Too small. Nothing to do inside.

Good stuff is the AeonMax, and Caring pharmacies (AeonBig Watson, Guardian next to Ayamas are not pharmacies), while other independent pharmacies around KK usually closes by 9apm..

Other then those nothing much to see/do/buy inside..

community mall i think the function serve community very well already.

Fnb doing well, mr diy always full of people, aeon supermarket business also not bad

The AeonMax there price is on average more exp compared to Hero/AeonBig.

F&B I cant comment... the thai tried twice.. nothing to shout about. The jap.. so so la. Red Lobster, overpriced, taste lousy.

Mr DIY... er... personally I prefer ACE of the CSM opposite the highway.

Just hoping now Canal city is there... there will be big enough ppl around that area.. (plus those Jenjarom ppl?) to warrant a decent sized mall la... these days I drive to Atria (weekend around 25~30 minutes) despite Pyramid closer (cause parking horrendous)

To me, Santuary is only normal reinforced concrete structure come with plastering finishing,
Nothing inside the home is considered as high end home,
Despite they sold it at higher price range to the purchaser.
Concrete grade is the same, cement content is the same, brick is made by clay,
How on earth Santuary being catogorised as high end.
The only different is Eco willing to spend some money on landscaping, guard house and club house only...
Be smart lah.... rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

Don't you know own Tan Sri name is worth the 500k premium buyers paid? U say like this sure many Eco fans shoot you hahahah

Ofcourse... with our cool and airy weather... we spend most of our time basking in the sun enjoying our garden and the greenery. Hence the 500k premium for EcoSanctuary Semi D is well worth it sir!

Compared to ES..... Tropicana is using some crap concrete panel for their Cheria SemiD.... what a joke. Clearly inferior and cheap material..... gimme my clay bricks man!

Since you self professed construction veteran, which development constitute high end houses in Malaysia using those material you speak of? I only know sand or clay bricks.

How then do you differentiate high end, mid end, low end? I genuinely want to know. Is there a michelin star rating for houses so that we don't fall for all this marketing mirage?
*
I think it's easy bro..... IJM Rimbayu is low end cause their semi d is 300k cheaper.... Tropicana Aman mid end cause we use it as benchmark... while EcoSanctuary is clearly high end cause they are getting a 500k premium over TA for similar sized SemiD

So now the classification is based only on pricing? Not materials used?

How do you decide whether that price is fair? I ask a genuine question and we're back to square one.
*
I never mention about materials.

Also I think sarcasm doesn't comes across well on the Internet.

Anyway.... there is no such thing as "fair" price. A seller will try to sell as high as the suckers buyers willing to pay.

Exactly, 500k is a lot of money.
Regardless of how good the landscaping work, it's not worth.
Also, if you noticed, after the left turning (immediately from roundabout) into E Sanctuary,
The row of landscaping work with some lake and grass,
I think it's done by Tropicana Aman,
But just a lot of people thought is ES work...
*
Done by TA but part of the cost shared by ES. As informed by TA's SA.

Oh and DS4 I wanted to reply some of your comment above regarding my post... but dont know where to start cause I dont understand what you are talking about, my apologies... blush.gif

Wau lau eh.. Looks like my wrong choice of word -'high end' has caused a flurry of debate hehehe.
I should probably use the word 'high price' earlier instead.
I am just asking if Gamuda's 257 project designer home in Canal city can be priced  higher than Eco Santuari home.

At the end of the day, Canal city got something for everybody. Lots of housing choices. Those that want to pay less or buy value- can choose Bandar Rimbayu or Tropicana Aman. Those who want to pay more  - can choose Eco Santuari.
Home buyers should choose what make sense to them based on their financial capability and lifestyle preference.
Like someone was saying earlier....Janji u suka.  hehehe.
Whether its IJM, Tropicana, Eco world or Gamuda....these are good developers.
Home buyers can expect them to deliver.
*
Well Gamuda's not bad... they started Kota Kemuning... but if the 257's freehold.. then confirm I butthurt liao dry.gif

What i mean was phase1 is not going well due to closer the htc, buyers may wanted to wait for phase2 as it is further away with min 600m.
In fact, no scientific theory proven harm from htc, it is just perception from people, therefore we need not to prove anything that htc is harmful or mobile/elec appliance producing a more powerful electromagnet wink.gif

Speaking of filter out low holding power investor, personally hope developers to lower down gross price instead of giving out huge rebate for entry, this shall makes more benefit to genuine buyer.
*
Dropping gross price would annoy current buyers or ppl who just bought. It would also cement the idea that property market is in a downturn and that prices are coming down. Something developers would want to avoid cause majority will not buy if they think market have more room to go down. Hence they will come in when market start turning up.

