As I said earlier, tis developer very calculative, for Mahajaya buyer (whether upgrade or not), they are not making any profit. If I am Mahajaya buyer, I'm very ok, no matter how low quality TMS provided, shd be still better than Mahajaya.
Kinrara house only - Qaseh, Emerald, Sapphire, Desiran and Sentosa are very good quality and workmanship, the rest BK9, Melodi also so so only

Unlike Garden Residence, TMS pay very high premium to take over fr Mahajaya, if not mistaken 178 mil. KR's location is very strategic, Mahajaya can easily sell off themselves even though they build low quality hse (with lower price ma), MJ has factor the land cost + the future nett gain into the selling package (to TMS).

2-storey 718K-728K, 2 1/2 storey - 818K (without conquas), not worth it!!

Correct, Bdr Kinrara & USJ Heights freehold some more, KR location is not better than Bdr Kinrara either, But why I&P losing out to TMS? I see many developers has changed to suit the mkt needs, except I&P...apart fr gd location, gd quality, freehold buyers want more..sense of security, lifestyle neighborhood, concept, modern facade, gd layout, all these elements are neglected by I&P, dun understand why? they can easily wins over TMS hands down

Willing buyer willing seller, I wouldn't blame TMS for providing low quality material provided that the price is reasonable (of course every buyer has different interpretation of reasonable price)
I remembered when I placed my booking for 3-storey Superlink, I asked for the specifications but failed to get, I knew I am going to face the uncertainty, later I was informed that I could cancel the deal with 1K forfeiture cost, I proceeded to sign the letter of offer.
The Semi-D buyer (early bird) also face the same scenario, placed deposit without knowing the spec...

I want to ask,
IF let's say TMS build the SD show hse 1st with same specs before official launching, the selling price is 1.32 mil, wat you guys predict, will it still a BBB mode?

The worst part is TMS refuse to accept my suggestion, let the Semi-Ds buyers to change the flooring and frames even though at purchase's expenses (during construction).
To remove the existing timber strip and replace with new flooring, remove + adding quality window frame (entire hse) will cost around 100K

My buyer has been offered 30K discount after she complaint. How much is the selling price?

Now I hv reason to doubt the TMS bungalow will be equipped with the same material with the Semi-Dss, tis time be careful ya

You are pointing the right issue, TMS create unnecessary waste.
I like China style, their new apartment are totally bare, no single tiles, all cement rendered, purchaser choose their own taste to renovate the house, jimat, we Malaysian like to "modify", really waste a lot, jialat!

Different house cater for different needs, no right or wrong. When I was young, I like condo, after married, landed 2-3 storey, when old, my dream is single storey bungalow facing the sea....

ipsec, which category are you in?

Kinrara Residence 4/4/2011

Bungalow Purchasers:
1)

Semi-D Three-Storey (Total : 120 units incd show units) - 69% sold
1)

Semi-D Double-Storey (Total : 144 units incd show units) - 51% sold
1) Covillea
2) driftmeister
3) eric er
4) cooolguy
5) comptechie1
6) liang7524

Link Three-Storey Purchasers (Total : 269 units incd show unit) - 59% sold
1) UFO-ET
2) frozen44
3) QW$$

Link Two-and-a-Half-Storey (Total : 67 units) - 100% sold:
1) krgia10

Link Double-Storey (Total : 113 units) - 100% sold:
1) pcteck19
2) mrkenjiro
3) alfredfx

I hope my calculation is right, he..he..
Apparently there will be 30% reserve for Bumi lot, I dun know how the development is dealing with this, when we booked the 3-storey Superlink in 2010, the SA told me that if depends on the sales of the each and every category, they can shift the 30% to any house, based on my findings,
2 & 2 1/2 storey is 180 units
3 stories is 269 units
2 & 3 storey SD is 264 units
Bungalows is 109 units (likely to change to Semi + bungalow)
Thus total is 822 units.
So 30% of 822 units is 247 units is supposed to reserved for Bumi lot, since 2 & 2 1/2 storey were fully sold, one of the SA told me that they will push all the Bumi lot tagged reserved in link hses,
Unsold 3-storey Superlink = 109 units
Unsold 2 & 3 sty SD = 101 units
Based on what the SA said earlier, they are likely to close the sales campaign as only left 210 units unsold (excluding bungalow). I confirmed with one SA yesterday & the answer is possible that).
Anyone know how these Bumi lot is going to be allocated and manipulated? I know many developers whom receive overwhelming response fr non-bumi buyers will eventually sell all the remaining Bumi units to non-bumi after 1 yr fr the launching date (by appealing to convert the unit fr local authority)

