Maybe SG & 288 can share some common facilities.... 

At least i knew 222 get swimming pool view from SG

Yes. I forgot that point too. They have to move fast because of the 288 project.

In my view, the PV developments are the best value in Setapak area - location and price wise - but even their latest projects have become expensive.

Sorry for not being clear. Let me explain myself.

1. PV (Setapak Lake City) location is better because it is a large development - Parkson, hospital and so on will be very near. Also TAR college means rental no problem. Strategic location because can exit to many areas - MRR2, Sri Rampai/Jelatek, Gombak and of course Setapak road. SG and 288 is in a very small area with one small road leading to Gombak Road.

2. PV used to offer better value per sq feet - Phase 1 and 2 buyers made a lot of money. Phase 3 will be ready next year and there are indications of at least 30% appreciation when completed.

3. But best of all - if you want to buy any Platinum Victory property now you can forget it. I just called the office and they told me that Phase 4, Phase 5 and their shops all sold out. They have nothing left to sell for now. 100% sold out means definitely got property value appreciation in the future.

4. As for UOA's SG - As far as I know - they took years before they could sell all the units in Prima Setapak 2 along Jalan Gombak. Why? Because the properties were so overpriced.

5. On the current SG project  - 13++ sq feet is around RM470 to RM 500K for those facing KLCC view. in my view, if there were still any PV uinits left I would have bought that. But all gone! So I will just wait until I see some other projects next time.

Just two points to make.
1. SG / 288 is closer to Jalan Pahang (and the city centre). No qustions about that. But if you live around here, you will want to go to facilities around here. On that score, PV is closer to the heart of everything. parkson, JJ, Wangsa Walk, Carrefour, food stalls, futsal courts, banks etc. Also, many alternatives mean that PV owners can get to city through Jelatek etc.

2. Prima Setapak 2 was overpriced when it was launched - very overpriced. At that time it was the most expensive property (per sq ft in Setapak.)

go up means appreciation for property.

wat u said is exactly true but for service apmt the rate should be much higher.... if not it's not called as service apmt LOLz

Well, its not only electricity bill that is more expensive, how bout other utility bills?

The petrol argument make sense, but for me, the diamond shop lot is just walking distance, i'm sure we can get what we want there.

I do agree, having shoplots at the ground floor allow massive convenience, but do remember that, it is a fix cost for intangible convenient. and i doubt that you will be able to do your normal weekly grocery shopping at the 22 shoplot. If for rental, ya it may be able to yield better rent. But i'm sure SG & 288 will get equivalent or even better rent psf, if compare with 222.

There is also no confirm that extra shoplots will give better rental opportunity. I doubt we have data for that.

wah... lets continue the discussion, but lets be constructive ya. no hate

Well, i think webby mean overall. bad tenant = bad impression = affect price. Its something we can all agree on. Its a general statement, and there's more factors to it.

Allow me to rephrase: Bad tenant affect price*

Got disclaimer one.

Can flip arh?  What do you think the value will be upon VP? 

do you think Setapak area can support rm 500 in 3 years time?  How much is Xetapark (wonder how many ways you can spell Setapak like Starparc)  Just for discussion sake hor, and don't take things too seriously.

U really bullish arh?  I tot BNM going to prick the balloon this week.  what do you think lar......?

I think doable in three years time if no one foolish enough burst the so called bubble.

Yes it should be Zetapark.  Maybe next one will be Xetapark, Citapark. LOL

i bought at 288, 23A also. about 360 per sf. wow. i think UOA is crazy to quote so high price per sf. are they really able to deliver high quality of products at the end by paying such high cost?

ya lo..or u wait for ur salary to get increament lo...do u think the increament can get faster than the housing price increament? haha, even inflation can not cover also..

I don't believe.  Wanna take a bet, rm10 only or one teh tarik and a roti canai whichever is lower?

Have to help lower income to higher income.

Someone reserving those choice floors for future sales arh?

That's why we eat roti canai and teh tarik, they eat abalone and sharksfin. This world is really unfair! 

To be fair, I think the benchmark should be equivalent to Bangsarsouth or better.  In fact, BS pricing is lower than SG based on launch prices.
