Hi all,
I'm currently looking for a home to buy and stay. As I'm currently looking for a place nearest to PJ, I search in Putra Height.
I just viewed Putra Avenue Citrine and loves it. The problem is it's not G&G. I prefer G&G as I'm at work most of the time. I found out about SimeDarby's new project called The Glades.

Anyone has any info for on the Terrace Link and Town House prices? My budget is 650-700K.
Can the budget make it?

Thank You








Last heard from Sime, 600K for condo, and >1M for town and superlink

Buy house in Cyberjaya. The price has been increasing a lot since past years. A lot of condos and houses area are being built rite now, by the time its complete, the price will skyrocket.

Hmmm Why do you think Cyberjaya's properties price will skyrocket? Do you have any news that Cyberjaya will bloom?

I can see lots of developers are starting high end residential projects. Their prices are even higher than those launched in Bukit Jalil, Kinrara hot areas.

From what I see, Cyberjaya is still not that developed. Public amenities are not at par with the new high end residential project.

totallly agree..i also do not understand who are the pple buying into cyberjaya?

what really attracts them? the tolled highways, lack of amenities or the few big oil tankers?

a place where i thought, birds do not even lay their eggs there one

the Glades are meant for high-end living
will surely hit > rm700k
as a benchmark; just check out the Royale Palms there. you can roughly get the average price for this
anyhow, there will be a high-end condo for this project; going to be launched within these few months. visit Sime Darby office for more info on this

Wow.... >700k for Putra Heights
If 700k i can still make it. But if more, i can forget dy.
It's for personal stay as i work in Kelana Jaya. That's the closest and cheapest i can find.

even citrine, amber and topaz are asking for rm700k now in subsale
would u think they will price The Glades cheaper than this?
Sime Darby is not dumb
wait till the construction of lrt has started, u will regret not to get one landed, freehold unit at putra heights

good luck with ur budget, prices start at 7 figures..

Just asked, Terrace at The Glades, 2.2M to 2.4M, and they accept booking in May.
Now they just launching SemiD.....


I can forget it.

is this for real
RM2.2M for a terrace house in Putraheights?

Yupp.....that sales man told me 2.2M for Terrace......i asked twice......
For townhouse is about 1.8M.........he said.........damn crazy price......
He said got no brochure yet or scale unit, but can goto his office to book SemiD now......i did not bother to ask the price.

Totally out of my reach.......But if anyone here interested, can go and ask at the showroom

OMG, 2.2M for Terrace!!! It is even higher than Jalil City. I thought Jalil City's price is crazy, places like Putra Height is selling at even higher price tag. I wonder who is going to buy.

And when is that going to run?

As you have said, this project is targeting high end residents. Do you think they will utilize the LRT so often when they have nice and comfortable car driving around? What will be the other justifications for such a premium price besides the LRT? Places like Bukit Jalil, Kinrara have even more LRT stations situated around the area and they are closer to KL city with more public amenities.

Let's see when it launch. Maybe that salesman was mis-informed on the price. 1.2M sounds possible....but 2.2M I seriously doubt
No brochures, no pamplet, no model unit.....so maybe it was a mistake
I give him the benefit of doubt.

If anyone call Sime, please confirm the price here

Added on March 7, 2011, 9:22 pmI'm looking at Putra Avenue now though not G&G

This post has been edited by stinky: Mar 7 2011, 09:22 PM

not GnG good ar?

Hi Yoki,
Of cause I prefer GnG in Subang, but at 700K max budget I cant afford The Glades, and not even USJ Height.
So i have to consider non-GnG in Putra Avenue.

I works in Free Trade Zone PJ, and that's why looking for around that area

usj heights that has alot of high tension cable and telco tower
also very exp already

maybe you can check subsales for usj heights?

think they have some 2 storey one

This pricing made me think at what point people would stop and think if they were not overpaying for G&G.

For 400k premium of G&G vs regular you would pay an extra 2k monthly for 30 years. For the same money you could hire 2 security guards (day and night shift) for your house.

Location of USJ heights for me is really poor. Access in and out of the area is limited.

Not really. You pay a premium but when you sell, you get back your premium plus more. Just like a person paying more installments for his semi-d, but eventually he sells it at a higher price and make more than if he had just bought a terrace for example. I think premium for gated and guarded especially FREEHOLD ones are justifiable. Very easy to let go in the future.

Ok, so for you paying additional 400k is no problem, let's say 800k vs 400k in the same neighborhood.
How about 1m vs 400k, you would still go for G&G?

