Visited the so-called furnished showroom, apart from the poor quality of the fittings on the room (try knocking the wardrobe, it's the cheap melamine type), the showroom also doesn't really tell you the exact furnishing you get, ie they still add a lot of ID to it. They are selling the place as fully furnished, but the truth is so far from that. For something that is RM1000psf above, the choice of fittings are not that great, toilet tiles are a let down, main door is a plain white fire door.
The only thing going for them is that the ceiling is really high at 3.5 metres.
They are so ashamed of the sales, they no longer show the sales chart anymore.

At the end of the day, they badly misjudged the timing of the cooling measures introduced and thus priced bayberry horribly wrong! Is it still safe to say the only safe buyers here are arnica's?

Is the hotel confirmed? I thought they might want to make it an office tower since they sold their offices in Tropicana City Mall, and move their corporate offices to TG.
The only winners so far are Arnica, and they are located JUST in front of the MRT station, whereas Bayberry and Cyperus are both further from it and cost more expensive.

I thought Bayberry was the closest to the station? further away means more noise? I think hotel n opis same tower...tall tall one.. hotel usually 10-15 floors enough

I could be wrong on the location of the station, but if memory served me right, the low-hanging station was closer to Arnica.
They definitely have changed their plans since the launch of Arnica, even the mall has changed shaped, if you notice from the brochure for Arnica, the mall has a more geometric design whereas the new one is more curvy. Also there was no hotel or 5th tower in Arnica brochure.
Of course plans will change all the time.

Bayberry buyers may be upset, but I would rather take the empty units because the "furnished" units at Cyperus is not that outstanding.

I think many retailers would rather operate from Empire City Mall la. This KD mall should serve the whole guthrie corridor also right? Denai Alam side gt a lot of new houses n SD is not gona build any mall for now. dis is only 12km from Denai alam

Current mall n overall design/concept of TG is much btr than before. last time jus looks like 4 buildings n 1 mall..now 4+1 n mall with beautiful design.. Btw, will the mall be open at night for ppl to walk to the MRT i mean after 11 n all?

frankly, nowadays so many malls - its a dog eat dog world already.
and now they have issue with selling cyperus, buyers can only hope they hav some grand plans up their sleeves to pull it off and be THE one.
actually, out of curiosity, if the station is nearer arnica, is better for arnica right?, cos the train would have stopped / or close to stopping by the time the reached the station, and thus, less noise.

Like I said earlier, what u see is not what U will get...so insincere... Not only sales chart which was previously on electronic board not shown any more but the SA also look like no motivation to sell...u can sense it quite strongly
