The Sunway Velocity Two sales staff who attended to me mentioned this project to me last year.

Said that there's a cemetery nearby on the right side of this project. Will be interested to see what the whole masterplan looks like once it's unveiled.

Speaking of which, the land clearing and piling works are on-going when it started in middle of last year.

Hopefully that unit price is not for those units that will be facing the cemetery directly, depending on how this project's blocks are positioned. But I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

Not only that Kwong Tong cemetery on the south-east, but also the adjoining one in the south. The latter is also not near, but it's on a sloping hill so you will be able to see it for those south and south-east facing units.

And speaking of which, even those units facing KL118 will have to contend with a carpark lot and an empty plot adjacent to it which might be developed into another high-rise. North-west may have a better view unblocked view in the long run.

accetera Could this thread be changed to Sunway Belfield Residence, Kuala Lumpur? A poster in another thread updated it with the site: http://www.sunwaybelfield.com/

If any mods are reading this, is it possible to merge the other thread with this one?

Not to mention that the closest public transit is only the monorail, which is the 2nd slowest after the KTM.

When KL118 is completed, then you'll have another option of using the Merdeka MRT station. If you don't mind the long walk across the bridge, then towards KL118 itself and the station.

Definitely not possible to walk there. I did drive by that area a few times on my way home and don't see a pedestrian pathway there. You and your kids will definitely need to commute to Kuen Chen via monorail or car.

You can still use the monorail or MRT to commute to/from work to avoid the jam.

Then use the car on weekends for your social activities.

Or unforeseen circumstances.

Which MRT or LRT station close by for this project?

Well, he specifically ask for MRT and LRT...

There's an LRT/MRT interchange at Pasar Seni and the Merdeka MRT station. Agree that both are quite a distance to walk to if one doesn't like the monorail at all. At least for the latter, when KL118 is completed, the resident can walk through it to reach the station for a more comfortable walking journey.

If you want to be closer to the former station, then consider GSH CORP'S CHINATOWN KL PROJECT, The Vertical Living | Opulence as it is within 200-300m.

Agreed that the monorail is closer at around 400m, but if you have taken monorail in the past, it's train frequency is equivalent to that of the KTM, which is quite slow at 15 mins or more. Only recently was this reduced to 5 mins frequency during peak hours. But still pales in comparison to the LRT and MRT, which can achieve 6-7 mins frequency during non-peak hours and 2-3 mins during peak hours.

The below details advertised from the Sunway Property page (link):

You're right that they're leveraging on the monorail as the main public transit option.

But if I was a resident in this project and my workplace is at KL118, it'll be much easier to just walk there (although far) rather than take the monorail all the way back to KL Sentral, then walk some more to the MRT just to reach the Merdeka MRT station. Better still if there is a covered walkway built from the Kuan Yin temple all the way to one of the KL118 entrance.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is for units facing the cemetery (East).

Those facing west/city direction will surely be priced higher.

According to a post in the previous page, with the price of RM 680k (after rebates as mentioned) for a 788sf unit, it's more to RM 863/sf.

If one cherishes an unblocked view, then it's best to get projects that aren't surrounded by empty plots (including those filled with squatters) or nearby high-rise apartments, condos and serviced residences.

There's still the monorail within 400m, so it isn't exactly lacking in public transit options.

Just that if you want to use the MRT (either Merdeka or Pasar Seni), be prepared to walk more than 700m just to reach it.

Noticed that the northern-facing Type D and E units have a wall on that angle, so they'll only have a east/west facing. Must be to avoid whatever project that's going to mushroom above it. Btw, Type B and E are not so lucky since they're also facing an empty land. Talk about being surrounded by future development soon.

The noth-facing Type C will be the unfortunate one to be directly facing that empty plot of land, while the 2nd one opposite it will either face this project's future block or the cemetery view (depending on how the blocks are located).

The Type D and A2 units facing west, if you prefer having a view than facing potential development above and right of it.

If view isn't a concern, then any of them will do fine.

Based on my experience of purchasing a unit in SV2's Block B, they just basically mark up 10% (HOC discount) + 10% (Developer discount) in the HOC form to show the before and after price, which is the SPA price for the latter.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same for this project.

Wow, like this I might as well get the west-facing Type C and the next block's Type D and A2 (that block near the Jln Damansara/Istana highway) for unblocked views...

That's new, but find it a bit hard to believe, though.

Is Sunway building this tunnel or PNB as part of their KL118 construction?

Agreed. Quite far away if you look at the map.

I work at Q Sentral and my office (23rd floor) is facing the west side of that Kwong Tong cemetery. Quite a distance away and you can still have a good view there. You can also use the VR link shared by syncronyzer in page 8 to get a better view of the surroundings.

If the monorail's speed is equal to that of the Putra (KJL) Line LRT, including the train frequency, then I wouldn't mind using it.

There are only some mild improvements such as the 5 mins frequency during peak hours as a result of the arrival of the 4-coach trains, but still pales in comparison to either the LRT or MRT.
