Am curious why there is no active thread on Platinum Victory Condo at Taman Melati.

Is there any potential appreciation for this area? Any review on the workmanship of the developer? How / what are the facilities provided for the development?

Hope that fellow forumers especially existing owners and buyers can share view / opinion / feedback on the completed project (PV3, PV5, PV6, PV8) as well as the final phase which is under-construction (PV2).

my personal opinion.. go for PV8 and PV2 only.. buy PV8 garden unit is the best ops la..

And your reason will be because of...?

first.. freehold.. second.. workmanship (diff with other pv).. third.. go in PV8 garden unit and you will understand what i mean..

if i have $$ earlier on, i will book on pv8 definitely..

Is it other PVs (pv3,pv5,pv7) in Melati are leasehold? And are u implying that the build-quality of pv8 and the on-going pv2 is better than the rest?

Tried to google but seem no one is selling garden unit pv8. Guess maybe its for own stay.

How bout PV2 any review or comment?

Hi, agreed that if you want to purchase, go for PV8 and PV2 only.

1. PV3,PV5,PV6 are this developer 1st few projects (they're gaining more and more experience from there and now become better), you really can see the diff of their 1st project PV3 compare to PV8.
2. I have friend work in the constructions company that build PV series. He told me that PV8 and PV2 material quality are lots more better.
3. Appreciation or not, I'm not sure. But for old PVs, selling price around 170 to 200k only, they're now selling 300k onwards...you can count yourself.

If have money, go for PV8 side corner unit which the living full-height balcony window facing KLCC, it's really amazing. 1500 sqft, freehold, 2 car parks. originally sell at 300k, now subsale 400k where to find?

PS: PV7 is not residential, is a commercial shoplots. There are only PV3, PV5, PV6 and PV8 completed residential currently.

Thanks for the heads-up. Yeah the appreciation for the previous PVs (pv3,pv5,pv6) are quite good. Its good to hear that they are improving the quality for the latest PVs. Guess that will compensate on the higher pricing.

How about the facilities of the condos? Are they well-maintained and as promised by the developer (swimming-pool, gym, nursery, playground, etc)?

Btw are u the owner of the condo? If yes which pv are yours.

Mine PV still under-con, PV2, haha
My friend sister bought PV5 at 170k in 2004, now she married to Sabah and sell the house at 330k (fully furnished).
Earn a lot...

are you plan to getting any??

Actually my friend did bought pv2 recently. Im just doing research on behalf. Btw is there going to be any skydeck/lounge whatsoever for PV2. Coz seems from the brochure / booth-expo that it will, thought its not written.

Hows the facilities of the other PV (pv3/pv5/pv8))? As if im not mistaken u'd experience living in this area. How bout the management and securities appointed by PV? Is it up to the par of other equivalent condos.

First hand experience with PV8 today, visited a friend, magnificient view of greens and the city I must say. Only thing I noted is the lack of security monitoring, as I move in freely to the lift and a little kid opened the door for me despite needing an access card to enter the area. haha.
dont even need to register myself at the guard house.

well .. maybe its one off but I am not too convinced with this bunch of guards guarding my property nonetheless. Lol.

Other than that, I think this area has the potential, close 'jagung view' aka close to the city, ever improving facilities in the area as well decent access roads (still feel jalan genting klang could be better), like this place already.

PV8 seems quite a good deal. Nice view and quite spacious. Just the layout a bit weird. Yeah I guess the security personnel could be better.

PV2 progressing quite fast. Already at 6th floor.

Just wondering if u purchase for Investment or own stay ?
If own stay then i think PV8 is the best ..
if for investment, maybe u should go for PV13 ?? it's at Jln genting Klang and it's easier to rent out the unit there ...

Btw, dot you guys think it's a bit high density for all these PV ? No doubt the value has been appreciate alot .. but i personally think high density = hard to maintain = value depreciate in future ..

i dont know .. just my 2 cents !!

If you insist to get a unit there, go for PV8 !!

Was there last Sunday and was on the verge of taking a remaining unit of PV2 but I didn't cos I wanted to check the area first since I was not familiar with the location.

PV8 is really nice and looks grand from the outside but there is no way I can afford subsale of 420-480k with my budget.

Anyone here actually lived in one of the PVs in this area before? How's the morning traffic? Community? management? facilities?

Just wondering, how much u can get for PV 2 then ??

I stayed there before!

