i can't find any layout plans for bayu on the net. any leads?
I am very inclined to BAYU tbh and I do not care about the legacy.
cascades is alright if it faces the KD commercial area but yes, when the windows are open, highway noise is mad. the layout also wasn't too impressive, hence i gave that up.
i am now residing in DJ, PJ. I like the area but the condos here are crazy expensive.
Casa Damansara, Jasmin, etc are all at risk with KIDEX so its a no go for me.
Bandar Utama condos are not bad (even Bukit Utama 9 is still RM550 psf but faces KD electrical pylons) but too big and eventuality of price is that it will be high.
i am not looking for brand name. i am looking for a reputable developer. if not, i would have chosen damansara perdana exclusive a long time ago but after viewing and seeing rusty railing, poor workmanship; sorry, not for me
you can try to look through bayu listing on iprop or propwall and check the photos, maybe there'['re some pic of layout there.
but i can tell you, your target of 650k should be 2 bed 1048 sft or so. the layout is square. once you enter the door is the dining, then the living and balcony, then two rooms side by side on one side of the hall. kitchen is next (actually, behind) to dining. there is a kind of pantry opening where you can deliver food from the kitchen into the dining area without having to walk out of the kitchen. unit should have internal hot water piping, i believe master room got bathtub, both room has their own bathroom. when you take the lift and exit lift, you will have two wing, about 4-6 units each wing. to the left is the wing that is closer and face highway. to the right are those facing inside either to MKIS, astana or aman/damai roundabout. those are the nicer facing units.
BU9 it's next to HTC. but good value for money i guess if you want a large size units at good psf. if you are the sort who look at workmanship, i would say there are niggling things i saw at BU9, like a lot of messy cement / masonry works on the outside facade (you can only see it when looking out the window of the units). also the corridor along each floor has a slightly dim feel with lots of views of pillars and such. i would expect better layout and design for that kind of pricing 1.5m , right. besides, for a budget of 1.5-1.8M i still would go for MK, as MK Damai has a far more luxurious feeling than BU9 and has 200+ units only on 8 acres, very low density, with unit size of 2200-2600sft.
