   We chose an empty site in Jalan PJS 7, located besideTaylor’s University  Lakeside Campus.The size of our site isapproximately 2500 m².

  The site has high potential being surrounded mostly byresidential areas. The area has high real estate value due tothe amount of student tenants.The site is also connected bymain roads and a pedestrian walkway to the Bus RapidTransit(BRT) line.

SITE ANALYSIS__________________

     Jalan PJS 7 is mostly a residential area. Located 2

kilometers away from Sunway Pyramid, it lacks commercial

area and facilities such as sport stadium , restaurant , shopping

centres ,etc.

     As the surrounding area of our site is mostly designed for

residents, our team has done a thorough analysis on what can

be added to the location.

     Through this, we managed to identify aspects of the project

that can be improve or added to the area.Thus, presenting our

development proposal for the chosen site.

PROPOSAL 1:

COMMERCIAL AREA-HYPERMARKET

BY: ARRON GOH SWEE TIEN

PROPOSAL_____________

After selecting the site, I propose to build acommercial building. Since Jalan PJS 7 is mostlyresidential, I plan to build a 2 story hypermarket toprovide local residents daily needs and necessities.

Since the site is small, the hypermarket's parkingspace will be limited.It wouldn't be much of aproblem because the end-user will mostly be localresidents which will walk to the hypermarket.

AIM OF PROJECT____________________

The aim of building this new hypermarket isbecause no other commercial building such as shophouses or groceries stores are located nearby.

Building a hypermarket in Jalan PJS 7 can helpresidents save time and money by walking to thehypermarket and getting their daily needs.

Besides, the hypermarket doesn't only sellsgroceries, it also has a cafeteria and a departmentalstores for user convenience.This means if locals needmedicine or they don't need to drive about 2 km toSunway Pyramid to get it.

ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT_________________________________This will be the elements included in the hypermarket:­

Groceries section

Clothing section

Medicine section

The hypermarket will have a widerange of groceries to choose.Shoppers will also get to choosefrom a wide variety of local andimported brands.

Located at the second floor will bethe clothing section. Thehypermarket will offer qualityclothes for cheap prices.Thismeans residents doesn'tnecessarily need to go to the mallfor clothes shopping.

The hypermarket will also have amedicine section that sellsmedicine. Locals can benefit thissince there are no pharmacy orclinics nearby the area.

CafeteriaLastly, the hypermarket will havea indoor cafeteria. Similar to IKEADamansara, it serves variety offoods and drink for an affordableprice. Shoppers and residentscan have a quick bite after ahectic grocery shopping or just tohave a meal.

Rationale:-­ Jalan PJS 7 lacks commercial buildings.­Groceries and daily needs will be easier to get­Making use of the empty land­Easy purchase of food and beverages.

Benefits:-­Allows residents to get groceries within walkingdistance.­A place for locals to have meals, since PJS 7 lacks ofrestaurants.­Saves time and money of resident not having to drivethe distance for groceries and daily needs.­Local residents also can buy their clothes from ourclothing section.

Impact:-­Increase of cars in the area may possibly cause trafficjam.­Lack of parking spaces may cause shoppers to illegallypark infront of other people's house­Traffic jam caused by the hypermarket may also resultto noise pollution affecting the nearby residents.­Increase of cars may be more dangerous for childrenliving nearby.
