Then how about PR1MA @ Brickfields and a few other Rumahw1ps which ended up fully booked within a year of its launch? Toto, 4D or lottery?

So fast?

The building only reached the 3rd floor. Still got a long way to go...

Never tried both, tho. Not really going to miss them either.

Prefer eating at either Sushi Zanmai, Go Noodle House or Putien when I happen to be there.

Those China tourists that fulfil those 3 criteria are actually countryside folks whose land were bought by the Chinese gov't for development purposes. Became 'instant' millionaires as a result of that. Hence they've got the moolah to travel and shop like no tomorrow while displaying their uncouth behaviour at the same time.

They tend to be rough folk, so yeah, don't expect them to change overnight just because they got a sudden influx of cash from their gov't.

Those who are white collar workers/professionals who come here to work or for business trips (not to mention tourists from this segment) tend to be more civilised. Talk about a stark contrast here.

Then wait for Phase 2 to launch.

That's what I'll do if I missed the boat for Phase 1.

Well, it's dy 80% or more sold...

Yes, it's the 1,119sf unit, the largest for Block B. Read the official site for more info.

Don't think anyone will have the data of which buyer are own-stayers or investors.

I'm aware that there will be investors who purchased a unit in this project.

But I'm not among them, though. I bought for own-stay.

If you ask me, I'm not really fussed on who bought a unit here for what reason.

Aware of that and can live with it. Only way to tell is once I move in there.

So few? I thought Block A is fully sold and Block B only left a handful of units?

There probably must be a few other owners group out there in fb and elsewhere...

I see.

I happen to be one of the buyers of this project who values privacy.

Reminds me of the chatgroup set up by the building manager at Jasmine Court (low-rise walk-up apartments) where my wife used to stay. Everyday for sure will highlight issues/complaints from time to time and sometimes if it takes a while, then they complain a lot.

For me, it's a good buy due to the connectivity to the mall itself and both the Maluri LRT/MRT interchange and Cochrane MRT station (which is connected to MyTown Mall if you don't mind the long walk towards it). You'll still have to walk to the mall via the link bridge connecting to the 2nd floor commercial lots of this project, so it's not exactly exit from one of the lift lobby and you'll be right inside the mall.

But do explore the area to see if you can accept the surroundings or not. The Restoran Queen nearby tend to be full of cars rampantly parking at the sides for those who go there to eat and skip the parking in both this mall itself and NSK in Plaza 393 across the road from the former. In terms of road access, Jln Cheras tend to be jammed frequently regardless of what day as the traffic lights at the intersection is the cause of the bottleneck, but there are other roads to bypass it such as the road heading to Shamelin Star to name a few (Cheras bound direction). There are also a few roads heading towards this project and KL direction which will also bypass Jln Cheras too.

Got mine at around RM 870/sf (after rebates) for a Block B unit, and it's a Cheras facing one. Wanted to get the KL-facing one, but since it'll be blocked by the adjacent rectangular plot which has a high-potential of becoming a high-rise, had to go for the latter one instead. At least I can still enjoy the KL view by going to the rooftop facilities floor and look out from there.

Also looking forward to know what Phase 2 looks like and how much it costs. Not because I want to buy one, but more to helping my parents choose a suitable unit there.

Phase 2 of this project is called 'Tower C'?

Thought they'll normally revert to Tower A and B for a new phase.

Are you referring to Sunway Velocity 2 Phase 2 block? It's the V-shape plot across from it's Phase 1 that you see in the scale model if you happen to pay a visit to the sales gallery.

According to the sales staff who attended to me when I booked a 969sf Phase 1 unit in Block B, he mentioned that it will be 2 blocks angled in a V-shape and it's shorter by around 50 storeys or less. As for it's pricing, a few above mentioned that it will be around RM 950/sf, but if you want a more accurate figure, it's best you sign up via Sunway Property's fb page or go into it's official site and sign up there. A Sunway sales staff will give you a call or msg you on this.

It's okay.

But there are other options nearby which are cheaper such as Platinum Mira, Parc3 and illi where the latter 2 are past the river. For the latter 2, just be aware that the surroundings are a bit dodgy and run down.

I remember that for those shoplots in and around Mira itself, a number of eateries and small businesses there open during the day, but at night, it's really quiet. The only part which is bright is where the bank branches are located. Reminds me of those shoplots surrounding Shamelin Star.

If more eateries and cafes (those that open until 10pm, that is) open up around there, I'm sure it'll liven up the area and make it more appealing.

Well, you never know what will happen there once all these projects are completed. Maybe what I said will happen (or not), or some shoplots in a row ended up being bought by a developer and demolished to build a high-rise, like what happened to a few shoplots in a row that were torn down to build a 20+ storey hotel, effectively blocking the view of the 6 Capsquare Condo units below 25th floor.
