46 units starting from RM1.7mil in Semenyih for a 2 storey shophouse is really mind boggling. My friend bought Taipan at Ecohill recently for RM1.8 mil but 3 storey 28x75. Is Ecoworld over pricing their shophouse just because there are good demand for shophouses in this new growth area? Heard Ecohill will also be launching their phase 2 commercial next year, next to Taipan, concept wise similar to that of Setia Walk in Puchong. Maybe they too will revise their pricing if Ecoworld is successful in selling their Brighton.

Longer term, I think commercial got good prospect in Eco Majestic and Ecohill due to the large natural catchment area but with such pricing, are there better bets else where? In fact I am have been looking around for shophouses to invest. I hv checked Seremban 2, Sendayan, Melaka, Rawang, Melaka and now actively Semenyih. Now narrow down to Seremban 2 and Semenyih as both are new growth areas. Unfortunately prices have shot up in the last 12 months.    

What's the size for Brighton? Larger than Ivoris?

if the model is correct, there are two central parking

From very reliable source, yes, it is starting from RM1.7mil. I do not know EM layout well enough to comment but many Ecoworld top guns whom I spoke to seemed to prefer Brighton location to Ivoris. Many of them hv reserved Brighton. I am really sceptical about the yield. Like u, I am only looking at new growth area as it is more affordable and better chance to make a bit more but prices are getting crazy especially from reputable developers.

Would you consider buying Brighton if you are given one? I liked Taipan a lot due to the very cheap entry price and location. Unfortunately, cannot get one. Waiting to see how they price phase 2.

For Plazo, Seremban 2, in fact I went to their sales office on the day of launch, very early in the morning some more like 6am. I saw a long queue for a limited units available. Was told that all units of the 2 main road and residential area fronting rows were all sapu by internal and their associates. My cousin, who has connection in IJM got a unit facing main road at close to RM1 mil per unit. At that time, I thought it was a very high price to pay but now it looks like a steal as I heard from my colleagues who are staying in Seremban, the location of Plazo is superb. I did not get one as I did not bother to stay on as the queue was long.

Looks like demand for shophouses is still hot.

Below the pics are two blocks of white color buildings which to be used for residents parking.

The plots with covered parking are medium cost, don't confuse with Simfoni.

From right to left is Simfoni, Karisma and Harmoni.

Hmm, perhaps below is my small opinion.

On the masterplan, it looks The Ivoris have the upper hand compare to the Brighton, where the Ivoris was located to the exact commcerialized areas, all precincts within EM, neighbourhood of SEH2 and the accessibility of the new LEKAS interchange.

However, I feel both have their own reasons to take a look on.

The Ivoris, looks a grab on before where there are no such pricing of a commercial shop for below 2mil launched in 2014 or even early 2015s. The definition of potential is there due to surrounding suburbs and expectation of the housing area were all min RM 600k onwards, scale to RM 1.2mil averagely of Tenders, before the upcoming potential of current commercial plots next to itself.

The potential is there, but yet to mature and most purchasers would assume and ponders it could be estimated a wait of 5 years from now for potential capital hike and a projected 10 years could be handsome or lucrative payoff where on going projects are tentatively to be matured after 5 years of completion ( Gentlebre, Cradleton, Merrydale, Tenderfields shall be 8 years completed upon 2024 projection )

The Brighton, the 2 rows of the shops with a target segment of low to medium term with panic button "exit", is targetting the future of Gentlebre ( slower pace, due to self built bungalows ), higher end Noblegate ( expected could be semi-ds, or else, mil dollar cluster or superlink / parkhomes ) and mixed it with the crowds of Simfoni, Karisma and Harmoni, thus this cluster would have more occupancies / crowds within 5 years from now and let's taken into consideration that, the folks / crowds from the maturing on Jalan Semenyih / Jalan Kesuma are easily accessible to the Velveton or the area of The Brighton.

IMO, The Ivoris is tend to be greater and outer profit or potential with the longer period to hold, but The Brighton holds the current potential of the mass marketness compare to The Ivoris and falls under the segment of medium term btw 5- 10 years. I expected The Ivoris would be clear cut if the SilverSquare would be successful upon 10 years project and surely, lower entry price compare to Brighton.

If the Brighton purchasers are the quality of The Ivoris holding power, there would be no fire sale and my quick ponder would be are they selectively to choose their tenants or just simply rent out to cover monthly interest? Eloese, if these buyers able to pull on the mass market business, The Brighton would be a success ahead of Ivoris before 2020.

The size of Kwasa Damansara 

If following the tradition, there should be new infra from this landbank to Gutrie / LATAR..

Boss, will u be attending the lantern festival?

For EM and ecosky buyer only i think based on the symbol at the bottom of the pic.

launching soon..

Mellowood launching? Mean show house is almost ready...time to revisit EM... =)

I small penut bro...6C6C je...mana mungkin bro...900k!!

The salesperson told me they are looking at min gross price of rm900k for the cheapest unit. They have not finalised the rebate amount yet. So after the rebate it may drop to a nett price slightly below rm900k (this is just my guess). When i told him, it sounded expensive for an intermediate terrace hse, the salesperson highlighted that the parkhomes has its advantages over a normal terrace hse in terms of safety for children and also every new phase launched, there will be a slight increase in pricing premium. That was how he justified the rm900k price tag. Anyway on 25 oct, Chang khim wah (CEO of Ecomajestic) and the renown Joey Yap will be giving a talk on the uniqueness of Mellowood and this may form the justification of its heftier price tag. For those who wanna know more on how Mellowood stands apart from the previous launches, do make a beeline to the talk held at Ecomajestic sale gallery on 25 October.
