U believe in lucky
I don't
I believe in facts

RIGHT from START, you speak as if you are from developer.
Covering all the various reasons for them even they have not given those reasons !

Buying a unit n getting a planned car park to suit the appropriate unit budget is the norm.

It is not based on luck or just lucky.
Those selling rep don't have the power to decide which parking we get . Probably he don't even know !!

Well no more answers for you .

I did not criticize.
I say that my car park was not good.

If I voice my grievances, at least I manage to get a slight better deal. Not like you . Who believe in luck.

You don't need to ask n reply me actually.

In fact, 2 prospects who click me PRIVATE as they were allocated up/dwn car park
As said in S&P.

They were very upset. They told me that they have decide to drop off.
Surrender the S&P and not sign.

So it's not that I was the one who only got complaints. They kept quiet and drop off The contract.
These investors know what is good for them. They "bought" high high floors.
They expect much more.

Ensure your car park is side by side

If tentam car park insist that you only will buy unit if car park is side by side .

Many problems will arises when you get tentam car park,
Imagine you got to wait for the car infront of you to come out before you can get out etc
Very inconvenience for family members n very frustrating etc

I bought that 25th floor n one of the few most expensive for soho central .
They gave me tentam car park !!
I was almost devastated by this.
I mean I expect the best layout for me as I bought the last two highest tier floors of that block !

I decide to talk nicely but the sale guy cannot help and very disappointed with him. So I take full action by writing to the CEO !
And so finally I was given a side by side.
It's not the best floor as its still 3rd floor!instead of
1st floor n side by side !!!!! I really expect a much much better floor . . What for I buy so expensive if I get such car park floors?

They change my SnP to accommodate the car park changes .

Best luck to you !!!

U r right !!

Black n white writing is always better .

Make sure you know your unit is attached with which car park location . Then only decide anything to buy or not

When I bought my Gembira Residenz, the sales mgt show me the floor plan of car park and which unit is link to which car park and floor of car park .
Every unit was attached to a particular car park .
Of course, like most developers ,
The most expensive units are the big size units and highest floor units and will get the best plan car parks units.

KLCC Is so far away
What is there to view ?

Those real KLCC condo like platinum park nearby will be able to see at eye level of KLCC. Etc

Face or not face klcc for CENTRAL is ok
Most important is its reputation as a good quality condo or service condo

I am not sure property generally go up or remain

3 years time or 2.5 years time, there will be massive delivery of condo units all around KUCHAI to Sungei Besi area n Bukit Jalil etc

I be lucky if I am able to rent out RM 2000
For a tiny unit 731 sq ft

Units of 1200sq ft stand a better chance to rent out as no matter what. 3 rooms same rent. Which one u rent ?

Soho is always more use by the owner son for own stay .
Sungei besi or central area is not the place still where rich students stay as no rich college around ,
Most here if rich are China man rich kids . They rather stay at mummy big house or unless mummy buy for them .

I will not depend on this segment .
Rather be real.

Air Stewardess? are u just hoping? or sure?

I rather deal with facts!

as i said.. I am just quoting the cheapest rental for a place like Central. If subsidize, sure understood, where can get surplus rental?
we also need to pay our monthly maintenance bills, and remember our SOHO is charged to commercial rates for water and electrical.

And, so, that is SOHO. Actually, if the Residence unit is charging same price as SOHO, i would have taken the Residence units, as they are much bigger, 3 rooms and can accomodate a medium couple and children. Our SOHO is too small for family, and too expensive rental for individuals, unless, they have the means to pay.

I rather not dream like anyone saying, artist, or designers, come to SOHO. If an artist come to me to rent, i will say NO!
I dont want anyone who can owe me anytime. I prefer someone who pay on time, rental and despite lower the rent, he pays on time.

Who is he? or she?
That all depnds how SOHO looks like, and reputation to be.

Many other condo end up as "chicken Place". I hope, the security and management are strict to ensure tenants dont rent out to chicken and papa san and pimps. That will be disaster.

Would any type of tenants willing pay
Higher utility bill as compare to normal residential condo ?
Unless its a very special soho n very class one !
And so famous as a super soho standard!!

If Central soho is just a normal soho, why would anyone want to pay same rental compare to another condo with bigger space or 3 rooms Std size?

And for RM 2000 rental for a 731 sq ft unit and not select a 1200 sq ft at other condo like ARTE or Palace Court or Gembira Residenz or Midfields or KUCHAI Avenue?
So it's very very important that Developer and Mgt for Central Residence Soho to boast the image and exclusive Soho for KL people to know !!

Current Midfields renting is around RM 1500 to RM 1800
And there are 800 units to choose from!!

2 parking is found for most new condo as Std features.
High class individuals willing to pay high rental soho unless that soho is also an exclusive Soho too.