I know what you mean. Very hard for me to decide how much premium is too much. I guess I will look at comparable G+G around. There are different levels of G+G. But agree with you there must be a ceiling on the premium. I guess market will determine it.

Why not consider Twin Palm project in Sg Long? It is one of the best G&G I have ever visited.

They are launching their new Semi D, Maya at 1.3mil.

o no sungai long also RM1.3mil dy?

i think now can only try kajang landed...maybe jadehiills super link RM860k

hi naleh, can you describe why u rated is the best G&G ?

I mean one of the best G&G concept I have met. The security feature is designed properly. You have one main guard entrance and each area (Superlink, SemiD, Bungalows) , you have another security checkpoint. The surrounding project is fenced/walled up till 10 feet high and equipped with CCTV on top of the fencing.

On top of that, they have set up a very nice clubhouse with comfortable and high end facilities. There is a very nice linear park along it as well. Overall, it gives you a very high class, comfortable feeling when you are in the environment. Besides, the project is still situated/surrounded by lush green forrest and very peaceful.

Of course, the project has cons as well like quite far from the city centre, no public amenities nearby. Nearest will be Sungai Long, Mahkota Cheras and you will need to pay RM1.00 toll whenever you leave your house.

Millions again....
Where are all the middle income group houses

+1

My friend who works in cyberjaya dhl .. doesnt even consider staying there at all ..

Still around if you can modify your expectations to suit your budget. Sg. Buloh, Rawang, Bangi & Klang.

Just called again, launching in May. Cheapest is condo at 600K

Putra Heights location at 600K for a condo. Must be 2000sf?

u can have a look at puchong hartamas kim crest, also one of the gated n guard, nice environment, behind bandar puteri..
700, maybe u can get a 2.5 storey with some nego...

Spam

check out tanamera subsale if you are looking at that area, value for money, but chose unit that is away from the hwy. hope it helps

Hi, i am not SA or agent, I am just sharing with you the ambient and environment of the place which I am staying right now.

if you been there, u know what i mean. One of the forumer here got a unit last year from subsale after i given her some advices, she should be happy now as price has increase so much. at least it's a gated n guarded.

To know the place, just come at night... see for your self as the whole area is lighted up, we never need to on our outdoor light at all. Lamp post everywhere.

So, if anyone with some budget for 600k-710k, they may still get either 2 storey or 2.5 storey. workmanship is good compare to puteri. but there's a cemetary nearby, but it's not affecting us as it's a street away and was block by all the fencing trees.

why don't u look at ttdi alam impian. it's G&G and suit ur budget also accessible to federal hiway and kesas.

I believe Olives in subang meets your budget or 700k.. last 2010 pricing is 440 psf min..

The price can buy a luxury condominium in Golden Triangle KL!!!

700k can buy a condo in golden triangle kl ???

Yes, possible, depend on size. IF not exactly at golden triangle, 1km walking distance is possible.

putra heights turning into another hartamas,maybe.I live nearby and just fall in love with this place everytime passing by.The houses design are modern and beautiful .Geez,if only i can afford just any unit there.Hope they have middle range development too slim chance though...

This post has been edited by pchan: Apr 11 2011, 10:04 PM

Any indicative price for semi-D units?

there u go....terrace at 2.2M
DPC already 1.7M and counting.....
I believe only flippers will make money but not on long term buyers/investors as big crash is imminent.
Easily 10M properties in Klang valley with only 2M household. remaining 8M held by 10% of the household.
once Bursa down, BLR up, property will be down and can get 50-60% of current value

Are you serious, terrace going at 2.2M???

Why do you think a big crash is imminent? Any facts to back you statements?

The glades is really overpriced IMHO. But I think Sime Darby needs to do this to push the township up.

Wah, u predicted so well. Have u bought a house
or still waiting to buy?
I guess u have not make any purchase.
Probably u got to wait for few years without
further control by govt for that to happen.

Putra Heights is a certainly a nice place to live in, only if the price is right. But I have the feeling that the sales will still be good....

some units were sold off aldy
superlink and bungalow have more buyers than the rest

He is consoling himself

Couldn't agree more....

My opinion is Bukit Jalil is not yet hot areas, it is sleeping giant waiting to wake up..
Bukit Kiara yes,, very hot...

I happened to pass by the proposed site for SRJK© Tun Tan Siew Sin today and noticed some workers unloading construction materials. When I approached the supervisor (a local Chinese), I was surpriced to be told that they are the contractor's workers for the school project. It looks like the Chinese school construction is finaly going to kick off (fingers crossed).

