Medang Serai Bangsar?

Another super high end development....selling price will be skyrocket high due to the low density....

they estimate total sales value of RM800mil; circa 6.6mil each ;(

All huge built up

This area is the last green area around bukit bandaraya..why on earth would the authorities give approval for this development.

And they talking rubbish about making KL a greener city, but destroying all the green lungs.

I'm sure this will be brought up in the media (the media wants to act as if they care about environment), but by that time will be too late. The land would have been cleared up already.

This is the usually scenario happening nowadays.

This piece of land is privately owned. Imagine if you were the land owner, what will you do?

I'll lease/sell it to whichever party makes a good offer, let them to decide what do they want to do

Of course its not BRDB's fault, they are a business organization and their primary objective is to make profits.

My frustration is on the authorities which first of all gave so many approvals to condos around bukit bandaraya destroying all the available green areas.

A right thing to do now would be to buy the land bank from BRBD, or reach an agreement with them such as a land swap deal with another piece of land that can get a similiar GDP value.

Once the state owns the land they can gazzete it as a park/green lung.

It can be done..its just a matter of the authrorities being more responsible..

then those living in DBKL area need to contribute a very good large sum amount every year.

Aiyoo...the state is very rich la..no problems in getting the land. like i said there are other ways..they can swap the land. maybe give BRBD a large plot of land in Putrajaya to develop instead..

we must look at the bigger picture, when New York can have a huge park right in the middle of the city why cant we? its all a matter of planning and being responsible at it..

There is definately a way to stop this development if the goverment really wants to..the point is whether they feel its important enough or not..

brdb plot is so small.

now we have park in kl - klcc park and one in pandan/maluri there. heard bandar malaysia will have a park too. unless make klgcc as a public park too..

add on: is desa park city's park + TTDI park calculated?

haha..then more developments will come out with the name park but have a tiny plot of greens in the middle of it..

well the plot is considered one of the last green lungs in bukit bandaraya area, 6 acres is still quite big and worth to preserve..

anymore info about this project?

this is in the heart of bangsar rite, is there any other high end projects around KL?

this project is launched

Added on September 21, 2012, 11:32 am(2) BRDB is going ahead with the launch of Medang Serai
(GDV: RM RM876mil) in Bangsar in 2HFY12 with 121 units
on offer. The starting price for these units will be about
RM4mil-RM5mil (or RM1,000psf-RM1,200psf) and we are
quite positive there will be strong response given that this
could be one of the last high-rise developments within
Bangsar, if not the last. We are estimating about 60% take-
up within the first year.

look at the pricetag and the economy condition now.

Bad timing hence...doubt this is going to be laku.

this project is catering for who's who.

maybe cronie with deep pocket.

remember got somone using cow $$ to buy 10mil ++ bangsar condo. ?

Watch it OUT !

richmen are not affected by economy... they'll still continue to buy

I live in bukit bandaraya. Really sad to see one of the last green lung of bangsar being destroyed, pass by Medang Serai just now and they're chopping the trees..

with the development of the MRT, more greens are being destroyed along Sprint...

We've protested through the bukit bandaraya association but what can we do...development konon...

Just hope they don't destroy the whole jungle to build this thing and leave some greens left around damaisari and tivoli area

went to BRDB and the selling price is out of this world....i think even more expensive than one menerung...

Added on October 4, 2012, 8:42 pmI agree with you bro, it's the last green area we have at bukit bandaraya...

really really devastated that it's coming down after so many years...some of the trees there are ancient !

wonder if we can hug the trees there and stop this

BRDB unveils ambitious KL luxurious condo project with GDV of RM900mil[SIZE=7]

KUALA LUMPUR: Just a couple of months after its privatisation, property developer Bandar Raya Developments Bhd (BRDB) chief executive officer Datuk Jagan Sabapathy unveiled the company's most luxurious and ambitious project to date, Serai, with a gross development value of about RM900mil.

Located at Bukit Bandaraya, Kuala Lumpur, Serai comprises 121 condo units located in two 21-storey towers. Sold at between RM1,300 and RM1,500 per sq ft, the units range from 4,025 sq ft to 6,913 sq ft.
There will be two penthouses of 14,000 sq ft, priced between RM19mil and RM22mil. Serai sits on six acres, the last piece of prime real estate in the Bukit Bandaraya area.

In just slightly less than three months, 54% of the units have been sold, the majority to Malaysians. There are two foreign buyers.

“Serai marks one of our most luxurious and ambitious developments to date, a landmark residential icon that celebrates our brand values of intelligent design, uplifting aesthetics and cosmopolitan living,” Jagan said at the launch.

Chief marketing officer K.C. Chong said the speed at which the sales were done was “hugely gratifying” considering the glut of larger condominium units today.

The overall property market has been pretty slow the past year particularly for the high-end larger units.

BRDB was delisted on Oct 29 following the completion of a general offer for its shares and warrants by Ambang Sehati Sdn Bhd, which is controlled by BRDB chairman Datuk Mohamed Moiz Jabir Mohamed Ali Moiz. However, Chong said “it will be business as usual” in BRDB.

“This was the message communicated to us time and again by Datuk Jagan,” said Chong.