Anyway.... for ppl who buy to stay.... anytime is a good time... look at it this way... currently u buy u get to slowly choose the units u like. 5 years ago u have to line up and ballot and pray u get a unit... and when you do it might not be the best possible spot/unit that you like...

That's right. WCE accessibility is important but it is not everything for this location.
The master township planning, the home design and product offered is also very important.

Anyway, talking about this WCE under construction...
WCE is a national highway that will provide the alternative to the existing congested North-South highway.
It will connect Penang/Taiping on the north to Klang Valley, Banting and KLIA. - phase 1
In phase 2, they will build the coastal highway connection from Banting --> Melaka --> to Pontian, Johor which will then subsequently connect to the Tuas link/Singapore.

When the WCE is completely built...given a choice...I believe the WCE will be the highway of choice for most individual drivers, tourists, due to the following reasons:
a) scenic coastal highway - easy connection to Pulau Pangkor , Melaka City, Klang, Sekinchan, Teluk Intan, Penang and beaches along the route
b) since the highway is built mostly on flat coastal land - it is probably easier and faster to drive along flat route compared to North south highway where we need to go uphill , downhill, uphill, downhill etc. (Note: we will need to compare the travel time and route when WCE is completed in 2019 example compare travel time to go from Klang Valley to Penang using WCE versus using existing North-South highway)  .

Just sharing my opinion.
*
Wow... you really put a lot of thought into the WCE. To be frank I didn't even know about WCE until after I bought into Canal Ciity....

uhmm....I dont buy into Canal City just because of a new highway like WCE lah. smile.gif
WCE is just a bonus that comes with it.
I buy into Canal City because of
-the master plans of all the developers working together to create one of Klang Valley's greenest townships area.
-A Desa Park city  type of neighborhood designed by the original architect of Desa Park city helps sway me over too. - -More importantly, it does not come with a Desa park city kind of price  rclxs0.gif 
Where to find a new 3200sqft real semiD at 1.25million in Klang Valley with such a generous allocation to green space/ landscaping e,g, lakes, trees, biking trails, walking path plus amenities such as high-speed broadband connectivity, international schools , proposed Chinese school etc.
A Panahome (sort of smart home) some more. e.g. constructed using the latest Japanese building technology that solves common Malaysian home issues like bad indoor air quality, water leaks, roof water leaks, insulation against heat of the sun and built-in home security system.

Well I bought into it mainly cause it's close to where I'm currently staying and I like that particular unit tongue.gif

Though I'm glad people smarter than me really thought it out and makes convincing arguments for the development. If nothing else it helps me 'feel' I made the right decision hehhehe

Bro, I think the wall material for Cheria semi-d is different from the rest of Tropicana's houses, right? What's ur opinion on the integrity, heat & sound insulation performance compare with the usual clay or sand bricks? Have u actually seen or experience the difference, i mean the real product itself?
*
Integrity should be much stronger as the wall itself is being used as supporting column for the structure. Down side is you cannot hack the concrete wall..... unless you engage a qualified engineer to make a study on the integrity of the structure once u hack part of it.

Oh and the '5 months' timeliness they been spouting for the show house seems to be in line....

very interesting question, though i didn't get Cheria, but curious. with the pana home walls, can you guys still drill holes at it?
as tough as concrete? then will be a nightmare drilling through it.
*
Yes still can drill...

THere is a whole section on what you can or cannot do with the wall in either the S&P or DMC, cant remember which.

Yes. The walls that the homeowner cannot hack/tear up is clearly highlighted in the S&P.
Drilling small holes to install cabinets, closets... no issue.

Having said that, this is a strata titled development....no external extension allowed.
The floor plan for Cheria e.g type B is all wide open and rooms also square square one...I dont see the need to do  internal wall hacking hehehe The house built up is almost maximized for the land size already also. Not much wall hacking needed la.

Got.... the staircase....

I wanted to have those glass/steel stairs... now seems like cannot cause part of the wall supporting the stairs is no-hack zone... which means I cant even convert the area below the stairs to those cabinets dry.gif

Bro,
Nice plan/idea.
I don't see a reason why you cannot have those glass/steel stairs and cabinets below the stairs.
The part of wall where u want to convert to cabinet fall under red color wall which you can hack those sepuas-puas nya
hahaha
Only those walls with the bolded black color are the prefabricated concrete wall and those are mostly on the outer perimeter of the house.
*
You see the first part of the stairs... its RC slab wall... if u dont remove that part... the stairs gonna look SUPER funny...

Well.... lets wait for the show house and see how it goes..... oh and get a really creative ID haha...

Look forward to tons of pic once the showhouse is up... I'll be updating our FB page with HD pics blush.gif
