Which SD project do u refer to?
Others none SD project cannot uses the amenities? Need special SD pass to use LRT? I lol at Pacific Place residence stay next to LRT station but cannot take ride LRT.

Leasehold, you got a point. Then it is balance against many other factors.

SHC is kinda not giving any room to investors at this sort of price point... Passing all the risk to buyers. Price seems to be much much into the future..

from the point of investors, that may be true.
but for own stay, this may be a hassle free move in once VP concept.

acceptable workmanship but overall is jus average feeling n facade not impressive for the price paid/asking.. can share who can be potential tenants in this potpourri?
*
if you are referring to the handful of expats in this part of town, i think potpourri could well be the top dog because it offers fully furnished concept.
the fully furnished concept is quite good stuff for the small units. hence for rental and for an individual or couple, might as bloody well go for the top unit.
all others nearby are just basic or semi furnished units.
so it falls on the owner to dress it up to entice the tenants.
so if i have a 3k budget to spend, i would go for potpourri over say ara green, pacific place, puncak nusa kelana, amaya subang, serai, oasis, etc.
mind you some of those i quoted are actually well above 3k budget and also big sized units which is incomparable.

i dunno why people in lowyat like to najib, ask question related to A topic then reply with B topic  sweat.gif

let me ask again more clearly.

since developer already provide fully furnish so every unit is exactly the same.
would it be better if....

1. add own furniture for higher rental but incurring additional cost
2. rent it out as is from developer and stay within the rental rates of everyone else or lower to quickly rent it out
*
that one you have to ask pai boss.
in his program, they have a dedicated chapter on furnish vs non-furnish. tongue.gif

my additional 2c on furnishing.
note that potpourri is not providing cincai furnishing. from my untrained naked eye, i like the furnishing and ID a lot. probably cost a bomb if owners were to undertake it themselves.
so my take is if developer is offering fully fitted unit with acceptable cost, and you like the design, take it.
how often have you seen a fully fitted unit by owner that is done tastefully for lease? am not saying there aren't any, but limited and also run the risk of overdoing and overbudgeting.

mind you also fully fitted units are not all rosy as well since the more you provide, the riskier it gets in terms of damages.

cheers!

I would say the furnishing 20k is really worth the money. Neighbour Ara Green is 60k for ID like show unit. :S
*
if you know the full story, the 20k is actually a gimmick lah.
no way the unit can be done in 20k.

Some like it yes, some not.
We need it for the convenience, but hate the traffic and noise as said.

There are few types of mall - those super congested like pyramid/One U/Setia Walk type probably cross your mind.
Though, my thought is those smaller scale type- like Center point.

You may see more condo are building some retail at the ground or mezzanine floor. (Like Nova). I wonder if only open to the tenants, it might not generate enough business to sustain itself. If open to public, then it need to have good system segregate/prevent them enroaching to the private space. (setia walk used to have some sort of issue). Again, who in public would like to attend to the shop under Nova, for example.

In the case of CittaMall- it is just nice. 2 separate plot next to each other. Citta being a small mall serving the local crowds. The business during weekdays lunch hour and some crowd going to the cinema and coffee house in the evening.

Note: i like it as it is, so I put my money there. ... Though, i am sandwich in between, some will say too crowded too noisy. While others will says it is a dead mall.
Anyone around here is with me?
*
i am with you on this.
when i think of a place to grab a movie or chill at some nice F&B, citta mall automatically springs to mind.
free parking, less crowded yet contains my selected needs.

boss, try encorp strand mall. right up your alley. can park just outside the mall .
*
going to encorp i need to go through some serious stressful streets.
and surprisingly more difficult to get tix to cinemas here compared to citta. even tcm is better chances.

and encorp's tenant mix does not appeal to me.

i still prefer citta to encorp both in terms of tenant mix and conveniences.

same like i also occasionally drop by jaya or tcm to have my movie fix.
