Pinnacle Sri Petaling Mall: Full or Vacant?
Is age of a visitor, a factor in the community mall vs. mega mall? Has living standard and rising expectation changed our views on choosing to spend our weekends?
It is adjoined with the 38 storey Pinnacle Sri Petaling Condominium with 832 service apartments. It is located at Jalan Radin which is a lively and busy shop lots. Described as the epicentre of the vibrant commercial area of Sri Petaling. Completed in 2021.
Many cars double park along square. It is about 150 meters by walking from Endah Parade Mall. The store supermarket is located within walking distance The Pinnacle.
An integrated development which consists of a 160,000 square feet nett lettable community retail mall. 50 units of retail mall. The mall has more than 600 carpark bays.
It features many eateries such as Nam Heong, House of Pok, Zok Noodle, Foloso vegetarian, Hot pot, coffee bean, Baskin & Robbins etc. It has a gym and wellness centre. The atrium features double storey mezzanine floor to feature events. I recall in my younger days as a kid in the 1990’s, the supermarkets that our family frequented was single floors which is not as an open space compared to now. We have to acknowledge that due to the rising expectations from living standards, we see this double mezzanine floor as unimpressive, because we are comparing to the megamalls like Midvalley feature 4 floors of mezzanine open space. Of course, we should adjust our expectations for a community mall as this are locally situated retail space. People who might be 40 above may relate to this. You can comment below. Viewers who are in their teens and 20’s would automatically compare the community mall to the mega malls. Often, I see comments that families would drive to the nearest mega mall anyway for a full day experience. What are your thoughts?
Separately, there are comments that say I should put a sensationalist title like dying mall or dead mall. That is not my intention. My intention is towards making awareness for community malls or malls that may not be getting enough traffic because of the tendency towards the mega malls. Let’s say there are vacant lots here, there is something that management could do to attract the right tenant mix.
