a position where he jalan here and there?

Here is a pic taken from KL Tower 2 weeks ago.There is a huge hole no.I was near the construction site when my batteries went flat :mad2:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/Lovejesse/IMG_0067.jpg

xiexie!
Looks like they are busy working on the core since it seems that the rest of the area looks untouched. Slow progress..they play sandcastle ar? :bash:

How are they doing now? Really wanna see the full rendering lah.

Innovations to lift Malton brand profile
BY ANGIE NG

MALTON Bhd, in working towards raising its brand profile, will build more innovative residential projects, including gated communities in the Klang Valley, to cater to the growing interest in such homes.

According to Malton sales and marketing director Steven Lim, the group will focus on launching more innovative properties at affordable prices.

At its latest project, Mutiara Indah Puchong, buyers will be able to select their choice linked semi-detached homes at the price of terraced houses.

Lim said the 186 double- and 2½-storey quartet link homes under phase 1A would be priced from RM160 per sq ft. The double-storey units, with built-up of 2,159 sq ft, will be priced from RM310,000 and the 2½-storey houses with built-up of 2,582 sq ft from RM350,000.

Located on 82 acres in the rapidly growing corridor of Puchong, construction of the project will commence next month for completion in five years.

?There will be two gated communities within this development. The first gated community will house 186 units under phase 1A and the second one in subsequent phases that comprises 454 homes,? he said.

He said buyers were becoming more security conscious and wherever possible, they would prefer to opt for gated projects.

?Most of the time buyers are keen to buy into a gated project but the higher prices may deter them. Our objective is to provide a safe and secure environment for buyers while meeting their budget,? he told StarBiz.

Effectively, these quartet link homes will be corner units and to ensure maximum security, the access is provided by only one main entrance.

The 82-acre project will feature 1,120 linked semi-detached homes, double-storey terraces, cluster houses and medium and low-cost apartments for a gross development value (GDV) of RM217mil.

The other gated community development currently under way is Mutiara Puchong. The 70-acre project behind the Tesco Puchong hypermarket features a range of residential and commercial properties for a GDV of RM202mil. It is expected to be completed in 2009.

To beef up its stature in the property development sector, Malton was also looking to expand its land bank in the Klang Valley and other growth markets such as Johor and Penang, Lim said.

Analysts said besides property development, the Malton group was also making headway in the project management and construction sector.

?The upside potential will come from the group?s property investment and construction divisions. Malton is beefing up its property investment portfolio and the division is expected to contribute between 30% and 40% to group earnings in the next three to four years,? an analyst with a local brokerage said.

On the construction front, Malton?s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kuala Lumpur Pavilion Sdn Bhd, has been appointed the development manager for The Pavilion shopping mall, located on the site of the former Bukit Bintang Girls? School along Jalan Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur?s Golden Triangle.

Domain-Paul Y. Sdn Bhd, a joint-venture company between the group and Paul Y. Construction Co Ltd, has been appointed the main contractor to design and construct the project.

Construction of The Pavilion, an integrated urban entertainment centre for shopping, leisure and business, kicked off in March last year for completion in 2007. The construction revenue will start streaming in from the financial year ending June 2006.

Malton has also been appointed the turnkey contractor for Sri Bintang Kompleks, a smart school under the Government?s Multimedia Super Corridor project.

The analyst said with the number of new property projects lined up for launch over the next two years, the group was targeting a healthy double-digit growth in property sales from RM166mil recorded in the financial year ended June 30, 2004.

For the financial year ended June 30, 2004, property development contributed 60.9% to group earnings, while the share from construction and project management was 35.4%.

The new projects lined up include Desa Mutiara in Puchong and The Amandari in Kota Damansara.

Desa Mutiara will be located on 78 acres in Puchong, near Taman Mutiara Indah, along the Puchong Damansara Expressway.

Within the vicinity of the Klang Valley's two rapidly growing neighbourhoods, Puchong and Putrajaya, the development will cater to the continued projected high demand for residential properties in the corridor.

The project comprising 1,276 terraced houses, low-cost and low medium-cost apartments and shop lots will yield a total GDV of RM220.8mil. It is targeted for completion in June 2009.

