1 Shamelin Mall : Echoes of a Dead Mall. Cheras, Malaysia
1 Shamelin Mall in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, has a rich history that dates back to its opening in 1995. Initially envisioned as a vibrant shopping destination, it quickly became a beloved landmark in the area. Over the years, the mall has undergone several renovations and expansions to keep up with changing consumer preferences and market trends.
In recent years, however, 1 Shamelin Mall has faced significant challenges. The upper ground (UG) floor, which used to be bustling with activity, is now largely deserted. Many of the shops on this floor have closed down, leaving large sections empty and devoid of foot traffic. The situation is even more pronounced on the ground floor, where approximately 80% of the retail spaces are vacant. This high vacancy rate has created a sense of neglect and has deterred potential shoppers from visiting the mall.
Despite these challenges, the mall's management continues to seek new tenants and strategies to revitalize the space. Efforts to attract new businesses and organize community events have been implemented, but the road to recovery remains challenging. The decline in foot traffic and retail sales is a reflection of broader trends in the retail industry, where traditional brick-and-mortar stores struggle to compete with online retailers.
In conclusion, 1 Shamelin Mall has a storied history and remains an important retail destination in Cheras. While it faces significant challenges, its strategic location and commitment to meeting the needs of the community have allowed it to remain relevant. The mall's future success will depend on its ability to adapt to the evolving retail landscape and continue to provide exceptional experiences to its visitors.

    Malaysia's main mistake is leaning into mall culture instead of shotengai. Retail shopping needs foot traffic, hard to get that if the mall is built based on car ownership with no public transport option. Not every township needs a mall, but all townships definitely can benefit from a local shopping street. I don't live in KL anymore, we have one major REIT-based commercial mall where I am which kills older malls that were built for SMEs, with no local shopping area for most neighborhoods. We don't have that much public transport like KL, so people do drive everywhere but even so it's obvious that people choose malls with mega retailers for the all-under-one-roof convenience. Anyway if you think Endah Parade is dead, you should see Salak Park.

    I frequent 1 Shamelin only for the JJJ there, and the god damn confusing layout and upkeep of the mall really strikes me as something that I don't like. There is potential to convert some parts of dying malls into mini UTCs to make services more convenient. Chester, I think you really have to visit Scott Garden. It went from a potential Mid Valley killer when it first opened to the complete dead mall now. Coco Steamboat was previously a pet mall who couldn't survive because of low foot traffic. There were too many bars when it first opened, and probably damaged its reputation to the point that people just thought of it as a drinking place. Last time there was a Tesco, who eventually closed down. The big lot was split into the current Econsave and Mr DIY. There was a Decathlon that closed a few months ago, replaced by a snooker center. Basically, the whole mall is rather dead apart from Econsave and Mr DIY. A really interesting look at a place that went from promising to cursed.

    spent 5½ years as a student at a nearby college (diploma+degree). yup, the only reason my friends & I went here most of the time was TGV. it used to have a Subway and mamak along the F&B area. JJJ came a bit later; bought my convocation shoes there. and yes, the layout is confusing (esp when using elevators) even for frequent patrons 😅 not to mention how isolated the surau is because it’s located at the L1/L2 parking lot with only a couple of ways to access it. nonetheless, had some good ‘college-life’ memories there

    Thank you for accepting my request on this 1 Shamelin Mall. I live nearby this mall and I can say that since it's opened, this mall only doing decent and keep going worst. Even the Coffee Bean shop & McD are there only since like year ago. I only come to this mall to go to LuLu & Jalan Jalan Japan. Other than that, if you go this mall I suggest that you just take elevator because the some escalator are not working and the layout floor are very confusing. I literallly would avoid using escalator in this mall.

    As a Pandan Jaya local, I usually went there to accompany my father to play Badminton at fifth floor, while going to the movies at the fifth floor...back then (when the parking was free until 2015 IIRC) I rarely went to any other floors other than 5th...since the other floors are pretty much empty...that being said...i still remember going to Jalan-Jalan Japan back when Lulu occupied the rest of the third floor...and then going to Old Town White Coffee at the ground floor... TBH...the narrow corridor of the lower floors is a bit off putting (back then and even now), and you could easily get lost there, which is especially bad since IIRC some of the lift aren't accessible from those floor since the doors were shut...and I am not surprised that the upper floor are occupied...since most of them would park at the basement parking (which back then doesn't have escalator to go to the lower ground) and use the lift to go straight to the fifth floor.

    My research only online Malaysia has too many dying malls. Many shopping malls in the United States are being converted into apartments: Housing shortage: Developers are building apartments in malls to help address the nationwide housing shortage. Vacant space: Vacant retail space can waste land, hurt local economies, and decrease tax revenue. Economic decline: Empty malls can cause economic decline, but converting them to residential hubs can generate economic activity. Quality of life: Converting malls to residential hubs can improve quality of life for residents. Examples: Paradise Valley Mall: In Phoenix, Arizona, this mall recently opened 400 luxury units. Lafayette Square Mall: In Indianapolis, this mall plans to debut 1,200 apartments by 2025, including affordable options in a former Sears. HiFi: In Flatiron Crossing, Colorado, this mixed-use community has 345 luxury units and combines housing with green spaces and access to retail and restaurants.
