hi accetera. kinrara residence is the new name for bandar damai utama? bcos I'm staying there now. saw all this flyers saying Premier Lifestyle Kinrara.

which phase is this launch? bcos the current phase which was launched last few mth has been almost sold out.

can provide more info pls. tq

This thread refers to the yet-to-be-launched Kinrara Residence gated community of superlink and luxury homes by Mah Sing Group. Kindly visit their website.

The company bought the now vacant land (about 126 acres) just last month - July 2010.

Phase 1 will be launched as early as Sept 2010. I think the address will be under Bandar Kinrara.

Salesperson said location will be near I&P's Kinrara projects and the Kinrara Golf Club as well as a forest reserve.

600k and above my god .. wonder how an average earner can afford that

Thats y its not for average earners ...

Looking at the pricing and trend, I think nowadays average earners only have the options of either live in the sky, or look for subsale landed, or live in outskirt...

Or rent a room. RM200-RM450.

well i was lucky to bought a unit in the kinrara residence for about 3xxk in january 2010. now is going up close to 450-480k. and still being sold like hot cakes. think bcos too many demand and also ppl grabbing the units at launching price for investments. alot of house units there are empty bcos the owners are holding to the house to wait for price to go up further. they said no rush, wait few month can earn more tens of thousand

well didnt expect mah sing group of companies to come over here and build houses. guess it was right choice to buy a house there

Kinrara Residence =/= taman damai utama....

wat does this means =/=?

Mah Sing enters JV in Kinrara
Mah Sing via its wholly-owned subsidiary Grand Prestige Development Sdn Bhd recently signed a joint-venture agreement with Mahajaya Berhad's subsidiary Medan Damai Sdn Bhd for the development of approximately 13.2 acres of land in Kinrara. As the developer, Mah Sing intends to rebrand the on-going mixed development known as Taman Damai Utama into a Residence Development boasting lush greenery and trend-setting layouts in a gated and guarded environment.

The land, owned by Medan Damai is a matured development with more than 600 units of 2 and 2 ½ storey terrace houses already sold and handed over. The commercial portion comprising more than 100 units of terrace shop and offices are also fully sold except for the bumiputra units. "This is an opportune joint venture for Mah Sing to replicate our success in Perdana Residence 2 in Selayang and Garden Residence in Cyberjaya where we saw very good sales due to the good location, strong concept and value proposition backed by our Mah Sing brand," said Mah Sing Group Berhad's Group Managing Director cum Group Chief Executive Tan Sri Dato' Sri Leong Hoy Kum. Launched in April 2010, 53 units of the 180 units of terrace houses have been sold to date. The land has a gross development value of RM100 million.

DU1 DU2 and DU3 still remain under Taman Damai Utama, shoplots and also low cost apartment will also be developed under Mahajaya.

Any clue what is the selling price for the superlinks house as mentioned in Mah Sing website?

damai utama the quality cant make it wo..

That's why Mah Sing grab the opportunity to JV and take over the project.

for the price and the size. tai hoi tit la

can always buy the WZR units or Hening units further down the road. but those are 650k -800k. i previously dislike the workmanship of DU, but for the money its ok.

furthermore with ayer hitam reserve forrest at the back. Quiet and cooling place.

it is. every morning or after rain, u'll see mist in front of the houses

but dunno how long the reserve will stay as reserve

Air Hitam Forest Reserve hillslope to remain intact

THE Selangor state government has no plans to develop the hillslope in Air Hitam Forest Reserve in Puchong as claimed by certain quarters.

Senior executive councillor Teresa Kok said it was not true that the state government had by-passed the residents and given the go ahead for the hillslope in the forest reserve to be developed.

She was speaking at a press conference after meeting residents of Bayan Hill Homes at Bandar Puchong Jaya who had expressed concern about claims that the hillslope would be developed.

The meeting was also attended by a few councillors from the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) and residents association representatives.
Green backdrop: The area near the Air Hitam forest reserve has many condominium blocks. Taman Wawasan is in the foreground.

“It is all done in bad taste. There was never any attempt to develop the Air Hitam Forest Reserve,” said Teresa, who is the assemblyman for Kinrara.

Teresa said certain quarters were poisoning the minds of the residents that the hillslope in Air Hitam would be developed and that the public now had no access to the area.

There are claims that the orang asli communities living there were also threatened.

