You guys can try to touch and feel both show unit material.
Open the window and knock on the door/ door frame.
Yes, on paper both are similar.
Try pyscial.

Cheers

addtional info: SG design is too suck. 288 is modern. the difference is too much. especially 288 lobby is too grand to be compared.

UOA still think that with thier reputation, they can easily sell their product. but this will eventually become true when 288 units are all sold. SG not really want to compete with 288 in fact. y i say like dat? Let me share with u what i had experienced in 288 n SG show unit. 288 staff is too friendly n come to approach u once u reach there. in SG show unit, i can see SG staff is sitting in the counter n some are standing without doing anything but no one come to approach me. i even heard one customer complaint y no one serve me. then, I was impressed with OUA toilet wall tiles 2X2ft. But after i heard it was a mistake n it should be only 1x1ft, i was toooo dissapointed.

UOA is too lazy n i cant see the "fire" from wat they had done for this project.

with due respect to all investors of 288 residency -- isnt this setapak and its surrounding areas of this condo a bit salah??? And you guys are investing so much in setapak? Two days ago, my fren told me he bought a unit there. I asked him his target tenant, and he told me he intend to rent to students. And guess wat..... i nearly fainted ......... that proves that he never thought much before his purchase.   Frankly i think he is a bit silly to park his $$ in 288. There are so many safer areas to invest in

Hi, not really, there are many 80s citizen doing very well and financially health…is just putting themselves in low profile. Most of them are ex-Tarcian include myself. Opt to stay in Setapak for lifetime if possible.

There is no proper gated and guarded terrace community in Setapak, therefore, SG and 288 are the good choices for dwelling.

Add to Hiddie’s point, the only hurdle for 288 is unknown developer.

Getting expat rental is unlikely to have, Setapak is still not their choice unless you referring it to negro, then plenty of them wish to rent i guess.

Potential tenant or ideal tenant should as Hiddle mentioned : rookie to corporate world.

Chief, what I meant for financially health is no debts in credit card, overdraft, and personal loan while still enjoying month positive cash flow after all essential commitment.  That’s is financial health (but may still afar to reach financial independent in some extent). Most Malaysian could reach financial health with a proper state planning which I believe most 288 buyers are having the same norm, otherwise, why buy a condo at 500k.