Morning Traffic - for me, is okay coz i start working at 9:30am, so i depart from house at 8:45 to 9am...drive smoothly
Management - as usual, mgmt staff famous LAZY and working slow, i believe everywhere the same..
Facilites - normal also...pool, gym, children playground...

Yeah I would agree with that, for PV8.

Well Melati's PVs are nearer (walking distance) to LRT so that actually a plus point for those who prefer taking public transport to work.

Not sure about the density theory. Maybe some experienced owners in lyn can share with us.

So did u take the PV2 unit? Well the price will escalate in the future with Sime Darby projects coming up very nearby.

Few months back the price was about Rm270 psft. Not sure whats the price now as the office already start selling the Sentul Prime and taken out the PV2 priceboard.

Added on June 2, 2011, 11:14 amHow about before 8am? Hurm that should be a concern and PV should improve on that. How about the residents staying there?

from outsider POV.

too crowded...a lot of blocks here and a lot of foreigner

.but anyway excelent location.near to school and within walking distance to lrt.

near mrr2/duke/karak

for price tag of 400k is too expensive as the place located in suburban area./far from kl centre

It is high density but so far while passing through this area never seen any traffic congestion in and out the area. But then never pass by during exactly working hour (7-9am).

Well outskirt of KL area cost more than that in some places.

Dear all,

I am interested to let go my booking unit
plantinum lake city condo phase 6


KLCC view

interested plz pm me thanks

Price?

Added on October 24, 2011, 1:01 pmProgress update is about level 12 i think, or maybe more. Anyone know the ceiling height for PV2 unit?

This post has been edited by deed: Oct 24 2011, 01:10 PM

Should be lvl15. BTW saw a food stall nearby the entrance. Hopefully it is just temporary to cater for the construction workers, else will be an eyesore.

Which stall? Beside mcd?

hello the places is not suburb.and not far from kl.u have check the places a not i study there when young now invest there.

Yes that one. Has it always been there? Wonder how it allow to operate, next to petrol station and construction sites, and in front of bomba station.

i think dat one not temporary stall to cater site workers la..at night oso many people go to eat there, including me..LOL!

Why u surprise with the location? In msia, beside big longkang oso got.under flyover oso got..where got demand, the stall will be crowded of people.

Well not to say im surprise, but i hope that it won't be around after pv2 completed. Else customers of the stall might simply park their cars near the entrance.

Anyway how the food is it good?

This post has been edited by ladylike: Oct 31 2011, 12:48 AM

The stall will not cause a problem..in fact, future pv owners will bring the prob when they park beside the road and the area surely crowded.for kenari apartment where i'm rent here, we got no issue about car park.u cant see cars park outside apartment area..

btw, foods there not bad..hehehehe

I asked before, that stall canot be "halau" coz tat piece of land not belong to PV.
So...the only thing you can do is request DBKL to "halau" them..
BUT...again, political issue will raise up again...coz the stall belongs to bumiputra...

The main prob for me is not car park, is hygiene...

+ 1

u know what is interesting about the stall? One of the workers is dbkl staff..he's doing part time at night.so, u can guess la about to report to dbkl....cheers!

Yes..the progress is sooo fast.i wonder where is the main access.? Is it at the stall there? If yes, later habis laaa..cars parked at outside.

The entrance is exactly next to the stall. Hopefully pv itself will complain if not might kacau the access for occupants later. Knowing one of workers is a dbkl staff can be a good news headline and maybe then they will take action~ Yes the progress is quite fast. Also interesting to see the development by sunway montana opposite of the road.

any PV2 owner here?

I am. Lvl6. Corner unit.

Sunway montana only? Sime darby? Metro kajang? Next few years, all area opposite of pv will be developed well..

Btw, when shall complete by schedule?

want to hold gathering? Block A Level 27

Added on November 1, 2011, 12:26 amQuartza mixed development opp. PV (retail shops, office buildings, school) as what i have seen in sales gallery lah...wondering how's sime darby doing now?

This post has been edited by fbjkl: Nov 1 2011, 12:26 AM

The one in front PV is Quartza? I thought is Sunway Montana. Wheres the sales gallery?

Sales gallery is on the way..betul2 opposite shoplot at pv

Level 15...Block B...

Yeah, should organise gathering...at least after we knw each other, we have the majority bargain power against developer (just in case)...

Yesterday I had a super funny dream , we (PV2 owners) holding banner at PV2 entrance, pointing the stall with some senator and take picture, naik surat khabar la......hahaha

PV2 Sales office said OCT 2013 wor...but seems the progress is faster than it is...

