This Anggun 3 is much bigger size than Anggun 1 & 2, my last visit, the sales said altogether 312 units of 2/3storey link, and 2/3 storey Semi D, will break into different phases.

Someone said there is a centralised toxic antiseptic tank there at the Anggun 3 site, anyone can confirmed?

i dont think it is 800K for 2 storey link, i called the sales, they said from RM600K and above which i think it is NOT going to happened if they were to launch it end of the year. I guesstimate it shd be around 600K, 24 x 80 ft land size, 2850 sq ft BU, translate into around RM210psf.

Well bro, I believe Rawang is not everyone's cup of tea still although it is changing with more people liking this area everyday. Noted the tentative price that I mentioned is the price I heard from my source, though not confirm yet since they have not announce it, and whether it is before or after any discount , buildup size etc is not known yet too. But, it sounds possible, considering the emerald Gardens 2 storey is now 800k+, without clubhouse, slightly further in and is almost sold out already too, and Bandaraya is expected to launch their Semi-ds tentatively starting from 1.5mil to 2mil by end of next year too.

The point that I am trying to make is, it is true that the price does not sounds cheap, but I don't think there is other landed development that is cheaper than this development still or has something comparable with the following:

- within 25km radium from KL/PJ/Shah Alam
- Freehold
- Gated and Guarded
- Tenby International School in the pipeline
- Clubhouse on a lake
- Perimeter CCTV, grand entrance with 24/7 security
- Still in the early stage of developments, with lots of potential in the near future.
- with an AEON mall (or comparable neighbourhood mall) with cinema at your doorsteps
- with new commercial that are similar to the type of Sunway Giza under construction now, and developer has reserved many lots to partially control the tenant mix targeted to preferred tenants, such as banks, restaurants etc.
- Without front gate: hence neighbors and children have more interaction (Many residence in Anggun 1 is experiencing the same thing, unlike other taman where children is usually not safe play outside, here every evening, we can see many children and family playing or gathering outside, though need to watch out for cars and not recommended to play at junction for safety.
- The developments by Hongbeeland, Guocoland, Tan& Tan, and Bandaraya, 4x heavy weight developers are developing side by side and each of them are benchmarking themselves as a high-end development, it will be a DPC, Setia Eco Park, Sierramas, a combination or something even better that will be built side by side.

Still if it is the location of Rawang that is one concern, I belief we should break up into these 2 to objectively determine how "Good" is the location:

Location - Distance:
I always belief that distance is a definite scientific measurement rather than objective, although we are often misguided by our perception/feeling that it is so far/long to travel to this area or that area. But, we can objectively determine the far/closeness of the location, and how long/short it takes to travel to the place that we go most often, e.g. works, or family/friends/relative etc. I have find this information by bro masbruno very helpful to determine the Distance part
Location - Surrounding/Branding:
On the other hand, if the surrounding/branding of the location is a concern, it is changing, and it will continue to change. Successful Landed Gated & Guarded enclave in the initial stage often take times to change its perception due to its size of the land for the township, and when it has developed and changed the perception, many people have already missed the boat . Past is good to serve as a reference/starting point, but how the area is changing to become in the future is more important, some of the example:
- DPC, it is previously being perceived as in Kepong,
- Sierramas, it is previously being perceived as in Sungai Buloh
- Setia Ecopark, it is previously being perceived as in Klang/Meru.
- and now the 4 developments by Hongbeeland, Guocoland, Tan & Tan, and Bandaraya, EACH are benchmarking themselves to become the next successful high-end gated and guarded developments such as above, it is still being perceived as in Rawang. but noticed the change of perception for Rawang is already happening in such a short time over the past 2-3 years? now is still before Bandaraya with their high end development coming in, and Tan & Tan with their Sierramas 2 coming in and already have experience in rebranding Sungai Buloh previously coming in too. This perception for this place is already changing rapidly already. There are 5000 acres+ of land 3-4 km radium from AEON Rawang for a combination of medium-high and high-end developments, and there are 2000+ acres side by side of AEON Rawang by 4 reputable developers moving towards developing this area as a high end landed development, massive gated and guarded residential, beautiful landscape, commercials etc.

In the next few years, this area will be THE LARGEST GATED AND GUARDED, HIGH-END LANDED residential area, probably in the entire Malaysia. And with the security in recent years in many places deteriorating and people are more into lifestyle house, rather than just a house, this area will be very much sought-after more and more everyday. Just like in the past when people are looking for high-rise residential, many people might settle for an apartment without security or facilities, now the trend is security and facility is a must, and buyer buying a mid and above high-rise residential will not settle for one without security and facilities, and IMHO, the trend now is security and facilities is moving towards a must for high-end residential seeker, too, and this area has a massive Gated & Guarded development to fill in that gap

Was told Hong Bee Land is the sister company of Hong Leong Group. If u can trust Hong Leong Group, then shd not be any issues.

