Bro, congratulations for your Kiara 1 purchase which is much much cheaper. I don't even know Kiara 1 until I heard about Kiara 2. Lol.

I did call them much earlier than soft launch. First, say cannot book first only can register. I had registered anyway.

Next then told me not open until launching. Next, no pick up for 3 consecutive days.

That's the biggest reason I been lazy to bother and skip. Bcz I not worry as I feel got few pipeline and to be filter.

Added on February 10, 2012, 10:56 amI am not pro about noises of highway to a highrise residence. But I am more concern about the noises from LRT as it is quite too near.

As, I own a unit of Impian Meridian which is also facing Kesas Highway and it's interchange but I don't feel any noises when I visit my unit once a while. Not sure how near it is compare to KR2. But I was told by valuer friend that KR2 sitting on a lower land of Bukit OUG.

Huh, pick up the LRT View Unit?

If i buy Medium Cost Apartment, then i am fine with LRT is very near, bcz fits the Medium Cost residences and can boost up the rental.

If for those 400-500k condo like KR2, expected rental needs RM 2-2.5k to cover, i feel LRT is not that big influence for the tenants who can afford RM 2-2.5k rental to come in... just my strategy ...

Somemore, LRT is not that important in my property game, bcz LRT is not convenience yet as at today, and KL people is yet to have attitude to have car pool, not to mention, take LRT to work or any occasions... ( Sorry, just my opinion )

But if i buy landed like DSTH, my most avoid list would be near to LRT.

My unit is 11th floor ... and my friend at 22nd floor ... both facing pool/highway and not much noise at all ...

Fren, what you said is off-topic to what I mentioned lar. We were talking about NOISE pollution, and I am just saying what I think is the reason some people who have bought KR2, prefer to pick the LRT view instead of the KESAS view ( we got only two choices here for KR2!). Because for these people, they are of the opinion that both the KESAS view and LRT view are bad in term of noise, but between the two evils, they rather pick the LRT view because the noise will ceased after mid night.

[/quote]

Ohh, ok. Chill my fren... nothing is off topic la as long as i still discussing something about KR2 and it's potential ....

I thought the LRT is sitting next to KR2 ( thought only one of the wing facing LRT )

Then if KR2 stands between LRT and Kesas Highway view, perhaps both also a tough choice, in terms of so-so view ... facing Kesas might have better view than LRT but one main is the dust and facing LRT view, see how near it is, if too near and low floor unit, sure probably have the worst facing, and i think higher units would be the best ...

For me, KLCC View, Pool View or what scenery is 2nd option for me, most important is noise and air pollution .... unless i buying KLCC condos ...

Noise pollution shouldn't be big problem.

U got ur unit from drop out unit? Hmm, recently?

I also looking one. Waiting agent call.

Kiara price from RM 450k onwards, I put at conservative RM 500k average. I suggest the rental as at today market is from RM 2,000 onwards.

3 years down the road might increase as well as LRT is completed. It only faces stiff competition from Z Residence which is also VP at the same time. The Zest is totally not a direct competitor as located in Kinrara, a much jam place and not as ideal as KR1, 2 or Z Residence or any Bkt Jalils condo.

Too many units available for rent at that area. If rental goes RM 3,000 how much The Treez and KM1 going to fetch? Where are the population?

Must take note that, more and more units available for rent in next 3 years and there is not one LRT only built next to Kiara but a lot of other places. Even Puchong has 4 new LRTs so everywhere almost become convenient. So, why pay more if the tenant is taking LRT to work?

Yup. For KR, I can say probably the most not so expensive condo ever in 2012 launching.

RM 420 psf after discount. Even at LH, a very good price for a location like Bkt Jalil.

Next to The Link, Kesas Highway and good surrounding

6 tiers security. Free kitchen cabinet. Free 4 air cons. 4 units x 2 entrance per floor. Every unit is corner unit.

The most attracting is easy entry with only 3% downpayment and DIBS until completion by 2015.

A good low capital for investment ( if you feel not conservative of few condos surrounded ) and it's much cheap buy if for own stay.

I have one concern

I had checked that the land is part of the Bukit OUG. And lower land, therefore developer bought cheaper premium and sold the unit at not so high price. Anyone can confirm, once it is completed, the postal address is Bukit OUG or Bukit Jalil?

It's kinda big comparison here.

