Thanks for the article...

Property Exchange’s Hum says rents for condominiums in Cheras are currently between RM2 psf and RM3 psf for a fully furnished unit. Older condos such as Warisan City View are going for about RM2 psf, while newer and higher-end developments such as Amaya Maluri are going for RM2.60 psf to RM2.80 psf.

“A fully furnished condo unit within an integrated development stands to fetch a higher rental of RM3 psf onwards. Overall, rental demand in Cheras is strong in view of its close proximity to KL city centre and relatively low rental rates.”

The edgeproperty.com analytics show that rental yields in Cheras are good, with many developments reaping a yield of 5% and above due to reasonable capital values.


Using the above statement of max RM3psf rental for current situation, a low floor 762sf duplex 500k (price tag) will yield
3psf*762sf*12months / 500000 = 5.5%

It is meeting 5% spelt above.

LAD 8% lagi syok?

Understand about the low rental psf, the rental yield is attractive for buyers of at least 5 years ago...
Buyers for 160k enjoy 11.25% rental yield
Buyers for 220k enjoy 8.18% rental yield
Not bad...

Maybe my client lucky, rent 1.9k partial furnished, and another one 2.1k for fully furnished.

Well, Eko Cheras with MRT, mall .. I'm sure could get better rent.

If Ekovest really send out progress billing in August, means they take about 20months from earliest stamped SPA to complete the piling + groundwork work....

Left 22months before the LAD kick in... Ekovest has a lot of works to catch up.

The stamping date cannot be more than one month after the signing date otherwise penalty will occur.

I call up Ekovest and ask about the slow progress and spoke to 2 person.

First person said piling completing soon. When I asked when, then she said their project department said by june/july this year. Then I said now already august and she said need to check again.

Second person said slow because they need to do the basement. I said already 1.5 years after launch, she said don't worry still in progress. They are big company and still launching few other new projects

Anyone want to call again and see what answer they give?

According to source, most of the current work are heavily machine dependent.
So, the more machines in operation, the better the progress.


Based-on one week day observation, the number of workers are more compared to weekend.

I attended their booth last week and asked one SA about the progress.
She gave me the similar answer as yours.
(A few months back, she told me that she, as a SA, also has a unit also, so no worry)

I indicated that this may impact their reputation for other launch.
Another SA (at the same booth) told me that 70% of the launched block(EKT) are sold.
(Me speechless) blink.gif

Yes..Need more buyers to give them more calls.

Hope the EKC mall has GSC.
The cinemas environment/seating/screen position at Leisure Mall is kinda outdated and not being renovated to catch up to the latest trend/features.
To me, GSC is my long waited cinema to extend its business in Cheras since Leisure Mall days.
If GSC comes in, the EKC cinema can be extended or higher tier halls to Leisure Mall.
It can operate like GSC siblings way in MV+Gardens, BTS+Pavilion ... rclxms.gif

Copy other forum thread. Important and general knowledge when you buying commercials resident so call soho

Arte Mont Kiara Project by Nusmetro

Sale and Purchase Agreement is lopsided. Just check carefully before signing.

1. completion period: 48 months from superstructure date and not from signing of SPA. That means the basement and car park can be built and progress payment will be released by the bank but completion period does not start. By the time reach superstructure, 50% of the purchase price is released already. Only then 4 years to complete

2. Defects Liability does not include air cond and pantry top only building work

3. Purchaser cannot sell property until strata title issued. Means not so good for investor because cannot sell. However if the developer agree to allow sale then the have to pay 1% of the new purchase price or valuation price (whichever higher)

4. Payment schedule - not normal, very upfront arrangement. there is a risk that the balance money may not be enough to sustain the project if any problem.

many more points. need to go thru carefully

Takezhiro,
Arte is based on Non Sch-H, commercial property. EKC SOHO Block J & H are Sch H project. Both are different category.

As commercial properties, the buyers will not enjoy the protection compared with Schedule H project, at least legality, progress billings, defect period etc. Therefore the risk is much higher.

However, putting aside sch H, investors need to think the reward and potential investment return vs risk and not bogged by Schedule H.

For EKC, we have approximately 1500 residential units. Assuming that on average we have 2 people living in each unit, that's a population of 3000 people within EKC development alone. I would expect the retail stores, f&b, cinema etc. to be self-sustainable even without any external visitors.

I also hope to get insider's new.
Here is what I guess (my opinion only, no need to agree)

1) Market opportunity
After Leisure Mall (LM) cinema and for the past 20 years, GSC has expanded its business almost every where in KV but not Cheras.
The nearest GSC to LM, are MV and BTS. With only 4 halls and its "status quo" facility(seat layout, flat-slope floor, screen up), LM is considered not on par with other GSC cinemas (stair-ed floor seats, Dolby Atmos, THX).
Most new cinemas are with 8-13 halls nowadays. Can 4 halls still cope for the market?
All the cinemas quoted in this post are non-GSC brands.

