here the info form the developer write up:-


We are very proud to announce the arrival of the much-awaited boutique development by Mitrajaya Homes in Puchong Prima. Introducing 280 Parkhomes @ Puchong Prima, this low density development boasts of an exclusive clubhouse of more than 30,000 sq feet including a 10 meter-high water slide, water play area for children and adult pool with hydro gymnasium. Other facilities within the clubhouse are a fully-fitted gymnasium, games room, squash court, function room, cafeteria and a unique Wellness Centre (anti-oxidant rejuvenation therapy).
280 Parkhomes consists of 11 blocks of low-rise duplexes in a 17-acre land with a single entry/exit point for maximum security. All units are enjoying North or South orientation to minimize heat especially during sunset. The whole development will be monitored by CCTV in addition to ample security guards patrolling 24 hours to give a peace of mind for the residents. With about 7 acres of landscaped and recreational area, 280 Parkhomes will be acquiring the Green Building Index (GBI) certification as part of our efforts to spearhead environment-friendly living.
With a total of 280 units ranging from 2,422 sq feet to 4,370 sq feet, these spacious duplexes provide the feel of a double-storey house in a safe and secured environment. Each unit is meticulously designed for maximum usage of space and with functionality in mind. The large window panels in each unit allow more sunlight to penetrate for brighter interiors and enhance air ventilation. The topmost units (Type A3 and B3) would even enjoy additional floor space on the rooftop with an AV room and roof garden.

But kinda expensive for this location though. For this price, I would go for landed in Taman Tasik Prima or Taman Putra Prima. Meaning each unit is a duplex unit? Can fight X2 Residence dy.

where you get the info from? Is lift available to the highest unit?

I think the lift can go to second floor.. :>

looks tempting but how far from LRT station?

around 1.2km i guess.. ya the soft launch this week... maybe can go check it out.... anyway LRT IOI--PUCHONG PRIMA very slow progress... kinrara very fast...

maybe soil issue coz big lakes nearby

The concept of this development is good and with all the facilities, it is very attractive.. Hopefully the traffic at that area is ok...

top units with roof garden..

loan enquiries kindly pm me for this project..

Maintenance fees?

Think at least RM0.4psf????

still cheaper than club house membership out there

So, another BBB project?

900k 0.0??? if 900k i prefer to buy landed, 2 n 1/3 storey freehold......dun know this yr r last yr the owner wanna sell it at 7xxk, far more cheaper den here.........exact name i cant remember, location macam nearby carefour de.......

Saw the email they sent to previous customers and being a resident in Puchong Prima...we're facing a growing population here and the morning and evening jam has increased over the last 4 years due to all the recent development.

Crime is also an issue here especially car windows being broken into almost every other week in my area and we have some usual mat rempits here too...sigh. Hope the gov't will build a police station here to help curb the crime rate.

Whoah!

800k - 1.5mil ... that is expensive ... the huge park and concept looks not bad, but the pricing really killing ...

Yeah man.. Indeed the prize is far beyond my reach..

This place next to low cost aprtment, opposite TNB main station and high tension cable, still can sell at 1.5m??

that's why... how they decided the price, but i heard it starts for m650k then go until 1.5m kot, only after soft launch can get the pricings..now indicative only
..future this place booming kot.. so thy put future price lah...just like some say that cyberjaya property has been priced using its potential future price...

below is location i grab from google

the red circle is LSC area (lake side city) currently under con

the yellow arrow is the 280 park homes area

the green circle is large vacant land..

the back square is the TNB station

Cyberjaya welcome Puchong rich & upgraders...

I am getting more excited with Cyberjaya, when Puchong launching at such price...

Cascadia townhouse 1700 SF is already RM 530-550K subsale, right? Prices are already high & keep going up even though govt trying to cool down the market.

What about Odora?

Odora around 350k i think. I bought nearby townhouse also start at 300k liao. so expensive la this place.

seems expensive for an area like that. the cost for the theme park has been factored inside already.

Huh? Are u sure? I just saw the first page of the Odora thread that the launch price was RM399 for the 1800. This was in 2010 mind you

Yes, indeed it is far beyond almost every other potential buyers for own stay ...

ops soli i thought the one build by LBS.

Went to d showroom, it looks more like a lowrise duplex apartment than a townhouse, 800k++, bundle with high tension cable n cheap apartment nearby, maintainance at least 18cents....god bless!

Any news on this project? Have any of you booked a unit yet? I went to the showhouse and quite interested with the concept. But the price is a little more than I can afford (cheapest around 750k after discount) plus the maintenance fee too.
Any advise on other advantage or downside on this project?

