Quill City Mall : Dying Before Our Eyes! Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Quill City Mall, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur on Jalan Sultan Ismail, has a rich history that dates back to the mid-1990s. Originally known as Vision City, the project was initiated by RHB-Daewoo Sdn Bhd. However, financial difficulties led to the abandonment of the project, leaving behind partially completed structures. In 2007, Quill Retail Malls Sdn Bhd acquired the site and renamed it Quill City. The retail component, Quill City Mall, finally opened its doors on October 16, 2014.
The mall was designed to be a vibrant lifestyle destination, featuring a mix of retail, dining, and entertainment options. It spans seven floors and includes a supermarket, a cinema, a bowling alley, and various specialty stores. The mall also hosts regular events and performances, making it a popular gathering place for the community.
Despite its promising start, Quill City Mall has faced significant challenges in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent movement control orders have severely impacted its business, leading to a decline in foot traffic and rental income. The mall's financial troubles were further exacerbated by the downsizing of anchor tenant AEON Co. Bhd and the departure of other key tenants. As a result, Quill City Mall's net property income fell to its lowest level in 2020.
One of the main challenges Quill City Mall faces is the fierce competition from nearby malls like Suria KLCC and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. These malls are not only larger but also offer a more extensive range of high-end retail stores, dining options, and entertainment facilities. Their central location in the city, along with their established reputations, attracts a steady stream of both locals and tourists.
In addition, these competitors frequently host high-profile events and promotional activities, further drawing crowds away from Quill City Mall. As a result, Quill City Mall struggles to maintain its tenant mix and foot traffic, making it difficult to compete effectively.
Despite these difficulties, Quill City Mall remains a key player in Kuala Lumpur's retail landscape. With ongoing efforts to revitalize the mall and the development of nearby residential and office projects, there is hope that Quill City Mall will regain its former glory and continue to serve the community for years to come.

    Not a surprise it is a failure, as the DC Mall next door has not been doing well since it opened before Covid. There is already BSC nearby that has been the go-to spot for Bangsar and Damansara Heights residents. Architecturally, it is very run-of-the-mill, cannot tell the difference between it and say MidValley. Even DC Mall is more interesting architecturally with a more open and airy feel to the mall.

  • @sangkancilguru7000

    It just suffers from atrocious and unimaginative management. Bring in new tenants such as Muji, Uniqlo and Nitori, slash rental prices for the right desired tenants, take a page out of 1Utama and Sunway Pyramid to have more interesting tenants such as climbing wall gyms, fitness-oriented businesses (yoga, spinning classes, pilates). Build a pedestrian bridge over to Empire Subang mall to try to pull in more foot traffic there. The fact they don’t even offer complimentary parking for the first 2-3 hours if you spend a certain amount at the mall just smacks of management incompetency.

    This mall was in ICU when Aeon left but later given a second chance at life when NSK started operation. A mall without a supermarket is like a man without balls. Nowadays still see a steady stream of visitors especially UniKL students studying at retail lots at upper floors and tower next door. Plus tourists staying at Infinitum behind. I come to GSC here to avoid the crowds and because of easy connectivity (direct link to monorail station). The main competitor for this mall is not Suria KLCC or Pavilion, but Sogo. Much closer in terms of location (600 meters) and crowd type (middle class).

I usually stay in the nearby hotels. Even stayed at the Quill Residence next door and I think most of the apartments there are for Airbnb. I was even looking into buying a dual key there a few years back but seemed a bit pricy then. Even heard some interesting " stories " about this mall and the reason why it's so dead..lol

    Daiso and Aeon and Borders closed down. It is pretty much alive. Much more alive than Maju Junction nearby. Weekdays after 5PM, parking is FREE - they keep it a secret. Within GSC, Only NuSentral and Quill screen Tamil Movies. So I reach there by Blue GoKL. Free compared to Monorail. There is now a 24-hour Mamak Bistro on the ground floor. UniKL has taken up space on the GSC floor. Perkeso as well. Eco and Mr Diy compete. Eco have more customers. The queue at the cashiers is annoyingly long. Europe In Cinema hold their monthly free shows there so I go about once a month. More if there is a good Bollywood/Tollywood show. I am Chinese so I get these strange looks like I entered the wrong hall.

Having 2 very strong competitors (KLCC n Pavilion KL) it is not a mall of choice when we want to go to a KL Mall.
