Bought a 1990sf unit today after a tedious 12mths search of the right property. I like Zefer for a couple of reasons, to mention few
- the flexibility of having 2 units in 1; u get the luxury of choice to either rent the main or the studio unit out if not both
- low density compared to the surrounding condos..6 units per floor. I can totally live with that!
- the hilly terrain promotes better ventilation and oh well good views are proven to be therapeutic
- low price psf for its low density (mine comes to approx. RM360 psf after disc)
- the nature of the built up. larger units call for less investors = less competitions = less nuisance upon VP
- low start up cost and ISS is totally a bonus
I have also read a lot about the numerous concerns voiced primarily on the poor workmanship of Atmosfera and past Villamas projects - rest assured the main con is a different sub-contractor and we can only hope for the best. I brought my brother to the site (he's a C&S engineer from Sunway Construction) and to my surprise preliminary checks look all good
slope safety wise, it is very safe as Villamas is using pre-stressed drilled spun concrete piles instead of conventional piling (most high rise including Atmosfera) hence it is thrice the time safer in terms of stability..
foundation wise, Zefer is built on gravel/coarse soil (half rocks half Earth) which is one of the safest foundation to be built on..it is definitely safer than any buildings constructed on ex-mining land or sandy ground (Sunway).
My only main concern is just traffic congestion but I grew up in USJ so I guess alil congestion wont be too much of a setback. beggars cant be choosy right
cant wait for Zefer to be completed in 2 yrs!
Indeed i quite like the concept as well.. As if u r rich enuf, u can use that studio as ur own study room and with addidtion the furniture is already provided by villamas. No need to rent out.
