I dunno what is wrong with all these developers..building all these Malls that doesnt make money for the Shop Owners and they dont even help the Shop Owners to draw in crowd there...very irresponsible developers to tell you .. If you read the promotion pamplet when they want to sell it...they promised the star and the sky to all these shop owners...and they left them high and dry after getting their money...
Don’t blame the developers they want to make money? The corrupt practices of Town council giving away public land to developers and in the end the rakyat become the victims. Look at kajang every public land to given to MKH no development for public it’s has became a concrete jungle ! It’s a night mare MPKj is a corrupt local government
Pavilion Damansara height mall also open one year now, top floor is half opened, but ground floor is full of eatery packed with office boys and girls during lunch time. It has a Tesla showroom among many big brands, so one purpose of malls is branding and exhibition. Common people would come here to chill for food, drinks and gathering.
Sign of trouble. Too many malls too much office floor space too many luxury condo. MaJor contruction industy recession which will trigger overall ECONOMIC RECESSION LOOMING . CAN ACCOMPANY BY INFLATION If RINGGIT CONTINUE FALLING v dangerous!!!
Lalu je USJ dari Summit menghala ke Elite. Banyak gila Mall nyawa2 ikan sebab setiap serviced residence bukak Mall dekat tingkat bawah. Sapa nak pergi semua? Yang besar2 dulu macam Subang Parade & The Curve pun nampak struggle nak carik & maintain tenant.
No spending power. Klang people very funny. They like to spend in KL and at expensive area but when come to own turf, they will be very stingy. Klang is cursed when comes to shopping mall. Look at Kimisawa, Great Wall, Emporium, Chi Liung Plaza, Parkson Ria, The Richest, Billion, The Square, Centro, Bukit Raja Jusco, Carrefour (not even open already died) and Klang Parade...all tak boleh pakai.
Klang people has spending power, these people love to spend on quality stuff, while most of the investors in Klang Mall are selling low quality stuff, because they invest on low quality stuff. Rich people spend on quality stuff, esp those imported fr Europe , Japan, USA. If people open a shop selling local stuff or Chinese cheap stuff, it’s a curse. Unless their stuff is better than imported quality stuff. Even expensive electric car from China are not sellable, why? It looks gorgeous, but the quality is only low, but dangerous! Chinese electric car can self explode ! So dangerous , I don’t even dare to park my car beside a Chinese electric car!
The way we treat our parks and playgrounds most will turn into rubbish dumps... Every morning the parks I frequent are filled with discarded rubbish (pity all the cleaners who had to start working at 6am to clear our refuse), we need to develop better habits before building more parks too
I have read most comments here and I think the writers actually know nothing about KSL Esplanade Mall and also Klang city. You guys have no idea how big is the population of Klang. Let me tell you, Klang is one of the cities in Malaysia with largest population. Besides that, Klang is also one of the 10 cities with most millionaires so the spending power in this city is crazy, but Klang people tend to spend their money outside Klang when it comes to good malls since as big as Klang in terms of size and population, only one mall can be considered as grade A mall, that is Aeon Bukit Tinggi. The nearest better malls are Central I City and Setia City Mall, both are very popular shopping destinations. But Klang people used to shop in even farthest grade AA+ malls in Subang Jaya, PJ and KL because those places are the centre of gravity where premium brands can be found inside a mall. The reason why this mall sucks is because of its location, namely Bukit Tinggi 3 area. The entire development and its vicinity is not yet developed and sorry to say, I don't see any potential of this very location despite the depot of upcoming LRT station is just located next to this mall. The old palm plantation estate, villages (or slums) can still be seen around this area. I remember the first day I visited this mall when it was opened, I already knew this mall would not become successful. I find the layout inside the mall and the parking areas weird, similar to now closed SS2 Mall. When you open a new mall without many famous brands, your mall tend to fail and I am correct about the fate of this mall. Next time when a developer or investor want to build a mall in Klang, make sure to find a better location as there are plenty of choices. If not, the malls could become the next KSL Esplanade Mall, Space U8 in Bukit Jelutung, SS2 Mall in PJ and even The Atria.
