living area into an office and use the upper deck as a bedroom.
Empire Hotel was also open for purchase and investment. The launch
price was from RM280,000, which was fully furnished and to be rented
back to the developer who will run the hotel. It was a guaranteed
rental yield at 7% for the first 5 years after completion. It was a

Analysis
Empire Subang is one of the most sought after commercial
developments in the Klang Valley. It is situated in one of the most
vibrant and affluent area of Subang Jaya. It is surrounded by many
high-rise apartments like Saujana Residency, Subang Olives, Subang
Avenue, Casa Tiara, e-Tiara and Isola.
However, some speculate that the Kelana Jaya LRT extension line is
going to cut straight across next to Empire Subang. Thus, making it
really a big turnoff for those purchasing this property for
residential purposes, as the noise from LRT and KTM trains could be
unbearable at times. The good news is, those who invest for
commercial reason will cheer for the added convenience of public
transportation. Ever since its completion, the sub-sale prices have
tripled as of 2014.
Undoubtedly, Empire Subang is a prominent landmark of Subang Jaya.
Its unique concept is the talk of the town for years now. Most of
nowadays modern developments are just 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 which
comprise service apartments, shopping malls and office towers. Now,
Empire Subang comes out with 4-in-1 development, with the hotel. The
developer of Empire Subang, Mammoth Empire Group, has proven its
potential after some exclusive successful projects such as The Ara
and The Loft.
Unfortunately, there was a period when Empire Subang was off-limits
to the public due to an explosion that occurred on the 28th
September 2011. During the incident, all occupants were evacuated
while investigations were being conducted for a month. It was
reported that the explosion was due to a leaking gas pipe at a
restaurant located in the lower ground floor of the upscale retail
mall.
