Hai, I Newbie...
Yesterday I already make deposite payment, because my budget so limit so I bought the cheapest one . It is at second floor , oke or not for second floor??? I afraid may be noisy? Help me
 

I booked level 5 + 2 levels from ground (since the lobby is double ceiling), facing sime darby soho unit...guess that will do fine, fresh air circulation compare to podium unit...can be quite noisy if your unit is facing kids pool.

Hmmm ... interesting situation

All panel banks (Project End Financing) must accept the valuation aka price set by developer, only difference is the LTV/ MoF e.g. some banks may set it at 80% or even 70%.

Which $ investment is not speculative in nature? In shares u can short the market. Gold also.

Govt has to be creative to cater housing project to those who cannot afford. They always can build and rent/lease.

If the govt kills the market, means there will be lesser construction, bank lesser loan, contractor lesser biz, kedai-Kedai no biz, contractor or biz owner wont buy to upgrade their machinery, Biz owner wont expand office, Biz owner wont hire people,.....

So who to bear the consequences>?????? it is back to worker like us. NO BIZ NO JOB.

Simple as that. It is utterly stupid to kill any market. Properties want to increase let it be, solve the problem other way round. More purchases the govt got more taxes rite???

they need a well-known supermart like jayagrocer to be the main tenant. tat will definitely pull more crowd to the mall.

Thought no more liao? Lee Kah Seng already sold off to someone.
The mall outlook improves a little - a few good eateries, but upper level still quite empty le.

Is the 8% premium post 15 Oct confirm? I am existing buyer, not sure to smile or frown....

Hi The Potpourri's buyer,
Do you have any highly recommended banker to introduce (excluding Citibank & UOB)?
Thank you. 

The location, price and furnishing package looks good. why is the sales slow since its been launch almost a year ago? I would have bought this if I had not committed to another property earlier

oasis studio is going for about 2k bro.... most of it are rented by expat.....

i think typical sales trick - create a distraction - condo sell expensive, then give discount on FF, because potential buyer just got wowed by their ID at the showunit, so special offer give you 20k for all this wow things la, the psychological effect is buyer getting a bargain on the furnishing but temporarily "blinded" to the high psf of the unit itself. the frunishing should give free. (i'm speaking from experience, because when i was told about the 20k furnishing i was also impressed, only  after some time after leaving the showroom did the feeling that the units are expensive start to surface). this also shows that developer knows full well most buyer of new units hate the whole process of ID, contractor, renovation, so they play on that dislike - "hey! for 20k, you get a hotel standard unit.. just move in, don't have to reno!". very smart.... the best part is to get the special offer of 20k, buyer must pay cash up front for it , in the process help pay for the first few piling into the ground. SHC good. 

end up with low quality ? how would u know the finish quality if the building is not yet finish?

and i though shc end product quality very good ? 

Well I wasn't overly impressed with their 9BU Condo!

Uptown residences not nice? in terms of building design? or the interior

Y?

Not sure they have any units above 1800sqft, it is about RM900 psf so can do the math.

expensive PSF and suspect quality is fine if location is superb like Regalia......but this one is banging more on potential of the location but currently it isn't too good.....ara damansara is pretty much boxed in with bad traffic and bad roads left, right, center.

Personally visited seringin after VP. Workmanship acceptable. Not much complaint from me .

I personally love the location but potpourri is leasehold and it is so near to citta mall that's concerned me.
Anymore project coming up in the area?

just a personal preference. I think stay too near to the mall will have noise n traffic factor.

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?

Presta not the first, certainly not going be the last.
At the same time, we also see a few prominent tenants surviving for some time already ( Chilies, BumbaGump, paparich, unique seafood), While few others like TonyRomas and Onde Onde also doing decent.

Presta gave people the impression that it is not that cheap. and the access is UG so limit number of Patrons. Apart from Presta, the 1st and 2nd floor tenants also get limited exposure.

Who is that famous person? u seems to know something leh, but dun wanna share? hahaha...
It need to be something special, if another "A Kau" kopitiam, people will not go there purposely. Also do mind, ppl from Ara Damansara need to take a long route to reach Nova. It is not accessible via the Japanese school, so it will be via the U-Turn near Subang. Right?

don't know where u normally come from, but to encorp mall, go via NKVE easy peasy, leave via jalan sepah puteri 5/1. that's normally the route i take these days. yes traffic is horrible there due to road diversions but NKVE route bypasses most of it, don't turn turn right throug the square at the tune hotel there, go straight up towards aeon big and make an (illegal) uturn easier
, seldom had problems getting tix at E/S mall, but maybe cos i go during offpeak hours
