Let's get it loud and clear.

Getting GDI DOES WHAT to our ratings as owners ?
Extra rental we can demand ?
Extra services ?
Lower tariffs by utilities charges for us?

U reply . I listen .

And then, when we are not floating on cloud9,
And face a true reality when CR is VP to us.

Are people ready to reply our TO LET NOTICES / FOR SALE
Among the many available empty offices and apt and condo, why must they want to rent from us ?

For retail - they rent because the shops promised good business

For soho - they rent because it is good reputation, clean, good access, convenient, competitive, great security, safe and smart building, super parking, no thefts, Etc

For service/condo - they rent because of the same criteria as SOHO PLUS bigger space ( rooms).

If I just tell a prospect renter to pay me RM 2500 a month as rental for my soho because the award the soho has over his decision to pick another office at Kuchai Avenue or Gembira Avenue. You think he really bothers ,?
I tell him I wanna charge him extra RM500 because of that green award ?

What you think he will reply me.
If you are him, would you bother to call this
Guy who brags awards of building and not lowering rentals ?

I went to USJ 19 Shop Complex and above this complex is a condo block .
The 2nd n 3rd floors of the shop complex looks so empty !!! Despite having Aeon Big downstairs at G floor, the situation at the upper shops lots look very different .
Rows of empty lots along the corridors.

Complex Shops packed with tenants don't come easy.
It's all about overall branding, reputation, image, Quality, and utilities, and target market .

Who are our CR target audience ?
What sort of true paying renting people go for CR ?

At KL SENTRAL, the Developer Targets established corporate sectors who rents there.
Big telco and established companies etc
Apart from being a transport hub over the other adjacent blocks, the few condo blocks of KL SENTRAL are rented by Expats and stayed by corporate people.
Rentals are average RM 4500 And above up etc even RM 10000 rental is common .

Since they are above RM 4500 rentals, they filtered out low paying or middle management tenants etc
More target at higher mgt staffs and high pay tenants .


Back to CR, we should ensure Developer n future Mgt who run CR to be what?
High class condo or middle class or just another
Ave nice building along that road .

Opposite across the other side of the highway from CR,
You see Desa petaling . That huge condo over looking Desa Petaling look run down and look un attractive to me . It was launch as a mega condo those years .

Me

Yeah, I mean if Condo A and Condo B, one got more awards, which one will u prefer? I mean if apple with apple comparison, i believe with awards got advantage me.

Yeah, for security, CR also not bad because it is 4th tier, meaning you can only access to your floor.

but one thing is the staircase..... they oso need to be one of the security door.... cos normally come down from particular floor, u no need to use any access card to go to the lobby or basement....

oh ya didn't think about the staircase.

If the staircase can enter by anyone, then a lot of case can happen..... hope tat the staircase oso need to use the access card to enter.... i mean oni at lobby staircase door.... like say i live at level 9 and i wan to visit my neighbour at level 10 or few more level, i can use the staircase to walk up to my neighbour level...

think to go to neighbor's unit, need to wait at lobby and to have neighbor bring you to his/her house unless your neighbor is same floor

I been staying at Australia for 3 years when i study there..... most of the unit at Melbourne using the same system . it mean that when u are visitor which u wan to visit ur neighbour, u need to press his/her unit number and ur fren will open the door as well as the lift which he/she just can press the level which u stay..... this is to prevent some of the robbery enter into someone unit easily.....

oh i can't understand how it works. You means the visitor press the unit and the owner need to go to the lift ?

No. is like intercom telephone and the unit owner can see the face whom press the unit number. once the owner confirm is one of his/her fren, then the owner just press a button and let his/her fren to come into the lobby and press for the lift. the fren only able to press the lift with the level whereby his/her fren staying.....

oh, that's cool, can see the face somemore

Hopefully CR got something like that also. Because nowadays, I heard some robbery cases even those who stay in apartment or condo. Maybe service apartment not much. In the past, apartment and condo consider do not have such issue but now changed liao. So, security is indeed important.

I know one condo in Sentul, Tamarind. I think this condo have the tightest security I ever seen. After your car go inside, the security guard from the guard house will call the security guard inside to make sure the car has gone in to the right spot. Before that, the guard will also call the owner that, this friend is looking for him.

And from the car park, you need access card to go into some area like lift area unless you come from entrance but then the entrance got guard there also.

It looks hassle but better to be safe than hassle

Not like other apartment / condo, where u give a hand, the guard let you in

All the security talk by us only !
What exactly are the security features that will be used by developer ? You know ? Anyone ?

You said that the security at guard call up guard at block outside block floor that visitor be visiting that block as he sign in book the details .

My current rented condo at midfields is doing this too
Yet all owners install super thick grills at
Windows, front main door grill, bathroom window grill and wet area grill etc

Why?

Fact is whatever the security u have , safety can still be compromised !!

One rent guy I read got all his things like laptopn personal items stolen as he suspect the thief or robbery climb in thru the bathroom window !!! A big loss of money for him .

I quickly ensure my bathroom window shut tightly
And so now worst. I am 100% aircon when I am in the condo !!! Day or night !!!

ya, think still need to add own security system just in case. My security system has saved our house at least once. This is real indeed. But externally if security is good, gives more comfort and assurance.

At midfield? the robbery break in into the main gate izzit? midfield lift can enter by anyone and any floor rite? but for CR u cant enter any floor except ur own floor. there is a special key which u need to tag at the lift for u to press ur floor...

For CR, u know one floor got how many units?

No! NOT FRONT MAIN GATE!
U need access card enter pass guard Hse .
Visitor Park at top 7th or 8th floor of car park etc
Take lift from car park And take to G floor .
Then walk to either Block A or Block B or block C etc
Eg Block A . U reach Glass Gate entrance of Block A and need Access Card to swipe to make glass gate open n enter LIFT LOBBY OF BLOCK A.
Then press whatever floor u want.

Once inside lift lobby, you can take any of the block A 3 lifts up to any floor or go back down to G floor .

Press G floor Lobby side switch n open glass door n exit !

The tenant who was robbed assume the robber enter via bathroom glass window ! Every bathroom has a glass window to allow air flow .

Some owners units will install grill iron at all windows,
Windows, grill porch glass lobby at balcony or install grill iron at all windows of rooms.

Yet this security been breached by thief assume enter via bathroom window and NOT FRONT MAIN DOOR !!!

I follow the chat forum site for midfields here
And that's how I know about that break in etc
U can search under " midfields " in this low yat net site

There is 'way' to enter from bath window? Usually these area very narrow one i guess. Maybe that thief is very professional or spiderman

Even presidents get assassinated !
Despite all the super bouncers and security given.

So I learn one big thing . I don't care what the developers give or promised .
Better save money n spent on iron grills for all front gate to windows !

If u r robbed, you can only say you report to police. What else ? The loss is still yr own.

People hear and people say pity you . But they don't share your loss.
So don't think your so call security 3 tiers to 10 tiers will protect everything .
When there is a will, THERE IS A WAY!!