---

Added on November 1, 2012, 2:54 pmAnyone has seen or booked a unit for this 280 park homes? What do you guys think? Really appreciate your comment. My personal view:

- Concept and design is fantastic. In fact this might be the best 'park homes' property type as it is low density with maximum of 6 storeys only. No high or medium rise condo inside.
- Location is ok even though a little bit remote. But with additional access to LDP and LRT puchong prima coming soon (1km away), accessibility shouldnt be a big issue.
- Price IMO is quite high for a leasehold land and the location. But its only RM305 psf (for type B2, the smallest at 2422sf) after discount. Still cheaper than other mega projects nearby such as LSC and The Wharf. What do you guys think?
- Security and surronding : Crime rate is on the rise in Puchong Prima, but this is GnG, so should be very safe right? The downside is that quite many low cost apartments nearby, so the neighborhood scenery is not that good.

Personally I think, this is great for own stay for middle to big size family. But I am not sure whether its good for investment too. How much can the value appreciate? The potential is there as Puchong south is heavily developed and probably mature in 5 years time.

agreed..+1

Any property guru out there want to comment on this project?

I think this project is not yet heavily promoted. Just a small signboard on the project site. But you still can comment conceptually based on the info in mitrajaya website and this forum.

Appreciate your advice!! Tq........

I have gone to the show house and project site and I really like the concept and interested into type A2 unit. I am still deciding whether to place a booking or not.

What do you guys see in this project? Any negative side? Agreed with realproperty that surrounding is not on the positive side, but with positive pricing, concept, security and location, its hard to say no to this right?

Appreciate your comments..

This one definitely the agent, he he he

High tension cable is not that near around 50m to 100m away. Yes there are cheap apartment nearby and lots of undeveloped empty land too (this can be a positive side if more high-end or commercial developments are done here). Maintenance is 20cent psf which I think reasonable for the overall facilities and security (and low density as well, so you don't have to share it with so many people.)

---

Added on November 8, 2012, 11:22 pmNo I am really not an agent.. I am really considering this as both myself and hubby like it for own stay but afraid they are negative sides that we are not aware of.
Maybe you can give some opinions on some new projects nearby or project with the same concept like Odora park homes perhaps?

This post has been edited by Lovely_Girl: Nov 8 2012, 11:22 PM

it seems puchong south puchong prima/tasek prima is also considered puchong south... with a big lake near.. alot potential high end developments will take place as u said,some are already start the constructions work(e.g M-city)... , but some land are under high tension cable,..this place can be a mixed residential area..low cost apartments + high end too .... and +with cyberjaya development in the near future, it would compliment this side of puchong south(both compliment eachother)..but thy need to improve the access to puchong prima.. as at peak it will jam alot... it like one way in/out access from puchong perdana interchange... memang jam lah, ldp pun now seems ok... but there is 2 LRT stations nearby 10 & 11, it should ease the traffic congestions.. i read sumwhr there plan for 2 interchange that will bring access into this part area..one is the puchong utama interchange(near shell/petronas)..i think call it maju-jaya inerchange oso.. but it is still in papers ( i think many years ago they talk about this ady, tapi sampai sekarang satu habuk pun takde).. another i think i saw for NAZA TTDI puchong development, another access will link Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) to Taman Puchong Permata.. and the access route will be built before the Puchong Barat toll plaza.. i think this to cater the TTDI puchong.. the road join the 2nd roundabout,(puchong-permai).. if got easy access in/out.. should nice.. now they use this route avoid paying toll puchong barat.

Thanks Anniyan for the detailed analysis.. are you a buyer or agent of 280 park homes?

Agreed with your points... puchong south got a lot of potential but it must be supported by great accessibility as well.. LRT station is a good start, one that will surely prosper the surrounding developments.. Puchong Prima and Tasik Prima could very well be self sustaining city with its own mega-mall, cinema, entertainment and leisure places.. projects nearby such as The Wharf and M-City will be among the first.. even these will attract Cyberjaya and Putrajaya folks..

The only limiting factor now is the access road.. Some people also might be scared of the high tension cable nearby.. A new police station also is a must because the rising crime rate and increasing population around this area..

me not a buyer and not a agent oso..just a observer, like to check out about cool things

Hope some actual buyers can share some light n thought on this project. Wondering why the developer not keen to advertise and promote this project. All I know is they only advertise via newspaper and small sign boards in puchong prima area. I think a lot of units still remain unsold but the project is progressing really well. All phase 1 blocks already up at least on ground floor.

Nothing special except the water features..Somemore
Selling at this crazy price.

Have you done the psf calculation? For the smallest 2422sf unit, the price is just rm305psf after discount.. With low density and same (if not better) features than other high-end condo nearby (the wharf, aurora, X2), dont you think the price is quite cheap?

