big wor.. 1800acre..
but lion group..

Never heard of semenyih south.. dunno y need to brand it as semenyih south.. maybe same case as bangsar south.. could be beranang rename to semenyih..

Rebranding of Bandar Akademia? http://www.lion.com.my/WebOper/Property/PC...ademia-Siteplan

Semenyih so Hot after Sp Setia launching the Setia Eco Hill.
maybe lion group will bring in Parkson to Semenyih.

So deceiving, looks like further, after Bayu Lakes.

http://www.lion.com.my/WebOper/Property/PCD.nsf/BAMap/

Not that far from Setia EcoHill 2. But a big far off from Lekas.

Now we can call this is far.

from map seem very close to mantin and nilai. S'gor and N9 border liao

SI BEH FAR!!! Negeri Sembilan wei!

CY, it is about 5-10km from SEH - not so far but no access to Lekas wo - so it is FAR.

They have plans to do an access road through Bdr Tasik Kesuma and straight to new SEH 2 exit. Then it will be near to LEKAS. But don't know whether this will happen or not.

Semenyih very hot liao, that's y they want to brand it as Semenyih South! haha

Leng Chai,

In the future, they can make good use of the Ecohill 2 - Lekas link lo!

Wah. This property really far, until Kampung Beranang. If not mistaken, no bank exist in surrounding. This one is close to the banglo unit of the Pelangi Height by MKH, I suppose.

Even much further compare to Semenyih Parkland...

Macam Bukit Raja using setia alam link to NKVE, later semenyih south can use SEH link to lekas ma.

there will be more n more development along the LEKAS highway. Problem is as of now, there's limited exit to it.

if is enough traffic volume there will be a entrance or exit. Lekas will do it for free.

still not enough traffic meh now? i heard residents of Kesuma Lake could spend hours just to get passed Semenyih town.

yup.. lots of developer is riding on lekas/latar.. new highway

indeed.. semenyih traffic using the old road is horrible.. even the exit has to go thru the town.. which is also horrible..

Later lah until majority willing pay toll than the interchange will be build but no worry later can use SEH link ma.

Yalo, me already biasa coz my office factory is at beranang.Another facotry in rawang also same super jam. Cant understand y all kawasan perindustrian the road condition is very terrible and danger to road user.

Semenyih South can use EcoHill 2 punya link to lekas, no need to sampai Ecohill 1 punya link.

Jln Semenyih will be widened to 2 lanes each side, hopefully by then can reduce the congestion lo

When they will start widened the road?because i heard this story since 2008 lorh...
i heard also aeon will be built in semenyih...is it true..?

lion also aggressive near banting

JKR said 2014 start woh, dunno how true ah.

I am not sure about AEON woh

Peri kor,

Ada dengar pasal AEON in Semenyih and the widening of the road?

Semenyih getting hotter lah.. even established like MKH also buying more lands... see news today..

somebody put aeon semenyih in wikimap..hahaha..mybe just imagination
http://wikimapia.org/27014486/Aeon-Jusco-S...yih-Coming-2014

I am frequent traveller from Mantin-Semenyih, basically it takes

Mantin town to Semenyih Tesco: Around 20 minutes (15 minutes if drive very fast and clear traffic)
Mantin town to traffic light where you can turn to Nilai/Pajam: Around 5 minutes
Mantin town to Staffield Golf resort: Around 10 minutes

We can only use Mantin/Semenyih toll to KL if buy Mahkota Hills, Pajam toll not recommended.

Which JKR u refer to? I don think will start in 2014

Let me double check with AMINT 1st, he told me one.

Road widening is a matter of time. Its the responsible of majlis and JKR to improve. Hope the selangor Exco can help give a nice butt kick to these slumber fella.

About Aeon, since the take over of carefour, i think setting new outlet wont take off so soon. A lot of their existing outlets are undergoing major facelift. Not easy. Even tesco semenyih also half dead

Whats worng with Lion group ?

They are the master developer in Bandar Mahkota Cheras , rite ? not doing good?

Which project in banting?

Bandar Mahkota banting, their masterplant does not fly off YET...

The one at kampung road from banting to megasteel?

http://www.lion.com.my/WebOper/Property/PCD.nsf/BMBanting

Yes, they are the main developer for BMC but good or not u have to judge sendiri lo

Even they sold the land at Bandar Mahkota Bangi to IOI Properties

may i know who said this? Actually some parts of Semenyih already has 2 lanes each side, but still congested

I really want to know how this project is doing. ANy buyers here?

