In 2007-2008, there were people in Bdr Kinrara questioned the same thing "can it justify RM700K price tag when vp if not even G+G"
Remember few mths back when Temasya Glenmarie launched? 28'x70' (1.0 mil) and 120'x70' (1.7 mil), someone also questioned the same thing "can it justify RM1.0mil price tag when vp if not even G+G?", few thousands turned up for the balloting, those guys silent & speechless.
I bet in 2016-2018, someone will say again "can it justify RM1.5mil price tag when vp if not even have guard hse?"

Fenced and gated is definitely a BIG bonus to Pentas. i am not developer thus kenot give any promises. My calculation is, even Pentas is withoiut fence, it is still worth buying. The future mkt (buyers) will be those staying in a normal link house who is seeking to upgrade to SD.

Great!! It is very nice to hv 12ft ceiling height, it gives more space. Indeed Pentas 1&3 design is quite average, the best part is the master bedroom, very big. Timber flooring shd be standard. I foresee I&P will give better quality for Pentas 3 in terms of sanitary fittings, doors or lock sets.
The double ceiling family hall for Pentas 2 is another selling point, owner can modify a bit to add one more utility rooms on top become 4+2.

Very defensive leh...

Clay is of course better in terms do hardness, sound insulation and better in heat insulation

More things to consider, so far I hv not seen a perfect link houses being built.
1. Clay brick is definitely better than sand brick.
2. Roof truss - Timber / Light weight steel truss
3. Roofing tiles - concrete / clay
4. Piping - steel / ABS
5. Flooring - parquet / laminating / solid timber (narrow / wide strip)
6. Sanitary fittings - Normal / quality
7. Wall finishes - Skim coating?
8. Roofing heating resistant - Heat Resistant Sheet installed?
9. Flooring tiles - Hardness / Durability / glossiness / stain resistance etc
10. Type of door / gate / handrail
11. Fence - porch fence + backyard fence
12. Front gate imprint pavement
13. Ceiling height = more space

All I can say Pentas fit 90% of the above, selling <RM300/sf, where to find?

Next one shd be 22'x80' (Precinct 1), or 24'x80 (Precinct 2).

Dunno ler, Precinct 1 too near to mosque, not to my liking

Ya I think he means kalsa brick. Kalsa has been an alternative for clay brick lately, due to shortage of supply.
In my opinion, I am more concern on roofing tiles, clay roof tiles is NOT very common in use even though for SD / bungalow project, 70% of the heat is generated through roof top, clay tile helps to filter heat and hardness ensure durability. Most importantly clay roof tile ensure color freshness, the entire piece of tile is made by clay (red in color) while concrete tile is coated on the surface, after 7-8 yrs, the color will fade and become darken, it made a Taman / hse looks old.
Nowadays landed property value can achieve greater appreciation are due to 3 main factors :-
1) G+G / F+G
2) Neatness - all house design synchronized
Freshness - Clay roof tiles
Cleaniness - Road curb / standard road pavement
3) Township scale - DPC / Setia Alam / Mutiara Damansara / Sri Tanjong are the top 4 most successful concept I named in this country. Hopefully AI can achieve at least 40% of the above would be good enuf.

Today's when we talk bout how well a house/Taman being maintained are determined by 3 aspects :-
1. Roof color
2. Road pavement - more specifically the design of road curb and standard imprint outside the gate, systematic and Syncronized pattern produces neat and cleanliness feeling.
3. Flat roof car porch - those old house with pitched roof design are not popular anymore. The worst part is when someone change the pitched roof to flat roof, it looks weird and ugly (different look fr neighbors).

Added on May 27, 2012, 5:21 pmAgree that laminated flooring allow more choices in color selection, it is widely used by interior designer as it is flexible in color and texture. I hv seen very good engineered wood but it needs very good workmanship, if not the end result wouln't be good.
Solid merbal timber / teak wood gives a very narural feeling and last longer. Those wide strip timber are verrry costly indeed, it could cost 100K alone just for a normal SD. (depends on the type of wide and dimension).

Chief, I tot GI Pipe is in history now? Will get rusted. ABS / PA would be common and more lasting, I heard a contractor say it can last 100 yrs no leaking problem, dunno true or not?

Pentas 1 best selling point is the facade, trust me.

Taikor, indeed I rate the "void area" bout 7'x10' next to the staircase, which give the feel of double ceiling height as the 2nd best selling point for Pentas 1 you know? Then followed by the glass roof top at the stair as 3rd best feature.

Correct, Pentas 3 and 2 has the locality advantage over Pentas 1. Pentas 3 material used could be better I think

Slightly higher ground and away fr main road. AI elevation is relatively low compare to Subang, range fr 18m - 50m, Pentas1 is bout 20m-25m which I think is not high enuf.

I never test b4, perhaps google earth may get rough estimation, Kemuning area I dun really like coz certain areas are sitting on peat soil land. I prefer cut land

SPBB, how is Pentas 3 sales?

Taikor? "Tai Yee Lone" may be..

This info shd be correct.
We use to sell I&P new house prior to the VP for many years (since 2000), I hv sold many of them. Quote an example, Kinrara BK5 Sentosa, developer launch Sept 2009, in Dec 2009 we already transacted the 1st sub-sale, upon VP in 2011, more than 20 units hv been sold.
AI is not Kinrara, the entire residential development is only 50% completed, this kind of early sales not easy as developer still has many phases launched in future, unless the calling price is like 830K-850K for Pentas 1, that could possible to secure sub-sale buyer.
The advantage of 1st owner to dispose off the under construction house is for him to obtain a new loan (to buy another property). Although he is only getting 10% payment before the VP.
