tall, 41 storey.
spacious, average 2200sf..
not sure about psf price.

build and sell development.

FREEHOLD!!

wahh dat first pic stolen from me wan hahaha... no prob lah!

yea! cant find it anywhere else and there is no such topic yet in this forum.
property location is excellent except from the high tension lines nearby.

seems like a great location.

yes, great location for own stay. seems like people still very much prefer five stones, SS2 than this.

psf won't be 400psf ... too cheap for that location imo..

photo taken 2 mths bck

long long time ago, rumored to be 300psf.

if 2200sf unit @ RM500psf = RM1.1 million. another million ringgit castle in the sky.

is it this located at the back of One utama?

the road which link bandar utama to damansara mutiara?

yes, you could access from KBU, one utama new wing, or turn right after the tunnel in Curve/Ikano.
cant miss the building as it is so tall!

Thanks. im always passby there, yet i dun know the project name.

41 storey Developer gonna makes tons of money.

yea, lets just assume fully sold @ average RM1 million.
that is already close to 1 billion ringgit there ! (911 units)

launch alrd? when start sell. this place can grab

911 units?
oh my!

how much is the estimated rent eh?

I believe RM2500 and above. rental yield will be low if really @ RM500 and above psf price.
with so many units there you need to be incredibly lucky to rent it out unless majority are for own stay purpose.

also, the original Bukit Utama condo, occupancy rate is not that high if I am not mistaken? anyone could verify?

IMHO, the project can't sell too expensive because:
1. average built-up is big meaning affordability is an issue
2. too high density. if u can afford rm1mil price tag, do you want to cramp with another 910 other fellas?

even if starting at rm400psf would be hovering at rm880k for cheapest unit. at rm880k, you have many choices for landed homes within BU itself. just check iproperty yourself.
and from what i'd heard, their facilities is co-joining with the club (meaning public can access the facilities vide the club membership).
sigh! seehoy should have divied the lot and plan out 2 or even 3 developments there resulting in lower density and also staggered launching to escalate the prices phase by phase.
anyway, that's just my 0.0000002 cents worth!

..plus it is not ideal for investment since it is built-n-sell...those who wanted to stay would have already gotten a unit for their own (900+ units! gosh) so secondary market push won't happen that soon.

location is excellent, but looking at that density i would agree i wud rather spend a Mil looking elsewhere..

Just came back from there. Starts from 1.1 mil.

yea agree with kochin. very high density.rental wise not much ppl cant afford this kind of size.

another area so jam and congested. high density. i think only the younger generations like it

Start from rm1.1mil. This must be a new benchmark for large units of condo in BU. A few years ago this could buy at least a semiD.

but the pricing not a normal youngster cud afford.
rm1.5mil +
faint

U can say that again. What a price? This will drive the market faster to a correction I guess.

so do you believe when the correction comes, this will sell below developer's price?

One of the factor to cause market correction is the price have to breach the level where the demand cannot cope thus causing an inflection to the prices to meet new lower support level. A single project cannot cause a major correction but this will provide new benchmark prices for other developers to follow. Today the benchmark prices break new highs in almost every new launch and location. When there is an avalanche of developers pushing up prices and supplies, it will surely meet that one day. Correction can also be caused by other factors such as change in the government regulations, tax structures, banking facilities and others. When will this happen is anyone's guess.

Whether Bukit Utama will sell below developer's price should there be a correction depends on the sub-sale market as SHC have the holding power on all their properties. So the shakers (weak investors or owners) may have to let go lower if the demand start to fizzle out.

I think the condo type property will be a down market soon due to over supply...

if 880k or 1.1m, better buy landed property...

i think the price there is jz incredibly high
but landed property (semi D or banglo worth at least rm2 mil above at peak areas

siggghhhhh

Announcement:

The Budget 2011 announced a new Damansara-Petaling Jaya Highway.

The expressway is expected to start from Bandar Utama Damansara to Kelana Jaya.

Bandar Utama home prices will skyrocket......................

