I find it a bit strange why Skyworld doesn't want to include some of the larger family-sized units facing south towards KL and put most of them facing north towards Batu Caves.

The only reason I can think of is that their redevelopment plans for the flats (if it can proceed) may block the south-facing units of this project.

Same thought here, maybe they were too confident on the redevelopment plan and didn't expect situation getting complicated after new government in..

I am keen on the smaller unit, so if redevelopment plan off, might be a good for me, maybe

Hi, is this project still selling?

Yep, still selling and I believe that there are still available units in Block A. Block B will be targeted to launch by next year, according to the sales staff I liaised with previously.

I used to play football on that field (It was a field before) and I think the reason they did this is due to the shape of the land. It's wider on one side than the other which means it would be difficult to put the bigger units on the narrower part.

Block A almost sold out. Sales have picked up now that Circle line cancelled (funny eh??)

People are flocking to buy projects that already have ready public transport rather than prospective buying other projects that only have public transport planned. Apparently, that's the pattern all over Klang Valley since circle line project cancel according to my real estate agent friends (dunno how true la tbh)

Average buyer no longer trust planned public transport projects. I think prices also naik already for projects along ready public transport (LRT,MRT,kommuter etc) due to the increased demand. (Again this is according to what my agent friends say la..dunno if true or not)

Either way IMO prospective buying is risky la. If you got the capital then no issues la either way.

Early last month, the sales staff there msg me that the booking fee have been revised to RM 1,500 from RM 8,000 with the sales package and SPA price remaining the same.

Not sure if there was a revision to its current sales package of 6% + 2% rebates, tho, based on the take up rate you mentioned.

But they do plan to launch Block B sometime early next year, so not surprised if they might be offering more rebates for the current block to get as many units booked/sold as possible.

No revision to sales package. Got info from a friend that went there last week. Could be sticker game also.

Kl normal to have congestion. U stay In Bukit Damansara or Bangsar also u need to go through some congestion. No matter how congested, location still better than maxim area / Jalan Ipoh/Selayang/wangsa maju side condos because got more exit points and options to go out and much nearer to the city centre.

5 km from city centre means no matter how congested u can be in central kl in half an hour even during the super peak period. Plus got public transport to connect you if cannot tahan the jam.

About surrounding area makeup, not so relevant for a condo project. More relevant for a landed property because luxury/premium condo is like bubble anyway. Once u go in, the surrounding area does not matter. Many so called 1 million dollar condos have a lousy surrounding area that is far worse than this but never really affected the value much because inside very nice. I still rather live with blue-collar locals around me than shady rich foreigners. I think I have mentioned that in a previous comment.

Facility and accessibility is king and Meridien both things also seem to be very good. Of course, these are my opinions. To each his/her own.

This is sentul bro.. Later u will see kida from the neighbouring area playing in your swimming pool... Hehehe

Surrounding is also as important as the inside of the condo. Are there any cases of theft that occur in the neighbourhood this project is in? This is because you're talking about squatters at the top and the flats at the bottom made up of folks whose income level is lower than the buyers of this project.

Say if you come back from work late via the LRT or taking your pet out for walks, one should take this into consideration.

See if any of the owners/tenants know anyone living nearby. If most of them don't, then tough luck.

Maybe you can ask the same question for those staying in the YTL condos nearby like Capers, Fennel, Saffron and Tamarind. Don't forget Rafflesia condo as well.

Those capers, fennel different lah cause tight security... Rafflesia maybe... Saffron and Tamarind not surrounded by squatters... jI ust would like to highlight that surrounding is important... like what u said also..

does anyone know how much psf is this project and the sizes pls?

How will be the security for Meridien be different then? It's said to have 4 tier security and it's definitely a class above Rafflesia and seems to be shaping up to be near if not on par with the YTL projects in terms of facilities/security etc (Ascenda project can be used as benchmark..check out the security there).....I'm not saying surrounding area is not important but it's less relevant than landed property. Sentul these days not like Sentul before.

The perfect example to the point I was making in my earlier comment that there are 1 million over condos in worse places like Kerinchi AKA Bangsar South (most overpriced area IMO), absolutely low-income area and ridden with petty crime but is slowly being transformed and yet devs there ask so much more because of the location. I live not far away from Sentul, and crime rates are on par with the rest of KL, which is mid to high. This ain't the Sentul of the 90s anyway.

Btw Walking your dog in Bangsar or Bukit Damansara is not surefire safe as well so it's hard to pin the blame solely on that. These crime fellas don't eat and #&#& in the same place Like an old timer said to me, 'the nearer you are to these areas the less chance of being robbed because they probably live in the same area . '

Not proven but does make u think doesn't it?? Either way, there's no science to safer areas. U can get robbed right next to police station also like what's happening near Danau Kota Uptown market Pondok police on a regular basis and that is a mid-income area. Gated communities are safer...and isn't that what large premium condo projects are anyway? Great discussion btw guys. Love the points mentioned.

Suggest visiting Showroom. They are having an event this weekend I think.

Hahahah, I used to sneak into condos when I was a kid also to 'feel' the pool. But nowadays security tight already.

Kerinchi aka bangsar south ridden w petty crime? Omg

Expensive or not, if there is demand, there will be expensive price.

Look at sentul, so close to kl cbd but what happens to the price? If its so safe n secure, the price would move up at par if not exceeding kampung kerinchi no?

Why is sentul still launching so many affordable homes?

Please enlighten om the many

stange thing is.... sentul forever can only sell affordable products to garner such demand... anything more than affordable and they will just forget about this place... look at most of the mass market projects there... alot sub 500k products... kena sapu also... sentul point more than 2000++ units also can sold alot and UOA tutup sales gallery....

Still want to buy Sakayword developer projects?

Kesian owner of Sakayword properties.
