If directly beside Laguna Residensi but behind GEO sales agllery, then means the land is facing the shoplots or Lagoon Perdana, then the plot of land only few acres, say 5 acres maybe.

If directly beside Lagoon Perdana and next to Kesas highway, the land looks bigger but if not mistaken, the usable land is not high percentage because the land slope to the Klang river.The good of this land would be, one side can overlook USJ 1 Park and another side can overlook LDP Toll Jam every morning or overlooking D'Senza or D'Twist.

Anyhow, it would be an extra dimension if SOHO plus any shop or retail to be build in this area again.

Currently that road in front of Lagoon Perdana is dead end, if not mistaken. D'senza and D'twist is suppose to build as access to connect to this road in their masterplan...if i remember correctly. If they do that, they would actually need to build it under LDP ?

Yes boss.

I saw D'Senza D'Twist masterplan, I also notice the DK is willing to do a road linked from DK area underneath the LDP to the road next to Lagoon Perdana.

But I didnt probe further whether it was only proposed road or confirmed news.

Now, whether his team can deliver those numbers? This is a big question mark. "

I expect it to be around 850-1k per sq ft, according to the board its total units is 384 only. Developer needs to sell it expensive enough to get a decent upside.

*
furnishing a unit should only take 2 months at most. 3.5yrs shld be adequate to complete this. nevertheless, if one can afford 1kpsf for SOXO in sunway, 1-1.5% extra interest is no problem lerr.

Actually, if one can pay 1kpsf for soxo here, why not buy subsale soxo in summer suite which has great airbnb performance but prices are stuck due to soxo etc.

Passedby the site from the front last week. Very very chap area. The flats lagoon perdana is ur immediate neighbor with tonnes of social problems & low end tenants. Shops r very low end too n cars parked all over the place.

Why would students want to rent here for a 1kpsf property when hundreds of condos in south quay remain empty due to its location being far from the college/commercials?

Passedby the site from the front last week. Very very chap area. The flats lagoon perdana is ur immediate neighbor with tonnes of social problems & low end tenants. Shops r very low end too n cars parked all over the place. 

Why would students want to rent here for a 1kpsf property when hundreds of condos in south quay remain empty due to its location being far from the college/commercials?

Understand transport to college will be provided so that little bit distance is not a factor, unlike other condo there, this one will have some retail lots

furnishing a unit should only take 2 months at most. 3.5yrs shld be adequate to complete this. nevertheless, if one can afford 1kpsf for SOXO in sunway, 1-1.5% extra interest is no problem lerr.

Actually, if one can pay 1kpsf for soxo here, why not buy subsale soxo in summer suite which has great airbnb performance but prices are stuck due to soxo etc.

They dont expect you to resell... largely majority of units will go for Uncle James student accommodation and hospitality services - which is a unique package referred by developer to all buyers.

So foreseeable rental demand is there compared to other places with uncertainty of no rental or short-term or varying rental issues.

However, one is adviced to study their ID closely (designed for student needs) and the concepts and then derive the potential rental price that a student would pay in comparison with nearby hostels.

There is a value added service such as Student Van to their universities and colleges.

From what I received Uncle James Hostel started 1n 1999 with one 3-bedroom hostel at Ridzuan. Now they have over 800 rooms averaging above 90% occupancy rate. 99% of their tenants are from referrals.

Regarding the location, in fact it is located in the middle between Sunway Uni and Taylor lakeside. Sunway Monash is a little bit further away but have easy access through South Quay. It is also not far from Sunway Pyramid and Rock Cafe and within walking distance to Jaya Grocer and Sunway Medical Centre.

What about developer reputation? Symphony Life, sounds very familiar.

This project is specifically designed for students. Beside to normal swimming pool, gym and badminton court, the facilities here includes a futsal court and a boxing ring.

In term of location, the Sunway Geo mall, BRT station, elevated walkway, Sunway medical centre is within walking distance. Students in Bandar Sunway also like to use Grabcar to get around and eating place like Rock Cafe and Sunway Pyramid is just 5-10 minutes away.

