Orchard Central tenants struggle

[Nooch]

Orchard Central has nothing there..Im not surprised. I mean there's nothing unique there, no new stores or franchise tat is unique. 313's crowded cos of HMV and many makan places.

I think the main contributing factor is the design of OC. Think it won some award but it's definitely not shopper-friendly with lotsa dead ends. Besides that, the retail mix is terrible with no theme. Certain floor you can find those small far east plaza or neighbourhood shops selling clothes. I'm sure more will fold up eventually.

My take on OC has been the same since I saw the Design/Layout. Crap space/human flow planning which then gives you crap shopping experience, coupled with crap tenant mix/management gives you simply a crap shopping experience! This is the reason why the big luxury/jewelery brands are all on the ground floor and mainly facing the front, so that everyone thinks it is a great place to walk in and thus creating a facade to ask for higher rent.

those BIG luxury/jewellery brands are listed companies paying high rental there...

The design of the building sucks and the mall has got no specialty. The carpark also one kind of funny, the place just don't feel "high end", more like a heartland shopping mall. Being there only once and it will be my last.
