Anyone have any indicative pricing for this project? looks very appealing to me, but likely to be out of my range.

my guess >500psft... benchmark will be Duet..

This post has been edited by twincharger07: Mar 31 2012, 03:32 AM

Nice! Thought I read it somewhere before. Where's the exact location? Should be over 600k as Duet Residence is already over 550k.

looking at location and the development itself, im also pretty sure its RM500 psf or above, definitely out of my budget. still, seems nice to me.. so decided to share.

location in google maps - http://www.iproperty.com.my/developments/2...#036;$/#m4

no more landed at kinrara? all condo?

Another Kiara Residence look alike condo at Bandar Kinrara but this time only 5% discount without DIBS.

Any showroom so we can take a look?

Are they somewhat related, KR and this RR ?

hohoho~

This post has been edited by pjguy: Mar 31 2012, 09:29 AM

same developer right?

mmhh...looks yummy....

if less than 500K for 1000 sq ft should be okay...

Yup really nice and I guess the price won't be lower than Duet for sure. Is it opened for sales already?

Anywhere near Kinrara LRT?

anything within BK enclave is asking for premium price..

Added on March 31, 2012, 3:38 pmlooking at the map, this likely in BK5B near sierra residency, beside ayer hitam forest... so it wont be near to any lrt station

This post has been edited by twincharger07: Mar 31 2012, 03:40 PM

is this sierra resience 2 or different project?

1 month + for launch.

This post has been edited by awh85: Apr 1 2012, 11:32 PM

i m not sure... interestingly developer is called knox sierra

coming soon...

excited...to know the price

if they name sierra residence 2 it will carry the previous mid low condo image of sierra residence? then developer cannot charge sky high price? that's why they name to rimba residence? if this is sierra residence 2 then i think the price shall be between KR2 and current sierra residence subsales market price....with no LRT....

if this is the case, then the price sure high liao...coz that is the purpose of changing name as what u mentioned, to price it not higher, but much higher...

by looking at the name rimba they will do like foresta concept since the ayer hitam forest just beside?

Very unlikely as the development is just a hit-and-run one time one off development verses Foresta which has multiple phases to it. The scale of development in Foresta is much bigger.

My personal vested interest to all the development near ayer hitam forest is for them to finally join up with Pusat Bandar Puchong or Bandar Puteri. Just my dream lar.

This post has been edited by puchongite: Apr 2 2012, 09:10 AM

This have same personality with Foresta which both located beside forest reserve... However, Foresta have more facilities for residents to enjoy more greens activities compared to Rimba...

However, quite interested to know this one as the location quite strategic as well...

I just compare their Rimba Residence ipropery gallery photo vs knox web site Sierra Residency II photo...looks same. From 19 storey total 238 unit apartment "upgrade" to 238 units condo. Selling point is the forest and location wo! They didn't mention much on the facilities. After finish reading their review, the things come to mind is 7-tier security + furnish unit+ every unit is corner unit + 4units per quadrant = KR2.

KR2 @ BK5 = Rimba Residence

anyone know exactly how a 4 tier security is set apart from a 7 tier security? what are those individual tiers?

possible one of the tier is u go bath or toilet shtting also accompany by security guard lol
even possible if u exercise on bed also accompany by CCTV or guard haahhaa

---

Added on April 2, 2012, 10:23 amI believe 7 tier security is something as mention below


Zen Residence is the first in Puchong to feature quadrant living.
The units on each floor are clustered into quadrants and each
quadrant is secured with main door via hi-tech access card.
A visitor will have to buzz the unit he’s visiting to gain entry.


•The security system of Zen Residence consists of 7 tiers namely;
•Guarded residence and visitors access control and CCTV monitoring
•Car park access control and CCTV monitoring
•Lift lobby and lift car access control and monitoring
•Residential quadrant access control
•Home alarm system
•Common area guard patrol and monitoring
•Online CCTV access and monitoring

Based on information on the net,

4 tier
====
1. Guard house at the main entrance.
2. The car park entry,
3. Lift lobby
4. Unit level entry.



7 tiers:
=====

1. Guarded residence and visitors access control and CCTV monitoring
2. Car park access control and CCTV monitoring
3. Lift lobby and lift car access control and monitoring
4. Residential quadrant access control
5. Home alarm system
6. Common area guard patrol and monitoring
7. Online CCTV access and monitoring


Do you really think they are very different ? You tell me! LOL.

My guess for 7 tier security:
1 - guard house + patroning
2 - car park
3 - lift lobby
4 - lift
5 - quadrant
6 - your unit
7 - CCTV

make sense?

