i am hearing from aunties so might not be true but notice that no further work / lorries coming in or out from the site.
1. Some agreement that they are suppose to build max 20 floors only
2. Disagreement with government over some supposing link to a highway (I suppose MRR2 as it is the nearest?)
I was offered to see the blue print layout plan more than 2 years ago by an agent of the developer, it was a 14 storries building as the authority does not allowed the building structure to be more than 10 stories like the phase 1 fortune avenue due to soil problem(close to lake and ex rubbish reclaim land or mining land). I was told the developer is trying to lobby the authority to keep the 10 stories as living space with additional 4 stories of car park, that how it came to 14 stories. To do so, some undertable monies need to be channelled to the right person. I was asked to pay an undertable of 100k for shop units and 15k for Aprt unit.
Few months before launching, I was approached by the same agent and to my surprise the design had been changed and it had escalated to 28 storries. The agent offered me a 15k undertable to grab a lake view unit. I had been followed up this project for few years and very interested to get a unit there, gut feeling tells me to stay away.
I think the stop work is more to do with the number of stories issue more than new highway. Never heard of new highway gonna pass through that part of town. Even the road that suppose to join Kepong Baru to MRR2 via Laman Rimbunan does not progress at all.
