on a side note, the progress quite fast. can see the apartment (both arnica n bayberry) n the mall shaping up well. Tropicana's HQ might relocate here also. Still waiting for the hotel brand. Hopefully a good 4 star hotel like aloft

QUOTE(C&D @ Feb 4 2015, 04:22 AM) Tropicana relocating HQ here is good. But the hotel name is key... hotel name n mall anchor tenant will add to the prestige of dis TG. U bought here ah bro?

QUOTE(C&D @ Feb 4 2015, 09:21 AM) No sales chart huh. 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? Arnica sure win  now worth around 1100 d no sales chart quite malu la.

QUOTE(urb7 @ Feb 4 2015, 09:44 PM) 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

QUOTE(C&D @ Feb 4 2015, 09:50 PM) in their comm for cyperus launch, they still quote hotel. so at this point, hotel still valid I guess BUT, like u said, they might need to revamp the plans IF they wan to move corp office over. this plc actually very good, but they price bayberry so high they now kena big time. that's the miscalculation. and bayberry buyers now sure regret I think. what ever it is, either the hotel or the mall better be super super good. 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

QUOTE(urb7 @ Feb 4 2015, 09:55 PM) 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. 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?

QUOTE(CMW123 @ Feb 5 2015, 07:19 AM) Just like a highway, before and after the toll will be noisy as the cars brake and pick up At the station, the train will make noise as it brake or accelerate after leaving the station I guessed so as well.. i knw ppl living near toll plaza (KJ apartment near subang toll) say super noisy. nvr met anyone staying near train station.. how will TG buyers stand the noise ah? dis train is not so noisy but u cn see this video cos this warsaw train uses the same train as KVMRT. Our one supposed to look nicer la https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBA7Jp3vbGs

QUOTE(Wiredx @ Feb 5 2015, 02:21 PM) I still doubt that people who can afford to live here willfind the mrt a strong draw. Those who bought are merely speculating there is interest. In my opinion. Many will say they will use, but in reality its a different story...even in sg or hk they dont build high end residences next to mrt stations like this. 900-1000psf beside MRT is doable. Investors are looking at expat tenants who wanna travel with the MRT n live above a BIG n GOOD shopping mall. i think high end props can jalan beside the MRT. Let msia be the first la

QUOTE(bigman @ Feb 5 2015, 11:07 PM) the MRT track itself got a shield at bothsides when approching to station....u can see MRT station near Taman Pertama, Cheras...but still din sure whether is effective or not... Oh ya rmbr seeing the shield in the proposed pics. Shld be able to shield to quite a bit of the noise. One shld be prepared for more frequency in d future.

QUOTE(C&D @ Feb 5 2015, 10:48 PM) From the façade and design, don't think there is anything blocking the MRT to the development...if that is what you are talking about. Last I heard from Tropicana reps the distance from Arnica to the station is about 300m. That is a fair distance I think. im nt sure of whr the station is gona be but d tower nearest will only be 30-50m.. whole TG is 400m from one end to the other.

QUOTE(C&D @ Feb 6 2015, 01:34 AM) ooh liddat, arnica buyers still very ok. next time if they wan flip, can still throw price a little bit. even if they sub-sale 1,100 psf, still handsome margin. I think Arnica can easily pass 1200 psf if prices continue to rise 5+% per yr. Cascades is 1000 already n TG shld be more expensive la cos direct link to MRT+mall (im a mega MRT fan but still sad its not going to KLCC) I

I still think centre of KL will be KLCC cos all the O&G companies are there