4 tier:
1 - guard house + patroning
2 - lift
3 - your unit
4 - CCTV

I think there will be a highway just beside this condo. So cannot expect forest view to last long.

http://forum.bandarkinrara.com/index.php?topic=1760.0
http://www.starproperty.my/PropertyScene/T...htBox/14491/0/0

If I am not mistaken Kidex is the northen portion of the highway, and Skip is the southern portion of the highway. They will merge at Kinrara BK6 area, not quite affecting BK5, right ?

I've went through the KNOX previous project seems like lot of negative comment... like Heron Residency.. And recently Zen Residence quite lot of complaints for the quality....

KR1 and KR 2 still under construction, but one thing Scott Garden quite success to boom the old klang road...

KNOX is just marketing team, developer or contractor? based on their website, seems like more to hired consultancy team...

but based on the TS posts..the Email is homeflairsdnbhd@yahoo.com - Home Flair Sdn Bhd.. i think is the developer of Sutera Maya also..

Then KNOX is nothing to do with the quality..

This post has been edited by seanooi880327: Apr 3 2012, 12:14 PM

This KNOX we don't know for sure what's the responsibility on a development project, are they marketing/sales material, project management, design or what ?

The Heron case, from I know it's a case of 2 problems. One complaint is that conceptual design does not quite match what it turns out to be. This might be "over-design" on the marketing material. But the second complaint is low quality construction might not have anything to do with a marketing company.

but based on the TS posts..the Email is homeflairsdnbhd@yahoo.com - Home Flair Sdn Bhd.. i think is the developer of Sutera Maya also..

Then KNOX is nothing to do with the quality..

for the Heron Residency.. most serious was the popping floor tiles for some units...

Heron is Trinity and Zen is Sentral City la...

hehe.. dont look at me. i just copy paste everything from iproperty.com.my lol

The map on iprop is transferred here :-



If the map is correct, the condo is on the right handside of jalan kinrara 5, that's quite a distance away from the actual "rimba". A lot of other existing landed properties are much closer to the rimba.

Can pm me the price thanks....

hmm...
Email : homeflairsdnbhd@yahoo.com
There is one developer call homeflair build sutera maya at jalan puchong
the email shud put
KnoxSierraSdnBhd@yahoo.com

Maybe this rimba is develop by Home Flair as well.. Knox is just management or consultant team...

Looks like the Sutera progress quite good...

from iproperty i see the email change to info@knox.com.my


take from the iproperty page

Email: info@knox.com.my


maybe the previous is typing error

I got this info from one of the sales person in knox.

The price per.sq will be at RM480

WHere is the sales Office?

wao..if rm480..smallest unit will be more than 600K before discount..

If like that, not for me to enter..

5% early bird discount, that will make it around RM450 psf or 570k for smallest unit.

This post has been edited by CKHong: Apr 4 2012, 02:26 PM

fuh... RM480 psft...forget it.

Yea..the quality really unknown...But most important is to complete on time and get the CF... But i think they are doing internal work.. Cos hardly see many workers outside the building...

By the way, how much is the release unit for sutera maya?

---

Added on April 4, 2012, 2:35 pm570K still exp for me..

but if come with semi furnished, still have their potential target market...anyhow, wait for the final price announcement...

This post has been edited by seanooi880327: Apr 4 2012, 02:35 PM

Anything that is > 400 psf... on new development now.. i think its freakin expensive..

Sutera maya middle part they also havent work yet... the one linking both block... got carpark + swimming pool site..
ya also.. most important is complete on time and get CF.. at least they still got time.. if not too rush also will affect the quality..
i got mine one 32x psf [after discount]
before discount 34x psf
I think there is much more cheaper price... cus first time i heard it is <400k .. i bought tat time 460k
Internal sapu alot... they got 7% discount [saw from other thread] with cheaper price tat time..

Yeah true. Is just next to Giant. Far away from hill. Unless is way behind at next to Duta Kinrara or Kinrara Hill.

Agree. U can't get the fresh air from air hitam forest reserve. Wonder what they use the name of Rimba?

But based on this image.



Seems like is next to Bandar Kinrara 5B. Wait them release more information.

Go to see their location not the picture.

iproperty shows smallest unit is 1103sqft ler...so if 480/sqft then the price should be 530k before 5% discount...

after discount is 500k for 1103sqft...not too bad... but wonder how many units of 1103 left once open for pre view?

think will be another bbb if this is the price...

500k almost close to Duet leh .. but Duet is not really bbb right?

The iprop/knox map is wrong. This is my guess of the google map location :-

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=210980...2266&msa=0&z=15

Not bad the location, right? Quiet and serene.

Duet sales exceed my expectation.. good view high floor sold out

serious ? o.0. nva thought duet run rate so fast.. especially with that pricing...

Every new project there will be certain speculators, certain reserve units, internally and externally. So I would say the game is far from being over and it's hard to gauge the success of a project in the middle of sales. We've already seen a few cases of those projects almost take forever to continue to sell those "remaining few units" (!).

