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

That is the only option for the developer to test market with it's pricing and strategy.

If sales too hot, they can cancel it since it is just booking and pay the fee to solicitor as stakeholder. After 2-3 months, they will re-open again with higher pricing.

Anyway, this Rimba Residence, is tend he a development to watch so far. Howver, my suggestion that the developer can maintain the concept of every unit is cornet unit, anyway, don't same design with KR1 and KR2 pls. Else, we do not feel the exclusivity.

Haha. Yalor. Bo Bian

but Akisama is different, much higher dense against it's units and smaller size. Not much concept but just medium cost or normal condo.

KR more like medium to higher end. If copy back the same thing, Rimba would triumph in terms of FH and the greenery view is much better than KR. No need face highway and face to close to LRT.

The most needed part to improve is their layout, size are ok. Most of the rooms look small except Type C Master bedroom. The middle and small room looks as small as Zest rooms.

Hmm. Actually I quite like a utility room, at least can keep all the hardware and such. But strongly agree with for the 3rd toilet, it is really a damm waste of space for just a mere 1200 sq ft condo.

Hope they will change a bit or else, KR existing investors would prolly not buying a repeat layout condo.

Agree that KR is more to investment/rental play since strategically located next to LRT and well access. However, Rimba is purely for own stay with quiet and scenery view. It could be a threat for both currently launch, Duet Resi and Zefer Hill.

The pricing out dy meh??

Twin Gor, RM 450 psf, go or no go?

If the price before 5% discount, hmm, I think should be ok but I need to see n study the exact location.

Knox Group projects all will be marketing by their own WCT Realtors.

Btw, RM 500 psf before discount? Wow ....

Seems the targeted pricing of RM 500 psf at Kinrara area had breached again and soon, set to be a normal benchmark pricing ..

Was told it was from 450-500 psf.

Most likely not more than 485 psf.

Twin Gor. I was told the pricing should be btw 450-500 psf n more likely, not more than 485 psf is the pricing bfore discount. Possibly 5% discount without DIBS but more furnishes.

So, plan to sapu one?

Agree that RR is located at much good location and view. It is very ideal place for own stay and KR2 prolly for rental n investment game if not own stay.

I am quite interesting how much is the real pricing which will come out by end of April and see whether Knox Group has such good temptation and selling hot cakes like both KRs.

I also waiting for the actual pricing and confirmation of the freebies ... RR has sizes of 1121 and 1262 sq feet ... if the actual pricing stands at 480 psf before discount, for smallest layout of 1121sq ft, it is estimated at RM 511k onwards after 5% discount ... the furnishes given, almost full at master bedroom and bedroom 1, kitchen cabinet ( wet and dry ) and etc could be worth estimated at 30k up to 50k for bigger size ( depends on sizes, rooms and quality/material/brand given ), so it makes the pricing more comfortable especially for prospect of first time buyers who opt for carry bag and move in ...

I am most probably skip this since the Knox is using the same KR2 concept, where I committed with larger units instead of smaller units which I suppose I intend to... so, the concept is largely untested although KR2 received a hot reception ... anyhow, I am more happy if the freebies given at RR was exchange with KR2's DIBS ...

KR2 looks investment game more than own stay but RR definitely looks more an own stay than investment, especially rental game ...

Same concept and same design. Facade also very similar or 90% same. Lol.

The developer seems save a lot money for their research and masterplan design. Keep on current concept and plan, then jalan since KR2 sell like hot cakes.

Confirmed? Sure?

If really RM 450 psf and bfore 5% discount, it would be a real good deal n cheap. After 3 years, the owners would be glad that they bought this cheaper than others. Like TZ.

Most likely KR and KR2 incidents happen again?
If they do, sure they keep the smallest units and again, reopen for another 20k extra.

Twin Bro, if RM 460 psf bfore discount, would you likely to grab a unit?

Bro Twin,

I think we have similar interest for BK among whole Puchong. I always interest in Puchong, Subang and BJ. For Puchong, I prefer BK due to next to BJ, nearer to KL and avoided IOI jam.

I also calculate my financial. LTV 70% is a big hit. The concept and low dense, no doubt I like it very much. If not, I won't even vested big units at KR2, which is LH and 720 units condo.

Most likely I skip bcz I had booked 2 units of 1457 sq ft ( due to 1 unit probably for own stay ) and found myself funny if I book another same design and same concept unit at RR.

Unless I cancel 1 unit at KR2, then I will take a unit here, RR. If I book a 14xx sq ft unit again, perhaps, after both VP, KR2 would be easier to flip compare to this. The FH status and low dense really tick me on. Hopefully it sell much higher so I could forget it. Lol.

If below RM 450 per sq ft. Most likely, I would have troublesome for choosing which size.

If really at RM 427.5 per sq feet after discount, I would say it is quite reasonable price ... the freebies given, will make it well below RM 400 psf and no doubt, I am assure it can be more hotter than KR2 bcz It is consider cheap...

And it poses a damm real threat to TZ, where the current highest transaction breaching over RM 400 psf for plain unit. TZ is a great looking normal condo. But the concept of RR, quiet and greenery, as well as low density and newer, easily takes RR ahead of TZ without any doubt.

I had made up my mind for BJ, bcz it offers more room for rental investment than BK.

Bro, agree with you that this RR is quite good for own stay, but mind to share why it's bad for investment?

Haha, as expected.

They can do this trick at KR1 and KR2, yet still so hot and open up units with increased price of RM 20k, people still buy.

they can copy and paste the KR1&2 concept to RR in Kinrara, they save a lot of cost here but using the same consultancy, masterplan, layout plan and etc ... why not they copy and paste the sticker game strategy again at RR?

LOL ...

Better they stick the whole 238 units, if not, if i see good unit and high floor, i scared i hand itchy issue cheque ...

About 60%, all good units for smallest sizes ( 1057 sq feet and 1256 sq feet ) at good levels, all stickered ...

Left thouse units at Level 1-6, Lvl 23-30 where big big units with extra garden, extra balcony and bigger balcony ....

Hehe, no worry, wait for RR news first ... maybe we got chance to sneak in ...

If I really get a unit here, I have 2 months time whether to drop a unit at KR2, bcz both 1457 sq feet units, worry a lot since both same developer and expected VP at the same time ...

It's true. If they want to build RR first, low dense of 238 units probably only takes them 2 years plus to complete.

But with KR1 on the road, I don't think KR2 and RR can be VP at the same time.

Anyhow, I don't mind they drag the KR2 since it is DIBS.