I think SD has priced the Glades on the high side by leveraging on these 3 factors :
1. SRJK© Tun Tan Siew Sin
2. PH LRT
3. One City by WCT

Putra Heights certainly has its great potential in the next 2 years when the above 3 projects are completed at about the same time. Let's see.

I think SD has priced the Glades on the high side by leveraging on these 3 factors :
1. SRJK© Tun Tan Siew Sin
2. PH LRT
3. One City by WCT

bro tcl7727,

3.One City is by @ One City Properties ( MCT )

I agree. The phase 1 and 2 of One City will be completed 1st quarter of next year whereas the phase 3 is expected to be completed by 2015.

Anyway, The Glades does look very luxurious.....

Just back from the show room (went there to collect some brochures), all the 18 nos of Superlink released for this launch has already been sold.

Seems that SD allows buyers to book even before official launch this Saturday.

SD will only release the remaining superlink at the second launch. Well looks like the response is encouraging, and it is still a seller's market out there.

any news about Sime Darby Indigo project? USJ Heights?

Indigo Phase 1 sold out, Phase 2 dunno.

aldy open for booking since last Sat...

agree! the overall master plan of The Glades is very nice.....good mixes of property types......

my only problem is despite SIME has been in the property sector for over 20 yrs, I have yet to see SIME managed to create a high end enclave that is talk of the town, despite having landbanks left right and centre.

terraces in TG really selling from 2.2mil?

look for kemuning utama -- indah residence, indah elite price around 600k

If I may add in no.4 Kingston International School on top of Bukit Cermin. All these is healthy for Putra Heights and yes, I still believe in PH after staying there for 5 years with very slow development, and the commercial center without any banks, interesting makan place and schools. Recently dominoes came in (already running now), TTSS school construction on and wind on more banks coming in... myself is looking for a 2nd house also. Too bad there is no full G+G except Section 7 Laman Putra, anyway just drive around PH and you might find something interesting.

This post has been edited by Jenn77: May 20 2011, 09:21 AM

is the COndo on sales too?

The Condos are not going to be launched yet.

G&G at this project will be much better & proper than Sec 7
but I do agree that the G&G at Sec 7 is better than nothing, as the compound is just squarish enough for the Gate to be there, even it's just chicken fencing
On the other hand, the G&G at the Glades will have CCTV, direct link to guard house and etc. Proper G&G in place
Well, even the rest of PH residents cannot enjoy the clubhouse facilities; no entry

PH is quite a nice place to stay in. I've been living here for the past 5years.
Location wise, quite good, good access to shah alam, puchong (toll), subang, and KLIA

Quiet @ nite, and the commercial centre is slowly developing.give some time and it will flourish
Security wise, i do here of some break ins @ sec8, and even my own section 10 . my car was stolen 2yrs ago

This post has been edited by kh8668: May 21 2011, 01:05 PM

So hows the launch yesterday? Anybody?

40% units were snapped when i was there at Sat morning.. cheapest option is the townhouse which starts from 1.2m onwards I think.. Now i felt regret for not buying the semi-d (subsales) at mutiara damansara!

anyone know when they launch for condo?

OMG...2.2ML for house.

Why dun try at Puchong area? Taman Tasik Prima/ Taman Putra Impiana, Puchong Utama is developing some leasehold some freehold. Cost price is only around 550k - 700k within your budget!!! Check it out. there's a big shopping mall with condo called Whaft.

Putra Glades is playing a different ball game, cannot take it to compare to other projects in Puchong, Sime Darby is trying to position herself like Sam Ling Group in Sri Damansara, creating premium product cater for special niche market segment, the township layout is even better than Desa Parkcity, superb low density and great building qualities...

I really doubt whether Putra Heights can have quality residents like Damansara or not, dun forget the g+g maintenance could cost RM1000 per household / mth easily, if most of the buyers buy for investment (flip), then I dun see glades can be a success in long run....

This post has been edited by UFO-ET: May 25 2011, 11:55 PM

wow... 1k just for maintenance?
so exp le

anniecyp2003 is taling about budget between RM500k to RM700k...... Please read more before putting a reply. Furthermore, it is The Glades @ Putra Heights, not Putra Glades. And what do u mean by quality residents? There are different people with different opinions about things. There's no such thing as quality residents! No offence, bro. But please think twice of what u've said about the quality residents. I think u should change the word 'quality' to affluent, if that's what u are trying to say.

