The Hub@SS2 has just been launched... c'mon it hasn't break ground yet.

SDB's current projects are Windows On The Park in Cheras, Dedaun off Jalan Ampang and Laman & Bayu in Puchong.

Other developers too have constructing projects simultaneous with new projects.

This was just reported in Star on 29 jun 2013,
📻📡📢📢✂✂✂🔨




By LEONG HUNG YEE hungyee@thestar.com.my

THE potential move to impose curbs on the Developer Interest-Bearing Scheme (DIBS) by Bank Negara may be negative for some developers in the short term and has little effect on banks.

StarBiz had reported that Bank Negara was studying the risks arising from the DIBS, with a view of potentially imposing curbs on it.

Basically, if you purchase property from a developer who offers DIBS financing packages, then the developer would bear the interest for the loan during the construction period.

In other words, you don't have to pay anything to the bank until construction is complete. You only start paying the bank instalments after the property is fully constructed.

DIBS has become a popular and easy financing package offered in joint-promotional activities between banks and developers in recent years.

CIMB Investment Bank Bhd research head Terence Wong said if the move by the central bank were true, then it would be "negative" for developers in the short term, although not entirely unexpected, as speculation on such a move had already surfaced in May.

"Although such a policy would have a negative impact on speculative demand, we believe the impact on earnings would be muted, while creating a healthier property market led more by fundamentals," he said, adding that he had heard whispers over the past few weeks on the possibility.

"We remain overweight' on the property sector, with Mah Sing Group Bhd as our top pick, and robust sales and earnings growth as sector catalysts. Any weakness in property stocks is an opportunity to accumulate, in our view," Wong added. Industry players are still awaiting a formal announcement from the central bank, if any.

Mah Sing's group managing director and chief executive Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum pointed out that there has been no announcement on interest-bearing schemes thus far.

However, he hopes that any implementation would take into consideration the industry's feedback and the current market condition.

In addition, Leong said the lending environment was generally still conducive, with financing liquidity still attractive and interest rates still low.

While Mah Sing offers DIBS packages for some of its projects, it does not offer the scheme for its industrial, commercial and landed residential projects.

Hong Leong Investment Bank Research, meanwhile, believes that developers with a high concentration of high-end, high-rise developments such as Eastern & Oriental Bhd would be the most severely affected.

However, it reckoned that other major developers within its coverage would not be as badly affected, given their exposure to this policy shift would comprise less than 50% of their sales.

Kenanga Research analysts said there was market talk that Bank Negara might want to do without the easy financing packages as part of the property lending curb.

However, they say quick checks with developers under their coverage indicated that the developers were not extending this scheme to many projects at the moment, as banks were also discouraging developers from undertaking the scheme because of speculative activities.

"Notably, Hua Yang Bhd's and Crescendo Corp Bhd's projects do not use this scheme, so they would be least affected in terms of demand. So, in terms of fundamentals, it should not hurt demand too much, particularly for the bigger developers.

"It would affect stock sentiment in the short run, so do expect further sell-downs if the curb on DIBS materialises not even the high dividend-yielding ones would be spared," they opined.

In the medium term, Kenanga Research does not expect prolonged sell-downs, as the Government was already talking about implementing the build-then-sell model, which would restrict future supply and lend strength to demand and larger players such as SP Setia Bhd, Mah Sing, IJM Land Bhd and UEM Sunrise Bhd.

"Currently, our sector is under review. Our existing call is overweight' and we are likely to maintain this, but with a more selective or buy-on-weakness stance. We are likely to continue promoting affordable developers like Hua Yang and Crescendo due to their resilient demand-based profile. We also like Johor-based developers like UEM Sunrise, as we believe there would be more positive news flows towards the year-end, for example, the Malaysia-Singapore Rapid Transit System, the listing of Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd and more strategic tie-ups," they added.

Concurrently, Maybank Investment Bank Research said assuming DIBS packages were banned, it estimates the worst-case scenario to be a marginal 0.7 percentage point to be shaved off its 2014 industry loans growth forecast of 10.5% to 9.8%.

"We believe domestic banks have been more tempered in their exposure to the mortgage segment, and channel checks point to limited exposure at this stage. We maintain our industry loan and earnings forecasts for the individual banks for now.

"We remain overweight' on the banking sector, with our buys' being AMMB Holdings Bhd, RHB Capital Bhd, BIMB Holdings Bhd and Hong Leong Financial Group Bhd," Maybank said.

It explained that general guidance was that such loans had made up 15%-20% of new mortgage loans over the past few years.

Thus, some dampening effect was to be expected.

"Nevertheless, we believe the impact is likely to be contained by the fact that the housing loan growth of the Big Six' banks has been measured and such loans account for less than 5% of total residential loans for the big banks."

The Kota Damansara project comprises retail offices, F&B outlets, SOVOs (small office, versatile
office) and service apartments. The project will have a direct overhead bridge link to the proposed
Kampung Baru Sungai Buluh MRT station, which is located in the same locality. This project, on
a five-acre site, is likely to be launched in the last quarter of 2013.

