Where are the support to double up the price coming from? I wish to find if anybody knows who are the people buying Anggun or Rawang at large? Are there a lot of factory nearby? If not, hard for me to see the potential. Can somebody tell me?
Hi Jerry88,
I will try to answer your question to the best of my knowledge on the overall owners who bought and stayed in Anggun 1 -, I am currently staying in Anggun 1, now about 2-3 years after VP, the neighborhood has reasonably good occupancy rates of about 90%+ and more houses are being renovating each month, and thankfully, most of the neighbor here are getting quite close and know each other, there has been quite a bit of gathering, open houses etc among different jalan jalan
"I wish to find if anybody knows who are the people buying Anggun or Rawang at large?"Anggun 1:Majority of the owners in Anggun 1, as I can see about half of us here are business owners, running businesses in different fields, small to large, professionals, we have several lawyers, accountants, auditors, air stewardess, engineers working in oil and gas industry, white collars working in MNCs, telcos, directors and decision maker of large factories nearby as well, there are also a few expatriates families, one of my immediate neighbor family is from Korea, and I heard there are some Chinese families, Japanese families too etc. At least one thing I am pretty sure for Anggun 1 is that at least half of the residents here does not work in Rawang or nearby, we commute about half an hour daily to work in KL, PJ, Shah Alam, some even further at Putrajaya etc.
Anggun 2:With Anggun 2 owners getting keys next week, I am not yet sure about the residential mix, but from the past visits in the sales gallery, chat with the SA, cars in the carpark etc, I get the impression that there are even more business owners who are buying into Anggun 2, these are the people who demands gated and guarded security, prefer a laid back lifestyle away from the hectic work schedules, and also are flexible on their travel time to their work for not needing to be caught in the peak hour traffic.
"Where are the support to double up the price coming from?Are there a lot of factory nearby? If not, hard for me to see the potential. Can somebody tell me?"In my personal view, there are lots of reasons that are luring people into Rawang recently:
Major Infrastructure Upgrades:The fly-over in front of Rawang Toll (NSE) is progressing well, and should be ready in about a year, it will be followed by road expansion leading to AEON, Anggun, and Bandar Country Homes. Besides this, NSE is adding 1x additional lanes for both direction from Rawang until Jalan Duta completing in 2 years, major works has begun on the south-bound for adding the additional lanes as we can see now. The Rawang NSE Toll will also be expanded in the near future.
Growth and Catalyst from Major Developers:There has been a growing number of reputable developers coming into this area, bringing their expertise for successful township, loyal customers etc. Guoccoland, HongBeeland, Mah Sing, Glomac, Lowyat etc are already in this area, and soon Tan & Tan, Bandaraya Development Berhad will be onboard and bring more value to the surrounding. The current commercial catalyst, AEON Rawang, Mc Cafe, Anggun City, Tenby International school (coming soon), hospitals (coming soon) are all catalyst from 1x reputable developer at the moment and that is not even all, there are still parcels of lands allocated for commercial that are yet to be developed. It is interesting to see what others will bring to the table soon when they join the fray.
Intense Population Growth of Klang Valley:It is no secret that population of Klang Valley is experiencing major urban migration from other states, and hence not just this development in this part of Rawang, the developments will spread wider, klang valley, greater KL or whatever we will call it in the future will just go into wider radius. In 2010, the population of Klang Valley is recorded to be about 5 million, and according to a report that I have read on Greater KL (http://etp.pemandu.gov.my/annualreport/upload/ENG_NKEA_Greater_KLKV.pdf), we are expected to have about 10 millions residence by year 2020. Imagine doubling the population, it will means that we will be experiencing more than 5% population growth in the coming years, and as we know, there are only 2 way to accommodate the population growth, either we stay in taller highrise, or the residential distance acceptable range will spread further away from the cities, and in geographic setting like Selangor, we will definately see both as we are not an Island, or surrounded by lots of mountains etc. Afterall, to travel to this part of Rawang, if one is working in downtown KL, or PJ north that in my opinion PJ north is shaping up like a new golden triangle with the massive numbers of commercials, offices, coming up near bandar utama, mutiara damansara, kota damansara, damansara perdana that will also means a lot more people will be working in PJ north, and both downtown KL and PJ north is only less than 30 minutes from this part of Rawang, so the travelling time of 30 minutes will be attractive to many.
If we have friends or relatives living in other metropolis in the world with more than 10 million population, we will easily know that traveling times of 30 minutes is very little. My friends in tokyo told me that it is normal for people in tokyo to travel 1-2 hour each way to work everyday. The norms for our acceptable traveling time will change overtime, as such, the norm of travelling 15-20 minutes as an acceptable travelling time in the past is already changing to 30-40 minutes IMO, and soon, Rawang will be consider very close for most people when the norms changes to accepting traveling time to work for living 1 hour away from the city. That day shall come, when the population in Klang Valley grow to 10 million, and that will be supporting migration into this part of Rawang as well. That is my personal opinion
Here are the photos that I have taken tonight on Mc Cafe, cappuccino brewing soon
