Added on July 2, 2012, 4:52 pmYou can see the loji if you turn left into the shoplots immediately after the Petronas station. Get out of the car and walk towards the edge, you will see the river and the loji is across the river.

The 3 blocks having the above best view and best smell should be Block B, C and D

Sifu, in your expert opinion what is the reasonable price psf?

For the 700 sq ft small unit, read that it is RM11 psf per floor up. So assuming if level 1 is RM700 psf then level 15 (top floor) will be RM854 psf

Added on July 5, 2012, 3:49 pmJust read that there will be a 12 storey 180 units serviced apartment at aragreens village on same concept like the the Ascott managed one at HSC Jalan Ampang. So if short term stay, these people will actually stay at the serviced apartment right?

Aslo read from HSC website that the Ascott one is having 80%-90% occupancy, sure boh??

How to get the good rental? Or there will be many visitors or their family who prefer to stay in Aragreens than the service apt. Then rent out RM1,000 per nite to these people, FATT loh!!

Almost sold out means still have small unit available at developer? Thought all with stickers. Sticker game?

For small unit, Block D face river, Block E face future Villamas condo...not so good view

There will be a Tesco near Oasis. Any news when is the target opening?

So touching

Developer with passion and not $!!!

Sure boh???

Believed that love is in the eye of the beholder!

As a man, i will never understand why a lady will spend thousand of dollars to buy a LV bag

Aragreens could be a LV bag to some of those that love it and hence value its offerings and are willing to pay the price

Whether Aragreens will become a collection item, time will tell

But like a LV bag, there only need a handful of people to appreciate it and in the case of Aragreens, 700 purchasers plus future purchasers who fall in love with LV bag after touching it for the first time in their life...

Mind if I ask what is the difference between the above packages with the one before this and offered since the last pre-view from end of June?

Why they say Block D price is cheap? How much was the % price increase from Block D to E and to F? Any info?

Any news from anyone on the maybank credit card promo?

Was there +ve response from the developer?

Any news on launch of 4th block?

How was the sales of Block F?

Believed that they will get all the purchasers who have booked to sign S&P before the new block launch

Check out their website under facilities http://www.aragreens.com/multi-generatonhomes.html

I think they should apply for electricity and water charges with TNB and Syabas to be under residential rate

Think URL not ready yet

Got the brochure

"a hotel inspired living experience"

Grand concierge, 3 tier security, biological pond, sky garden, mini jungle, yoga studio, herbs garden, jogging path, sunbathing deck, glass walled gymnasium overlooking a crystalline infinity pool

Believed that some units might face the loji across the river...

Wonder what is this hotel inspired scheme?

Added on August 29, 2012, 5:09 pmFound this while google. 30% of aragreens purchaser need to be foreigner??

Source: Star Mar 17

The Ara Greens Wellness City project in Ara Damansara will have to fulfil 62 conditions set by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) before the development can begin.

HSB Development Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Dr Y. C. Lim said one of the conditions was that the developer must ensure that the project brought in at least 30% of foreign buyers.

In the original plan, the project comprises six blocks of 15-storey service apartments, a four-storey medical centre, a 12-storey service apartment on a two-storey commercial podium and a two-storey basement carpark.

During the five one-stop centre (OSC) meetings and after two briefings with residents, the developer has agreed to reduce the number of apartment units from 780 to 700, have more open space, increase the number of parking bays and enhance landscaping. OSC subsequently approved the project with conditions.

Dr Lim said he was confident that the project would draw in foreign investments because many Japanese were planning to make Malaysia their second home.

“Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) has sent a team here twice to film and introduce the concept to the Japanese and it received overwhelming response.

“We have also received a lot of e-mails from Japanese who are interested in the project under Malaysia My Second Home programme.

“Malaysia has been selected by a Japanese non-governmental organisation as one of the best destinations for retirees,” he said, adding he felt Malaysia has been lacking in attracting foreign direct investment compared with neighbouring countries.

“The service apartments will be medium-cost because of its location. If the foreign buyers want to go for a high-end property, they will look for something near KLCC and not in Ara Damansara,” he said.

He dismissed concerns by Ara Damansara residents that the service apartments might be changed into a hotel.

“Any developer will know it is not economically wise to build a hotel there,” he added.

The company has also been instructed to pay more than RM2mil for infrastructure and traffic dispersal.

About RM1.2mil will be used to build a ramp over the NKVE near the FAS tunnel, RM90,000 to build an interchange in Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang and the rest for infrastructure.

Dr Lim said according to a report by the MBPJ Engineering Department, the traffic flow in Ara Damansara was good and would only increase by 2030 if there was aggressive development.

The report also stated the Ara Greens project would not worsen the traffic situation.

Dr Lim said the project’s nursing care, healthcare and retirement facilities would eventually benefit the community.

“Petaling Jaya has one of the highest ageing populations in Malaysia and the facilities will help to ease the state government’s burden on taking care of senior citizens.

“The healthcare and nursing facilities are also for residents in other neighbourhoods,” he added.

On the plot ratio issue, he pointed out the whole of Ara Damansara had been approved with 1:4 under the Petaling Jaya Local Plan 2 (RTPJ2) while the Special Area Plan 2 (RKK2) was still in the drafting stage.
