After ploughing through most of the 44 pages....(perhaps I would have gotten to the answer more easily by just calling a SA or dropping by the gallery)...There a wide spectrum of units available..

1. Residenz via Tower 1 (40 storeys with 249 units)
2. Creative Residences via Tower 2 with 11 layouts:
(Type B1 675, B1a 708, B2 813, B3 717, B4 922)
(Type C1 965, C2 992, C3 992)
(Type D1 717, D2 1265)
(Type E 1405)
3. iSovo via Tower 3 and 3A (436, 745, 1084, 1094 sf sizes)
4. Boutique offices via Tower 5
5. 30 Jewels Shop Office (apparently sold out)

Simple question is, are all the above sold on Commercial title basis (given it's all on the same acreage)? If yes, would max loan eligibility be capped at 85%?

On the flip-side, say it was my 4th residential property, would I still be subjected to the 70% LTV ruling if Icon City is based on commercial title?

If I am not wrong, both the 2 residence towers are residential under the Housing Development Act hence subject to 70% LTV rule...

It is not only depend on the commercial title of the land. A serviced apartment or a SOHO can be on a commercial land but is residential...

@jucl and CMW123,

Thanks for the update. I've always been blurred by the soho concept of "office + residence" and whether it is bounded within the "residential" property purchase limitations.

Oh well, better save up on more bullets before aiming. =p

Correct.

A STUDIO and CONDOMINIUM project is build on a piece of Residential Land. There is no service apartment on top of a Residential Land.
A SOHO and SERVICE APARTMENT project is build on a piece of Commercial Land. There is no condominium built on top of a commercial land.

It's not based on Commercial Title, but it's based on the project whether it is come with the protected HDA Act ruling or without HDA Act ( commercial properties are all without HDA Act )

For SOHO under HDA Act ( ex. You City, You One, Da Men, ) it would be treated as residential loan guideline and hit LTV 70% if > 2 home loans.

For SOHO without HDA Act, most of the banks would follow above guideline as required by BNM. I not sure which banks still allow up to 85% or 90% for Non HDA SOHO.

I did shared above in another thread before, but due to some members do not fully understand me, do not understand what they replied about and simply laughed me off confusing around because they heard this and heard that, self proclaimed got 7 properties and etc, therefore I lazy to reply on that thread bcz time wasting.
