The 466 sqft show unit is based on the Liberty Tower New York theme... The other two which is the duplex and 2 bedrooms units are iSuites show unit.. U need to go after launching to view the 466 sqft show unit...

What is Pipu?

I dunno what theory is this.. But i-Suite is also sold to the public.. common area serviced by Best Western only.. Technically, the owner also either rent it out or for own stay... same like Liberty Tower... This is not Best Western Hotel. Best Western Hotel is at the other side, behind the Jewel (now i-Gallery). At least i-Suite common area will be maintained like hotel.. nice and clean.. I think the reason Liberty Tower was so successful is because they promote it well.. And the New York theme concept excite everybody before the showroom even up.. They have collected cheques during the property exhibition.. And that is why i-Suite sales was slower because the launching of Liberty Tower is so near and everybody wanted to see what is the so-called New York theme design... For me, if you strip of all the moveable deco, which will not be included in the house, the unit doesn't looks anything like New York at all.. I would say too much hype, a bit disappointing at the end..

If I am not mistaken, it should be like this..

Let say the unit is 400K. 10% is 40K. The developer will give 7% rebate (of 400K, which is 28K). And you pay 5K for booking. So, 40K (10%) - 28K (7% rebate) - 5K (Booking) = 7K (you need to pay when signing SPA).

If you sign SPA within 21 days, you will get a 2% rebate, which in this example, is 8K (a cheque issued to buyer).

Upon vacant possession (not sure whether it is vacant possession or start piling), you will get another 2% rebate, which is another 8K in this example (a cheque will be issued to buyer).

This is what I heard from SA.

SPA Legal borne by Developer. SPA stamp duty (or more precisely MOT) is bear by buyer. Loan legal agreement and loan stamp duty will be bear by buyer too. I am not sure what is the panel bank for Liberty Tower.

As for i-Suite, you need to pay 5K for booking and another 4K upon signing SPA. The remainder of the 10% will be rebate by developer. For example, if the unit is 400K, you just need to pay 5K (booking) + 4K (upon signing SPA). The remainder 31K (remainder of the initial 10%) will be rebate by Developer. The SPA legal will be borne by Developer. SPA stamp duty, loan legal fee & loan stamp duty will be bear by buyer. Upon vacant possession, 2% will be rebate to buyer (in this example is 8k).

If you applied loan through the panel bank, Al-Rajhi Bank, there is an option called Zero-Entry-Cost (ZEC), which you can apply for. If approved, the bank will absorb the loan legal fee and loan stamp duty fee.

According to Al-Rajhi officer, it won't absorb into loan. The bank will just bear, it seems.

Normally the rebate will minus off you 10% down payment. It hardly can be part of loan unless the rebate is more than 10% or borrow more than 90%.

LRT 3 is just another plus factor. Most important is the mall, office and higher education must be successful.

iSuite smallest unit is 566 sqft and Liberty Tower is 466 sqft la.. not the other way round... And iSuite higher unit per sqft is a bit cheaper (like rm10) than Liberty Tower below 20th floor. And Liberty Tower high unit per sqft is definitely more expensive than iSuite la.. People opt for LT because the marketing is excellence... Looking at the showroom, if you remove all the bicycle, photo frame, fridge magnet.. it looks nothing like New York.. And for Paris, how does it supposed to look like? I feel it is the moveable deco that looks New York.. if plain units looks normal only.. Unless they got fire place and the wall is bare brick without cement.. like PJ Trade Center.. then it looks NY...

What X-factor?

I think The Jewel will be in 2020 la.. at that time sure 1500 psqft lo..

Then where is it located?

Alliance Bank DSR how much?

I hopes they do better with Parisian.. Coz I expect more than just colour tone to depict the whole Parisian theme.. For me, the Liberty Tower doesn't really reflect NY...

Below 5K? Below 10K? Below 15K?
Allowance counted as full? Or just a portion (let say 50%-90%) of monthly nett salary?

Which is not included when you get your unit..LOL!!

Basically, it can be a managed-hotel, wholly-owned or franchise. Managed-hotel means the developer/owner owns the building, they get hotel operator like Hilton to come in to manage on a contract for x years. Contract can be renewed as long as owner/hotel operator agreed and hotel maintains its requirement to qualify under the brandname. Each brandname like Hilton,Conrad, DoubleTree had its own standard that the hotel need to fullfill in order to qualify to be under that brandname.

Wholly-owned hotel is hotel which is wholly-owned by hotel operators. Franchise hotel is building developer/owner can get a franchise from hotel operator but do not need to fully adhere to their brandname requirement. But they get to name their hotel under that brandname, in order to attract customer. The management is under the owner. This is what I understand.