There are more malls than people who have deep pockets. 😂 Moreover, every mall is pretty much the same, and all have more or less the same retailers. Maybe, can go there to enjoy the air-conditioned air.
developers nowadays prefer to build & rent. retail floor rental very very high as well as hard terms. shopper's traffic dipped. shop lots rent rates too are very high, wealthy professionals & elites buying up shot lots to rent
KO ingt Klang org miskin yg dduk ke? KO tngok brpe byk perumahan elite KT Klang. Masalah esplanade ni Dia Jauh dari pusat komersil lain.ia brdekatan smpadan Klang -kuala langat . Org ramai lbih suka ke Aeon bkt tingi DN GM Klang yg jaraknya X jauh dari sini.lagipun rasanya org ramai xtau Ada mall sbb ingtkn hotel DN pusat prniagaan laain
The mall located where there are many t1, t2, t5, t20 whatever t and m40. Most of klang bungalows and semi d, gated community, are nearby, from bukit tinggi, 1,2, Botanic, Ambang Botanic, Parkland, Bayu Emas, and KSL garden.
Built mall not only different but stand out among the rest. Almost all mall have the same thing. There's one concept that i dont see which a sport complex in a mall. Indoor swimming pool, Covered running track, Tennis courts Arena for sport event Football stadium Just to name a few.
Klu develop jd entertainment n indoor sport center, mesti ramai dtg. Nie sket2 kedai pakaian, electronic, citizen dh muak la benda2 cmni. Aeon Mall kt sebelah tue pon survive sbab ade wayang je. Klu xde, cengkerik gk jdnye.
This mall is located in a topsy turvy place, bad and congested road, on going MRT project materials that make the sorrounding looks stressful. There is a big chance to attract big numbers of mall goers once the raod are cleared and MRT is completed.
The concept of the mall is pretty interesting as it integrates garden, recreational activities, sports and the usual shopping experience. Usual reason for the mall to be in such state: 1. there isn't enough people around the area 2. bad location - hard to get there/far away 3. too many malls nearby 4. no reason for people to go there - nothing interesting --> because in general, malls are all the same, just different design 5. signs of bad economy - people are getting poorer
Yeah... I like the park beside the mall and the rent a cycle there.. Nice for family hangout and exercise and after that can go makan at the restaurants. Then can do some grocery shopping. Hopefully in due time more shops will open to draw in more shoppers.
its quite common, almost every mall is nearly the same, malaysia economic down fall, nothing special about this mall becoz many as same as this one situation
I live nearby, have been there a few times on a weekend. You definitely see some crowds in the park area and some in the mall. Definitely need more tenants to occupy the space to attract more people. Currently, there are still alot of empty lots
The developers should build medium cost apartments surrounding the mall. In the mall, above it should build condominium / residency / service apartments. It creates convenient to those living in or near the mall thus creating demand. In the mall, you can have private hospital annexed to the mall. And the mall should be strategically located near public amenities otherwise even if you have many shops or restaurant, they need employees to work. The employees need easy transportation that is why best to be located next to public amenities like LRT or MRT. If private college located adjacent to the mall will also create good traffic into the mall. Family likes to find home near school or college and the apartments or condo in the mall will likely to be occupied thus create dove of customers for the mall. In conclusion, building mall standalone will not be good if do not have integrated facilities and amenities as there are already many malls.
If I am not mistaken, I saw almost no signs written in Bahasa Malaysia. Similiar malls in Indonesia have at least English and Indonesian signage and pamphlets.
Hmmm.... There may be some truth in that but for me... Malaysians as well as Klangnites love to go to malls... My reference to its empty is not because of lack of shoppers at the time of filming... Its 10.30am so of course there's very little shoppers... But more to so many empty lots in the mall itself.. Really sad to see...
@@Lewis.Channel yeah location, lack of anchor tenants, nothing special to offer shoppers, better malls in vicinity..would discourage shoppers and tenants to come i guess
@@foodzillafootprints Location must near surrounding with majority population Chinese residential's. Survey just like others mall near surrounding majority with population Chinese residential's still running with good business because more greater buying power.
It honestly looks like a nice mall and it tries to be different with the outdoor space but the population in the surrounding area is not dense enough. They want to make it a community/neighbourhood mall but the neighbourhood is not there.
