Mah sing is BBB-
spsetia is BBB+

Yes. Brand influenced a bit but location is important too.

Btw, Rawang is already heading on BBB mode such as M Residence, every phase of Guocoland in Emerald Series and other smaller scales are doing well. It was notice since the opening of Jaya Jusco.

Rawang no SP Setia but not only Mah Sing was there, they also having Glomac, Guocoland ( the taikor in Sg Buloh and Rawang ), and a huge piece of lands belongs to Sunway JV with Sunrise / UEM, BRDB and Tan & Tan are yet to materialize the products. With the Selayang part along Jln Kuching stretch to Jalan Rawang is booming, Rawang is nearer to KL.

Rawang is huge, those nearer KL is already booming, while another part of Rawang still remain a bit hulu.

If SP manage to make Semenyih nearer to KL with multiple highways, entry and exits, it can be a good location with such large and potential township. Though,nearer KL is not the main objective of ppl buying into Semenyih area. Semenyih definitely needs time.

Rawang not good meh? My friend invested there 5 yrs ago registered min 600% cap gain and 30% rental yield...a man'posion is another man's meat

Location is still important. But in this case SP Setia is trying to make the site more accessible by building a new link. Just my two cents.

alot hiway link to semenyih ...

the link to lekas will be done. it is not very long, just to tap on it. one way only, not a loop.

check out the map or take a drive. i estimate this place to be 60km from damansara toll, 40km from kl city center, 25km from seremban.

rawang is surely much nearer to pj/kl city.

i surely think it's primarily the brand that's drawing the interest.

if uem, talam or even sime is doing it, will it get same interest?

uem did great in nusajaya

Hi AVFAN,

Nice info, albeit no entirely correct. Based from my observation via google map (bold was the winner in terms of distance):-


SP Setia Eco Hill to KL: 39 km
Rawang to KL: 32 km

SP Setia Eco Hill to PJ: 45 km
Rawang to PJ: 35 km

SP Setia Eco Hill to Putrajaya: 25 km
Rawang to Putrajaya:63 km

SP Setia Eco Hill to Cyberjaya: 34 km
SP Setia Eco Hill to Cyberjaya: 69 km

SP Setia Eco Hill to KLIA: 43 km
Rawang to KLIA: 89 km



Overall, SP Setia Eco Hill Semenyih has an advantage for workers in Putrajaya/Cyberjaya and KLIA. Rawang has slight advantage for workers in KL and PJ (nearer by 7 - 10 km). However, comparing Semenyih to Rawang was probably like comparing then U.S. President Lyndon Johnson (Texas Southern) with then U.S. President JFK (Nothern Massachusetts). I would say Semenyih will be a hotspot for the southern KL growth corridor, while Rawang may be a hotspot for the northern KL.

The SP Setia name, combined with the affordable housing and the strategic access to the southern Klang Valley draws a fundamental interest for the first time home buyers and for the real-estate investors.

Note that in Kajang (about 7km from Semenyih), top developer TTDI Grove, Kajang residential houses were sold-out in less than six months, while mid-tier developer MKH Hillpark, Kajang residential houses were sold-out less than nine months. So I suggest you may want to rethink your statement about "if uem, talam or even sime is doing it, will it get same interest?", as Semenyih was not far away from Kajang.

Keep up the productive discussion going

when talking of near or far, one has to define the center, a reference point.

kl as a center... is it klcc, bukit bintang or sultan ismail?

or it's now putrajaya, cyberjaya, klia?

As I said, your info was correct for people who work in KL, but not entirely correct for people for work in the southern KL (especially in Putrajaya/Cyberjaya/Bangi). And I have made the comparison via facts and data earlier, of which Rawang has slight advantage in terms of accessibility location to KL and PJ.

Thank you and I appreciate your inputs and response, AVFAN

agree, correct.

which is why i said earlier in this thread that for this eco-hill to be a hit, there must be people from bangi, nilai, kajang and surroundings buying new or subsale eventually to live there. can' expect many from kl-pj to move there so easily.

so, flippers, think about that!

+1

Good information, izzudrecoba

Thanks for the info

the above observation is also seen in 2010-2012 in just about all new house launches in rawang, sg buluh, klang, shah alam, incl the fringe and marginal areas. by the same argument, any new housing area will be good, no? moreover, sold out at launch may not mean good investor profits in the desired time frame.

imo, the buying fever is not the same, not the best idea to use the likely one-time bbb to justify any buying from now on.
look at the data carefully, esp pages 7 and 8. in some districts, some housing types, prices have started to fall in 3q2012.

buy for own stay, ok. buy for investment, it may take donkey years of holding vacant prop and bank interest paying to finally give a decent return.

having said that, there will always be jewels among the dirt. some risk taking will have to be taken in order to hope for a good return.
this dev has a fine reputation and record for such development, so it is a plus. i certainly won't say that for all developers.

Any brother know when Setia Semenyih launch?

According to SP Setia, the project will be launched on March/April 2013.

No worry, SP is getting very near to Rawang with the recent JV in Templer Park Project.