Im gone faint!!! The price is already skyrocket high, even for a condo its already reaching 450K~ for less then 1K sq-ft.. Even this condo is already so expensive, for such a high density plc!!!

exactly where and how will the highway be built? I dont see any suitable location for a highway connecting these 2 places??
is this going to be a total fly over highway?

staying there is all millionaires and do becareful of robbery in future and security there. one word buy only when a person can afford it or better buy a few properties rather than one so expensive. diversify yr investment or else will tight down for life or regret later on.

if dont calculate properly, later will eat porridge/bread/maggie mee everday just to maintain the property. alot of hidden cost

invest in other things better to make $$ rather than burden yrself for life. even have more $$ also dont lock yrself down

alot of bankers there waiting to give loans, waiting for customers as seen. even 10% deposit can be paid by creditcard. very desperate

errr..mind to share the link for our 'viewing' pressure..have not heard of this in any of the news media or maybe my cocked eyes? tks.

Yup, given the fact that the condos in Damansara Perdana can't finished selling even till now. HUGE number of units oversupply in Mont Kiara. It's just a matter of how long more can the speculators hold. These speculators consist of properties agents, rich man, and some average aunties uncles. No surprise that we've hearing these ppl saying Klang Valley no land already, must buy fast.....etc. Aih yo... they should go out walk walk and will see more empty lands.

Now, we probably have enough condos supply for the next 3-4 years need. When the Bank Negara says the properties price is 50% overvalue, they are not joking. Of course, many times u will hear the speculators say, they don't care coz they only targeting foreigners. Ya right, with the global economy slowdown, u really think the foreign companies can still afford to send more ppl out traveling?

When r they bursting? I say when the tens of thousands of condos units in Mont Kiara complete in the next few months, and the properties agents still cannot cash out. We should see more action.

+1, U gt a point there ... Its looks like its juz matter of time.. But the current condo(some) price's in Mont Kiara seems to be more stable n the price is nt being jacked up too much compared to PJ condo's especially this 1..

New condos (large unit > 1800sf) cost more than 700psf in MK area....while this BU9 is much less (still very high for some ppl like me!). So, both r overpriced!

I was told by Eric Yong that the highway will start somewhere near 1U or TV3 Bandar Utama going through Kayu Ara then reaching somewhere near The Paradigm Kelana Jaya.

Based on Wikimapia, the route seems very clear and unblocked if it goes through the former Kampung Kayu Ara. And btw, Litrak is apparently building a new UNDERPASS TUNNEL at the TTDI-Bandar Utama Interchange (below the newly opened ramp). Anyone can confirm this??

Later I was told another Highway - the Guthrie-Damansara Expressway may also connect to this Damansara-PJ Highway.

LDP itself is planning to see several more ramps here n there. Actually I was thinking of the Jalan Damansara road from Glomac Damansara bypassing Tropicana City straight on to Five Stones SS2 and an overhead bridge over Rothmans (BAT/Sin Chew).

Gonna be super jammmmmmmmmm when construction starts.

Guthrie highway will connect give Cahaya SPK & Denai Alam access to Kota Damansara via the subang access (subang kampung area)...

another landmark for BU

actually hor, RM1mil condo, it is really hard to swallow lor
and the design is so 'behind'

unless it is in the heart of KL
other wise no go

when is the targeted completion date for the highway? really going to be super jam!!! (already super jam now)

I am not sure about the interior but the building exterior looks ugly. Also I see some purple paint. PURPLE??? why??

not worth for the money
looks so lousy
like those sunway ridzuan that type...
failure!

But since its currently "BBB" mode, i still tink all the units wil b grabbed somehow...

Not a good deal. Moreover, developer (SHC) reserved all the choice units e.g. Facing bu houses and klcc.
Last I heard, only 40% sold that's why they put up huge banners on the condo site, sales office and even ads in newspapers. Never seen SHC ads in papers before. They only do it to advertised '100% sold in a few hours' in the past.

Good location but wrong products. They should have built size in the range of 1000-1400 sqft. Some more >900 units with 2200 sqft.

