I just received this thru the mail for anyone who's interested:


Have fun, y'all.

Do expect the Kepong ppl to protest in the newspapers soon if this is confirmed to be the case.

They already protested the proposed construction of the high-tech Waste to Energy Incinerator nearby...

There's no show unit as far as I can recall when I enquired at the Sentul West sales office last time.

I went to check the unit layouts and Type C4 is a 2-bedder at the size of 1,2xx sf. Hopefully the pricing is not referring to that unit.

If they're referring to the Type A1 with the same size at 3-bedrooms, then it's quite worth it.

I see. Must be the one at Starhill Gallery, then. Will pay a visit to it when I have the time.

I believe YTL can justify the price with the potential of them developing Sentul East, but based on the pace of their project launches, they don't seem to be in a hurry to do so.

From the Google Maps image of that area itself, you can see quite a number of empty plot of lands adjacent to both Capers and The Fennel, but still no progress on them up till this very day.

Really? I was under the impression that Capers was sold out and the take up rate for Fennel is quite high (not sure about the last block, tho, as it was just launched early this year).

Maybe they're aiming for the crowd outside of Jalan Ipoh such as Mont Kiara, Titiwangsa and Bangsar? Coz I'm sure they can market it as cheaper with a similar sized unit for those who feel they're priced out of those areas.

Go site visit either thru agent appt or if you know someone staying there is much better compared to reading the reviews on Google or anywhere else.

Then you can get the 'feel' of the place and its surroundings.

At most, social events such as this one only brings attention to Sentul and this park. Whether it will bring in any new potential buyers remains to be seen.

That's why I once highlighted that YTL will have to speed up their launches if they want more people to move into this area, but they're taking it real slow as if its not a top priority for them.

Didn't really attend either of them as this is the 1st time I heard of this Riuh event. As for last weekend, I wasn't able to attend it coz I got some errands I need to run.

Maybe can go pay a visit to it next time to see what its all about.

So that means those who bought a unit at Capers are automatically given YTL Broadband service or they can choose any type of network as they please?

Didn't know that the intercom needs a network. I thought the line is connected directly to the guardhouse?

Well, both this project and Capers is wedged in between Sentul Timur and Sentul LRT stations. For sure there will be investors among the buyers.

As for that area itself, well, see how fast YTL can develop it. At the moment, it doesn't look like they're in a hurry to do so.

Quite normal for some newly completed condo to use glass to separate the bathroom and the master bedroom itself nowadays. Shamelin Star also did this.



Bear in mind that this is a subsale unit and the owner already glazed the glass (for lack of a better term).

Sang Suria used to be an abandoned condo before YTL revived it years ago (link).

The oldest is The Tamarind, which is built by YTL proper.

KTM? Isn't this project and Capers much closer to both Sentul Timur and the Sentul LRT stations respectively?

If I was living in this project or any other projects within the Sentul East vicinity, I'd rather take the LRT than the KTM. I took the KTM a few times from KL Sentral to MidValley and the frequency is terrible. Even the latter KTM station exit only have one gate for TnG and it caused a long line of ppl to queue there just to tap and exit. Really inefficient.

Never understood why KTM can't even upgrade their facilities and improve the frequency of their trains to match both the LRT and MRT respectively at 4/5 mins per train instead of 10 - 17 mins.

Capers hands down.

For Fennel, only the 2 blocks close to the entrance can view the Twin Towers, but even so, it will either be blocked by another Fennel block or by Capers.

Developer's greed or being over-ambitious about an area's potential when they priced their projects.

I recall AskarPerang mentioned that completed sub-sale properties in Ara Damansara are currently undergoing a price correction when most of those developers are selling them at around RM 8xx/sf and above during their launch.

An SA once told me that projects that were approved prior to the Strata Title Act 2013 can still follow the old Strata Title Act of allocating certain units with only 1 carpark, regardless of size, even though they're completed in 2015 onwards. I believe this project also falls into this category.

As one example, Shamelin Star (completed end 2016) have lower floor 1,272sf units which comes with 1 cp only, while their 1,054sf units, regardless of which floor, are given 2 cps. As for the former unit size, the mid to higher floors are entitled to 2 cps.

As for the minimum of 2 cps, I recall the latest act is only enforced for 1,000sf and above units only.
