Current bank valuation from RM 820 psf onwards.

I have a unit and collected my key too.

My VP letter is dated 23/04/14, Glomac will served the progressive interest / DIBS till this date.

After this date till full drawdown, interest will be taken up by borrower.

Yes, check out I-prop....I am working with an agent called Belinda.

I am looking for tenant only.

Last info I got, no cinema, target open in April 2015.

Retail consultant same as BSC, Empire Subang, both no cinema malls.

I don't think GDR has unit sizes as you mentioned....perhaps it's the office units?

I am looking to sell, but mine is 1022 sf. Interested?

For GDR, it's commercial rates.....

As I gathered, BIG soft opening on 17/03/16.....by 2Q 2016, occupancy will be more than 50%.

These are penthouse units, if your budget permits, why not.....but if I have a budget of RM 1.7m, I would buy TTDI Greens or Uptown Residence.

I don't have it, but time will tell.....and yes, Mara IT Damansara is 1 of them

I am just looking at your perspective.

For a budget of RM 1.7m, you are considering GDR Penthouse units from developer. So I believe you are looking at:-

1) For own stay - nobody would buy a penthouse for investment
2) You have a family, so you opt for larger units
3) Cost of transaction for subsale bothers you, so you are looking at units direct from developers

In addition, for me, I would try to buy:-

1) The most expensive product within a preferred location. Location comes 1st, then the product.
2) The cheapest product within a development.

To put it into perspective, say if I die die must stay in Mont Kiara and with a budget of RM 2m +/-, I would choose the smallest unit in MK11.

As for TTDI Greens or Uptown Residence, for RM 1.7m, go for the smalller units lo, 1600 sf perhaps? Or can consider Tropicana Grande perhaps.....

Well, coming from your concern, for condo within this area, I would shortlist the following:-

1) 5 stones
2) TTDI Greens
3) Uptown Residence
4) Tropicana Grande

Among the above, by looking at just capital appreciation, I would opt for Uptown Residence Family Tower - think there are some developer units, just release. USP - mix development by SHC, Starling, Somerset, Offices.

GDR would not cut into my list as I don't see it as 'family' enough. Some other catalyst for GDR:-

1) TTDI MRT station - completion and operational by 3Q 2016
2) Glo Damansara Mall - 50% occupancy by 2Q 2016, The Tabung Haji building will be fully occupied by 3Q 16
3) TTDI Ascencia - launch at more than RM 1k psf, small units
4) Manhanttan Boutique Hotel - scheduled to open by 3Q 2016

With above, I suppose GDR pricing will escalate to more than RM 1k psf in 2017, but only for small units. Penthouses, the 13xx sf and 18xx sf types will be tough, probably at circa RM 900 psf.

That's entirely coming from my point of view.

I am not boss la....

I sat on the JMB for the entire GD, so all these info I gotten from our JMB meetings update.

I meant 50% occupied by end June 16. Tabung Haji building will be occupied by 1 of their subsidiary, 20 floors at 1 go.

Currently, Menara LGB is filling up fast, so the spill over effect into Menara Glomac.

And yes, I do agree with you, Old is Gold

The bigger units in GDR does not have any USP:-

1) The 18xx sf all have evening sun
2) The 13xx sf either faces Desa Kiara or each other

I suggest you to have a site inspection, to truly appreciate GDR.
