300 units, each unit 1800sf +-
I wonder how much the management fees in the future.
do you really think rm300 enough to cover everything?

casa green maintenance fees just 300 + 10% sinking fund

I am a JMC member of the condo that I am staying now. 2 block, 6 lifts, 500+ units
for a normal condo with security, guard, cctv, lift, swimming pool and few other facilities, almost NO greenery garden, we need about minimum rm160K just to cover all the cost.
you can calculate yourself.

rm300 maybe just for the first or 2 years. after that developer just will say good luck and all the best to you all.

vina: 450 units, boe average size 1,400sf, land size is 7.5 acres

casa green: 326 units, boe average size 1,819sf, land size is 5.4 acres

vina = 84K bu/acre

casa green = 110K bu/acre

before looking at anything else, casa green's density is already 31% higher than vina

Depends on preference la .. both have their pros & cons. Some might like lower maintenance fee, some prefer more greens & facilities.

Moreover, most of the time we will be inside our unit, not outside at the facilities/garden/pool.

good point cos based on my analysis; once come out from the unit, the impact of the higher density will be felt.

casa green: 3 lifts per floor; 8 units per floor averaging 1,819sf

vina: 3 lifts per floor; 8 units per floor averaging 1,400sf

assuming lift specs are exactly the same, lift capacity (and hence human movement) within the block is 30% less efficient in casa green compared to vina

lol then come to my project,
2 lifts, 4 units per floor, average 1320sf per units.

your lokasi not same same also......

for analytical purposes, the comparables are sdb's wotp, mitra's vina and amber's casa

manage to get this drawing from architect ~~~~~~
sneak preview

please give some comment....

got "private access road" like casa green or not?

you mean an access road with landscaping and greenery all the way from outside to the condo guardhouse?

yes, we do.

sorry, i was being naughty

meant to cucuk casa green buyers

private access road means the access road will be privately maintained - i.e. paid for by the residents?

not sure about casa green but rm300 maintenance fees per month is mission impossible for nows a day.

mind to share what makes you purchase Vina?

re maintenance fees, ini standard developer's trick leh........sequence is like this:

1. they know people don't like to pay service charges, so quote low low to push sales lor. developer and buyers all happy!

2. upon VP, developer subsidize the maintenance cost in line with their earlier commitment

3. quick quick form JMB (which is required by law) and pass the buck to JMB

4. JMB will soon realise the collection tak cukup in the absence of subsidy from developer and propose to raise service charges

5. residents get pissed off and tns JMB members left right centre with all sorts of accusations (word to the wise, don't ever join the JMB when developer hands over )

6. there is now a major mismatch - the residents are not mentally nor financially prepared for higher maintenance charges. never did and never will. some will not pay as a sign of protest and some can't afford to pay. some don't pay cos neighbour does not pay etc. as a result, collections do not meet budget and things start to deteriorate and go downhill - security lapses, breakins, pool not properly cleaned, lift breakdown not attended to etc.

*the value of a condo is heavily dependent on the quality of management and availability of funds. without either, it WILL go downhill.........*

kitkat boss mentioned earlier that his/her condo needs RM160K per month as bare minimum. assuming the same amount 3 years from now; the real maintenance fee is RM160K/(326 x 1,819) = RM0.27psf. add in sinking fund, its actually about RM0.30psf or RMRM546 per month this assumes 100% collection, sub contractor charges stay the same and no need to maintain "private access road"


why i bought vina? cos the marketing manager carmen is a lenglui

Most probably this year, next to the water reserve tank. Starts from 400k onwards. No idea about the size.. Most DP land are owned by Mahajaya and all are freehold.

you mean the tank next to the school?
