What cha smokin' dude? 10 mins walk from door to door is not that short?

Actually, that makes sense now. It's probably due to the weed that you didn't notice the cops that's beside the LRT walk path every friggin' night.

Man, now you got to give me that stuff you smokin!

As per above poster, it's Well Known developer vs Lesser Known Developer. Also, one has a future MRT planned vs Existing LRT & KTM. Other comparisons include:

Ekocheras vs Queensville
1. Beside main road vs in the heart of residential areas
2. More expensive vs less expensive
3. Nearer to MRT (estimated 3 to 5 mins) vs further from LRT (10 mins). Both are walking distance.
4. Lower higher to middle higher target audience vs higher middle target audience
5. Lesser accessibility (Timur-Barat, Jln Cheras and MRR2) vs more accessibility (Jln Sg Besi, Timur-Barat, Jln Loke Yew, Jln Cheras & MEX)
6. More jam vs less jam

Different target audience with different price. Overall, for staying, I'd prefer Queensville anytime. For investment, it's anyone's guess.

Delayed to May. Suspect they might not have obtained some of the necessary approval.

Got Tesco Taman Midah, even closer.

Are you referring to the shopping mall? Looks pretty deserted to me.

Went to the office for the 3rd time today. SOHO will be launched in 2 weeks time, i.e. 14-15 June 2014. Price will be out in a week's time.

Also taken some pictures of the show unit. Since someone already provided the pictures, I shall not.

What will be provided is 8 feet kitchen cabinet (entire set including stove), wardrobe (chip board), water heater, 2 X 2 tiles (instead of timber flooring in the showroom). Showroom size looks decent for a couple to live in it, anything more will be crowded IMO. Comes with 1 car park.

Very nicely made video there.

Any more information on the price? It should already be out.


I agree that the price is quite steep. Taking Bayu Tasik as comparison, RM 450k for a 960 sqft unit that translates to RM 470 psf. The Designer's Suite instead costs RM 590 psf. Quite a significant difference indeed.

However, most new developments are priced at that range, and if we take LRT and KTM accessibility into account coupled with the growing activities just across the road, I suppose it could be a mix bag. I wished that they price it at around RM 290k which will make it more reasonable as this is their first project in KL. But I do get a feeling that it will be another BBB project.

Alright, just came back from the sales office. Here's the latest booking as at 4 pm.

Block G is about 75% sold.


Block F is only about 30% sold.



When I walked in, none of the Sales Agent give a damn about me. Didn't manage to ask about the price as they are busy servicing other 'more important' clients. Must be thinking I have no money. Only managed to sneak in a few questions here and there and gathered some info due to overhearing other buyer's conversation.

However, was told prior to the launch today that original price is about RM 360k, after discount of 12% is about RM 320k. Each floor up from the lowest is extra RM 3k. As mentioned by some above, this Designer's Suite is not covered by HDA, though one of the SA claims that the agreement is modeled after the HDA agreement. I took that with a pinch of salt.

There's some free food there too. Not very crowded at about 4 pm, though there were some people.

Loan wise, the best offer is up to 85%, though most people will likely only get up to 80%. This is due to it being a commercial title. So next initial outlay should be about 8% of RM 360k (or whatever pre-discounted price).

From my observation, this is not one of those BBB projects which is understandable as this is SEAL's maiden project in KL. I think if they don't make Queensville a success, they won't be making any inroads into KL's lucrative property market in the near future. Pricing is also a bit steep at RM 320k. Given that Quit Rent, Assessment Tax and utilities will cost significantly more than residential titles, it left me scratching my head whether I should invest.

Also as mentioned by some above, the developer is throwing in a lot of goodies to tempt us to buy. They probably know that if they don't do this, it will be hard for sales to be good.

I've been monitoring this project for some time, and after much thought, I think I'm going to stick with the Service Apartments that will come up in Phase 2 and Phase 3. I believe that residential demand here is strong, given the 30-storey high that's coming up in Phase 3, it should be a local landmark. Will be reserving my bullets for then.

Perhaps some others can give more indepth information on pricing, as all of the SAs there think I'm a poorfag.

Not much unit left in Blk F? What I garnered was completely different, unless by 'not much' you mean less than 80% availability.

The price that you quoted is less than what I got. I was told that RM 360k for purchase price with 12% discount, making it RM 320k for the cheapest units. Or is the price psf you quoted above after discounting?

Just went to Sales Gallery. Still not fully sold out for the Block F and G. Looks like the same number of units sold 1 year ago. Guess they are struggling to sell units out.

Any news on this? Is the Service Apartments launched?

damn slow. due to sales not good as SOHO design is a failure. developer was greedy, so in order to squeeze more profit, they proposed a SOHO concept when market boomed but right after they launched, market turned and now it is super slow mode.

likewise. based on their original sales pitch, all of these are supposed to be up by around 2020, with the service apartment being launched some time in 2015 or 2016 at the latest. but somehow things did not work out for their SOHO, and they have only managed to sell 1.5 blocks of SOHO out of 4. so now everything else affected.

had they launched with only residential, it would have sold like a piece of hot cake. and also, SEAL is not a very reputable developer, don't know why DBKL let them to build.
