this looks promising!
now only worry for the genuine house buyers are whether they can fight with the investors to secure their dream home or not.

yeah cutealex, care to elaborate as to your statement of them being risky and not popular?
do you have any personal experience with them or got to know about their past projects?

for this project, think anyone can get a bulk purchase discount.
if lyn forummers here say buy 30 units, can't the developer work something out for us???

and how much do we need to fork up if LTV 70%.
what about the legal charges and all?

first you say:

running out of bullet.
still got projects lining up:
1. quarza @ melawati
2. apartment/soho in bb

but this is something really tempting.
undecided.

with or without discount, say rm220k/829sf = RM265psf
not that cheap leh.
wonder pai parang or not since he mention rm220psf is more his cup of tea.

are bigger units cheaper?
how many types of layout are there besides the penthouses and duplexes?

block A - SOLD OUT!

sorry,
block A - blocked out. revising pricing prior to resuming sales
block b,c,d - still ada for sale now
all discount still valid for today

don't know but i think we manage to secure some units

btw, can you guys help to clarify that all 829 sq ft units are outward facing and no pool view?
pool view are larger units and comes with balcony?

more men less capital lor.
PP RM250.88psf.
not going for dibs

less bullet liao.
so either quarza or bb have to let go liao.

yeah, when was this taken btw?
no takers at all meh?

so let me guess this right.
they block out block A currently for pricing revision.
they are selling block b, c, d now???
all units comes with min 2 cp?

i thought that picture is block b lah.

block a&d 23 floors.
block b&c 19 floors.
correct?
resi floors start from which floor and how many units per floor ah?
and how many lift?
arigato

guys. reporting time.
just been to the site. and here's my review.

1. access:
access is ok. very close to mrr2 but not too close. nearby and within walking distance to ktm station. although road seems small but should be sufficient to service amara, tmn raintree and the low cost flat. provided ytl lorries and amara future residents don't simply park.

2. amenities:
nearby amenities sucks. very few shops around. especially prominent shops. makan also could be a bit susah. therefore, amara shops could be a very good buy. i also waiting list for rejected shop units.

3. surrounding:
the ytl depot is thankfully not a factory. quiet but with noticable vehicular movements of big trailers. the hills are a sight to enjoy. but the layout limits the view. the stupid column separates the master from the living. so either you get the north view or the south view from your unit standing either in living or master. the podium should be able to clear the depot easily including the silo. those pool view should have unobstructed views.

4. layouts:
layouts are generally acceptable. finishes are a big let down. ceramix 1x1 tiles for all areas including bedrooms. no timber laminate. have concern on lift over units ratio. does not seems sufficient.

conclusion:
IMHO, a low risk for flippers but for rental would be relatively on the low side especially with rising rates. even those with 70% LTV can still afford it with their present discount scheme where you need to standby 20% of the SPA price only and over a span of approx 1 year. but for flippers, do not expect 50% cap app lah unless something really positive happen. think 20-30% would be achievable.

lastly:
take up rate is nowhere as fantastic as what some describe. from the looks of things IMHO, block b is the best seller presently. not sure whether tower a have pricing revision already or not but generally more expensive by rm30k. agents claim additional CP and best view wor. visually i would say take up rate as follows:
a-50-55%, b-60-65%, c-55-60%, d-10%?

that's all for now folks.
good luck!

sizes not sure but confirmed tiles for bedroom.
indicated in the drawings clearly.
also some layouts on the laminated sheets versus those glossy advertising prints are different.
eg. master bath basin for type c on adverts is by the side wherelse on lami sheets indicates basin is facing door.

Added on May 13, 2011, 5:03 pmi think price revision should hit rm280-300.
upon completion should be better than that.
current is already hovering rm250psf. expect around 5-10% hike to official launch this sunday.

lease expired mah renew lor....
ytl wor... sure got jalan one

as for the layout and specifications... guess needs to revisit showhouse or wait till SPA to find out.
but SPA also will not spell out dimension. just type of material only.

ererr.... i think mission: impossible lah.