As for investors, you can appoint UJ Hostel (Uncle James Hostel) to manage your unit. Currently, the market rate charged by UJ Hostel averaging RM900 per bed. In fact the developer also collaborated with UJ Hostel in designing this project. UJ Hostel is a highly reputable hostel service provider and I was told that their occupancy rate is normally above 90%

If you like to know more about this project you can contact me.

Just my personal opinion, union suites will be competing with sunway geo & geolake for the market of student’s rental, and I don’t think union suites will win.

Let’s be very honest, if you’re a student that will be studying around sunway/taylor/help/inti/etc....and you have a choice of sunway geo or union suites, which would you choose?

Bear in mind the culture of the students in these areas are VERY materialistic. They care about the brand, they care about the lan-c factor that they can show off to their peers, especially when the students around these areas comes from rich family. Peer pressure is REAL here.

Union suites location is definitely in the less desirable area of sunway.

Students from sunway/help would just go to sunway geo/geo lake/sunway hostel.

Students from Taylor’s would just go to DK Senza.

Students from inti would just go for the SS15 development that will soon be completed (the one that’s built at Asia cafe, it’s right in front of inti).

So who’s left for union suites? Probably those from lagoon perdana that is looking to upgrade their rented apartment to union suites.

Even if you managed to capture the surrounding students market - how much are you going to charge them? 1k per room? They might as well go to sunway geo.

Charge less than 1k per room? Is it worth ur while since the entry price for union suites is steep?

Honestly, quite hard to say. If already signed, you'd need to evaluate yourself to see what your capabilities are if we're talking about investments here.

Are you better off cutting your losses and cancelling/penalty?

Or are you better off to hold and try the rental market there? Maybe getting a return of 50% from your monthly repayments, 70% return? Nobody really knows as those type of analysis can only be done when we have some data on what the market is going to be.

Or maybe hold on for short-medium term, then try to see what the subsales/market is going to be, etc?

No doubt, union suites has the POTENTIAL to be a good investment like Sunway Geo and the likes around it, but it has those points that I highlighted previously.

Those points are the things that were running through my mind when I was looking at Union Suites, hence why I didn't purchase it. Entry price was too steep, and to get a good return, would need to wait and see what the rental market would be like, and there's some uncertainties and some stiff competition there.

IF I bought Union Suites, can't do anything much about the steep entry price, so I'd probably try to recover as much as I can from the rental. Granted, that will be hard, but can be accomplished by adding more values to the unit (better furnishings, nicer decor, consider all-in-rental including utilities, maybe lower deposit, etc), but this is also dangerous as there are bound to be investors who would go price-war and compete.

IF I were to have bought Union Suites and I want to rent it out, I'd definitely spend some time/money/effort to make it stand out from the other units; there will be investors who will give the bare minimum furnishing and will collect the bare minimum rental that they can, and that is easy (but is it worthwhile?), but I'd go the adding-more-value so I can command higher rental route; because in this area, the culture is that the students will definitely choose something that is more "fancy".

But again, it also depends on how Union Suites will be maintained - considering it is in the less desirable area of Sunway, and you're competing with Sunway (take sunway Geo for example, its really nice, huge swimming pool, "atas" sunway brand, etc). so it's already a negative point from the beginning. Can the owners/JMB later on increase the value of Union Suites by maintaining it well and up-to-par with Sunway's outlook? Or would it fall to Laguna's level? So, IF I bought Union Suites, I'd definitely be very involved in these matters - JMB, committee, trying to ensure that the maintenance and the potential tenants are of quality.

It has potential because it's at the Sunway prime area, but that is a double edged sword. IF Union Suites can become at the same par as other Sunway developments, then it's a huge plus (but then again, Union Suites entry price is really......seriously, you can almost get something in South Quay for the same amount), just that to realize the potential, would take some effort and work.

