what product ?

Double storey link 22 * 75
Three storey cluster house 33 * 70 (if I am not mistaken)

Will be landed strata. Prices not confirmed yer

Wahhhh. 3 storey cluster summore ah. Price point could be even higher. Unsure whether it is doable.

Hearsay the current entrance to the show houses will be closed later, to give way to a new entrance that nearer to Silk highway, is that so?

3 storey cluster seems nice....
price 'nice too'

i just wanna ask regarding this strata title parkfield...
i do know there is some pro n cons and also the some rules to be follow..
however i want to know if pet such dog ( German Shepard) allow ?
just going through other forum and stated dogs not allowed,no illegal park or car wash and so on
and the rules are similar toliving in condo..any comments

I think for landed strata, they will allow dogs subject to certain rules that the dog must be leashes, etc. But best u ask before paying any booking fee or signing SPA.

ask for copy of the House Rules first.

Yes, not good news but for the record, Phase 1 was launched from RM720,800 onwards.

Anyway we can forward our views too, 7-inch seems to have gone quiet recently.

RM800k onwards for double storey? Anyway, the earliest batch first row for phase 1 at 700K.

but others row @ phase 1 alr cost RM800k onwards too.
so what is the different?

reported in media, GOSH

Phase 1 after rebate is less than 800k isn't it? i remember is 821k - 3% - 2% = 780k. Now the current 800k most likely is refer to net price after rebate.

In that way it's better to buy the lastest one as it's 5 feet longer plus strata title. And I think 3 storey cluster is not a sell-able product.

In Oct, first two rows will be launched
first at 800k+ before rebate of 5%, i think.

it will be a busy road of 471 units using
this to reach the guard house.
anyway, the new build up and land will be larger
so 60-70k increase is forcasted.

3storey clusters will be furtest from
g/house. and those facing linear park
will cost more too.

Ready your 20k cheque lah.

Prelaunch was RM690k after rebate..

Am eager to see what is the market response for a 3 storey cluster, which is something new to the market.

hope for the best !!!

Anyone got update? Tq

update for fairfield? construction is pretty fast.. the back unit done with structure and doing brick work already. then landscape and lake in progress. they have fill in water for lake and now doing the landscaping.

tomorrow i post ok.. later i go take..

Sorry, I mean update for phase 2. By the way we look forward yr site photo, show unit for phase 2 may be up already

2 rows aleady start doing roofing.

Seems like the row facing the main road (earliest batch) is the slowest in progress?

Heaed Phase 2 will be 850k onward

before or after rebate?

Nice landscaping. 850k should be after rebate given its bigger size & strata title. If 850k is the price before rebates then sure BBB

vry fast progress
can c roofing too
are they rushing to finish it b4 kena high construction cost due to GST

I heard from SA 850k onward, shld be after rebate coz phase 1 latest price is already 780k after rebate, somemore phase 2 bigger land size

what is the size and b/u for RM850k ph2?..is this development G&G or F&G?

I think I saw you coming in around 6:30pm.

Nice photos.

The preview of Phase 2 is coming very soon. Stay tune!

The BU size is slightly bigger than phase 1 DSL, not confirm yet according to SA, the clusters is 1 mil + onward

Thanks for the update pics. Plan to re-visit one fine sunday. Hope they open the access from Kajang2 roundabout. Access from jln Reko is not very "nice" when bringing guest to see the project.

Access from K2 roundabout is open, last time I used about 4-weeks ago.

The Phrase 1 double sty too small for this area- semenyih. 3 sty is more decent.

Hong Leong bank have empanel phase 2. Looks like launching soon

got notice for 2nd draw down payment, need to pay in 1 month, very fast.
2nd draw down should be 15%, 10% by me and 5% by bank since I got 70% loan, anyone can tell me is it i have to settle my 10% first before bank will disburse their 5% portion?

Yes, you have to settle the 10 % first, if not bank wont release the 5 %..