No offence, just my opinion.
Almost 800k, I might as well buy zarra bdr Puteri
2 storey
Nothing special about the club or lake.
Developer might as well reduce the size and sell
around 600k ++. It sells faster

Yup, but I think this project is targeted at mid to big size family who appreciate more spaces.. If they make it smaller, then it will compete with other condos nearby who target expats, couple or small size family.
In comparison with other landed 2 storey houses, this got the upper hand in term of security and condo-like facilities. Yes 800k is very expensive, but it has 10% discount + 7% (Bumi) + DIBS + RM10,000 booking fee (refundable if manage to get 90% loan) + tons of panel banks to choose from (Maybank, OUB, HSBC, AmBank, CIMB & Hong Leong).

Personally I like the Duplex Condo concept where you can enjoy the mix of condo and 2 storey house at the same time. But I am still undecided on this one .

Thanks for all the opinion.

Desa impiana duplex is very nice. Been to the clubhouse. Very relax n peaceful.

Please check the estimated maintenance fee before you pay the d/p.

0.20 psf according to SA... Expensive or reasonable?

I think is reasonable..people afford to buy this type of property should able to pay for the maint fee.

i remember a fren told before the LRT was confirmed, thy already start building & selling desa idaman... but when they heard that LRT is realy cuming.. they slow down the sales/constructions, then wait for the ultimate confirmed news..then hike the price and promote and continue to sell... maybe same concept like this.. now thy just sell parkhomes in lowprofile, as maybe they have other insider news of something that yet to be confirmed.. when that "thing" is confirmed, hike the price.. promote and sell....... got two potential lands big enough for something big.. one the the empty land circled in green..refer pic..




and the other land is directly in front of the big water tank at puchong tekali, and also beside the cascadia lake townhouse, and this land is opposite the lake... so anybody here also have a clue?? heheh....

The cirle in red is lakeside city aurora by masteron, yellow circle is driving exam centre and black square is power station. Opposite the water tank at puchong tekali is the wharf by bolton there have shopping mall if the 8 lake success the price will boom up

i mean the large land beside the driving school exam center, it just a big empty plot of land... and things like the wharf already confirmed news.. i thinks all depends on the success of the wharf waterfront + millenia city.. ya if the 8 lake success.. the price will boom all around puchong prima and tasek prima...

the quality for mitrajaya built properties is not good actually. I have a friend who bought desa impiana, it seems they use very cheap things. it's just not worth it, very sincerely saying. when they promote of course everything nice, but after you bought it, then it's different story.

Have you seen the actual show unit of 280 Park Homes yet? The show unit is on the site itself and will be sold as well. From what I have seen, the material does not seem cheap. The timber flooring is of a high quality type and the even the stairs holder is made of tempered glass. Comparing with Desa Impiana might not be apple to apple as Impiana is not a high-end condo. Which mid-end condo is made by high quality materials?

One thing that Mitrajaya differ from many other developers is that they usually employ build-then-sell strategy for their projects including 280 Park Homes. While most developers will immediately start promoting and selling right after getting the advertising permit without any actual development done on site, Mitrajaya built and completed at least the actual show units and soils testing before start promoting and soft-launching. This is of course in line with government aspiration to promote build-then-sell type of property selling and shows that Mitrajaya has solid cash flow.

jm2c...

new lands are approved for 2 & 1 autistic schools..do school bring up property price...

"The schools, SJKC Yak Chee (2) and SMJK Katholik (2), and an autistic centre will be located in Taman Tasik Prima"... only land approved.. the Edu ministry belum lagi.

source:- putraprimablog

This is the latest costruction progress of 280 Park Homes... Phase 1 will be completed in Dec 2014 and Phase 2 in Dec 2015 (based on latest estimation by Mitrajaya) :

so, are you saying it is ok to use cheap materials for mid-end condo ?

Not ok definitely but thats what ppl usually got for what they pay. My current home also is a mid-end condo, priced around 200k back in 2008 (asking price now around 400k). Material used I think is far from high-end but the owners dont complain about it.

Thanks for the pics Yuna.. Nice!!

Added on December 10, 2012, 8:39 pmI heard the unit price has increased a little and there were many coming to the show house yesterday. Anyone can confirm this?

This post has been edited by realproperty: Dec 10 2012, 08:39 PM

Any updates?

Phase 1 is starting to sells fast every week and price will keep increasing. Soon phase 2 will be launched. Book your unit now!!

How much is the price now?

Btw, nice pictures from yunalesca.

Phase 2 will hit 1 million and above lo ?!

If above RM 1mil, it is very tough lah, but based on concept and low density, I still see young families with kids might prefer this modern lifestyle. But the maintenance would be killing since it is 2,422 sf onwards.

current price is more than 900K for smallest built up... And 10% rebate on downpayment...