SOVO and shops first , then service apartment will launch later.

Think similar concept to The Hub SS2, except not freehold.

The Hub SS2 is with DIBS, free legal fees for S&P and loan, 2 car parks,semi furnished, 4.5 years construction period, not sure about Sqwhere.

so, for this SQwhere, SDB is going to acquire all landbank which currently occupied by those small factories?

demolish those factories and build SQwhere? is the deal 'buy + demolish' already been done?

If this is true, that area stretch "D'sara + SQwhere + Kwasa RRIM" is set to boom!

I still can't picture it how will the entire place be in future. But if like Kota D'sara where it took 15 years to be where it is today, then might take much higher risk. Why not invest in a matured area then?

It looks like the recent budget has not in anyway lower the prices of new launches by developers. I still think these two projects will do well....demand are still there. The budget will not hv major impact, property prices will still go up due mainly to cost push factors like land, labour and material prices are going up and with the GST coming that will make it go higher still ...and also we hv a weak RM.

Should not say sold....by right is booked....

A lot of people will book the unit they prefer n after tat will try to get loan financing or re-think back whether is good for investment /own stay or not....

is just a marketing strategy from developer....refund without any penalty....

Like my case, I had booked 5 properties over last one month...simple.... just pick unit u prefer....drop the cheque...n go back to re-think.....

Eventually....all i cancel.....haha...

I believe a lot people do tat...

So tats y...some project u can see "sold out" at first day...then after 2 weeks u go back to sales gallery...still got units leave...

Buy property wisely....dun be fooled by developer's marketing strategy....

Normal practice is RM400-RM1000 for admin fee on cancellation, rite?

If developer accept credit card, 1.5%-2% also burn, so they cann't be refunding in full

My experience with one booking, they collect RM2000 and upon refund is RM1960, 2% for credit card charges but no admin fee

just contacted the sales person and they confirmed that the RM10k is non-refundable...so all these people will burn those money if they cancel it. then SDB will make huge profit from the forfeit... good way to make money haha...

They will only refund if the application for development and construction of the project is nopt approved by the authorities...now the lawyer firm Lim and Yeoh is holding the money and not them.

They will only refund if the application for development and construction of the project is nopt approved by the authorities...now the lawyer firm Lim and Yeoh is holding the money and not them.

This is consistent with what I was told as well.

Heard that S&P will be signed most likely next year, (3 months from the date, plus additional 3 more months in case they still can't get the DO / approval).

Thanks for the clarification. So for those who want to go round play play, make sure don't tangle with Geng Chau Developers like SDB.. flex.gif

Under HDA, developer is not supposed to deduct or forfeit the deposit except for the admin fee which is stated on the booking form and signed and agreed by the purchasers

But this is SOVO, commercial and not protected under HDA

So SDB has the legal right to forfeit the RM10k deposit

Just went to the Gallery...like The Hub, so much wow factor in the show unit, evidently the same designer using lots of scandi stuff. Very nice. Sales looks like about 70%.

I visited both galleries, let's just say I spent a WHOLE 10 minutes in Mah Sing's and then left immediately. That development has NO SOUL, no wow factor, just pure Chinaman run-of-the mill development.

But hey, every segment's got their market and fansi. Just today Mah Sing announced a jump in net profit yet again.

Only time can tell...but you can look around some of the hot locations and assess yourself. Look at Bangsar South, once known as Kampung Kerinchi, Jalan Cochrane/jalan Peel developments, this area was like a slum with wooden houses, light industrial lots, old workshops...

Some points to share

1) There are 2 high rise blocks here(or 3), one being SOVO (being launched), and the other Service Apartment (launching next year), and Retail lots - all sold out except for 1 I think.
2) SDB will retain the Retail block (They call it the Cube) similiar to the Hub for some fine dining (ermm) eateries
3) Can we stay in SOVO? The SA said the DMC will not have any clause to prevent staying - so another grey area
4) SOVO shares all the facilities on the elevated deck (level 8), also all come with one car park. VP in 2018. MRT to be operation in early 2017.
5) Pricing is about below RM800psf average for smallest unit (not sure rebate)
6) Directly linked to the MRT station, about 100 metres. Mah Sing's one is a bit further at 300 metres.
7) The usual SDB wow factor - sculptures from Colin Okashimo

If someone buys the property relying on a SA statement that Sofo, Sovo can be used for stay, and if turn out to be otherwise, can one sue for damages against the developer for misrepresentation? Any lawyers here to give your view?

There are 2 blocks - one being Service Apartment (to be launched next year), and the current launch with is SOVO. Serviced apartment will be launched at RM800psf - but who knows this might trend down due to the slow down in the market. Both SOVO and Serviced Apartments share the same facilities, and has 3-tiered access, almost like another service apartment.

