One of the reason they are not building smaller units is because residential titled land is guided by density. Meaning to say there is a limit to unit per acres. Normal density will range from 60-100 units per acre. Based on 40 acres and 2800 units , they are getting arou d 80 units per acre. If they build small unit they will earn less as the no of units is fixed. But the size of the units is not fixed. This may be one of the reason they build a bigger unit ie 1,400 sf and 1,600 sf.
Those in town launching small units is usually commercial title and is guided by plot ratio.
Normal plot ratio is 1:4 in town. Plot ratio allows the developer to build based on area. Let's say you can build 500,000sf of NFA, they will surely build smaller unit as there is no cap on the number of unit. Of course some area you gotta look at height restriction and also special conditions ie next to the palace, embassy etc.

just to add.. from my limited knowledge..

plot ratio and density-ratio are usually applied together.. and yes, usually in commercial, the measure is plot ratio.. however, residentials built on commercial-titled land will still have to adhere to the density-ratio.. and density-ratio itself can also be defined by "x units / acre" or "y people / acre"..

and generally.. to throw everything wide open.. compensation factors like the appended comes into play in determining final number of units..

1. the size / configuration (rooms to a unit) which dictates the ppl/acre ratio..
2. carpark allocation, distinguished between covered and un-covered - the covered may consume part of the plot-ratio provision..
3. the height restrictions as u mentioned, and approved land-use..
4. the set-back requirements, including in the jungle, which all these may be offset, increasing or decreasing the final combination of units and sizes..

and many more..

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.
Damansara Rock quarry used to be operated by IJM for many yrs before LDP was opened

Anyone checks with L&G about the distance btw DF and the ex quarry? if nearby, then worthwhile to check if the DF hill is stable after of years of hill blastings due to quarry operation.

i think not really safe to assume that the same soil composition can hold the same capacity, vis-a-vis a 28 and 40-sty building even if it's right next to each other.. i remember in 20-trees west, sdb did emphasized that its site will not be affected by landslides / construction of neighboring projects.. the basis of their claim is more inclined towards the proven-technics, best-practices deployed to construct hill-slope developments, considering the existing land conditions.. of coz, the min requirements thru soil-tests, the natural surrounding walls, the density of the trees forest etc. will ultimately tell which are the most suitable approaches.. these inter-dependency factors are very cruicial imho, re foresta.. anw, just purely from common view, not trying to sound like an expert.. sweat.gif
