I think it's because property isn't their core business so they're being really complacent and BSC is probably a >20 year township development so they're taking their own sweet time for occupancy to rise and for nature to take its own course. With the VP of Hemingway and Hampton in the near future, occupancy will continue to improve and hopefully amenities will follow suit. They've already lit up the central park in recent years. I'm hoping that they will do more to improve the entrance and replace all the street lamps with LED lamps. Like you said, we can benefit from the Eco Grandeur township development as Ecoworld is way ahead in township development and will bring in all the necessary amenities.

No free mot and stamp duty. Only free legal fees.

I didn't hear about the Aeon wor.

Keen to know which site has been earmarked for it as well.

Couldn't find any news so far. Perhaps Ecoworld is bringing them over like how they did it with Eco Majestic?

Congrats to the owners of Hemingway Phase 2. Hope the population will grow further with more amenities becoming available.

Looking forward to moving there next year when mine is completed.

For me I decided to buy a unit at BSC because it is freehold and better value for money for the size that I am getting. We also considered EcoGrandeur (EG) and Elmina. I didn't want to pay the high maintenance fees at EG. EG is also leasehold and has many restrictions because of the strata title.

As for Elmina, I didn't like the fact that the Elmina parcels are not gated and guarded until residents set up their own security perimeter etc.

The fact that Ecoworld and other developers are nearby means there will be spillover effects when those townships grow. Ecoworld has better track record at developing townships, bringing in amenities etc. That means BSC residents will benefit as well since it's only a stone's throw away.

There is room for improvement for BSC as a township but if I were to choose again I will still go for BSC over EG and Elmina.

To each his own la.

I shared my thoughts after considering Hampton, EG and Elmina, just a few posts before yours. I settled for Hampton in the end. I liked Reesia's layout but it was also slightly pricier than Hampton when I last visited Elmina. Not sure what are the rebates like at Elmina now.

If anyone is interested to exchange opinion on Hampton, BSC, the area in general or open to sharing the referral fee for Hampton, please feel free to PM me. Cheers.

Hi, assume you have already signed your SPA for Hampton by now. Do you know if anyone has set up a group chat for Hampton?

Heard Hampton is selling really well after MCO. Are you a purchaser at Hampton too? Thinking of setting up a group chat for future residents of Hampton if one hasn't been set up.

BSC residents with school-going children: may I know which schools do you send your kids to? I understand that the Chinese schools at BSC and EcoGrandeur are still pending funding for construction from MOE.

Dear soon-to-be neighbours at Hampton Residences, we have set up a community WhatsApp group for Hampton. Please PM me to join once you have signed your SPA. There will be a simple verification process to ascertain if you are a purchaser.

Yes. We have a a WhatsApp group for Hampton. You may PM me for access verification once you have received your Sale and Purchase Agreement.

I've dropped you a PM.

It’s a relatively new township. I wouldn’t say it’s self sufficient yet but accessibility and amenities have been constantly improving with the influx of developers into the area over the past few years. There’s a small neighbourhood mall called the KIP Mall, a Jaya Grocer and a new commercial area in Eco Grandeur (5km away). There have been talks of an Aeon Mall within the township but it may have been delayed by Covid. Nearest townships are Sg Buloh/Rahman Putra, Puncak Alam, Setia Alam (via new access), Rawang, Kota Damansara, Subang…depends which highway or access road you take.

BSC is on higher terrain. The flooding during the last Selangor floods was infront of the mosque and furniture shop at the traffic light intersection to Eco Grandeur. No floods within BSC.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd's property arm KLK Land is expected to significantly contribute to the group's earnings in the next three years, according to Maybank Investment Bank Bhd (Maybank IB).

Maybank IB said this will be driven by the forthcoming retail mall in Bandar Seri Coalfields (BSC), which is anticipated to act as a catalyst for future project launches and sales.
