if got so much money to splurge and die die wan to invest in condo along federal highway, then this PJ Sentral Garden City(btw PJ Hilton and A&W dive in restaurant) looks more promising than Icon City....why?

- 4.7 acres garden park will be included
- nearer to PJ and KLCC
- walking distance to both Asia Jaya and Taman Jaya LRT stations
- buildings also GBI and LEED certified

only keen to see occupancy rate for new condo that VP'ed in the last 12-18mths ago.

The point i would like to make here is vacancy risk is higher due to oversupply of condos and higher rental.

For those who invested in Icon City and expect to rent out with good price, you need to have a lot of luck and plenty of standby cash reserve.

heard the earliest launch is year end. Likely LH.

Price wise....'thanks' to MS....sure the price will be closer or even higher than Icon City,

Now ppl say mah sing con ppl, later after 3 -5 years, when the whole project completed and become WONG just like ONE UTAMA or SUNWAY PYRAMID, then nobody will say MAH SING I CONNED city liao...will say it's a SMART buy during launch...

But it shouldnt be so big different where those wild effect has been removed. It is like they are hiring a 3D designer for advertisement only!

good point. but if paying these price to own a unit which  facing so ugly flat where people said very noisy around, seems not worth to the price wo

With this as a benchmark for condo prices in PJ area, past launching prices for Glomac Damansara and 5 Stones (both by decent developers) looks cheap now, not sure if still got unsold units from developers.

I think the key selling point for Icon is minimal outlay and interest servicing and repayment obligation only come in 4 years' times. Guess many buyers are thinking of commit now worry later........

pls beware, the LH land tenure for icon city  ended sept 2074.... which is 62 years from now....

and anything below 60 years of land tenure, it is difficult for buyer to secure a loan from bank.... 

+/- rm 1000psf

Went there just now, they got 2 show units:

1.3m for 1300sqft and 700k for 745sqft

Can't remember the exact details.