Bigger developers can build and hold. Smaller developer projects need to cross the breakeven point. I wish them all the best.

this remaining units r the most biggest layout, less attractive facing, yet most expensive units....dats the reason need longer time to finish selling...common...

if there's case, quite a good buy, since post mentioned 3% booking fees... 7% discount on downpayment..???
Then price below 500K dy...

Bill Gates no need to worry about prices lar.

when launching?

Targetted for a May 2012 launch, Rimba Residence will be completed by 2015 and is currently open for registration.

exact date dunnololdog.jpg

This Pirated Bill Gates from M'sia No $$$$$ la...

u just need act as bill gate ma.. call them up
maybe u get free unit

Then they will get bulldozer to smash you up like smashing pirated DVDs.

anyone is going to developer's office this weekend to find out more detail?

Look's like knox realized their map is misleading,

the iprop map is corrected :-



And here is google map version (can pan & zoom ) :-

i think the developer may think this project will sell like hot cake, therefore, when releasing the launch information also didn't bother to check the exact location....

Most of the developer/marketing people are map-idiots.
Their only objective is to confuse the hell out of all interested potential buyers.

How many launches we see are provided with good maps ? All the buyers will have to guess, estimate, deduce, interpolate, extrapolate, scratch the head, pull the teeth, bite the fingers, pray to god, imagine, fancy and finally dream about the location of the launch !

LOL!

Probably they want to create the mystery factor, maybe you think is here, maybe not, come see for yourself !!

yes..u r totally right.. x3

on the undeveloped slope? scary or not...

i am previous stayed in BK5, and i quiet like the place. Therefore, is interested in this project. Hope the launch price is not too excessive....but like at Duke residence..don't think can afford it..

the access road will need to pass by residential housing area based on google map...

But BK5 quite a good location, easy to access sunway pj, and KL/serdang..

my personal opinion is that if talking about the access, Duke Residence's location is better than Rimba, and somemore nearer to the propose LRT extension.

Hope this will make Rimba's launching price cheaper than Duke. But i think it would not happen....let's c.

I have a feeling that your "Duke Residence" is "Duet Residence" ..... But "Duet" is really a lousy name, "Duke" sounds better .....everyone staying there is a duke.

hi Bro..ya..typo error.."Duet" instead..but as u said, Duke is more suitable instead...

Hahaha, u almost used up all the words u can think of ...

Added on April 6, 2012, 7:05 pmLOL .. Dude is better.



This post has been edited by 1282009: Apr 6 2012, 07:06 PM

both Duke or Duet and Rimba are no where near LRT..
both access almost equally distance to puchong sgbesi expressway..

the risk for Duke or Duet is the upcoming SKIP highway which might just beside the condo.. sorry, no confirmation yet

Duke/Duet is commercial title, Rimba residential..

If not mistaken, the LRT is right in front of Giant kinrara. Not too far from both of these condo..

About 2kms..

not too far but not too near also.. IMHO, LRT is not a shouting point for this development...

The vacant land opposite Sierra residency is Rimba residence site? The concept for Duet and Rimba about the same?

Most likely yes.
If the proposed link road which is able to connect to Wawasan 4 is materialised (just 500m away, need to clear away small hilly area), then I can say Rimba Residence is sitting on one of the best land in the entire Puchong, residence can reach future Setia Walk and IOI VIVO City at approximately shortest distance of 2km & 3km respectively.

How I wish this can happen. You use "proposed", who proposed it ? If only Trinity Group is developing this project, sure it will sponsor this link one. LOL.

If SP Setia develop this project then i m quite sure they will link to setia walk.

If IOI develop then it will link to IOI skypod and bandar puteri.

if and only if......

The link between Pusat Bandar Puchong and Puchong Jaya ( Persiaran Wawas joints to Serindit 1) was sponsored 50:50 by SPS and IOI.

In between Wawasan 4 and BK5B, there is another plot of land appro. 60 acres of hilly land which has been alienated (formerly under Ayer Hitam Forest Reserved).
The artist illustration greenery viewing could be temporary, once the 60 acres of land is developed, Rimba Residence will only has 25% bordering the natural forest. Of course I render anyone interested in this project must buy highest floor possible, the view is superb.
I hv been waiting for the link for 10 yrs, I dun see the developer need to spend a lot to open the road (the link is part of the 60 acres land).

Now who owns that 60 acres land ? Still under state government or what ?

Previously owned by Koperasi Angkatan Tentera, now dunno

UFO gor..agree the view will be spectacular.. seems this is a better than bet than Duet, due to the unknown Skip highway might be crossing just beside Duet and Duet sitting on commercial land.

Added on April 7, 2012, 11:42 amI have to say, the layout and concept looks exactly the same as Kiara Residence.. no doubt the same group is building this RIMBA..
