Went to Sentosa Medical Centra on saturday and saw this project, went to their sales office too (actually they are still finalising the work there), pretty impressive with the location as it nearby to LRT and monorail station.
Also nearby to GHKL, IJN and UKM campus, easy to rent out by targetting docs , students ?

Feedback are most welcomed

they just put up one board showing their original price and the after-70k-discount price, but she cant confirm when will the discount period ends

My take :

1. Location is excellent with LRT and monorail within walking distance.
2. Developer has got quite a decent reputation in Penang and KLCC area.
3. Very reasonably priced.


VERDICT : Buy, Buy, Buy

has it been open for bookings yet? pai kor, r u vested on this one?

pai kor your verdict will be confidence boost for many ppl

not open for booking yet if not mistaken..


now look at the downside of the project perhaps
1. congested area and very limited parking space (unit only comes with 1 car park)
2. good view blocked by the hotels ?
3. anymore ?

Not yet...........but very keen. Cant wait for it to be open to public

I'm looking forward for the launching soon. Any idea how do I register for the soft launch?

On that note would like to add that ALL undercon projects will have delivery risk. Prospective buyers should due full due-dilligence on location, developer and future prospects.

Buying something affordable with LRT connectivity............is a no-brainer

Just visit their sales office, I did mine there

Buying something affordable with LRT and Monorail connectivity

Thanks devils.

Their target completion is within 24months, faster than Zest

no problem mate

that might not necessarily be a good thing

agreed
hmmm...will drop by the sales office one of these days to check it out. seems like a pretty interesting development i would say...

Doesnt matter right, Pai?

they are 2 different location

It matters, and it could be a six-figure gain difference......

If Im a Titiwangsa Sentral owner, I'd rather my property delivered to me in 5 years time

sorry off topic
i just saw this on EPF website
EPF Withdrawal to purchase a second house is allowed after the first house purchased utilizing EPF has been sold or disposal of ownership of property has taken place. Disposal of ownership refers to 'loss of ownership of the first house owned by you either due to auction, surrender of property by court order, transfer of ownership because of love and affection, destruction of house due to natural disaster, abandoned housing project or cancellation of purchase'.
http://www.kwsp.gov.my/index.php?ch=p2memb...rawtype&ac=1850

my current house I did not utilise my EPF 2nd account, so I can still use my 2nd acc to pay for down payment ? anyone can confirm ?
thank you

Yes u can coz i did the same for my 2nd prop

thanks for the promtly reply Pai

But i have yet to settle my loan for the first prop, does it matter ?
Thanks again

Thanks guys

back to the project, one big concern is that this location is really a rundown place surrounded by old buildings

Where is their sales office? When they will open the unit for booking?

i'm assuming the sales office is at the site itself. anyone knows what time it opens its doors till? thought of heading there after work today...

This post has been edited by babana: May 19 2009, 02:29 PM

the sales office is right next to the site, and next to the hotel too
not sure what is their operating hour though...
oh well there will be a night market today at that area

This post has been edited by dEviLs: May 19 2009, 02:55 PM

went to the sales office during lunch time
the sales lady told me 50% were booked by internal parties and business associates (most of the units from level15 are gone)
there were a few lucky one who booked that came just now, one guy even booked 3 units

just back from the sales office. sales rep told me 60% of units for block A are all gone. all kl view units frm level 11 and above are habis whereas for pool / titiwangsa view, all units from level 20 and below are botak.

bookings only reserved to VVIPs now. i was told to sign a form to register for them to call me when it'll be launched. tentative launch date is next week. they'll contact ppl on a 1st come 1st served basis, means if devils signed the form during lunch time this afternoon n me at 5pm, they'll call devils 1st. so to the interested parties, better go to the sales office n sign up quickly, else u might not have a chance to parang here!!

looking at the speed they're selling (10% and 5 floors within 1/2 day - comparing to the time devils went and me), what more can i say abt this project?!

@babana

Do you notice any operating hour of their sales office? Any phone number available?

This post has been edited by Putraskyline: May 20 2009, 09:56 PM

phone number of the sales office is 03-4045 7000

opening hrs is as follows:
mon - fri: 9am - 6pm
sat: 9am - 1pm (by appointment only, according to the sales rep)

that was fast

Babana, after Zest, now this Titiwangsa Sentral?

haha pai kor, i'm super small fry only la compared to u n the others. but similar to most of u guys here, i see this to be a BUY! BUY! BUY! project even though the initial mths after VP will be quite competitive selling or renting it out due to the vast number of units purchased by investors.

say if i get a unit now at RM260k, 10/90 is RM26k and nothing else throughout constrcution period. if i sell for only RM300k immediately (very very conservative estimation, considering the fact that price for block B starts from RM310k) upon VP, i would still untung here. so y put money in FD when u can put it in Titiwangsa Sentral...hahaha!

yea, this purchase is coming only a couple of mths frm zest...dunno if the bank will approve my loan onot also!