“We refute all these claims. In January the state government gave the residents of Puchong a New Year gift in the form of a promise not to develop the Air Hitam Forest Reserve,” said Teresa.

“It is the state government’s decision not to develop the forest rich in flora and fauna. The two former MPSJ councillors are irresponsibe and spreading rumours and causing fear among Puchong residents,” said Teresa.

She said a committee had fixed a briefing on July 23 to provide details on the “hill slope development” to residents of Puchong Jaya and surrounding areas.

It will be held at the Sutramas Condo in Puchong.

The forest reserve was originally 4,270ha and there have been multiple excision between 1964 and 2006, totalling 2,963.5ha.

As of February last year, 1,217ha had been gazetted by the Selangor government as an education and research forest and under the jurisdiction of the Selangor Forestry Departent. The forest is on a 80-year lease from 1996 to Universiti Putra Malaysia.

In the New Year celebrations this year in Puchong, Selangor Tourism, Consumer and Environment committee chairman Elizabeth Wong announced the state’s decision to abort the proposed cemetery project in the forest reserve.

Since April 2004, the residents had been fighting for the project to be scrapped so that the forest would remain a green lung.

So far the forest reserve is declared as 'Hutan Kekal' by the current Selangor gov but if happen that other parties rule then.....???

If for investment with $$ just buy, surely can get good return !!!

ya hor... later if BN win back the seat then they may declare their own ruling in 'developing' the reserved forrest.

Any idea whether there is any show unit other than the ex-mahajaya one?

For now it's still in the planning stage & no actual show unit available, anyway just register to buy 1st if got $$ coz location wise, it's much better than I&P one just next to main road, very small G&G area with little landscape but plus point is freehold versus leasehold.

very tempted but $$$ issue...
wonder how to afford a landed property these days...

I&P only guarded, not gated.
Leasehold is the one make me worry, but if own stay, not an issue.

But i guess if selling off in next 10 years, LH still ok...

With the price tag of RM600K, what you all think of the possibility of this property value to appreciate to once completed?

to a million plus... landed property is scarce... wat more is a gated one.... backed by de so-called Mah Sing brand... hahaha

better buy bk9 or older kinrara freehold. value for money

Wow... let's register to become a millionaire.

and malaysian economy is doing so well, producing such huge amount of above average/extremely well off people.

willing seller willing buyer ma.
Look at I&P, all phases sell like hot cakes. Latest launch with RM700k++, sapu within hours. Don't even have a chance be invited for the launch. Sad...

So it's worth it for investment wise or own stay......older I&P houses looked dull & outdated.......

Price appreciation would expect to be better on this project althought it's LH.

DU property ok .. but when u go chck out the finishing .. really shitty..no offense to owners but u see the finishing oso like

can we expect another iconic design/concept for these landed properties from Mah SIng??

why not... in my circle of frens, already half of them already earning 5 figures per month and we r all below 30.. mostly taukes..

I agree, finishing's crap. My wife got rid of hers a while ago.

However, those people that buy the houses to live in do not buy because of crap finishing - but because of the big build-up (24x70...I think).

Crap finishing can be fixed, but land area is fixed. As long as they can spend 50-100k on renovations I think the subsale will still be good.

Last I heard it was transacting at 420+ k...

i'm 22/23 and i'm ared into property ...HAHAHAhahaha

On brink of demolition, Bkt Jalil residents ready for battle
TUE, 03 AUG 2010 18:06
By B Nantha Kumar

KUALA LUMPUR: Come tomorrow, bulldozers are expected to rumble into the Bukit Jalil estate to tear down the houses there. But the residents will not back down and are gearing up for battle.

In their words, some 41 families are prepared to take “all possible action” to thwart the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) from bringing their roofs down.

Even the possibility of facing the wrath of the police's baton-charging Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) will not deter them from the standing their ground.

The final eviction order to the residents, dated July 20, ends at midnight.

“We are ready for the worst case scenario,” a resident, who declined to be named, told FMT. “This is going to be Barisan Nasional's version of Kampung Buah Pala.”

“Obviously before demolishing the houses, they will bring in the FRU and we are prepared for that as well," he added.

It is learnt that opposition party leaders and NGO representatives have also vowed to fight alongside the residents to protect their houses.

However, the resident said they will not be bearing weapons, but will instead arm themselves with banners and posters.

"We will also bring in backhoes to block the demolition. This is our home. There is no way anyone is going to demolish our houses without an alternate solution to this problem," he added.

