which area pentas 1 u are staying? facing road or playground? thanks for info. will keep alert.

Living hall plaster ceiling close to powder room bocor. Master bedroom bathroom pipe leak when pump on.

How they managed to break in? Your house have fully installed grill?

The sales is start to slowdown in AI also generally other property developer also, of coz AI will be abit worse la cause the sales and marketing of this developer sek pao mai pao. And their product offering is so boring. They think they can still sell all just the matter of time. I also think the same way that they will sell all just the matter of time. Why? Because they own a good piece of land location. If this piece of land is developed by Ekoworld, when there is the product launching, i think the buyer will start to queue at least two days before.

The developer actually is not seling house only, at the same time, they are actually selling investment product. They are either launching the new product at higher price or not launching a new product if the sales is slow. I dont think they will adjust down the price/offer a package that make the price lower than previous phase. If they do this, they are jeopardying their future business. Imagine they adjust the price down by 5%. They will be cursed by existing buyer and these buyer will not be repeated customer for them in future. The new buyer will still stay on the side line cause they see a down trend, they will think probably if they wait longer, they can get a better deal. Or maybe they will not enter at all. So the sales will be even slower if developer adjust the price down. The super slow take up news will spread through out the market and their branding is effected.

Hi, I got a contact who sell gas type hot water system. It is maintenance free, low cost in using and no hot water tank storage issues. Please PM me if u need further information. Thank you

thanks so much... will check then...

My house facing playground on second row .They break in at 8.00pm on tuesday when we went out for dinner based on alarm system itinerary .they came in from the grd floor guest room back door. force open the padlock and grill lock and smash the window to open the door.The alarm went off but unfortunately no one responded including guard until we came back.

This is quite serious, alarm is not a deterrent factor anymore..time for I&P to get serious with the security measures.

I can't agreed with you more. PropertyNoob and sycluap

New Pentas 4 aka Pentas 5 build up and lay out are same as Pentas 4 (current on going) phase. However, due to most of their land size bigger and less intermediate units. IMHO, launching price might be same as Pentas 4 or higher. No way, InP will released with lower price. Nevertheless, their will launch as completed unit and ready to move in status.

Corner unit: 1,4,5,11,12,17,18,24,25,28

Inter: 2,3,6,7,8,9,10,13,16,19,20,21,23,26,27

End Lot: 14,15

Additional remarks: remember that many units are facing North (current Pentas 4's field) which will cost 20K more for all those units.

Time to force InP to implement GnF rather just seating here to post comment for those residence at Pentas 1 2 and 3 if you all are concern about the safety and security issues.

Hi guys. Went to see pentas subsale today. Quite interested in it. Can anyone give some feedback regarding the pros and cons of this place? Things like traffic/jam during rush hour to and from kl, food, safety, house quality, air quality, Internet etc. Read there's some piping and water leakage issue. Also break in! This is some serious stuff! The Longkang area and back facing bukit area also look easily accessible. Safety seems to be a main issue. How to make it gated & guarded? Also about the nearby industrial area affecting air quality. Appreciate your help.

Wow... This is serious! Why the guards did not do anything. They are utterly useless!!! Pay iNP for useless guards in advance!!!

What was stolen?

All owners here are concerned about safety and we are working with developer to have it fenced.

Alternatively, u may consider Alam Impian By Naza TTDI which is F&G oredy

Yeah, saw the houses there but quality doesn't look as good. Size also smaller.

So can the current owners give some feedback?

Let's talk about the Pros on this township and specifically Pentas:
1. Large built-up and lot size - Seldom you can get 25x85 freehold with Shah Alam address nowadays. The closest I can think of will be Elmina.
2. Low density development - I&P Alam Impian is one of the lowest density township that you can find at the moment. with it's large built-up and lot size, yet they don't squeeze many units into the parcel of development. This definitely a plus point.
3. Accessibility - Very much depend on your activities area. Situated along few major highways and minutes from Shah Alam town centre, also with several matured neighbouring townships e.g. Kota Kemuning, Bandar Botanic, etc, coming to AI and going to Sunway, PJ, Klang, Shah Alam, Port Klang and KL can say no issue at all.
4. Traffic Jams - Referring to point 2 & 3, and a little bit more study into the township planning, each phases with its own single entrance/exit, then connect to medium road before connect to main road, also using roundabout instead of cross junction, I personally don't see traffic jam issue (at least at the near future). Compared to USJ for example, do calculate you need to go through how many traffic lights and how many cross junctions before you can reach to main highways. If travelling to KL is your frequent route and you do not want to stuck in traffic jam, then you need to look for KL city center development. So far I yet to see any landed development at greater Klang Valley area that do not face traffic jam issue to KL city center.
5. House build quality - I&P has good track record for its build quality. Particularly for Alam Impian, they usually deliver more than what they stated in the SnP. All of all, I personally have no complaints not he build quality, except if I really want to pick bones in the egg, there might be some.

Here's the cons:
1. Air quality - at specific time the nearby factory will release some smell, but at the moment I only come across at specific time, around in the afternoon. Most of the time air quality is OK at Pentas area.
2. Safety - I think it is common to all new townships where the occupancy rate is still low, that house break-in do occurs. Knowing on the seriousness, all residents at all phases are working to establish F&G. Thus you can see Canting and Nukilan 1, 2 already undergoing F&G. With the single entry point to each phases, F&G can be conveniently established. Particularly for Pentas, we are working with developer for the F&G.
3. Internet - No Streamyx or UNIFI yet for Pentas, but older phases like Tinta, Ukiran, Nukilan and Canting already have internet service.
4. Commercial - Currently this is a major drawback for this township. As of Mar '14, total of 1524 houses has been built or currently under construction, but only with pathetically 7 units of shop lots. But worry not, commercial will sure kick in, only the matter of time.

Above is the short summary on my personal view. Of course some may agree some may not. It might serve as a reference to your purchase decision but definitely not by any mean to dictate your decision to purchase. Hope it helps.

Good one.

For all Pentas owners, do join our owners community for more info sharing and issue discussions at:

www.facebook.com/groups/ai.pentas

I guarantee you won't want to miss it!

Excellent overview boss. Thanks. Appreciate it. True I like it mainly for the size and design ( very squarish if u know what I mean). And also the quality. The only concern I have is because have to travel to midvalley which I roughly estimates requires min 1.30 hours during rush hours. That means 3 hours of traveling everyday! The security concern I know can be minimized once f&g is up but pentas area do have lotsa easy entrance so have to make sure properly fence up whole area.

Also heard there's land sinking in the area. Any idea which part exactly?
