shouldnt this be phase 3?

care to explain why?

but 600psf is pushing it..kd is doing more than that subsales just fine

if no crash (or slight price correction rather), also wont keep going up lar
there will be a tipping saturation point where market value is reach
already ure seeing certain locations at certain pricing anything above is selling damn slow

perhaps true market forces already at work

anyhoo for interested buyers why not consider the strand residence?
seems much more value for money compared to TG residence
the strand IS walking distance to MRT, believe me as I walk the same distance daily (from rapid kl bus drop off to my house) plus the walkway is safe with many shops in between, unlike some dark alleys elsewhere
and and the strand mall is NICE..granted crowd is low, so its a problem if ure a commi tenant
but for residence point of view its an extremely nice mall

too pricey leh
the strand residence more value!

all can be done even with the strand, at cheaper psf

haha i know, which blows my mind
im speaking as a resident of kd and vested in cascades
but cascades subsale, so not direct comparison
but the strand can get from developer at cheaper psf than TG!

if one can afford it, by all means its worth the premium
judging by all the high priced bashings, im guessing we're mostly not in that lavish category

on the MRT, most would agree as long as its walking distance, its kinda acceptable
and im just chipping in on my personal experience walking the same distance almost daily, its a nice stroll
can easily stop by for dinner/coffee at the MANY options of f&b in the area on the way back to the strand residence

hold ya horses guys..this ICONIC mall title deserves some reservation..whats the track record? TCM?
im hearing so many tropicana commies..avenuelah..grandelah..metropark lah..not really sold on them
judging from their pricing screwup, its more proven they can get things wrong!

on one hand i hear concern on noises from TG f&b alfresco late operations & mrt noise
u wont get that at the strand
and a view is a view..as long as youre not facing another block with no privacy, a view of KD is magnificent
with the strand, ure guaranteed to not have future buildings blocking your view

suria klcc comparison is weak as u dont have residence there
even if there are, the same argument applies, for those can lavishly afford go for klcc la
but if complaint high priced and still wanna piece of the action, avenue k la

also casa indah is not direct comparison as its upper mid range
whereas TG, the strand & cascades is on the higher end range

just my 2 cents for the sake of discussion
not an encorp agent here..also slight worry that felda bought over encorp

totally agreed on very little upside at 1100psf..and this is coming from a KD-loving fella
casa is awesome but it wont be a bargain as owners will definitely sell at above market price value
bear in mind those fronting persiaran surian will face mrt noise, minus those blocks facing each other, ure left with one side of optimum view and those will cost u a premium
if casa valuation goes up further, i dont see how the likes of cascades & strand will not follow suit

not really comparing to midvalley as this thread on TG, so just comparing nearby

actually not sure their pricing now haha..but cheaper than TG for sure lah
mall poor performing bad for retails..but as resident, i think u would find u have most things at the strand
and who knows, maybe all neighbourhood malls can only perform like the strand..we'll see what uptown DU and DJ mall will turn out..but agree la strand mall management sucks..but its a super nice mall..perhaps a new mangement team can turn it around..now theres another upside..also when cascades office and strand garden office tenanted, the strand mall is bound to do better

curious
whats the appeal on grande?

location for realz?
anyhoo whats the occupancy rate there now
its all big sizes, doubt many genuine own stayers can afford

where is this new sunway mall?
driving range there?

sounds like sofo/sovo coming
doubt they dare build pure office looking at supply of cascades office and encorp garden office

but that one i bet confirm ALL investors/speculators
almost minimal ownstay

nexis should benefit from the future MRT foot traffic

while cascades retail full potential solely depends on the success its corporate office tower and the strand garden office next door..but hard to see tenants moving in now, especially with MRT works congestion (combined with KV office oversupply)

upon MRT completion, things are bound to pick up for the offices, tho most likely still a poor return for the office towers
but cascades retail has lotsa potential..the 2 development offices has ALOT of potential catchment workers

yeah man a mall from sunway is gonna overkill the already super competitive mall market
but perhaps they can differentiate themselves more (example digital mall)
i have a feeling they'll end up doing an open air pseudo mall like giza & nexis

haha then a mall by sunway would a lose-lose situation for all!
