type 3.082607,101.665587 in google maps

The development is on the existing tamil school or adjacent ?

brochure: http://www.benteng8.com.my/benteng8_111025.pdf

anyone familiar with this developer? seems likes nvr heard bfore ler...

Design looks nice...similiar to those klcc or MK highrise condo design..but 10 units per floor...that high dense man..

total 220 units..still reasonable i think...depends hw many lifts serve per floor

was told from 550k, 1 carpark per unit

u all plan to stay or flip?

is it accessbile directly from NPE? traffic might be a problem during peak hours.

price starts from 550k? renting can be a problem.

1 car park per unit? potential problem again... good luck!

is it worth for 2bedroom and 1 car park with the price tag? what is the selling point? by looking the e-brochure (looks like amateur work..LOL), the main point is feng shui of the river facing home.

Got 1 utility room mah... but from my experience, the iver smells!

What is the different between bedroom and utilities room? any ideas? why they dont straight away put 3 bedroom?

wow..... almost rm600 psf? Rental returns maybe less than 5%.

Joey Yap also says Plaza Pantai's feng shui beri good kekeke

In this area my personal benchmark is against Seringin initial entry, anything more expensive, not more value adding, no go for me.

I would be surprised if there are BBB fever here.

friend: heya~ how u been? so where do u stay now?
you: long time no see man~ i'm good, staying at old klang road, benteng8.
friend: ben10 wat?



at RM550k entry price... er...

Entry price tinggi.......may be ada ben10 guarantee for safety add the sentimental value.......

1 car park.....may be by default. Can buy additional car park may be. How much they sell for carpark? Any idea?

Ground floor has retail shops, I heard not for sale.

ben10 already famous, lots of advertisement mah.
So benteng cannot be cheap also.

benten8 is higher class than ben10? kids love it.

name bit funny comes with a expensive price tag.

first question... who's the developer?

I called and they said factory owner (land owner) is the developer. Problem is the old factory (can see big old machines) still sits on the land. Wonder when are they going to demolish it and start work.

Anyone has any updates on this project? Tergendala?

it sure looks like it.

Website is updated: http://www.benteng8.com.my/

Saw a marketing agent setting up booth in Yaohan OUG like nearly a year ago, I guess the reception was not so good.

lol

This weekend official launch

Today went there.

Overall are okay. Not very impressive for that kind of price.
Concerns:
1. Maintenance fee is 0.38 sen not yet include sinking fund
2. developer is 1st time building property (show unit is run quite badly) They didnt really show what is included and what is not. Sale agent also dont really know.
3. From the show unit, the material are not made out of good quality. Considering the price, I expected better.

Though with all these, it is almost 60% sold out. But it look like a sticker game as today is the first day of launching.

For that type of price, rather go for KL South or Avantas along Old Klang Road....

If really 60% sold out, then very likely it's sticker game. With that sort of pricing and current investment climate, it's not possible to achieve 60% sales.

For this price can't they design and print better quality brochure ?

is the development too near to the river? not sure the soil can support the building structure. afraid landlside on river bank or flood. I heard that area prone to flood and it happened before.. what are your thoughts?

As far as I know, this project is not located too close to the river, as there's a building behind. I do concern about the smells too, but I believe the government is trying to improve the river quality by doing the "river of life" project.

No doubt to say that the location is good, traffic congestion? I believe all the condos are facing the same issue nowadays. I only concern "window to window" problem, I hate it becoz nowadays high-density buildings always face this issue and I don't want to pull down the curtain and having with no views due to privacy.

I don't understand why people are so concerning about the showroom quality, it is just a showroom, they won't include the showroom finishes to the unit, in fact, I would like to know the quality of the shell and core finishes e.g. skim coat, plaster and paint? windows?, quality ironmongery, sanitary fittings etc.

If possible, I would like to know the brand of the lift, some developer will use dodgy lift, U might spend 15min waiting time to wait for the lift especially if your unit is at level 32.

the quality of the building is determined by the reliable building contractor, and common facilities such as gym room, security, main hall, etc... would determine the increment of the property price in the future too.

There is no wrong about this property, people might in doubt about the quality of the building, I would say if this is the first building to this developer, they will ensure all the fit outs are in tip top qualities so that they can take this building as the successful project to market their up coming projects.

hope that helps... ^^

maybe they only have this piece of land n try to hit n run . i just say maybe .....

I believe the piece of land is owned by the previous metalworks factory. It could be that they are hoping to jump into the property gravy train to reap cool profit...

Not bad ! First post already can write so long about this benteng8.


I wouldn't trust the gowemen able to pull off anything close enough to improve the rivers in KV.
People's normally associate the showroom quality with the actual unit quality. That's the purpose of "show"room, ie to show people.
There is no relationship between first project vs tip top quality.
The marketing pitch of first project developer will normally pitch that, but the actual fact tuns out there is absolutely no relationship between the two. It's just marketing pitch.

Your info won't help..... With your profile pic, ppl will choose not to believe whatever u say......

