The price also uncomparable! Hehe

Did any sifu or siche here know what the package they provided?

Free s&P?

Free kitchen ware?
free other?

Fren say PSK better maintained than PNK wo, how?

went there last sunday and wanted to get myself a 807sqf unit but all sold out, so now i am in the waiting list, being bad-hearted now and hoping that someone cant get their loan approved!!

package is pretty standard:
1. DIBS, free S&P legal fees
2. 5% rebate
3. kitchen cabinets with hood & hob,
4. engineered wood flooring for bedrooms
5. aircons for bedrooms
6. water heater for master bedroom
7. 2 car parks for those with 2 rooms, 3 car parks for 3 rooms (if i am not mistaken)

To be completed in 2016, i quite like the layout of the 807sqf unit as it gives more space and flexibility to renovate it~ not really sure of the rental return though, since it is pretty near to citta mall and the lrt station, i suppose it shouldnt be too bad

free build in kitchen cabinets, hood and hob, washing machine(with dryer by ariston). full ceiling cabinets for 1 of the rooms, bath rooms taps, bidet, raindance shower all by Johnson Suisse. Free 3 or 4 airconds, at least 2 carparks.

Free s&p , loan agreement except for stamping.

The 2 main flaws in the 807sf layout is without a public bathroom and yard. However, I do like the show unit for the small unit, looks cosy and homely. You might want to add the 2 parking provided as another selling point as well.

Could be a flaw or could be a selling point, since i will be renting it out, having a public toilet are normally quite a hassle for rental units and i've had problems like nobody would wanna take up the responsibility of washing that toilet , IMHO, added that into my points, thanks for reminding!

You can even consider doing a dual-key if you get a hand at the small unit. Good luck

so now all smallest 8xx sft all sold out?

Many talk about buying to rent Urbana and also H2O

Wondering if this is a sound strategy since so many units coming on stream now with many "investors" looking to rent...

At a psf price of rm650-rm750 psf I think likely difficult... Small unit only rental income can expect 2.2k to 2.5k?

Older more "average" condo ie psk got cost advantage for rental market (even pnk rental market already quite slow already)

So really can buy to rent?

Appreciate views from all.

My comment is based on my visits to both condos recently. I won't stay in PSK for sure... Feels like living in flats, sorry. PNK on d other hand, esp the low rise ones, looks much better & cleaner. Landscaping is also better. I sold mine only last year, which I think I should hv kept it instead.

How much was transacted back then?

I bought one but still waiting for the loan approval

seeing the pricing... this makes AraGreen's price a steal... freehold some more

Hi, I bought this Urbana 807sqft. Low floor level 6.
Loan already approved. Signing this week.
Bought it for a few reason, LRT, city's mall, cheaper psf, future prospect of Ara Damansara.

Yeah, it is designed in a way that it can be renovated with little cost and make a dual key if necessary.

My Oasis Ara Damansara Studio also rented out at 1500 partial furnish 1 year ago.
I think 2500 is doable for 2 bedroom in 3 years time.
Other freehold projects are selling at higher psf last year and coming soon. That is why this project is sold out... SHC project would not be cheap from what I heard.

agree agree... Congrats ya !

Congrats dude!

You must be living 2 years back.

Ara green is around 850psf..

My unit was mid rise, 1328sf, tastefully renovated w built ins , side by side 2 parking spots, 8th flr... Sold it for RM520K April 2012 (record price back then I believe).

the first block was 750psf... didn't pay attention to it after that cos it was too expensive...
