Have to consider that lifts supplied is 5+1 for low zone and 6+1 for high zone

Total is 11+2 lifts for 1422units where majority is studios and 1+1.

From the map on UOA's website (https://www.uoa-southlink.com) there's 2 new exits/access to Duke3 or Federal Highway? Not too clear from the map

The area is already terribly congested 5.00-7.30 pm. Really need new roads
*
The Setiawangsa Pantai Expressway construction is ongoing now which will lead to Bandar Malaysia, Chan Sow Lin, Bukit Bintang etc.

The SPE's Kerinchi interchange is just between SouthView and KL Gateway. The flyover heading into the SPE already half constructed.

Therefore you have direct link to 3 highways - SPE, SPRINT and FH and if consider the link at the Pantai Dalam to NPE, there are 4 direct links.

IMO it is not the lack of links that causing the congestion but it is the traffic light and haphazard parking infront of flats/ university LRT station.

Sure or not?

I think the Bangsar South is well located and supported with infrastructure and amenities. However I think the properties are pricy as the absolute prices can be as high as those in more established area like Bangsar and MK. But Southlink the biggest advantage here is the compact size and low absolute price.

Can share your thought?

There is no excuse I think... the amount of units 1,422units and 32units/floor is still a ridiculous amount.

But similar to their past project like B8, Camellia and SouthView they are doing centralised low and high zone lift to reduce the waiting time and time in the lift.

In my view, the lift design that stop at 26 levels (with 32units/level) is better than lift design stop at 52 levels (with 16units/level).

like comparing BMW 5 series with Toyota Vios...

too many investors here...rental sure super competitive....and capital wont appreciate much....

this is common problem facing by all investors now...
*
Property market currently is definite not the best place to put the cash now with sentiment and dropping transaction & value. Government also pumping a lot of affordable housings and therefore plenty of choices for house buyers. Capital gain is quite hard to forecast now but I think rental liquidity should be there despite the 1,422 units. I do not think Southlink has many competitors out there except within itself.

If you have better avenue to get better return from your cash, should skip property...

exit at circa rm500k for 1+1 unit and rm450k for studio in 5 years time.
*
if you think the rental only can achieve RM1,500pm I think pretty hard to exit at RM500K +/-. do not think investors will come in at 3.6% gross rental yield.

My conclusion is similar to propcafe's conclusion that southlink will standout positively when it is vped in 4 year's time. So i am not surprisedcl to see popcafe's final conclusion. In analysing studio/single bedders situated near kelana jaya lrt stations, propcafe left out freehold Eve Suite @ Ara Damansara and also freehold Alila@Brickfields. Both these 2 projects also have small studio units and renting in the rm1800 to rm2200 range. Advantage of eve suite is that it is only less than 80m fr the ara damansara lrt via covered walkway and alila is via 200m covered walkway (with 2 security guards stationed inside). Southlink on the other hand will be 700 m away fr university lrt.
*
The biggest advantage of Southlink is the absolute pricepoint. If Southlink can be considered as Kelana Jaya LRT property play, their closest competitor is like Pinnacle PJ, Amcorp and Maytower where asking price is still less than RM400K. However they are studio less than 400sqft and without carpark. Where else Southlink is almost 500sqft for 1+1 bedroom and comes with floating carpark.

Eve is much further away, the 1 bedroom 680sqft is already asking RM500K. Alila I believe after VP will be asking > RM500K as well.

Saying bbb this project. But still so many units left over and many agents keep promoting it.
Haha. After vp u will get it with lower prices here no matter how low the absolute prices.
*
BBB time is over. Do not think any project will sell out overnight except maybe AK and Maxim. Then again... AK and Maxim has their cheques collection drive for few months before open for booking.

If SV's 1+1 is partly furnished with just kitchen cab c/w hood & hob, light, water heater, aircon and curtain can get RM1,700.. IMO not bad.

if take that SV rental as a benchmark, SL 1+1 unit rental might be RM1.3K-1.7K, Studio will be RM1.1K - RM1.3K
*
I believe rental for SV 1+1 and klgw studios will improve in next 2-3years as they do not have much incoming competitors which will allow the supplies to be absorbed.

Until SL or other developments in BS is VP-ed post 2020.

Read from the edge, the Sphere will be scaled down to lifestyle center ie just f&b outlets, supermarket and convenience shops.

The access and partially built elevated bridge from Southview already done. I wonder why it is not linked. Maybe await for KLGW Premium and Suites to be completed first before link up.

IMO if this is done, UOA surely will link Southpoint to Southview as the hotel guests will need access to the mall and University LRT station.

Can i get the verification that the propcafe quoted
"highest floor for 1+1 bedroom 491sqft still cost less than RM400K"
is still a valid offer currently?
*
Propcafe's article I think for early birds. Price I understood already up and UOA even engage external agents to market all available units.

Would say this is classic case of early birds gets the worm.

Reading from entries here, I am seeing ppl planning to exit at 450k-500k. I booked at 415k. Assuming 35 years loan with 10% down payment, monthly installment roughly 1.8k(exclusing maintenance fee) Loan interest roughly 18k upon completion. Completion: Q2 2022.

There are a lot to consider.

But I agree with your points.

Personally I think rental game (liquidity) is more relevant here. Even using capital gain as benchmark, you have to compare what are the launches this year could potentially give similar return.

IMO no point dwell of the past to make your present investment decision. Some even mention about bulk purchase and vvip that got hefty discount versus early birds but If not cable or network just need to buy base on your own resources.

Not Apple to Apple comparison
70% of SouthLink is studio and 1+1 variance

MV is minimum 3 bedrooms.

If you count human density...MV maybe much higher.

SA said no fixed parking allocated. First come first serve. It's like government flat. Anyone can park anywhere within the parking. Is it true?
UOA said this is fair for everyone. First time encounter such scheme.
*
Few of the development in KLCC already done this. Southlink is not the first one. However a good thing is the carpark parcels end of the day belongs to MC. They may decide to impose carpark fee or waive it. Personally i think they should charge the carpark usage and the monies collected will go to maintenance and sinking fund.