Well bro, I believe Rawang is not everyone's cup of tea still although it is changing with more people liking this area everyday. .....................

Isn't it true that if supply is high (thousands of acres), price will not go up easily. Furthermore, land cost cheap in Rawang.

Is Hong Bee a reliable developer? Financially sound?

from my understanding, HBL owned the whole land area. HBL = Hong Bee Land. They JV with HL to formed Guocoland and at the same time leave some land for their own Development thru PURA DEVELOPMENT SDN BHD. HBL is from Singapore. in terms of Financial support, it's not a worry cos they have Anggun 1 and Anggun 2 completed.

+1. i like your judgement. Far or close is very subjective for different individual. it's all down to own preference to determine the purchase of property and not just buy buy buy. same goes to price. expensive or cheap... very subjective. last time during Anggun 1 launch @ RM 420K, i did mentioned the price is expensive looking at the location of Rawang and put a negative view on Anggun 1. But i am darn wrong looking at the success. But so what, look at now, Anggun 1 able to fetch at RM 850K.

btw, are u styaing in anggun?

Yes, per bro Jason_chee, they are the original land owner keeping the land for like half a century, with another piece in Johor (now Setia Eco Gardens). They have SOLD the land for partial payment of RM200+Mil and/plus JV with SP Setia to develop Setia Eco Gardes in Johor, and did the same for the Guocoland JV, by sold the land for partial payment of RM??Mil, and/plus JV with Guocoland to develops Emerald East+West. They have kept land for their own Anggun developments, now the portion below Emerald West, all the way till behind caltex, even the land  above/on top of Emerald West (bigger land), is also their own land for future developments, some contractor that I have met for Anggun said there are more actually lol, not sure whether that is true on that part, but the one we are seeing now below Emerald for their Anggun is definately theirs, and the one undeveloped above Emerald West is also theirs.
............
I believe they are a cash rich company, considering they sold both piece of land (for a lumsum), then JV for recurring income on both successful project before they start their own, even the AEON rawang developments is a turnkey project, where they build the whole shopping mall, and then sold it to AEON group, if my source is correct.
.......
Yes, I am staying in Anggun 1 for almost 2 years now, seeing more neighbours moving in every month. Staying here, I have noticed that the community living is quite good, without gate, the landscape, gated & guarded, is doing a big part. Without front gate and side fence at the front part, people are more inclined to meet up with neighbours during gardening, car washing, evening walking etc, and the part with landscape more people do evening walk, and hence closer relationship among neighbours, and neighbour's children, too. I have heard there are some Japanese and Chinese national family staying here too, and few doors away from my house, another Korean family is moving in too with their renovation almost completed, there will be more and more expats looking for a peaceful and secure environment when the Tenby International school is up.  .................. 

good to hear you've been staying there since VP. i bought subsales last year (when AEON started construction) and i moved in last CNY. even though i pay 50% on top of the launching price, it was great environment there. i love the landscape and almost everything about the place. most importantly, my wife and kids like it. good to know you're neighbour.

Jason, mind to share what was the initial launching price directly from developer? For both Anggun1 and Anggun 2

I remember Anggun2 launched at about 480k then slowly increased phase by phase til 595k, no?

I bought it @ 659K, think just left few units then.

Still hv > 20 units left for below RM900k.
Actual price will be released in Sept.

R u referring to Anggun 2? Thought sold out unless developers still reserves some

from my source, they lease the land to AEON for 30 years. construction and development costs are from AEON themselves with reduced leasing amount over 30 years. not sure whether it's true or not.

Yes Anggun 2.
I m not sure of those are unsold or reserved units. But they will open for sales next month.

Good to know that you are a neighbour and nice to meet you here, I will pm you the next time we are having some bbq session
The last few units of Anggun 1 is from 498k, and the starting price of Anggun 2 is like 580k++ when it is open for booking to previous Anggun 1 owner, then the last few units that are open for sale in 2010 are 650k-700k.
Hey Cheah, thanks for sharing, I have confirmed with HBL, and they confirmed the same 24 units of Anggun 2 available for sale next month, price to be confirmed, but tentatively below 900k. It shall be reserved units as opposed to unsold units, as over the past 2 years, I have visited their sales office many times for matters regarding anggun 2, maintenence fees etc, and I confirms that the sticker board is all full since end of 2010 and then no longer in the sales office. Perhaps they have reserved 24 units for sale after AEON Jusco completed, and before VP, sounds like a good buy for potential buyer and developer is also earning more money for the same units too, as Anggun 1 subsale is transacting at 800-850k (35x75 2400+sqft), 750k-800k (32x75 2200+sqft), now Anggun 2 is tentatively <900k 40x80 2700+sqft, with the additional permeter fence and cctv, and central park with water features.