You need to check out the concept to be able to appreciate the value in this. Compared to Mahsing, you can see this is not another run of the mill development. For instance, SDB has engaged London-based firm CarverHaggard (http://carverhaggard.com/) for The Hub as well as SqWhere, as the architect as well. These are some of their works for SDB in Singapore and would expect the same concept here:-

As for SOVO can stay or not - the House Rules, ie DMC does not state that you can't stay overnight. So again, grey area.

Gotta agree that the location is far from sexy, I mean, it's Sg Buloh FFK. But if you do drive there along the road now, you can sense it's up and coming, with the hive of construction on the MRT and soon the Kwasaland development, whose first phase will be northern part of the land near SqWhere.

In 4-5 years time, this place will be a different picture.

The fact that there is no standard S & P agreement for SoFo, SoVo and SoHo(???) , could be a source of concern for buyers, who may find themselves in the cold without the protection of HDA. The top of your priority, if you want to buy this category of properties is to buy only from reputable developers with good track records.

this is where it gets mighty interesting.

on one hand, nothing mention about can't stay overnight. but neither does it permits one to do so.

the other bigger dilemma would be the sharing of facilities. this seems to encourage the sovo as a residence. on the other hand, given that both parties starts leasing out the property as residence, and assuming renters prefer the sovo due to cheaper rents and same facilities, take a guess of what would likely follow?
surely SA purchasers would gang up and start complaining that the Sovo cannot be leased as residence?
and all hell breaks lose then?
yikes. but seriously, developers should clearly define what is what lah. don't mislead the purchasers please.

What if an office in sovo hired a bangla guard and let him stay overnight in the office to "guard" and will be sharing the same facility with the SA residence? Or smth similar like that.

For some who hv serious doubt and lack of understanding on these properties...they would not want to touch them...they would not want to end up with a property which is a ticking timebomb!
For some who hv great cofidence on these properties, and I think there are alot, judging from the sales and pricing, these properties met their goals and investment objectives, they would say go for them, why want to miss great opportunities!
Which side are you on? There is no right or wrong at this point in time....maybe 4 or 5 years down we will know who are the winners.

As comparison between DPC and Valencia pricing , Valencia is so much cheaper , a 3 storey link house with a roof top patio with build up about 3,000 sqft , the current price starts from RM 1.6mil , of course most Valencia house is leasehold.

Heard that recently ministry of housing raided several developers for advertising sofo/sovo as residence when the approval obtained is for "pejabat"

Notice that sofo/sovo will use director room, manager room, pantry etc in the layout plan. They would not use bedroom or kitchen. Also sofo/sovo have water sprinkle installed at ceiling to fulfill bomba requirement as pejabat

The law is clear just a question of enforcement

Does a transit-oriented development make all the difference?


A transit-oriented development (TOD) is a mixed-use residential and commercial area designed to maximize access to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership. A TOD neighborhood typically has a center with a transit station or stop (train station, metro station, tram stop, or bus stop), surrounded by relatively high-density development with progressively lower-density development spreading outward from the center. TODs generally are located within a radius of one-quarter to one-half mile (400 to 800 m) from a transit stop, as this is considered to be an appropriate scale for pedestrians, thus solving the last mile problem.

EPF’s Kwasa Land to generate RM50 billion in Gross Development Value
Posted on 15/01/2014

Projected GDV of RM50b to be generated over the next 20 years
State to reap economic benefits

PETALING JAYA — The Employees Provident Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd, tasked with the development of 2,330 acres in Sungai Buloh as master developer, is projected to generate RM50 billion in Gross Development Value (GDV) over the next 20 years.

As a first step, the master plan for the proposed township of Kwasa Damansara has been presented to the State government for their evaluation and approval. With this massive projected GDV, the state of Selangor is expected to prosper as more than 150,000 people move in to live, earn and thrive in this new iconic township.

The vast tract of land has received overwhelming response from developers making it a challenge for the Kwasa Land Pre-Qualification committee to limit the qualifying number to only 60 of the best. Over 150 developers had submitted their credentials and applied for the opportunity to work alongside Kwasa Land during the Pre-Qualification exercise. Tenders for the development of Phase I will be called in February 2014.

“We intend to work with the best and most experienced developers who are required to comply with our urban design guidelines as well as our high standards for creativity and promoting a safe city concept,” said Mohd Lotfy Mohd Noh, managing director of Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd.

As master developer, Kwasa Land will initiate development through experienced partners and collaborators to deliver a township with a difference. It has been positioned as a transport oriented development with three tiers of developers set up to exercise the widest range of development opportunities.

Tier 1 developers are classified as large scale companies with a paid up share capital or shareholders’ fund of at least RM1 billion; Tier 2 developers are medium scale companies with a paid up capital or shareholders’ fund of at least RM300 million, and Tier 3 developers are Bumiputera companies with a paid up capital or shareholders fund of RM1 million and above.