Thank you.

Nice Pics, how's the sales so far? corner and end lots are still available?

i thought phase 2 in booklet is market square surrounded by office tower/condo?

so fast u got phase 2 booklet alr?
sometimes launch houses 1st better than commercial
without population, commercial wont grow.

TH has changed all its sign board along Grand Saga Highway and Kajang Town

Says Parkfield, 2-storey Link House and 3-storey Cluster House

Freehold and Gated and Guarded

Strata or individual title?

could be strata
another new benchmark price in Kajang

Phase 2 is Strata Title

Gated & Guarded... I wonder how's the concept will be

May consider if strata

Phase 2 : Parkfields Residences had kick started! Pre-booking had begun!

Product Type
Freehold
Strata Title
2 Sty Link : 22 x 75 (4 Bedrooms)
3 Sty Cluster Semi Dee : 33 x 70 (5+1 Bedrooms)

7inch, is the showroom open during the long weekend

Yes. Opened 7 days a week. 365 days in a year.

What I mean is showroom for Phase 2 can be views over long weekend

You mean show unit Phase 2?

No show units available for Phase 2 yet. Show units will be available in 2nd Quarter 2015 in conjuction of opening of Tropicana Heights Property Gallery @ Recreational Hub. Floor plans and site plan are available for viewing and details understanding.

what is the price for both type?
what is the early bird discount
package?

$8XXK onwards
$1.2M onwards

Package wise are sensitive to post out. I suggest to make haste and visit Tropicana Heights sales office for more info. Can't post much otherwise moderator will force lock this thread. Tips had been given. For more interested purchaser I suggest bring cheque book along.

Pre-booking only for cheque. Amount 10K.

Seems that this phase is "easier entry" than ph1..

22x75 is a good buy for 2nd phase. 8xxk entry level at phase 1 will have a challenging time if they are speculators.

For pre booking people bro... Once official launch... They might revise the booking amount.

Different ball game already. Phase 1 is Individual Title. Phase 2 is Strata Title.

Wow, exciting time next few weeks ahead.
Kajang people have buying power for such
price?. Do not under estimate them as phase 1
is selling fast after launched in Feb.

Looks like strata title is the " essential"
of any new landed projects. However must
pay higher maintainance fees.

Who is the competitor now?
kajang East
Eco Majestic
Eco Hill
Southvillie city
Greenview heights
Ttdi.
Jade hill

but I think Tropicana is for Kajang
second generation, and has its class
of its own.

just watch

Nadayu 92 right before TH

Wow.

Sounds a huge rebates will be given compare to Phase 1?

Nah...I don't think they'll upset the phase 1 owners. 7inch had mentioned its Strata title and different game.

Was told Jade Hills also restrategizing to launch superlink for newer phase.

Guess some highend development also changing ball game.

Sometimes hard to say...

A lot taikorsss also predicted The Rainz sure give good discount, approx. 7%, to 8% and not surprise if up to 10%. Mana tau end up 17% discount....

Yes, if strata title, it's 3 years development, hence the progressive interest is slightly 1-2% higher than individual title's 2 years development, so the cost can be higher.

diff ball game, ppl missed phase 1 got chance

Ba-na-na power this development for sure

Provoke....hehe

Kinda miss him actually. Wonder how is he doing at other development thread...hehe

Nadayu 92 three storey 25 x 75 selling at 930k with 3700 sqft GnG, overall environment and landscape not bad too and some more come with sport facilities. Interest to see the market respond if tropicana price for 2 storey 22 x 75 close to 850k

If its only RM850K was 22 * 75 and truly G&G Project via Strata, it means that TH is saying SCREW YOU to
buyers of Phase 1

If u browse the OSK Cyberjaya Project, Pangeea or something like that, you can see that OSK also mislead their early buyers, promising only Phase 1 is Condos, Phase 2 etc is "Hotel and Office Suites" and with Shopping Mall, etc but Hotel and Office Suites was cancelled and replaced with more condo units

They Organised a FB Campaign and the Developer arranged a meeting to explain to angry buyers last week and another meeting is expected.

