I paid booking for a unit type H here but cancelled and bought G Residence by Tan & Tan instead. The cons for this project outweighed the pros that's why I decided not to proceed (price point, density, developer's reputation, location and etc.) compared to G Residence

Yes, G Residence is leasehold you're right. Location wise IMHO G Residence is better as it is accessible both from kampung pandan and ampang hilir. So during rush hour there's alternative route assuming you're coming from cbd. Also there's a proposed link to link directly to jalan jelatek. Where as in element's case, no choice but to endure the notorious rush hour traffic long Jalan Ampang..

Having said all this, I must concur element's location is better than m city in the sense that it is away from the main road therefore making it more private and exclusive.

Which exit would you take when you want to exit AKLEH?

Added on May 6, 2012, 11:47 amProject was launched in 2010 and yet they still have quite a number of units available. It got me to think what's the reason behind this.

For comparison's sake, G Residence Desa Pandan which was launched just a few months ago has only 10% remaining units (not choice units with less desirable views). Those with Golf Course and KLCC view were snapped up like hot cakes.

I think this boils down to the price point and prospect of capital appreciation and rental returns in the future upon VP.

Second exit means you'd be on ulu klang part of MRR 2 which is right before the sikh temple (first exit is jelatek setiawangsa). you can't get to the elements unless you make a big u turn at taman sri ukay. if you choose to exit at the third exit, you'd go down to ampang jaya with iskl and mutiara school on your left and the big petronas on your right, meaning you have to make a u turn still and endure the terrible traffic out of ampang jaya which is murder heading towards flamingo at peak hours. right?

I get what you mean. Have you passed through that petronas road during peak hours? Having lived in taman tar half my life, trust me, you wouldn't wanna use that road during rush hours be it in the morning or evening after work time. You can be stuck for at least half an hour just to get out from the petronas road towards flamingo or suzi's corner.

I agree with you on this. I think the M City is just simply overpriced. They are leveraging on the Jalan Ampang factor when it is not even at the so called creme de la creme part of Jalan Ampang (towards 212 DC and Menara HSC side). I find the 500sf+ unit too cramped as well.

Which type and what floor did you go for

What size?

The studio 520sf is cramped as hell! Cheap but no space to move at all.

Can we merge this thread with The Elements, mod?
