I am sure if and when it become a much sought after upperclass residential area, the good and excellent amenities will follow suit nearby....UDA Town Park may become a thriving commercial hub with fine dining, pubs, entertainment outlets etc...may hv more health care facilities, international school, Motessori schools.....these will happen if there are demands.
I think it will take quite long time for it to become so called much sought after upperclass residential area if that ever happens. No doubt there are existing bungalows and new semi-ds nearby wotp which kinda give u high class residential feel. But the current amenities nearby just not enough to bring up that area (surprised to see citibank set up there), many shoplots are not vacant from what i have observed. Not to mention there are low medium cost apartments scattered around which are not well maintained (e.g next to vina).
I found Alam Damai nearby gives me more so called high class feel. Roads are wide and nice (only recently), many trees along the main road. Not sure how is the commercial doing there though.
Yes, a commercial hub is needed to bring up BTHO. Hopefully the UDA town park is able to lift that place to another level.
BTW I'm not familiar with BTHO, these are just what I observed when I went site survey there.
The wotp is definitely a good project. No doubt.
Just my 2 cents.