There are also plans to disconnect the power supply because they fear “a sudden power surge” which can raze their houses.

“We have seen this happen before. Mysterious fires at squatters. We do not want a similar incident here. We will disconnect power from tonight,” said the resident.

'We are not squatters'

On June 8, the residents received a letter from DBKL stating that the city council will postpone the demolition.

It also stated that DBKL received orders from Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Deputy Minister M Saravanan that the next course of action will only be taken after a discussion between his ministry and the Human Resources Ministry.

Despite this, the residents were slapped with the final evacuation notice.

At a meeting with the residents yesterday, DBKL's deputy director (services) Amin Nordin Abdul Azai stood firm on the decision to evict the former Bukit Jalil estate workers, despite their appeal to postpone the deadline.

The residents were warned that demolition works can be carried out at any time after the deadline expires.

Contacted later, resident and Human Rights Party member K Balakrishnan said the contradictory letters from DBKL showed that the council is not willing to keep its word.

“Now, we have to move out by tomorrow. If we don't, it will not stop DBKL from demolishing our houses. But what about the promise made to us in the June 8 letter?” he asked.

"We are told that this land will be turned into a cemetary but we found out that the land has been sold to a prominent personality, who once served as a minister," he said.

Balakrishnan said that former estate workers should not be termed as squatters.

"We are not squatters. Squatters are illegal as they build houses on private or government land, but we were given houses built by a company with the full knowledge of the government,” he added.

Bukit Jalil is the last remaining estate in the capital. Parts of it were also taken over by the government for the Bukit Jalil sports complext project in 1998.

crazy

so what now

imagine if they were to launch 22x75 DST in Bandar Utama, the price tag 1.2 million

Crazy

lots of poor people who will not be able to own freehold landed property in prime areas, but take heart, there's still Rawang, Sg Buloh, Kundang, Seremban, Kajang, Bangi and if you wait a little longer, you might only able to afford Tg Malim, ipoh, Melaka etc.....

but lots of lucky rich fellas who buy and buy and sell and sell with RM 100-200K profits margin. The rich getting richer, money makes money

That's was my perception few years ago, RM400K for a DSL in Bandar Kinrara was expensive ! Wait for bubble burst, not happen and now pocket burst as going for the same size of build up easily cost RM200K more.

Children is growing up, pity them to stay in the tiny condo with such a limited moving space, RM600K also have to go this round, not going to repeat the same again.

haha. [B]pocket burst[

This post has been edited by airline: Aug 4 2010, 11:15 AM

dey say BUY now before its too late....... frankly ppl will grab any DSL these days as long as it is not too far away...

This post has been edited by accetera: Aug 4 2010, 11:19 AM

Condo maybe burst, not for landed.... as far as landed concern, still consider limited supply.. can see new launches nowadays are condos...

But for min price of rm600k it's quite steep for ordinary folks, thinking of getting DSL in Tmn Damai Utama instead even poor built quality, expecting return of 40% or more once the Kinrara Residence & LRT extension are complete in 3 years time.

OK, set ! WW2 Bomb under it also don't care already.
Anymore potential buyer without even look at the design or show unit?

Lowyat forumer who's inetersted pls inform coz we might get bulk purchase discount.....haha

u got lubang?? gladly if u hav any.. but my concern is will developer care to giv discount since this one will be another BBB mode and expected fully sold in 2 hours kinna thing ??

Sure our pocket will got lubang if BBB...

maybe pre-launch (rather pre-preview) discount?....

mine just got bigger by the days cham liao

Anyone here have experience with Mah Sing practise on newly launch project?
Say, interest free till handover/Preview discount/free S&P and Loan legal fee...

current owner here at DU. its worth it, area is cozy not crowded or congested. road access is ok. to think of it rm600k is quite alot jz thinking next door house are 300-400 initially

but yea house prices of landed property going up in a crazy way. if waited summore i think wont be able to afford one. better decide now.

someone was right, workmanship is on the rough side but the buildup is huge. even though its 22x75 but feels much bigger.



This post has been edited by zoomckng: Aug 5 2010, 05:33 PM

Might sharing what BBB means?
Am new in property terms...
thx

Any progress on the site recently?

I have registered myself in their webpage but I did not receive any acknowledgement email from them. I am wondering whether the registration was done properly or not? Anyone received acknowledgement email from them?

