Hi, I heard that Central Residence for Phase 2 is coming soon which is around March 2012. Phase 1 is SOHO but this Phase 2 is Service Apartment. Get ready ya!

Haha what is the difference between SOHO and Service Apartment ?

I am no expert but what i know is SOHO is commercial title, which is also mean you can put your company name on top of your door. But service apartment is under residential title.

What is the indicative price and size for the service apartment? How is the sales of SOHO?

not so sure but the agent said the psf will be more expensive than the first phase even though first phase is SOHO.

First phase's SOHO sales, all those with 2 rooms all habis liao. Now left some with one room. u interested? If yes, can PM me.

If service apartment price psft higher than the SOHO which is about 560 psft (if not mistaken), then i think the service apartment will set a new price record at these Sg Besi/Kuchai lama area. Possible 600 psft for service apartment?

i think good comparison is to compare to TheLeafz which is just opposite and also a service apartment. compare apple to apple

Where's the location?

I will see the similarity between TL and CR is the uniqueness of concept. Both target mid to high income young ppl/couple. Size of the units for both smaller compare to Arte, Palace court and Le Yuan. Both also price higher than others. Thus i shall expect both project deliver better quality of materials and service for the premium paid. For TL, the GBI standard shall ensure certain quality and standard from planning, monitoring , till mgmt. For CR i m not so familiar, perhaps the real service offered will justify the price. Anyway hope both project will attract the target audience and improve the demographic segment of this old area which shall unleash the raw pearl of Sg Besi.

Added on January 27, 2012, 9:18 amShouldn't compare with Palace court. Palace court is a condo and leasehold. TheLeafz and Central Residence (phase2) are service apartment and freehold.

what is the justification by developer for the price of 560-600 psft ya? Fully furnish? Beside LRT station?

Is the same area with phase 1? if yes, it should facing cemetery or Highway....

Haha meaning the justification for 560-600 psft is that it is facing cemetery or highway. Otherwise it would have been 650 psft.

usually SOHO price is higher than service apartment in same project.
eg Zen Suit/Zetapark SOHO @ Setapak about 600psf while The Loft Service residence (newer phase) is about 500-550psf.
SOHO price higher coz can be use as office. (dual function)

'ya it is the same area but not facing cemetery. it is on the other side.

the second phase is bigger size and price more than 700k and heard they already sold oversea for more than 30 unit.btw interesting facilities tht attract me fir phase one soho is 2 swmmg pool 2 gym, and shuttle bus. sky garden at several floors and green building another good points

u planning to grab one also?

u planning to grab one also?

i grab the SOHO,1st phase... open my door can see green sky garden. BTW i surprise they got two separate area for lift means every floor got four lifts, 2 each to share for 8 unit ... very convenience no need to wait.

Cool! So, we are neighbor already, haha!

last week i heard phase one still 20% left... i prefer TL more than this central...

both have their own uniqueness, depend on wht we need and prefer.

What is the selling price now?? Any1 know?

They launch phase 2?? Serious?

fw wk ago roadshow @wisma cosway, now at tesco kepong. still selling soho, 8% disc n 3k dp. din c phase2

hi, i will say central residence is better because the leafz only got one entrance.
u see the map?

the entrance is actually pasar pagi, but developer will ask them go other places do business.

the entrance that u see when u pass by sungai besi highway is open temporarily for lorry go in.

because gov won't purposely open one entrance for u straight away go to highway.

hi just checking in.

i just bought a 731 sq ft unit in Central SOHO. And i just found there is a neighboring project, The leafz. Other than the access, i heard that The Leafz do offers quite a range of freebies such as fridge and washing machine. Anyone can confirm about this? Are they all sold out?

future neighbor, which floor and unit type u got? Mine is 9th floor.

Hi there! Im one level below you. Good luck to both of us!! Are u intend to stay or plan for investment?
Wondering if the shuttle bus service can be maintained well or not?

if can get good rental, i think i will rent it out first. otherwise, i might be staying there. ya hopefully price will go up more especially now it received 3 international awards.

Phase 2 is "The Court Service Apartment @ Central Residence, Sungai Besi" ... already advertised in newspaper..

I grab a unit soho 731 sq ft Central Residence!
So we are neighbors ahhh
The phrase 2 is launched n I wonder how's the response ?

Umm and phrase 2 is more expensive. So that means we made some money with good decision?

With Soho Block all sold out. That means that pantang talk n cemetery talk is not going to stop the fast sales as its a good freehold estate and the closeness to OKR, access to cheras, access to Besraya Terminals, intersections to Bangsar, Sunway etc .