Upon obtaining the necessary approvals from the State authorities, the first parcel of 64 acres will be developed into a modern state-of-the-art town centre and transport hub in a partnership with Tier 1 developers. The town centre shall comprise 70 per cent commercial and 30 per cent residential components, with the added advantage of having two MRT stations built within its confines for the benefit of residents and commuters within Klang Valley. The successful partner in developing this town centre will be based on the merits of their design proposal and financial consideration.

In addition to the town centre, residential developments of approximately 10 – 20 acres each will also on a similar basis, be tendered out to Tier 2 and Tier 3 Bumiputera developers. These parcel sizes are maintained to ensure that the supply and demand for the properties are kept in control to match market conditions.

Although the 2,330 acres of this township development falls under the jurisdiction of two local councils, the State government through its State Planning Committee has agreed that one integrated master plan for the entire development be considered for approval.

The first three developments which will take place within the first two years come under the jurisdiction of the Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA).

“An additional allocation of 30 acres will be considered by the EPF to build a corporate park in a garden setting with the first phase for its corporate office. The goal is to spark a catalytic project to attract other corporate players and government agencies to locate or relocate their offices here in our development.”

Kwasa Land’s proposed land distribution “formula” shows the following percentage breakdown: 42 per cent for residential, 11 per cent for commercial, 7 per cent for mixed use, 11 per cent for green and open space, 23 per cent for infrastructure and 6 per cent for community facilities

The entire township project would be developed into eight precincts, each to have its own urban design guidelines. Based on this structural division of land, Kwasa Land is projecting land sales revenue of approximately RM11 billion for 1,350 acres to public limited companies, government-linked companies, private developers as well as Bumiputera developers. In addition, Kwasa Land is likely to invest in equity participation in most of the precinct areas to generate greater returns and to ensure conformance of the urban design guidelines.

Acquired at RM2.28 billion in 2012 from Lembaga Getah Malaysia, Kwasa Land aims to build a township that has a unique concept. Top of the urban design guidelines list is the preference for a three-pronged approach: Green, Connectivity and Inclusiveness or GCI for short. This is a clear indication of how urban design and building plans will achieve a tangible and sustainable trademark for the new township.

A compelling factor that drives the uniqueness of the township lies in the fact that it has multiple MRT stations, four highways that connect the development including the future DASH Highway that will traverse the township and future connections to the KTM Komuter service. In addition, the Subang SkyPark air terminal is located nearby at the South-West fringe. All these make the new township’s connectivity unparalleled.

To date, the MRT has started their construction, a plus point for the Kwasa Land planners as seldom do transport companies establish such a prior commitment, that is, before a township gets built and developed.

“In our case, this development will evolve naturally around the two MRT stations that have been planned,” added Mohd Lotfy.

Kwasa Land has earmarked and will undertake provisions for all ‘backbone’ infrastructure, common facilities and centralized amenities, and eight thematic landscaped parks to be enjoyed, green buildings, community facilities, a proposed common utility tunnel (CUT) that encourages a no-digging policy, central command centre and efficient sewage and disposal systems for both residential areas and commercial hub centres.

“People want a great list of things in their neighbourhood – green space, efficiently managed facilities and amenities, close radius to basic vendors and suppliers, accessibility, minimal pollution, all round safety, 24/7 security, centralised buildings for community use and more.

“We aim to consider all these needs and have in fact, incorporated them in the master plan including a 5.5 km linear park, in our effort to provide an improved quality of life and elements of liveability in our neighbourhoods. It is not a wish list but a feasible agenda as we have worked it out on our drawing board. It is all about achieving the right balance – as will be prompted in our planning and designs.

“The thrust is to provide a holistic and integrated development, which will require us to closely build and manage the development from start to finish or from drawing board to drawing room in the home. There is a high level of developer compliance, which will be spelled clearly in the developers’ urban design guidelines,” added Lotfy.

Kwasa Land aims to provide homes and residences totaling 28,000, comprising all types. This is translated into the township supporting about a 150,000 people who live and work in Kwasa Damansara. Its land distribution also shows that close to 50 million sq feet of commercial space will be created – an entrepreneur’s deligh

No direct entrance with u come from kepong area. Only entrance is to via sg.buloh village.

Well, 3 stations from Sg Buloh MRT station whereby SqWhere is linked to, is Tropicana Gardens, units for Phase 2 were sold at RM1100psf, this is 2013 pricing.

SqWhere's averaging RM 750psf with completion is at 2018 - there is definitely room to appreciate, with Kwasaland developments in full swing by then.

Such small units r really untested, my fren bought two 400-500sf units soho etc and hardly appreciates even after 2years ++...and bear in mind that this is during poperty bull run period...MRT is not everything, many high income earners tat can afford in sels, they need to use own transport, and at higher prices, many bigger units to choose from instead of these shoe boxes

People that bought this property should be verrrry worried, just my 2 cents. This might be a potential abandoned project. The land is agricultural land, but until today the units have been sold and the title of the land is still agricultural. Normal practice, developer will acquire the land and change the title to commercial or residential( this approval process usually take 1 year, pay some under table to make the process faster) then start selling once it is a full fledge commercial/ residential land. In this case, owners u need to do some due diligence.

