Just pray that MRCS doesn’t sell out and have more say in their mission. Something like a first aid training centre or health workers hospice would be welcome.

Different strokes for different folks.

The price increase of 5-10% in blocks is similar to any project with subsequent phases. In this instance, there are tangible benefits in not facing a highway nor facing a cemetery and getting a city view. Most of the time in other projects, there’s no real differentiating factor beyond later launch dates.

The view and balcony may be important for me or the types of tenants I wish to attract. Don’t forget that cemetery views are a strike when it comes to sub sale.

You’re right. The Belfield Crest development was meant to happen to the east of Tradewinds one. Salcon seems to have leases on these 2 plots of land which are owned by MRCS.

The land in front of Sunway I assume was meant to be a later phase of their development. Nothing’s been confirmed up till now.

These were taken last week.

I’m a bit puzzled why tower a and b are not sitting on a giant podium. I didn’t think the middle part was empty.

Can’t really find details on this. It’s meant for cars of course but pedestrian friendly walkways are becoming the norm. If it’s convenient enough then you may have access to Merdeka MRt within 900 m.

Looks like the tunnel starts from the beginning of Jalan Belfield and it makes sense of course as the main purpose is to connect Jalan Damansara and Jalan Syed Putra with 118.

If that means less cars on Jalan Belfield then you may have a decent pedestrian experience.

Why would they? They’ve had such a strong sales response it doesn’t make sense for them to sink any more capital. If anything, it’s on PNB and their stakeholders to make this area a success and provide the infrastructure.

There would be a lot of hype around the building and shopping mall when it’s done. This development would be deemed a “bargain” and FOMO will kick in. Usual sales and marketing tricks. Once again I commend Sunway’s sales strategy in a very trying period.

No guarantee that things will pan out how we think. I just like to think one shouldn’t lose money. The oversupply issue for high rises still has not been thoroughly examined as yet. External opinions of Malaysia are still very poor namely because businesses are held accountable on who they do business with nowadays. Poorly governed and kleptocratic governments with weak diversity standards are seen in a diminished light.

From iherng’s Sunway Artesia review, I noticed he referred to a gazetted KL 2020 development plan so of course being the curious person I am, went to investigate and it’s available online.

Not necessarily conclusive but a hospital was planned for the plot of land in front of Belfield.

I’m hoping Sunway takes over the lease because they have the expertise for medical facilities. That’s potentially a pro along with a broader tenant base for housemans etc.

Con is noise like you said but I imagine red crescent is involved so it’ll revolve around first aid and humanitarian relief.

Don’t really care what is built as long as it’s not a 40 storey block of units.

Given that Red Crescent owns the land, I hope it’s used in a way that fits their mission. Though I suppose selling out to developers is a big boon to their balance sheet.

It’s on FB. Look up Sunway Belfield Owners Group.

Is this SPA or nett price? If it’s SPA then it’s about right, if it’s nett then Sunway has really jacked it up.

For reference, mid floor Tower B with 118 view for the smaller layout was around 815 psf nett

It’s the same just the balcony is 1 feet wider. The view is of course different. 30% premium for views, not an easy call but there will be people who will be keen.

This is more like Fuji apple vs Granny Smith apple. 😆

At almost 1k psf, a lot harder to compete for investment purpose. It’s great for bragging rights though. Better this than some random unit in Cheras asking for 1k psf.

Ok just to phrase it bluntly would you pay additional RM 300k for all that? The earlier phase is also partly furnished. Yea the main difference is you can pick the colour and wet kitchen gets fully furnished.

The math stands. Although we are comparing the same unit of the lowest floor in the first block vs the higher floors in the last block.

1130 * 980 psf = 1,107,400 nett

Majority of the type C were in the 700k+ range from my recollection.

What are you trying to prove? I just do napkin math as an example because people are being so thick.

If there’s roughly a 300 psf difference for a 1100 sqft property then yes it’s around 300k difference. I also gave caveat it was comparing the lower floor in A. It’s essentially the same layout but yes there’s vastly different views and incremental improvements so it’s a premium product. I did not rubbish it at all and said this type of unit will have its fans too.

Geez people can be such babies. If you’re a SA trying to deflect negative (real) comments, not doing a good job.

I beg to differ. Even ownstay nowadays I feel should be somewhat investment grade. Our lives change so rapidly nowadays whether it’s an overseas job, divorce or a sea change that you would want pretty much the biggest asset in your life to maintain its value if not keep up with inflation.

This product is not a high end project and in fact has been viewed as a value for money product (earlier phases that is). Example I’d use is an AirAsia seat. You have paid 30% more for a “hot” seat which is the same product but in a better location.
