22 x 75 : From RM 580k onwards
24 x 75 : From RM 650k onwards

No DIBS. No Freebies. Discount probably RM 8,000 to RM 10,000 ( yet to confirm )

Facade wise, 24 x 75 is looks much better than 22 x 75 ( with 2 types )

This Phase 1 is actually not bad, located at the centre of Flora ( or South East of Flora ), which also centre of btw 4 parcels namely Fauna , Flora, Commercial and Bayu.

Pro about Phase 1 :
Being the pioneer needs extra holding power. Location of being centre within Bandar Rimbayu and also the nearest phase linked to behind, main roads lead to SKVE and commercial, the lake and Bayu ( the most expensive phases ) before Elite highway or Saujana Putra.
Probably the biggest ever Green Township ( Silver GBI ) where based on it's garden and lake concept, it's about 580 acres are reserve for facilities, garden landscape, lakeside landscape and etc.

Con about Phase 1 :
Quite deep into from Bandar Rimbayu main / grand entrance. Upon VP, you'll need to drive few kms from Kota Kemuning to reach your office and bypass a lot of empty / construction lands. Was told, it was non perimeter fencing community hence the good units of Corner / End Lots becomes no privacy. The starting price is quite hard to swallow as this is too far from KL City.


The next phase ( Phase 2 ) would be the upper / North part of Flora itself. It would be similar concept of Chimes, but bigger size at 22 x 80 and 24 x 80 ( or bigger, tbc ) and price is nothing less than RM 700k. The pro of this phase would be nearest to Bdr Rimbayu main entrance from Kemuning but con would be next to a anonymous land.

Phase 3 and Phase 4 ( next year 2014 ) would be the most interesting chapters or I'd say, the best location among the whole Bdr Rimbayu ( until they unleashed the master plan of high end Bayu itself ). Phase 3 and Phase 4, directly next to the commercial hub, will inclusive of bigger units of DSTH which is min 24 x 85 or 2 1/2 storey ( for Individual Title ) and high end double storey parkhomes ( Strata Title ), however, IJM is remain this to be confirm too.

Bayu - Heard only Semi-D and Bungalows with greatest landscape, they may propose linked houses here, but if it is, it would be very low density 3 storey linked-villa. Too high end at this location. Wait and see how Bdr Rimbayu reach at year 2017 first.

Fauna - Location is too deep for me to find out more. Not much info available but similar concept of Flora or smaller homes.

Actually near is very subjective based on map. Bdr Rimbayu is next to Bdr Saujana Putra or Kota Kemuning. Both are big and huge townships, so next to each other, might be near but not completely all phases also near.

Bdr Saujana Putra's Royal Ivory is looked very near to Bdr Rimbayu Flora. But, it should be deter by approx 10 kms at least, it consider quite far apart in other word.

The Saujana Putra's cluster homes are quite decent at pricing of RM 500k+, agree with it if one may prefer modern decent home and do not mind too far away from modern township. BUt IJM is different concept of Bdr Saujana Putra, who looks to inherit of it's selling price by comparing and catalyst of Bdr Rimbayu itself.

Undecided.

Mostly not bcz it require my 30% downpayment, which is about RM 180k and I don't predict it can be flip immediately at great fold within 2 years after completion in 2015. Min holding for 6-7 years or until Phase 3 is completed, which the projected holding period is too long for RM 180k capital.

Unless, 90% loan or I able to get proxy, hehheehe.

I might also re-consider to re-enter Alam Impian, since the houses are well below RM 1mil.

Rating for Bandar Rimbayu overall is great, just need tikme & patience. If IJM did it well, it could be the larger scale of Desa Parkcity in a township basis but with majority locals.

Fauna : 5/10
Flora : 7/10
Bayu : 6/10

Bdr Rimbayu 2015 : 5/10
Bdr Rimbayu 2017 : 6/10
Bdr Rimbayu 2018 : 7/10

You're correct.

Lucky it was Leasehold, or else the pricing would immediate from RM 650k onwards for 22 x 75 and much deeply hard to swallow.

For a decent DSTH in promised land by reputable developer, IJM, actually RM 580-650k is very good price to buy although the area really needs time.

For own stay buyers or first time buyers, it would be great to have this choice of Bdr Rimbayu, a Green Township offers much more facilities. For those who works in KL, might be have setback knowing the fact of KL City is really too far from Bdr Rimbayu in coming years and need to wait few more years to see the access and roads are built.

For those who seek to buy now and aim for min 20% profit upon VP, I not dare to say it's impossible, but could be tough.

Hmm, as far as I know, most of the old Kota Kemuning landed was 22 x 75 or 20 x 70.

It should be around RM 520k onwards for a basic reno unit of 20 x 70
It should be around RM 550-560k onwards for a basic reno unit of 22 x 75, depends on reno which is asking higher.

