IOI going to launch Vivo City and Bandar Puteri. I guess at the undevelopd land opposite Columbia Asia. Total 80 acres, Phase 1 (7 acres) consists of Service Apartment, Retail, Shophouse and Office suites. Will further drive up the Bandar Puteri house price.

how much the shophouse?

No need to guess, that's the piece of land which the earthwork is currently undergoing and construction of first phase will commence by end of this year.

Still not enough Shophouses and office suites in Bandar Puteri yet ? Wouldn't these will cause the prices/rental value of shoplots in bandar puteri to plunge ?

As you can see, there are plenty of shop lots in Bandar Puteri that are still looking for tenant....

Have these shoplots waited for at least one year already ? I think that's the typical time needed. The Link Bukit Jalil (opposite KM1) waited for ~2 years ?

Wow, Puchong is indeed prospering ..

Bubbling but best thing is, land truly is limited in golden mile already

whats the pricing for the resi? anyone know? IOI im sure not cheap , somemore bdr puteri

The Star online did mentioned vivo city in bandar puteri and skypod + skyz in Puchong Jaya are to be launched next year. All pricing info at this moment are pure speculation or guesses.

Maybe "educated" guesses lar.

War lau, if skypod is to be launched next year, maybe it's already completed 30-40% by then.

IOI also very smart, don't want to launch now when market sentiment not what it was last year plus many loans not seeing the approvals we were used to

Better let things improve and then launch at much higher price. If next year i wonder what price they gonna sell at

Next year will be better year for prop?

Some even waited for more than a year. But can see most shop lots ground floor had been occupied ( included next to the Giant)

The Link surounding perhaps a bit low density and it's only few rows of them. Now can see it was packed with cars almost everyday, but also, only Grd Flr was occupied and some 1st or 2nd Flr still vacant.

Im optimistic, but depends if BNM will loosen up credit... however, who am I... better ask the taikors here loh

The actually don't plan to launch last year, their SA also don't know about the price for skypod, you can see the model of skypod in their office. The indication "for now" is about RM400-RM450 psf.

As you can see, the site is already under construction, and they will start selling when the construction is about 50-60% completed. By then, they should know how much. Who knows it will be above what's the indication, or same.

IOI property, if you been dealing with them, you know their situation in market is a bit like "Sat Bao Mai Pao" in cantonese. U want you come. U don't know I don't Hew you. All the land belongs to them, they can take their sweet time to sell.

IOI is always thinking of themselves 1st rather than its residence/tenants/occupants. A lot of shop lots are either vacant, if not, open and chap lap, open again. If IOI do not think this is a developer problem, then i guess they are not a very good developer.

We have a WHOLE LOT of PFCC coming up.. now that the RIMA College is taking up few floors (is like "what the heck colleges are in???") and we have Moon Palace and Mazda. I am not very confident that PFCC will be as good as it promises. PLUS we have The Cube coming up... I wonder what kind of "brands" or "BIG Names" coming in to take the whole lot of the unit itself. And and and... Vivo City... another area that has PLENTY of shop lots to be left vacant with... SIGH!!!! Very" thoughtful" developer rite IOI?!??!

And 1 more important thing is IOI properties are either BORING in design, BORING in landscapes, or just pure traditional designs that are selling at throat cutting values! Compare to other developers, IOI is far far faaaaarrrrr behind.... *SAD*

Have you all also noticed Setia Walk which in the first place it looks like a BIG project which might not fetch very good tenancy??? Guess what, a lot of BIG names are coming in, and the concept is SOOOOOO LIFESTYLE! Love the design and concept and SP Setia's well thought plan (IOI gotta learn from them). Everything that they build, is looking at it as a whole, and not let's profit first, customer service later...

I don't know about all of you.. I just think that IOI is not donig justice to itself and to all its customers.. Just feel that they do things for the sake of doing it to profit, so material wise are all so-so only.

Added on March 24, 2012, 7:42 pmPLUS PLUS PLUS... stupid road system in Puchong... All the fly overs and roads are like SO NOT ORGANIZED! Look at the road coming in to Bandar Puteri.. when you turn in from LDP, you will need to be VERY CAREFUL as cars are coming from ALL directions to cut to the other side of the lane. You wish to go up to the fly over, and some casrs wish to turn in to the bank areas, some wish to cut out to the fly over from the banks.... SO MESSY!!! Like the developer! not organized and simply do the plan just because they need to do something. Not well thought off.. Never will.

