Dun worry on graveyard lah...it is not really that concern matter by house buyer now, nowadays hantu lagi takut manusia ya, human come hantu janji lari kuat-kuat!!
Nolah the most concern for us shd be flood issue coz AI is just neigjbourong the river. But I think shd be alright.

Opposite Bdr Kinrara also has a piece of reserved cemetery land, nobody cares bout it, and I was told bh a land surveyor that the gomen has sold it to private developer.

No worries! Real estate is tangible, good is good, no good is no good. Quality products will be able to sell by itself, seeing is believing. Healthy forum welcome constructive opinions..

2) A1-11-2S - 22'x80' - 80 units

Precinct 2

5) A2-02©-2S&3S - 25'x85' - 92 units

Precinct 3

2) A3-03-2S - 26'x85' - 60 units
3) A3-02-2S - 28'x80' - 126 units

Note : Precint 3 lot size and units available are estimated, pending I&P announcement. IMHO, the best and safer bet in AL I&P is Precint 2 which is away fr Mosque, relatively highland, superb land size, nearer to Bungalow and commercial zones.

The launching is considered slow, judging fr the speed like this, in order to launch all the remaining phases, 3 more years to go. This is why I say Pentas sun sale price will reach the peak by 2015, for investor, it is advisable to keep at least till 2014. my 2 bakuli

It is a shame that I&P is not "keen' to sell off the unsold units in hand, I dunno why? In my eye, they are having a good products but has no idea how to position it, location is right, pricing is right, product quality if superb, by right shd be able to fetch a higher price and creating a BBB mode among buyers. Fr this Alam Impian case, you shd know that "Marketing" is a very important element that every developer shd emphasis, nowadays whoever master in A&P and factor in flexible finance packaging , who will be the winner in the end. SPS is a classic example.
For house buyer who buy for own stay, just buy early. For investor, by right shd bet Precinct 3 becoz it reach the end of the whole development, a sudden price appreciation effect will happen. However when I study further, 25'x85' is a size that no one shd miss, it will be very scarce in the future, if can hold 5 years, the return is very promising!

Frankly if m in the sales team, it could be a disaster to house buyers...
p/s : how to sell at this "low" price?

Agree with you in certain extend. But pls get the fact right before comment further.
B4 Pentas 25'x85' launched, the previous launches since 2006 were :-
1. 22' x 80'
2. SD 40'-50' x 80'
3. 24' x 80'
4. 22' x 80'
5. 22' x 80'
6. 22' x 80'
7. 24' x 80'
8. 24' x 80'
9. 24' x 80'
10. Pentas 1 25' x 85'
11. Pentas 2 25' x 85'
12. Pentas 3 25' x 85'
......
So, did I&P start bigger size 1st or later?

Note : The Precinct 1 remaining 22' x 80' was due to land issue, according to SA, not very sure bout that.
I wonder is TTDI needs I&P or vice versa? Unless TTDI own a large piece of commercial land like SPS in Setia Alam, and well develop it like SA, otherwise I dun see your point here.

As an investor, I must say Setia Alam is very successful township, no doubt! Credit to SPS who does a great job! I dun see AI will be able to match Setia Alam in commercial play, no way even after 10 years! But the question is why must we compare Setia Alam alone? Can anyone tell me which new township has the potential to overtake SA in terms of township planning and value creation? Past is past, I never look back, if someone ask me now "shd I buy the landed property 22'x75' in SA or 25'x85' in AI" for investment (bout the same price), I must say AI has a greater chance to achieve higher gain than SA.
Let's see wat will happen after 5 yrs...

!!

In terms of value for money, Pentas is definitely the choice one. I visited D'Island today, to my surprise, LBS 4th launch :-
Tenure : Leasehold
Land size : 24' x 80'
Built up : 4200 sf -
No of storey : 3
No of units : 60
Price : RM1.7 mil up
As at today : 40 units sold!!