*
2) Competition or Complementary
If a non-GSC cinema is to operate at EKC, it is a direct competitor to GSC Leisure Mall(LM)
With only 4 halls and current facility, can GSC compete with other brands within this MRT station?
Will patrons prefer a newer EKC cinema in walking distance?
On the other hand, if GSC enters EKC, the business can be operated like siblings complementing each other.
I quoted these GSC siblings examples several times eg, MV/Gardens and BTS/Pavilion. Each cinema are complementing the other.
Perhaps GSC can operate in the same way while GSC EKC in higher tier/better facility.
Likewise, if GSC LM tickets are fully sold, people can walk to EKC for tickets, and vice versa.


3) MRT factors
People from a few stations away, towards Kajang direction (I know Kajang and Cheras Selatan have cinemas), eg, Cheras 9-11 miles, will have more choice of cinemas besides TGV.
In fact, LM/EKC it is just one MRT station away from Cheras Sentral.
Looking at cinemas in a new upcoming mall at Cheras, (Cheras Senratl-TGV, Velocity-TGV) EKC is the last available slot.

I do not know if GSC is considering the above factors. But I hope they get to read this forum.
In fact, if they came to to the nego stage(regardless if the deal is closed/sealed), GSC has at least trying its best to look for Cheras opportunity.

Hello hello gor, mv no longer Hv gold class, all move to gardens signature gsc. From gold class to premier class, I hv cross check gsc management. They will upgrade the leisure mall seat and their movie system, other than that whether they going to venture into EKC, chances are slim.

Great to hear that.
Earlier we were trying to identify which cinema will be operating at MyTown. How many halls will it be?

MyTown is not really located at Jln Cheras but for sure it will reduce the possibility of GSC to EKC.

Anyway l will still hope GSC to expend its business at EKC.

I'm based in London and the name sounded familiar, googled it and indeed, its headquarter is in London. Seems like a fairly big global real estate firm, listed on FTSE250 stock exchange.

Things are looking fairly promising by the look of things but keep up with the updates. Appreciate the input from all of you guys.

Hi ekorjiulai boss, glad to hear that the Savills sounds familiar to you.

If possible, can you help to observe more details if Savills mostly manages which types of malls, whether they manage highend mall (eg Pavilion here) or mid range (eg MV, 1U) or ordinary shopping complex(eg Sg Wang)?
This way, we can have a prelim impression of EKC mall will likely to be.
Thanks a lot

Did some research and it seems that they manage a wide range of retail management from low to high end malls. They currently manage:

113 shopping malls
636 retail parks (i.e. street shopping concept)
87 leisure schemes

UK shopping scene is somewhat different whereby it is mostly street based shopping rather than indoors (ie shopping malls). However, I did manage to find 2 example shopping centres that they have been appointed as the management:

Princesshay shopping centre (anchor: john lewis, debenhams, next)
Fort shopping centre (anchor: Marks & Spencer)

John Lewis is an upper end department store (similar to Robinsons in The Gardens). Debenhams is a bit like aeon/metrojaya. M&S is somewhat in between. Next is a retail outlet which sells clothes etc. and is slightly higher than H&M.

Based on these findings, I would suspect that they tend to manage malls around Midvalley standards. But then again, it depends on the demographic as well and mall size. That said, they have also been appointed to advise (but not manage directly) Westfield London (ie. probably one of the biggest shopping malls in London and arguably Europe) on identifying prime shopping centre facilities (ie. acquisition).

So it seems like Savills is a good all rounder real estate management firm (as you would expect given the size of the company).

Did some research and it seems that they manage a wide range of retail management from low to high end malls. They currently manage:

113 shopping malls
636 retail parks (i.e. street shopping concept)
87 leisure schemes

Have a quick glimpse about cash flow on pg4 and observed some negative values (negative net cash from operating activities, negative net cash used in investing activities etc)
(I am no expert, just reading only)

CMW boss, what do you think?
(Believe you have something in mind)

Have yet seen their June report made available from the link...

From the marketing brochure, the EKC land has been charged to Ambank. Since the land has been bought many years ago at low cost, the land cost should have been paid off presumably. Then this charge should be for bridging loan.

If there is really a bridging loan obtained from Ambank, there should be adequate cashflow available to fund and push the construction fast

Since Cheras Sentral lost its interchange status(not in new proposed MRT2 alignment), Mayland and its mall management unit really have to put in more effort in sustaining the mall.

Bro its not the problem of continuing rusting in the concrete, its the problem of is those bars enough capacity not within the design limit. Says the design require 4nos of 20 mm diameter bars in the beams/columns, but after the rusting process left only the rusty 4 nos of 18 mm diameter bars 100%-(18^2/20^2 x 100)=19% losses!!! ....become much insufficient, hard to tell about the real integrity of structure performance later..

There are actually more than 40, easily double or triple if u include places like Ikon Connaught as a mall and future unconfirmed ones such as Atria Cheras and Dupion Island Cheras.

