Yes, but not 'a' condo but two integrated development . Less than 2 km down the road from Flora is Empire Damansara and across the LDP is the Empire City. Both construction are ongoing and targeted to be delivered by 2013 onwards. The price is >Rm500 psf

Well for me, the condition at this apartment is messy and dirty because of the too many units to manage. Despite the environment you look at location wise i think is a good investment prop as damansara perdana is a uprising township with empire city on the way.

I have a unit here want to let go : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2251265 .

Do let me know if anyone interested. Thanks.

I fully agree with you about the sad condition of this apartment. That is why the price of the units did not appreciate much since launching in 2003?? This was due mainly to the management at that time which did not do a good job in collecting the management fee. So, water supply being cut, no proper maintenance, poor security and a lot other problems.

As a result, the owners and tenants started to move out and the price started to drop. This invited foreigners (the trouble maker one) and Illegal immigrants. Low rental invite low civic-minded tenant. (this is just my general view only and not all foreigners or illegal immigrants are bad)

But since early last year, new Joint Management Committee (JMC) which mostly made up by the owners/tenants. Things started to change and the place is getting better. And the price is going up and so is the rental.

As for too many units, the advantage is more money to collect but only a small area to maintain. This is my view on block H only.

Regarding block H,

How is the parking situation? Any basement car park, always full?

Any crimes - robbery, break in, drug addicts?

Building structure? Thick walls? Since there is more construction starting, is there risk of something like highland towers happening?

Cos I heard that MKLand properties are badly built. Armanee has lots of cracks and leaks and a few more of their developments are problematic.

I've viewed quite a number of units however I'm still pondering on my purchase. This will be my first property (the only one which I can see being affordable in PJ area) and I'm very concerned about the safety of the area for ladies.

I see a lot of foreigners in the areas and whenever I ask around regarding this apartment I get "Doggey place" or "A lot of Africans" and have yet to come across any positive reviews of this place till I came here.

I've been there multiple times and I must say the main attraction for me is to BE IN the apartment to enjoy the view. The walkway, lifts and the surroundings do not give me much security.

I absolutely love the view from this place, but my main concern is the residence.

1) Do you think this place would be safe for a lady to stay?
Security is my main concern here.
2) Do you think the status of this place will improve?
As for the maintainance (The lift sometimes does get terrifying), the people messing up all the clean walls,& etc. Will these all improve?
3) Will the price go up?
Hopefully with the price bumping up, better residence would gradually move in.

I'm truly hoping he price of this place to go up as high end development seems to be popping on both sides of Flora Damansara. I heard that developers are making banglows at the pond beside Block H as well.

I'm hoping if it's true, and as prices gradually go up, the place would buck up as well. At the current moment I'm still pondering deeply my first purchase yet I'm very tempted to just make a move.

Parking - Multi storey car park of more than 15 parking bay with lift but some have to walk a bit. It look like a basement car park but actually you can drive in from the lowest floor at the foot of the hill. Most of the tenant don't park there because you have to drive round and round to every level. But I think it is because there are still a lot of guest parking lots. My neighbor never park on his lot for more than 2 years . You can rent the parking lot for RM100 per month.

Crime - Break in sometime happen but mostly on the lower floor. Never saw drug addict or any sign of their activities(do not mean there are none).

Building Structure - The foundation must be on rock surface as the hill is rock type, the hill is not like highland towers. No construction on the hill at the back of block H. Standard of construction is not great but acceptable. There is a cracks on the front wall in my unit, I believe this is cause by the front door (very heavy fireproof door) slamming during windy day. Will install hydraulic door closer soon.

Note: I am no expert but I did a couple construction before. This is just my opinion only.

Added on March 4, 2012, 7:22 pmFrankly speaking, I would not allow my daughter to stay there alone, Not Now. But there was a young lady wanted to rent a room in my unit.

But I do believe the price will go up (200K by year end for good units in block H, mine included. )

The place will improve.
