Tropicana City Mall is, as claimed by Dijaya Corp managing director, is a neighborhood mall. This is why it is especially targeting the neighborhoods around the mall, for instance, Section 17, TTDI and Damansara. Nestled next to the mall is the high density residential area SS2, which has residents of middle-to high-income.As Tropicana City Mall also has a GSC cinema, it attracts citizens who don’t want to brave the traffic just to catch a movie. Because the exit to 1-Utama Shopping Mall is usually jammed at nights and weekends, potential audience may find themselves heading to Tropicana City Mall instead, as it has fewer traffic congestion and the parking bays are usually suffice for its visitors, unlike other malls where you might need a few trips around the car park levels to spot an unoccupied space.Tropicana City Sdn Bhd is said that the mall has received regular high visit counts since Carrefour besides being strategically located, thus Tropicana City Mall would be a mall with potential to invest in.