Understand each n every businessman wants to maximise the return of investment. But they are not professional in this field, they should engaged professional to manage the mall and hotel although need to pay hefty management fee. This is high end project with the tallest building in Cheras may end up like a pasar malam project if manage by an inexperience team. it is like experiment project for them to test their internal staff capability to run mall n hotel.
How can a construction and development company run mall and hotel ?? In my opinion, they are just too selfish and put too much risk to the buyers like us!

Hope this is not the case. It will be devastating if it is.

Based on its location and MRT connection, EkoCheras Mall could very well be one of the best mall in town. Don't waste it!

They have money and the major shareholder is top 20 wealthiest man in Malaysia. They bought the land 10 years back with a very cheap price and can easily get financing from it. If u see the financial report, yes it is true that the gearing of the company is high mainly due to financing for duke2 highway which is under construction.

It is just depend on how much margin they want to make from this project and whether the management is good enough to see longer term rental yield for this project by spending a little bit more money to hire a professional team to reduce the risk of this project!

I don't believe the rental can be high yield if everything also DIY ! And the appreciation of the property value also limited !

if u check other construction sites, u will notice most (if not all) also leave their metal bars outside and exposed to the sun and rain. let me noe which projects actually built a shade for these materials.

Most smart sub cons wont stockpile these rebar in huge quantities due to the cost,just the quantities required and will be installed within short period (prevent rust issue). Some maincon or developers who thought they are smart will buy those steel bar in huge quantities (lower price as economic of scale? Or some great commissions driven)as they are much financially strong. End up tons of rusty bar left rusty onsite for years untill they are required. Thats the fact of our local construction industry, no one to be blamed here..

May l suggest all buyers to feedback the concern about mall management at their BOOTH in every property exhibition/event? Buyers can suggest your idal mall management to them.

Remind them if EKC mall failed then all malls along other river also will not come to life.
At least we have done our part.

A few months, you mentioned the progress was hardly move or snail pace. (You were invited to have look. Wonder you have been to site.) With multiple feedback from buyers, the developer had finally decided to provide periodic update. Now you say progress looks good.

The EKC and its mall is the debut mixed project of EKV.
If this project fails, it will impact EKV image in subsequent projects, specially malls by the river of life.

All buyers out there, pls continue your good work to press developer and feedback about the mall. Not sure if the developer will finally employ extetnal team to manage the mall. We should not give without trying. Not try no gain. Cheers!

if u look at successful malls besides the size (tends to be at least 1.2 m sq ft NLA at least), another impt factor is that they all are connected to or located very nearby corporate office towers that are highly occupied. Bandar Utama has 1 First Avenue, Plaza IBM, KPMG tower. These 3 office towers are fully occupied. Midvalley has Boulevard n Arcc Offices, KLCC Sunsuria has petronas twin tower office, menara maxis, menara public bank, menara TA, Wisma Selangor Dredging. Even Pavillion has Menara Standard Chartered and Wisma Genting just barely 60 metres away. These fully occupied office blocks provide constant foot traffic to the malls daily besides tourists. But tourists are seasonal only, whereas white collar offices provides the daily turnover. If ekocheras mall is to succeed, then the developer better make sure their office tower is highly occupied (80 to 90%). If not the mall will become a white elephant in due time. The residential units alone are not sufficient to fire up the mall biz. Why? bcoz most of the "normal" residents leave home at 745am (ir earlier) to go to work to beat the jam and return home at 8 to 830pm. So thr is very limited time for them to visit their mall downstairs, whereas office workers with only 1 hour lunch have not much choice but to eat inside the mall or food court as they dont have much time to venture outside. In between they will also visit retail outlets to purchase their needed items as it will b very convenient for them to do their shopping since their offices are located within the integrated project.

convesely if u see malls that are not doing so well besides smallish in size (normally below 700 sq ft NLA), they are typically surrounded by residential houses or service apartments but do not hv much integration with corporate offices which are fully tenanted. A few examples are Paradigm mall, Tropicana mall, Atria, Quill, Jaya Mall, The 19 USJ City mall and SS2 mall. These malls are not thriving as they do NOT have constant foot traffic from white collar office workers working in nearby corporate office towers. With 40 new malls set to open by next year, i wonder how these malls will survive when intense competition sets in for these retail malls.

So bro, what would you like to suggest for the EKC mall management team?
To monitor the performance of the 40 new plus existing old malls for the next year and re-strategize?
I hope they are reading this forum.

one city mall is called The Place. Its not big. 500 sq ft NLA only and the developer also did a mistake by selling the retail space
To hv a successful mall another key factor is for the developer not to sell any of the retail space but to hold it for better tenant control.