I registered but did not receive acknowledgement either.

progress is pretty good. phase 4 is up and running. not sure about the new phase. but u have trucks and excavators working from 6am - 6pm everyday leveling the hills area. ocassionally they will stop work bcos find new bombs

then police will come cordonned the are off for 24 hrs round the clock wait for detonation team come. then after blast, works continue

anymore available?

Got, register yourself first. Wait for Mah Sing to invite us for preview. Who knows we can also witness a WW2 bomb at there too...

Hmmm I am wondering whether the minimum price of 600K is true or not since Mah Sing group always launch landed properties more than 1 mil. Probably it is a leasehold project. I think this project will snap up like hot cakes during the launching date.

Called them before and being informed that the indicative pricing for 2 storey = RM600K and 2.5 storey = RM700K. Hopefully this is true, else have to look some where else already.

In their website, they mentioned secured and guarded, is secured=gated?

Would like to share my personal experience with mah sing. On the 1st day of preview of garden residence in cyberjaya, I was there with my wife to look see look see. We arrived at the preview hall at 10.30 am and was impressed with the house. A sales person recommended 3 storey semi-D to us and told us got 2 good units left and price at RM900,000.00 but need to decide fast coz is selling fast and that we need to pay RM30,000.00 deposit. By 10.50am, we are at booking counter and staff photostated our ic, completed the purchase form & cheque for RM30,000.00 issued. Staff give us a file with all kits for buyer in it and ask us to proceed to payment counter and wait for our receipt. Waited for 5 minutes and they said not selling to us at RM900,000.00 but RM950,000.00. New instruction from management according to the payment counter staff. How?? we call the sales person who served us and he took us the price list in the file and in shown RM900,000.00. Then supervisor came out and said sorry sir due to overwhelming respond the top management decided to increase to RM950,000.00 and told me RM50,000.00 is small money ma...haha...what u guys think?? they not gentlement developer or i not lucky?? i think i not lucky kwa...haha..just sharing

Sounds like a dirty trick to me
I hope you walked away from the deal..

Does the selling price need to be approved by the authority? Usually, in their advertisement, they will also state the selling price. If they change the price, is that misleading? And changing selling after the property being "sold" is not ethical.

i heard some developers do practise hiking up the price if the response is overwhelming.....

despite being very unethical, i'm not sure, but i think there is no law that says they couldn't do it.... welcome to BolehLand.

adverts only show the price range, but not specific price right... some u can see price range from 500k to 2 mil punya.. a wide range developer can play with... and the pharse "Starting from xxxK" can mean any price beyond lo.... not illegal... just a matter of catching waterfishes...

So unbelievable MS as a reputable developer can do this, scary

yeah.... seriously, this is rare encounter....

But I will blame it on consumer, all in BBB mode! Last weekend it was overwhelming response to Garden Residence Cyberjaya and not sure about the response for new phase of Hijaun Residence this weekend. The developer will just take advantage on the consumer if all this water fish keep swim in to their net!

How la?? I need a new DSL which is affordable. Well, I would say RM600K for KR is reasonable now by looking at other launches recently.

Decide... Decide... Decide...

I believe 600K is for bumi. Non bumi like me will most likely have to fork out around 700K++ for a leasehold property. Will need to see the finishing, concept and environment whether it worth that much or not.

My experience with starting price, usually developer will tell you starting from 600K+, but during launching, price become 700K+...

Seen too much this kind of example.. eg. SW, SG, JH, etc etc....

wow have to pay 700k++ for a leasehold props

If this is the case, I'm out! Really can't afford landed property nowadays. Might as well put a exorbitant price to make KR become the highest premium residential in Kinrara. Good job MS!

KR will definately sold at premium price due to its G&G (or just single G) concept and claiming as luxury homes, despite being a leasehold development.. looking at current I&P recent launch on their terrace which is >700k.... MS would not want to lose out the opportunity to "parang" those perchasers..

well its the going market rate. almost all the new houses in that area would be 500-600k and above. and thats now, imagine few yrs down the road

few yrs down the road, when all the high ends are completed and if supply cant be fulfilled by the demand.. thats it.... i doubt it will dip, maybe soften... good luck to speculators....

This post has been edited by eugene jk: Aug 8 2010, 11:33 PM

everyone's talking about buying properties now especially LANDED....

i hear Buy Buy Buy, but to me it sounded like Speculate Speculate Speculate like Char Kway Teow.....