I think property owners should know what is happening, if all these turns out to be fake. I truly congrats home owners that have bought the units. I think owners should call the sales agent to demand for explanation.

The conditional SPA states this clearly, and will only proceed if they manage to change to Commercial with the development order. If not the deposit is then refunded. This is SDB, a established and reputable developer, not your run of the mill developer who is making a quick buck before cabut.

In the SPA, it will be listed as office units, but the DMC does not state that you can only use it as office, ie, its flexible and up to you. In the later years however, it will depend on the Management Corporation, they can clear you out if you use it for residential and majority of the owners chooses to vote against such.

There is not nothing to do with government fund to develop Kwasaland. The only fund they need is to complete the mrt 1 on time. The development will be carry out by private developer such as brdb, mrcb, uem, parkcity, e&o, sime darby.... . Basiacally epf is selling off the land for profits...

If the price is set at rm800 psf, this represent pricing for a more mature area n need not wait for several years to achieve hive of activities...so does this means that the project is selling at future price?

Most projects sell at future price to justify developer's investment. Do you think they will still sell at RM500psf at this time ? That's RM 274500 for the smallest unit, logical or possible in this time and age? Mah Sing's SOVO is sold at cheaper than RM 650psf, but not exactly the same product offering I'd say.

Most projects sell at future price to justify developer's investment. Do you think they will still sell at RM500psf at this time ? That's RM 274500 for the smallest unit, logical or possible in this time and age? Mah Sing's SOVO is sold at cheaper than RM 650psf, but not exactly the same product offering I'd say.
I would not believe 100% what the SA tell you, as they are trying to sell you a product, but I only believe what they have written in the SPA and DMC, and the written law at the time.

SOHO
Small-office-home office? How does that work? Well in most cases, young singles, newly- weds and budding professionals take up SoHos for the convenience of being able to incorporate their living area with their work space. These strata-titled properties on commercial land can function as both a home and a workplace. In fact, their modest sizes are the result of a convergence of economic and lifestyle considerations. SoHos don’t need large floor areas thanks to clever interior designing innovations that allow much to be made from small spaces.

SOFO
Much like its name, SoFos are small units that offer owners greater flexibility in terms of how they decide to use their space –be it for residential or commercial purposes or both. Every unit is void of internal partitions and therefore provide the owners or occupants the flexibility to customise or to fit-out their units as they please. Owners can opt to buy two units side-by-side and erect an internal connection.

SOVO
SoVos are small offices that come fully equipped with telecommunication and infrastructural facilities that allow for immediate business start-ups. SoVos are commercial properties and thus the developer interest- bearing scheme (DIBS) is available to buyers, where they only need to pay 10% of the price until completion of the project. Owners of these units must be prepared that to pay assessment, water, and electricity and telephone bills based on commercial rates, which are generally higher than residential rates.

Despite every negative comments thrown at the location being ulu, SOVO cannot stay and overprice....and is 95% sold. This is certainly a very shocking sales stats to some people. It gives a picture of not many people is afraid of Sg Buloh and SOVO as an investment in property.

How did SDB convinced these buyers to buy SOVO? Is it because of their reputation or these buyers have vision and foresight that leads them to an incredible investment in the end? Whatever...I wish them success!

Only SOho can stay. Others whatever you try to name it, its purely office. Why not just name this SOHO instead of SOVO?

Heard of the MX-1 Kwasa Damansara project, recently awarded to MRCB? The one where our money, i.e. EPF has invested like a whole lot in?

Yeap, it's just VERY nearby.

It looks like there are quite a number of people are not bother abt whether SOVO can be used as residential or not...is almost sold out! Further is leasehold and some people claimed the place is ulu, and price shocking above rm700psf....but people still buy...could it be because is SDB product or something else?

question to ponder
i suppose the main (if not only) selling point of this (and dsara sentral) is riding on the success of kwasa

but kwasa has 2 of its own mrt station
im sure future commercial/office and more high rise will be built around these 2 kwasa mrt stations
when that happens, the appeal of sqwhere and dsrasental would be jeopardized tremendously no?

im trynna justify the high price tag of sqwhere
help anyone?

Few things to look at it :
1) SDB bought the land price for around rm200 psf. While mrcb bought kwasa land average at rm800 psf. Do u think mrcb kind enough to sell any future launch at cheaper than sqwhere price ?
2) For sqwhere and dsara, the location of mrt is confirm. And the site of this 2 development is also confirm just directly opposite of the mrt station with cover link bridge. As for mrcb future launch we never know whether there will be such development with just opposite of mrt station and comes with link bridge or direct integrated. Mrcb might reverse that part for super development such as shopping mall, A class office, theme park....
3) From the past record how do u rate development carry out by SDB as compare to mrcb?? Which one are more premium in terms of their development?
4) Accessibility for sqwhere is better if you wanted to access nkve or North South highway.
5) MRT 2 is speculated start from sg Buloh as well which is just 1 station away from this sqwhere mrt 1 station. Although it is not direct line for mrt2, but it is just merely 1 station away...

i think SDB quality more premium than MRCB but I see better appreciation in KL Sentral props.. It's not about the developer but about the planning n concept.. SDB's project will need to survive on people who can't afford kwasa's rental.. if the rate is close, then byebye sqnowhere...