The Amandari, to be located on 98 acres in Kota Damansara, will feature double-storey terraces, semi-detached homes and shop offices for an estimated GDV of RM310.4mil.

Malton?s ongoing condominium project, Li Villas in Section 16, Petaling Jaya, comprising 256 luxury units priced from RM320 per sq ft will be completed this year. The project with a GDV of RM106mil has recorded a take-up rate of more than 90%.

Drove past it a few hours ago. It's all fenced up. One part was open for the truckes and I spotted a huge hole there. :)

wow~ hope to see more construction pic from this project yo~ i like it!!! :okay: i think the style are more regency hindoo(i like it!!) men... bit like that Royal pav in england~ but modern one~ hehe~ :D

wow!! what a beauty!!:happy:

Just spoke to Malton Developers on the phone. Dialled this number which is on the fence of the construction site. Wanted to ask if they have an official website already. The lady said that they do the official launch by mid-year and are currently in the final phase of residential design.
You can contact doreena@pavilion-kl.com for
brochures. So the future webpage will be www.pavilion-kl.com :cheers:

yay..another huge mall.. truly a shopping area! :cool:

When is the expected completion date for this mall...can't wait lor....:D

good lord!!! that thingz huge men!! :eek:

I liked the design of the old rendering better. This current rendering isn't much different from any other malls actually. The old rendering had elements of old world charms such as Mohgul and Moorish elements which could makes it stands out more. Just looks at Sunway Pyramid. Although it is just another suburban mall....its design reeks of a tourist destination - something unique and themepark-like.

I also hope they do something creative with the roof of the mall as many hotel rooms in that area is facing its roof. The last thing we want are thousands of tourist seeing pipings and air-cond units of the mall below ......

What a good idea...maybe you should send them an email regarding this idea of yours. Maybe they didn't think about it at all...;)

yeah.something like Suria's rooftop:D

12-05-2005: GSC to invest up to RM48m on 2 new cineplexes

By Tamimi Omar

PPB Group Bhd’s 54.2% subsidiary Golden Screen Cinemas Sdn Bhd (GSC) is investing up to RM48 million for the building of two cineplexes with a total of 26 screens, says GSC chief executive Koh Mei Lee.

It is opening 13 screens at 1 Utama in Petaling Jaya by June this year, with an investment of RM18 million. It is also investing between RM25 million and RM30 million for a cineplex at KL Pavilion in Bintang Walk to be opened in the first quarter 2007.

“With the opening of the KL Pavilion Cineplex, we would have a total of 121 screens in 19 different locations,” she told reporters after PPB Group’s AGM in Kuala Lumpur on May 12.

GSC now operates a total of 95 screens in 17 locations, including the 18-screen cineplex at Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur, which is the largest cineplex in Southeast Asia and the largest distributor of Chinese and independent English films.

Asked if GSC was looking into expanding abroad, Koh said: “We are looking at viable opportunities in Malaysia; until all viable opportunities in Malaysia have been explored, then we would look for opportunities outside Malaysia.”

She said GSC’s sales for the year was expected to do better compared with last year due to better movie titles. “The line-up for the summer season and the year-end looks very promising,” she said.

GSC's revenue rose 19% to RM104.30 million in the year ended Dec 31, 2004 driven by increased admissions and the opening of GSC’s 12-screen cineplex at Gurney Plaza, Penang in January 2004. It posted an operating profit of RM11.86 million.

Koh said GSC strategy was to target the up-market segment for better returns to the company.

Meanwhile, PPB Group chairman Datuk Oh Siew Nam said the group would face a tough year due to the increase in fuel cost and volatile palm product prices but assured that “generally, we would do ok.”

He said the group’s capital commitment this year was also expected to increase to RM420 million from RM251 million last year due to higher operating expenses and the group expansion activities.

Just curious,is there any proposed project on the land between Crowne Prince and chulan Sq?

Which land is it ah? Is it the small land next to Chulan Square or what?

^^^ It is the land opposite Prince Hotel.....just directly behind the Eden portion of Chulan Square ;)

^^^ It is the land opposite Prince Hotel.....just directly behind the Eden portion of Chulan Square ;)

It is a small size of land right?