On a positive note, as land becomes scarce with increasing urban population and an increasing youth and young adult working class (Malaysia's population is one of the youngest), property prices will tend to shoot up until no more land in strategic established areas, and then skyrocket after no more land.

Even some already migrated Malaysian Chinese already overseas are looking around at Malaysian properties.

Besides general inflation, developers may think Malaysian property prices are dirt cheap compare to elsewhere. Same thinking goes if foreigners from Singapore, Iran and HK would to come in freely.

Too much of property talks, seminars, fair, books, news and publicity...

More and more ppl are aware of property investment and jump into the wagon even though already having a roof above their head.

Tiba-tiba few frens told me they went to so and so's prop seminar, and some bought bungalow and semi-Ds to goreng-goreng, tambah sambal, sotong, sayur...

well i feel the pain of ppl who jz wans get a house to live in. few of my frens also are caught in this situation. too many buyers out there buying for re-investments. jz plain too many. which kinda explains the fast growing props market at the moment

Let's Buy Buy Buy, and wait for it to burst !!

This post has been edited by brainworker: Aug 9 2010, 02:45 PM

sorry guys, what BBB means?
Thx...

in today's news: REHDA says there's shortage of homes and homes could increase in prices by another 10-20% in the next 6 months alone!!!..... LOL

This post has been edited by accetera: Aug 9 2010, 09:18 PM

Home vs house...

Home is for own stay, is where one seek shelter and belonging...

House - can be home, but also can be goreng goreng

So how many houses are really called home??

haha u absolutely know wats goin on..

I got a house and looking for a home now...

me too....a home at good location in Bdr Kinrara...Kinrara Residence ?

No own home yet... Still parent's home

Let's do bulk purchase then, dunno can get the invitation letter from them or not? Hopefully don't repeat the same again as I&P launch.

just buy it now. dont wait anymore, if wait longer, price will go up even higher

I oso think the same as zoomckng. Bandar Kinrara very good place to stay!! Buy fast if u wanna for stay.

when is the launching date?

This post has been edited by sandy072282: Aug 11 2010, 03:57 PM

Should be next month as I saw in the report stated Q3 2010. Register first and wait la.

Puchong is super hot now..Very good time to buy!

wa... Sounds like promoter only... You think buy vege in market meh? RM600K wor.

Me.. tooo young and tooo poor to buy home yet (for stay)... apatah lagi buy house (for goreng).....

some uncle aunties tell me Puchong is gonna be better than Damansara PJ???
i stay in Dsara PJ but i dont think so leh....

Actually a lot of developments in Puchong now, keep developing upwards until the Cyberjaya side. Puchong in my opinion is quite hot as many people are choosing to stay there. Amenities and location are decent, and its less noisy/jam than place like USJ or Dsara..

Thats my 2 cents

Personally, I always treat Bandar Kinrara and Puchong as two separated place. Puchong is way too busy for me, the complexity of the flyovers along LDP made me confuse. While Bandar Kinrara towards Bukit Jalil is straightforward. Again, it depends on individual.

haha...bro, dun tink i can agree with the statement of urs although i'm vested in puchong too! but yea, agreed that u can find everything u want here, especially the tons of makan joints all over

This post has been edited by babana: Aug 12 2010, 10:28 AM

smart boys

he means those that are ready to buy houses la. even though its 600k, its a decent value for now. considering the price it will be in few yrs time later.

well its the potential and growth of the area that is driving the value higher. meaning the area is coming up. how can we compare dsara, PJ with puchong? u make money bcos there is movement. if there is no movement, the growth is at a minimum.

even if you are young u can start to plan to own a house later, esp with knowledge how fast/tough the market is going to be.

anyway with LDP, u can connect puchong areas to PJ areas easily. another reason also why the growth is high.

This post has been edited by zoomckng: Aug 12 2010, 03:00 PM

so this is the TMS you were talking about last night
Well Puchong is in the middle and unless they do some planning for the development it will only gets worse traffic wise

lol puchong less noise?

i'm registered and cant wait for the launching! hehe!
but i am actually having second thought, to go for MS's LH at 600-700k or the I&P ones at the same price but FH... wat do u guys think?

hi, I'm from maybank, as we know that these project gonna launch soon, so I am here to promote our latest package:

fixed rate 4.5(1st 3 yrs), thereafter BLR-2.?%,
finance up to 90%