Guys,
i am buying a land here. I visited this place 2 days ago. Not to be denied, yes it is kinda 10KM inside and the not much houses around as the owner purchased the land for investment and not to build their ream house. Well this is individual rights. Anyway, when i checked around there are already few house been occupied and at the same time there are developers building houses on this lands. Other than that, i went to the clubhouse and met the sales person. From the Q & A we had this project certainly will not be abandoned due to few logic's below:-

1) The area is well maintained
2) Staffs are hired by Lion Group of companies and they are there working
3) Houses after houses are being build
4) Mantin is next target area and not far from this place we would reach mantin town, seremban and nilai. This are major areas in NSDK.
5) Intervention of SP group of companies (if i am not mistaken on the name of the company) whereby there will be a cut through on the Lekas highway and this will be nearer fo BA residence.
6) from the Q & A they have got many government servants as buyers recently.
7) They had 2 future development areas in BA if you could see the BA plan picture. This project is started!

this might not happen soon but in less than 2 years chances of this place to be fully occupied is very high and taking consideration of the prices of current houses outside there i would say this place is 100 times way better and that is with our dream house.

hey ranger, izit really cash purchase only ar? I tot all available units r sold off? how much did u buy it for? but its really really far.

Gogogo.....

already got ppl build bird house, its definely a dead place now

U bumi ah?

Hi Ranger, I went to survey myself at this place and stumble upon a few questions that I want to ask.

1) This area is well maintained? In terms of? I don't think there's electricity or water supply yet to the houses. They did not mow the lawn, no street lights... (Well, there is, but not working I guess?), Pak Guard allowing whoever wants to enter including mat rempits to race at the streets.

2) Staffs are hired by Lion Group? Which staffs? I hardly see anybody apart from the construction workers (many are Indonesian origin) and the sales agent which are available only on Weekends.

3) Houses after houses are being build. Yup, that is what happening now.

7) They had 2 future development areas in BA? Which area? Enlighten me please.

Although I think this place have potential, it is still long way to go. If want somewhere near Lekas, there are plenty Seri Pajam developments next to Lekas. If want nearer, people will argue SEH is best.

Anyway, please share your thoughts. Thank you.

went there few times since last year..... from Bandar Akademia change name to Mahkota Hills...
visit back last few months.... can see lembu jalan jalan at the road.

overall.....very very very very very big time screw up koyak development.
landscaping also no eye see...after 1-2 year still the mati mati same.
lion group totally tak boleh pakai at all.
corrupted company... those old manager staffs try to suck every penny out from all the projects and put in their pocket.
location sooooo deep inside. far far away from amenities.... give it another 5 years also macam mati.

About the developer:

As far as I know all the project under the name of 'Mahkota' is under Lion Group. I heard they also had sold Mahkota Parade to a Singapore based company (probably Hatten Group). They also reclaim a piece of land (can't remember how big) behind Century Mahkota. Which make Pulau Melaka is no more a 'Pulau' since it will connected with the mainland. I guess this is part of their investment strategy, invest in a new area then develop part of it, sell part of it.

Bandar Akademia @ Mahkota Hills, Semenyih:

Development of this area has been started in the late 90's (according to a friend of mine living in Semenyih). Their early goals was to sell a plot of land (4,000 sqft) to buyer for building a bungalow. At that time, for a plot of land with a 4,000 sqft only cost as low as RM20K (read it somewhere on other forum). Even those who bought in 2009 manage to bought it at a price of RM90K. Somewhere in 2008, they changed their marketing strategy by focusing the market to government servant. FYI, govt have an advantage in their housing loan scheme which they can apply a loan to buy a land and built a house on the said land. Previously, it's really hard for the developer to sell their land as no bank would want to finance as what been said by HELLO HELLO, it's almost become 'big time screw up koyak development'.

Thanks to the govt servant buyer, Bandar Akademia manage to 'survive' and the developer manage to sell a completed bungalow instead a plot of land due to history valuation by valuer (there is a buy & sell transaction been made for the last 5 years). Not to forget on the new development within 20km radius. The developer also has launched a 2-sty link house starts at RM300K++ in 2014.

To purchase a plot of land, you need to buy by cash. Loans are only applicable for govt servant as most bank doesn't want to finance it. However, you may buy a completed bungalow house with 1,100 sqft built up with a land size of 4,000 sqft at a price of RM360K. If you want to save your money, better buy by cash as the cost to purchase a land + building a house with 1,100 sqft built up would only cost you RM280K (all the price stated here was for during mid 2013 - mid 2014). You could saved a RM80K. The pros of purchasing a completed bungalow is it would takes a shorter time for you to get a house instead of purchase a land and later build it. Do take note you are not able to purchase the land only. You need to buy the land together with the package building the house. They have their own contractor to build the house. However there is a way how you could built your dreams house (your own design, but this would become an extra cost for you)

Just want to clear few things based on my observation.