That's why I keep emphasize about high standard maintenance and not any type soho.
Reason because we paid very high cost per sq ft !
Our unit soho is NOT costing 180k or 250k Pre 2010 price when most condo are around this price.

Midfields now can rent around RM 1400 to RM 1800 for 1200 sq ft size with full facilities, and YTL branding.
If it was not YTL, I think rental around RM 1000 to 1200 only.

In 3 years time, due to a large delivery of units from the current surrounding development, it will be a lot of choices to choose. 2011/2012/2013 are super good years for selling and owning condo etc. the owners of new condo in 2012/2013 probably bought their condo per boom period and now selling at crazy prices make at least RM 250K extra profit.
But those who buy condo in 2012 don't make so much and hopefully, the boom prices continued.

If not, there will be a glut of condo units to sub sell and rent out.

I wish I had a bought any condo prices at 2009/2010 prices. Current 2012/2013 prices are very very high prices, and don't allow us to make much and rentals are hard to calculate since we bought so high.
Midfields owners bought their units average RM 220k to RM 250K around 3 years ago. Pre boom period. . So to rent at RM 1500 they can cover maintenance monthly fee and bank loan.
We bought at 2012/2013 prices. It is very challenging for us to find anyone to rent our soho at RM 2000 prices in 2014/2015 unless our soho is KL ranking top 5 soho and not just another building in Sungei besi area .

That's a reality check.

If I can laugh back I be very happy
As I said for my case I cannot use my rental to cover my loan n monthly maintain fee.

I am paying well over rm 3800
A month bank loan for central etc
Anyone above 50 yrs old don't get 30 years loan. Brother !

And as such, it is not smart to pay till end of full tenure loan period etc
If I take 400k Loan n by time complete bank loan I would have paid 800k !
So it's far better to finish loan ahead of Loan period.

At Midfields a security guard is station n sit on every car park floor to guard etc few CCTV cameras also place in every car park floors to check on activity etc

I hope our Central soho can do even better than this and with tight strict security, this can attract a PLUS POINT for finding tenants who ask for good place to rent

Talk and expectation is easy .
Steve1 , we both may keep talking forever. What's the point.

It is the real mgt of central Soho to really do that. Are they doing that?
I "hope" so.
If they just built and expect miracles, I am in deep shit.

That is why it is very important that a good branded developer be associated with a good block of units. And this sells. Seringin Residence despite so high price is so sort after and every one is dreaming to own one, if they can afford.
Even before completed, everyone speaks so good of it.
Sub sale is selling really hundreds of thousands above the original price.
Their buyers are rich and can afford to buy. Not from those rejected loan types who buy this development.
Now, this is a fine example I am talking about. The Brand sells itself.
Like BMW, like Audi, Mercedes, the brand sells by itself, even you have not own one or driven in one. You are sold by these Brands that these are super good cars. High price is expected but the rich are willing to pay.

Now back to our Central Soho, my only wish is in the hands of the mgt of this developer . Will they make this a branded Place or will it be just another block of building hanging around that road, and that's all.

I cannot say I hope. It is in their hands.

Once completed, and many rich are rushing to stay there, and pay extra RM 200k I think I will be willing to sell . After all, that's what investment is all about.

Investment is buying lowest, or mid price, sell and cash out. Make money.
Next any new good development to view?
Ha ha.......

I take one without award if sub sale is+ 200k!!!

Rather than one only boast
German harbour is no Point

Any developer that knows how to brand and make all make money at once !
I am still waiting for offers. ........
U got any ???

I pass by almost every other day
So I know the progress

If you want a bird eye view of entire project looking,
Go to Desa petaling n up that cinema complex floor and from that floor, you can see opposite the road project which is Central !
Very clear n good view!!

Hopefully, the project gets notice and more sub offers coming our way !!

Get a less expensive Feng shui master to advice how to
"WONG" your unit .

Strangely although the high floors smaller units of soho
Face the open view (direction of cemetery) which got green view n whatever view.

Bigger size units eg type S face indoor or pool view inside buildings view. Usually, bigger size units will face the outside views. Any reason for this concept design?

Wonder what's the rational for this .

Agree !!!!

City view is much nicer . At night , if at a high floor balcony, you look down far across , the twinkle lights of city lights n house lights !!!
Who cares About KLCC view unless you are so attracted to the two jagung !

Just like when you are high up in Genting and you look down the hill, KL looks like a universe of lights !
That's the best reason to get an open view unit.

Well our type S units face inside . Pools view and other residents views . .. Somehow I felt
All 3 blocks look best as a hotel with 3 blocks than residential soho blocks etc maybe due to the triangle look of the 3 blocks when completed view from above sky !

Yours is the soho type right ?
What size n floor ?

Actually I would like city or town view its ok
But the ones selling are smaller units
No choice. I took 25 floor !
Face inside .

Just settle with mgt for change.
I change from tandem parking to side by side
Parking.