Sqwhere is like brickfields and Kwasa is like KL sentral..

4 years from now, we can review the situation again.. u think any MNC wanna rent in ur small SOVO? MRCB will attract large MNCs to puchase/rent enbloc and u guys would have to fight for tenants who want a space that can fit 1/2 people in d office.. GOOD LUCK!

Moreover, in my experience with MRCB, they do things slow and steady and by then ur Sqwhere would still be NOWHERE in the industrial zone tongue.gif

in my experience, small companies with only 3-5 workers don't need MRT to work, they can rent elsewhere and give free parking to their staff.. Big companies need MRT connectivity as they have thousands of workers including low/mid end workers with insufficient carpark..

WHY would someone rent an office overlooking a bunch of factories for the same price he could get in places like PJ? few of my businessman friends from Sg Buloh have laughed off this NoWhere project.. they also wanna see who rents here when it VPs!

menara binjai was told rented higher than Rm5 psf.

menara felda/naza is owned by single owner...hence can dictate prices and attract bigger players to enfloor...totally different market than mine....which is sold individually.

Factory Gallery
Industrial estate gallery
A gallery in an industrial district in Kuala Lumpur. Inspired by the adjacent industrial estate - which includes informal furniture factories, lush greenery, and surprising public spaces - the gallery is designed as a series of separate volumes within a semi-permeable enclosure.

The exhibition spaces are accommodated in a series of separate steel-framed sheds with a highly glazed ground level. A wall of hollow concrete industrial ‘vent blocks’ and a covered walkway links the sheds together and creates a sheltered garden at the centre.

A hand-woven rope pavilion in the garden creates a space sheltered from the sun, enabling people to meet and enjoy the garden.

If it's the garden ofis I remember it needs bout 4psf to cover loan with mof 85 tenure 25yrs n maintenance + sinking If not mistaken. Dun forget quite rent assessment n mandatory mthly water charge under commi rate.

I was offer a corner unit lvl 3 long ago just next to elevator. Nice loc for the unit but back then I dun blif such concept 'll succeed there.

Btw is there another encorp strand ofis there???

Izzit wise to compare now ? VP date only in 2019, you have crystal ball to predict what's going to happen then. Well, I work in MNC O&G too. I can see many still have no issue renting soxo. So what is the truth ?

Sqwhere only have 2 blocks, the one sold out is the office block, sovo. Another block is purely service apartment which going to launch in August it seems. Sizes are bigger than 1000 sqft for sure.

Agreed with most of the negative features mentioned but

I dont think the project will be abandoned;

It will take many years for this area to achieve reasonable returns but the chances are fair given the transport infrac, covered carparks, amendities, etc;

Notice even SME are unwilling to locate offices at shoplots these days. If SoVo owners lower expectations and compete for such tenants, there is a good chance.

Plus MS project next door with total of 6 blocks, a hive of biz activities can be created. But the gestation will be long.......

It's always been a grey area even for so call purely residential. Strictly speaking, if it's residential, by right it's only for residential activities. Still people are use that to reply emails, work from home, calling clients from home, faxing from home. By right all this activities is prohibited in purely residential since it is clearly a business or commercial activities where taxes and utilities fees should be higher. Have u ever seen official raid into house due to this reasons?
Same case for soxo, it's going to be flexible use where no one can stop you putting a beds in your working place. Just the same as no one will stop you putting a fax machines at home.
Even some owners now are using third condo, house whatever purely residential title for airbnb. Does it legal? Strictly its not , cause you are delivering income from renting out as short term. Just like hotel, hostel which are operating as commercial. In fact this are violating the laws more than an office mix use as residential. Don't forget, soxo owners are paying commercial rates which is higher for taxes and utilities. So what's the fuss and issues if owners want to use it for mix use?
Those pure residential that use to do commercially activities is the one that violating the laws.

Yes, you should actually before authorities catch you doing "business" or commercial activities in your purely residential units. Clearly you are evading tax by using residential rates for mix use that have commercial elements.

Not sure piling is already completed or not but another 3 years to go.. Hopefully SDB comes good..

Which means for those early birdies who bought during the soft launch they need to wait for almost 6years to get key for their property.

boss it has been 3 years since this was launched at 750psf onward+6% gst+4.5 yrs worth of interest+ sovo property+surrounded by factories.

In your opinion, has this area improved in anyway? any upcoming catalysts? back when this was launched, tg phase 2 was 1kpsf n this was 750psf. 3 yrs later when prop prices have risen 20+%, TG phase 4 is only selling at 1080psf.