It started to have more shops and restaurants. Initially only have few eateries and it wouldn't attract many customers. But now it has 1 western restaurant, 1 sort of bar, and 2 nice chinese restaurants. This will pull the crowd to there. It zus coffee, coffee bean but starbuck temporary close wasted cause it that area have nice ambience to drink coffee. Much better than Aeon starbuck very chaotic. More other eateries also opened. It takes time
common rules for any malls… must have an achor tenant or tenants as ur crowd puller.. like big names department store, supermarket (big names, not ur own brand)… having some good achors is a good start.. i’ve seen malls opened without any achors n wellknown supermarkets, all failed.. one must be a mall freak to open up a large mall. this is just my opinion..😅
And very near to other more popular malls like aeon bukit tinggi and GM Klang. The killer traffic jam at the interchanges discourages ppl from klang side to go to this mall too.
Malaysia has too many shopping malls especially in Klang Valley area. The mall is killing all the retailers. The government should look into this problem before approving another shopping mall.
All these shopping malls are like a piece of cake being sliced into smaller and smaller portion. The size of the cake is limited but there are more and more players (malls) in the market who wants a slice of the cake.

Too many malls in Klang Valley with lesser buying power. Middle class community is shrinking. Simple explanation ..M40 trap becoming B40... Economy woes😅😅😅😅😅
The location is wrong. That neighbourhood near Johan setia is not ready for a shopping mall. They just need giant or mydin supermarket with some shoe shops bicycle shop pharmacy and a kopitiam.
Johan Setia ? Isn't that the last stop of LRT 3? If within walking distance to LRT Station, then mall will be full of people when Johan Setia LRT Station is completed
Everybody says I'm creative and have lots of ideas . Maybe one of these days when i'm free I'll drop by and see for myself what I can do to make this place an attraction to the young and old alike . Maybe it's still new and may take some time to draw the crowd --- '' nothing is impossible in this small world '' and that's my motto ........
Selangor and KL cities are overbuilt with Malls and Office Space....Many are empty lots and yet Developers still building new ones. They should stop and Government should think how to plant Trees to COOL down the city.
Singapore in next 25 atau 30 years ahead majority revenue will depend mainly from tourist and it luxurious hotel Casino only . So much changes in that coming years ahead .. The semi high conductor investment , Banking , High end human resources eventually going to other ASEAN country . Even the port will be less traffic due to other developments ports in other ASEAN . But Also due to the high cost of living , property and the high salary of of it human resources .
Location of this mall actually not too bad, but the mall needs to draw more interesting tenants, I'm not sure if the rent is abnormally high for being this far out. I've been here a couple of times because it's pretty near, however, I found it boring after a few trips. No real anchor tenants such as cinema. The grocer there is also not that big. Also general ambience is very dark / dim.
Y do d relevant depts approving these projects allow it? Arent they aware that so many existing malls are empty!!they must turun padang to monitor ....
Business can close temporary, means actually it's been first come first serve thing - to believe nobody will tell the imagination of anticipating a ruling-statement that it's wrong(and it's okay to biz anywhere that's how life starts by common sense, work is just alternative way), registration secure confidence to customers when buying something to return that owner is contactable should be right, the art looks as technology exist that the area here(s.g) want to be believing that it don't exist is the language barrier thing? Any idea?
If natural resting place that's like a badminton size court with shelter if language barrier situation life that's hard to spot, to idea of relaxing point(wish no militarical mind that will claim as intel-gathering suddenly that knows) and chat of surviving in the world like nice(situation-sharing stories).
Yes, congratulations to Anwar Ibrahim who encourage everyone to use smart phones to file census. Sooner or later, everyone is using phone for shopping, billing and banking.
@@foodzillafootprints Asia in general? Europe i waent 10 yrs back... and i go few weeks back still the same no new building...just a few changes only. If in Malaysia...i come back after a year...there will be.many new condos and apartment...ha ha...
This mall is big, nice and strategically located but a lot of visitors on their 1st visit to recce the shops and grocers usually leave DISGUSTED. The mall management are Bongkers expecting visitors and customers to make purchases and digital transaction when there is ZERO WIFI IN THE MALL ITSELF SINCE DAY ONE OF ITS OPENING. Without Wifi what does the mall management expect..USE CASH OR JUST WALK OFF DISGUSTED?
Support normal shops esp mom & pop ones. Just look at the food courts of Singapore. Gave employment to thousands of Singaporeans. Enough of these type of malls. The rentals are a killer. Which banker still handing out money for this ..
Guess only thing is the nice park, bicycle path, canal and playground beside the mall.. Something like what setia city mall has that no other nearby mall offers.
