Buot 1/3 of the land (600 acres) is cater for landscaping, canal and infra, the cost is killing, all will be factored into the selling price, similar project which provide large common space are Desa Parcity, E&O Sri Tanjung & Sierra 16 has seen great appreciation, LBS D'Island surprising sales result has again prooved tat home buyers buying behavior have changed, they dun mind paying higher premium in exchanged with great environmental value. Alam Impian is another choice project with superb low density.
I dun comment LBS Saujana Putra as I dunno, but the existing owner's could hv hit a mini jackpot once the Canal City kicks off. I keep my finger cross as LBS isn't a good developer. However Kota Kemuning vicinity area would indeed an instant beneficiary

other forum mention that the canal city is located 0 degree above sea level... is it true? how do we check that?

D'Island baru launchlah, link hse almost habis
Lake Edge & Lake Field tala samalah...

I think it is more appropriate to compare similar product within similar location or neighbourhood. Some leasehold could be more expensive than freehold due to location or project advantages. e.g. Tropicana house is more expensive than Taman Mayang ....

D;island is positioning differently lah and targeting different customer ...they are very fortunate to be able to sell so many unit at such pricing in my opinion.

Canal city is a mass market township development. So, it will comprises of all type of houses, i dont think they will start with the expensive one first. Lake edge again is G&G with some facilities and its location is too far to be able to make a decent comparison. Again, i dont agree just compare by the nature of the title (FH or LH)....

I personally met Ho chin soon and he believes combine bandar rimbayu and Kota kemuning will spur the growth and potentials. Due to the strategic location n highways, it'll be very good. MRT is currently studying this two areas.

Have a few words with the project manager/staff over the site and they say is too far away from the city and expensive. even their staff travel up and down to the site to work are cursing daily.

IJM staff say is already overprice for property sector and far off town, if anyone can maintain it for long run its up to them.

recommendation from them dont buy. property price went up is bcos alot of buyer flip flop. and bank are very strict on their loan borrowing.

alot of property owners are selling now, preferable to rent and keep the profit rather than owning/serving the high loan in the long run for the property. Got $$ scare cannot buy property in the future. can buy later when property drops
