Hi All sifu's,

I am new here and just got a unit in block D lvl 17 1600SF, price before discount is 926,100, after discount is 852k ( 532 p/sf ). Will be signing the S&P in a couple of days. Hope i got a good deal here, looking at the comments of the expected 600++ p/sf as mentioned. Nevertheless, i still have to serve the loan as it is w/o DIBS package. Was informed should be around 40 to 50 k by the time of H/O.

Hope to hear some comments here...

Many Thanks and Cheers,

BdSm

Skyvi,

Yup main entrance facing east and balcony facing west . Highly possible own stay, my works and family daily life routine mostly evolves around Sri damansara which i am currently staying too for 13 years. In fact when i went the 1st time which is 2 months back there are only lvl 33a and level 7 with extra compound ( 1600 sf ), which exeed my budget ( approximately 630 to 650 psf ). Din bother to see the smaller which at that time have 3 units too.
Wifey still interested, dun want to give up and went again a month ago and there was only 1 unit of 1600sf left that is lvl 17 which is someone drop it coincidently and the smaller units are only 2. She really like that area,So wifey paid the deposit on the spot w/o my knowledge.

Cheers

Hi Gang Ho,

Tq for the info , glad is a gd deal, my unit is at the other end 17-07. in fact the sales person push very hard on the available smaller unit at lvl 17 which is facing the mechanical room....nt interested in smaller units so never went into discussion on that. It looks like it is at a more lower price for that unit.

Cheers.

CMW123,

Yup you are right, mine is on the other end...17-07...

Cheers

CMW123,

the 1st time we went 2plus month ago was 2 bigger units and 3 smaller units available. the second time my wifey went a month ago..1 bigger unit ( taken by us, this unit was nt available went we went d 1st time which is a salesman ) and 2 smaller units left which was a sales girl Ice Teck. Different sales person. 2nd time the available bigger units was not offered may be taken. I believe different sales person have different unit kept for sales.

Cheers

Tq for the warm welcome.Concept, design & development...spot on that and same goes here on reason to stay..

I guess some have posted here before...traffic build up is from 7.45am till 9.30am and 5.30pm till 7.30pm. Always at the junction to Ldp and comin back is the from toll to BDS junction. M staying in SD area.condos, i only take 5 minute's drive from my place to work at BSD . Occasionally do have meets in KL golden triangle area at 9am, i will leave home at 7.30am and reach around 8.30 to 8.45am using pechala toll. Other than that is just normal and smooth as of now.

I trust most 1st impression include me when going into Type D showroom, is a WOW so spacious nothing like condo but landed house. Type D design implementation is called the industrial minimalist concept, where open space achievement is paramount...thats why the wet and dry kitchen combines in a open concept. This are young and modern trend living preference and taste. With that you will find the entire interior is spacious and tugged in neatly in a corner allowing ample moving space with careful placing of furnitures that flows with the concept. Type D layout is design mend for that concept but if those prefer the conventional segregated wet kitchen from dining is still achievable but need to compromise on the spacious feel.....

When comes to alteration of toilets layout when it is H/O...it will cost a bomb When you start hacking away walls or tiles...the entire floor area will need to re-do the water proofing again with all existing tiles to be removed and re-install if used back or new selection. Piping relocation and etc....

Everyone will have the 1st impression that if the bathtub is next to the full window panel will b good...but bear in mind not all units are facing open areas view some will be noticeable from the other facing buildings & etc. That is why it is place in such a way just a few feet distance from window panels and also the optimal placing of amenities as per the squarish layout to achieve open space movements.
If you op to change it to a ready made jacuzzi set there will be a headrest for you to place your head up to view from that distance which is safe enough to be expose if there is facing buildings. Just like watching a TV from that distance and the view will be nicer rather than next to the window.
Neway i planned to install a concealed TV at the side of the vanity mirror wall and watch TV from the headrest is better. Through experience, after a while you will get fed up watching the outside view from there..

Just my 2 cents thots..

Cheers

If this changes can be done during the construction is the best. But i felt that the developer will not entertain much cos need to re-study and redesign the toilet layout and to get all relevant findings and feasibilities before can approve and also the cost of the new design layout.
Unless if there is quite a number of people in a group request for that with a common selection of the same layout changes...maybe there is a hope. That also include that the group should get a Test fit layout to submit to them on the request placing of amenities changes. This i trust the same with the wet kitchen cabinet area if there is intention to segregate the wet kitchen to enclosed with more practical use cabinets sets.
I will be doing some test fit soon on my Type D layout for the best way to create the kitchen area and island and dining set-up. If there is other Type D owner who interested to have the said exercise where group request for the common kitchen area enclosed to the developer during construction. i don't mind sharing the layout if i can get the best way to do that segregated kitchen test fit layout for the group to make this happen.

Cheers

Same here...block D type D...balcony, master bedroom n bathroom full window panel facing west ( good for sun tanning or natural resources sauna in bathroom ). Another corner of M.bedroom is facing north along with bedroom 2 and bedroom 1 facing east to the opposite Type D units..Just short of another side view of south or we will have 360 deg view.....

Block D unit 07...

Hi jasonV,

Sure no problem...have planned to do so on this coming weeks. Probably in 3 weeks time should get an idea on the layout. will share the layout here by then.

As for the developers..they won't even bothered to care cause they have lock up the budget to the contractors and they won't take the effort to change it as to cause more paper works for them to submit to superiors to review. Normally it requires those developer high position Project directors or managing directors for this to approved for any possible changes.
I guess the only way is to find ways to reach the Project manager and to source out the contractors who are doing the built-ins and to discuss on the changes and also the additional cost to change. Provided the said changes does not effect their handover to developer and also CF process. This if the request is in a group of owners with the common understanding and selection on the same type of changes. That will be more promising if it is in numbers rather than only 1.

Just my 2 cents thots.

Yeah,

Guess you are not staying there...so no worries. As for now your comments is irrelevant. Any more good advise ? Seems like you are a wise guy who know more things than most here been discussing for years.

Please enlighten us here...

As a buyer for this condo, i have no choice but to only take note and probably top up my insurance for the worst as mentioned by you. As far as the procedure and feasibility to tackle hillside construction, their project team have their solution and methodology of leveraging the critical issue. There for as a buyer and S&P signed we are deemed to accept their proposals and measures to complete the said. To even to commence the project there is a lot of approvals and professional body investigation studies who involve for the authority approvals. If there is such critical situation time and time again...i don't think the authority will even allow the project to go on, so is the established developer for their future reputation and other development to be jeopardise.

You are not pouring cold water here..it is already 90 over percent sold unless you want to get sub sales. As a buyer we from day 1 we have deemed to accept whatever comes or complain later if otherwise but for now we are bind to it.

As for your worries on life danger, i don't think this is the right place for you to bring up the matter. Most here are buyers and we can't do anything about it but just wait and see. I don't think we would even want to stop the works since we are committed. You should channel to the right people, ex: authority, house commission board , developer or etc.

No worries, i think if such is the situation it is not only you praying...most here will pray with you though and if it happens the whole world will pray with us.

Just my 2 cents thought
Cheers.

Just to share the perils of having such poor maintenance railings. This happens in Kota damansara.