EKC should look into how to get their corporate office tower be fully tenanted by MNC companies and also big listed companies. As a general rule of thumb, mncs normally pay 20 to 30% more than local companies. By getting these better paid workers into their corporate office tower, these workers have more disposable income to spend at ekomall which is good for the business of the food and retail shops. This is key to the success of ekomall. the resi units alone cannot fire up the biz of the mall. The "normal' residents at block J, H and E will leave at 730 am to work to beat d jam and rtn late maybe 8 to 830pm, not leaving them with much discretionary time 2 shop. Only the retirees got lots of time to hang around eko mall but retirees do not have active income anymore so they will be careful with their spending. This group would not be able to drive the ekomall biz. The high paid white collar workers working in the corporate office tower can drive the eko mall business. So attention should be paid to filling up ekocheras corporate office tower with mnc companies and other big stable malaysian companies who are good pay masters. The mall need to leverage on the tenants of the corporate office tower as their key stable customers, then the hotel guests and lastly the residence staying in block J, H and block E.

Well say bro..
Thanks for the analysis of suggested key success for Ekomall.
Have also read your similar comment from you have been spelt in the MCT REO thread.

The Ekocheras has a few different scenarios
1) Unlike MCT mall having the planning and execution to bring in more MNC companies, the office units of EKC are sold to public(EKV may keep a little).
Hence, I am not sure how the MNC companies would like to setup their offices by renting from public
2) According to the video of river of life, EKV's HQ will be built there (ie not in EKC)
3) There are commercial area opposite to Ekomall, ie the retail shops at Tmn Segar and Leisure Mall.
What can Ekomall do to leverage and draw crowd from Tmn Segar commercial area.
4) Ekomall is located within established and mature surrounding(Tayton View, Mutiara Barat, Billion, Awana Puri.
There are will be less development. What can Ekomall do to target this group of nearby "residential" customers?
4) Via MRT, Ekomall is connected to Kajang side.
What are the main features Ekomall can/will have to attract crowd from Kajang direction?

Any further analysis and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks a lot, bro.

Jagalat-kor, ekocheras is having only 1 block of office tower and selling at average price of rm800 psf. I do not know what is the size of Ekocheras office suites in totality from NLA perspective. Apparently sales of their office suites have been brisk. The hotel guest can also provide foot traffic to ekocheras mall. From my view, the white collar office workers will provide the most stable foot traffic to the mall, followed by the hotel guest and lastly the residents of block J, H & E, along this order. As a comparison, upcoming MCT mall in usj will have equivalent size of 1.5 m sq ft NLA with its 3 blocks of grade A office towers which also commands 1.5m sq ft NLA From a strategic perspective, MCT got their development concept correct as they plan to bring in 15,000 white collar workers into their 3 blocks of grade A office towers. They are not selling the office blocks but will be owning the office blocks and leasing them to their chosen segment of tenants (preferable higher paying MNCs and big listed malaysian companies). This would create the perfect synergy for their MCT mall as these higher paid white collar workers will have more disposable income to spend in the mall. Sorry to hijack this forum with another project but Jagalat-kor and myself just wanted to draw a comparison between the 2 integrated projects.

Doubt so as prices have already increased since then if you've gotten in earlier. If you sell at launch price, I'm pretty sure it will sell so your downside is limited.

I heard block J and H have been fully sold recently from a vested sales agent with 1 drop out 762sqft unit but asking for 560k.

I might be biased but I do genuinely think that this is a strategic location in Cheras. I believe there was a discussion previously that regardless of the mall success, it is still a good buy as the mall is just an icing on top given its location. Leisure Mall is just around the corner too and with a covered link bridge to the MRT station, it is a commuter's dream to live in one if they work in the city. Say goodbye to traffic jams and car maintenance costs (subject to the MRT being efficient of course).

Go for the long game and I believe you'll be quids in. As long as you have the holding power, you can demand a price. If price is low, then keep holding on to it and rent it out. Once everything is up and running for Cheras (eg. Ikea, velocity, mrt etc.), i think value will start pouring in.

All I wish right now is that the developer takes this development seriously by ensuring the property finishes on time, has a good quality finish and good maintenance and management of the property on an ongoing basis upon completion. The potential is there so it will be a shame for the developer not to take this opportunity to build a solid passive income for their future earnings. If the mall is a success, then I reckon this will be one of the best developments in KL South.

Need all buyers' help to continue providing feedback/concern/suggestions to developer pertaining the progress/mall.
This way, the developer will know that all eyes are watching on their work/delivery.

Jln cheras will b buzzling with activities once MRT line 1 starts operation in July 2017. Jln Cheras enjoys many MRT stops starting fr Sunway Velocity up to Kajang. It is not an overstatement to say that efficient rail system stirs economic activities and projects along jln cheras will be the main beneficiary of this.

Doubt so as prices have already increased since then if you've gotten in earlier. If you sell at launch price, I'm pretty sure it will sell so your downside is limited.

I heard block J and H have been fully sold recently from a vested sales agent with 1 drop out 762sqft unit but asking for 560k.