The mall looks good and the surrounding is beautiful. Just need more population around the housing area and the mall will boom. Malaysians love eating and hanging out in the malls. ❤
The location is not strategic. There are traffic jams, those locals with high spending power will not favour to spend in Klang, and the tenant mix is not attractive.

Too many malls in Klang Valley with lesser buying power. Middle class community is shrinking. Simple explanation ..M40 trap becoming B40... Economy woes😅😅😅😅😅
Now diesel price hv increased...next up petrol turn.. A lot of ppl will tighten their belt
The location is wrong. That neighbourhood near Johan setia is not ready for a shopping mall. They just need giant or mydin supermarket with some shoe shops bicycle shop pharmacy and a kopitiam.
That would be a better fit for the neighbourhood, but guess the owner of the land had different ideas.
Johan Setia ? Isn't that the last stop of LRT 3? If within walking distance to LRT Station, then mall will be full of people when Johan Setia LRT Station is completed
Maybe you are right there. Let's hope it's within walking distance from the new lrt station. Thanks
@@tetiwonders7252 Hope so too. Time will tell.
Total 200 malls around KL/Selangor. Good luck KSL Esplanade Mall
Sad how much of greenery was removed just to build this place...i have been here once and told myself i will never go back there again.
Everybody says I'm creative and have lots of ideas . Maybe one of these days when i'm free I'll drop by and see for myself what I can do to make this place an attraction to the young and old alike . Maybe it's still new and may take some time to draw the crowd --- '' nothing is impossible in this small world '' and that's my motto ........
Shoppe is one of the main reason.
Shopee, lazada, zalora etc...
Selangor and KL cities are overbuilt with Malls and Office Space....Many are empty lots and yet Developers still building new ones. They should stop and Government should think how to plant Trees to COOL down the city.
LRT pon belom bukak lagiii, awl lagii video nih
That mall is not strategic location, another is rent lot is expensive like Galaxy Mall Dagang Avenue Ampang
Oh.. I used to rent a kiosk at galaxy Ampang many many years ago😂
The mall in the middle of no where.
Hidden gem?
klang is sleeping town?
I stayed Klang for 18 years... It's slower pace compared to other cities but the traffic is horrendous at peak hours.
I am looking to buy a condo unit with good facility in Klang.
Any recommendations?
Maybe Gravi8? Sorry I'm not a property agent haha😂
New one not recommend because of small size and no separate kitchen .Old one few choices depend on location you want
@@sonialee8139 are you an agent
Spending power decreased kaw kaw nowadays still got genius keep building malls!? As if the current one very good business 😂
Future plan I guess. Once more houses are built and lrt line is complete... Could have more shoppers.
Spending power concentrated in Lazada and Shopee
No mall no cry.
Because of kl@ng boss...😅
I love klang😍
Bakal jadi mcm The Strand...
Oh ye ke.. I tak pernah pergi Strand.... Lalu luar saja.
@foodzillafootprAs ABANDONED as Space U8. Only TGV is surviving there.
Informative vlog! What did you use to film this episode?
Hi. I used the DJI Osmo Pocket 2 with 4k30fps ISO 800 Auto mode.
even i've never heard of this mall, haha
And now you have 😂
If I didn't watch this channel, I wouldn't known this mall existed
backroom vibes
Singapore in next 25 atau 30 years ahead majority revenue will depend mainly from tourist and it luxurious hotel Casino only . So much changes in that coming years ahead .. The semi high conductor investment , Banking , High end human resources eventually going to other ASEAN country . Even the port will be less traffic due to other developments ports in other ASEAN . But Also due to the high cost of living , property and the high salary of of it human resources .
Wasting.. More people like to go to Bukit Bintang and KLCC… or Mid Valley and Sunway Piramid.. other than that useless
My friend who stays nearby prefers Pyramid too... Haha
The majority of those who go there are mostly Malays and Bangladeshis especially in Bukit Bintang and KLCC 🤣😂😅😝
Where is it exact location Bro...
Location of this mall actually not too bad, but the mall needs to draw more interesting tenants, I'm not sure if the rent is abnormally high for being this far out. I've been here a couple of times because it's pretty near, however, I found it boring after a few trips. No real anchor tenants such as cinema. The grocer there is also not that big. Also general ambience is very dark / dim.
