Yup, just got the letter =)

So who here is planning to go?

Its not only expat/foreigners renting small units in the RM2k-2.5k range.

From my experience covering other high end areas, nowadays there are many young local professionals willing to spend RM2k-RM2.5k for rental.

I recall long long long time ago, this similar issue was brought up for Serviced Apartments. Back then, Serviced Apartments were considered commercial properties and not under HDA. Many developers used this loophole to develop units meant for residential on commercial land while circumventing many of the restrictions under the HDA.

Many people were also worried that they were not protected under HDA when purchasing Serviced Apartments and choose to stay away from them.

Fast forward a few years, after there were so many Serviced Apartments being launched and being used as residential, the Government just decided to recognize it as residential and brought it under the HDA.

Its likely all the current "Hybrid" units will go thru this something similar sometime in the future.

Because there are already so many that have been built, and even more in the process of being built, eventually the Government will probably just recognize them and move on.

For SOVO, SOFO and all other incarnations, the "O" is Office. If you ask any other developers for an "official" answer, they will also have to say their products are offices