Wallaweh..same date with saville..but can see much different between both.

Yeah its good if PV owners can unite to ensure the development progress efficiently with good workmanship~ Your dream might be a reality in 3 years time if the stall still thr. Btw will there be any sky-garden as in the brochure illustration? PV2 webpage hardly stated the facilities for this particular project.

Yup PV2 supposed to complete by 2013. Think Saville progress quite slow.

Based on insider info, now they are already delay a bit..perhaps can reach at level 6 by this end of year.

I really hope tat stall gone or vanished in 2012 then...haha..

the sky garden ah? they actually cant really confirm whether there will build it but high chances, therefore they dun wan mislead ppl by inluding inside the leaflet ( they dun even have a proper brochure but still 99% sold)..crazy world !!

Btw, hw much is your house ya? Mine around RM268 psf including the car park...
Cant even find any new house with this pricing now...every new property launching also mostly RM300++ psf (far far away)...

Lets pray for that~ It will be good if they actually build the sky-garden, which will make PV2 different than other pvs. And might increase the value as well. Yeah tell me bout the brochure, some info even seems like cut-and-paste from lake city project.

Wah how come yours cheaper than mine. I bought at the same price psft on April, but then lower floor. When did u bought yours? Yup new launching prices are wayyyyy higher. Saville is one of them too. Thats y i chose PV. No offense Potenza10.

Btw, how much is the maintenance fees + sinking fund? Is it 0.15 or 0.20 psft? I forgot already.

yaaa...everyone have their reason.as long as we happy, no harm right?

but PV2 3d visuals is better quality comparing lake city..hope it's as beautiful as 3d shows, fingers crossed !



I bought bigger unit 1450 sqft , bought it July 2010.
Maint fee is 15 cents and sinking fund is 10% of maintenance fee, if not mistaken

True. As long as everyone satisfied with the purchase, and developer deliver what been promised. This area shall flourish and prosper~

Yeah hopefully its not just for 'visual purpose' and will be delivered as good or better than the visual impression as this will be their last masterpiece in this area~

Ic u bought it a year earlier. Quite a good price u got. I cud only afford lower level with the current price.. Oh well am still happy with my purchased~

Any idea about projects at the latest Phase 6?

That is located at Jln Genting Klang / Lake City. What would u like to know? Link PV Phase 6

Lake City PVs are fully-booked way before the launch. And they never contact any of the waiting-list too (coz I was once in the list). Are u one of the owner for that phase?

then i would be the lucky waiting-list then ;-)

Good for u. Thank god I didn't wait for their call and proceed with pv2~

What is the ceiling height for pv2? Anyone know

good luck to pv buyers..suppliers more than demands..now pv issue is bid and ask price is in big gap n not attractive in rental yield..

Is it somewhere near the new Giant there near the Honda showroom btw what is the total unit for this phase?

Any statistic figures on the supply and demand? mind to share?

I think should be 10.5 ft.

---

Added on November 8, 2011, 1:50 amYes any evident to support your statement for oversupply? From my observation seems pretty much occupied for pv5/pv6. Maybe someone who actually live there can comfirm.

What do u mean 'bid and ask price is in big gap'?

This post has been edited by ladylike: Nov 8 2011, 01:51 AM

Around 800 units for phase 6.

Thats quite good.

hello neighbour!!! block a level 27

Added on November 13, 2011, 10:09 pmI've just created an FB group for PV2 owner, lets gather more owner over there for closer interaction. You can find the group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/173780699382388/

Hopefully. But for now seems not many tmn melati pvs owner are active in online forum. Perhaps they do not realized the existence of thread on pv2...

yeap... i thought of printing a few notice about the FB group then hand over to PV office at Tmn Melati... not sure if they will layan or not

The expensive Sunway Montana development just opposite of PVs.

Are u sure it is 'just' opposite PV?

Ops sorry probably that is Quarza. Where is Sunway Montana?

This post has been edited by deed: Nov 21 2011, 02:29 PM

So what is the development opposite of MRR2 there actually?

From project signboard, it is Sime Darby project. I think next month the sales office will complete there.sunway montana a bit further, at the entrance of 3Residence..

Thanks for the clarification. Please update us here when the sales office is ready. Looking forward to check the details about SD project there and the promotion that will be given for soft launch~

Anytime...i will always teropong from taman melati..

