Sepang Outlet Park Mall @ Sepang Airport City Visit

https://www.mitsuioutletparkklia.com.my/

Mitsui Outlet Park Mall is a mall located in the south of Klang Valley, right in Airport City Sepang district. It is the first Mitsui outlet mall to be opened in South East Asia.
It's around 45 minutes from De Centrum area. The retail outlets there are much bigger than what you get in normal shopping complexes due to cheaper rentals. Expect to see year round sales here. Currently the brands are all the standard Nike, Adidas, Zalora, Padini etc..., basically the variety of shops there are not varied enough.

I've been to the outlet malls in Las Vegas where there's much more brands. For example in this outlet mall only got only 1 surf brand Quiksilver but in Vegas there s Stussy, Ripcurl , Hurley, Reef Billabong etc.

Overall design is ok, well litted with the use of lots of indirect lighting. However, foot traffic seems  quite poor, there were very few visitors around and will take some time before business picks up. I also noticed there wasn't a food court around, just a handful of Japanese restaurants around.  It's quite odd that an outlet mall of this size do not have a food court where people can mix and match to order their food.

Unbelievable Morning Traffic

Traffic flow to De Centrum development project was crazy heavy during the mornings just coming out of the Kajang toll. Seems like everyone exit here to go towards Cyberjaya, Putrajaya and towards the LEKAS toll. Traffic is expected to get worst in the near future as more people find jobs in Cyberjaya and Putrajaya.

The saving factor was the wonderfully blue sky.

Decentrum Site Progress - 03-07-15

Based on the progress seen, the De Centrum Residences owners will be first to take the keys while the SOHO units will probably take the keys later.

De Centrum on track to deliver keys

Called up the sales office today and the sales person mentioned that the Residences block will be ready in October 2015, buyers probably can take the key in  November while the SOHO block will probably be one month behind. On the mall side, it will only be opened in February 2016.

From the construction progress, the developer should be able to meet the deadline. Anyway, the S&P was stamped late so even if they don’t meet the November deadline they would still be able to drag it until December or January 2016. The second question is whether the quality is up to standards.