No...not that small lah.....I think you're thinking it is the small triangular land but that part is just a small part of the land.....the bigger portion is connected to it. Just go and see and you'll know what I mean ;)

Oh..okay. Thanks for the information. I only pass by that area during nite time aje la. So, basically cannot see anything

NO problem......I also happen to think the building behind Chulan Sq which is U/C is a hotel ;)

RM300m revival of Pavilion
Updated : 29-03-2005
Media : The Edge
Story By : Doreen Leong



Singapore-based Cathay Organisation Holdings Ltd may team up again with Boustead Holdings Bhd to develop a RM300 million Pavilion Entertainment Centre (PEC) at the former Pavilion cinema site in Jalan Bukit Bintang.

Cathay and Boustead, via their equal joint-venture company Damansara Entertainment Centre Sdn Bhd (DEC), joined forces to develop the RM107 million Cineleisure Damansara, Malaysia¡¦s first-of-its-kind entertainment and leisure centre.

DEC director Kwan Weng Foon, who is also general manager of the Equus Group, a unit of Cathay, said Cathay was considering working with Boustead to develop PEC in the heart of Kuala Lumpur with an estimated investment of RM300 million.

Cathay, synonymous with the movie entertainment industry in Singapore and Malaysia, opened its first cinema, The Pavilion, in Kuala Lumpur in 1936. The advent of cineplexes forced the closure of The Pavilion theatre in 1996.

The theatre was demolished in 2000 and the site where it once stood had been turned into a carpark.

Meanwhile, Kwan said DEC expected to rake in RM20 million rental income next year from Cineleisure Damansara, which is located at Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, and slated to open in the fourth quarter of the year.

Speaking to reporters after the unveiling of Cineleisure Damansara yesterday, he said the centre had registered a 40% take-up rate for the centre and expected it to hit 70% by the fourth quarter.

The seven levels of Cineleisure comprise five entertainment and lifestyle floors including a 10-screen multiplex by Cathay Cineplexes and two levels of parking with 1,000 parking lots. Kwan said Cineleisure marked a bold step in an increasing trend for retailers to target the youth market and the re-entry into the Malaysian cineplex arena for Cathay.

¡§Cineleisure is poised to draw its crowd from the potential catchment of over 400,000 residents in the most affluent area in the Klang Valley with a projected 70,000 more residents over the next three to five years,¡¨ Boustead director of manufacturing and corporate planning Koo Hock Fee said.

He..he...Nazrey. The one you posted above is not about KL Pavillion. It's about the former Pavillion cinema. Totally different place. But both in Bukit Bintang :D

Totally different place. But both in Bukit Bintang :D

I am sorry about that ! :sleepy: dia akan tersalah lagi....

Pavilion KL project to cost RM800m
Updated : 29-08-2005
Media : Business Times
Story By : VASANTHA GANESAN



PAVILION Kuala Lumpur, a mixed urban complex, comprising service apartments, offices, hotel and shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle will be built at an estimated cost of some RM800 million, industry players say.

Construction cost in the area would be between RM200 and RM250 per sq ft, excluding land cost, they said.

The 3.68 million sq ft-project is to be developed by Kuala Lumpur Pavilion Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Malton Bhd.

The development is on a 5.1ha-land located between Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Raja Chulan.

In 2002, Kuala Lumpur Pavilion was appointed by Urusharta Cemerlang Sdn Bhd (UCSB) to develop the former Bukit Bintang Girls School (BBGS) in KL into a commercial complex. UCSB was assigned the rights to the land by the Government in return for building the school's new premises.

The shopping complex makes up the bulk of the built-up area covering some 1.38 million sq ft of space.

The 368 units of service apartments and commercial offices make up some 826,000 sq ft and 262,000 sq ft of space respectively.

There will also be a luxury 180-room boutique hotel.

Director of leasing and marketing of Kuala Lumpur Pavilion Joyce Yap said that the intention of the group is to build the Pavilion brand both locally and regionally.

The targeted opening date for the shopping mall is mid-2007.

We have secured about 40 per cent of our tenancy with one major anchor tenant. The other tenants will be specialty anchors, she told Business Times on the sidelines of the Asian Conference of Shopping Centre 2005 last Thursday.