I think we should also do something cos average price unit was RM820K before rebates (save for early birds at RM720K) . Even after rebate at RM780K, with the new property only at RM850K say after rebate, the price increase is not BIG ENOUGH and we will lose out a lot in the long run

If the RM850K is after rebate, our A55 will even be be opened more.

Anything less than RM900K after rebate will mean that TH does not appreciate the support of the Phase 1 buyers.


Phase 1 buyers was told that Phase 1 was the ONLY LINK HOUSE PROJECT and all subsequent Phase will be Detached Houses (Semi-D), Bungalows and Highrise.

To add- Nadayu 92 is current pricing, Developers always launch Future Pricing

Hey...that's me..hehe...

Dear All Buyers of Tropicana Heights.

I have drafted a Letter of Demand to Tropicana Corporation airing our views on Parkfield

It cannot be denied that many (if not all of us) were told that Phase 1 was the only Link-house development and subsequent launches will be Semi-D, Cluster Houses, Bungalows, etc

Launching Parkfield an an market price not much higher that Fairfield will hurt us in the mid to long run

Parkfield is also a true G&G Project and this could mean eventually, Fairfield will not have security anymore, thus even hurting our market value more

What Tropicana is doing is not illegal but certainly immoral, to screw the early supporters.

I wish to post the Letter, for all of you to edit / add but can I request for someone to take the next step, to either send to Tropicana or set up some FB campaign to get their attention




Most of us cannot afford another unit so soon.

Letter of Demand to Tropicana for your further actions. I do hope that someone can take the lead and compile name of Purchasers to be send to Tropicana.

I just don't have the time but at least I help to draft a simple letter. So am hoping for someone to take the next step to protect our mutual interest.

“To the Management of Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”)

We as named below are the Purchasers of Phase 1 of Tropicana Heights also known as Fairfield.

To recapitulate, Fairfield comprises of Link-houses measuring an average of 22’ * 70’ in a Landed Individual Title development.

Through our various visits to your Sales Gallery such as during your Official Sales Launch and thereafter and through our various interactions with your various Sales Staff, we were informed as follows:

(a) Phase 1 of Tropicana Heights, also known as Fairfield will be the ONLY LINK-HOUSE development in Tropicana Heights
(b) Subsequent Phases will comprise only of Detached Houses such as Semi-Detached Houses, Cluster Houses, Bungalows and Highrise Condominiums
© Fairfield represents a “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” opportunity to own a link house in the Tropicana Heights development

Hence, when it came as a big shock and disappointment when we saw the banners of Phase 2 of Tropicana Heights also known as Parkfield which comprises of:

(a) Link-Houses measuring 22 * 75; and
(b) 3-Storey Cluster Houses;

in a Gated and Guarded Development. Some of the Purchasers below have made enquires to your Sales Office and was informed that Parkfield will be a “Landed Strata Title development” and will be a truly “Gated and Guarded Development”

We feel shortchanged and cheated as:

(a) Tropicana has deviated from its earlier promise that Fairfield would be the only link-houses in Tropicana Heights development

(b) Phase 2 as a truly “Gated and Guarded” development under “Landed Strata Title” development is superior to Fairfield which is only “Fence and Guarded” as it is not a Strata Development..

© The Size of Parlkfield of 22’ * 75’ is much superior to Fairfield of 22’ * 70’ and will once again cause the Market Value of Fairfield to suffer

(d) From our understanding, the indicative launch price of Parkfield is only at a 5% premium to the average prices paid by us. This will even depress the future market price of Fairfield.

(e) If the Purchasers were told that Parkfield will be launched in less than 12-months and with superior features, many of us would held back our purchase of Fairfield and would have opted to purchase Parkfield instead. However, most of us cannot afford to purchase an additional property so soon.