If IOI still think that they are the PIONEER in development, they MUST be day dreaming. So many developers are slowly climbing up the rank, IOI?? maintain their attitude and way of working. Send your management for trainings la.. this will help IOI better, invest in your people, don't leave them to die. Coz learning from IOI itself, you will get IOI type of results and ideas, and designs, and concept, and plans, and projects = which all equals to BORING & TRADITIONAL & NOT UP TO STANDARD

Lol hey did you work for IOI?

I do agree their products are boring with cut-throat prices!

How many more shop lot IOI wants to build in Bandar Puteri? Look at the for lease banners hung on the facade, they are creating a shop lot glut!

no... i'm not working with them... don't think i will ever too... I'm one of their buyer.... ggggrrrrrr....

iOI = money printing machine. All d Chinese love puchong so much. Pay lah,wat to do?

later work with them, i become Kolot & traditional too... how??? hAhaha!

aiseh... i really hav to agree too.. boring design n concept... lately smaller developer seems giving more value for money n daring concept..

but there are always pros n cons between the big gun n small peanut..

You guyz have seen Setia Walk? See how they construct their plan for this project... they even build the pedestrian bridge to ease people who come & go from there.. and it just feels ssooooooo relaxng in Setia Walk, even though it is located just right beside the main road.

Look at IOI Mall... what happened to the new wing??? No brands would want to come in to IOI Mall... all the shops also dunno what shops... sigh...

Now they are building some road extension to ?????... mana mau pigi the extension???? If they are making the 1st p[art of the bridge BIGGER & WIDER, are they also doing something to the bottle neck?!?!? If yes, then it's good move... but if nothing is going to happen to the end of the bridge before the toll, then i think its stupid lo.. everyone will be jammed up at the bottle neck! it's like from 6 lanes to 2 lanes... then to the crazy toll Queue.... gggrrrrrrrr......

Added on March 24, 2012, 8:44 pmsorry... i must e more realistic here as I hafta face this very unorganized road condition daily.. somemore early in the morning! If IOI improves on the road system, then at least we see some improvement in IOI concerining ofr its people... but if we still hafta wait for another 20years, might as well don't so anything, just pretend nothing happen... keep building your shop lots and shop lots and shop lots... and did i say shop lots?? yes... more vacant shop lots... let it become a abandon ghost town one day... hmmm.. dats the plan.... way to go IOI.

ps: The Vivo City... wats the plan??? do they have something concrete already? or still "we are planning to do this and that, but nothing has been confirmed??".... this was what i heard at least 1 year ago...

Because of IOI, Puchong is getting better and upgrading itself to another level.
Issues will keep coming out when a place is being developed; don't just focus on the negative things, there are a lot of good things that we can think about.

Maybe we have to give them some time to solve those issues that the Puchong people facing everyday.

Kinda agree with Mr. Max Prime... But i support dracula point... Dont just look at the negetive side, there are many positive points as well, just u dont see it at the moment coz the fire in ur heart hide it up..

I think IOI is not looking after the highway expansion.

The council and the LDP's private owner (BN cronies) are...

There are 2 traffic lights at Lebuh Puteri (opposite giant, one traffic light at each side). They should look at building a pedestrian bridge and remove the traffic lights. I supposed pedestrian bridge is not so costly to build.

China man=the higher the price the more kan cheong to buy.

Is there a bubble?

JAM JAM JAM everway in puchong..sieh

So many developments in Puchong ... Nightmare (traffic jam) is coming ... Stay tune ...

next year will be the bubble year.. expected the highest peak will hit at year 2014..

bubble bubble ??

Last year people say this year bubble, this year people say next year bubble. Bubble bubble ! LOL.

Anyway I see that one critical success factor for IOI vivo city is road access. If nothing is done on road access, the success of it will only be very modest. The jam is so bloody unbearable.

if no jam who want to open shop there?

Traffic condition in Bandar Puteri is getting worse, if there is no proper planning for the Vivo City access road ... nes ...

"proper planning" ... exists in this land?

"Boleh" land ???

For me I think there is a way to improve the traffic of bandar puteri, that's to shut-off the access from south of LDP going into the ramp to enter bandar puteri.

