Tenants staying in southlink not us. High density and floating cp no issue. Its priced into the rental.

My only reason to buy southlink is its direct connectivity to university lrt via kl gateway. If this conmection is not happening i will drop my booking immediately even if uoa gives me 2 allocated carparks. My objective is v clear.

The lrt linkage meant to give travelling ease to the new hotel currently being constructed beside southlink. Hotel name is Southpoint. This hotel is owned by uoa and it is to their interest to ensure guest has good travel access to public transportation. This is arguably the primary reason why uoa wants the linkage to be done. Klgateway wants more foot traffic into its mall to increase business prospects for its tenants. To have a direct bridge walkway for southlink, southview and also southpoint residents and guests having easy access to klgateway is good for their business. So its a win win situation for all parties.

If there is no link bridge to university lrt, will u still buy?

Yes its a concern. Southview without a link to the universiti lrt is strugglimg to get tenants albeit better quality workmanship as compared to klgateway. Since vped 4 months ago heard only 20 + units rented out which is not very enouraging. Rental rates also lower at only rm1800 despite offering 1+1 room and buying price was circa rm100k more expensive than klgateway.

Southlink 1422 units in 1 block vs southview 1104 in 2 blocks.

Ultimately its d direct link to universiti lrt which is an added advantage which unfortunately may not take place for both southview and southlink & this imo is a real dampener for the future rental market.

Its not over yet for southlink IF the walkway covered bridge ti uni lrt is confirmed. BUT alas its only an IF at this moment.

M vertica has a 500 metre covered walkway to both taman mudah mrt and taman midah lrt in case you are not aware.

Prop agent told me some owners are now selling southview at a loss. Sone selling to breakeven. 1 owner of the 1+1 room told me difficult to find tenant and the subsale price of southview has not moved beyond its purchase price of 2013.

The saving grace to southlink is IF there is a covered bridge fr southview to block H of klgateway but for selfish reason, kl gateway aint gonna give approval for that link because it will affect their sales of block H adversely.

The new buyer wont be able to buy with the discount.

I heard fr 1 buyer uoa cannot confirm the link bridge to universiti lrt. Its gonna be a long walk to the lrt and exposed to the rain and sun in the future with limited tenant opportunity.

I wonder will it be nearer to walk to the kerinchi lrt or the universiti lrt. I gotta try it out myself.

Pity the southview units facing the construction site of southlink. Its going to be a bit noisy these 3-4 years.

Walking fr SL all the way through the covered link bridge to kerinchi station is circa 600m. It took me 8 minutes max to reach the kerinchi lrt station. If i walk more leisurely it will take me 10 min max.

The exposed portion is less than 200m to the kerinchi covered bridge. Thereafter the tenant will be walking along the covered link bridge of 400m to reach kerinchi lrt.

If wanna pull out of the deal, dont sign. U can get yr full refund of rm5k. No penalty.

Only the tenants staying at southlink facing igb corp's land will be affected. Tenants staying at pool view not affected as they will be facing the pool and southview.
