Agreed. Compared to the latter two, at least Sunway Putra Mall is still doing decently and fully tenanted. Just that the footfall is a lot less during the weekdays and a slight uptick during the weekends. With the largest increase whenever there's an event at PWTC.

Always wondered what happened to this plan as I always keep passing by their scale model which shows a few fancy buildings encircling PWTC. Been seeing it way before GE14 took place.

Referral fee I recall is RM 5k.

But the caveat now is if you introduce an acquaintance via buyer-get-buyer, he/she will only be able to choose a unit after the ballot/launch, not during. In the previous phase, both you and your acquaintance will still be able to choose your unit during the ballot/launch day.

Got this info from the sales staff based there.

Strawberry generation...

Looks like name-calling has ramped up to an all-new level in this forum.

They're basically the same like the 1st phase units, but smaller and without a yard.

I bought the Type D unit in the 1st Phase's Block B and I do agree that the living room space is a bit small, but still doable. Not much different than Block C's version for the width as it is only smaller by 50mm. Just that by the smaller length, both bedrooms 2 and 3 do look kinda cramped, tho.

But my one gripe with the studio unit is the rather small window opening as the other opening is occupied by the washroom. Would've been better if the washroom is at the bottom but venting may be an issue, tho.

For Block C?

Not really sure atm. The sales staff I was referred to haven't confirmed the launch date yet. Wonder if the ballot/launch was postponed because of CMCO or was it changed to the usual pick any unit in the sales chart like most (if not all) new launch projects in KL and the Klang Valley.

Even the official site still reads 'Open for Registration' for Block C.

Wonder if the Block C units are already open for sale or not. Haven't seen much news on their FB page regarding this after last weekend's free kitchen cabinet and 'up to' RM 60k worth of rebates SMS.

Tower D isn't launched yet, so not really sure on that.

As for Tower C, it was mentioned in one SMS that was sent out back on 11th November. Not sure if the offer is still valid after 29th November.

You could be right. UOA also practised this in their projects, including Goodwood Residences.

Not surprised at the shift from balloting to this method.

For Block D, you'll have to contend with the triangle-shaped land which housed the sales gallery in that direction. According to the then sales staff who attended to me for the 1st phase, he highlighted that it is going to be a commercial building. Not sure how tall it will be, though.

Kinda reminds me of Parc3 where it's best to get the north/KL view units above Menara PGRM (22/23rd floor onwards) just to get a decent view of the city skyline. Coming back to this project, you probably can still get the KL view, unless somebody develops that land full of derelict houses in between St. John's Ambulance and the Sacred Heart of Jesus church.

It could be an entirely new development and not related to the Sunway Velocity 1/2, since this is closer to MyTown.

You're right there.

Jury's still out on this, but I won't be surprised if they use Sunway Velocity name again. Maybe Sunway Velocity Three?

For the 1st phase buyers, I just got word from the sales staff a while back that they're targeting a 2022 completion, but no confirmed date as of yet as construction only just resumed near the end of last month.

Hopefully they're able to complete it on the month the Block A buyers signed their SPAs back in 2018.

As far as I'm aware, there's no law that states that developers cannot amend/add/remove clauses to any standard SPA template before they start selling a project. Otherwise, how is Binastra able to mention 60 months (5 years) in their completion clause for Trion, and in UOA's case, they add in a clause that disallows AirBnB, Homestays and student renting for Goodwood Residences @ Bangsar South (do a search for these projects and you can find the details there)?

At the end of the day, if one is not satisfied with the terms stated in the SPA, they can choose not to sign and move on to other projects which suit their requirements.

Which blocks are you referring to? Blocks A & B (Phase 1) or C & D (Phase 2)?

Can't answer for the latter two, unfortunately, but for the former two, the last I heard from the sales staff there is that it will be completed sometime in the 1st quarter of this year. I'm one of the Block B buyers and I received two extension letters in late 2021 and 2022 due to the MCO. When I checked the progression in person last week, the residential part looks almost complete, but the commercial block still have some scaffolding and netting on it. The ground floor entrance is still WIP as they are still laying the bricks on it.

Kinda makes me wonder if I should've gone for Goodwood Residence instead since UOA managed to complete it 5-6 months before the end of 2022, despite the MCO and whatnot. Oh well. Just fingers crossed that it will be completed by then.

For Goodwood, UOA did provide partial furnishings such as kitchen cabinets (hood & hob), including the wet kitchen for the bigger units, hot water tank for all bathrooms and a/c for all bedrooms, so it's a huge step up compared to their previous projects such as Scenaria, Desa Green, etc. which are all bare units. I paid a visit to the former last December as it is already complete and that's what I saw.

Probably because it's a fully residential project with only 40 floors in one block divided into two wings, hence the reason why it's completed faster than SV2 Phase 1, which is 53 floors for two residential blocks with 2 floors of shoplots plus 20-floor commercial block next to it.

Just came back from the sales gallery last week and the sales staff mentioned that Tower A & B completion date is pushed back to Jul - Sept 2023 timeframe. They're expecting to pay out the LAD.

Hope this is the last delay as it looks almost done.

VP date is on 25th August, to be exact. I'm one of the buyers of that phase (Block B) and got my keys early this week. Block A VP'ed earlier in the month. Great workmanship and had no defects when I inspected my unit. The placement of the A/C units for all rooms is really close to the ceiling, tho, which makes it challenging to put up a plaster ceiling/gypsum board. Units in Block A are more flexible as they are bare and only come with water heater tank and a/c points.

As for that link bridge connecting it to Sunway Velocity Mall, it is still not complete yet (hopefully it will be soon), so if you do need to go there, you'll have to walk outside and cross the road. I recall seeing a lift lobby under construction in the mall's P2 carpark level which connects directly to this bridge a while back so that you don't have to go through the mall to go back to this project after its opening hours. This will probably be the only way for the time being until Phase 2 is completed so that you can use its bridge to connect back to the latter if you're exiting from the Cochrane MRT station.

Yes. That project is called Sunway Velocity 3 as I was told by the Sunway staff assigned to me for the key handover.

Either way, the view facing towards KL city will eventually be blocked as there's still that empty plot adjacent to it which was once filled with squatter houses.

As an update, the link bridge connecting Sunway Velocity Mall to SV2 Phase 1 is completed and now accessible. I just managed to use it this Wednesday to reach the Maluri MRT station.

No need to walk across Jln Peel to reach the mall anymore (tbh, it's not a busy road, but cars drive pretty fast around there).