Somehow a bit congested looking for a million dollar condo. Like a lancer but looks like an inspira. Money well spent?

totally agreed that they screwed up this project themselves. location was superb. they should have sub-divided the land into smaller parcels and planned for phased development differentiating each parcel.
they can't seriously be expecting 900+ millionaires to be 'cramped' together in 1 single development? look at mont' kiara, even though within same vicinity, sunrise have multiple products offering with individual 'styling'. that's what SHC should have done.
another big factor was the 70% LVR. it could not have had a worse possible timing to them.
but in the end, serves them right for deliveeing the absolute wrong product at the right location!

PS: anybody know what is brewing opposite this development? the shape is rather squarish but what puzzled me was the close proximity between the buildings. looks like bungalow with only <5 feet space between the units?

This post has been edited by kochin: Nov 18 2010, 09:13 AM

shc lazy lar...they think their brand name dem good....
and in BBB era anything sells...

It's open now right. Yesterday I pass by the road and see the main entrance already open?

but how are the actual confirmed sales and take-up rate?
% by block and % by whole development?

the sales person said 80% of Block A sold. only the units facing west and the adjacent blocks left.
they will offer some discounts for those units.

Those are the RM2+ million bungalows (or was it semi-D) from SHC

I dont think you will get high rental.

Rm4.5k max

are the 3 towers fully sold yet? pass by those buildings recently at night and i can see a few occupied units.
must be damn eerie staying in a mostly vacant building.

Launching Block C this weekend. The other two blocks completely sold? Wonder what is their pricing going to be like for this new block launch.

I went to see the sales gallery a few weeks after it first launched. Sales lady kept telling me only few low-level units left. I just kept looking and said I was looking for high floor units only. Suddenly, she said that she suddenly remembered a high-floor unit might have become available, and she went away to confirm. Then she came back and offered me a high-unit facing the direction I wanted.

Just made me wonder if they really sold that many units, or they just say that to see if people would buy up the low-level units that are not so popular.

WOW, Malaysian are getting richer and richer

Heard see hoy chan offer 90 percent loan for this project
how it works.
they lend u extra 20%?

All the best lah SHC.

Monkey business closing road in front of Sony so can sell more 'super' condo?

Whatever goes around comes around.

the road is not closed, just became one-way.
bad thing about this road is that you wont know there is a jam inside until you are trapped and no way of escaping.

back to 9BU, i do see some lights at night..i believe these are units occupied by the owner himself.
this condo is not projecting the high class feel at all. looks eerie and depressing at night.

Hope it's not too late for me to ask question here... my overall question is:

Is this condo nice? I mean, is the price really gives what you should get? I mean the living environment quality is superb? High rise just makes me think of flats and apartments.... hmmm... any advice for me to buy this one? Not for invest, buy to live, at least at this moment.

Thank you very much and appreciate for ur advices, thanks!

got this budget go buy landed in bu la..or even semi-d sum where further

this high rise crap must avoid

from the lights I see at night, occupancy rate is still low.
Is the project even fully sold out yet? any info on this?

I am actually quite keen on the very small land area bungalows opposite 9 bukit utama.
any indicative build up size and selling price yet ha?

little birdie say min rm4mil.

How's this condo selling? Each time I passed by going to Giza or Giant, it looks so empty to me ..

The layout is lousy for the price u pay.

The interior wall aren't brick, it's like plywood & partition. Adjacent room can 'hear' what's happening next door.

The 3 blocks are in a 'C' shaped layout, so the side facing the swimming pool, view aren't good.

With 3 blocks of 'millionaire', god knows how the neighbourhood's like.

they have 4 kind of view:
-facing The Club@Bukit Utama
- facing Kota Damansara
-facing the swimmig pool
-facing Mutiara Damansara/ KL

been to their showhouse, wasn't so bad imo, but agree with scorgio that who knows what your neighbour will be like? rich bastards or anti-social millionare? haha

"anti-social millionare"?

Until now still selling..
Many units left?