The anchor tenant is Parkson departmental store, which will occupy retail space totalling 260,000 sq ft in area.

We want to secure 20 per cent to 30 per cent of tenant mix with new retailers not found in Malaysia and which would contribute to making Malaysia a shopping destination, she said during the presentation of her paper titled Pavilion Kuala Lumpur Planning from the Basics.

The shopping complex is targeted at the middle and upper-middle income market, cosmopolites, professionals from 25 to 45 years of age, tourists and urban families.

Why did they select parkson when there's already one at sungei wang? Can't they find a new foreign dept. store chain?

Parkson??? Ceh...why they need another Parkson when Sg Wang already have Parkson there. Jaya Jusco will be nice :(

Besides Parkson and Jusco, are there any other department store in Malaysia?

Got somemore like Sogo(only 1), Debenhams(only 1 also), Tangs still around? ,Isetan, The Store, Aktif Lifestyle(aiyah..bought by parkson oredi), UDA Ocean and some small ones ;)

Everyone forgot Metrojaya and Fajar :D

There are some smaller outstation ones like Billion, Looking Good (are they still around?), Super Tanjung/Komtar etc.......

Tangs all closed already......same goes to the likes of XTra, Kerrys, Yaohan, Hankyu Jaya and Chujitsu

The thing is..there are 2 Parkson already in that area wor. S. Wang n also KLCC, n the distance is not that far from each other. I prefer JJ more :rant:

I think whatever the dept store ....all same one lar.....the things they sell inside are basically the same thing also. :D

At least they don't make much difference to me :D

Well, for me it is. They should have Jaya Jusco instead :rant:

Stupid :mad:

^^ yeh do agree wit u thou.. its kinda boring u see same shops just round the corner.. people or even tourist will think that theres just not much variety.. u know.. just like over here.. 1 Woolworth just 1 km away.. another Woolworth.. Stupid!

Billion is still around. i think Looking Good is no more. and Super KOMTAR and Super tanjung are closed already. (i think Super Kinta as well?? coz they are the same company right??)

Parkson again!!!?????Maybe the company should try to take in Takashimaya!!!!
It is s such a great departmental store!!!

I got couple of picture taken already..but my pc still rosak liao...:(

yeah..its better to have JJ there..coz everyone seems to have J card :Dlike me!!
perhaps they gonna have U-Parkson there..like the one in 1U..very upscale type of Parkson...

After you mention,i realise that there are no JJs located in most cities.Usually located outskirts la....But really hope Pavillion will bring in a different name.

i think JJ is busy targeting market for outskirts of kl and other big cities in malaysia..last i heard is that jusco planning to open a new store in cheras and soon to be open the biggest jusco in JB..
back to the topic..why dun they bring in Robinsons? like the one at raffles city..;) dun think we have any robinsons here in kl yet..:D

^^ Cheras? They already had a huge one at Taman Maluri leh.....which is their largest in Malaysia.......

Robinsons.....hmm.......KL used to have Robinsons a long long time ago. Maybe they should reintroduced em again. Bringing in departmental chains can be a bit risky at times. Many had failed ...for example: Yaohan (the parent collapsed in Japan I think), Chujitsu, Tangs....... :(

its one of the two new jusco to be open next two yrs..

ic..never knew that robinsons used top be here..but mark n spencer also the same management as robinsons rite? :?

^^ Oh....izzit? Wah.....Cuepacs is so near my place.....esp my apt at Venice Hill :okay:

Upscale type of Parkson but still cannot bring customer in does not make any different right?

I hardly see any people shopping in there...still people prefer JJ in 1U.

I hope they bring in Takashimaya, Tokyu, Parco rather than JJ..

I think the new Gardens mall at mid valley should have brought in Takashimaya, Mitsukoshi or some new upscale dept. store because the Gardens is supposed to be more upscale.

I guess Pavilion is going to be another same old shopping mall but they did say that they are looking for 30% of new tenants not yet available in Malaysia.

