Thanks Bro. Not too familiar with the potential of the whole place. Assuming we are able to get a unit in Brighton, you think rental yield is likely to be good? Any guess? Yes times are bad now and for that I believe the developer will not simply price their products so not to chase away the genuine investors. Their 1st phase I heard was selling at RM1.3mil for 24x80 double storey. Cheers!
The "1st phase" of the commercial lot is Ivoris, starting from RM1.39M. Location wise, I prefer Ivoris which is next to the Silver Square - the heart of the commercials of EM township. Ivoris, for some reason I miss the boat though I wanted it.
For Brighton, I have reservations about its location which seems to me "sidelined" from the centre of commercials of the township. Nevertheless, those staying in the thousand units of apartments in Velveton precint near Brighton, other nearby precints and out-of-EM housing areas like Kesuma may frequent the shops there more often. Another plus point is schools are nearby too. However, accessibility wise, as Brighton is located near the entrance into EM from the East Gate, it loses out to Ivoris which is likely to see more traffic flows from the EM interchange (once ready) and North Gate, and probably from SEH2 once SEH2 developed. The Ecohill Link starts from SEH, cuts through EM (from North Gate) and will continue to SEH2. Basing on this, I expect / wish Brighton will be priced not higher than Ivoris but seems I'm wrong.
Rental yield, I conservatively estimate 4% - 5% for Brighton, not attractive but I do consider the capital appreciation too.
Your thought?
