The facilities are good for low occupancy, if it is full, 172 units sharing facilities will be horrible. As for August 14, noticed some increase in occupancy. Seen foreigners including Chinese. The infinity pool looks big in picture, is already pack with 4 adults two kids (pretty shallow, may be 3.5 feet, good for children too), very basic gym equipments with track mill and weights will be pack with 10 adults, small jacuzzi pool will be good each with one or two persons, steamroom horrible without regular cleaning, lounge etc reasonable pay per use plus deposit. Even so, maintenance is a little slow. Many cctv to the facilities, but often find security missing from his position (don't blame him, boring job), and items wear and tear, missing yet to be replaced. Wonder how long can this sustain ?
Lobby impressive to see, but really stuffy down there without proper circulation, and mosquitoes in the evening, therefor no one will stay longer in more than he needs to snap some pictures.
Built-up of 1400sf onward should be spacious, but the layout design is really terrible... splits into many small rooms, and no bathtub, water pressure slightly lacking in lower floor. Feng Shui believer might be concern with balcony facing many ground breaking at a few directions. Direct entrance and exit to busy road is something to be overcome, plus the opposite apartment. Further is good with all these development.
The "green" make it name from the design, but it is not really a "green" building.
I hope you are on of the owner to provide such an insight but maybe a little inaccurate of your comment. Feedback is always good to make the condo better but here's mine.Lobby impressive to see, but really stuffy down there without proper circulation, and mosquitoes in the evening, therefor no one will stay longer in more than he needs to snap some pictures.

Facilities:
1. Pool - with 170+units I would say that the pool size is sufficient. People are sharing one Olympic size pool with 300+ units. As for the depth, a pool without life guard should not have 1.2m and above depth pool. Well the pool is usually empty during weekdays and only pack on weekends. I wouldn't pay higher management fees for bigger pool just for weekend high utilization. I'm happy with the size of the pool.
2. Gym room - if you compare our gym room with other condo with similar price tag, the size is consider reasonable with the number of tenant. Sorry to say if you go gym in any fitness center, the threadmill is always full, during peak hour and you have to wait for your turn, it's no difference here is just that it's not as crowded. They are using Life Fitness equipment a which is a good quality equipment. So I have no complaints and really appreciate it. Of course if they are adding more equipment a it will be good again, it depends on the maintenance fee they will be charging.
3. Cleaner - I see cleaner cleaning all areas everyday at least when I go to facilities areas or check my mailbox, I do see them around working on something. I found the lift and all area are well clean again I'm satisfied.
4. Security guards - they do patrol and they have been quite strict. The only complaint I have is that they never check with tenant if the visitor is legit when they want to drive in. This is the only point that I hope management will look into it.
The management is doing great and I see improvement everyday. Great job and keep it up!
House Quality:
1. Glass door and windows - during Reno, they accidentally broke my glass door at the balcony and it has to be replaced with a new one. I always thought its a tint glass and can be replaced easily but it's not, according to my contractor the glass is special made in factory and the glass has to mix with some other material that create the greenish color and he told me, so far, this is first condo that he see uses such a good quality glass. It usually uses on the offices or factories.
2. Bathroom - contractor told me that the tiles use my developer is good quality and don't need further renovation.
3. Layout - yes it's a little weird at first but I convert the so called reading room to a mini wet kitchen which is sufficient for me to cook for a small family. My living looks bigger now as the dry kitchen become my dining area.
4. Defect fixing - I must say the service that exsim is delivering is definitely one of the best! We see there's leaking on our toilet and we lodge a complaint to the management. They come to check immediately and fix it.
In summary, the house quality is really good and I only know how to appreciate it more during renovation. My ID also told me that the architect may work closely with ID during the design of the condo as the theme is so standout. From lift lobby up to your house gate. It's rare to see that in MY. Be more detail and you will appreciate more.
So far, I'm a happy family leaving at great condo, may not be the best but if you are picking fish bone from an egg, there will be 100things that you can complaint about. I glad I bought this condo over km1 which has almost the same price tag.