^^ well.. at least theres 30% new tenants.. does that means overseas tenants?

men.. how i wish that ACollezioni and Valentino open a shop there! i remembered Suria only hav GA, EA and AX rite? theres onli 3 or 4 ACollezioni in Asia!! hope Armani can open one in SE Asia!! :nuts:

Isetan will be the anchot tenant at The Garden...but not sure if there will be one or two anchor tenant there like Midvalley..

Indeed if Takashimaya or Selfridges are brought in, kl would be 2 steps on becoming the top shopping destination. Anyhow, i doubt the foreign retailers r interested in here for the time being. The market is not yet matured. We have millions here stick to JJ and Isetan shopping experience. It is not easy to break this popularity. I noticed that Debenham is very quiet even on weekends. I hv seen their staffs numbers being trimmed down hard in recent months. Also, Tangs closure was very much squeezed by the kl competitive market beside its trouble parent company. Most of the high end boutiques here depend alot from foreign tourists. But how long can the kl keep pulling the Arabs to shop here? Dubai would certainly be their next preferred destination one day. Our tourism board shld start pulling more tourists from India and of course, the SEA region.

But Takashimaya sell things more expensive than they are suppose to. It's pretty obvious in Singapore.

But still it is a hot shopping spot in Orchard Road. The brand new Starhill Gallery is a good example, there are a lot of rich people in KL desperate to burn cash.

Numerous upcoming luxurious apartments in KL is a sign that KL needs more upmarket brands, or else the money will go elsewhere.

Burning cash on boutique stores is different from departmental stores :D Debenhams are also selling things on a more expensive scale and that is the reason why not many people are going there. I think retailers learned a lesson there and that is why they are being cautious in bringing in more upmarket departmental stores ;)

Having a departmental store as an anchor tenant is a complicated matter and it is totally unlike a normal retail store. Then are the space to be considered and departmental tenants are usually long-term so there are many arrangements with the mall owners. There would also be a lot of committment and sometimes mall owners have to succumb to the wishes of these anchor tenants and that could create problems. :)

That is why sometimes it is not why that this shopping mall dun want to have this or that but at most times, it is the departmental stores which are choosy. Furthermore most of these stores are also dependant on the parent company initiative to expand to other countries ;)

Sometimes super luxurious brands can't survive in Malaysia. Anyone remember Faberge? They are one of the super luxurious boutique which closes shop at Suria KLCC due to bad business :(

That is because people here are not exposed to or aren't aware of the brand. And also that maybe their 'bejewelled eggs' are simply too expensive :D

Another example is that 'boutique/designers' AV brands like Bang & Oulfsen are not available locally until sometime in 2002. And even that....they do not carry most of the items as its shop here is kinda small unlike the one in Singapore.

Other famous designers brands like Helmut Lang are not available here....sigh.......that is why people still prefer Orchard Road! :D

aha..Faberge..the jewellery brand..so famous with the Faberge egg...diamond studded eggs..

Parkson eyes management contracts

PARKSON Retail Group, the retail arm of the Lion Group, is looking for
contracts to manage department stores to grow its business.
"We are looking for more (management contracts) but we are strict on
our selection criteria which include location, accessibility, complex
management and retail mix," Parkson's chief operating officer Toh Peng
Koon said.
Parkson, a unit of Lion Diversified Holdings Bhd, has identified this
opportunity as one of its growth areas as it will not require the
retailer to pump in any investment into the outlet.
"In terms of store management, we do not own the store but provide
management service which includes day-to-day operations, merchandise
sourcing, merchandise management and financial management. In return, weare paid a management fee," Toh told Business Times in an interview.
When asked if Parkson is in discussion with anyone to manage its
outlets, Toh said that Parkson has been approached by several parties,
but there is nothing concrete.
"We will not take up the offer unless we have confidence in it," Toh
said.
Parkson's expansion is largely dependent on the opening of shopping
complexes and currently it runs 30 stores throughout Malaysia. It now
owns and operates all but one of the outlets - Parkson South City Plaza
in Sri Kembangan.
The outlet, which opened in April 2004, is owned by Kumpulan Emas Bhd
"The outlet is performing below our expectations as it has some
infrastructure problems. We hope that with the second access road and
widening of the interchange, traffic will improve," he said.
Parkson opened its 31st outlet in Alamanda, Putrajaya, on October 8
2005.
It will also be opening an outlet in Kota Baru, Kelantan, in 2006/2007.
Parkson will be the anchor tenant in the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur
scheduled to open in mid-2007, occupying 260,000 in total retail space.
The retailer will also have a presence in Sunway Carnival Shopping
Complex Penang, scheduled to open in early 2007.

would like to see a Harrods openng here....hahaha...but at least Takashimaya la...not Parkson again...this area is opposite Westin and Jw marriott...so must have more up-market stores...