I might be biased but I do genuinely think that this is a strategic location in Cheras. I believe there was a discussion previously that regardless of the mall success, it is still a good buy as the mall is just an icing on top given its location. Leisure Mall is just around the corner too and with a covered link bridge to the MRT station, it is a commuter's dream to live in one if they work in the city. Say goodbye to traffic jams and car maintenance costs (subject to the MRT being efficient of course).

Go for the long game and I believe you'll be quids in. As long as you have the holding power, you can demand a price. If price is low, then keep holding on to it and rent it out. Once everything is up and running for Cheras (eg. Ikea, velocity, mrt etc.), i think value will start pouring in.

All I wish right now is that the developer takes this development seriously by ensuring the property finishes on time, has a good quality finish and good maintenance and management of the property on an ongoing basis upon completion. The potential is there so it will be a shame for the developer not to take this opportunity to build a solid passive income for their future earnings. If the mall is a success, then I reckon this will be one of the best developments in KL South.

Actually there r many service apartments or soho which have direct link to mrt/lrt. Youcity, saville@cheras, sunway velocity, Maxim@Cheras, Netizen@Bandar tun hussein onn just to name a few in Cheras alone. I wonder why the forummer named Ekocheras as the best as there are many other similar developments in Cheras.

With the latest toll hike inclusive of Duke, do you think Ekovest will have a better cash flow for other projects like EKC?

My take on probability of project abandoning is:
1) 10 months ago - high, as almost no difference upon each visit to the site
2) 4 to 5 months ago - medium high as snail pace progress observed
3) this month - medium as significant progress observed for months

The degree of abandoning, to me, is relatively lower than the reading beginning of the year.
I do not totally rule out the probability as continuous monitoring is still required.

I have no internal visibility on their management decision.

Other buyers pls continue to feedback to the developer whenever possible and tekan them to produce periodic update.

One question is if this debut mixed development project is abandoned, how big is the reputation impact towards subsequent projects?

As for the draw down, if I recall correctly from earlier thread, it should happen when the work of the phase is completed.
Based on the progress, BlkJ buyers should get notice earlier compared to others.

Earlier l tot the barricades were borrowed for MRT construction.

Anyone with any details on the next 10% payment please share alright... I think at this rate, seems like it works out better for those who didn't opt for the DIBS route (i.e. less interest charged when bank drawdown has been delayed).

hm..i don't think it will enter tesco midah, but surely will affect small road traffic beside tesco...unless need to clarify with EKOcheras

somemore that MRR2 is down slope.quite dangerous..imagine..cars from MRR2 meet cars from Uturn flyover and cars from taman midah.. blink.gif

anyway..hopefully the company and DBKL or JKR plan the road with responsible

I used to call the number back in 2013 and Joe was answering. Perhaps he has changed the number later.

There are two more numbers in the post but they don't always answer.

Best is still walk in to their Sales gallery at Jln Gombak.

May l understand your statement "at least on par with their initial launching price likely"....

Do you mean exactly the initial launching price?
Or there is an x% increase from the initial launching price... then can you advise the x value?

Thanks

The SA said got 2 units in block H which is unsold. 1 unit at level 19 and another unit at level 4. She maintained that completion will be on Dec 2017. She explained that block J and H has 3 levels of under ground basement carpark which is taking a lot of time to construct but once the basement is completed the rest of the construction will be much faster, hence they are maintaining the Dec 2017 deadline.

One buyer name spotted....
Described as a proud buyer in the text ..
Mind to reveal your block if you are reading this forum? Thanks

http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015...elopers-booths/

:
Another proud buyer was Tai Peck Tee, who purchased a service apartment unit at EkoCheras by Ekovest Bhd.

“This development is in a very convenient part of town, especially as there is a future MRT station right next door,” he said.

“I’m planning on using this unit for investment. My tenants will be able to shop at the upcoming IKEA store in Cheras.”

A prelim welcome ....
I am using Antbank.
Recently they requested the "Power attorney search" and buyers have to pay...
The background is, after loan agreement signed back in 2013, no draw down has yet been made and they wanna know if borrowers become bankrupt since...so they requested this search .... Leceh....
Wonder if other bank is also requesting this type of search....

Also should you plan to flip after vp, avoid those loans with lock in period..

Hi Jagalat,

Thx for your advise. Will ask if other banks have this. On resale, I understand that usually this can only be done after Title is under own name, do u know typically when can this be done? After we get key or there are certain holding period (beside the loan lock in)?

Btw, I asked SA regarding the slow progress, SA mentioned due to 3flr basement construction which takes longer but expected completion is end 2017.

I did not explore how long it takes for the title reflected owner's name...Need other daikors input

Besides lock in and the above scenario, watch out for rpgt if you plan not to use the life time exemption.

“The buyer (flipper) might ask for RM3,500 rental but not get it, then he’ll drop the rental, then drop it and drop it again to RM2,000 or RM1,500 ... so it will be a renters market,” he says.

However, Siva stresses that it is not the entire housing sector that will be affected by lower rents; this would apply only in selected speculative sectors.