Those wish to upgrade from young family still able to purchase since almost zero downpayment yet they can upgrade their living style...

From the posted photo, looks the workmanship quite satisfied and progressing well..

Im just bit unsure about "theme park" concept for clubhouse and maintenance part...

Price has been up 5%. Cheapest unit (2422sf) price has increased from RM892,800 to RM939,800.
I think the price will maintain until all Phase 1 sold out.

Phase 2 probably they will add another 5% or they slash the 10% early bird discount to 5%.

Yup.. agreed.. my main concern is the maintenance fee as well. 0.20 psf means to pay RM484.40 every month (for 2422sf unit).
Has there been any project that managed to 'decrease' the maintenance fee after JMB took over from management?

I think most complaints will come from bigger size units as their maintenance fee are much more 'killing'.. what do you think?

Workmanship is top notch. Trust me, I have been to the show units (both furnished and the empty ones). Its hard to find sub 400psf project with this concept, location and workmanship.

The real concern is the high maintenance fee of 0.20 psf. Its logical though since its low density GnG concept, with theme park and huge landscape garden. Probably 0.20 may not be sufficient.

Since the entry requirement is very easy (considering zero down-payment based on 10% discount), young families will be very tempted to buy. But they need to think ahead of the maintenance fee as well.

wow, the price compare to the lake side townhouse (bolton project nearby) selling 600k to 800k, which is better bet?

nice finishing

With the selling concept and clubhouse they offering, marketing the product as parkhome rather than low rise duplex condo, i think RM 0.20 maintenance fee psf is quite decent and fair. Yes, with the low density they having, I might see RM 0.20 psf not even sufficient if they would like to take the maintenance seriously.

Its not a good objective to reduce the monthly maintenance fee once the JMB is formed. It could rundown the clubhouse and its facilities.

The parkhomes concept and showhouse quality is tempted as RM 400 psf consider as a decent buy compare to Condo with space of over 2,400 sf. But no doubt, the absolute price point is not low.

The low dp is ideal for home buyers but with 10% discount to offer those young families for zero entry is absolute a mistake. It might be good for one but not for overall picture. I rather they jack down the price with lower discount, gives higher room of appreciation by maintaining the quality of purchasers based on their wealth of entry form.

Both projects are quite different:

Bolton The Wharf
- High Density High Rise with Service Apartments facilities.
- Smaller size (lower than 2000sf).
- Mixed developments with Commercial, Offices and Shopping malls.
- Nearer to lake and happening places.

280 Park Homes
- Low Density Low Rise Duplex Condo (only 6 floors) with theme park facilities.
- Bigger size (minimum 2422sf).
- Totally residentials developments.
- Nearer to LRT station (~1.5KM).

So depends on buyer's requirement which is better bet.

The difference of both are one is townhouse and another as parkhome.

Franckly speaking, I much prefer parkhome concept rather than townhouse esp the car park foyer got to break into 2 foyers.

Probably I was driven by the concept of Desa Parkcity parkhomes and garden condos.

Agreed.. we can see in the price difference too.

Hi all, i have deposited for this project and heard that my loan is also approved recently. Now i'm waiting to sign the LO together with the S&P.

How about you guys?? Anything to share here??

Which block did you book sinkuro? What type and size? And what bank did you choose?
Lets build a great neighborhood in 280 Park Homes

I booked block H and just the most smallest size.
U have a unit there as well? Niceeeee...
I have not hearing from any of my banks (Am, HL, UoB...)

Yup.. booked 1 unit block F (smallest also ).. bank is RHB.. quite good rate.

Hmmm... RHB?? No one from RHB approaches me... Too bad. Got lock-in period? What rate is good rate? Hehe...

U signed the SnP?

No lock in, maximum tenure, 90% margin and BFR-2.5% rate. I think not many bank can offer this.

Yup already signed S&P.

wow wow wow......
Really an amazing deal. If this is my offer, i will sign fast fast

Faster sign. The best rates in the town.

It was Islamic package, so they dont call it BLR but BFR.

I thought RHB Bank BFR is same rate as BLR? Not?

At this moment, BFR and BLR is the same which is 6.6.
Maybe will differ in the future I dont know. Technically it should differ as islamic banking has its own economic benchmarking. Since in malaysia, islamic banks (or bank negara) doesnt have this yet, they will follow BLR value.

jm2c

I just put the deposit for block H corner ground unit with 2 balconies. The 3000 sq ft

Bro,

Can give me the contact for RHB? HSBC offered me -2.45 only.

Thanks!

Congrats.. lets hope the project goes well and complete in time...

Hi guys.. nice to meet you all. Can call me Kenny Liew. Sales Agent for this 280 Park Homes. Mind me join this forum?

Surely Kenny.. can you update the sale status of 280 park homes?
