Yeah, they won't foresee the congestion and build in advance. They wait till they see it then only they improve the infra
Their mentality is Why do first when there's no complain???

Not sure if there are any earthquake codes in Malaysia?

Lol since when this became an 'engineering' discussion. Seems like someone is on the very 'safe' side 

Trust me, I'm an engineer, you can live on units 15 floors and above no need scared die. 

Maybe someone here needs to do a little more reading on civil engineering and building construction and theory before he embarrasses himself further.

For example http://www.ctbuh.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileti...&language=en-GB.

Well my 'theory' is that if you look into the building requirements set by Malaysia, high rise buildings do need to pass simulation and withstand a certain seismic activity even though Malaysia is not really located in the earthquake zone or the Pacific ROF. So yes high rise buildings in Malaysia are safe.

   

just to add on, earthquake or seismic design code is presently unavailable in Malaysia but one can opt to practise AASHTO or Eurocode where deem fit. hence that's how some buildings in KL is already bragging about their seismic resistant design features (tsk tsk especially prominent in SDB's projects).

while engineers have constantly been talking about implementation of a local seismic design code, but in truth, don't think we would witness this happening anytime soon.

btw, seismic design also spread across a few categories.
eg. you want the building core and shell (skeleton only) to remain standing after the quake or you want to include the fittings as well (M&E and architectural inclusive). hence when one says it's seismic resistant, it usually means the former only.

disclaimer: i am definitely not a pro engineer lah.
just a blow water specialist.

all developments if done proper studies should pose no risk and minimal impact with the corrective and preventive measures.
improper developments are the ones that you ought to be worry about irrespective of where they are sited.

so the key word is built in accordance to proper design. 

Opinions please:

Is it good to stay in BJ and work in KLCC?

Let's don't ague who is selling and who is not.
I think all are trying to share some info here.

Whether selling info or info which are just for us to share among.

But i am here surely to intro u guys some properties that are worth to take a look or invest after i personally feel is good. No offense to anyone. Just my opinion.

Anyway will organise a info sharing this saturday.

Drop me a pm if anyone here intend to come.

even the pedestrian from pavilion to the park is somewhere far from skyluxe

look at the left part, so walk direct way is a "no"


when i'm looking at the picture, i think gov shall reserve the green lung between jalil sutera and jalil jaya (shops there) and link it to the current bukit jalil park with awan besar lrt station.

By the way, there is going to be a new road separating the Park from Pavillion, so walking directly to Pavillion from Skyluxe is not possible now due to heavy traffic.

masih boleh. walk to anjung hijau--- at junction turn to treez jalan--- sampai. ini macam saja.

How many people can hold a 700 psf condo for more than 5 years? Less than 1%.

Most buyers of the expensive condos in Bukit Jalil in recent years are flippers because they just can't pay the bank instalment with the low rental once it is completed.

They gave an impression that there are many buyers for own stay but in reality, there will be many vacant units for sale once all these new expensive condos are completed. 

At that time, many will be selling below their purchase price and will start crying.

The only ones laughing are the property agents in this thread who give false info (buy, buy, buy) to potential buyers.

In the past, the price of condos were low so even if there are many high rise condo in the same area, there were still some demand.

But now, the price of condos has doubled or tripled but rental still remains the same. The price of condos will only go down because it has peaked.


There are still property agents here who try to hoodwinked people into buying these low-demand high rise condos like skyluxe. If you buy now, the property price of these high rise condos has a high chance of dropping once it's completed.

Property agents will laugh all the way to the bank while the buyers will cry all the way. [
Another gloomy news, Yuan is dropping so Ringgit will also drop

Hmmm. I think ur comment quite general but not necessary correct for all circumstances bcz all buyers have different financial agenda.

They have no money buy landed, they will find a good condo according to their budget or needs, density of a particular condo is just a general aspect. Most new buyers are prefer new condo or less than 5 yrs but not old condo, there are some also prefer old condo with good track of maintenance or good occupation rates compare to new condo.

For investment or flipping of new condo, its quite gauge bcz u refering today's market. Its actually not only on what high density condo but oso any high price low density condo if market continue to be bad or dropping.

The buyers of RM 800-1000 psf oso a different pool of buyers compare to RM 400-500 psf projects. Whether SkyLuxe is a good buy or not, its their call anyway. We wont know what happen upon its completion in next 4 yrs.

Similar to back in 2008-09 when mini crisis, when ppl bought RM 350-400 psf highrise, ppl said its crazy to buy as such timing for such prices to match landed while at bad economy. What happened in 2012? The market was very good and even these condos did well.

Well, I am not suggesting that this yr is similar to back then or next 4 yrs would be a repeat of such bull run. I only believe its getting very tough. If long term investment, the risk is generally very low. If flip game upon completion, definitely it may cause a major burn but nobody able to guarantee it.

Trace back previously, The Treez was sold at very expensive price back then upon launching. Same goes to KM 1 West, expensive and then KM1 East, huge price point and lastly Twin Arkz, was very high price based on launching time of 2013n due to complete next year.

Haha I don't think his posts are so powerful.

Basically if they cannot carry makan anymore, it's due to the market is already bad.  Nothing much to do with his posts

How u all judge a development whether is it highend, mid-highend and midend.
by facilities? by number of unit? by it density?
Actually it is just agent or developer creating something that buyer feel it is worth to buy.
For me it is simple whatever class of a condo or landed, the classification is base on the type of residence who staying there. For example, just assume if majority resident in a condo are millionair in USD even that is a apartment with no facilities it also a highclass places ma.
Whatever level super higiend, highend, mid-highend and midend just to create an attraction point by developer marketing team.

So, any ideas for the developer financial background?  Track record?

SkyWorld has more than 150 acres coming soon, all in KL. The company has hired alot of talents from various established developers. Those who gone to see them will know.

It is actually the most "surprising" developer due to its unique biz model of privatising government lands.

Another similar player with similar biz model is Maxim Circles Group (Aset Kayamas/Sinerjuta/Era Ecoland/Faber Vista).