IF I bought Union Suites, can't do anything much about the steep entry price, so I'd probably try to recover as much as I can from the rental. Granted, that will be hard, but can be accomplished by adding more values to the unit (better furnishings, nicer decor, consider all-in-rental including utilities, maybe lower deposit, etc), but this is also dangerous as there are bound to be investors who would go price-war and compete.

IF I were to have bought Union Suites and I want to rent it out, I'd definitely spend some time/money/effort to make it stand out from the other units; there will be investors who will give the bare minimum furnishing and will collect the bare minimum rental that they can, and that is easy (but is it worthwhile?), but I'd go the adding-more-value so I can command higher rental route; because in this area, the culture is that the students will definitely choose something that is more "fancy".

But again, it also depends on how Union Suites will be maintained - considering it is in the less desirable area of Sunway, and you're competing with Sunway (take sunway Geo for example, its really nice, huge swimming pool, "atas" sunway brand, etc). so it's already a negative point from the beginning. Can the owners/JMB later on increase the value of Union Suites by maintaining it well and up-to-par with Sunway's outlook? Or would it fall to Laguna's level? So, IF I bought Union Suites, I'd definitely be very involved in these matters - JMB, committee, trying to ensure that the maintenance and the potential tenants are of quality.

It has potential because it's at the Sunway prime area, but that is a double edged sword. IF Union Suites can become at the same par as other Sunway developments, then it's a huge plus (but then again, Union Suites entry price is really......seriously, you can almost get something in South Quay for the same amount), just that to realize the potential, would take some effort and work.

Just my personal opinion, union suites will be competing with sunway geo & geolake for the market of student’s rental, and I don’t think union suites will win.

Let’s be very honest, if you’re a student that will be studying around sunway/taylor/help/inti/etc....and you have a choice of sunway geo or union suites, which would you choose?

Bear in mind the culture of the students in these areas are VERY materialistic. They care about the brand, they care about the lan-c factor that they can show off to their peers, especially when the students around these areas comes from rich family. Peer pressure is REAL here.

Union suites location is definitely in the less desirable area of sunway.

Students from sunway/help would just go to sunway geo/geo lake/sunway hostel.

Students from Taylor’s would just go to DK Senza.

Students from inti would just go for the SS15 development that will soon be completed (the one that’s built at Asia cafe, it’s right in front of inti).

So who’s left for union suites? Probably those from lagoon perdana that is looking to upgrade their rented apartment to union suites.

Even if you managed to capture the surrounding students market - how much are you going to charge them? 1k per room? They might as well go to sunway geo.

Charge less than 1k per room? Is it worth ur while since the entry price for union suites is steep?

Doesn’t matter who’s managing it - the main issue will still be that it will compete with sunway geo, sunway hostel, Nadayu, DK Senza, etc.

I’m pretty sure UJ Hostel has rooms at all those developments too, so what’s the pull factor for union suites to attract the students away from those other condos?

Unless UJ Hostel gives a guaranteed rental scheme, then maybe it’s good. Don’t really know how the agreement with UJ Hostel is, so I’m not going to comment on that.

Was looking to buy either for investment or for own stay (trying to take advantage of the HOC campaign & the current low interest %) but couldn’t really find any amazing investment, so I went with an own stay purchase - bought sunway serene.

If the target market is sunway students (and the surrounding uni students), anything with sunway would definitely be more attractive to them. Heck, a bunch of them goes to Sunway Uni just BECAUSE ITS SUNWAY.

You can call it Sunway Bin, Sunway Ghetto, Sunway Circle, etc, they’ll still flock there. It’s the area, the power of the brand, and the fact that the students like to say “I study at sunway, staying at sunway geo”.

Also like the other guy said, the sky loft is not exactly at sunway per say.