1. Infrastructure has been built accordingly. You can see in each phase a TNB substation is already there. Electricity and water supply to this area already available. About 5% of the residence area has been occupied (based on the house that has been built). There is a routine schedule to mow the lawn as the buyer need to pay a maintenance fee of RM20 per month.

2. I don't think there is any Lion Group staff at the development area. The appointed agent only do the marketing on behalf of both developer and contractor. The guard is hired by a security company. The labour workers were mostly the worker for the subcontractors.

3. The 2 future developments areas in BA is the agent selling point key. One is a mall located near phase 5 and the other want that I heard from the agent there will be an expatriate residential area. Looking back Lion Group past history ..... you can judge it by yourself. Honestly I don't have the confidence, however, so far there is only 1 hypermarket in Pelangi Semenyih. No mall within 20 km radius. Aeon is known for their robust in venture into an emerging market. While Parkson is own by Lion Group .. who knows what might happen in 2020.

4. In terms of market price, a plot of land in College Perdana Height located near to Lekas exit in Pajam price RM10 higher than BA. New development double story linked house with a 2,000 sqft built up in Ecohill (RM360K++ in Sept '14) , Tasik Kesuma (RM400K++, Oct '14) and Mantin (RM360K++, Jan '15). Subsale bungalow in Taman Tasik Semenyih with almost the same land size as BA priced at RM420K. Country garden home ... i'm sure it cost more.

5. BA (Lenggeng) + Mantin is under MPN, N9 while Semenyih area is under MPK, Selangor. Both PBT are known for their fussiness especially on developing new projects. I just hoped there would not be any clash on the township planning and both of them could work together to make a proper township at least like Bangi.

Hi, I am a land owner in Mahkota Hills. I have visited the site last month. It seems that the developer is planning two new projects there: condo and 2-storey terrace house, mostly will launch this year.
Anyways, I plan to sell off my land.

If anyone is keen to buy a land in Mahkota Hills, please let me know 012-2680 627. Thanks!

You are right.
LEKAS highway serves as an effective traffic dispersal route.
It is cheaper alternative too.
The point is: it is a matter of time, more n more development, along the highway.
Popular places need no introduction, such as... Kajang, Semenyih, Beranang, Lenggeng, Pajam, Mantin,

so how is this area (bungalow land) now?
any update?

Last I heard was small developers unable to get CCC & there are many house owners unable to move in since 2012.
Some even said their houses & pagar all already kinda in ruins
[based on their facebook page]

There such a lot of people start to move around here since last 3 years. I moved here on 2018 at one of UMLAND project here. So I can see such different for past 3 years. UMLAND take quite a few big lot and develop terrance house called albury1, albury2 , woodbury and latest project queensbury. Even bungalow lot also already developed a lot. It is a green and peaceful place I can said. During weekend, there a lot of outsider cyclist tour around and pass by since it connected to broga and lenggeng. It not an isolated area anymore because further far got lenggeng , broga and etc. There also a small commercial area just completed and maybe wait for CCC i believe since street light already on at night.

Yeah you right for bungalow, the issue are still there especially if you buy land + house construction. However if you bug land only, there is no issue i guess. It just house construction are too slow and paperwork stuff related.

thanks for the update!
i am currently taking a look at some houses here (queensbury/woodbury)
Having heard that eco majestic & setia eco hill have alot of pollution problem (burnt plastic/rubber smell & chicken manure smell at night), made me look further away.

Am wondering is mahkota hills queensbury & woodbury area are also affected by this pollution? (since the distance is just several km from the industrial area)

No at all. we are save here. The only cons was to anyone who intend to live here should have a strong will in term of travelling to the job in daily basis + to avoid peak/rush hour traffic at batu9 or sg ramal. However those who work near nilai or seremban was the best to stay here.

Any project from UMland in mahkota hills after woodsbury?

any plan already for shoplots around queensbury/woodsbury? (not the albury shoplots)

Currently they are launching queensbury in here. Other than that, none

the unit at queensbury is quite NICE and woodbury residents are fully occupied..
still thinking whether to proceed for loan or not..
Btw im working in Putrajaya

What is the possibility of train extended to Semenyih place, i wonder?

To be honest, RM 20K for a proper bungalow lot of 4000 sqft in that area is a bit of a stretch even in the 90s. Unless you are talking about the late 90s in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis.

Yeah, i heard that too. Guess it's kind of risky dealing with small unknown developer.

Can try submit demand or petition to local MP.

This is bad. Has it been resolved since?