(f) Tropicana had a good track record of enhancing the market value of the property its previous purchasers / launches. Hence, what Tropicana is currently doing for Fairfield and Parkfield is deeply shocking and disappointing.


We demand the following:

(a) that Tropicana scrap the future launches of any link-houses in Tropicana Heights so that Fairfield will be the only link-house development in Tropicana Heights. This was what was promised your various Sales Staff


(b) If Tropicana is unwilling to scrap the launches of future link-houses, we propose that Tropicana compensate the buyers of Fairfield for loss of the future market value of our properties by giving an additional rebate of ten percent (10%) from the Sales and Purchase Agreement price for our various units.

We look forward to a favourable response from you soonest possible



Name of Purchaser(s) / Unit No.”

i can't login to FB now from work, but i am definitely gonna be part of this letter! Agree!! If Tropicana is going ahead with it's plan for launching the link-houses for Phase 2, Parkfield, we should be compensated reasonably at a minimum of additional 10% rebate!!

How about if we all PM our details to you so that you could compile the list to be inserted into the letter?

Great job! Count me in!

In fact only the 22 x 70 DSL suffer but not the 24 x 70 three storey. Coz the 3 storey priced at 950 minus 5% which is about 900k. It still look good compare with phase 2 850k 22 x 75. In fact 3 storey was a good buy coz the gap with 2 storey isn't that big.

I think you guys too fast jump to conclusion without seeing the Phase 2 site plan, built up and features.

I visited the Fairfield show units months ago which I also have a copy of Fairfield brochure and TH development brochure. Its stated "FUTURE DEVELOPMENT" without indicating the type of products available.

If blame also, I would blame on the visual on Phase 2 that looks very similar like Semi Dee which prepared by their "Marketing" people.

Yesterday I visit again on TH site office and learn about Phase 2 features. Its totally different. All I can say is, Phase 1 is definitely a good buy. If you don't believe, go and ask the sales persons that deal with you.

Sometimes we can't blame the sales persons. They just follow the information that given to them. It's just like you blaming the soldiers for war instead of the person that instruct them for war.

If i recall correctly, i thought the price of pre-prelaunch was below rm700k net for DSL. They quietly opened for booking and informed previous Tropicana buyers. These buyers may not complain as they went in low.

Yes, pre-launch closer to main road was closer to RM700K only but was sold out very quickly

I would say Average price for the 2-storey is closer to RM820K before rebates - net is about RM780K

Now Phase 2 is saying before rebate of RM850K only. So after rebates is ???

Bro, if we had in B&W that future development was Semi-D, Bungalows, we would have taken this to Court already.

The fact is I and my Wife was told on 3 different occasions by 3- different sales staff that Future sales was only Semi-D, Bungalows, etc and their so-called Plans on the Tables also shows that.

Are u saying that Phase 2 comes with better or worse features compared to Phase 1? I don't think it will be worse, after all, its G&G, suppose to be Landed Strata with better management of Security, Landscapes, etc. Of course, monthly maintenande will be higher but the question, is what is the launch price ?? Just RM30K more means GARPU YOU to previous buyers.

This post has been edited by cfa28: Oct 7 2014, 01:50 PM

You guys can refer here for what happened to OSK Buyers. Similar to our case

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1940261/+1720

Refer post 1730 for quick understanding.

We should do something similar

I thought ph2 850k is only 2 rows? just like what they did to ph1 730k for 2 rows only..

so what is the average price for Phase 2? Unless its closer to RM1 mln many of us in Phase 1 won't be happy...

we shall wait whoever pre-booking buyer got the info
since 7inch gor alr mentioned, pre booking with 10k cheque

any site plan for parkfield?

yes i agree to wait since the soft launched this weekend if the information is correct. the phase 2 first two rows price start from 830k and 850k which will be facing the busiest road and its same strategy as phase 1. so its hike of 100k from the phase 1 which is 720k. i believe The average price for 22*75 would be around 900 plus. apart from that its gate less concept. Not many will like that. there is wall in the middle for intermediate units in between but its a see through wood and u still can just trespass to your neighbor house. U cant have pets i guess since no gate. even though its gated and guarded but have huge amount of limitation. I would still say your phase 1 DSL is still a good buy and its also gonna be fenced(gated) guarded.
let halt the horses for now.

despite being gate less, etc and with higher restrictions, if we were properly informed that Phase 2 will have DSL and at 22 * 75, some of us could have opted to wait for Phase 2.