I believe there is a TGV here, right? I saw their sign at the highest level at the light staircase.
Y do d relevant depts approving these projects allow it? Arent they aware that so many existing malls are empty!!they must turun padang to monitor ....
Business can close temporary, means actually it's been first come first serve thing - to believe nobody will tell the imagination of anticipating a ruling-statement that it's wrong(and it's okay to biz anywhere that's how life starts by common sense, work is just alternative way), registration secure confidence to customers when buying something to return that owner is contactable should be right, the art looks as technology exist that the area here(s.g) want to be believing that it don't exist is the language barrier thing? Any idea?
If natural resting place that's like a badminton size court with shelter if language barrier situation life that's hard to spot, to idea of relaxing point(wish no militarical mind that will claim as intel-gathering suddenly that knows) and chat of surviving in the world like nice(situation-sharing stories).
Klang nothing will survive or bloom cos all hokkien.. kiang siap.. dun progress
ALREADY TOO MANY SHOPPING MALL
Did you know selangor has 80+ malls and KL has 50+ malls?
After 2 full mins only told where is the location, also in brief but no further elaboration of the residential next to the mall.
Foodzilla... you should interview the shoplot worker.. about the no of customer they recieved... per day/per week..
I actually did.. Very slow on weekdays... More crowds on weekends. Forgot to film it 😂
Not at a good Feng shui location?
Yes, congratulations to Anwar Ibrahim who encourage everyone to use smart phones to file census. Sooner or later, everyone is using phone for shopping, billing and banking.
Malaysia...Build build build build...dig mountain and build condo...build build build...
Not only in Malaysia 😅
@@foodzillafootprints Asia in general? Europe i waent 10 yrs back... and i go few weeks back still the same no new building...just a few changes only. If in Malaysia...i come back after a year...there will be.many new condos and apartment...ha ha...
malaysia terlampau byk mall dgn penduduk 32juta
Look at the areas around it. All poor people who can't afford even the parking. There are hardly any housing developments around there.
Lucky or no cinema there will help human traffic?
I saw a TGV there...
Too many malls chasing after same number of customers...
Which is where you need unique propositions in order to draw the crowds
Who can afford its rental n renovations see for yourself the current acconomy!
KSL stand for what?
Kongkek Saya Lagi
Very nice...wait a bit, soon will be crowded
Can't wait!
This mall is big, nice and strategically located but a lot of visitors on their 1st visit to recce the shops and grocers usually leave DISGUSTED. The mall management are Bongkers expecting visitors and customers to make purchases and digital transaction when there is ZERO WIFI IN THE MALL ITSELF SINCE DAY ONE OF ITS OPENING. Without Wifi what does the mall management expect..USE CASH OR JUST WALK OFF DISGUSTED?
I see... Is telco 4g/5g reception that bad?
Support normal shops esp mom & pop ones. Just look at the food courts of Singapore. Gave employment to thousands of Singaporeans. Enough of these type of malls. The rentals are a killer. Which banker still handing out money for this ..
Indeed👍
I live in Klang
What's the attraction there which other Malls lack?
Guess only thing is the nice park, bicycle path, canal and playground beside the mall.. Something like what setia city mall has that no other nearby mall offers.
Give it time. At the very least, it's built and NOT ABANDONED and waiting for the government to pump in the "investment" to complete it.
White elephant 🐘! Liao 😢
The mall looks good and the surrounding is beautiful. Just need more population around the housing area and the mall will boom. Malaysians love eating and hanging out in the malls. ❤
Good thing about this mall is the nice park with cycling lanes and playground.. Not many malls have this.. Klcc, trx, 1u have nice parks...
The location is not strategic. There are traffic jams, those locals with high spending power will not favour to spend in Klang, and the tenant mix is not attractive.
Because there is a MOLE in the MALL ....Haunted 😶🌫️🥶
Mall without mrt or lrt transit support, it’s hard to survive.
Soon LRT3 will be open..... Soon
Over developed, don't expect the cake would expand in size...
Another new mall has opened at Jalan klang lama
never2 do black floors...kosong !
Didnt notice the floor color😂
Its ok! The developers here are very rich. 😂
😂
Lack of uniqueness or limited entertainment activities.
They building way too many malls. For items easily purchase through online, people just order online.
Never heard about it
And now you have😂
