Attached are some pictures taken today (19/03/2011). I think I have made a mistake (my apology) on the progress of Block #2 as the last picture shows that the floor beams are not even concreted yet. The progress of Block #1 is however progressing quite fast as more wall formworks have been erected. Cheers.

intersting, where are these graffiti photos taken?

Thanks, I will go and take a look next weekend.

Block B3 is Block #2 which is also where my unit is.

It looks that way but it is actually very hard to tell for sure from the pictures taken so far. One of the weekends, I will go and take some photos from the top floor of the neighbouring apartments and then we will be able to see the progress better.

I think it was mentioned by tzemania post #1777 about 5 contractors .... and you also mentioned in your post #1762 that Ms Choo said that phase 1 may be delayed or something to that effect.

Please read today's Star page M6 of Metro Section with the headline: Drain Cleared. In one of the paragraphs, it was mentioned that "We know that the land here belongs to the Education Ministry who ......" and that means the squatters are not squatting 1120 PA land and that should be a relief for purchasers.

As a purchaser, I didn't have prior knowledge of this squatter issues and neither was I told about the squatters at the time of S&P execution and thus I still expect timely delivery of my unit and whatever issues with the squatters to be resolved before vacant possession.

Attached are the pictures which I have taken today (26/03/2011) from the top floor of Pangsapuri Permai. The last picture which I took last week (ie on 19/03/2011) was actually showing the progress of the carpark between Block #1 and #2 and not the progress of Block #2 itself. From the 1st picture (this week) you will notice that the progress of Block #5 is actually much faster than all the other blocks - it is now at the 1st floor, whereas the formwork for the 1st floor of Block#2 has just started without any rebars. In the 2nd picture you will see the carpark between Block #1 & #2 is partially concreted. Cheers.

Attached are the rest of the pictures taken today (26/03/2011). The 9th & 10th pictures showed the progress of Block #2, 11th picture showed the carpark between Blocks #1 & #2, and the last picture showed Block#1 which is behind behind the Petronas station.

Actually I am quite pleased with the overall progress since the beginning of this year and I am quite sure it will be completed as scheduled. Hopefully the squatter issues are resolved amicably before handling over of vacant possession. Cheers.

Added on March 28, 2011, 5:47 pmYou are welcome, Befair. I am glad to be of help.

I have corrected my Post #2307 - I actually took the pictures from Pangsapuri Permai (at Jalan PJS 1/25) and not Senja. In the next few weeks I will try to take it from the Pangsapuri Damai Senja (along Jalan PJS 1/52) which should show the progress of phase 2 better. Cheers

The signboard states the main contractor is 'Zeus Development (WP) Sdn Bhd' which is sharing the same office as the developer.

Hi ch_Leong,

Attached is the location map (not to scale) and also the mock-ups showing the various towers. In my previous posts, I have assumed Block #1 = T1, Block #2 = T2, and Block #5 = T3 (sorry for any confusions caused). To avoid confusions among the members/readers, I will henceforth only use T 1 - 5 as per the location map. Cheers.

Attached are the photos taken today (04/04/2011). The 1st 7 photos are taken from behind Petronas and the last 6 photos are taken from Pangsapuri Damai Senja. You will notice from the last 2 photos that the progress at T4 is slower than the rests. Cheers

Added on April 6, 2011, 8:29 amYou are most welcome. The pleasure is all mine. I liken it to feeling the same thrill of seeing on ultra sound photos how well my 1st born is forming in the womb. I am praying hard (and I am sure you are too) that our 'babies' will be carried to full term and delivered safely & healthily without defects. Cheers.

Attached are the pictures taken on 9th April 2011.

The 1st, 8th & 9th photos (on far left with Pangsapuri Damai Senja as background) appeared to indicate that the 1st floor of T3 had been concreted and the workers are already working on the 1st floor columns. The 6th photo showed the workers to be working on half of the 1st floor formworks for both T1 & T2. The 10th & 11th photos showed T4 which seemed to be progressing slowest in terms of percentage of completion whereas the last photo showed no apparent progress on T5 from last week. Cheers!

If you mean the concrete walls at T1 - yeah, they appeared to be very thin - could be optical illusion due to their height. But I think they are mostly curtain/partition walls that are not load bearing since they are so many. However, some of the walls appeared to be thicker than the others. I could be wrong but I think the thinner walls are curtain/partition walls for water pump, generator back-up or HVAC rooms. I would not worry too much about them.

Added on April 11, 2011, 12:09 pmI don't think 1120 Park Avenue has precast concrete walls (or floors) as you will not then see their formworks at site. Also, the precast concrete wall will have to be lifted into place like 'lego' pieces and I have not seen such activities so far.

Load-bearing walls in condos and apartments are normally reinforced concrete walls (either precast or cast at site) and are generally thinner than the normal brick and mortar walls. If you have stayed in an apartment or condo building which has load-bearing walls you will notice that such walls ranges between 3 to 5 inches thick only whereas the brick and mortar walls are easily 5.5 inches or more thick. The edge of load-bearing walls is normally very straight and has perfect 90 degree angle whereas that of the brick and mortar walls is not so perfect. Buildings with load-bearing walls will generally also have thinner reinforced concrete columns as most of the loads are already shared with the load-bearing walls.

Would appreciate if anyone could advise how to go about buying a sub-sale unit still under construction. I am interested to know if there is any restriction imposed by the developer or local authorities, whether I will still enjoy the interest free period etc. I have written to Peters for more information but got no response. Thanks.

Thanks, ch_Leong. I know the interest free benefit for the seller will be forfeited but will it be transferred to the buyer, ie can the buyer take over the benefit from the seller?

I just called Peter's and one of the staff said that sub-sale process is complicated and suggested that the interested seller (ie 1st purchaser) writes in to request for a transfer of purchase & whatever benefits accruing to the unit to the interested new buyer. However, she said that there is no guarantee that the request will be approved by the Board.

Alternatively, the 1st purchaser can cancel the purchase and the interested new buyer then enters into a new S&P agreement with Peter's. I think the alternative is not beneficial to the 1st purchaser as his/her deposit will most likely be forfeited as allowed by the S&P and the interested new buyer may not benefit the interest free period even if he/she can sign a fresh S&P with the developer.

The 1st purchaser would need a sweetener to release/transfer the purchase and unless the interested new buyer has ready cash to compensate the 1st purchaser on the deposit and also some profit, how will the new buyer get financing for the extras that he/she has paid.

Also, the 1st purchaser has to bear the penalty (due to the lock in period) to the bank and also the RPGT, as rightly pointed out by cmk96. Due to such complications, I think cmk96 is also right to advise that we all think twice before selling ..... and I must add ..... before buying. All said, that kills my dream of owning another unit at 1120 Park Avenue. Cheers.

As it was raining quite heavily today (16th April 2011 @ 2pm), I have only taken some photos from the top floor of Pangsapuri Permai which has limited views at the lift area. T1 & T3 seemed to be progressing very fast with the 1st floor and 1st floor columns concreted. If you should drive past the main road PJS1/25 you would now see the progress of T1's 1st floor quite clearly. Couldn't comment on T4 & T5 as they were hidden from view at where I took the pictures. As for T2, I am a bit confused as I am not sure whether the half concreted 1st floor is the T2 or the car park between T1 & T2. Would anyone care to opine? Cheers !