Instead we (or at least I ) were told that

"Only Phase 1 will have link house. After this All is Cluster, Semi-D & Bungalow"

Even their so-called scale unit shows the rest are not Link-Houses.

This is our (or my and my wifey) biggest grouse.

But lets see what the rest think and decide what to do next.

I still say we should proceed to compile a list of buyers and send the Demand Letter to Tropicana

if most of them agree to go ahead with the petition then i shall follow that as well.. lets hear from others...

I was also told the same thing. Only Phase 1 will have link house, after this all are cluster, semi-d and bungalow! I am looking for DSL house, and if i know that Phase 2 will have link houses, i will surely wait for phase 2 and not buy the phase 1. I say we still go ahead to send the Demand Letter to Tropicana.

Dirty strategy perhaps to sell the link houses? Craps la...I was waiting for their semi ds..

thats why not to draw conclusion that soon yet.. need to get more info from Trop.

No matter how those who bought at 821k (land 20x70 BU: 2135) with 5% & 8k package still "RUGI" if compared to the new double story link if the price is set au 850K.

Sorry, actually how u guys compensate the word of rugi in this case if Phase 2 is Strata title landed and only RM 30-50k increased? Its not decreased anyway.

Did u guys check the actual location of Phase 2 vs Phase 1 and price versa built up on both? Though the 22x70 built up is small at 2135 sf, but what is the built up for Phase 2?

If everything is merely a word from SA but not tabled properly on black & white or photo of masterplan whih without future link house, then it would be tough to sought an explanation from Tropicana.

Wahhh, min 1mil means 150k increased?

At the end of the day, u only unhappy with the pricing not merely that upcoming phase is DsTH?

Btw, u must be also aware that Strata title is 3 years project and required higher progressive interest compare to 2 years individual title project.

If they sell at 1mil but no buyers buy, also no point what, bro.

Perhaps check more with Tropicana and lets understand more.

Ask yourself this question. If you were told that had Phase 2 will be a true G&G Project, under Strata and 22 * 75 and assuming same build-up but selling at just RM50K more, would u have waited or proceeded with Phase 1.

I would have waited for sure and perhaps I would have even agreed to pre-book by giving RM10K on the spot.

But I was told it was only Cluster Homes, Semi-D which I am not keen on.

Now, we talk about Capital Value.

Everyone hopes that the Capital Value of their Homes will increase and How developers do is by pricing every subsequent launch at a reasonable premium to the previous launch.

So, what is reasonable and expected?

< 5% is a total waste of time and is as good as negative return since real inflation is about say 5% to 6% and Interest Rate is also at around 5%

5% to 10% - After less out Inflation / Interest rate, the net returns is only similar to FD. Might as well put in FD which does not have any risk at all

10% to 15% - this is the min expected premium that the market demands

15% to 20% - good news for early birds

Now, its Tropicana Fault for launching Phase 2 so soon to Phase 1. They should have launched in 2016 when VP for Phase 1 is around the corner. Thus a premium of 15% to 20% is deemed reasonable

But since they launch so close, the Phase 1 buyers will still expect a premium of between 10% to 15%

So Phase 2 22 * 75 should cost RM820K * 1.15 = RM943K + additional RM50K for the 5 feet of Land = RM993K before rebates.

Then buyers of Phase 1 can be considere as Tak Rugi but we were still mislead and there should be some form of compensation for that.