[attachmentid=2940468][attachmentid=2940469][attachmentid=2940471][attachmentid=2940474]Visited a friend in 9 Bukit Utama. His condo faced Tropicana/Shah Alam in the evening. Happen to see the sunset at about 7.00 pm. It was one of the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. No need to go to Bali or Seaside to see sunset.

Beside 9 bukit utama that is some construction on going, any idea what development ?

wow great scene! your friend is on Block A,B or C?

This post has been edited by vDooZeus: Jul 13 2012, 02:34 PM

Ohh.. you also can get this view from my RM3Xx,XXX.XX condo.. no need to go bali..

The per sq ft price not moved since it launched in 2010. It's still RM525 per sq ft in the email I just received about Block Ceta. That was also the price when it launched 2010.

Sunset View? Must be facing west then. I always avoid this.

i also received sms for invite to their sat buffeet and feng shui talk

very obvious they are struggling to sell even they ride on bu's location and name

my uncle bought glomac residences, just opposite in mutiara damansara.

smaller size, but much more expensive price per square feet - i think he paid like 750k for a 1100sqft unit.

And he told me lucky he bought fast coz that time he bought, very few units left.

So, even location is good, name is strong, not any product can sell - maybe SHC has learnt their lesson after this project

This post has been edited by HouLanSaiLei: Jul 13 2012, 05:45 PM

main reason not selling due to build and sell concept.
it would have sold out long time ago if sell and built with DIBS scheme.

when you get inside the block (the first one they launched), ie. lifts area., you will agree that it looks cheapo and doesn't worth a Million...

Honestly this project is a clear failure.

The units are expensive >1million while the density is so damn high at 991 units. I mean if I pay a million dollars for a "luxury condo", will i want to be "sardined" with 991 other families? Obviously not right? Might as well get a landed property with more space and privacy + own garden/backyard.

The developers and designers obviously never use their head to think! Either that or they are too greedy, thinking there are many waterfish around!

I believe people who buy the units are those who look to flip after a few years, which i think it will also be a failure since the market prices are already much ahead of their landed counter part.

So nobody wants to buy this project and they are still advertising it.

all unit are at least 2200 sqft and above. If they build 1500sqft unit, there might be more affordable buyer.

I live in BU6. YES, they built then sell , looks like cash rich, BUT quality and workmanship sucks, a vacant new unit can banjir kaokao at the 3rd floor balcony and affect the second flor ceiling all black black moist moist!!...makes me think that dont have a BIG head then dont handle such a big project by cheapo material...

My unit in damansara perdana also facing this view..

[attachmentid=2957511][attachmentid=2957510][attachmentid=2957509][attachmentid=2957504][attachmentid=2957502][attachmentid=2957500]Beautiful sunset at 9 Bukit Utama on 20-7-2012.

They are targeting at home own stayer not flipper/speculators...hehe

Even home buyer also want their property to appreciate though one may not have intention to flip...hehe
Anyway i feel if the developer is a reputable one, built and sell concept doesnt really work as they already built in the future pricing since chances of them abandoning the project is slim.

Developer still trying to sell this project. Seems that only 60% sold

Is it is build then sell house??

Build then sell, I believe occupancy rate is still very low especially so for block B and C.
Developer units still available and large billboard set up to promote this development. SHC built this condo for the very long run.

This project is doomed to fail lar. At least in the near term. For that kinda money, I can buy a gated and guarded semi-D. Why should i compromise on privacy? I mean the target market for these kinda living is usually mid-high ranking managers who has family. I don't suppose a 20-30 year old single person can actually afford this kinda unit, right. or at least not many can.

Price is from RM1.4mil now if i am not mistaken. Waiting for cheap sales many waiting to parang.

Pls pls let shc fail or else we will see more fugly building with sky high price!!

suddenly this reminds me of south quay's condos liao.

Buy this better buy the other nearby bukit utama condo which is also from shc..

?? Nautical occpancy getting close to 70% lah...mana sama and yes many chic too

For own stay, can someone share some views as to which is better, 9 Bukit Utama condo or 5 Stones ss2 (to be completed soon).

Thank you.