Nice~ Btw where do u work at Potenza? Do u drive or take train? I am just wondering what the traffic like around the area at peak hour since u stay at the apartment in front of pv2...

ops..i am weekend husband only ..btw, my wife will take mrr2 and enter akleh from ampang and exit at jln sultan ismail and the traffic at mrr2 in the morning, u know lahhhh.

Wah so normal days ur wife alone. Salute her. Yeah traffic at mrr2 actually quite unpredictable even during off-peak. How bout the road around Melati there around PVs and ur current house during peak hour (morning and evening office hour)? Is it congested?

The road along kenari apartment beside bomba station there is not congested at all.but few times i went to small tesco or carrefour (cannot remember) at pv, car parked at outside is a normal view...and got a case, my wife's colleague who lives there and parked her car at outside suddenly 2 tyres of her car were stolen.pity of her.

What i can recall, mrr2 will start slow moving when arrived at keramat au exit area.this is kl direction lah..

Good to hear that the area is not congested. Is there any carrefour express there? Maybe Speedmart in front of the school is it. Pity ur fren...must had been expensive tyres to attract thief. Luckily it is compulsory for pv2 buyers to own 2carparks, hopefully will not congest the road with car parks by d roadside.

Btw the development of pv2 is damn fast. Might complete way early than 2013. Scared already thinking about having to pay full monthly-installment way earlier...

Oo yaa..its carrefour express.pv2 progress super damn fast compare to my saville

your unit is for rent or own stay? Btw, is there any good subsale for pv?

This post has been edited by potenza10: Nov 28 2011, 11:48 PM

Bought for own stay. Not sure if there any subsale for pv2...but there are quite a number for previous PVs (pv3,pv5,pv6,pv8). Try check propwall.my

anyone have any idea which PV is worth to buy for own stay? I just came across with PV3 when one of my friends posted the picture where they were doing the renovation.

Thus, i was kinda interested of knowing more on this condo. I'm currently seeking for condo, preparing for new marriage and building the very first family

Appreciate if someone can advice

Well if for long term u might as well get the recently completed PV8 or under-construction PV2. Not sure if there still any pv2 unit available, but from the PV website not yet 100% sold.

Agreed pv8 really look better (in term of facade and workmanship) than the previous phase, and hopefully pv2 as well. Guess as PV gain experience, they improve their development (which is a good sign). Yes think pv2 still have few units. Its 99% sold (as in pv website).

from what i see from iproperty, seems like the rental in PV8 cannot catch up with the property value there, i guess it is not a good place for rental investment?

What is the average rental rate for PV8 that u observed?

i think current market rental is good enough to cover launching price but not sub sale price

Sub Sale Price of a 1600 sqft unit RM 490,000
Bank loan(90% MOF, 4.5%, 40 yrs) RM 2,000 pm
Assuming Maintenance Fees is RM 300 pm
Average Market Rental of this size RM 1,900 pm
Cash Flow -ve 400

personal opinion good for capital gain since price psf is only ~ rm 310 and good for own stay too

This post has been edited by LightEnchanter: Dec 8 2011, 12:14 PM

I guess u answer your own question~ The market rental depend on demand. Since PV8 just completed therefore potential tenant has ample choices. However the rental rate might change once all the units are fully occupied. Difficult to predict the future rate. But for own stay should be good considering the bigger build-up compared to other development. And surrounding development might be a catalyst to the value of PVs in the future. Your call~

PV2 progress seems pretty fast.
It looks like able to complete by end of 2012. I wonder why developer keep claim that completed in OCT 2013?
They want to delay the key submission, so that bank can earn our interest "GAO GAO"?

any idea who will the the anchor tenant? im not familiar with setapak, mostly students? if student 1600 sqft kinda too big

I guess to be on the safe side developer put 3 years time frame. Seems like developer rushing to complete the building first if not the entire facade / landscaping. Saw them work even late evening don't know surrounding neighbours complaint or not.

Perhaps they foresee construction materials going to increase in the coming year which could affect their revenue? As long as the development within the time frame should be ok, wouldn't want the developer to rush construction and compromise the build-quality.

The developer juz came up with one standard design and build everything the same. Save a lot and profit margin is high

Couldn't agree more. They should improvise and be more creative. All the PVs look alike except little bit changes to the outer paint.

Not really. I think for PVs most are small families or single professional workers (sharing). Quite a number for own stay too. I think TAR students would prefer cheaper and nearer option to their college (eg danau kota or the house near wgsamaju station).

Just wondering is this info correct?

anyone bought the current Phase 6 ?