Some nice trees planting at the cemetery entrance to block the view is better as suggestion to the developer !

Other than that, ummm it's win win for all buyers!!!

i will buy the leafz or Setia Walk Trigon ( with new LRT station )..

i will choose Trigon because the developer more strong....

Ummm Setia Walk is not located in this Salak South/Sungei Besi/OKR Lama/Besraya Golden Triangle.

It's located at the other side near Mid valley right?

So if anyone who is looking at this new Golden Triangle of KL, their choice to compare would be estates freehold located at this Golden Stretch !

Trigon? Seriously? Can tell what are the good points of this project?

are you sure trigon's developer is more strong? what makes you said so?

SP Setia with market cap 7,104,741,169.20
How about the developer of Central Residence ?

I think SP Setia is definitely stronger and more reputable. But just think that Trigon is at some where near to IOI mall and surrounded by shop lots and offices. Convenience is good but traffic is damn congested. Future LRT station and low density of 181 units only is a bonus too.

But the convenience do carry together with a crowded surrounding.

My little view on the Trigon. How bout others think?

I think we are to talk about properties lining the new golden triangle of KL which I think will be properties fringing
Salak south/Sungei Besi/ Besraya/OKR Lama etc

Any properties to Puchong is another area all together. It's like comparing Kenny Hills to Salak South .
Both are totally worlds apart.

From recent developments, prices at Salak South/Sungei Besi are preaching RM600k per unit for condo and that's something to talk about. This small forgotten suburb part of KL is waking up in the Year of the Dragon and and firing up its fireball.

Same thing is happening in few parts of Cheras. Proven by that Latitude Condo.

This post has been edited by Citydude: May 13 2012, 03:52 PM

u mean the development in tasik selatan lrt station? that area really big and construction has been started already...i forseen many more development there...

So midfields can hit 600k soon

i guess the appreciation for condo/service apartment will be there but not as much more to landed property.

Not only task selatan la
I am talking about Salak South/OKR Lama surrounding areas right up to Sungei Besi areas
Etc where else can u still get Freehold !!
The Central Residence main selling point is Location and Freehold !!!
It's not easy to find cheaper KL Freehold modern Condo!
Leasehold plenty la.

Ya FreeHold is a good point.

Midfields 600k?
Not for a long long time !

Currently, it's hike up by Property Agents n so
Price is high n rent is high n so?
Who is buying ?
Who is renting ?
So many sub sales mehh?
It's not easy to find buyers and renters
In a soon soft slower economy for the rest of year .

Would you as local rent at RM 1800?
This is NOT the Mont Kiara Solaris Triangle where
There is international school or Japanese school or
Masaleh hideout !
It's neighbors across the roads are lower income flats and the taman sungei Besi is a few rows shops and of busy depot of lorries for storage godowns and fork lifts plying day and nights etc
I sit at the local coffee shops and mamak shops frequent by lorry labourers, foreign workers and old time uncles etc
Walk up Flats nearby and a large tree with a Lelong flat at RM 80K a unit !

Added on May 14, 2012, 6:08 pmCash is King!

I will take my time to consider any further buys
Of properties

If the economy really slows down and sub sales tumbles n crash, (if) then I will sapu
Two units for the price of one !

Europe is slow n austerity drive
USA still struggling
China is slower
And KL ? Booming !??
U guess ?

I will wait and my choice of condo and landed properties is more by the day !



This post has been edited by Citydude: May 14 2012, 06:08 PM

u haven't buy any house so far?

After buying Central Residence
I think I am satisfied as its Freehold !!

The Soho license Suits me as I can do business at that address and stay in it.
The 731sq ft units Phrase 1 Soho is good enough for small business to rent etc Obe room for the Boss and one room for meeting room and the remain space for few desks for staff ( 5 staff maximum).

This reminds me of Plaza Mont Kiara where the office units are taken by Soho or small business etc
And it's KL address !!

u plan it for your own use? not rent out?

I like the soho title, thats main point. Option to do business there

Yah, that's the advantage of SOHO. but got disadvantages also la. ie utility bill need to follow commercial rate.

Steve, the agent called again n he said stated very clearly in the SPA even though title could be commercial but the utility bill rate is following residential rate. Is he bluffing? LOL.

I was being told that Central Residence will be built on a long abandoned project along this Sg Besi road. The project was abandoned closed to 10 years. Bad fengshui leh like that...