The road to delisting took about a year and attracted much attention initially because that journey started with the intention by major shareholder Ambang Sehati Sdn Bhd, which is controlled by Moiz, to buy over BRDB's prized assets (the Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC), Menara BRDB, CapSquare Retail Centre and Permas Jusco Mall) for RM914mil.

That proposal was aborted and Ambang Sehati instead made the general offer subsequently.

Now that the chapter is closed, Chong said the guiding principles of its projects remained the same intelligent design, aesthetics and cosmopolitan in terms of the provision of the latest technology

Crazy price (5 million to 22 million), but people still buy..i guess bangsar just has that appeal that not many other places in this country has :-)

Sad to see the nice big trees being cut though...

KUALA LUMPUR: Bandar Raya Development Bhd (BRDB) launched
its last prime piece of real estate in Bukit Bandaraya yesterday.
Situated in Jalan Medang Serai, Serai Bukit Bandaraya comprises 121
private residences situated at two 21-storey towers on 2.4ha of land.
Designed to resemble high-end bungalows, individual unit sizes start
from 4,000 sq ft to 12,000 sq ft for the penthouse.
The official launch of Serai was marked by the unveiling of a brand new
show home at BRDB’s sales gallery in Bangsar by CEO Datuk Jagan
Sabapathy.
“Serai marks one of our most luxurious and ambitious developments to
date, a landmark residential icon that celebrates our brand values of
intelligent design, uplifting aesthetics and cosmopolitan living,” said
Sabapathy.
To commemorate the launch of Serai Bukit Bandaraya, BRDB unveiled
the Serai Artist Series, which display the works of artists consisting of
SC Shekar, an internationally renowned photographer; Jalaini Abu
Hassan, one of the most established fine artists in Malaysia; and Dr
June Ngo, a pioneering innovator of the art of Songket.
“BRDB has always been a keen
supporter of the local arts fraternity
and the launch of Serai presented
an opportunity for us to mark our
legacy in Bangsar with an artistic
milestone,” said Sabapathy.
The Serai development is equipped
with numerous facilities such as a
recreational podium, children’s play
area, a swimming pool and an
overhanging pavilion. It is expected
to be completed in the third quarter
of 2016.

Does anyone knows what is the actual selling price ( $/sq ft)?

This post has been edited by hokin: Dec 21 2012, 12:09 PM

Smallest size, from RM 1,400 psf onwards ...... Means cheapest unit from smallest unit, 4025 sq feet starts from RM 5.63 million, worth as much as any bungalow in Bangsar enclave ...

The most high end condo in Bukit Bandaraya Bangsar, the last gem of the freehold land, or so-called Crown Jewel after One Menerung , probably eclipsing some of the gigantic development in KLCC such as Troika and etc, but definitely above the class of the Mont Kiara series ...

IMHO, One Menerung had brought up BRDB a lot in this enclave, and not much people extected such a super expensive condo like One Menerung can have such great appreciation ...

The buyers of Serai, are really no play play ...

Many owners move from bangsar bungalow to big condo for safety and prestige I guess. Encounter a few

NFC ada beli ka yang ini?

Really?

Probably most of them buy it bcz the last piece of Jewel by BRDR at Bukit Bandaraya. Most Bangsar bungalow owners very confident with their current living and anything super high end condo, they keep as luxury resort holiday homes.

Their profile really no play play.

I thought the minimum price is at least 7 million?
Really luxurious to the max!

Heard its left less the 10 units available.
FYI, the largest, 6900sf+ (>40 units) almost fully taken up.
Not to mention the smallest one(4000sf+) gone in first opening week.

Sigh, still so many rich ppl...

Yes yes, i went to the show gallery with appointment only, very impressive sales!

Any updates on this project?

Fully sold?

Any units available???

Last 2 months i checked.. Was a Rm5m unit and the 2 penthouse still available..
Pent house is rm22 miillion and rm26 million..

RM26 million?

Then might as well buy KLCC?

That is what i heard la..

People who can afford this already own the whole taman hehe

project is delayed..

expect 5 months delay at minimal..

why delay? fully sold still delay?

Still got units.

wah send brochure today to hoses today n stated completing in 1 yr.. Can ah?

Are there any unit that are available for this project?

Do note, tis 7-22mil Serai condo is near d MRT track but not near the station.. I bliv at this price level, most buyers would own ferrari/bentley etc

Is it starts selling?

no lah, don't thik it's too near the track, blocked by bangsar puteri ma. next to tivoli.
very good property... too bad i no money

the station if not mistaken about 5-10 min walk.

late is good. LAD.

Refer to old post.. selling few yrs d..

Jus measured on wikimapia.. 80m away from the MRT track.. its directly facing the MRT track n bangsar puteri is adjacent n also facing MRT (albeit closer).

Proximity of Malaysias MOST expensive condo to the MRT station

It must be one of the best developments in Bangsar in recent years - I have never seen so many developers buying into a project like this.

Many developers' big bosses buy into this project for own stay - BRDB boss (obviously), See Hoy Chan, Paramount, Binastra, Akisama etc.

I would like to think these big boys know their stuff well and the fact that many of them bought into this is indeed a feather in the cap for BRDB.

They don’t have faith or believe in their own products?

Either that or maybe their own products not located at a place high end enough to make their own place to live.

anybody know what is the sales take up rate?
fully sold or brdb still having some units leftover?

any owner got unit for rent/sale here?
