Investing in property (especially for new project) involve some risks, risk of uncertainty, no one can tell what would the final result. However as an home buyer or investor, the more research we do, the clearer the pictures is, the chances of making mistake is minimized.
Unlike stock mkt, real estate in trading "Tangible" products, so long the location is ease of "accessible", and no matter how bad is the economy, if you can hold on to certain period, you will be able redeem back yr investment.
Bout the JJ proposal, seems like nothing concrete yet, but I alwiz think like this, if JJ is not coming, and imagine if you are the land owner who owns the 21 acres of land (where the LRT station and the car parks sitting on), what would you do with the remaining 70% of the empty land? Next to KESAS...
just for reference, The entire Mid Valley cities (Mid Valley, Hotels, The Garden, Office Block, Apts, roads  etc) occupying 50 acres of land only, so 21 acres is in fact very very big, some more with the futures supply of new condos amounting to 8000 units in vicinity areas, this area will be packed with average middle to high income consumer group.
If the land owner do not take the advantage of positioning themselves into this growing mkt, then he/she must be gila aleli.. proposing something like JJ / Mall is definitely a right move...not likely build terrace hses (low profit), not likely to build condos (oversupply), shops (possible but no concept)
The best for this land is to build something like SV or Sunway Giza type of Complex, be positive towards the future of BJ, land is scarce

i always like to read yr analysis post so much bro
logical, reasonable and supported by fact & research data

salute u

For condo density, I use 2 indicators to decide :
1. How many condos built on 1 acre of land
2. How many condo / apt per lift

Anything below 200 units per acre I will consider low density
Anything below 70 condos/lift (in one block0 I will consider low density

bro ufo

quote yr statement
the statement 2 not reli understand...
can u elaborate  wat "70 condos/lift in one block0" mean?

Look at The Z Residence, Block A 335 units (3 lifts), average 112 units / lift. average

The Treez - 135 units / block = 3 lift (+1 lift for loading goods), average 45 units / lift

the lower the better, maintenance will be lower as well

taikor, i think ur statement the other way right ... shud be "yr statement is maybe for an investor, but not for a home seeker" ?
else I cannot think of the logic le ..

Bro, notice that you always harp on the same old things. Property expensive la .. access not there la .. you cant expect gov to spoon feed you with good property to your lap right? Gotta take some risk too.

Lets put it this way, its no access in place yet else it would be BJ price.

well.. today i went to spoke to the SA again and got to know one of the proposed link is actually build by trinity group themselves.. +1 point for this..

u have not seriously look into property investment, dats y u dun understand the simple logic. suggest u to take out yr calculator and review back one propery history, then press yr calculator to look for investment opportunity. u can roughly know wats the different between new n old development in investment.

If the investor cant sell he becomes the stayer, if the stayer gets a good price he becomes an investor
