balloting does not necessarily mean expecting to sell out.
it cuts off runner and agents trying to q and sell bookings.
it allows a fair chance for all to pick the choicest units.
common after ballot, 50% remain for anyone to buy anytime.
of course, no guarantee the super-privileged won't get reserved bookings and discounts.

maybe wanna hold breath for a day or 2.

tmrw, we'll know if 1000 units of these 520psf sofos will get 20% or 80% booking.
either way, it will say everything about how the market is looking at the developer, the prop and the place.

if they can sign up gsc-parkson-harvey norman-tgif-tony roma, the signs are good.
mall special status, ada lesen for all food n beverage - may be the only 1 like that in all shah alam.
this place, either you love it or you hate it - now still same as 6-7 yrs ago.
many critics see nothing but klang and jungle still.

of the 2 blocks open, think still have about 20% available. choicest units, no more, of course.
5k discount for a short period now, i hear.
after mall opening in may and if seen to be good, remaining units probably will go fast...

there is one more block besides the two. "tre"(foil) = 3.
from the master model, looks like there are allocations for a few more further away, maybe in 10 yrs time...?

pretty much agree with you.

thought the smallest unit is 485sqft? still, rm500psf doesn't look the best bet for now.
which is probably the general view since it's not fully sold after a few months.
perhaps we will see which direction it will go after the mall opens next month.
if the mall do well, bosses and mgrs might want to live/office there.
if the mall fails, trefoil will fail with it.

in the bigger area, besides trefoil there are also similar choices in i-city, suria jelutong, etc. no shortage!

the show unit is genuine. the key is the id, how much you'r willing to spend to optimise the relatively small space.

right, many are having this "wait and see" atiitude for now, despite the rm5k rebate over chinese ny period.
i'm actually hesitating on a corner unit.
will hv to monitor if the remaining units start to be taken up quick assuming the mall opening shows promise.

yr missus... older phases... you mean the houses? that will be a very diff consideration.
houses are for tradiitonal living; trefoil like other soho/sofo/sovo is for busy bizpeople, youngsters and maybe older folks - for convenience sake. rental may not look too good now, but maybe some years later. it's all about how well the mall turns up...

the mall appears to have had a good start, trefoil sales moved!
convention center under constr, next is hotel, co. hqs.
blks a+b now a>80% sold, left only high flrs and corners.
still considering a corner but come with only 1 parking lot.
sales people says blk c launching soon, 15% price up...

anyway, 23rd june 7pm, michael learns to rock doing concert in the park.

frankly, i am not so sure if trefoil will do worse than jati-baiduri.

diff approach - one is commercial, right next to the action, there is bus service running from kl sentral.

jati-baiduri apts are 2km away, 99% investors, no shops, no schools, no busess, thousands more to come in the next 5 years.

hope both works well!!
