How about, hmm, any other high buildings surrounding the MRT station and condo???

may be go again site to check..bt tower 3 lot is highest then twr 1&2 as per my last visit..

From my observation while I'm in Singapore, the MRT track is 50 metre away from the HDB and judging from level 12, the noise pollution is pretty bad. Have to shut all windows inorder to lessen the noise level.

I did noticed mainly older train will make more noise as compared to newer train, when new train arrived at the station, the noise is significantly much more lower, about 70% differences.

Then maybe you can expect the noise of KR2 units facing LRT might be bad too, because the distance is also about 50m.

But of course, this LRT is a new station and new track, maybe they got better noise reduction capabilities.

These are the pros and cons of staying near LRT station, I've already factor in noise pollution from highway when I made the purchase. I'm sure every buyer are well aware of these issues, as long we can accomodate and bear with the cons, no biggie for me.

Noted your booking is Tower 1, high floor and Kesas view.

Thanks.

I think all purchasers of KR2 already put the factor in their decision making before paid the deposit.

I used to like to buy a condo ( if for own stay ) which is quiet, serenity and far away from LRT/KTM or not next to busy street or town. Investment is otherwise, as long as the location and location and pricing and pricing again.

Anyhow, I had once bought a unit of condo facing Pool and Highway, the noise was bad if open the balcony windows, but quite balance and fine if close it all. But the worse thing was the dusty which is quite heavy.

So, this time around, I intend to prefer to avoid Highway rather than LRT rooftop. 24 hours noise vs Noise till 12am. Very dusty vs less dusty. KL View vs 50% KL View with Golf View. I took the latter since, in case for own stay, I will avoid highway, and in terms of investment, I pick LRT view it was due to I took Type C, where only 2 units of Type C are facing LRT/Golf/South while there were total 4 units ( 2 from T3, 1 each from T1 and T2 ) available to choose for facing Pool/Highway or KL/Highway.

My decision could be different if I able to buy Type A, where all 8 units of Tower 1 and 2 were facing South ....

Anyhow, gives and takes ....

i) people would worry if the product is next to highway or LRT/KTM
ii) others would still worry if the product is at super quiet and faraway from cozy town / street / public transport / LRT or KTM ...

I am surprised that I made a decision to take KR2 due to the location and I quite like the concept of the hotel style security / lift lobby and quadrant zone .... and yes, the pricing is quite fair compare to most of others development ...

All the best!~

ANyone knows who's selling?
anyone has any contact ?
i'm looking for the smallest unit.

I'm quite new at all these. First house.

chris bro, very rational .me too..the low density for the layout is realy gd. As u hard to find wit tis price.

I was looking through the terms from my letter of offer today and found out the first drawn down must be done within 2 months, my L/O is dated 20th of May which means already overdue by a month.

Do I need to call my bank to inform the delay of S&P and further extend the date? For those who have signed their L/O what is the grace period given for the first drawn down?

very true bro...

The buyers here are already aware about the LRT and highway close proximity to KR2...
We are just trying to tell the truth so that buyers would know what to expect when the project is completed...

Its better to know now rather sign the dotted line and found out the actual is not as what we assumed earlier..
Nothing wrong with LRT and Highway nearby, its just personal preference..

IMHO, KR2 location is just great...

IMHO, yes, I rated this area a lot since few years back but I wait until this year to invest into the area. I only consider ZR and KR2 before this due to the pricing and freebies offered were fair and close to reality. Anyhow, the location is quite good, no matter it is next to LRT or Highway.

I chose KR2 due to multi tier securities in quadrant zone which most projects do not offer, again location and again, the pricing is quite fair and affordable. The facade is acceptable, although it is not the best ever and if the workmanship and quality is delivered upon VP, I would see myself to keep for own stay rather than flip for profit.

Added on August 7, 2012, 11:23 pmBro, if not mistaken, you must be sign Public Bank or MayBank but I found the clause with a bit surprise although it is not a big issue.

This is under construction project and before loan approval, the bank already analyze the project that this is project pending AP & DL, so it could takes time for S&P Signing and hence, the next step is proceed for first disbursement. Means, 2 months for first drawdown must be done is quite ridiculous and mission impossible, so what they have to do is keep on extend and extend every loan borrowers for all the projects which is pending APDL.

Even, if we able to sign the S&P now, the 2 months time duration for first drawdown could be asking too much for the solicitor, especially KR2, with 720 units and only 1 solicitor to handle S&P as well as loan documentation. Yet, if the solicitor able to do so, I don't think the bank able to disburse the bulk loans if there are 100-200 units taken the same bank.

Anyhow, it can be extended and you have no worry about it. Some certain bank grace period for under construction is up to 36 months.

Yes, 2 months for first drawdown is quite impossible. Thanks for the enlightenment Bro Chris.

Chris, just wondering why you did not vested in KR1 when it first launched since you have been looking at this area. It is also a multi tier securities in quadrant zone and price is much lower compared to KR2?

yea.. saw the news.. its pretty tricky as WCT applied for land use conversion from residential to commercial...

yup, i read this news b4.
As Klang valley resident, i can see the traffic jam is everywhere.
Congestion is not cause by the WTC mall only, but also 3-4 big condos development that the residents have not realised.

For me as kiara 2 buyer,it would be great if WTC mall happened.

no problem.. bro

Bro, I did not vested into KR1 probably because I missed it and actually, I much prefer KR2 compare to KR1 due to

i) KR2 looks a bit more higher end or grand compare to KR1 ( probably KR1 too low rise for me )
ii) KR2 was 30 storey of 3 blocks.
KR2 Level 15 onwards are high enough and most of the units have not much view blocking except for Tower 1 corner units, which escape LRT but indirectly facing tall building of KR1 / Bkt OUG Condo. Tower 2 and Tower 3 had open view units.
iii) KR1 was 4 blocks of only 12 storey high, which I deemed it is low enough since it is going to be sandwich between ZR/Rainz and KR2 and facing Bkt OUG or Highway ( feng Shui issue in terms of Wind )
iv) Location issue, I prefer KR2 because it is corner or first building and outer compare to KR1, which is going to be surrounding by buildings stated above.
( Personal view of feng shui where your territory is under attack or ambush )
v) KR2 has at least Sky Garden in all 3 towers and KR1 do not have any of it.

Anyhow, the pricing for both KR1 ( Below RM 380 psf ) and KR2 ( Above RM 400 psf ) speaks it all.

Anyone can advise me on my question which twincharger post