“I think it will be with the RM500,000 to RM800,000 condos, the high-end residential condos and shoebox units like SoHo, SoVo and SoFo, which have been built by the ­dozens,” he says, referring to different types of small commercial units, the small-office-home office, small-office-virtual-office, and small-office-flexible-office.

Any thoughts on this guys? I'm not flipping so I'm not too concerned but will be good to have some input regardless. Hope the majority of ekocheras buyers have a good holding power though!

If you are referring to bore piles layers at the edge, my guess is that they wanna build a strong retaining wall.
The convent at the hill is the highest ground neighbor of EKC. Hence the perimeter wall has to be strong enough to prevent erosion and the same time allowing basement work to carry on.
Any expert view is welcome....

basement parking is at least double the cost of elevated parking. Ventilation, drainage design etc are very important to ensure no flooding and always well ventilated. All the cost added up

The newsletter only shows two pictures of construction progress....of which our jagalat bro pictures are much better

No mention of current completion %

No mention of whether on time in accordance to schedule

No target completion date

Said everything but like said nothing

IMO, the newsletter focuses Ekovest-wide projects, does more marketing/selling than status updates.
EKC buyers are expecting more construction updates/billing notice.
I recommend that buyers replied the email and constructively suggest EKV to reflect/update items in CMW boss' questions.

One thing for sure, their 2 pictures were not taken from any image posted in the forum. : sweat.gif
In fact, the site picture is kinda "generic" and early stage, that provides room for them to post any progress pictures to their best interest (ie may not reflect the latest pictures as in the forum).

2. Will the mall be successful?

I guess that is why the balance units are selling at discounted price compared to similar concept such as Tropicana Gardens.

Tropicana Garden will be safer bet if prospect buyers are looking for certainties in mall execution and completion date.

Need to check which specific part of KD vs Cheras also
If Leisure Mall vs Tropicana stretch... i do not think the location is losing out.
If KD claim proximity to Ikea/Curve, Cheras also got Mytown/ Ikea/ Velocity combo
and do not forget. KD is leasehold where Cheras majority is freehold

Mytown give A- or B+.. I aso add MV pyramid 1u into A grade malls.. A grade doesnt mean lux brands..

Velociti with d low occupancy n missing anchors maybe end up low footfall so no worries abt what grade mall..

SnP spelt as follow....
"2(a) the work below ground level of the said Building comprising the said Parcel including foundation of the said Building. (10%)"

I am not sure how to interpret the wording...
For BlkJ, the pile caps are done. The B3 work is almost done (at of the pictures taken), preparing for B2. Clearly B2, B1, LG, G and so on, not yet.

The usual spot where l normally took pictures does not provide a good angle to cover BlkE.
It is clearer to peep from Jln Cheras (near Cahaya Bumi) while queueing for the roundabout.

I have received a letter on the change of chargee from ambank to cimb bank. They wan us to sign the letter to give consent. In pursuance to clause 2.2 in spa.
But the clause mentioned they must show evidence of ambank discharge on the encumbrance.
If u guys have a 90% loan, it may delay the drawdown as the chargee is changed. And late drawdown will incur interest charges.
They basically refinance the land to get more money out of it.

If they refinance the whole land, BlkJ buyers should also receive the letter, else only partial of the land gets refinanced.
So BlkJ buyers can observe for two/three weeks if such letter arrives.

This is crazy. Refinance after sold. Ekovest cash flow so lousy need until the extent to go through all the fuss just to refinance? They need signature from all the buyers. That's desperate move. The next question is what if they could not get 100% return signature. What's next then? How the hell the dato got property man of the year? This is really joke of the year. Any taiko going to write in to ask what's going on?

Scary . If buyers don't sign that means they might run into cash flow problem. Worst case abandon the project ?

Anyone going to sign it?

This project is really jialat. I feel damn lucky to have skipped this project earlier. To owners of Ekocheras, I think you all should just close both eyes and pay the installment only. Keep taking pictures of the construction site is akin to watching paint dry. Just focus on your job, pay installment and pray hard that nothing goes wrong at Ekovest.

Bro, taking pictures is not for "akin-ing watching paint dry" but one way to monitor the construction progress bit by bit, at least to the buyers' interest.
Should there is a better viable solution, feel free to contribute.

its a case of do and die, don't do also die.

if let ekv refinance, if anything go wrong its going to be nigh impossible to revive the project as so much money alr owed to the bank.

if don't high possibility ekv will fail to complete or cut all possible corners due to insufficient cash.

high wave rider never believe the naysayers until too late...same thing like mcity

Im not a buyer of ekc. What i wan to say is that, when a corporation trying to refinance to other banks, it could be due to many reasons but not neccessarily bcoz of tight cash flow. It could be due to better interest rate / longer loan tenor offered by the bank OR is their corporate strategy to extend their banking relationship with other larger banks for future expansion OR maybe the land value has appreciated over the years that allow them to get higher loan margin to fund other projects. For individual like us, we may view an additional loan would caused us higher commitment, but for large corporation's view, additional borrowings may be their 'weapon'' to grow the biz and eventually turn better ROI. I believe big bank like CIMB has already evaluated eko biz performance b4 they lending out the $, especially if the loan amount involved few hundred millions RM or more. Just my 2cents

Agreed that they are many reasons for refinancing, but should ekc not do so for properties/land which do not require hundreds of buyers' consent before it goes through?

