Btw can u share oso why u say no. Ur sifu n ur advise is very important!

I tot u book already, still deciding??

Sometime when u listen too many opinion you get confused. As long as u have done your homework, just follow your instinct
Rmbr the price psf you r paying is the price 3 years down the road. Not current price.
Own stay o investment?

Aha! It's not 1000psf but only 830psf after discount. Biggies are even cheaper.
Stigma bro. Many ppl tot is expensive.. But its cheaper than tropicana garden, eco city!
Does it sounds reasonable to you now..kekeke
LH of coz bumi susah a bit..

No. I'm not hurt. In life one have many choices. If he duwan me, I offer u want o not.
5% discount ! LOL

I beg to differ. Comparing apple to apple, simiar concept like Icon, you have
1. Upcoming paradigm residences 800-900psf.
2. Tropicana garden 1200psf
3. Tropics at tropicana mall 800-900psf - mind you this the current sub sales price
4. Surian damansara 800psf- 900psf- sub sales
5. Setia Eco city- 1400psf??
6. UOA Bangsar south - 800psf?
7. Tropicana Metro Park - 700-800psf. Heard new phase they going to price it @ 900psf!
8. Around the vicinity you have zenith @ 650psf?
And the list goes on.

As for Mah Sing, I'm not sure whether this is the right strategy for them. They launch soho, sovo, sohai and residences first before they build mall and hotel.
Imagine if they reverse the sequence meaning they build hotel and mall first, what do u think is the asking price for residences unit? Sure sky high bro! At least this leaves us some room for cap appreciation before the hotel and mall completes.
Not to forget, they will have dedicated ramp, to and from Federal Highway.
Of coz, if the scew up, habis la but as this is their flagship development, I think they die die also must make it successful.

Actually I talk big only bro..I also worry if the decision is the wrong one.. Kekeke
U think I'm as rich as u meh, if one or two investment turn sour still can sustain n steady...

I think Mah Sing makes mistakes n too ambitous when they launch 1st block at 1000psf. They shoot themselves on the foot n sales were slow. Now the price sound reasonable hope this is not an overprice project, finger crossed

Difference btw tower 1 n 2 is tower 1 is semi furnish n tower 2 is bare .. Still Mah Sing is not able to justify the price difference of 130psf on furnishing alone. Technically they actually reduce the price!

Bro, do you mind to share why you think this location got no attraction and bad fengshui.

I agree that eco city and tropicana garden is different leaugue but does the price difference of 500psf to 600psf justifiable?

Sales updates as of yesterday when I was at sales gallery.

Well if in anyway Donald Trumps's crystal ball is accurate and indeed all pigeon hole is the culprit than i reckon other type of similar mixed development will suffer the same fate, not limited to icon only. Mind you have tonnes of them are around. Pigeon hole is anything between 300- 500sf, anything above 700sf i called it small unit, but that's just me.

As for track record, i kinda agree MS does not command similar reputation as their peers, "the likes of SPS and Dijaya" but remember past record doesn't guarantees future success. Not all SPS project are commercially as successful as Setia Mall. Do not want to offend anyone but i feel Setia Walk isn't going that great

Anyway, this is Mah Sing flagship project, die die they got to do it well. After all for the residential tower, density is low. Only 500+ unit. Less competition within the vicinity once completed. Their HQ will be moved here too. Finger crossed hopefully they can deliver as they plan

boss, 3k increase per floor.

I think you should read previous post and do your own judgement whether is a good or bad investment. To me is doable. Others may not agree.

Cisss... I kasi warning sama lu. U dun play play with me... Kekekeke

No la taikor. Can only afford 1 unit. Anyway its my gf wan... Can afford like you and Amint. Everywhere also sapu

U mean the those low cost apt? On the bright side, Icon city is self contained. Also none of the residence block overlooking those low cost apt.
Btw boss, how's the sales so far?

The access road and ramp to icon from ldp and federal highway is quite impressive.

The asking price to me is quite reasonable. 830psf 3 years down the road. On top of this, u get full dibs, spa, even ur loan agreemeent oso free.

Is the invitation open to public? Got free food ah?