This post has been edited by babana: May 21 2009, 10:18 AM

lol me too donno if bank will approve my loan
that also if manage to get 1 unit

btw did you also see the board next to the selling price, there stated another 10k discount, when i ask the sales girl she told me that's on top of the 70k discount

haha, i asked the sales rep the exact same question but she replied everything there is just indicative only and subject to revision. am not putting much hopes on the RM10k though but if it really happens, that'll definitely be even better!

anyway, do note that if u've paid the 10% d/p n u're unable to obtain the loan, they'll forfeit 1% of the d/p n return only 9% to u. basically, RM2k+ will be burnt!

This post has been edited by babana: May 21 2009, 10:29 AM

ouch 2k+
maybe a joint-name application will be easier

been going too far as if already got a unit lol

This post has been edited by dEviLs: May 21 2009, 10:36 AM

like u, im a small fly too...

anyway, had the same thoughts as you. This one is a super value buy, provided I could get my hands on it. Have to pray hard......

to those who are interested in this project, block A has been SOLD OUT in 3 days...n even before soft launch
block B is still available, with prices ranging from RM310k onwards...

Babana, u feel that blok B buyers can still make $$$ at entry cost of 310k?

You manage to get Block A unit or not? I have call their office and their representative said will call me when they launch. And now it has been sold out . This representative are lying to me because she said, many unit will be open for booking.

I posted this same post in another forum thread related to Titiwangsa Sentral - just to share with you all:

We visited the show unit yesterday afternoon.

One of the sales person was discussing with her "clients" (in front of me) about their choice of units, when to make payment and sign SPA, photostating their ICs... then when I asked her (after I stood there as if I'm invisible for 20 mins), she said "ohh it's not launched yet"... LYING right under my nose.

Meanwhile another lady who's working there told me that this "phenomenon" (of internal selling) is not a direction from their penang main office (I have no way to verify that). But another main info that came from her (again no verification) is that block B may be entirely sold to another company.

Disclaimer: All above info are "hearsay" that I got from my visit. But yeah I agree, we have 2 choices: boycott or go there before the sunrise on the launching day.

Does anyone know the current rental surrounding the area and what is the best guess on the future rental and capital appreciation of this property ?

something wrong on that......

Its not lying, they really have not even launch this project officially. Currently booking is open to their own staff and associates only. The "client" u saw is probably an associate or someone who knows the senior guy from developer. Welcome to the real world

With regards of this project, the last thing I'll do is to boycott them.........

Pai brother...

may i know how many property you had own so far? Would like to learn from you how to manage and getting a valuable property

Im a small ciku with a small portfollio, there r many other taikors here with portfollio's 3-5 times of mine, SERIOUSLY


Back to TS, IF blok A is completely gone, I'll pray hard that blok B will not be sold on en-bloc basis n wil be opened to public instead *fingers crossed*

Maybe I should have a "part-time" job in an "associate" firm... property gets snapped up all the time... the best slices of the cake too.

Are you still interest with this property Pai?

Added on May 23, 2009, 11:55 pmFrom wha I search on iproperty pages, Vistana residence rental vary from 1.5k to 2.4k.

This post has been edited by Putraskyline: May 23 2009, 11:55 PM

For GREAT buys, I'm always interested............


this Sentral should trumps vistana's rental once its completed. How much is this Vistana going for now?

Vistana residence rental vary from 1.5k to 2.4k.

Sorry Putra,

What about selling prices? Rental seems good though for a super old condo.

Owh from what I heard (not the fact) , its cost about 350k+.

Pai, for the block B at 310k starting price, if they do open for public, i think its still do-able. What do you think?

similar to aramis, i reckon its still do-able...although the margin is lesser compared to block A. would still be keen to pop into the sales office to have a look but don't think i would camp overnight for a unit there at 310k onwards. fingers crossed dat block B wun be sold en-bloc n just hope they have blocked off several floors of block A for sale upon launching. else its wasting my effort researching abt this project, going to the sales office several times but end up its only reserved to 'staffs n business associates'...