Regards.

"affluent' is inappropriate. is "quality".
never mind if you dun agree...

I dun simply comment...

Sorry, maybe I was being too negative. Let's get over it... So.. any updates?

TG is a very different ball game all together, it target at affluent resident who looking at Desa Parkcity Township - kind of - Development at Shah Alam, USJ area.

The title is strata title for landed so maintenance is going to be high.


Wish I can afford a house there by winning lottery


Can you guys tell me why you like the development?


For a starter, I feel the house layout is beautiful base on artist impression

This post has been edited by mikro: May 28 2011, 02:59 AM

I don't know why SD priced the Glades so high?

Townhouses from 1.2m upwards? Superlink from 2.2m ? for strata title? That's quite insane

You can get better bargain at USJ Heights, another devt by SD. 2.5 sty (26x80) superlink with with freehold individual title is only selling at 1.4-1.5 m at the secondary market. It is even nearer to Federal Highway, USJ Taipan & Subang Jaya and established schools.

USJ Heights is also G&G, the devt approval is for guarded but the proper perimeter brickwall fencing is done by SD even with a proper guardhouse, cctv and electrified wire, but no clubhouse and swimming pool, so maitenance fees also lower. Worth consider for those with lower budget.

Just my 2-cents worth.

I just study the brochure.


They claim got free wifi in the house area with fiber optic connection....

They also claim they used a lot of tree to landscape.

and, they got a waterway for bungalow.

Condo will launch end of May, June- Planed!

When u have millions to buy a house maintenance fees isn't a factor.. Is a different league..willing buyer willing seller nothing is insane IMO..

One minor correction - "When you have millions in CASH to buy a house, maintenance isn't a factor".

How many The Glades buyers do not need bank's loan? And many of them stretch the loan tenure to 30yrs. Many ppl are paying loan installments through the nose every month in order to be in the "league".

You just need to be a member of an RA to know that even for supposedly high-end devt, collection and default of maintenance fees is a serious issue.

totally agreed, when AGM come, there are no difference between so call low cost residents & highend residents are over petty money matters...really embarrassing

Precisely, high income group or rich neighbor isn't mean they are a "quality" resident, certain percentage will create lots of troubles in paying maintenance charges...
Many who stay in million dollar condo in MK being non performing members too

Well I kinda agree with the bolded statement by UFO-ET. I'm a Putra Heights resident and I think the 'quality' of the resident is very important. I would say that 80% of the resident in Putra Heights is Malay and 20% is Chinese, Indian and others (incl. foreigners esp. indonesians) How many have you been to Putra Heights? Before you all comment on how magnificent Putra Height is, please take your time and drive around the residential areas. Personally Putra Heights can be categorized as a medium to low income group as I would say from Section 1-10, there are almost 20-30% of empty houses and most people buy their properties here for investment. If you drive around the neighborhood, you will see alot of empty houses (most shabby looking) with banners slapped all around it. I understand the statement 'quality of the residents' because me myself feel very sad about the mentality of some of the residents, though afford to drive a continental car, but still think like a orang kampung( be it chinese, indian, malay etc..) A few things that I encountered for the past 5 years I stay here, that should fit the bolded statement very very much...

1) boys from low cost apartments across the street (opposite Esso) comes to our playground at Section 9. They destroy our playground equipments, burn them and despite MPSJ keep repair it, the result become the same. Numerous report made, even police come, still no effect. The adults in the playground (some foreigners) just ignore things that happened infront of their eyes.

2) no RA (Resident Association) because most residents here claimed their house is rented, anything talk to landlord, lazy to entertain RA. Attend once RA meeting in my section, big argument until want to fight for a small matter. Disguting.

3) Dont be surprised to see people disposing furnitures and other items that they no longer use (be it small or big) infront of their houses, or anywhere that is an open area. Another sad thing is my neighbor, Chinese (engineer in profesion) disposed their unused vase, pots infront of the playground field. Some residents just throw their sofa in the drain (longkang) nearby their house or other people house.

4) 2-3am, you will hear alot of big motorbikes rounding at the playground area (means infront of my house) be it weekdays or weekend. Sometimes heavily modified cars come to race at the straight main road connecting sec 7, 9 & 10. You can see 'live' fast and furious.

5) I have 2 cars, I parked 1 infront of my gate (without obstructing traffic) and got my car scratched, 'puk*mak' and 'lan *iao'. My neighbors MYVI got painted with cat poo and my malay neighbors honda civic got his side mirror cracked. We have serious security issues here. We are working adults and cars only back at late evening, so no idea who's kid is so uneducated and kurang ajar to do all this. Later we found out it is a pattern random attack.

