Well,I have no specific answers to your question,no stars rating or guide book but it's just my feeling. Well,I look at the design, the whole concept planning, the facilities and so on. Number 1,it's gonna be the iconic structure of Cheras,for example the capers n fennel of Sentul I consider it high End too. 2nd, the design is very modernish,but this is only assumed from their model. Do you consider the icon residences at mont kiara by mashing to be high end? Yes I do
3rdly, the whole mix development comes with residential,commercial,retail,office,cinema,hotel and so on. So for me it's a self contained development with a gdv around 1billion? My assumptions again,with that kind of money involved,it's another criteria for high end properties. Last but not least the facilities,sky bar sky lounge sky pool it's like whatever facilities that you want it's there(normal requirements), so that ticks another box for me.
Feel free to share other comments if u think otherwise,maybe some will say the selling price doesn't warrant it to be high end,but to me it's just because of location,and consider urself getting an unpolished gem for whoever owns a piece of the cake,maybe im just hypnotizing myself into buying that story,but hey if it makes urself feel better den why not?

Received news that latest price for EkoCheras sold at RM780 psf.

Which block n low, mid or high floor?

Which block n low, mid or high floor?

Block J, 19th Floor, RM773.64psf

Wow... RM 773.64 psf * 762 sf = RM 589.5k 

artificial paper gain nia ..
if got taker at this price today then only considered 

Actually i was also wondering who will be renting a soho 762sf for rm2.3 -2.5K, so small, if want to use for living, can only stay 1 person or the most 2 person, even that not so convenient because there is no room. 
if want to use for office, there is ample office space with is larger than this at this price!

I think the rental these days can't fully cover the loan payment. House pricing has gone up much faster than rental could catch up. We should realise this point.

But with that said,  people are still buying properties. Because people know that it is a way to preserve their wealth.

The reason  I'm betting on EKC is the location plus MRT concept. I believe this is the future trend.

Surely, this will be the centre of gravity in Cheras.

How about Cheras sentral ? Hahaha

This project fully sold out?? Location+MRT is good idea.........Future Trend.....  

Commercial components, concept, facade, mrt, scale of project. Most importantly, location..fronting the busy jln cheras which cannot go wrong unless developer screw up the execution.

I think first impression is usually the lasting impression. We all know what happened to pheonix plaza back then...  It didn't give good impression to public.

As for location,  EKC is much better,  it's nearer to KL,  it has direct access to mrr2,  n easier to make U-turn if you are coming from KL.

but cheras sentral got mrt 1 and mrt 2 wor.
mrt2 direct reach klcc station and no need interchange.

EKC opposite leisure mall got GSC. CS also got TGV.
