Can share further why you didn't have interest in this project given advantages in the thread?
Any hints on homework done until such conclusion is made?
If the other project is better than this, can share what is less preferred if compared to the other...
Thx...
Although it is close to HSR, I don't see it as a major point. Still not walking distance and have to take bus/taxi/Grab. Also, HSR is intercity/country, which I don't think people will take on a regular basis. I don't think people will travel daily from KL-Singapore on a daily routine. I could be wrong, but that's just my opinion then again. Last but not least, there is still no significant indication of a major milestone in the development of the area. Recall, Bandar Malaysia first surfaced 6 years back! Up to today, we are still at the planning stage with no on-site construction. Will it take off this year, next year, 5 years or maybe it will never? I don't know. But time will tell.
Travelling back in time to 1995, below are 2 mega projects
1. KLCC Twin Towers - RM4bil mixed development, twin towers, Maxis tower, ExxonMobil Tower, shopping centre, public park
2. Plaza Rakyat, Pudu -RM1.4bil multi-modal transport terminus and commercial and residential project in the heart of the capital. The original plans comprised a 79-storey office tower, 46-storey condominium, 24-storey hotel and 7-storey shopping centre.
I guess everyone knows the current outcome of both mega projects. One is well thriving and is considered as the heart of KL while the other is still abandoned, despite the multiple efforts throughout the years to revive it.
Instead, I have opted for M Vertica at Cheras. More expensive, but walking distance to existing LRT station. From that LRT station, its only 2 stations away from TRX. TRX isn't completed yet, but at least its underway and the office tower is targeted for completion end of this year (upon completion, it will be the tallest building in Malaysia. Yes, taller than the Petronas Twin Towers. Then again, its still WIP and could be abandoned. No one can read the future, remember?)
Price is more expensive too for M Vertica. Oh well, let's all just hope for the best in whatever we invest in and worry less. God willingly, we will all prosper.
