Analysis

It is claimed that the 1st phase of Neo Damansara is sold out within a week after it was launched. Nonetheless, this commercial centre will be in demand by huge crowd from Damansara Perdana residents itself, and also workers from the PJ Trade Centre. It is strategically located at the entrance of Damansara Perdana enclave, but there are too many commercial centres in the area.

People from surrounding areas have plenty of other alternatives such as shopping centres in Mutiara Damansara, 1-Utama and Tropicana Mall. Neo Damansara is surrounded by established townships and plenty of amenities. It is just few kilometers away from Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) and Mutiara Damansara. Besides that, it is also neighboring Bandar Utama and Kota Damansara. In the Damansara Perdana itself, there are Citibank, Bank of Scotia and Hong Leong Bank as for banks; Deutches Gasthaus and Friendster Cafe as for bar and cafe; and numerous restaurants can be found.

The convenience Neo Damansara has to offer makes the property a hotspot for young executives living in the area. They can fully appreciate the wide selection of bars, bistros and restaurants. If the local scene does not meet their fancy, a short drive can take them to Mon’t Kiara, Damansara Uptown and Sea Park for a wider choice of food havens and entertainment.