Hahaha...yeah i was thinking likewise. At least use better and more decent photo.

maintanence is high for new prop now a days... haiyz

this part of location, morning come out from guard house already stuck in jam...haha
evening will jam until scott garden pula..

want to go PJ or Puchong also cannot...need to uturn at OUG junction instead unless u brave enough to cut into fast lane immediately and make a turn at Puchong junction...

I purchase properties based on facts and figures, I'm a design development architect, mostly dealing with developers' projects including East & West Malaysia properties.

There is not right or wrong as every property will have their pros and cons, I share my opinion because I don't raise superficial or broad statements by stating the traffic jam since it is a common issue in KL.

They are revising the design of the common facilities at this stage which I think they should have done it earlier before getting DO. 80% piling is done so far. Provisional sum given to this project in sanitary fittings and ironmongery are around mid to high end level but actual wise need to be confirmed.

This project has been delayed for almost a year due to the land issue that need to be surrendered to DBKL for road widening in the future since 2011. The layout is firmed since BP submission and AP have been approved, the condo facade design might need to be revised if possible (above image was a proposal back in 2012), the podium design is totally obsolete because the developer would like to make a luxury feeling by adding big glass and LED on the facade (not practical). Common area such as swimming pool is not firmed yet but PC sum has been allocated.

To smokey, If you think traffic jam is an big issue, then don't live in KL, I wonder why people spend RM1200 per sqft just to live in KL central even though the traffic is 10 times worse than suburb area. Oh well, I will leave it to you to decide, no hard feeling

To AppreciativeMan, please don't judge the book by its cover, U have no idea about this project ya

To zachozoi, I agree with you that the maintenance fee is on a higher side, perhaps they can confirm further if it comes with better facilities, like gym room with A/C, mini library,mini cinema room...etc.. Oh well, bare in mind, RM0.20 per sqft for maintenance, the MA might be facing a big issue as they can't afford to employ good security services. but I believe future JMC will work hand in hand to improve the facilities once the condo get extra funding.

To puchongite, I disagree with you, the showroom is just to give U an idea about the size of an actual typical room layout. according to HDA, that doesn't mean what it show is what U get in your unit except the shop drawings stated in your SPA, developer can spend a million ringgit for showroom renovation, if they include all the interior fit-out to the unit, kindly let me know, coz I will purchase 10 units. But I do agree with U regarding the tip top quality factor, unless stated clearly, otherwise chances to this promise would be 50/50.

Just sidetrack a bit, you seemed to be able to present your argument in a logical manner, but why the photo in your avatar?

Is this residential title or commercial title? Land size? 220 units?

Perhaps they should cut the facilities as not many residents are using the in house facilities keep the basic facilities will do.

With a minimum salary policy, security fees will be increased over the time.

By the way, where is the exact location? Lol

just right beside Police Station OKR

looks gud

Podium is commercial so I would say it is a service apartment. The design is not firmed yet as the design is still revising. People may not so aware about this project because the developer didn't appoint a good marketing team to polish the property.

by the way.... it is so hard to find such a "unique" avatar that could make people vomit, funny, disturbing, and a mixture of hatred... LOL~~

Hmmm I thought it was your personal photo. Is it not ?

LOL

i pity the developer of Benteng 8, i hope they can make a statement to declare that u are not their architect or promoter . i really feel nauseated whenever i see ur avatar . *gags*

Oh well, I'm here to provide whatever info I know related to this project without prejudice.

Oh well, but u makes ppl lose appetite in reading your info....

who is the developer behind this project and any links to their track record or what they have been doing previously?

Phew luckily I read all these on my phone without having to look at the photo

The developer are Premium Developer Sdn Bhd.

They are the No.1 Manufacturer in Malaysia, called Toong Foong Industrial Company, manufacturing wire mesh products.

What have they done?
The entire stretch of Johor to Singapore highway, the side fencing are all manufactured by them.
That's their core business.

Now Premium Developer Sdn Bhd. are 1st time developing this project (Benteng8)

how's the sales status so far, anyone here know?

This project can be deem as Gone with the Wind

Last update was sold many units to "oversea investors" wor....though this project is so near to Petalz, but the end results very far apart. It shows that not only location matters, marketing, promotion and concepts equally important.

if the developer has financial means, they can continue to build the condo nicely, I believe eventually will have buyer geh... As the psf will seem to be cheaper and cheaper...

Was wondering y Ppl is not interest in this project

I believe the micro-design is not ready yet. Therefore, you may notice the design will keep upgrading before the end of construction period.
Furthermore, this is the first project to Premium developer, Marketing strategy may be lack of concern. 60% of the units are expected to be oversea buyers.

Wat attract oversea buyers to buy dis 1?

I perceive it would be the mutual trust between the developer and the foreign buyers mainly from China. Although RM550-600 per sqft is not considered high in the current market value, but to foreign buyers it will be really cheap and the S&P transaction could have even be easier if the developer is using the bank of China.

As long as the sales target reach 60% before the date of completion, I don't think the developer would be worried of..
