hi all, I am going to place the booking today... it is expensive... but for own stay, I am looking for a spacious and comfortable environment for my family. Hope all turn out well.

developer still left not many units, as of last weekend. If I not mistaken, less than 10 units available. 22x75 - RM830k after discount 10k. 22x80 - RM870 after discount 10k.
I checked Sierra 8 too (subsales), not many intermediate left, as far as now, only left one. "Heard" the owner is not keen to release, and keep on jacking up the price from 650k until now 750k. So, some agents is not will to do the business too.

Not to argue, but this is what I see about this location.
not many good choices in term of new project for 2 sty terrace, GnG and ard 800k. The main reason this place attracted me, is its access. You can use SKVE-Plus, MEX, Serdang Lama, Punjak Jalil and LDP to KL; you can use LDP and Puncak Jalil to PJ and Puchong; you can use ELITE to Shah Alam, Subang, and PJ. SKIP is another new highway, which had approved, but the progressive status is unknown for now.You may find some project in Sg Long with the similar or close to spec and price, however, you only have one access Grand Saga Highway, if I not mistaken, you will need Grand Saga to connect to other highway like SILK, East-West link but i m not 100% sure.

The only disadvantage I see at this 16 Sierra is leasehold.

LCL, have u bought one there, sierra 8 or Lyden?

LCL,, great... u answer ur own question.... that place is not good for investment But own stay.... u sounds like a brilliant investor, so I trust u..

A project without investor, the price will not likely increase; project with investor, will have this renting market issue, But the price will increase. So the question is, u want to buy a property that the price will appreciate or not. Dun take it too complicated.

Haha.... LCL No gas ady.... anyway, u have ur point LCL...

+1

It seems norm in sierra for new release huse, i remembered when sierra 8 completed, ppl wanted to let go and listed 850k for intermediate. So, after lyden is released, the subsales price will come down a bit.
If keeping on compare price, it will be never ending story, and the last , you will not get yourself a comfortable and ideal home.

Before I locked down the Lyden, I had seriously consider GR. The only advantage GR to me is, it has nearer distance to MEX compare 16S. Maybe the GnG guard house looks more advance and prettier too.
Few disadvantage I found from GR compare to 16S,
1. It does near to the depot, this is the fact, no matter what the depot stor, water, petrol, gas, it still a depot. People try not to stay nearby Petrol Station, so does people want to stay near depot? GR is nice within its GnG, but when u goes a bit further, it is a depot.
2. GR SA does told me, I can't do any external modification at the house until the title transfer to my name. I can't recall all, but I do have a impression it was under strate title, and to transfer to individual after few years.
3. The house internal seems shorter although it has plenty of land in front (the car porch) and the backyard. So, does it mean the BU smaller than 16S? I didn't ask the BU, because I was not interested after the SA told me I can't do the external modification for a few years.
Yeah, not forget to mentioned, GR is freehold, 16S is leasthold. Another + for GR.

The show house has opened to public viewing, I was there last weekend. Very nice design, and spacious. Worth to drop by and take a look..... It should be under 2.2M, as IOI Akira (the semi-d) was selling at 2.2M.

Also, the club house (Amigo) is almost ready. Looks good, and feel like a small water theme park for kids. It is just behind the 16S sales office. But don't know how much they going to charge for that.

Yes, this is the challenges that the residents facing now. Hopefully someone can resolve it soon.

Seriously, I can't accept Internet/Phone line did not considered a one of the neccessity (just like water and electricity) in your home.

No question that IOI built the house according to CCC requirement that the telephone line/fiber whether connect to telecom provider exchange, as long as it is ready in the house. BUT, as a master developer of the 16 phases township, I do believe it would be wise that IOI to rsponsible to ensure the completion of the necessity. How will IOI to convince future buyer to the township that IOI is building a great new township?

Sierra 8 (the very first phase of 16 Sierra) was built with Internet ready, but why does Sierra 1 (2nd phase) and Sierra 2 (3rd phase) doesn't built with Internet?

I will always ensure I will be very careful in my next purchase if the developer is always follow the CCC requirement; which it meant to me that will do what is require and wash hand leave the rest to the buyer, but not doing extra for the buyer, as well as the developer "brand", win-win purpose.

Hahaha... so true.... tissue shouldn't considered as necessity, where you can use water..... just like our case, we can use mobile internet!
