Subsequent phases although with smaller podium but also have less towers...hope they will come up with interesting design becoz of its height, foresta is quite visible from 360 degrees

Latest update...

Already need to pay monthly maintenance fee for the 14xx unit at RM0.25 psf at RM350 still need to pay some more?

How come no such thing mentionbefore we sign S&P?

Is it not developer duty to maintain the forest which is not under the master title of phase 1 as previously represented to the buyers. If it is not common property under the Building & Common Property Act, do they have the legal right to charge?

Let's fight...

For public area since owner have paying the cukai pintu dan cukai tanah the cost should inclusive all the maintenance for infra & environment. 
But if during the construction for the entire project the forest have not handover to MBPJ as public area it should under developer maintenance.
As it is still private property and it should under developer own cost to maintain the forest than it is make sense.

By the way, looking at 1 of the pictures, why the balcony is concrete design instead of full glass panel? 

Yup that is the part I was referring to. I might drop by this weekend to have a closer look ..

Do update us with your findings ya...

Investment n rental value depends on lots of factors of the project itself as well as vs its competitors catering to the same clientele group. Location, amenities, local demographics, rental n subsale price, demand vs supply etc. Size is only one factor

For foresta, 928 units of 3 rooms family size. So bachelor, single expat, just married couple n those without 3k budget etc are ruled out. Unlikely to be cash flow positive for late buyers. Hopefully at least 50% own stayers upon 1st year of vp. Perhaps can attract more sri damansara residents or their second generation to switch from intermediate terrace to condo with facilities.

Forsee lower value for block A side facing phase 2 as after vp will be staring at the construction n block D facing highway n west sun

Here a closer look to clarify your query...

means The Zest not empty? Bukit 9 Utama not empty? Armanee Damai not empty? 

how to conclude small size a failure without looking at the big picture? 

Block A & B definitely will be hand over at same time since S&P is signed on same timing too. Block C or D might be later though, as developer would like to avoid LAD, they will hang over even when common facilities not yet complete provided road access & car park is done. Others area to be continue for touch up...just my 2cents.

Yes, total 12 towers. Phase 2 lowest density with 2 towers

For residential land, the authorities control by maximum number of units per acre

For Phase 1, 928 units over about 13 acres so that's about 70 over units per acre

Doubt that the developer will not max max to the maximum units

Maybe Phase 2 will even be higher than the 37 levels of Phase 1 if it's still 8 units per floor to keep the privacy

Not forgetting that Phase 2 land is actually lower than Phase 1

[attachmentid=4008628]

Density is measured by no of units over the size of footprint. Based on below info, total 452 units so not sure about the land size and if its about 50% of phase 1, the density is about the same. Per tower is 226 units. If 226 units over 8 units per floor, that's 28 storey. Plus carpark maybe 3 storey, that would be 31 storey high. But this is duplex so it cannot be (28*2)+4 = 59 storey. So there should be more than 8 units per floor becoz for a 1200 duplex unit, it could be 700 sf lower and 500 sf upper. 
The Foresta Phase 2, consisting two condominium towers of 452 units, has a target gross development value of RM500mil. “The units are between 1,200 sq ft (sf) to 2,000 sf and while we have not finalised the selling price as it will be launched a year from now, we’re estimating a range from RM700 per sf.”

What is the price PSF that existing buyers paid? Can share?
