from my untrained eyes, usually a good circulation involves multiple ring roads around the mall.
MV is a very good example. plenty of highways weaving in and out top and bottom. plenty of entrance and exit points.
empire city is supposedly being model close to MV concept in terms of circulation.

sterling mall @ DU is another good example. similiar to klcc where you get access to the car park straight from a major highway. eg. akleh to klcc, ldp to sterling.
not only that, a good mall must design to cater to potential long queues incoming and outgoing.
paradigm mall did an astounding good job in their access too. i would have thought it would failed miserably with the jams at ldp too. but they did a great job at the basement linkages to opposite the road and also circle ring road both elevated and bottom.

as for tropicana gardens, i have no idea. but reckon it is a bit tough as they are restricted by the golf course behind and the mrt in front. tunneling works are limited.

I agree with you. Somehow, I just don't think TG's access roads cam make it into a very vibrant mall. Surviving, yes but thriving, hard to say. The plus point is definitely the MRT but bear in mind this MRT is very near the depot already. Not many quality shoppers from Sg Buloh side and dun expect too many shoppers taking MRT from city side to this mall. Main determinant is still access roads and I think TG is just not central enough to make it big. No hard feelings but my 2 cents.

Yeap this is also my observation elsewhere.. the normal RM5-12 makan still doing very well n ppl still eating out but cut down on premium makan.. Do u think business here will get better after the MRT is ready?  drool.gif

People will be using MRT to get towards city. Not much people will use MRT to come to KD. This is my guess. So no, MRT will not help. Not much, anyway.

in order to take MRT, you must first satisfy 2 conditions, you stay within 200m of a MRT station and you work within 200m of a MRT station. Anything else...too much hassle. That is why Malaysia LRT/MRT sucks.

I think for TG, those who bought studios, the psf price might transact at 1,000 psf, not higher. Those who bought the big units are in for a rude SHOCK.

Means, phase 3 and phase 4 buyers most likely will not profit?

Yep, for phase 3 and 4, for studios, they might break even, for larger units those 2 and 3 rooms most likely looking at losses upon VP.

Phase 1 of course make money

To have a better understanding, re Phase 1, how much $ and % gain are we talking about for each size?

1) Studio
2) 2-bedder
3) 3-bedder
*

For phase 1 buyers all buy at 700 psf will sure make money no matter the size

Other than the final 2 for ex-purchasers, the rest applies to all... so 18+ - ho yeah!

HI tkyong1,

I do not know about dianthus comparing to bayberry as i was a late comer to tropicana gardens.
However,wat i remember,d 2 bedroom 983sf unit in cyperus available during  tat time was at level 38 which is more premium by 40k,d SNP price was rm1.3m and after rebates came to rm 1.06m.Cyperus lowest 2 bedroom unit starts from 1.19m with rebates 5+3+2+Tpc special rebates for full furnished,bare unit has even more rebates.
Now looking at Dianthus pricing for lowest floor starts from 1.52m and after rebates it's still 1.22m
IF i hv proceed with d purchase of level 38 cyperus unit then i will b smiling now...its otherwise right now.. sad.gif
*
So a 983 sf 2 room unit in Dianthus is selling at 1.22 mil after discount right? That's a mind boggling 1,240 psf

As long as the take up rate can up to 70% within 24 months from the launching date then the price is at the right position.

The price is right for buying from developer. Subsale different.

Buying from developer easier to get finance, low deposit, free SPA, new and selling on imagination(plans) is easier than selling the real thing. What else?

Will the subsales property will sell below his/her purchase price? They are also buying from developer right? Developer successful selling price will be the latest value or new benchmark of the project.

If there is a rule saying property Subsale price cannot go below developer last selling price, then there won't be property down turn Liao.
