I would like to add on to Frustrated Citizen’s article on “Frustrated over the lack of parking facilities” in The Star dated 20th March 2009. Parking facilities are not just frustrating in LCCT. It is everywhere nationwide. Shop lot complexes are one of the worst. There were never enough car parks for customers.
I wonder how the project manager designed the site with minimum car parks. I also wonder how they obtained their approval from the authority to start operating. It seems that only 2 to 3 car parks allocated for each shop’s customers. How would the developer expect their shop owners to have good business when their customers struggle to find car parks? What would you do if we ourselves face the same situation? Won’t we go elsewhere to get what we want? How would this impact on businesses nationwide and especially during this economy downturn?
Developers need to take care of their customers’ customers in order for the shop owners to continue making money which leads to longer term leasing in the development. If developers don’t do so, how are the shop owners going to pay rent, loan to the banks and support future projects when they themselves are struggling to make ends meet?
It seems that no one learn from mistakes of others and think with common sense in putting up a project. I also wonder why banks borrow money for these selfish developers to put up their projects and risk loan payback. Doing business is not just about taking care of your own interest/ business but to go just an extra mile to take care of your customers’ customers will do wonders to your business empire. Imagine when there is ample car parks and patrons finds it easy to get car parks to go to shop lots in your shop lot complex and let the shop owners make more money, won’t the shop owners stay longer in that premise and will faithfully be this developer’s customers? Doesn’t this create a win-win situation ? Shop owners, wasn’t ‘can’t find parking’ your customers common complains?