Which agent said so?

---

Added on May 15, 2012, 9:20 amactually it is opposite. the developer is very into feng sui type one. they said that location is good feng sui location because the 2 highway represent 2 rivers flowing.

This post has been edited by ngaisteve1: May 15 2012, 09:20 AM

That agend called Ong. But that is not stated in yr SPA?

Saw the selling of the phase 2 service apartment.
RM600 per sq feet.
RM0.275 per sq feet for maintenance fee.
Free 2 car park.
Can consider as fully furnished.
Only need furniture then can shift in.
But location wise is really NO NO.
1 side face cemetery, 1 side face highway (can hear car racing at night), 1 side face sg besi highway (also can hear motor racing) and 1 side facing The Leafz and Nirvana (at right side of your view).

wa maintenance is rm0.275 for service apartment....soho first batch is only RM0.25.
location is good le, very near to tasik selatan lrt, got ktm, got erl, got BTS.

Central Residence is located in KL city . It is not sitting in a kampung .
So it is surrounded by roads n link to highways.
Of course the roads are busy as business around the areas are good. The more busy means this area is good business centre . The soho offices will have good price and sort after.
If the roads are quiet around Central Residence, then it means it's a lousy business place.

I will not omplaint if Central Reidence is a busy area because tat means many offices and office soho lots are sought after!

Ya, in KL city where got no jam one. But the good things is many LRT near by. Got KTM, ERL and TBS also. And Central Residence got shuttle bus service, drive you to LRT station and even somewhere further..

Yes, i can confirmed u that it is build on a long abandoned project.
I don't know about feng shui but the traffic there is bad.
Basically only nearby shops are at the Salak South Garden.
Very old looking kinda building and really not much things to eat either.
The Leafz developer tried to convince those people to sell the shops to them at higher than market 20% but they reluctant.
So i really don't think the SOHO and advance looking serviced apartment will look nice next to them.
Also, if only entrance is at Sg Besi then really not very good.

in KL city where got no jam one. But the good things is many LRT near by. Got KTM, ERL and TBS also. if peak hour, can take lrt. if non-peak like at night or weekend, can drive. so flexible...all location before they become prime is also just a normal location ma....ie kl sentral and breakfield, see 3-5 year ago but now...

Actually wherever we stay, if after some time, we tend to get used to it. Human is very adaptive. So come to convenience, it is very subjective.
My only question on this project is how do they justify to sell at 500-600psf. Are they riding on the feel good factor wave?

Central Residence is only accessible through BESRAYA highway right? There is no access to North South highway....

Yes, i think there is no direct. You need to travel some distance, could be 4-5km away to reach NS highway.

Access roads - the moment we drive on from the red lights at the end of OKR LAMA, and cross to the Salak South Road, a 2min drive, we pass by Central Residence and another 3min to 5min drive, we reach the exit to Shah Alam ( Kesas) or turn left to MRR2 to Cheras, Pdn Indah, Besraya Stations etc.

Most important of any development is the Building Management keeping the Condo/Service Residence in tip top condition, and ensuring high security, and installing good internet services for residents.

Owners to ensure, they rent to good decent people to ensure good resident demographic, and perhaps, good feng shui that everyone who stays there are happy, richer, and peace.

When outside people observe all these traits, they want to buy from us!

Time will tell whether it is a good location or not. But by that time, it could more expensive than now liao. Just like in the past, we said Rm400 psf is expensive. Now it is cheap. So, now you said RM500 psf is expensvie. Next time, you said it is cheap. Hm...I guess that is how people think...

Good question. The Leafz only selling at RM450ps.
Asking for RM600ps is too much for that area.
If it is at Mont Kiara then should be ok.
I think it is totally overpriced.

Added on May 17, 2012, 3:30 pmNo. There is a T-junction b4 Central Residence.
One from Kuchai Lama, Old Klang road.
One from Besraya salak south.
One from Sri Petaling, Kuchai Lama.
Other than that, you can see them but can't reach them.
Such as from Seremban Highway.
From Sg Besi which you will need to do a U-Turn right infront of The Leafz.

---

Added on May 17, 2012, 3:36 pmThere is no nearby LRT station.
Nearest will be KTM and LRT at Salak South which much nearer if buy Midfields.
Another 1 will be LRT at Sg.Besi which is much nearer if you buy Lakefields.
Or you can drive to Sri Petaling LRT station.
But no doubt the area nearby offer alot of food and entertainment.
However, with all the new properties coming up and no propose improvement on the traffic, i foresee worst traffic.
If you passby all these areas daily then you will understand how bad it is now and you won't be able to imagine how bad can it be after Midfields and The Leafz is done.
Only god knows.

