What is the construction progress now? build up to which level already?

The photos of construction progress on the SkyMeridien microsite are still as at 30 September 2019. No update thus far... I passed by the construction site a few weeks ago, still not much (or no) progress can be seen from the outside. It looks the same since a few months ago (meanwhile other properties under construction are already towering). Hopefully they won't rush the construction to meet the deadlines at the expense of quality and safety!

Anyone with inside info?

I have the feeling the sales is not really doing well..
Perhaps any owners here can comment further?

Not so much on rushing to the point of compromising quality but they also have a deadline to meet, which is 48 months from the time the project was launched 2 years back. If the project is completed much later at around 2022, for sure they'll have to pay LAD to those early buyers in Block A.

Progress as of early november

Thanks for the pics.

It looks like it only reached the 2nd floor. Really slow progress from late 2017 until now.

If you want to compare it with the Birch, they've already gone past a few floors dy even though its construction started sometime late last year or early this year.

Only reaching 2nd / 3rd car park floor...? still 30+ floors to go...
Very far behind the schedule.. Are they confident this project can be completed by the deadline which is end of 2021??
Pity the early buyer.. how much interest they gonna to pay...

Try asking that same question to the early buyers of EkoCheras and Vivo @ 9 Seputeh. They managed to get a pretty fat LAD payout from the respective developers.

Wouldn't be surprised if the same case happened in this project if the completion is past their 2021 deadline.

Does it means late completion is in fact good thing coz the buyer can get compensation? LOL
Back to this project.. Actually I LIKE their concept and location..
Not many developers nowadays offer the hot water tank system and Juliet windows for the units..

BILA DEVELOPER LAMBAT SIAP, KITA MENGAMUK? 👿
.
Not for me and my partners. In fact, saya dah share lama dah yang kita view lambat siap sebagai advantage, now dah dapat LAD 5-angka boleh buat modal untuk reno. Lagi lambat siap, lagi banyak LAD, lagi best 🙏💪💪💪

Ini adalah kelebihan besar bila beli hartanah undercon 😆

Is the hot water tank system an advantage tho? I know it looks good as everything is built into the walls/ceiling, so no additional "machine" attached to the wall. But... Isn't it a bit troublesomw to wait for the tank to heat up before Mandi? And... Wouldn't it also take up more electric?

Sorry. Really not familiar with the built in water system. Never used one before.

Hmm.. Honestly i do not know about electricity consumption for hot water tank system... But just like stay in hotel, the hot water is almost instant once you turn on the knob isn't it?

It's up to you how you want to see it.

If you're in no hurry to move in or wanting to rent out the unit upon completion, then the LAD is a bonus.

If you're in a hurry to do the above, then yes, it's a pain to wait until it's completed. You can complain on how slow it is, yada yada yada, but at the end of the day, just be glad that the project is able to be completed (plus getting that LAD) than abandoned. That's the worse case scenario that no buyer would want to go through. I've heard many sad stories from people who bought such projects and how much they regret it.

I'm fine with the progress being what it is. But I think they will try to avoid LAD. after all, they have a full 2 years to complete at this point. Most of the similar projects that launched around the same time have set completion at end 2020. So it has got a year more than those projects.

Being a new and aggressive dev, I don't think they can afford the bad press of a late delivery as they have sort of developed a repo to deliver ahead of time. 2020 gonna be an interesting year for property market haha.

Nowadays no need to wait, Built-in systems are able to generate heat within 10 seconds or so like external heaters.

Current progress as of 2 Dec 2019.

Anyone stay Sentul? Can i can how is the feeling? is it good to stay?

Just take a morning drive around Sentul to get a hang of it. Traffic jam is common at that area, food wise I would say pretty limited, but good thing is that it is close to the city centre.

Can you tell me which part in KL is not traffic jam during the morning working day..?
