Sigh, people never listen. Read back this forum in 3 yrs time and realised u hv been warned back then.

Haha chill bro.

I am sure some of the Villamas purchasers here had factor in and due to personal specific reasons, they go for it. Another anor group must be first time buyer who never had experienced with this developer's below par quality.

Anor fren of my, ask opinion from me abt this dev product and against 3-4 more projects. Aftr my advise, he still die die go to book this even he expected this might be a not so great expectation or diff ending compare to previous projects.

actually bro .. u'd be surprised ..
i met a few Villamas repeat buyers .. all made money in Atmosfera, and all buying into Verde because they think its of good value plus they get additional 1.5% (??) repeat buyer discount ...

when I asked them about all the complains on workmanship, etc they said their phase wasn't affected and it affected some other phases ? guess not all are rotten ..

it was quite a BBB madhouse ... the SAs were working overtime printing out the booking forms .. a la Tropicana Gardens and Skypod ..
not like Metropark though, that was rather cold compared to this

I stayed at villa pavilion before, it is one of the project developed by Villamas. I can tell you the quality and material that they used is totally not acceptable. Management is 1 of the BIG problem there as well.. please think twice before you buy from this developer!!

i m also Vcard member, 1.5% could potentially 10k discount which is not a bad deal,, i didnt go to the preview, likely ppl buying into ara damansara address,,, whoever bought few years also make $ even for some shitty projects also appreciate

Recent launch in Ara Damansara:

Nova Suajana - RM600 psf up for > 1200 sq ft unit
Medalla, Sime Darby - RM700psf for > 1000 sq ft units
Aragreens - RM750psf for big units > 1200 sq ft units

Sime Darby is land owner, Malton must have bought the Nova Suajana land long time ago with Amaya so land cost are low

Wonder when did Villamas buy their land?

If they are selling at less than RM550 psf n if land cost is on high side, what is the level of quality they can deliver?? Somemore only 409 units?

Really wonder...

developer is 1 thing but the location also another thing..

to me, ara damansara still very dead place.. dont really dare to invest on it..

IMHO, +1

i work at ara damansara, not sure about the developer, but location is very good. Its as good as staying in tropicana (location wise of course)

do you mind to share why you say is good?

this verde forum is in a tug of wall. please look back at the postings la, we r repeating ourselves.

sub standard developer also got fans. all they can do is give good discounts but not good finishing... sigh.

btw, this is not about the gr8 ara d'sara.

actually .. on the contrary .. I'm quite bullish on Ara ..
yes the current environment quite bleak ..
- Oasis is like dead duck not happening, same goes for Citta mall
- the Taipan commercials dead, like no life
- surrounded on one side by small industrial area ...
- daily jam on the Subang airport highway

but, bear in mind - this is the last border of PJ/Shah Alam dy, which gives you a PJ postcode ..
Oasis investor, too bad for you .. you went in too early ..

what's in the pipeline :
short term :
- opening of cinema MBO in Citta Mall - perhaps a catalyst to bring in some life to this dead mall

medium term:
- Pacific Place commercial area, with integrated commercial + LRT stop
- confirmed new college coming ? based on their GRR plan (http://www.mudah.my/Jazz+Residence+Pacific+Place+Ara+Damansara+-18410674.htm)
- Sime Plantations + Sime Motor to move there ~ long term plan
- Tesco - still happening ?


as mentioned earlier, projects in the pipeline :
Nova Saujana
Ara Greens
Verde
Pacific Place
Hijauan Saujana

and with Kencana Square at RM700psf++ , albeit a worst of location (IMHO) ... this is your last call before Ara takes off ..
Ara needs mass population .. right now its daed quiet because of the low density of the whole area ...
oh well, in desperate need of catalyst ...
so it all depends on where you want to be my friends ..
you want to be where it is, after it has boom , or you want to be there before it booms (famous puncline used by all property salesmen) .. bear in mind, I'm vested in the area

what nonsense r u uttering here. u r not THE ONLY ONE vested here. some of us already started a decade ago.

this is the verde topic, STICK TO IT!

i heard that the architect for Verde is http://www.archicentre.com.my/

but cant find Verde in this website, so not sure if this is true...

geeesh, somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed ?

I'm just replying the guy who said Ara Damansara area is dead ...
what's your beef ...
didn't get laid isit

The Verde, The Topic period.
I guess tht's what he meant, hahahaha

jangan gaduh la... everyone here is just discuss about Verde project, the developer Villamas history and aso the location tat not sure if good or not...

sharing info is OK..

buying or investing a Condo project need to know alot of things like Developer history, the location wise and lots more...

haha, i think imprezaWRX is sharing some good info about the surrounding lah...

btw, I wonder how is the property around this area (especially condo) appreciates over the past few years? can someone share?

Also, it seems there are quite a lot of mid sized double-storey linked house selling at rm 800k - 1 mil range, translating into <RM500 per sq ft... I know it is different market and I may be comparing apple to orange... but just wondering if there will be any upside for this condo...

wow moneytree, ppl here trying to offer good info, and u just simply claim it is nonsense and shoot them down. If u don't know how to appreciate forummers sharing info, or just don't understand what is happening, think twice before typing any sort of reply on any forum threads.

what more do you expect to read in a thread about a project that hasn't even started construction?? Of course there will be thorough discussion about location!
Its one of the most important things when deciding to purchase a house! Or are you those type that buy properties based on how many free aircond you get?

keke sorry guys, got carried away ...

the current large units Amaya n Ara Hills not doing that great ..
around RM500psf subsale price .. although sellers askign for RM600psf ..
whilst Puncak Seri Kelana is asking for RM350psf .. thereabouts ..

i believe AD lacks critical mass + some form of catalyst to boom .. Citta by virtue of its odd layout, is not doing a great job ..
perhaps the cinema will lead the way ... but I do foresee the LRT extension as one of the catalyst ..

the likes of Seri Pilmoor or Serai will not boost anything - because the owners will most probably prefer a low density, uncrowded neighbourhood ..
