I also have not details, only info is location near Citta Mall and the developer is Weida

Seems like this is the marketing strategies nowadays, create suspense...

Reveal too much one shot no shock...like this more sexy

Or they haven't got AP yet...

was told 15-storey serviced apartment with 356 partly furnished units in total
*
Looks like this area all restricted to 15 storeys due to nearby subang airport

Same for Nova Saujana, Verde and Aragreens...Oasis also

If cannot maximize height sure the developer maximize on psf price

But on the other hand lower density for own stayers

Ara Damansara still considered attractive

1. High class freehold and quiet residential area
2. Actually the park next to Seri Pilmoor is not bad and can be turn into like the Central Park in DPC but don't understand why Sime Darby has no such passion as they still own many land in this area
3. Upcoming Tesco in 2014 should bring some commercial activities but disappointed that Oasis commercial still slow to take off although now quite packed during office hours with all the Sime Darby people, even start to sell season parking
4. Surprise that fund related to Superman Li who bought into Citta Mall has not done much to boost it
5. Upcoming 2 LRT stations nearby at Pacific Place & Eve Suites
6. The future retail space at Nova Saujana managed by Pavillion
7. Sime Darby medical centre nearby just like the one in DPC
8. Peaceful traffic during weekend for residents unlike places like Kelana Jaya Paradigm area or Kota Damansara area
9. Considered well connected by various highways and in between PJ, Subang and Shah Alam except for the jammed Jalan Lapangan Terbang
10. If you go to Sime Darby sales office there, they have plan for more condos, Auto City, another mall etc

But admittedly the tenancy market still weak...haha

Citta Mall is a convenient place for most people there to just go have dinner after a tiring work day. I prefer Oasis Sq.
*
The restaurants at the Oasis Square facing the water fountains looks cool...

Any good restaurant at reasonable price to recommend?

This place looks really pleasant w d water features & all. I frequent Bad Boy Cooks & Rakuzen... Been to Royal Flush only once. Theres another restaurant behind named The Wok serves decent & affordable Chinese food.  thumbup.gif  I'm hungry again, damn.
*
Bad Boy Cooks not bad...hope to see the place filled up with more operators (not only F&B) and bring crowd

Wonder how much is the rental of one of those restaurant unit, I think all kept by Sime Darby for leasing out

Jalan Ampang @ Ara Damansara highrise better?
*
For investment Jalan Ampang better but does not mean Ara Damansara no good

For own stay Ara Damansara better but does not mean Jalan Ampang not good for own stayer depending on the individual profile and needs

Both about same price psf but Jalan Ampang maybe 10%-20% higher

Actually I also don't know what I am talking brows.gif

This is really interesting....

Urbana is only next to Puncak Seri Kelana and Puncak Nusa Kelana....address should be similar...

But it is called Urbana @ Ara Damansara. 😄😄😄😄😄

More than 15 years ago, those 2 property needed the "Kelana" name to sell the location as "PJ". People staying in that area avoided it coz of the rubbish dump aroma and the squatters nearby.

Now Urbana is using the "Ara" name to sell...

How to compare pro&con the 3 below:
1) SHC condo @ Ara.. "Expected to be launch later this year"
2) Eve Suite
3) Pacific Place
*
SHC - all the fans of this top developer will sure sapu clean at least the smaller units

Eve Suite - next to future LRT station but surrounding not so good (people call this the poorer side of Ara Damansara) and car parking all along the roads. Fully furnished so no product differentiation after vp. There were previous concern of construction delay

PP - also next to LRT station and super high dense with college/mall, early buyers looking at good profits now too late for late comers

Urbana vs SHC vs H2O

Any thoughts?

H2O got upper hand? Freehold & situated truly in Ara.
*
In terms of brand, SHC is the best without question

For H2O, the high density is a concern and developer past track record

For Urbana, need to know more on product details

What you mean by truly in Ara, all 3 projects also in Ara nearby Citta Mall, rite?

All 3 are freehold also, no?

But H2O is so so so so dense
SCH next to Citta Mall
Urbana sandwich between Citta Mall and LRT stn 02
H2O seems further to Citta Mall and LRT but nearer to Tesco

Urbana RM650psf
SCH RM750psf
H2O unknown

SCH got commercial component
Urbana and H2O should be only residential unit
*
H2O has commercial component too as per Titijaya SA at last week Expo at the Curve whereby they show the scale model

On the contrary.... if PSK, PNK and Urbana all in the same place, to me i think that Urbana and PSK will benefit at the expense of PNK
i) Urbana = differentiation pricing market
ii) PSK = cost leadership market
iii) PNK = "stuck-in-the-middle" / "neither-here-nor-there" market (?)

But think PNK still has fighting chance if Citta Mall manages to carve a good niche for itself.... (then it will also be "differentiated" and hopefully can command some pricing)

Appreciate views from all...

Also, somehow i feel that PSK will be "thorn in Urbana's side" rather than the other way round (hence more likely PSK price will trade up rather than fall flat on its face).... Thoughts anyone?
*
Believed Citta Mall will face competition from Tesco when it open next year, Tesco structure already almost complete. Aragreens will have walking distance to Tesco and its commercial Aragreens Village which would have fine dining too. Nova Suajana will also have F&B managed by Pavillion. By that time, Oasis Square would also have more operators...

How come HK Superman Li bought Citta Mall but didn't do much to boost it?

When Pacific Place vp, this part of town will have heavier traffic...foresee cars parking at the road shoulder...haha...

Saw their sales gallery at oasis ara damansara, but still not open to public yet. Their mock unit looks promising. I think the launch is going to be soon.

At which part of Oasis?

Older yes, but are suficiently equiped. Urbana, nex 2 psk, is a good comparison, careful not b caught up in d newnes of things. Greater upside can b found in d secondary market than recent new launches.

Psk most r smaler sf than pnk, hence cheaper, its location is beter than pnk as it is vry tenantable by employees in symphony, it has apreciated faster than pnk. Psk stil has much beter upside as it is within walkin distance 2 pacific place lrt station n yet away fr d pacific place congestion.

Jus like nova saujana, hip, but amaya saujana which is nex 2 it is a beter buy. Much lower density, biger acre of land, away fr highway.

Amaya suajana easily more than RM100psf cheaper than Nova Saujana