Not many banks are panel. Since so strict for the approval, I am sure got cancel units unless some are fine with 80-85% loan since got 7% discount.

Difference of 10% of 600k is 60k.

Depends on schedule but estimated progressive interest u pay is approx few thousands.

Anyway, depends on construction progress and how fast developer billing to ur financial institution.

Yup, you have your point ...

Actually what i mean is, KR1 and KR2 competition is btw themselves and next to door condo, The Rainz ( if i can remember these name well ) and Z Residence.
Total combine would approx 2.5k units or less than 3k

Bcz KM1 and The Treez are higher end condo and much exp compare to 4 above, so, they are in their own league. And non comparable with the 4 above.

Anyway, if based of the 4 mentioned above, i still prefer KR1 or KR2.

However, for rental, i would see easily RM 2,000 onwards ... if 3 years down the road, if the rental market is good, then RM 2,500 is possible since the currency is also smaller compare today ...

Hopefully, our salary will increase by at least 10-20% by 2015.

=))

That's the special of KR 1 and 2.

hi ah chung, wow, thanks for your info, appreciate,

Actually i looking for type A ( 1069 sq feet ) or Type A1 ( 1196 sq feet but too bad, 2 balcony wasting space) As small as possible and not too high floor unit ...

Got size of 1295?
As i know Type B is 1260 sq feet. You know which floor and selling price? I think RM 545k and up ( after discount )

But too bad, i hate facing LRT ...

Yupp, the developer is belongs to Knox Group ...

Hi ronn, thanks ...

When u made the booking?

Will go to the showroom and check it out ...

I know they are marketing consultant for a lot projects.

But I also was told by fren that developer is actually same group of the Knox group.

Let me find more actual sources for this.

Added on February 15, 2012, 12:33 amShould be ok Gua.

If they are established developer, I don't think they will sell at such RM 450 psf. Maybe RM 550 Or 600 psf onwards.

Was told it won't be commence so early and most probably after April 2012.

For own stay, it might be not a good news but is is for investor view with good holding power.

Since it DIBS, the capital and cost of investment is minimized. Therefore, whether they complete by 2015 or 2016 is same.

But, when goes into flip after VP, the sub sakes and market price for 2015 and 2016 is huge difference. Say, it increase by 7%. A 500k unit perhaps sells at 650k at 2015 and might sells 692k at 2016.

But this is only applies that you do not have the urgency to flip early for capital return for next buy.

At least, corner gives extra options of providing more fresher air and wind through. Lots of windows sometimes good and bad. It is slightly a bit hot but if nicely put curtain. It shuldnt be any prob.

Good security tiers of 6 and also only 8 units per floor.

At RM 420 psf onwards and such freebies plus easy entry after 7% discount in KL address. I would say the most fair price( if not cheap) ever launched this year.

Not much movement. Still btw 0-10% constructions.
The stage is clearing and earth works. Expected for mass construction after AP & DL obtained and S&P signing which expected at July 2012.

Perhaps, it was slow due to many units still pending for loan application.

Added on February 25, 2012, 5:33 pmMost fully book by 4pm just now.

I wanted a Type A or B, but again, need to wait drop out or rejected loan units.

Type B2 which with double lanai, has 2 units left. The rest all big big size units.

The 7% discount is still applicable.

Any bro or sister here if got Type A or B to drop, please inform me.

This post has been edited by Chris Chew: Feb 25 2012, 05:33 PM

Which bank u guys applying?

Hmm agree too. I kinda like the concept of double lanai but since I seldom use it and also, it located beside highway, it's quite hard for maintenance.

I considering Type B1 ( 2 units left ) with double lanai since Type A and B still need to wait for drop out.

However, Alliance Bank is the main panel for this DIBS project.

Type C 1457 sq ft has the best layout among A, B And C.

Type A not available. Type B fully booked. Type C facing Pool/Kesas fully booked.

But there are few units (6-8 units) available at Tower 3 facing LRT. Too bad this facing not only direct LRT station but on the right of the balcony, the view us half of the Tower 2 Unit 3A and Unit 5.

For those units with garden, plenty of it available.

Yup. Tower 3, the unit of 1457 still had a lot units. Lvl 15 onwards have a lot choices.

1457 has more practical space compare to double lanai of A1 and B1 where I suggest the master bedroom lanai is big against it's house origin size.

Anyway, the biggest issue for many units not taken was due to it's view.
