  • USJ OneCity Mall, located in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, is a mixed-use development that includes office suites, a shopping mall, a cinema, a hotel, and high-rise serviced residences. The mall, part of the larger One City development, was envisioned as a vibrant commercial hub catering to the growing population of Subang Jaya and its surrounding areas.
    History and Development: OneCity Mall was developed with the aim of creating a bustling commercial center in USJ 25. The development included a variety of amenities designed to attract both businesses and consumers. The mall featured a range of retail outlets, dining options, and entertainment facilities, including a cinema. Additionally, the development included office spaces and a hotel, making it a comprehensive destination for work, shopping, and leisure.
    The Decline: Despite its ambitious beginnings, USJ OneCity Mall faced several challenges that contributed to its decline. One of the primary issues was the intense competition from other nearby shopping centers, such as Sunway Pyramid, Subang Parade, and Empire Subang. These established malls offered a wider variety of retail options and entertainment facilities, drawing consumers away from OneCity Mall.
    Another significant factor was the mall’s location. While USJ 25 is a growing area, it lacked the same level of accessibility and foot traffic as more centrally located malls. This made it difficult for OneCity Mall to attract a steady stream of visitors, leading to lower occupancy rates for its retail spaces.
    Additionally, the mall struggled with management issues. Inconsistent marketing efforts and a lack of cohesive strategy to attract and retain tenants further exacerbated the decline. As a result, many retail spaces remained vacant, and the mall’s overall atmosphere suffered.
    Current Status: Today, USJ OneCity Mall is a shadow of its former self. While some businesses continue to operate within the development, many retail spaces remain empty. The mall’s decline serves as a cautionary tale about the challenges of sustaining a commercial development in a competitive market. Efforts to revitalize the mall have been discussed, but significant investment and strategic planning will be required to restore its former glory.
    The story of USJ OneCity Mall highlights the importance of location, competition, and effective management in the success of commercial developments.

    With better management and the right strategy, even a dead mall can come back to life. Take Main Place for example. It was abandoned and dead for more than 10 years. But after a new owner took over and used the right strategy and pricing, the whole place became alive again.

      No amount of management can change the flow of the ocean. Main place succeed because of its size. Probably the smallest "mall" in subang jaya. Space is limited so it doesn't look empty like most large mall.

    One city is a good and strategy location for Offices . The offices still happening and with many big companies and public listed companies . For the mall, the management might can consider rented out the space to University / Colleges. And organize more attrative programes to attract crowds in order can attract big tenants to the mall. With the strategy location compare with some newer but far township, I believe it can be shine again if manage well by the developer.

    • @chestercheng.realestate
      @chestercheng.realestate  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      You might be right. Student traffic will boost the crowds. The management should consider offering cheap rentals to the Uni / colleges to attract them to rent. Short term pain but its going to be a long term gains IMHO

    To attract this place again is to provide a happy hours car park which the rates not like other malls . And the rent rates 10% cheaper from other malls . Even Subang parade also not so many peoples due to car park rates and renting too high . Now days in subang jaya the biuilding properties was too old but the renting like condominiums in KL . Subang Jaya too packed now days . Even 30 years old house selling for rm 1m , ? And the buyers need to renovate it again . Manipulations play around here .

    To solve the emptiness of One City is to construct an overhead bridge from the Main place Mall building which is on the opposite side of the highway ie USJ 21 to One City USJ 25 side..then people can cross over to USJ 25 One city. That will make One city more accessible to the USJ 21 crowd and increase the number of patrons and shoppers to USJ 25.

    As a Putra Heights resident who lives nearby and have seen the place when it first opened, I feel that the place has less of a shopping mall vibe and more of a series of shoplots that are stacked vertically. More of a shopping arcade style concept I'd say.
    The problem is that the shops that had opened were the type that you'd see more in budget mall than the prime grade ones in Klang Valley. and there's nothing much to do there. If we want to go to a mall just for passing the time, Sunway Pyramid is a much more fun mall to be, even if it is just to walk around and window shopping.
    The floor was some sort of dark vinyl(?) material which felt rubbery when walking on and with the fluorescent white lighting, it made the atmosphere felt dark and moody. Had the colour scheme been brighter and warmer, that might go well with the open space concept.

    the one thing would work is bringing in tenants of small private institutions, or private colleges.As this place have aplenty of car park spaces and restaurants. Its a good ecosystem for a one stop place, just like Taylors Lakeside campus or even open area spaces like Inti nilai or limkokwing, jst to name a few
    just the retail and leasing spaces of the mall management must have a brilliant influencing skills and know their right target market to make this right.....

      There is no identity of this place. It supposed to compete with setia walk. There is no well known cinema, no well known boutique, no well known eatery. It has only NSK and that's it. Heck, people go to Summit for NSK instead.

    Wouldn't have known that such a mall existed if it weren't for bon odori, which necessitated me going to Jalan Jalan Japan to get a second-hand yukata. That place kinda reminded me of that Evolve Concept Mall near my place, another pretty much dead mall. Unlike this one however, the latter actually has condos built into the same complex on the same patch of land, so the whole place is still very much alive despite the state of the mall itself.

    The office tower is decently tenanted, I think. Mainly due to availability of parking (which I think is their main business now) B1 is full on weekdays, while B2 can be quite packed too.
    There is an event space, mostly to hold weddings (Bizmilla). Attractive because parking is not an issue at night & weekends.
    There's a few grey car importers there that occupies quite large floor space due to their fleet.
    If you like some weird treasure/curios hunting, there's a shop at the Place side that sells rejected/returned Lazada/Shopee goods. A lot are junks, but some can be decent find. Price varies, can be cheap, can be expensive.

    the marketing team are the ones that should be fired. The mall did not do enough marketing to sell the concept. Another reason could be the heavy rental price per sq ft. They need to hire a brand new Sales n Marketing team, coupled with a new design team, and someone to spearhead these two teams into coming up with new methods on how to turn this mall into something else that would attract the crowd. They need to identify who their target audience are before deciding on what to open. just my two cents. Since there are offices upstairs, then opening up shops like stationaries, IT vendors, etc..

    3. Not friendly to Motorbikes. Seriously, there is no parking for visitor who ride a motorbike, I hate mall that discriminate motorbikes.

    I only go there once in a whole for Jalan-Jalan Japan, which is rare. NSK wasn't there when i last visited. Starbucks closing early depends on the outlet. The one near my office always closed at 9pm but even they closed down adi. Probably also because of the boycott.

    Subang Jaya and USJ had more than 10 Shopping mall ??.That is excluding the most popular and hype Sunway Pyramid.
    And Subang is considered " old " where the first batch occupants would be in their late 60s.
    And the whole Puchong had IOI mall , and connected to quite newly developed Serdang
    The answer is obvious.

    Did you walk past the Place side towards the residences/suite? It was actually a 3-building mall complex. One City, The Place & The Square. (Other than the office & the hotel).
    The Square is the true definition of deadmall. Use to have the largest network game center there.

Reviving half dead malls I havent seen one that is successful, or manage to get to its heydey like Viva Mall, or Cheras Sentral (in its golden age called Plaza Phoenix).

    Too many malls. That whole stretch across USJ from Summit, Giant, Mydin towards One City. Also a lot of Serviced Residences with attached malls at the lower floors. Even one with more recognized tenants and better location (walkable from lrt station) like Main Place (opposite One city across the highway) has problem retaining tenant.

Sad that malays in low cost housing in Kulai area are all paying RM2..00 . But other races in low cost housing, registered under E-kasih are not granted any relief due to their race & religious belief. This is the situation Now in Malaysia.
