all my 3 other friends who failed to get a unit in Phase 1 did not get the sms to go for the private balloting. so what jeghui mentioned is correct. even among failed balloters from Phase 1, there was an internal ballot by IJM to determine who are the phase 2 private balloters are

Since every posting here is about not getting called for ballot...
What's so great about this development?
Are you guys wanting to buy to FLIP or own stay?

share laa what's the magnet of this place? Appreciate any sharing.. thanks!

among all the up and coming large townships development; mah sing in bangi and rawang, sp setia in semenyih, gamuda in kuang and IJM in rimbayu,

the best location is Rimbayu (albeit leasehold) and landed, and the price range (phase 1) seems to look ok (cheapest at RM577k) for a landed double-storey house.

can't say that for Phase 2 onwards.

I forgotten I did submit my ballot and unable to get a unit as well during 1st day of ballot at cramp, jam and crappy Holiday Villa.

Nor I did get any SMS for balance or released units either. I think same goes to my other friends with multi proxy.

Thanks humms.

means its a flip for you.. Hows the township for own stay? the potential?

Will it be better than KK?

heard Dijaya will have something next to rimbayu. Any news beside it will be more expensive than rimbayu?

knowing dijaya from their past launches, for sure they'll price it higher than rimbayu. it's basically bodering the northern portion of rimbayu

I am of the opinion that Dijaya is always the parasite and latch on other successful townships.. and then used their infrastructure without needing to build their own.

township need at least 10 years to develop.

What is the expect resell value for chimes / 2nd phase for short term?

Potential?

KK is at better location, next to Kesas and near to SJ, USJ, Bdr Sunway, etc. Noticed that occupancy of shop lots / shop houses is high

My sister jz got a unit in BR for phase 2 but now a bit reluctant to proceed as it's leasehold and the address is jenjarom though it's still in selangor. She is buying for investment but nearby townships hv similar build up n they r all freehold n almost the same price, any comments? tq

never worry if you can hold for at least 5 years. this township exactly like 5 years ago saujana putra or 15 years ago kota kemuning.

leasehold doesnt matter if township is successful according to masterplan.

another plus point, dijaya just next to rimbayu which will have great masterplan as well

i think they will have good compete.

IMO, it needs to get at least 40% matured and developed before it can be deem as successful.

The infra today is diff compare to previous years and should be much advance and modern. With IJM fully develop BR and with catalyst of KK and upcoming Dijaya's higher ends, I think BR can be a great township of its own but it really takes time as the borders, half of it was KK ( the only success and matured ) and BSP ( not really for now ) and another half is Jenjarom / forest / others area ( not convincing )

8-10 years would be a great estimated timing of long term but if it is do-able with 3 years upon VP of Phase 1, I think it would be deemed as highly very very successful and much rely on the supply of KK. 5-6 years after VP just nice.

+1

who are very very very keen buy for own stay, pm me. buy for own stay yeah.

Agree
In the master plan, there are 2 proposed highways link to BR, extended LKSA and WCE, IMO, the price of this BR will be slow / stagnant if these 2 highways are not ready, at least 10 yrs for this township to become CBD by it's own, a few things worrying me...
1. The commencement of the new highways
2. Selling 20% higher than my calculation (based on distance advantage), if fully G+G, then price is find
3. Dijaya is in a very good position to attack IJM, in terms of concept, location, pricing & design, Dijaya has a clearer and easier task to achieve that mission.
4. Too many units launched, it will create massive "For Sale" during the VP time. Occupancy rate will affect the selling price (Chris Chew gor did touched the same concern). My guess during the 1st launching, at least 50% are investors (buy and sell), 1st phase alone has 500 units, that is clearly oversupply to me. At the beginning, I hv encouraged many investors to buy BR with maximum price of 480K (1st launch), when realized that IJM priced it for 620K, all stop buying.
5. I wonder how many BR purchasers ever been at the site to "feel" the distance, even Cyberjaya with well connection to major highways, the occupancy is still low, Garden Residence is like a dead town now, Kinrara Residence has a superb location and concept also facing low occupancy rate (25% after VP 1 year), total only 450K unit, about 70 units are for sale, the rest are own stay, the price also affected, drop bout 7% so far.
6. Dijaya development has the same land size, if I am an investor, I would rather wait till Dijaya launch, if it is too expensive, then AI superlink would be great option.

I still wish IJM successfully bring up BR (It is a matter of time for sure), for BR to become Setia Alam now, my guess, 12 - 13 yrs. Good luck!
p/s : I am not criticizing IJM Bdr Rimbayu design and concept, it will be a great township some how, my concern is the time is still early for investor to enter. If price is 20%-30%, I will definitely buy and hold for years.

Well said and agree with you.

But another view of point of mine:

1. BR still can parasite KK & KU as quite a number of USJ/Puchong folks move in to this area, the demand still there although no huge demand.

2. GnG cannot be deploy initially due to gov. rules. For phase 2, everyone will sign a form to agree to build a guard house. AND i have ask SA, if most of the house owner agree and local authority approve to build fencing, they will bear the cost, i don't know how true is that, maybe you all can check again with them. But GnG possibility is there.

3. If IJM really reliaze the township into green lifestyle, i believe most of the people willing to move in especially work at southern/west side of greater KL.

4. With Dijaya there, my view is they will have healthy compete and able benefit each of others.

True
Fenced and Guarded can be done.
The most impressive thing in BR is the Green Concept, this is the future, I like the township planning, green technology requires 30% higher in building construction cost (tats why IJM sells higher, problem is many buyers dun appreciate and dun understand). The material used for the 1st phase looks good!

Private ballot! Public still can get ?

hi
can anyone share Rimbayu location in google map?
