From the investment standpoint, this topic has been endlessly discussed since 2009. I run out of breathe sometimes to reply and convince those naysayers why CBJ is not only good for living, but it's also good for investment.
my friends and I own few properties in CBJ for staying and investment, and the property value today has risen up to 60% to 90%, and bear in mind the value is the banker value, and not the asking price from buyer. we were the early birds when naysayers wrote us down about CBJ years back. We are still holding it today because we feel there is a more room for appreciation.
I won't deny there will be an oversupplies of SOHO, SOVO and others in years to come, however if you have holding power then anytime is a good time to invest here, especially we are talking about iconic places and its unique township here in CBJ with all the good things mentioned in the past forum here. The guidance here is that if you want to invest in CBJ with also consideration that you guyz are pretty late in the game now, you should be able to identify which product are the most unique and strategic one in term of location. That is the key. I don't know about you, but when I came in to CBJ, i just fall in love with CBJ, and i dont remember i came in with an investment mindset on my first property here in CBJ.
Many years back, people laugh when we compare it to DPC, Bangsar, Mt Kiara, today we have seen people from the said area coming to purchase property and intend to live here. When we share this to everyone here, we still see naysayers commenting and laughing...I don't know about them, but my fren and I are already laughing on our way to bank now

Distance is just one's perception and it's subjective on how one sees it. CBJ is planned to be sustainable city on the outset, and it has now become quite sustainable in term of convenience in getting everything you need on your daily chore although you can still argue that it hasn't reach to the maturity of KL areas, having said, it will not take very long to be as established as KL once the malls are up and running ( DPulze, IOI City Mall are coming up this year ) When that happens and you have all the convenience in getting whatever you want from the said malls and the next 10 malls within or nearby CBJ in years to come, would you then consider KLCC is very far from where you live? you probably won't want to go KLCC or Mid Valley anymore.
As some folks pointed it out here, would it be more petrol-consuming if one stuck in the jam versus one drive abit further along the highway congestion free, one would know that answer
And bear in mind, investment has been associated with long-term view approach with holding power, as oppposed to not short-term view strategy which is buy and sell immediately approach - this is more towards speculation. You have to decide what intention of you have and which camp you belong to. If you are speculating, then CBJ is not the place for you. DOnt' mix investment and speculation as one, most of us get confused and tend to mix this up together, therefore leading us to have different opinions in CBJ.
Anyway for those who have bought CBJ, i would love to meet you guyz up, as i think you guyz made the right choice. Great mind think alike as they said
