GSM to get facelift
"Golden Sorya Mall (GSM), the semi-open air plaza on Street 51 in Phnom Penh best known for its seedy nightlife, will be undergoing an extensive renovation to make it “more commercially viable”, one of its investors said yesterday, refuting rumours that the near-empty venue faced imminent closure."

About time, or end of an institution?

They have opened a toy store across the road from Na Na. I think it's called H&Y. Nice change from the heroin T-shirts they sell around the corner.

No, but they write heroin on them in large capital letters and then somebody sells them at GSM.

Yeah, the present occupants will only have the leases honored as long as they last too, the times they are a changing
Blott de tama fåglarna har en längtan, de vilda flyger.
What?! The lease is only valid for the time it specifies? You must be fucking kidding me! I thought I could rent a property for a couple of years then have indefinite access! How dare they uphold the terms we agreed to? Those monsters!lordofmisrule wrote:Yeah, the present occupants will only have the leases honored as long as they last too, the times they are a changing

I think you know what I mean, no renewals, you can be sarcastic because it's not your bar or livelyhood. Ah whatever, maybe they are mostly happy to go what do I know? The point is to replace with what? Can you see this being the next Aeon mall? No I thought not. Tous le Jour in the place of Swiss Food, Pizza World where Martinis pizza was and maybe a Zando where Sorja Beer Garden was because that has already gone.Alexandra wrote:What?!

Sorry, I didn't understand that you meant no renewals. There are no guarantees that a lease will be renewed. Tenants who wish to secure their access normally do so in written, but that comes with higher deposits which I suspect the GSM business owner crowd can't afford.lordofmisrule wrote:I think you know what I mean, no renewals, you can be sarcastic because it's not your bar or livelyhood.

I don't see the problem here. Rental agreements are being respected. It's not like the occasional outburst against land grabbing. If you ask for sympathy to someone who invested their livelihood into a temporary rental agreement then you won't get it, at least not from me.
Business owners know the terms when they sign contracts. It's part of the risk they take when they invest in a highly adaptable market such as Cambodia. One day it is, the next day it's not. It's part of the game they chose to play. Some are successful, others are not. There is no moral obligation for a landlord to let a business stick around to satisfy someone's dream about how things should be when there is a functional market which dictates how things will be.
As for Tous les Jours, yes I can imagine it opening up in the place of some skanky bar currently at GSM. The closest one is a stone throw away across the street from the Sorya Shopping Centre, which has also undergone heavy and expensive renovations in the past 6 or so months. It's not just GSM, the whole area around Central Market is changing.

Walkabout is broken to the ground, last time I looked there there was only sand/land.
so apparently the owner was frustrated after 2 years he could really not find a new person who wants to rent it for crazy numbers...
Why not just build a very high chinese Kit-apartment building there and sell out the units to stupid foreigners.. for crazy dollar$
Yeeeee a great idea
