My point was the project is low-mid end did you read my post wrongly? Where did I mention it is on a high end range, in fact I am trying to argue that it is not.
Foreign ppl it is subjective and that is what I presume cause it is a short distance to LRT and that area seems to cater for a lot of bangla etc. with lots of shops around and low end commercial around that area. I also foresee many blacks or those foreign student would rent that place seeing that it is near the LRT and the project is affordable.
Case in point - See casa tiara, a similar level (price wise at least)... it is fill with foreigners from bangla to blacks to Cambodians (those security guards) because of LRT convenience and easy travel to shops and low end commercial area (where they work).
Why would I want to compare highway? I see what I see and the kelana road is one of the most jam pack roads around klang valley. Ara damansara people literally get stuck trying to get to federal highway because of the massive jam there.
Agreed with kimzee, this development was never marketed as high end serviced apartment to begin with
Are you a frequent LRT rider based on your experience ? Have you taken LRT in the morning and observe how many riders are going in the direction of KL city center for work from Subang direction
The maintenance fee can always be raised during future MC meetings if it is deemed insufficient to support the oprations of the facilities and common area, as long as the MC does their job it won't be too much of an issue
Wall - Did you know most projects use brick wall at this kind of range ? and you have to be specific whether it is masonry wall or cavity masonry wall .. if you look at the floor plan of Panorama some units are also 'semi-detached' so sound insulation is not even a major issue here
Roof - Did you know for the last floor unit below rooftop, there is a requirement for heat insulation, hence the usage of metal deck roofing ? since the rooftop only caters to the M&E services access, why the need for excessive decorative feature there ?
Ceiling - have you identified which area is using board and paint first ?
Doors - If it is a fire-rated door, it is fire rated timber and has been fire tested in the lab whether 1/2 hour, 1 hour and so forth. U dont see metal fire rated doors out there for units' entrance have u ? Even for higher end condo they usually laminate another decorative layer just to make it look better
Wall Finish - don't really matter .. some condos dont event provide wall tiles for kitchen .. with the installation kitchen cabinet .. how does it matter whether it's ceramic or porcelain since mainly u're working on the counter top ?btw, could you also enlighten us whats the difference between ceramic and porcelain ?
Floor Finish - If not are you expecting homogenues tiles at this range ? although ceramic is a concern for kitchen as that area is more heavy duty
SMATV - nowadays theres a thing called SMART TV .. you just need internet .. people stream youtubes n netflix more nowadays ?
This condo seems to be at the mid level to me, if you dont mind care to share with us what condo are you living in, what price u paid n what kind of material u got from it ?
In terms of location, would you rather live next to another apartment immediately within stone's throw distance ? The future LRT3 connects to MRT Line 1 which station is at 1Utama, I dont see what the fuss is all about .. Paradigm mall is just a U-turn away .. and if these things (shopping mall, grocery & food stall) are concerns why do rich people like to live in Bukit Tunku where everything is isolated ?
