I just came back from its property gallery just across the road from Sunway Velocity. The sales staff mentioned that the tentative average price is between RM800/sf - RM850/sf. As for unit sizes, I saw a 635sf units along with some 8xxsf and 9xxsf units and the larger ones are 1,045sf and 1,281sf. Just note that some of the smaller units are dual-key 1 + 1 types. Bigger units are the normal type. Land title is LH and commercial title.

This project will launch either at the end of this month or early next month based on the sales staff stationed there and I did see piling machines doing their work at the project site dy.

When I first received the notice from the SDB sales staff late last year, the early bird pricing is around RM 880psf - RM 900psf. Maybe now could've gone up dy.

Dropped that project in the end coz most of the units are 1 - 2 bedroom units while the the 3 bedroom is more like a dual key unit.

Not only UNA, but also SV and One Cochrane buyers.

The only problem, outside of the surroundings, is the potential for the KL city and TRX view to be blocked by proposed 2 buildings in front of it for the left block. Right block seem to have an unblocked view, tho. Those units facing Cheras, on the other hand, will have to contend with Lavile blocking it, tho.

Deleted the image from the quote as it is too big. Just want to focus on this comment.

To be on topic, I also received the msg too, but the pdf only mentioned 635sf, 840sf and 969sf as the show units that are available. 1,281sf is not available there. Will be attending it too this coming weekend.

Last time I checked, the entire Sunway Velocity land plot, which includes V Residence and the other buildings on it, are FH. That's why Sunway is able to sell those units at RM 1k/sf or more.

I'm also surprised that Sunway Velocity can connect all the way to the CSL station, which is around 1km plus away. In reality, it would make more sense to alight from either the Maluri LRT/MRT interchange or the Cochrane MRT station. Unless one wants to exercise from that CSL station all the way to Sunway Velocity.

One of our members, Askar Perang, dy posted the details at the other thread.

Bro, I'm no property guru/expert and not even a Cheras kaki some more.

But its Freehold and not really interested in the project as the largest size at 1,000sf is kinda small for my liking.

I seem to be bouncing back and forth between Sentul and this area based on my search for new launches.

I wish I had more time like my uncle, tho. When he pick a property he's interested in, he'll intentionally go over to the place itself during peak hours to analyse the traffic conditions there.

It's not the first, and it won't be the last. Seen quite a number of examples during my property hunt such as SkyMeridien on LH land while YTL's The Fennel, Capers, Saffron and Tamarind plus their d5, d6 and d7 office blocks are sitting on FH land. Then there is Southbank Residences which is FH while above it is 9 Seputeh which is LH.

I always wondered how the town planning unit in DBKL determines which land is FH, LH, Malay Reserved, etc.

You use underground tunnel just to see leng lui only?

I recall seeing that overhead walkway going towards the Cochrane MRT station under-con in tandem with V Residence 2 since last year, so don't expect any underground connection towards the former. Should be done by now but didn't really take notice as I seldom drive to that part of SV. Might do just that this coming weekend when I pay the sales gallery a visit for its opening day.

I just came back from the property gallery and the sales staff mentioned RM 0.35/sf for the maintenance fees and Tower A will be open for sale this September, not next year September (Tower B will be 5% more expensive). Furnishing-wise, it's nearly bare save for air-conds in all rooms and hot water storage tanks for all bathrooms. Units at 30 floors and above will be entitled to 1 additional cp. As for the floor difference, he mentioned to me that it will be RM 1,000 per floor. Will pay another visit once the pricing is announced on that day.

The only problem I had is the potential of the KL view for certain units in Tower A to be blocked by an upcoming serviced residence in the SW2 master plan which I was told is going to be two blocks as well. Tower B will have the upper hand as you only have to worry about whatever Boustead (or whichever developer) plans to do on that plot of land across the road from the Cochrane station.

Yeah, I agree, and I think that the layout is more or less the same like Tower A for those units facing SE (Cheras). As for those facing KL, I'd wager that the layout for type E and F for Tower B may be a bit different than Tower A just by scrutinising the shape of it in some of the photos I took. The type F looks more flat with the living room balcony jutting out and the type E unit next to it looks more like a type D dual-key unit (hopefully the latter will be a bit larger, tho. 969sf is kinda small to my liking).

As I mentioned previously, the pricing will only be confirmed on this September.

One thing I didn't highlight is that Tower B will be 5% more expensive, tho. But not surprised why given that both the NW (KL/TRX view) and SE (Cheras view) is unblocked. Just that some of the layout will be a bit different based on the scale model itself.

Oh ya, I didn't factor in the units on the other end of Block B. Yeah, a bit of a bummer thanks to the upcoming 2-block residential tower in front of it. I was more focused on the bigger units than the smaller ones which aren't block by the latter.

My bad.

Yes, including their later phases.

Their own use as in Sunway is managing the office building directly? Not really sure about that as I didn't enquire with the sales staff there and wasn't interested in it in the first place. I'm more interested in the residential portion.

But if it is really managed directly by them, then we'll see better corporate tenants and maybe some decent F&Bs there. We all know what happens when office lots are open for sale to any Tom, Dick and Harry and likewise rented out to whomever they want, regardless of what kind of business it is.

Anyway, the sales package will only be confirmed somewhere around September, so I'm just waiting for an sms update from them when the time comes.

Any pictures to demonstrate this?

Defects are common in any project, regardless if the developer is big or small. What matters is how fast they are in rectifying it.

Further away from the htc.

One among other reasons.

That was fast. The 2 different sales staff who attended to us only mentioned that the actual pricing will be revealed on September itself. If the pricing is dy revealed last week, then I'd better make myself available this Wednesday or this weekend to check on the pricing for both the 1,045sf and 1,281sf units.

I wish I knew. When I first registered at their tablet, I did not see any 'priority' section on the form displayed there. Even the sales staffs who tended to us did not point this out either.

Not too surprised because if you look at the scale model of Block B itself, the KL facing units at the leftmost corner where the 1,045sf and 1,281sf should be, the former looks more like a 969sf unit while the latter looks flat instead of the master bedroom jutting out for Block A.

But as for the pricing itself, the sales staff mentioned to me that it will be 5% more expensive than Block A. Most probably coz its Phase 2 (normal SOP to increase price on a new phase) and those aforementioned 2 units facing KLCC and the Cheras facing units will be unblocked.

Same here. I'm not sure how some here managed to get priority registration unless they have previously bought properties from Sunway or thru appointed 3rd party agents?

Which one? The 969sf unit? I know the right corner will see UNA smack in front of it, but the left corner will have a better view, but will have to contend with Lavile further to the front. Maybe best to get a higher floor if you want a good view of Cheras.

As for buying a unit with a potential of being blocked in the future, it depends on how Sunway designs their Phase 2 blocks. If the blocks for the latter are angled in a way that its units are facing directly towards Block A, then it'll be a privacy issue, even if the KLCC view is not blocked. Then might as well wait until Block B is launched as that block seem to have unblocked views of KL for the larger units and the units facing Cheras.

According to the sales staff stationed there, he mentioned that the medical centre and the education centre will be operational sometime next year. Could be the same for their overhead bridge connecting towards the Cochrane MRT station.
