Just visited the sales gallery today. According to the agent, initially, there're 2 blocks (block C & D) for sales. But now, blocked D will be reserved for IUKL as 1st-year-student hostel coz its' original hostel will be demolished in near future and that piece of land will be used to build one 4-star-hotel and one service apartment. So, the only one block which is block C available for sales (120 units of normal 1270sft and 40 units of duplex). Price around 550k with possible 5-10% early bird disbursement. Price and discount will only be finalized during launching in June.
Booster would be
1. new IOI city mall
2. De Centrum mall (target completion by 2016)
3. mrt line 2 (uniten station by 2020)
Assume by 2018, rental goes up to 400 per student; one unit can accommodate 8 students;
Monthly rental = ~3200
Maintenance + sinking fund = ~300 (0.23 psf)
S&P price = 500k (assume 10% discount)
Hence, ROI = [(3200-300)*12 / 500,000] * 100 = ~7%
Cash flow = 3200 - 300 -2200 (installment) = 700
Looks like a sound investment eh? What do you guys think?
Not as easy as that. You agent right??