Added on April 5, 2011, 8:28 amTai Kor, fr the sales model chart, me too feel like bout 80% of Semi-Ds are sold coz at least 2&3 rows of it is still closed for public selection, and judging fr wat they alvailable for selling now, yes it reach 80% already. I think TMS is monitoring very closely the sales everyday, as I say almost no Bumi buyer for KR al all, m not surprise that they will announce in this coming Grand Opening KR this coming Saturday that all their units are fully sold, left on Bumi lot only, and those who is interested, has to queue for release of the Bumi lot later on...wat you think bro?

This project sure spark, very confident!!

2014 & 2015 is predicted to be a critical year in property mkt, we foresee a over supply of apt/condo which may give certain impact on the KV housing price, as at today, no indication of slow down in new launching for condo projects below than 500K, everywhere can see BBB still.

KR future's appreciation is very much deciated by a few factors :-
1. The success of the Taman itself, maintenance of the common facilities is crucial, DPC proved to be a success model
2. LRT - already kick starts in Taman Esplanad / OUG
3. Interchange to Bdr Bkt Jalil - Ho Hup Jalil City
4. The Link road joint to Putra Permai - pending for another development
5. The success of Puchong as CBD, I am monitoring a few indicators projects which may transform the image of Puchong. KR is riding on the success of the development in Puchong enclave.
a. Setia Walk
b. PFCC
c. Intellicity
d. The Wharf (??)
e. Mileania City (??)
f. Jalil City (Bkt Jalil ??)

Setia Walk Setia Walk
PFCC
The Wharf - Bolton
Mileania City - Millennium Land S/B - Hilton Hotel 100 acres mix development

Jalil City - Ho Hup Jalil City

Added on April 6, 2011, 12:20 pmThe very lucky thing for KR is that Bandar Kinrara dun provide G+G, anything more than 1 million mark, buyers will prefer tight security. Jalil Sutera in Bkt Jalil has been traded 1.2 million - intermediate 23x80 - 2 1/2 storey basic hse.

Added on April 6, 2011, 12:26 pmJust check with KR SA, they reserve bout 30 units Bumi lot in 2 & 2 1/2 storey link house.
The SA said under Selangor housing rules, all projects are required to reserve 50% for Bumi, developer is allowed to release those 50% stage by stage after official launching, they need to advertise the project in local Malay press 3 times.
1st release - 15% (to non-bumi) - after 3 times advertisement, no response fr the Bumi
2nd release - 10% (to non-bumi) - after 3 times advertisement, no response fr the Bumi
3rd release - 10% (to non-bumi) - after 3 times advertisement, no response fr the Bumi
The remaining 10%-15% Bumi lot has to be carried forward after the CCC, developer then allowed to sell to non-Bumi

Main competitors for KR Semi-D could be :

1. Lake Edge (YTL) - Puchong / leasehold G+G club house facilities
2. Sky Ville (IOI) - Puchong / freehold G+G
3. Kinrara Hills (New-Age Portfolio) - Bdr Kinrara / freehold G+G
4. Duta Kinrara (Pilot Group) - Bdr Kinrara / freehold / G+G + lift
5. One Jalil (magna Prima) - Bkt Jalil / freehold / F+G / Zero-Lot Bungalow
6. Oasis (I&P) - Bdr Kinrara / freehold / Golf view

Alam Sanctuary location, mmm... No comment

The further Puchong township, Putra Permai and Cyberjaya expanded, the more prosperous and flourishing that Bdr Kinrara and KR would be. Property value based on location are automatically accumulated in layer form, starts fr KLIA-Cyberjaya-Putra Permai Equine-Puchong-Bkt Jalil-Seputeh (Mid Valley)-KLCC (LCG)

anyway, 9/4/2011 nite is the grand opening, shall we hv a small gathering in the morning (at the club house), get to know each other (I was absent on Semi-D open house), any seconder?

TMS not steady la, as Top 10 elected developer, shd be generous a bit, people will say penny-pincherlah

Yalah kenot ask for more, TMS really put effort to bring the value, buta-buta 300K++ after CCC lor , I think Mahajaya purchasers shd belanja Mah Sing buyers another round of dinner in 5 star hotellah
