You're correct.

L&G and Mayland are sleeping on the same bed.

(Mayland also owned some parcels on the opposite side of LDP, next to COuntry Heights Dsara, for their another condo-development)
I must say although it is next to Paradesa apartments and Loh&Loh's highend The Airie, Sri Damansara project, it is also located very near to the infamous Flora Damansara apartments.

did anybody go to the website? http://www.damansaraforesta.com/

i think my PC got flash problem or something..can't see anything.

i stay nearby there.showroom almost finished.  when raining heavy, there road will be flooding with water..what the hell..no much forest at there..

I heard end of this month. 42 acres , proposing 12 block of condominium.

yes...correct.. after toll.
12 blocks? i dunno ..500 per sqf.. 1400sqf onwards >> rm700k.. crazy...those double storey house at sri damansara 750-800k...who will buy it? i doubt it..

L&G = Mayland

ya. the hill very steep. i am also very worried about it. it is situated on the top with 30% - 40% slope. but i see many rocks.
maybe the whole hill is rock based and that explain why the slope is so steep. and on this hill there is an ex quarry mine for rocks which further confirm this. The current plan is to build 28 storey building. the previous plan is 40 storey condo. and since it can hold a 40storey condo it should hold a 28 storey condo.

any in DP that matches the concept? 

Yea, i received that too. Downpayment RM10,000. Sure not? Or just booking fee only? After that, when signing SPA, ask u to pay the remaining of 10%.

And I didnt see any AP/DL written in the letter.

Who's this developer? Reputable?

AP/DL: Advertising permit/Developer license. This is required under the government HDA for any residential development.

Should visit the site for find out more. But seeing its gonna be RM600+ psf (based on the speculation above), definitely out of budget.
I think L&G should be paying alot in trying to building a retaining wall/other protection against the slope to build this. Hence reflected in the selling price.

I agree, Rm10k sounds more like booking fee. Most of the time, its refundable even u r able to show that bank reject your loan.
Normally those big developers like Sunway, etc. they will refund once u wanna cancel.

I think they want u to apply early as 2012 bank will be more strict in loan approval.

i think they would be crazy to sell it at 600psf (starting).... first of all, this is not low density ...42 acres per 2800 unit. about 70 unit per arce...to sell at this price at that location, i think it is better to be lower than 50 unit per acres...

secondly, the smallest unit is 1400 sq ft. so, even at 500psf, the starting price would be 700k and this is only the first block....are they expecting to eventually launching the last couple of block at 1200psf ?

Well, interesting to see what are they offering to sell at this price (600psf)....

register at their website....but the preview starting from 6-8th Jan. So i guess, you may call them directly.

the developer didnt want to reduce the number of units at 4000. it was forced to. and 4000 units is big unit. not smaller.

because resident object.

to a developer. no more news is good news. 

stated 10K for downpayment...? means only pay 10k to own a unit....

or what? Bye Bye Bye ...

Just get their invitation letter today... Delay so much... @.@"

500 psf... Really expensive... Build up from 1400 somemore... Which mean 700K per unit at least (Before discount).....

Really seem like too expensive for this area....

Anyway, will take a visit.... To see how is it going...

he might be right... if its booking fee only, there sure state booking fee instead of downpayment... maybe developer giving heavy discount...