Can you sense anything? it's a clear signal, Superlink homes which offer >3000sf b/up, 2/3 stry, 5-7 rooms will be a future trend and demand is assured.
Fr Kinrara Residence, Seri Jalil, Mansion, Tree Residence, USJ Heights, Empire Residence, D'Island, Temasya Glenmarie, Reed@Lake Field, Reflection, Delora are all receiving great response and selling at record price! The only exceptional case are The Glades@Putra Heights, Qaseh Kinrara, both either toooo expensive or due to terrible design. The biggest section in landed residential is 2-storey link, however 4R3B will no longer able to meet modern living style. 5R5B is the answer!

Just discuss some matters pertaining to commercial development with my contact, they are in the process to finalise the hypermarket operator (I think is Tesco) and the international school, the foreign operator has just presented their business module to I&P head of marketing lately, I was told that both are confirm players, but pending for location selection.
Just to share the pictures again. On 5/10/2011, I saw 2 Englishmen together with I&P staff discussing on setting up international school in the sales office. AI has a plot of land for that purpose.

Ok notes taken. I will review this post 5-10 years later...

Remember 10 years ago, how people comment Malton on developing Bkt Rimau? Many said that who want to live there? some more asking Taiwanese (foreigners) to stay so far...bla bla.. can you see what happen now? The Taiwanese village is doing quite well I think.
International school, the mkt catchment is not limited ti AI alone right? Never say never lor

Location near the mosque is definitely a negative effect, it will make the price drop at bout 5%-10%. However it is not that bad as what we think, so long it is located out of 100M in radius, the mkt price will not be much affected. Sri Petaling price (big mosque), Bdr Kinrara (Big mosque), Sri Damansara (Big Mosque), are those house price cheap?
p/s : Agent just transacted 2 SD at 3.4 mil each in BK (new), quite near to the mosque also (bout 1,137m fr mosque), another Qaseh SD at 3.45 mil (970m fr mosque). Pentas is 1,483m fr the mosque. End of day, accessibility and the house design are matter.

The most serious issue affecting property prices in term of seriousness :
1. House defect - Settlement due to underground water, or major structural crack due many factors
2. Landslide area
3. Haunted
4. Direct Facing graveyard (not referring to cemetery reserved land)
5. T-Junction
6. Flood
7. Direct facing HTC
8. Direct facing / blocked by overhead bridge
9. Direct facing mosque
10. Bad management (condo)
11. Mining land - some claim got radiation effect
12. Direct facing Highway
13. Direct facing Factory / shoplots (crime concern)
14. Bad house design (like the Cheras Disneyland house)
15. Leasehold

etc etc...

Conclusion ; There is no perfect house in the market, if you really found one, the price must be "Perfect" too!

>95% of Kinraa subsale sold to non-muslim. >95% the non muslim mind to buy house very near to mosque, but what make them buy those houses although it is near mosque? Becoz there are more important factors needed to be considered in purchasing a house for own stay, wat I mean if one insist somewhere totally away fr mosque, they face other problems as well. Sri Petaling and Kinrara are selling so well / high indirectly signal that mosque is really not that matter.
Mind to share where is your choice area?

Totally agree, till today I still dun understand why the gomen kenot plan a proper parking for prayers, it can be planned & organised properly. It always jam jam jam during Friday praying time

We are just pointing the issue of traffic, how nice if every mosque also build a basement car park for prayers to park, good for everyone, same goes to all the religious buildings, I saw prayer having difficulty finding parkings every Friday.
parking is just a simple problem, solve it, why let it be like that avoiding it. For old mosque, seems like nothing can be done, new one shd be planned properly.
The smell & sounds is the samelah, we must understand and be tolerate. No issue bout that.

Why leh? How to do an analysis fr this total construction cost? In my rough estimation, both are bout the same, Pentas 3 command higher cost due to bigger built up. But I still can't figure any breakdown analysis fr the above data.

I do not know how the pentas 3 is bigger in bu, I think may be comes fr car porch, Pentas 3 porch cover area looks sligtly bigger, do you feel that, my master?

Let me go to the site to inspect, may be got basement swimming pool yo
