The architect will decide where to break the walls, not the admin or management.

According to the sales talk, there will be a covered walkway to the MRT from One Cochrane by end of 2024.

Outside architect or one that knows the actual building plan, with developer approval? Wouldn't connecting units like these affect Master Fire policy, since doors/openings will affect how fire spreads, as well as structural integrity?

My understanding is if you bought a few adjoining units and they are on the top few floors then you can request to have openings. Sunway does this. It doesn’t make economic sense to me but hey whatever floats their boat.

Saw the design language then know already, this is not family oriented at all. What idiot designs a parking lot separate from condo block? Only way to go across is a single bridge sumore? Family and grocery buyers rejoice!

And all those sharp, edgy elements surely inspires confidence! All it takes is one fall and confirm the JMB/developer kene sued.

Yup...just take the escalator down (in mins 35:04 of the clip)

The parking lot is just next to the condo blocks, it's not far to walk across.
I am aware of quite a few projects the car parks are built on separate buildings without any issue.
Just to name 1, Li Villas at Section 16, PJ.

There are lifts to take it from condo level 6 bridge to gym/pool, on top of the car park, which also has lifts to serve the trolley or heavy luggage without going up staircases.

Level ground can also walk across without any issue.

The only not so nice view is the car park lot blocks lower 6 floors of the residence units.
Any floor above the car park lot is fine.

A 20 year old condo being compared to something today that sits at a premium price point for its area? Try being a mother with shopping bags and baby in a pram. It’s doable but not ideal. We are just querying certain design decisions that ultimately can make or break what is desirable for a buyer/renter.

If we treat accessibility to the car as a premium, landed would definitely be at the top. How does building the parking facility at another block help anyone? It's a waste of prime land (cost) AND time. Basically a white elephant project

I’ll just add salt to the wound that this type of car park for a woman alone is particularly dangerous. Have people forgotten about Canny Ong what happens when there’s dark nooks and crannies in a car park as well as being so far away from the main thoroughfare. So ya if being raped, stabbed, then burnt on top of your legs being cut off is to your taste go ahead 🤨.

If I remember it correctly, Canny Ong incident was in a SHOPPING MALL in Bangsar after 10pm, where she was probably drunk, most customers were already left, car park empty, and no security guards.
After the incident, the said shopping mall had to hire a lot more security guides, which raised the car park fee by a lot, for the sake of safety.

Technically, ALL DARK and EMPTY car parks are dangerous. Security is the critical issue regardless of whether in the car park, or even in the condo itself.

I am currently staying in a condo with blocks A, B, C. Blocks A and B have in-building car parks in b1 and b2, whereas Block C has only b3.
The visitor's car park is in block C,b3, where it's relatively dark and no security.

Therefore the main comparison difference is the convenience factor.
Security is related to the number of security guards.

Thanks for the reference, this is certainly a good discussion for pros and cons of the car park location.
Realistically, a landed property with car parks in the yard is the most preferable choice.
As for the condo situation, the entire issue points to the convenience factor.

Safety is, as I highlighted in my last post above, can be achieved by getting more security guards, at the maintenance cost of about RM 40k per guard per annum, at this moment.

Wah canny ong also brought up. Either you are old knowing what exactly happened that back in time when not even touch screen phone era or just sensationalized news..troll a bit, no offence.

Not more partition game, can investor still earn money from latest vp property? Especially student graduated from real estate top experience practicing expert's teaching?

Anyone here has the whatsapp group for One Cochrane Owners? Please share.

Hai..hows the rental market?.it is good?

This property reminds me of M-Vertica, where there is a standalone building for the carpark and facilities, while the residential units is another building. Only thing missing is a covered walkway to the MRT station, then it'll be perfect. Also, a safe passage across to the 2 big megamalls across the road.

Why no tour of the extra curricular facilities closeby? You could really differentiate yourself as a creator of NSFW content. Arguably all of this detail has bearing on property values.

LOL, good idea. But that would probably be another channel altogether.