Drivers from the south already have two chances to enter bandar puteri, one is via Puchong Perdana interchange, another is further up there is a U-turn at Tesco.

By shutting-off the access into bandar puteri from the south, the benefits are plenty. Cars can get out of bandar puteri smoothly and cars also can enter puteri smoothly.

Also the pedestrian traffic lights at lebuh puteri should be removed and replaced by a overhead pedestrian bridge.

Too bad I am Mr Nobody, so nobody listens to me.

Old govt,new govt no one listens.

This post has been edited by Bahkuteh: Mar 26 2012, 08:10 PM

You are not alone, so many people here are listening ...

i think the developer is not retarded la.. they plan to develop such a big project, sure have the way to solve the traffic problem... reason is all the buyers is having the same concern.. so they must be a solution out there before they start develop that place..else tak ada orang beli lo...

Things have to change following the development.

There was no flyover in front of Giant Bandar Puteri 5 years ago. Because of traffic getting more heavy, IOI built the flyover. It was fantastic that time.
For now, the flyover is full with cars early in the morning, afternoon and evening.
If there is no extra access road for Vivo City, it will be a car park at the flyover.

Now already semi car park... Sigh

last Saturday, when the traffic lights at the junction of the flyover & LDP gone haywire, the jam was really terrible...

Not just Saturday. Last Sunday at about 11 am I was stuck at Lebuh Puteri/flyover, trying to get out of Bandar Puteri. 11 am on Sunday is really a very strange hour to be stuck in traffic jam. As soon as I reached LDP, everything was smooth sailing. So nothing to do with LDP. It's purely a bandar puteri problem, the traffic lights at the flyover areas MUST BE ALL BE REMOVED.

Can go back way to Bandar puchong then go to LDP and make a U-turn ..
it's not direct, but can avoid jam ..
bandar puteri is a big area with lots of development. just got to be patient till lrt comes in.

How to remove flyover since there's 2 directions going in and out fm the place. Unless if IOI build another dedicated flyover for different traffic.

I mentioned in one of my earlier post. The traffic lights at the flyover can be removed, if one blocks the traffic access from the South entering Bandar Puteri and add pedestrian bridge.

Traffic from the south can enter bandar puteri by using either perdana puchong interchange or further up the U-turn at Tesco.

then the perdana puchong interchange and further up the U-turn at Tesco will be jammed.

True to a large extent. But today they are jammed anyway, and worse they are creating DEAD LOCKS to the traffic. Always the traffic from north of LDP trying to enter bandar puteri, they are blocked from entering because of traffic from the south blocking them.

Also the pedestrian traffic lights MUST BE REMOVED too. A cheap pedestrian bridge will fix that.

Puchongite, are you in construction field ? It seems that you know quite well on how to improve traffic condition.

what i see is, IOI has been keep buidling shop lots, switch to vivo city
knowing that, their intelli city office tower has failed

i can see that they are building more, there is little or no additional infra to alleviate the worsen traffic condition

i dun think this developer is proactive enough.....

but, still pple are still buying blindly

I believe Vivo City will also have office and retail towers and residential apartments. It's just a change of name from Intellicity to Vivo City. The location is deeper inside from LDP, there's not much improvement that can be made to the access apart from the access from LDP to the whole of Bandar Puteri.

No more place to build another access road.
Bandar Puteri Puchong will be a car park soon in future.

Got la, Flyover = "fly" from LDP over Vivo city

No way the selling price from 400-450/ft2.
We should thank ioi if not exceed 600/ft2!

Where can we find more info, IOI Gallery ???

Can see Vivo City on the right, opposite to the Cube

any news?

My humble advice to IOI is for them to spend their resources improving traffic system around Bdr Puteri especially access to/from LDP before embarking on any additional mega project. Just look at the mess in front of Bank of China and the lukewarm response to their existing PFCC and The Cube projects..

Concur with you boss.

Sometimes, really unhappy to be caught jam at that junction.

One way in, one way out. Sigh ...

Btw, pls be careful when turning from LDP to Persiaran Puteri especially in the area circled in black below. I personally flatten my tyre once after my wheel went into one of the many "man made" holes. On other two ocassions, I was sadden when seeing motorbikers fell down after their vehicles lost control due to those evil holes too! A visit to my tyre shop reveals that many tyre shops make "regular" incomes thanks to those silly holes.

