Hi peeps,

Apologies.. been bz with the CNY rush and all - haven't had time to upload new information. As far as I know, most of the choiced lots have been taken. Will update availability chart (as at 26 Jan) as soon as possible

Hi

A friend told me about 70-75% of Block E (2100/2400sf) already booked up.

There are not many decent units left.

Looks like SDB has done well again in this remaining block despite premium pricing.

@sonycamera,
Sorry I haven't had the time to load up the picture *gulp* but the last time I was there, it was 50% taken up for Block E. As to Block D, only the penthouse and the unit with the service room remains.

wouldnt it be bad if you are living in the houses in ss2 near 5 stones? you get a condominum towering over you?

Do you think the developer cares about what others think? All they care about is their profit. So many highrise in PJ now but the road is still narrow and it only get more congested. Where is the planning? Where is the park?

somehow a sense of dellusion has developed to the mass public property goers in Malaysia, I am not entirely sure with other areas, but Klang Valley certainly has many suckers for sure.

Has anybody every pondered on the thoughts, well there are plenty who regard 400k+ 500k+ property as a dream, and of course on the end other end of the line we have ppl who can throw out near a million or even few million for properties as if those are small change, well in way, this define inflation, 10 yrs back things were well on kept, nowadays properties are rocketing 100k + - per annum, how would the next generation be able to catch up ? This in fact contributes the the build up of our current property bubble scene.

@qsil,
I totally agree with U but times are such; and I doubt property prices will ever dip to what it was 10-20 years ago.

When I paid RM700k+ for a link house 2.5 years ago I thought it was crazy! I never imagined ever paying for a condo at RM1.5m!

Hi, was passing by SS2 this morning and planned to drop by 5 Stones to check out how the sales like for the final phase.

When approachig the site, noticed the place was very busy, apparently, there was a lion dance performance.

Could not get a parking place nearby, decided to skip the visit.

Just wonder if anyone has a chance to drop in and give us some updates..........

Same thing happen worldwide especially Taiwan and Japan, I don't think most young generation will be able to own any landed property unless they inherit them from their parents or they are from super rich family.

i truly agree with this statement!!!!

Btw, this morning, there was "open house" at the show room of Five Stones, with lion dances and so forth.....isn't it sold out yet>?

A friend who went for the lion dance on Fri, told me the rough sale status

- Block D - sold out except penthouses

- Block E - ~70% sold

Hi peeps,

Apologies for not getting back on the sale status. I was there for the "open house" but failed to take pictures of the latest sale chart; Block D (which is the villa block) is the same; where most of the units are taken. As to Block E, well, it's about ~60% sold as mentioned by sonycamera.

I guess most of the good units have been taken *shrugs*

@tinkerbel, yes, I heard most of the good units have been booked up too.

My friend has an eye on one of the available units at mid level Block E. He said it looks at KLCC direction and looks ok to him. He would check with banks re mortage rates before commiting.

I suppose like earlier phases, once the take-up rate hits 70%, the balance will be gone in a couple of months, especially since this is the final phase.

It will be good if there are some Ameera buyers who have taken vacant possession to give comments re building quality and after sale service of SDB........

@sonycamera,
I haven't had a chance to personally look at the building quality of Ameera but initial pictures of a friends' unit (for defect rectification purposes) seems quite ok.

If your friend has found a unit he likes and he is ok with the price, he should just book that unit; that way should someone be interested in the same unit, ur friend has first right of refusal.

@tinkerbel, tks for the advice.

He told me today he would be going to project site tomo again to have a personal feel how the surroundings like on an actual working and school day. He is buying for own use as the kids will likely abroad in 3-4 yrs time.

Btw, he also heard Ameera quality is generally satisfactory, so he thinks five stones should be even better since SDB has priced it such that it is higher end product.

@sonycamera,
I'm act pretty happy with the show-unit quality so if it's going to be that it's good enough for me. I hope he likes it; who knows; we (your friend & I) may end up being neighbours *smiles*

Passed by 5 Stones site after early lunch with a friend but no time to drop in. This friend booked an unit in Ph 2 even before the launch in Jan.

Saw there was some road work along ss2/72, we think it is part of the road widening in anticipation of the opening of SS2 Malll later this year. Looks like there will be keen competition between SS2 Mall and the nearby Tropicana City. This will be good for SS2 residents other than traffic congestion

My friend said the Ph 2 buyers will be signing SPA this month.......

@sonycamera,
Yes, SPA signing has started; on scattered basis. So which unit did ur friend get? Y don't U drop in and have a look since you're keen?

Not sure unit no, but I remember it is high level n can view klcc. You bought blk D?

Frankly, I personally believe 5 Stones will stand out in SS2, it is only the issue of affordabilty.

Btw, any idea as to whether SS2 Mall will hv decent tenants. I believe the degree of popularity of the mall will impact future valuation of 5 Stones,

@sonycamera,
I've no idea who the tenants are at ss2 mall but it would be good if there's a good supermarket there. As to the rest of the stuff, just the neighbourhood stuff for convenience. For hard core shoppers, there's always 1U