Any other buyers experienced this before?

Only heard of developer getting consent for land initially not charged but subsequently need to get loan which is a messy process

I think they not only need to get purchasers consent but maybe also the end financiers consent

Actually they should call a briefing session for all purchasers...

Can nominate someone to sign on behalf of you. I've checked this as I'm based overseas...

I guess even if you prefer to sign it yourself, you can ask that the letter to be couriered to you.

I have received a letter on the change of chargee from ambank to cimb bank. They wan us to sign the letter to give consent. In pursuance to clause 2.2 in spa.
But the clause mentioned they must show evidence of ambank discharge on the encumbrance.
If u guys have a 90% loan, it may delay the drawdown as the chargee is changed. And late drawdown will incur interest charges.
They basically refinance the land to get more money out of it.

EKC has already refinanced the land for a bigger loan sum with or wihout your consent. The letter is just a notification notice to the buyers. The refinancing has already been completed. Personally i am not too concerned if the project delays till 2018. The property mrk will still be in a doldrum till end of 2017 judging fr anecdotal observation which is largely contributed by oversupply of apartments, low oil price, inflation. Let the mrt run its course at the end of 2017 first b4 getting VP for this project. Also retailers are not having a good time now so best let Eko Mall launch in 2018. By then there maybe an upturn in the economy hopefully.

ya there is this possibility, the land valuation chargee to Ambaxk could be ages old, refinance to cimb based on current value will give them a huge cash out for another projects.
the only good thing is cimb already approved means they have the ability to borrow such a huge amount based on paper.
Cimb so kiasi and bank wont do losing business, if ekovxt not good enough, why cimb want to lend them?

As per the SPA Sch H clause 2(1), it is clear that developer needs to get approval of purchasers, not notification. However, it seems nothing mention about refinancing of the land.

If what ekovest staffs saying is true, then buyers can just ignore the letter since developer will go ahead with refinancing anyway.

Buyers lose nothing by not signing the letter..

However.... the content of the letter does suggest they need the approval from the buyers.

Thanks Jagalat, great pictures. Despite all the recent negativity by some posters, I'm pleased to see that the project is still progressing. It may not be as quick as we all would like it to be but at least it is progressing (i.e. not redundant).

The recent pictures (6th and 13th December) seem to have more observable significant changes so I guess it was indeed time consuming to prep the foundation (happy that they took their time rather than doing a half-baked job). I would rather have a delayed project than to sacrifice quality.

I suspect it will progress much quicker going forward as it'll probably be easier to build above ground than to dig holes.

As for the project itself, I'm still confident with the concept and location of the project. The completion of this project will only make trips to Leisure Mall more enjoyable with more to do and see.

I've been living in London next to an overground station (not all London stations are underground) and I honestly love the convenience of being connected to all other parts of London at my door step. Unless I have the need for a bigger home (which makes it not very viable to live in an apartment), I'll go with properties next to a station any day be it for investment or own stay. This applies to KL as well.

In terms of the tenant profiles, because the project is linked to an MRT station, we don't just get potential tenants from the local area but other areas linked to an MRT as well. I see this as a plus point for properties linked to an MRT station.

Nevertheless, as with all investments, there's always risks involved. In the case of EkoCheras, typically these will be risks associated with an off-plan project. This is also the reason why the value will generally increase as the project's building gets more visible since the earlier buyers would have been compensated (well, theoretically this should be the case but not guaranteed wink.gif ) for the risk of non-completion. Say what you want, but having seen property prices in Australia, UK and Singapore, Malaysia still has one of the cheapest properties for international investors.

Keep up the good work with the updates Jagalat and those who have been sharing info and ideas / applying pressure to the developer when things don't look quite right. I know we have a facebook group but closer to project completion, it will be nice if we can formalise a group (eg. owner's committee or something) to represent the owners of EkoCheras. If we have a strong committee, then we will have a stronger voice which will then make it easier for us to make suggestions / apply pressure with regard to the management of the property post-completion. Given the size of the development, we could even consider having committees by blocks.

All the best to us.

Guys, heard there's a new development coming up behind Ekocheras with 4700+ residential units + hotel + offices. 2 towers apparently have 70 storeys.

Anyone has any info on this?

Not exactly sure how this might impact Ekocheras but I guess we still retain the closest proximity to the MRT station.

This population of people may also help sustain our Ekomall.

Any thoughts?

It's approx 3 times the total units of EKC...
Wonder if there direct access from MRR2.

Which one has better access to Jln Cheras?
Which one has better access to MRR2?
Which one is closer to MRT1?
Which one is the better hub to attract foot step to it's mall?