Recently, I called on IOI customer service to lodge a report but unfortunately they (or MPSJ, according to IOI Property) hv not acted yet. I am almost certain that both IOI and MPSJ are no way near to World Class..

Yes, please drive slow when you're about to reach this turning.

The stupid holes was really damm mad deep. I kena once, saw it but behind me, got a car drive too fast and overtake me, so I couldn't avoid the idiot hole 100% and once hit it, the sound made me damm freaking pain.

Sad to see my 18inch rim.

IOI still run like a chinaman way. Most of the decision is made by the old man. He can change it any time to meet his budget.

With this management style, you can see the previous projects quality of work.
All his apartment and condo price performance. To purchase IOI high end condo will face a very high risk.

Yup! My tyre had a 1.5inch cut which was gone beyond repair, and my sport rim was bended which required a repair.

Hopefully either IOI Property or MPSJ can take this "corner" seriously and solve the IOI holes once and for all.

Tx.

i agree that Puchong is filled with vacant shop lots and office spaces.. and IOI still does not learn the lesson.

what to do, buyers still think they can make money from their investment.

I went Bdr Puteri just now and found the holes had been solved and filled in with tar.

Hmm.. there are still at least three holes that could be life threatening, including the one which flatten my tyre.

Just to inform you all that the potholes had been patched by MPSJ just b4 CNY. Thx to both IOI Property and MPSJ for their swift action.

most roads in puchong are like that

vivo city launched?

Except for the newer phase of shops @ Puteri Central, others are quite well occupied. Maybe about time for IOI to launch its last commercial project here soon.

The correct name is IOI Rio City. 1st phase consist of residential (service apartment) n commercial (ofiz suite & retail unit). All in 858 units with GDV of RM652 mil

Change name 2 times already !

When launch lar ?

Some pictures taken from :-

http://www.ttgroup.com.my/project/division...-city-puchong-0

Another catalyst project.
IOI quality...no eye see

Name was extracted from IOI Properties Group Bhd prospectus. Just state in Yr 2013, dunno exact date

Flora Development Sdn Bhd will be spending RM30 million to address the traffic issues around their development.

I will be interested to know the design.

The nst article mentioned about an underpass and upgrade of flyover.

Please post if anyone has more info.

Still too early to tell.

Unless gt new access road from ldp...else this project is deadly..

From the link:

The project by Flora Development Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of IOI Properties Bhd, is a block of 45-storey Small Office Home Office (SOHO), a block of 41-storey service apartments and office spaces, totalling 802 units.

soho gt market meh?near by so many cheap and nice apartment n condo

Hmmm it's true aarh, just checked iprop/propwall and so on, looks like those apartments are quite cheap in today's view. Then I say these new launches will help to inflate the prices of these existing properties. Is this an opportunity ? Kekeke ....

why?
current ingress and egress is designed for the fully developed master plan.
unless ioi has changed the plot ratio, the traffic should be no issue.

the fly over bridge from bandar puteri to ldp is super super jam at peak hours.
It will be even more jam after vivo city complete.

That y gobin sing said must build the access road, else they wont approve this project.

i gt 1 bijih apartment there.

Now the subsales walk up apartment around 200-300k,well keep and quiet. Rental can fetch 900-1100.
after vivo complete can rent to worker tim

Yours is IOI one or SPS one ?

the management is sp setia management, y? Any story?

you can't design for free flow traffic at peak hour but to certain level of service. if not, it will become like putrajaya in the early days. no car on the road and people will say ghost city.

But the stretch of road at the entry and exit point is indeed got serious problem. Too many traffic heading different places criss crossing each other.

No, not about the management. I have never been inside but from the outside, the SPS ones look better maintained. At least the paint looks newer and the colour is warmer.

Hilton will have a 3 stars hotel at this Rio city.

I thought hilton already in Millenium city further in ? Anyway, nowaday, those big name with 3 star means lower end hotel, like iblis hotel

This post has been edited by sameday: Nov 7 2013, 06:46 PM

The millennia city Hilton is not the full flash Hilton Hotel. Is it the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. Should be like ibis hotel by accor hotel

Yup, nothing to proud of

Any 4 star or better hotel in Puchong yet ?

PFCC wants to have 4 stars hotel.
SW suppose to have a 4 stars hotel too.. but till now also no news.

at the cube got macD soon.

Is that a good location to have MacD ?

Mcd wants this place badly !
