Thanks for sharing... Hopefully the show house can be completed soon, really can't visualize the layout of the parkhome now...

20 feet car porch considered as part of the buildup as well?

Is there any rule/guideline dictates that "normally half will be taken on the covered but non-enclosed area"? I am not very sure, just encounter some other developer always bloat the buildup by having a big size balcony...

Not very sure on that.. EW should not only construct the show house, they should pay attention to the linear garden attached to the show house as well, since I believe this is the most important element for Parkhome..

Parkhome show house without the 30 feet linear garden, really a turn down ler... I hope EM can build it, otherwise how to call a "PARKHome"?

Heard that MB Azmin not manage to do the rumah selangorku opening, how's the status now? Delay or the house is already on sale?

Any layout to share?

Of course, but shall the formula "covered but not enclosed equal to 0.5 the build up" valid?

Seems like the piling for the pillar of the interchange in the middle of the Lekas highway is already started..

Everything going smoothly on time...

Currently in Semenyih have 2 chinese primary schools, in future EM shall have another 1 chinese primary school as well. Tenby will be located in Setia Ecohill 1, and there is planning to have a college / university in Setia Ecohill 2. Nottingham uni located in Semenyih as well, from EM / Ecohill takes maybe 5 - 10 minutes.

Tropicana Height is a good project as well, but their land is merely 200 acres, they need to engage with Nadayu and Kajang 2 to form a township.. Nadayu and MKH from my perception may not has so much experience as SP Setia and Ecoworld in township planning, execution and improvement..

From tropicana height till the MRT kajang station should take at least 6-7 minutes even after the flyover to Persiaran Bangi is completed, as need to pass through 3 traffic lights. Of course can choose the alternative route to Kajang Silk then from Kajang silk back to Jalan Reko again, can skip some traffic lights, but the traffic at the junction from Silk till Jalan Reko sometimes can be very jam as well..

From EM to Sungai Kantan station takes around 12 minutes and only have one traffic light in Saujana Impian. Not sure about the fare, but it is 2 stations in front of the terminal kajang station to KL direction. I think from terminal kajang to Sungai Kantan station takes a about 5 minutes, coz need to stop at the bandar kajang station.

International school does attract expatriate and there are more and more parents sending their kid to international school nowadays. If there is no requirement, we won't able to see so much international schools mushrooming in KV.

By the way, the chinese school that EM trying to migrate now is primary or secondary? I thought it is the SRJK Ton Fah Beranang, no?

I presume be it international school or government school, it is a plus point for the housing project nearby. Not many people will buy a house because of international school indeed, but don't think many will buy a property simply there is a government school nearby either. Target market is different of course..

Nevertheless, people prefer to have more choices, the co-existence of government and international school give more choices to different target market and this is the most essential educational element needed for a comprehensive township like EM/Ecohill. Not many housing projects around KV shall have such feature.

Kajang/Semenyih/Bangi doesn't have big industry estate as those in Shah Alam. The major industrial estate for this area is actually located in Bandar Baru Bangi which you can find Sony, Hitachi, Carrier, CCM pharmaceutical, Permanis (Pepsi), Texchem etc...

Is the industrial estate is the sole factor towards to growth of a township? From myself I don't think so. Look at nearby township such as Mahkota Cheras, Sungai Long, Saujana Impian etc, there is no big industrial estate in the vicinity as well.

Most of the people that I know buying Ecohill / EM is for upgrade and many are from the surrounding area such as Cheras, Balakong, Seri Kembangan or even local Semenyih people as well. Most of them actually working in KL, some in Cyberjaya, some even in Puchong, Subang Jaya, PJ or even Shah Alam. What drives them here? Mostly because of pricing and concept, and because of these 2 crucial factors, they try to change to adapt to the longer travel distance.. Gives and take, coz don't think you can win all, depend on individual preference of course..

By the way, Setia Alam is considered the "older version" of township planning compare to EM, so don't think it is fair to compare it with EM. Ecohill is the "new version" now, and from my perception is on par with EM, either from the township planning, landscape, streetscape, infra etc.. Setia Ecohill and EcoMajestic are side by side project, tally, on par and complement with each other. Ultimately, either of it also part and parcel of the mighty SEH 1 + EM + SEH2 3000 acres township that we are putting the focus now.

As I said, be it international school or local government school, people tend to have it as a choice and it serves for different targeted market requirement. If being given a choice between a housing project with international/national school and the other one doesn't have such facility, people definitely will choose the former. But if given a choice between a housing project with international school compare to another one with national school, it shall depends on the individual preference, some will opt for national school but some other will choose international school instead, all depend on the individual's need and requirement. I presume it is not fair to claim housing project with national school shall be always superior than the one with international school or vice versa, as it depends on the individual preference and requirement.

Ecohill / EcoMajestic are "gifted" coz before they are here, we already have 2 chinese primary schools in Semenyih. Currently with the entrance of Tenby and perhaps another choice of SRJK in EM, we will have a quite comprehensive hub of education service within the vicinity. The condition is much better than area such as Mahkota Cheras/Sungai Long which already have thousands of people have bought property there but till now still fighting for the completion and opening of a SRJK in that area..

Agree on that.. But if there is a Hermes flagship shop or Lambo outlet in that area, people will have different perception on the prospect for sure, be it really needed by the local people.

In other words, even Hermes or Lambo also have confident on the future prospect of this area, sure there is an attractive point to drive for development. I think people do welcome to have such luxury choice in their area, though they may not really need it.

Agree.... Live, learn, work, play.. This is the motto for SP Setia, strongly believe that EW also holding tight on this principle.. Reason is simple, because they are TOWNSHIP DEVELOPER...

3 MRT stations in Kajang is about 10 - 15 minutes drive from Semenyih using the Ecohill link..

Don't forget to add in the EW new landbank measuring 492 acres near Camellia residence...

How long Mahkota Cheras / Sungai Long to develop till current stage?

Yeah, the exact location I have shared in my past old post in this thread, version... Forget ald..

Total landbank SP Setia and Ecoworld have in Semenyih more than 3000 acres..

Indeed, some more the landbank is in the hand of experience township developer, potential x 2...

lol... seems like yummy food really can makes people lose attention...