I wish they just drop Parkson from the list...

We shud complain to the management and request them to remove Parkson...May be it works..I have complained to Starhill Gallery on the "Blush" store cos it just opposite the elegant Tiffin Bay, it looks terrible and not nice!! U know what happened to blush now? They relocate Blush to other place...bravo!!!

Kuwaiti firm keen on more property deals

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuwait Finance House (M) Bhd (KFHM) plans to focus on investment banking and fund management businesses here, with initial investments in the real estate sector, said executive director K. Salman Younis.

The company's US$600mil Baitak Asia Real Estate Fund made its first investment in a major project here, the Pavillion, and was keen to invest in at least four other properties in the region.

The fund, set up in collaboration with Singapore-based Pacific Star Group last June, targeted customers in Asia, he told a media briefing yesterday.

Without elaborating, Younis said this project was expected to yield returns of 10% to 15% annually. Full details on the investment would be disclosed in April, he added.

The Pavillion, a mixed development comprising a shopping mall and apartment blocks, is located at Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. It is expected to be completed within the next two years.
Other partnerships being worked out included with Sunway Group to carry out mixed property development, Younis added.

He also said the company would introduce its full range of products and services in three to six months.

KFHM's initial investment is US$1mil and it has interests in other sectors including plantation, motor vehicle, timber and healthcare.

The company, which was one of the three foreign players awarded a banking licence by Bank Negara, planned to use Malaysia as a hub to expand into neighbouring countries, said chairman Jassar Dakheel Al-Jassar.

''We plan to work with existing financial institutions and the Gulf Co-operation Council to leverage their knowledge of the local market and blend that with our expertise,'' he said.

Although KFHM's first branch will be officially launched today, it has been in operations since last August.

As at Dec 31, 2005, KFH had a market capitalisation of US$8.9bil.

That is my opinion only. I just dont think the mall will be open next year. Thats all. Nothing more. Nothing less.

If its open sooner than its schedule date. Great. It will be good thing. If not, I dont think it should be any issue as well.

I can actually imagine the pedestrian scene there. Walkways around the complex. It'll be like the new centre of KL which will even defeat BTS. BTS is situated more like at the tip of the CBD.

^^ trully.. battle ofda 2 great malls :uh: and im sure the pedestrian scene also includes leng lui eh? :lol:

One solution to the above problem is to make an access road just to enter Pavilllion from at a low traffic area(could be hundreds meters away).....just to Pavillion

white sox great idea!emm jalan raja chulan would be the best option when its not busy itself!imagine the weekends i'iipark at wisma cosway and walk there or better still minyak sudah naik kita suma naik monorel loh ha ha!

Yea....it is really goin well.....parts of the structure is already 3 storeys above ground-level ;)

That is a really old picture as Eden Restaurant is still there :yes:

That ugly Wisma Cosway should be demolish..


A demolition would be a waste. Recladding would do wonders.....at least do it up nicely lah. But since it is owned by Berjaya.....I dun think we would be seeing anything exciting from it :(

Anyone happen to be at the showroom..there this one big model of the whole project...very nice :D

So big..you can see it from outside..

Must I remind everyone again that there are no such thing as a 6-stars or 7-stars hotel? :D Any star-ratings above 5 are marketing gimmicks ;)

There are hotels that are reputedly to be 'better than 5-stars' but they are not qualified for the star ratings due to the lack of amenities. Such examples are the KL Ritz-Carlton and Carcosa Seri Negara ;)

Well..next week is already April wor :D

Wow, fantastic news!!! :cheers:

Looking great!

I look at the showroom n pass the entrance n look at the model every single day :D

^^Haiya, look only? Why don't you put a deposit on one of the "Pavillion Residences"?
