Dear bcteh, the piling activities are for the shophouses (which are along the road PJS 1/50 beside the Petronas station) and not block B5. See the Google Map attached.

Sorry, map not attached earlier...

Added on May 13, 2010, 8:52 amDear WEE2000, I took the pictures from the 8th floor of the low cost flats and 12th floor of the apartments beside the Chinese School. I only did it in my moment of curosity and a bit of insanity. I don't encourage anyone especially girls to do the same as it is not safe at all. The lifts of the low cost flats are dark and stinking. I stuck out like a sore thumb and could have been mugged ...

Ok..got it thanks.

bravo vincemy!

I started paying for MRTA d and they still haven't start the piling??

The place there is ex-mining pond. Maybe they want to wait for while till the soil get more stable.

I'm not sure either. Just a guess.

Dear bcteh, the wait for soil settlement should have been over long time ago otherwise the developer would not have the building plan approved and AP to advertise for sale. If the developer has not already done so, they should now quickly sink in a few test piles and do some load bearing tests to check whether their consultant's design of pile caps can take the load of the building blocks. Only after the load bearing tests are successful can they start the whole piling work.

I sincerely pray that I don't wake up one morning to find that when I open my windows, my unit (which is above 10 floors) is at the ground level - don't be alarmed, I am just joking.

I don't understand why the delay in commencing piling work as the project should be deemed viable if about 90% of the planned units have been sold. So, fellow purchasers, we must do our part by following up with the developer. Cheers.

i think the original mine pool, if you refer to the attached google earth view by vincemy is actually on the far right side of the site..the pool there now is elongated at the bottom and is smaller and I think it is not as deep as an actual mine..maybe they just need to do some dewatering and earthwork to reclaim the land..so i dont expect too much risk on the soil stability...but that is just my 2 cents..

is there a low-cost flat project by Peters around that area? my info said it's Petaling Utama Block E. got 276 units.

I am confused by a google map taken in 2001 which showed the area to be occupied by squatters and I can't see any pools. Attached is the map (posted by 'mytotall' on Dec 15 2009) that I have downloaded from http://mytotallyproperty.com/blog1/?p=722

Would appreciate if anyone could verify if the land was actually an ex-mining land.

I remember been to mining place many times since I was very small .. and a mining area would involved many acres, and a big place.

I think if it is a ex-mining..then it would been abandoned long time ago ..since the surrounding already had so many old houses.

Reoly from 1120 on my query on the construction status...

"We take note of your concern. However, with regards to our construction timing, we are on schedule. Do take note that our piling and foundation works have begun. Last but not least, as per the S&P, kindly be informed that we have 36 months to complete the said Project and shall hand over the keys to your kindself within the said period.


Regards

For 1120 Park Avenue"

beautiful template, please see http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1255016/+1620 what we already have.

If from their 1st reply on April 8th to May 12th (when I took the pictures of a bulldozer and a lorry) is called 'timelines are according to schedule', then we better be prepared for a long long wait for vacant possession. Anyway, lets give the developer the benefits of doubt and keep monitoring the progress. I will visit the site again in mid-June and hope there is real progress by then. Cheers

Isn't it the construction is considered started after the project sign-board has been stood up?
I did not see any sign-board of this project there when I passed by the site yesterday.

I heard from an pro investor, earthwork and piling actually took about 1/3 of the total time in construction. So if the construction is 3 yrs .. expect them to spend 1 year in piling and earthwork alone, because it is the most important part in construction that supporting your whole building.

worrr... cool

ya ya wait till the cows come home!!!

salam semua... mcm mana dgn perkembangan pembinaan? dh start piling ke?
selalunya mana2 projek pun preliminary works mesti lambat...sy x risau sgt pada mula ni sbb sy akan risau sekiranya xda apa2 berlaku dalam tempoh setahun lagi...jd pada yg risau lambat start tu...jgn risau sgt ya...