Now guys, don’t get me wrong, not saying that Union Suites is a bad investment, it definitely has a lot of potential if properly managed/marketed/etc, just that it’s biggest hurdle in my opinion, is the fact that it will be competing with Sunway/DK Senza/etc

DK Senza/D Latour is around 2.5k per month rental for a 3 bedder duplex. That works to maybe 1k for the master bedroom, and let’s say 750 each for the other 2 rooms.

If union suites are going to compete with that, what’s the rental that you can put? Probably need to undercut the D Latour, to get the Taylor’s students, considering its further away, maybe 750 for a master bedroom?

Subway geo rooms can be rented for maybe 900 for a non-attached toilet room, so union suites might be able to capture some of the students there (let’s assume that we go with 750 for a master room in union suites) provided that the students don’t mind the further distance (I don’t think BRT goes to union suites, correct me if I’m wrong here).

Another thing that is a concern for me - union suites kind of falls in the middle spectrum of things there, generally there’ll be 2 groups of students studying at the sunway area :

a) the rich ones, who are there just because it’s sunway, just because they’ve got money to burn - these groups would probably just go with the fanciest place to rent. DK Senza, D Latour, Sunway Geo, etc.

b) the normal-smart ones, whom mostly come from the middle income family, those who are there because Sunway actually is a good place to study, quality education, but expensive, probably their parents are willing to sacrifice and tighten the belts a little for their kid’s education. They won’t be able to afford 1-2k per month for a room rent, so they’ll probably be around at Lagoon perdana. Or the housing areas around sunway.

So to me, you can’t price union suites rental at Sunway Geo/DK Senza level, because then they might as well just go to those condos....and you can’t price union suites rental at lagoon perdana level because of the steep entry price. That makes balancing the investment tricky.

Don’t forget you have greenfield residence nearby too, it’s not at sunway, but it’s close to one academy, so that’s another uni that might not go for union suites, since greenfield is nearer to them.

Another thing worth noting is that it is quite a far walking distance from union suites to Sunway/Monash uni, not to mentioned it is mostly uncovered (so habis la if rain or super hot sun). You're right about the entry price, it's too steep when you take other rental options that are nearer/have better access to transport/lower rental.

1.2m, depending on whether you take tower A (1st phase, cheaper) or tower B (2nd phase).

Each floor increment 1k, 50 floors in total, so difference in floors would be substantial depending on which floor you choose.

But serene is definitely NOT FOR INVESTMENT. Literally a lot of question marks for sunway serene if you approach it from an investment point of view.

Serene is one, can be considered far from anything for where it is, you can easily get something within the sunway city itself for that price point, and that is much nearer to everything compared to Serene.

Also, serene is built next to the closed WD factory - the future whether serene development would be a huge thing, or just a one condo out of nowhere (like icon city) is anybody’s guess.

Rumours that sunway is taking the WD factory are just rumours - doesn’t help that the it’s an FTZ land, so taking it to build commercial or residential development is going to be harder than normal.

Really, the biggest issue with serene as an investment is that it is just....nowhere. And yet, it has access to all the areas through LDP, Federal, etc.

It’s right smack in the middle of PJ, with access to all the major highway, but that access is only available if you have your own transportation. Heck, if you decide to have a midnight craving at serene, you’d either need to drive out for maybe 10-15 mins or order grab food/foodpanda. You don’t really have the luxury of just going round the corner and you’ll find a mamak/mcd/etc.

And to me, because serene is such an unattractive investment piece....that makes it a very attractive residential/own stay property. Chances of serene getting noisy, rude tenants, air bnbs, unpaid maintenance fees from investors or short-term rental operators, etc are low.

If one is looking for investment property, I’d say maybe look out for subsales deals - pretty sure there’ll be some good deals coming out in the market now. If new projects - if the entry price is good, (possible with rebates, discounts, etc from developer), then go for it. But always compare it with surrounding developments that are already completed, look at how much you can get, etc.

Don’t rush into anything - it’s been a buyers market for a few years now, probably will continue for some time.

Actually location not good as Sunway geo, and walk to BRT a bit distant.
