Haha yeah, the lift at Ameera looked so much better than Five Stones Attached images are for your viewing pleasure. WOTP will definitely be classier since it's x3 more expensive

It's looking really good, and it looks like they have started to plant the trees early so that when VP, it will look quite lush, good stuff.

Yeap, that's right, variations are better than just having repeated patterns, and it will definitely look pleasing to the eyes.

It will be very windy in those corridors, but let's hope when it rains it doesn't flood the corridors!

Very nice, can spot the CKOA DNA here, very similar with Five Stones The good thing is that they are planting the trees now, by VP, it will be very lush. Can't wait to see

Wah, BMW of elevator lifts! Nice touch, if this project was in PJ, the price would've doubled

Free maintenance? Make sure the first year SDB has contributed with enough funds so when takeover by JMB, you don't have zero in the balance sheet!

Car park (and aircond ledge) is part of the parcel sqft counted towards the monthly maintenance since day 1. This is the same with Ameera, even after JMB took over. Ameera has been on 20 cents psf but I think this year will raise to 22 cents.

How much is the estimated maintenance charges for WOTP?

Can't check my SPA now but I remember clearly that you do pay maintenance for the built-up as well as the car park. At least for SDB's properties.

I wouldn't recommend the usage of SDB host to do your renovation, unless of course you are overseas and nobody can help you do it, or you just don't wanna care and let them do everything.

From my experience they are quite slow because there are many owners who opt for this, but generally you can get the same stuff outside cheaper by 20-30%. Economies of scale don't exist here lol.

All these sandy beach, water gym, crazy colors, are all pure gimmick. Same with the Verve Suites, it may appear to be "in trend" but give it a few years the novelty factor will probably wear out.

Always better to stick to timeless designs and features, and art sculptures that adds class to one's place.

Block C does look a bit lonely lol

I really like KASB's products, they also supplied the lanai louvered windows for Ameera and Five Stones as well. After about 5 years now, the lanai windows are still functioning pretty good. It's damn sturdy and the quality is !

So it's good to see that SDB will continue to use them in WOTP

Yeap, you'll need a big crane to move them into place.

Can see a lot of similarities between Five Stones and WOTP, they are using a lot of the same species of plants. The grass is pearl grass, the same with Five stones. It grows flat and creeps nicely, whereas cow grass points upwards. The pearl grass does give it a very lush look.

As for the appliances, again the same given! The hob, hood, and oven by Electrolux are all entry level modles. I didn't like them and wanted to swapped them with my own choice of appliances.

Btw, the club house with the brickwork looks really good. Would love to visit WOTP once it's completed

About 80 units remaining (sized from 1,792 Sqft, 2,095 sqft & 2,497 sqft), priced from RM1.0m – RM1.4m exclusive of 8% rebates. That's quite a lot of stock !
