I just LOLed suddenly people misunderstood.

At worst case scenario, you also have to consider that most youngsters born and bred in PJ are being helped out by their parents.

You go to TG, you'll realised many parents buying for kids or kids studying/working abroad. Btw, thousands of workers in KL Sentral who can afford branded shopping in London are waiting to take the MRT... i.e. PwC staffs - this is what I heard from my conversation with them.

So the scenario is not as real as on paper.... similarly, TG could have risks even though it sounds good on "paper". But investors dare to take risks, and the risk takers could also be winners, we'll never know.

* Bear in mind, MRT is not a compulsory mode of transport BUT is an OPTION. In many countries, driving and parking have become so difficult that even MRT (or urban rail) becomes an Option for "Millionaires". The question is are we going to that direction?

LOL... one south compare this one?

Cannot compare projects launched before 2012 lah... also cannot compare completed projects.

Also amongst the Chinese (no offense ya), the purchasing power and demographics in general Damansara is also different from Cheras.

How many banks present in KD? Why not they go to MK?

Why RM1,100? Because is Dijaya and got many many buyers from Tropicana Resort who buy for kids or investment to the target market I mentioned.

Besides that many liked the concepts... such as;
1. something new and latest revealed in 2013 - hence priced in future MRT price
2. nearby established townships and affluent population (not necessary millionaires),
3. nearby established amenities and lifestyle,
4. MRT-linked - one of its kind in the whole of Petaling Jaya (TTDI is KL),
5. roof and podium terrace,
6. a fairly large shopping mall (hope it is well managed) with a Hotel,
7. golf-view or town view,
8. potential growth of KD as alot more vacant land,
9. reputable developer,
10. KD has one of the highest commercialibity in PJ Utara due to its emerging status as compared to matured Damansara,
11. high demand in general for PJ Damansara real estate.
12. influx of corporate offices in general PJ Damansara
13. vicinity is potential for healthcare and international school
14. this part of town is generally a Compact, High Density area... you won't see empty space for your car repair workshop.


* Note. I'm not a purchaser here... just an observer since I lived not too far away.

Cheras will have its own era soon.... latest news: the IKEA in Cheras is almost 2 times larger than the Damansara one. Its annexe IKANO mall is like 4 times larger than the Damansara's Ikano (now IPC after Boustead took over). If so... I think Sunway VeloCity can priced like crazy like TG.

But c'mon.... TG is not about IKEA.

Indirectly, Tropicana Gardens seems to have become a "branded" residences... judging from the expectations of buyers.

Having said that, the jams in Kota Damansara are getting worst and worst.

How come RM1,300 only? Should put RM1,388 or RM1,488...

Still got 1 more unit left??? Not sold out yet.

Developer looking at RM1,200/1,300 psf for 3rd tower launch Q4 2013/Q1 2014....

Long waiting list...

YeahhooO!!!!

I wrote at https://www.facebook.com/groups/115179435202482/:


"U have to udstand the buyer profile here. many are not necessary taking max loan margin (diff is cash), hence they have the flexibility to stretch the rental. Even rental RM3k is ok, probably already make returns. All they want is rent to good quality tenants otherwise they can go live in condo in a safer environ when old. Casa Indah next door is already renting around RM2,700 and in pretty good demand. The buyers are better off parking their money here close to family home for their kids than to buy overseas/student properties not knowing where their kids would be after grad. This property with MRT sounds good for many buyers who lived nearby at Tropicana and PJ Damansara."

Got fewer than 6 units left... on loan rejects. Selling at almost RM1,500 psf issit??

BBB mode again as Dijaya ppl say "too many" on waiting list...

CapitaMalls should bring in tonnes of well-established Singaporean tenants....

Tropicana City Mall just to tweak abit especially the small stores and F&B. Otherwise will be good place for neighborhood + cinema!

Already got thread here lah.

Keep to yourself.

It seems the mall have been upgraded and the hotel is now relocated and much taller now.

No need W la... even Four Points or aloft by same hotel group also happy ared.

TG is targeted as neighbourhood mall ala Paradigm, not a destination mall like EC.
