Better think like  ..it;s an exclusive highway toll for Alam impian......i think aleast there is LKSA highway to alam impian is very good in my opinion....less jam and traffic..the only disadvantage is paying 0.60 toll.......Buying house above rm500k.....i think able to coup wif 0.60 sen toll...

i've made my booking for pentas 3 yesterday..for one of the lot..hopefully i am not on the kiv list!

btw..no more dibs..

after i've done extensive research..i think this housing quite value for money...build up psf is 250...almost extinct in alam impian. even chanting sub sale is about the same price ?

Ohh, ya, No. 23 or 27 ( this row ) is Type A1/A1a which is built up 3499 sq feet and No. 14 is Type A2/A2a which is 3273 sq feet built up ...

IMO, it is worthy to take 3499 sq feet since additional RM 20k only from 3273 sq feet unit. ( differs by 226 sq feet )

But I prefer A2 layout especially Ground Floor where the kitchen is not as compact as A1, however, A1 has extra study area which is separated from the upper floor living hall. Though it is not so crucial for me, but it has added value where the study area can be sacrifice to extend the space for Bedroom 3.

Wahh, you're at oversea, then I think it is quite difficult.

Hmm, if you havent pay cheque / fund transfer, I think it is not consider booking yet. Probably the Non Bumi KIV person mentioned to me was you.

ya...i have intention to own stay for a few yrs...if you want to flip..i dont think pentas is a good choice..because not much capital gain and high entry cost...i think the value will double in 7-8 yrs time (if our economy continue to grow) to fully realise it's potential...so pentas is good for those with strong holding power..i think..my personal opinion..dont shoot me..

Actually both A1 and A2 got its pro and con.

Ya, agree that, due to Pentas 3 have full glass door next to the main entrance door, thus can see thru the living hall n kitchen. In fact, it can be covered by curtain and in terms of feng shui talk, I only like the wooden door on the side instead of directly facing auto gate. So, it wont be consider easy come and easy go.

A2 also has disadvantage of being dining hall sandwich btw living hall and kitchen.

Honestly, if own stay, I am much happy if, no powder bathroom at the living hall and no bathroom for the utility / maid room. The bathroom shouldnt attach togrther with the utility room or at best, build next to it, so if a wife cooking n need to go toilet, she wouldnt have to go thru utility room, guest room or thru living hall.

For investment being, I definitely picks A1 due to larger built up for a small premium.

Just visit AI sales gallery last saturday, Pentas 2 left only 3 units for non-bumi and Pentas 3 sold out (SA told me)? ermmm

Nukilan 3 got 13 units available.

i got my LO from InP! yay...nw i hope my loan gets approved!

They've opened up the pentas 1 area and can see from the road..

Haha. Ok la, then I arrange to do a budget hotel with budget rooms fair with xtra services ... Kakakakalaka.

will start first with KFC --> then Pizza Hut - Mcdonald's , all the kopitiams and starbucks.. just need something to kickstart the commercial area.. hopefully with the petrol station.. things will come up ..

P1 but the picture posted is wrong, the agent put P3 picture

AI appreciation for own stay due to built-up area. AI owner need holding power for 5 years minimum.
It b'cz alot empty land for future project here. I&P project since 2006, now 7 years ago. Picking-up like Proton vs Hyundai, where Proton definitely slow.

I suggest AI commercial sale to SPS, then market got hope.

Otherwise market collapse affected surrounding of AI, KK, BR, Botanic and nearby.

If commercial lot build like few row of shop houses, better don't build. Sore eyes only. Furthermore  if nobody occupy you can see sticker paste everywhere looking for tenant or buyer. Very run down, just like those shop outside Bandar Botanic, opposite Jusco.

AI is a very low density township. It will be difficult to have sufficient mass needed to attract commercial players. Many developer can build commercial lots but to make it vibrant only a few i guess.
Unless you are talking abt pocket development where one build it at prime area.

Otherwise it is difficult to find some one who can build from ground zero like SP did for Setia Alam

I am not too much worry on the house pricing in AI. Look at Bdr Kinrara, after 21 yrs of development, the commercial development aspect has been a failure, based on geographical facts in 1997, we predicted that Bdr Kinrara can be the next LCG in Puchong, but it soon replaced by Bdr Puteri as the core business zone.
Until today, Bdr Kinrara still has bout 30 acres of commercial land, I can't see I&P can overturn the position now, nothing much she can do as 2 mega mix developments projects in Bkt Jalil i.e Jalil City and Paradigm OUG mix development (similar size to Mid Valley City) will soon become the new hotspot.
Kinrara landed price is still among the Top 3 most expensive in Puchong, location and accessibility is still the key factor for residential property, AI is sandwiched between, Setia Alam, I-City (North) and Kota Kemuning / Bkt Rimau (South), the position is something like Bdr Kinrara vs Bdr Puteri and Bkt Jalil.

It needs time, 2016.

p/s : For those who is 1st time buying I&P product, you must go to see the finished house.