This post has been edited by babana: May 24 2009, 08:25 PM

Aramis n Babana, i agree with you guys

I think you should do some research on the area before committing to buy. Try circling the area at night especially on Tuesday.

I get what you try to say, the entrance of TS will be facing sentosa side, so it's still ok. I used to go to sentosa every night for one year..it's not as bad as one thought although it's not completely safe

This post has been edited by dEviLs: May 25 2009, 12:14 PM

Any updates on booking? Their agent didn't call me yet.

So do I..no magic call from them yet..i guess it's as good as over

V disappointed with the show unit. 1'x2' floor tiles for living hall, small kitchen with no wall tiles but louvre window, masterbedroom with small bathtub.
Suppose to sign S&P today, but change my mind now. I doubt the rental can go for RM1500 and capital appreciation of max RM320000 after completion for the current RM260000 type.

lol! yea, pls change ur mind n pm me if u r confirmed in letting go ur booking. very very interested buyer here!!!

Any elaboration on that part?

boss, pls PM me the details, very interested to take the unit off your hAnd

Pai, u so confidence with this high-rise ? no more units left from developer ? I have not seen it yet, since you so confidence, i think i should go an take a look. anyone want to join ?

haha, still havent heard anything from ykltpm since i posted on the thread yesterday. maybe he's waiting to c who's offering higher $$$ bawah meja

he offered me already!!

hahahah..j/k.

Sorry buddies ! No point to tell you all the unit number as the sales girl told me that the number may still not be confirmed even on the day of signing SPA.
This is also one of the reasons why I am pissed off.
During my 1st visit, I was asked to select 3 units just in case 2 of the units were not available. One week later when I called them, I was told to choose another unit as the previous 3 been taken up. So, I gave them another choice. Last week, I went over to the sales office to confirm my SPA appointment and to view the show unit, but i was told again the unit number may not be confirmed even on the day of signing SPA. What a nonsense !

Hi Guys,
I am new here so appreciate all the advice .
From what i see the developer is indeed chaotic ... everyone there is like buying vegetable so they also like selling vegetable

Anyway, I have also confirmed a unit and hope that this investment is sound.
Last check with them, Block A is 'sold out' but more like 'booked out' lar. The 10K discount is for first 300 early birds ONLY.

Anyone else confirmed your purchase ?

your unit number will be in the SPA, how can't it not be confirmed by then?

haha aramis...u're vested in this project already right?
hentamed berapa biji?

should let small frys like me have a chance in reaping some comfy returns too!

The pricing for this project is quite reasonable, only drawback is the developer's questionable ethics, rookiness and perhaps workmanship.

Definitely worth a look

Added on May 29, 2009, 11:54 amchief, u cant transfer a unit that u dont have, right?

Anyway, dont need the unit number oso, as long as they have reserved a unit for you, Im keen to do business

This post has been edited by Pai: May 29 2009, 11:54 AM

Problem now is most likely no more units are left for layman like me

Any name change should be done prior to S&P, they told me that the developer will forfeit your free car park if you transfer after signing of S&P and all legal fees to be covered on your own.

Anyway, how much $$$ bawah meja would you guys willing to pay for a unit ?

Blok B should come soon.......

It will come soon, but again is it for public or will "booked out" by their associates?

chief i'm just a small fry and new into PI, with very limited bullet aiming something <300k..maybe i shud look at new target else where

bro, u got units to release if we *ehem ehem*?

Dont know still got or not, Was offered 3 days back and I only can take 1 unit ... so need to check, but not sure if registration passed 300 or not else it will be additional 10K + *ahem ahem* so might not be too attractive.

chief, im keen, let me know your offer.....

Boss, do PM me your offer, but no guarantee, 3 days sound like long time for this project.

same here!

This post has been edited by babana: May 29 2009, 05:12 PM

where is the location? is it near to Sentul Boulevard? coz i always pass by but never really observe the condo construction name

in front of Sentosa Hospital.

Am keen. But the way they handle things made me kinda pissed off.

couldnt agree more. but good n cheap things nv come easy i guess...

Whats the progress now? I'm out for vacation for 1 weeks and dunno whether sales office call me or not.

everything sold out. No more units avaliable.

better they close the show house la..

wonder how much the last units in blok B was sold for..........

slightly above 300k i presume coz i think the 10k discount was still available.

I went there on wednesday, they say still got bumi lots available?? I'm confused also...

maybe those will be the only lots available during official launching....
