exactly my thots too..i too tried getting in but looking at the numbers, i just felt it was not doable upon VP..
the traffic there currently is already a nightmare and gonna get worse with completion of Mcity and elements.

that is not accurate..when they launched M city the talk of MRT was already there so they sold sibeh high..
so its not like it was after the fact kind of thingy..

the latest i heard was that this ampang MRT has been shelved..not sure if its the case still as with our authority
one never knows so if the boarding goes up, then can only say ..99% confirmed..

for me, entry price way too high and its risky bearing in mind the huge supply of units that will be coming
online ..
developer reputation for end product is not good going by the few projects that they
have delivered so far..they launch left right and centre, top and bottom so to speak but track record really
is not that good..

wanna buy - you better have holding power for at least 5 years after completion..

totally agree...colossal nightmare in the making!

though am not a fan of mah sing, I really don't think they will abandon this project..
it will not be in their best interests and they have more to lose abandoning it then completing it

yes, I do agree as well..the developer was trying to super max profits so the prices to me was just too high even with the concept of water gardens,
hanging gardens and what not.. I am skeptical regarding delivery in terms of quality most of all and I also wonder if the gardens will end up having plastic
plants and flowers becoz am not sure how real plants are going to thrive and survive in the building itself just looking at the design - am no expert but I have my doubts. We all know plants need loads of light esp morning sun and all but will this be possible in this building?

MS track record is not stellar infact some of their recently vped developments have received plenty of negative feedback regarding quality and delivery..

maybe just maybe, MS will deliver a spectacular product in the end..

time will tell ...

the more discounts given , the more red flags should go up..

no free meal ..esp from developers!

think no one says its only jalan ampang lah though the way it was written, macam only jalan ampang..!

on top of that curved balls coming from left right and centre from the country's administration, its no wonder its becoming a very slippery slope for many ..

btw, M City mana ada 1500 units?? less than 600 units ..

I stand corrected..thanks..

generally I would think low expectations from the buyers give developers loads of opportunities to deliver products
that are below par..

ya I know..that was what I meant by "generally"..

at the end of the day its all about expectations - each buyer has different levels of expectations..

I know of a MS case whereby the roof collapsed - for some its ok as long as the developer responds immediately
to have it repaired ..for some its scary as they are thinking this concerns safety so how safe is their property and will more problems crop up in future after the defect period is over..?

well well, I was not aware but now that you mentioned maybe there are more unreported issues..

so that means its acceptable ka?

am seeing it very clearly actually - at the end of the day no MS developments for me as they are
overpriced and of poor quality..

we all have different standards and expectations ..normal lah

they have started painting in dark grey color ..work seems to be moving at a good pace

ya agree..they have started painting it but the color to me is a bit gloomy..
outside is about ready - inside probably long long way off with the water features, hanging gardens, facilities, and what not ..

yup good observation..

the proximity to the MRRI on the right side of the building is mind boggling..imagine the noise day in day out for the units closest to it..

Ya, lots of pessimism growing regarding this project ..

anyway, not necessary to wait until CF or VP to know for sure whether this project is going to be in
trouble or not so to speak..macro view of the whole market and area should give some concrete ideas as to what to expect..

so my personal verdict is that its gonna be very challenging for buyers who do not have holding power..and I think for this project there wl
be quite a number who will fall into this category..

no you really really cant make the wrong decision - this type of development is not cheap by any means..so if you get it wrong with your
first purchase, its going to hurt for a long time , financially and mentally.