Ekocheras definitely. I think it could even work in favour of us (for mall success) if they can attract more people to the area.

I've viewed Tiara Heights super semi-d development (if the prediction of this massive project is where it is, then that cleared land next to the project as seen on the map is where Tiara Heights is) and asked about direct entry from MRR2 but they said no plans in place and indicated safety concerns.

But who knows, anything is possible in Malaysia ;-)

I just hope they will be good road planning to ease the congestion.

In any case, I'm excited for this new area and quite positive to see that they are further investments pouring into this local area. The size of the total development in this area could potentially challenge Velocity already.

I am excited too..

JMHO, a direct access from/to highway to a mall is one critical success factor. Wirhout it, the "Viva mall" will be a stranded mall and in this case, the entrence of EKC mall will grab some of visitors to "Viva Mall" ...

Back in EKC approval days, if I recall correctly, one of the conditions was to build the Uturn flyover
The new Viva project has 3x EKC units, they should build at least one for them (if not three)..

Thanks Jagalat, great pictures. Despite all the recent negativity by some posters, I'm pleased to see that the project is still progressing. It may not be as quick as we all would like it to be but at least it is progressing (i.e. not redundant).

The recent pictures (6th and 13th December) seem to have more observable significant changes so I guess it was indeed time consuming to prep the foundation (happy that they took their time rather than doing a half-baked job). I would rather have a delayed project than to sacrifice quality.

I suspect it will progress much quicker going forward as it'll probably be easier to build above ground than to dig holes.

As for the project itself, I'm still confident with the concept and location of the project. The completion of this project will only make trips to Leisure Mall more enjoyable with more to do and see.

I've been living in London next to an overground station (not all London stations are underground) and I honestly love the convenience of being connected to all other parts of London at my door step. Unless I have the need for a bigger home (which makes it not very viable to live in an apartment), I'll go with properties next to a station any day be it for investment or own stay. This applies to KL as well.

In terms of the tenant profiles, because the project is linked to an MRT station, we don't just get potential tenants from the local area but other areas linked to an MRT as well. I see this as a plus point for properties linked to an MRT station.

Nevertheless, as with all investments, there's always risks involved. In the case of EkoCheras, typically these will be risks associated with an off-plan project. This is also the reason why the value will generally increase as the project's building gets more visible since the earlier buyers would have been compensated (well, theoretically this should be the case but not guaranteed wink.gif ) for the risk of non-completion. Say what you want, but having seen property prices in Australia, UK and Singapore, Malaysia still has one of the cheapest properties for international investors.

Given the size of the development, we could even consider having committees by blocks.

All the best to us.

well said... all the unit of SOHO smallest had been taken up according to SA , can see that people still willing to take it despite paying higher than the earlier buyers. For long run is not a bad buy provided they completed the project.

i see this as a good effect, this will provide price push to EKC, i can't see there is competition but this one does not come with mrt.
although there is a mall, but having a mall deep inside is not favourable.

The ekc will be the yardstick in term of rental and selling price , if both project is having the same price point for rental and selling, as a customer which one will you choose? the option is clear.

now the question is which project will be completed first to get the first pool of customer for rental and subsales.

70 storey !?!? 4.7 units!?!?
I personally don't think it will sell like hot cake like ekocheras in this JIB economy

If behind EKC is quite a distance to MRT.
Inside are small Taman road n difficult attract ppl go to the mall n hotel.

Thr are still 300+ bumi units which hv yet to be released. Ekocheras will be releasing them by end 2016 pushing the supply of apartments in the vicinity on top of the launch of the Viva apartments. I hope there will not be an oversupply of apartment in this area.

Whether there will be an oversupply in this area, l would say it depends on the launching units of Viva apartments.

If the Viva units are to be launched in phases where market can absorb, then OK.
However, if many units are launched to flood the market, then very obvious an oversupply will happened

The price of EKC bumi-release-unit will be a good reference point for subsale price upon vp.
So, what psf will it be?
Hotel&office punya psf or other?

According to the SA, he said they will increase the price of the bumi units when the units r released. it will not be the same price as the launching price but the quantum of the increase will only be disclosed during the release.

Side track 2....


http://www.propertyguru.com.my/property-ne...property-sector

One can expect a market correction of 3 to 4%. This is especially true for high-rise units, especially in the high-end market. There, of course, will be certain properties in prime areas (i.e. near the MRT, etc.) that will buck the trend and continue to appreciate.

Chinese text here...
http://property.sinchew.com.my/node/3348?tid=4

根據該報告,2016年房市會稍微走跌,然後下半年會逐漸回穩,2017至2018年房市將會逐漸復甦。在明年房價和交易量會有一定的調整,介於3至4%,尤其是高端的高樓房產。不過,在一些黃金地段(如:靠近捷運站)則會逆市上漲,價格繼續攀高。


Do you think EKC, located at the MRT area, has price rise?