Hi, PCR referring to that they are suppose to reimburse the amount of bank interest I'm paying monthly starting from the second stage of loan disbursement, something like DIBS kind of gimmick. Kind of marketing gimmick only applicable for SQWHERE early bird purchases when it just soft launch.

what is PCR?
If SDB dont request disbursement. It is their problem while you enjoy saving of interest?
I wonder why are you so keen about asking them to disburse money out of your pocket?

Firstly this project's sovo block has been delayed in terms of construction. The whole area now is full of construction.

MRT Sg Buloh to Semantan stretch is waiting for completion of trial run and hopefully commence operation by December 2016.

The whole KD and Sg Buloh will be awaiting Kwasa Damansara's first few projects inaugural launch which has been delayed.

For me, as mentioned before, Kota Damansara's dataran surian area is still the better bet compared to other areas of KD and wats more if further deep into Kg Selamat.

TG's phase 4 is about RM1,400 psf and that is the buyer's SPA price (i'm not sure if they can subsale above that anyway). In terms of gross price and valuation sent to bank for evaluation, the Gross Price has increased for KD (watever rebates you received are just marketing gimmicks to lower your effective cost).

PCR is progressive cash reward, as mentioned : same gimmick as DIBS.

Is for SDB to pay back my bank interest starting from the second stage of loan disbursement to developer onwards and not taking out money from my pocket. No one is gonna be keen asking money out from their pocket.


** Anyways, updates - got a PM from a kind soul sharing his experience, with the PIC for SQWHERE project and phone number. And yes, PCR is ready, you can either ask SDB to bank in the cheque for you or head over to SDB HQ to collect it if they didn't email you. '
My case explained by them is my email wasn't updated, hence can't contact me hmm.gif but nvm la, I'm happy as it is. Thank you SDB rclxm9.gif

was there a reason why sovo was delayed? i mean other than mrt n kwasa, i feel nothing going on here n in face project title shld be renamed to kg baru sungai buloh which it still truly is after 3 yrs.

No use if SPA price if sky high n subsale cant even match 80% of spa price. One recent highrise but top tier developer is as such n blacklisted. End of the day everyone knows how 750psf evolved to 1kpsf in 2013 n stuck at 1.08kpsf today. Also note, tower 2 is completing 2 yrs while mall undercon vs tower 4 upon completion of the mall. If tg can appreciate frm tower 1-4, its nett n gross price would have risen 20%in tandem mega_shok.gif mega_shok.gif mega_shok.gif

Nevertheless, i am very interested in the performance of 3 sdbs products namely wotp, hub n sqwhr n their subsale performance.

But who cares about spa/gross price?? if rebates are just gimmicks why do people rush for them? just remove or reduce them straight away asap to increase profit coz good projects no need gimmicks kan? (and im sure tg staff will be removing the stickers just as fast.) anyway it would be so funny in the future if bank valuation especially non panel banks do not meet spa price because of the really high "gimmicky" rebates.

High rebates is needed to lower the downpayment entry and to create a psychological effect that the product is "Tai Mai" (worth it).

As far as bank side submission of Min-Max pricing, developers are often adviced to submit the best max price so that in future, they can still sell remaining units after few years at higher prices. Normally, developer's pricing will not have much obstacle and cleared by panel banks before banks are confirmed in their end financing job.

Naturally, I would advice buyers to think twice when buying products with abnormal rebates level, example >20%.

Buying w projects w high rebate/discounr which is not reflected in gross spa price is that you get relieve from rpgt and 'profit' the gain when buy, not when sell.

To me, if this area compare to Damasara Damai, then I prefer DD

As for Dsara, MS reserved the biggest lot for their own and planning to bring in anchor tenant like grocery

Sitting atop an 8-storey podium, the serviced apartment tower will house 255 units with a 2-bedroom to 4+1 bedroom layout and built-ups of 1,055 to 2,476 sq ft. Prices start at RM810,000 while the maintenance fee is 40 to 50 sen psf. Units come partly furnished with kitchen cabinets, hob and hood and refrigerator, and two to four parking bays depending on their size.

SDB reduce the SPA price from RM880K to RM810K? I hope they still maintain the rebate scheme.

MRT premium here is 30++%. Are you not worried that this svc apartment REAL prices are LOWER than the sovos? 3 yrs of inflation, GST, unfavaroble progress billing and lower subsale value due to non sch H.

For buyers who bought or considering Sqwhere/ Dsara Sentral aside the reputation of developers, I think the main attraction is the link to MRT station.

It will be only meaningful to compare the development with direct to MRT station and as far I know, the cheapest psf wise will be Saville Cheras by MKH which selling slightly from RM500psf+.

Sqwhere buyers, anyone tried withdrawing EPF for first home purchase? Since Sqwhere is a SOVO, is it still eligible?

Anyways got the answer to my own question. Not eligible because technically the SOVOs are for commercial use only even though when they were selling it they pitched it as similar to SOHO. So beware SOVO buyers, there might be a problem later when your tenants want to use it for residential use. blink.gif

the progress of this Sqwhere is equally slow if not slower than one of MRT link project Ekocheras.

