A good example is The Twins at Damansara Heights. Many of the investors who bought here were expecting easy money upon VP but now 2 years after VP, the condo is only 30% occupied and many owners are stuck with their units. The situation will become worse once the BLR goes up next year.

Who would have thought this would happen to The Twins at this location? Even I didn't and im surprised. The residences above Publika is another example that things aren't looking rosy anymore in the property market. Take a drive around Mont Kiara at 8pm on a weekend and see how many condos there are just 30-50% lighted up. Its actually quite worrying.

it depend...i know Mont kiara Seni occupancy rate look not bad...judging on the light turn on during night...looks like more than 70%...

Yay, all the usual suspects are back! Same story again. Sentul ok ah? Price ok ah? Rental ok ah? Developer ok ah? Design iconic ah? Must line up wan ah? Still got dibs ah? And my all time favourite....cowherd mentality.
All like to talk. All think themselves some kinda taiko. In the end, always same thing....if not interested, u think people waste time posting here? All oso got hidden agenda wan.

I didn't say ALL condos are 30-50% occupied. Its a general comment. Take a drive and see yourself. I live nearby so I know MK and Damansara areas quite well.

My fren work in YTL Cement told me that. Himself heard from YTL Land colleague. He told me BBB and he himself is going to q again for Phase 2 Type C after purchasing Phase 1 Type A. He is preparing for 850psf for Type C 

I think his salary must be very high. Maybe year end bonus also very thick 

Wah, can buy one after the other ah?! Tell him give chance to other ppl la...   

But looks like he has to queue up like the rest of us. I heard no preview for staff or VIP buyers and sure enough, it's true! 

Oh ya...  Was there for capers at 6.45am and I'm first 30 in queue. Same timing for fennel and I was number 200+

Correct. I think I will go for it despite all the negative comments. At least I earn a seat in the q. If I change my mind on Saturday, maybe I can "auction" my seat on the spot 

So, did you managed to grab one during Fennel phase 1?

The negative comments are not about Fennel as a development but rather the financial stability and risk profile of the investors. If you have the holding power, you can invest in most properties and make some decent profit later on. How many ppl do you know who purchased properties in 2009/2010 and didn't experience good capital appreciation?

The key question I always tell ppl to ask themselves during this period is this:

Can I sustain the property if I cannot sell or get a tenant for at least 2 years after VP?

If your answer is yes, then go ahead. But if your answer is no, then re-evaluate your options.

Is it wise for me to account for 6 years future income potential. 4 years construction 2 years holding.

Ie I'm earning x amount at present. 6 years time I might be earning xxx amount. Pls advise.

Just now went to sales galery...according to SA...indicative price about 750psf...3 to 5 % discount for early bird....all units come with 1 car park but for bigget unit...15xxsf come with 2 car parks...

Hmm....about 1 mil house just come with one car park....

are they sell extra car park?

otherwise, no point for one car park.

According to SA...yes if they got enough car park...but im sure the car park price is not cheap...

If ur unit get one car park and ur family got 2 cars...sure one of the car will park at outside...imagine how many car will park out side.....

4 blocks Fennel with 900++ units...say 450 (50%) of the cars park out side...huuuuh......iconic & high end?.....hmmmm just very doubt...

everybody parking at road side
