The other day i passed by the Zest and decided to have a look.

If coming from IOI puchong, is there a direct or proposed entry into the project?
Bcos i only managed to make a u-turn after traveling very far along the highway.

ahh... very convenient like this

Puchong condos are generally weak in rental due to the fact that there is not much expat presence in puchong.
Looking at newer condos in puchong, rental is around RM900-RM1000 for projects such as Avilla( located nearby the zest) and The Heron ( same dev as zest)
I did a quick check while deciding to buy the zest a couple of months back. The Zest will obviously get higher rental, but how much higher can it deviate?


Kelana mahkota, Kelana Putera & Puteri...... rental is approx RM1k and is relatively nearby LRT.
My colleague staying somewhere there.

Comparing with Seri Maya, isn't that a little too far fetched? The LRT is located right at their doorstep while zest is still approx 1km away from the nearest station.
Also, Seri Maya is within the KLCC fringe, hardly a good comparison for the zest.

yup i agree... while the LRT is convenient, it does not guarantee high prices on both rental & selling prices.
Vista komanwel is an example where it is located near an LRT but rental prices have always been around RM1k even with large build-ups.
Selling prices has pretty much been the same for the longest i can remember.

opps... my mistake then

Currently Seri Maya is yielding approx RM3k furnished due to expat tenants.
Do you expect Zest to surpass this level? Kindly do enlighten us on the big advantage.

Pantai panorama hasn’t had a joy ride in the past 12 years. Even in late 2007, you could purchase a 1200sf unit for approx 250k.
Due to the massive development of Bangsar south and uoa’s push to improve the general landscape of the area, only then did prices escalate to approx RM350k recently.
Pantai hill park prices improved as well.The removal of squatters did a lot of help too.
MSC status office towers within walking distance from PP will definitely attract good profile tenants.

VK? Too many students and bad management among other things.
Are u confident that zest will not be filled by students too? I really dunno.
Like you stated, let's see what happens in the coming years.

I believe I have stated earlier that LRT is convenient so certain profile of tenants would want to stay in condos near to an lrt. This is especially more so for tenants who work in the KLCC vicinity which is perpetually jammed and Seri Maya is just a few stops away. Puchong is a little to far away, don’t u think?



I think your understanding of Hillpark is a little vague. There are various phases there that do not have the same pricing.
The RM220k that u mentioned is high density phase while the lower density ones are priced between RM350k to even RM450k.
I don’t have much understading in hillpark myself. Kindly do a quick check on the various websites on property pricing. Please don’t generalize hillpark as ‘less than RM220k’.
btw, those RM220k high density ones were selling about RM160k in 2007. I have a nifty program that my valuer fren gave me to check transacted prices.

Regarding PP, whats ur explanation for the sudden surge of RM100k in the past 2 years?
If its not Bangsar south and general improvement of infrastructure in the surrounding area, what then?

Whats the percentage of students in the klang valley who actually pay close to RM2k for a studio unit? 50% ? come on...

To Zesters:
