Few selling points of this condo compare say KLCC, Mont Kiara etc:-

i. MRT at door steps as all know. How many condo the same?
ii. Golf view. How many the same?
iii. Shopping malls like Giza across the road. How many the same?
iv. International schools, hospital just 1 station away. How ..?
v. Exit to highways- nkve, penchala link
vi. The curve, ikano, 1U can travel 2/3 stations away by MRT w/o jam

Obviously overpriced now. Unless one can foresee what's gonna happen upon completion of MRT.

In 2004 when we first entered the area, many friends and family members look down on KD, leasehold, strata blah blah.Tat time Persiaran still under construction. Mutiara dusty like desert.

But we saw, Ikano, Ikea, Curve, 1U, MNCs throwing tons of money next door. We saw exit to NKVE, penchala link. We saw golf course.

Put it this way, even if freehold condo does it make much different? Freehold/leasehold if purpose for rental your tenants care? Anything above 30yrs irrespective freehold/leasehold will need major retrofit/upgrading.

TG nothing to shout abt compares other condos. Only selling point is MRT. Mat salleh/expats will love mrt. Tat's how ppl in developed nations travel.

Fuel price expected to rise aft ge13. Hopefully in turn there will be less cars on the road. But proton annual sales target to sell 500k in the near future. Would there be less cars on the road?

So many condos around. So what's the selling point? You choose.

Never make money?  biggrin.gif

Some of the ppl who are against TG on this thread are actually seasoned investors whom i know personally and some actually have about 7-8 properties in other areas which have actually appreciated quite a bit. Im quite sure they aren't red eye or anything. One of my own condo's has appreciated 80% in the past 3 years and this appreciation is confirmed by the bank's valuators not by some salesman given u rosy figures.  brows.gif

Actually nothing to shout abt for those who owns properties in KV before 2009. Everyone wins. How much or how less only, kind of luck or you name it no brainier incl urs truly la .. laugh.gif

Many over 200% gain oso diam-diam la. Kindly of pure luck not so sophisticated compares to economists, analysis, chartist, ...

Biggest winners are actually developers.

Why so many sour grapes one aiyoh....

Every development when launch sure got people bad mouth one, then later when people make money they red eye....

Like I said, TG1<TG2<new nexis<TG3<new sunway dev<TG4

We are safe.  It's a sure win la, ding dit lei, 1800psf here we come.  Look at SG and Hong Kong, 4000psf everywhere.  Now 1100psf you people kuakuagiu....laugh die people meh...

We are on track to 4000-6000psf in the next 10 years.  If dont buy now, when?  4000psf?

1800psf on par with SG, HK & Shanghai .. sweat.gif

Possibility if major change, total restructuring of the country with the end of the old regime, clog drain finally clear .. stream turns into river, policies change causing influx of wealthy foreign investors who see this country cheaper than SG, HK, China and wants to beat the worst nightmare in KV aka traffic jams.

Just keep finger cross lah. icon_rolleyes.gif

Traffic will be much better along Persiaran Surian once the underpass tunnel at the Surian/Tropicana Indah/Mahogani intersection is open. The only problem now is for those coming from the curve towards TG, there's a bottleneck at the bridge crossing over the NKVE due to the long queues for the traffic light at the Surian/PJU 5/1 junction.

If really want smooth traffic flow from the curve towards TG, this junction should just be closed off  tongue.gif

No need to close off, just need some tuning on the traffic light. Notice not many cars making turn to Palm Spring in the morning compares cars coming out from KD. Sometimes light green no car making turning while KD side long Q. This happen esp during rainy days traffic polis pun taking a break. yawn.gif As such just need proper tuning to synchronize different traffic flow during day and night.

I have done my part launching a complaint to MBPJ. Please do so at:- http://eps.mbpj.gov.my/index.aspx
or call them irrespective any response or not. Since we pay the assessment, it is the job of town council to improve traffic flow instead of slumbering yawn.gif .

Giza is dead?? .. the Village Grocer business is good... fitness shop already closed down and SSF furniture will be the next tenant... overall I think Giza crowd is still ok..

Giza will not die, many more new malls will die first before Giza turn. Just check out the daily crowd and traffic jam.

Giza design using industrial fans saving millions of electric bill compare many other indoor malls consuming high electricity due to aircon. Aircon bills kill many malls when occupancy low.

Been in this area for more than 10yrs ... seen how this area transform over the year. Many upgrading road works were carried out along Persiaran Surian from elevating junction at Palm Spring to prevent flood, new tunnel at Giza, closure of some traffic junction to the MRT. When they built the MRT, YES, many shops suffered, many closed too as a result of the massive jam cry.gif

Now, the clog has finally cleared. FINALLY! Just waiting for the next boom rclxm9.gif