This post has been edited by luvimp: May 17 2012, 03:36 PM

cannot compare apple with an orange...TheLeafz is service apartment while Central Residence is SOHO...

in KL city where got no jam one? if you check the location map, u will see how many lrt and ktm stations nearby...

p/s mega development in the neighborhood
- bandar malaysia (development of sg. besi airport)
- KLIFD (Kuala Lumpur International Financial District)
- Development of Selangor Turf Club

This post has been edited by ngaisteve1: May 17 2012, 05:37 PM

To be honest the mega development mentioned above would appreciate other projects which are closer to their vicinity rather than central residence.

1) bandar malaysia (development of sg. besi airport) - YTL midfields
2) KLIFD (Kuala Lumpur International Financial District) -This is not even close to Central Residence...Closest is kampung pandan or other development at jln peel
3) Selangor Turf Club by Berjaya - Hua Yang One South

Just my 2 cents....

Bandar Malaysia is on one property that is by itself.
Don't think will benefit anything nearby except old grand father uncle hill nearby from the old King Palace.

Salak south to OKR Entrepreneur Park, OKR Lama/ Gembira Happy Gardens etc
I can see the vibes of development.

Peel road is another part of KL and I shall not comment . It's like Comparing platinum park KLCC areas with Salak South. It's totally out of sync to compare .


I will limit to Salak South and lower OKR Lama areas in this discussion.

One of the good things about this project is that it is like break away from those condos situated inside Happy Garden. Gosh, there are like 10 of them getting ready for VP in the next 2-3 years time. Central is standing alone alongside the Sg Besi highway road.

Yes, breakaway and all ALONE at Sg Besi highway.
If you head down the Sg Besi highway you will only see some half dying shoplots on right.
Some malay kampung on your left.
Further head on you will see some low cost flat on your right.
Your only choice of food or even finding petrol station will be heading to Happy Garden, Kuchai Lama and OKR.
So i dont see the point of breaking away from those places since you will need to travel there all the time.
It would be much better staying nearby then.

What about the current development in front of Bandar Tasik Selatan LRT station right now?

Talk abt this LRT terminal station at Bdr Tasik Selatan, the other day I turned in and ended up like in Bdr Permaisuri?
If that is the case, then really have to study further as things are getting connected to become nearer to each other.

Yes, basically that road link you to cheras.

If you take a look at the area in front of bandar tasik selatan lrt station, the area is extremely big. Heard that they are building a big car park there and highest office building in that area. i guess that will help to boost up that area a lot and central residence is just less than 2 km from there.

Yes, i didnt know they have opened up this part of the connection. Looks like the whole stretch from Central Resi up till YTL's Reeds can have good development in the near future.

Any more positive news about Central Residence, SOHO and Central Courts?

Update us, please.!

Heard from the SA and saw the newspaper that the developer is going to adhere Green Building Index compliant. According to the SA, during their Sales briefing before launching, they already aware about this GBI. Is just that their boss don't want their staff to emphasize so much on this GBI. So, is a very good selling point for the buyer to rent their property to foreigner which are particular to rent a green building compliant building instead of normal building especially the international MNC client.

This is Good News!

will this next to the muslim cemetery?

Peri, very tiny small area only.

Central residence will be a good buy, nearby will have a lot of development sooner or later. Invest as long as u can hold it.

I heard that they are big developer starting to buy out from the existing house owner opposite the Leaf condo which is also beside central residence. That land is huge. if the news is true. That will bring a lot of cheer to The Leaf and Central Residence coz I do believe that if the development land is big, the developer will go for multiple phase and mix development. Nowadays, strategic and good location huge land is difficult to come by.

this central soho is on commercial title rite? will imposed for the 70% LTV thing on 3rd props or 85% loan even on 3rd props?

I am also a bit of confuse. Refer to the S&P, the SOHO is under service apartment category. I got my loan from A****ce Bank and is under Residential Loan (90% margin). I think is solely depend with the banker on under what status they are applying to. They will still imposed 70% LTV if you are buying 3rd property but you can get high margin 90% base on residential loan. Commercial loan will definitely lower ur margin and shorter tenure loan period.

learn something today. got pro and con for commercial title. luckily this is not ur 3rd property.

for my case A***** bank offers the less rebate to BLR among other panel bank.