Damai Residence, the latest newly completed phase last year, was asking RM 640k onwards for 22 x 70.

Unsure about 24 x 75.

You mean Bdr Rimbayu?

Was told by IJM staff, no G&G.

I dunno whether I heard or the IJM SA said wrong.

When I ask about the end lot n corner lot, I found next to it has small landscape bfore a main road. I was told, they only block the road at the end ( unable to drive further either or fall into landscape or long kang ) but no even perimeter fencing. Shocked to hear this and I would like to double confirm with another SA. Lol.

Probably everyone is busying for CNY festival and hence, not much ppl go and korek more info for expecting selling out / selling fast project which going to sell / ballot soon.

No brochure at all bcz IJM only finalize every package recently.

The ballot brochure above was image of size 24 x 75, which is a lot nicer than 22 x 75.

For those ballot registrants, make sure dont confuse by their Lot No. against Postal Address No. because they using No. 1, 2 , 3 as well ...

Created by the so called demand of registrants?

22 x 75, tentative RM 580k and now becomes RM 636,800 onwards

24 x 75, tentative RM 650k and now becomes RM 704,800 onwards

It is almost 10% increase and seems too expensive for the first bite. It might be a great news for newer phases of Kota Kemuning / Utama as wel as Alam Impian ... Would I&P kicks themselves for selling Nukilan 3 so low? Bigger land size and bigger built up. Hahaha.

+1

Rimbayu win in terms of GBI and much proper master plan of vibrant commercial, lifestyle and luxury living. But, that way too long to be happen and it require much more holding power compare to any phase of Alam Impian, or Kota Kemuning, stretch to as far as Bdr Botanic.

It has the potential to be the bigger landscape or township of the DPC at the South Klang, but location is a location, it is still too far from KL. It needs to complete at least 4-6 phases to see the 10-20% picture of whole Bdr Rimbayu.

AI or Nukilan definitely wins upper hand where the population slightly going in and by the time of next 5 years, it reach another schedule of population numbers and catalyst of being much developed by then.

Hahaha, probably bro.

Bcz I was told by IJM last month, that, tentative RM 580k and rebates tentative RM 8,000 ( max RM 10,000 )

The new pricing is shocked.

IJM price never cheap and fair compare to prevail market. Hahaha.

It's part of their trend too.

Most units orientation are well designed, all facing North and South, curving to East rather than West. But quite a few rows hit by North West.

There are some units are with advantage such as longer frontage ( face to face opposite unit ) and the price is slightly higher even as intermediate lots.

The poor thing is, some good corner units become a not so good due to non gated nor fenced of it's perimeter, so I don't feel secured if I am those corner lots owner.

Not only very hard to telan. Masuk mulut also need to lure out.

+1

Indeed, I also want to re-enter AI again soon, but not this year bcz have few props on hand going to complete by 2015 mid - 2016 early and don't want all going to complete at the same batch.

Probably I am waiting 2014/15 to enter. When it complete in 2016/17, the AI could be different compare today while, 2016/17, for Bdr Rimbayu only have 4 phases completed and still without any commercial runningas it might be probably under construction.

IMHO, Bdr Rimbayu has all the potential in very long run, until the residential completed at least 6-8 phases with min 50% occupancy and the commercial zone is completed after 1 year. Without commercial in Bdr Rimbayu, it has very little stakes to compare to AI or KK/KU.

I did quite interested to see the Phase 5-6, the stratified homes in the middle of Bdr Rimbayu and directly next to commercial shops/ hotel / malls / apartments, probably the best location of whole BR. It suppose to launch by early 2014 but based on current Chimes 22 x 75 selling at RM 630k onwards, I don't see the strata 2 storey homes would sell below RM 1mil.

I am confident that BR will do well in next 8-10 years, so, I am in no rush to buy the Phase 1 or 2. A good product would available anytime at any phase. The timing of BR is not now.

Good move by most of the Klang, Meru and Bkt Raja folks who bought Setia Alam at 200k++ 6-8 years back. It was their good sole choice due to newer township n near to Klang. It was really tough choice for investors to go in that period but its all paid back now after all amenities were matured and ready.

DPC was tremendously a crazy price area back in almost 7-8 years ago at this location of deeper Kepong. The concept did well and I admit its one of my most fave next home in future. Salute to Sam Ling who really turned it to become a gold gem. However, the location is location, I still dont consider it as good location but a good living place with park concept. I factor in the same for BR, which DPC is nearer to KL City compare to BR.

Wahh. Ur group so big, 15 ppl pull out. Big business loss for IJM.

Oic. Noted. Thanks bro for ur info.

Yes, since long time ago, it was mentioned no DIBS to be projected into this Bdr Rimbayu, where the absolute price would be even much higher if DIBS included.