Hopefully SDB will pick up soon since serviced apartment already opened for booking.

I heard from their SA, they would want to build both Sovo and residential and get both completed together, hence why the slowness, but I believe it will be really quick once everything on the residential side is finalize. I don't think SDB would delay their projects to pay their buyers.

I think they still haven't receive the actual permit to sell the service residences, that's why you can only book now but can't actually execute the SPA. The Sovo block will complete first with the serviced apartment about 6 months later (well depending when they are able to start to sell)

Contractually they have until July 2019 to deliver the SOVOs, so the progress seems OK at this time.

can think from the other way, easy get cheap and nice food, easy get daily foreigner worker for house/office cleaning and cheap price, easy get supplier quote many small factories cheap price also. (or it can be saying it is international zone).

The SOVO is 5 years construction period? Then it make sense for the construction progress assuming also the SPA kicked from DO approval date.

2.5years is not very long but should be sufficient for them to complete whole development. The next door Dsara Sentral the construction progress is much faster.

I'm one of the early buyers where I bought a studio SOVO 549sqft Sqwhere.

Am running a small scale, 3-4 of us, graphic design/advertising agency business home base currently and would be great to move over there once it is ready =) looking at the MRT facilities, it will be convenient to employ people too.

Any SOVO buyers here, would like to know what are some future plannings you guys are looking at for your unit ? Investment (long term leaving it empty), rental market, own stay or businesses (half stay, half business, or solely business) ?

EPF is the landowner, JV with many developers. For the main commercial development, it's wth MRCB.

QUOTE
MRCB, EPF to seal Kwasa Damansara partnership deal by year-end
BY M. HAFIDZ MAHPAR

 
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) is expected to complete by year-end the payment for its 70% stake in the joint venture with the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to develop the RM8bil main town centre of the massive Kwasa Damansara township, thus making the partnership deal unconditional.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Tuesday, MRCB also announced that the size of the Sungai Buloh land, coded as MX-1, was now slightly larger at 64.3 acres (compared to 64.07 acres previously) following a subdivision.

The balance subscription payment for its majority stake in Kwasa Sentral Sdn Bhd, the special-purpose vehicle to develop MX-1, has also been raised from RM735mil to RM737.88mil.

This balance (following an RM81.6mil advance payment) must be paid in full by Dec 29, or any other date agreed on in writing by the parties, said MRCB.

The latest revisions followed the signing of a second supplemental agreement between MRCB, Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd (the EPF unit tasked as Kwasa Damansara’s master developer) and Kwasa Sentral had on Tuesday.

The proposed share subscription in Kwasa Sentral was originally scheduled to be completed about two years ago - in the third quarter of 2015.

However, the target completion was moved to the second quarter of 2017 under a supplemental agreement inked between MRCB, Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd (the EPF unit tasked as Kwasa Damansara’s master developer) and Kwasa Sentral in August 2016.

Under the new supplemental agreement, the completion is aimed for the fourth quarter of 2017. The parties have also agreed that the interest payable to be set off against the subscription payments will only be up to and including May 11, 2017.

Both supplemental agreements were meant to give “MRCB the flexibility to finalise its financing arrangements to satisfy the balance subscription payment closer to the unconditional date.”

To recap, the town centre contract was awarded to MRCB in June 2014 following a bid involving 20 large, well-known developers. MX-1 was the first tranche given out under the RM50bil township project sprawling over 2,330 acres.

There was speculation, including by AmResearch, that MRCB was a frontrunner in the Kwasa Damansara project by virtue of it being an associate company of the EPF. (The retirement fund today holds a 33.5% stake in MRCB.)

The Kwasa Damansara project attracted a tremendous amount of interest, with the prequalification exercise reportedly drawing 152 developers.

Since MX-1, the EPF has awarded five more Kwasa Damansara development contracts - all for residential development - covering 53 acres with a combined gross development value of about RM2bil. The total acreage awarded up to now represents only 5% of the entire land area.

It was back in 2012 that the EPF announced it was buying the 2,330-acre Rubber Research Institute Land for RM2.28bil. The original plan was to develop the township over 10 to 15 years, with development to begin in 2013.

MRCB closed unchanged on Tuesday at RM1.68 per share, with 14.45 million shares changing hands.

Development approval was only given in Jan 2015, contractually the VP date will be 54 months from this date, therefore VP will be in mid 2019. Due to the delay in executing the SPA , SDB has also compensated buyers.

Actually the other forummers are not attacking MS or this property

They are warning newbies as to not fall for the property trap. Some irresponsible agents may paint some unrealistic picture to properties that are in the slump.

Property is one of the biggest purchase in a person's life, every lelong property in the market = someone got burned because they were misinformed of the value of the property

Sg. Buloh area is still not developed enough to command such premium price, buyers may need to hold 15 years or more to see real gains in their investment.

factories surrounding the area will affect the value of the property's resale value in the future