Actually there are more negative points but I do not want to make the reader's eye sore, so 5 should be suffecient. I dare not say that high end, premium, sofisticated developments do not have lousy residents, but at least it is minimized and finding the culprit will not be a hassle. Every neighborhood has got their nightmares and sweet dreams, because it is all determine by the quality of the residents. I would describe myself as neutral as I do stoopid things like being a litter bug sometimes, but not to the extend of annoying other people. I do know that Putra Heights die hard suppporter and fans will start bashing me like no tomorrow after reading my essay, but hey, its the truth of the truth. So, I really prioritise my next house buying at security (best G+G) 1st, quality of residents (be it chinese, malay or indian only) 2nd and conditions of environment 3rd. I have no regrets buying my current house and do not intend to sell it either, but given the oppurtunity I will find a better place to stay.

i have to agree with Jenn77.

i'm from PH as well. i agree on the -ve aspect on older phases
but it's lot better on newer phases (e.g. sec 6 and 7)
not forgetting sec 3 as well
i would say... these sections have better neighborhood than the rest; no offense bro

This place need a lot of catch-up to do before it can be categorise under medium to high-end living. Myself been driving to that areas couple of times and although there's many new development in this area still I can see that the low cost houses and surrounding which is tarnishing the whole image of PH. Anyway probably given a few years down the road you will see a much better surrounding and environment in PH.

with the chinese school and international school are up and operating, PH will be a nice place to live in
i love the quietness of its surrounding; that's why i opt to buy my 1st house here
hopefully the LRT will not spoil the environment much

I NOTICED Anyway, do wish PH all the best. Cost houses elsewhere is not selling cheap either.

I heard Sime Darby Property have sold 60 to 70% of their bungalows in The Glades, Putra Heights. I do like the house, just hate the maintenance fee!


This post has been edited by thomstho: Jun 28 2011, 10:21 PM

Another alternative would be USJ Heights' bungalows, gathered that USJ Heights' maintenance fee is lower cos it comes with individual title, and it is a guarded and "gated" community too, but minus all the clubhouse facilities. SD is launching USJ Heights bungalows ( only about 14 units)in July !!

I think USJ Heights is worth taking a look, it has enjoyed very impressive capital appreciation for their earlier phases.

---

Added on June 30, 2011, 12:07 amI think those wishing to buy into PH should do it now because of the LRT, International School and most importantly SRJKC Tun Tan Siew Sin which is currently under construction and expected to be ready by 2013. The house prices at PH will even be much higher by then.



This post has been edited by tcl7727: Jun 30 2011, 12:07 AM

the Glades is a lot more exclusive than USJ H

Agree...
In fact location wise I do feel The Glades has advantage over USJ Heights, coz UH are surrounded by many industrial Parks, air quality is questionable, furthermore KESAS highway (lower ground) will create heavy echo to this Tmn.

My dad has bought a unit of Indigo II zero-lot bungalow (Type A) in USJ Heights for RM2,250,000 (RM520 psf) 2 months back. All units are fully sold now. A few weeks ago, a person called up and offered us RM2.5 million to buy the house. However, my father turned away the offer as his intention is not for investment, but to move in to a new house.. From there, I realized that the houses in Subang Jaya appreciate very fast... Maybe when the house is completed, it may cost double/triple its launch price.

About the air quality, it depends on which part of USJ Heights you are talking about. I agree that maybe some of the units will have bad air quality and even electromagnetic wave issues as some of the super link houses are facing the TNB cable station. But the Batu Tiga's industrial park is still quite far away from USJ Heights. Moreover, you have to pass by Subang Heights to go the industrial park. I think it most probably at least 1km away from USJ Heights. So I don't think the air quality is an issue, it's the TNB cable station.

Thank god, our unit is not near the TNB cable station.

Regards.

Anyway, here's a teaser of the upcoming Avalon bungalow development in USJ Heights.

Avalon @ USJ Heights, Subang Jaya

I've just been to USJ Heights sales office and saw the upcoming launch of a new bungalow development called Avalon @ USJ Heights.

Sime Darby Property indicated that launch price will be from RM3.3 million.

Total Units: 14
Price: From RM3.3 million (estimated, not confirmed!)

Please call Sime Darby Property for more info! They said booking is first come first serve, so be alert!

Official launching in July!

G&G is the main factor for USJH
