IMHO, both Park 1 n 2 have their reasons to be cheerful as a buyer. I like Park 1 vs Park 2 due to better orientation n easier to choose, as well as more facilities. Park 2 would be better only for huge units's orientation or facing n the special 9 lifts share by 10 units ( T1 ) n 8 ( T2 ). The risk is only being the record price in BJ and only 1 cp for small unit ( or anything below 1k sq ft )
Agree the layout is ntg special and dull, but for me, it's quite practical but, a lot much better than Skyluxe. If to include The Waltz, I think Waltz layout n sizes win by large margin but if really to choose, I go for Park 1 or Park 2 ( big size or uf small size, tower 2 ) while Waltz 1250 sq ft is excellent for reducing absolute price point compare to 1500 sq ft units available.
The Skyluxe, the view is all based on far view n not many units with short distance view except small units, again, directly facing Anjung Hijau. Skyluxe looks great in facade but layout was killed off by the allocation of more sq ft into balconies to save the construction costs. To sell as high end prop, every sq ft size is critical and it would be mass mistake to throw more than 15-20% of the size into balconies to make the rooms very small n fearful tat the high price thrown by a non any completed project developer was due to near Pav 2 or Recreationaal Park as selling point.
Btw, not many units of Park 2 is available, i prefer Park 2 bcz we can directly choose a unit if which level the car parks allocated. Too bad, 1500 sq ft giving 3 cps but some units, 2 of them still tandem.
To be honest, I like Park 2 (and also Park 1) in comparison to other development such as skyluxe and Waltz.
I am buying at a double premium price. Reason being is that BJC alone is already command a premium price tag compared to others development in BJ. The second premium is because I am buying at almost the last phase of the Park Series, hence one of the highest psf.
But what other development they have in BJ that has such integrated development except Paradigm?
I don't really like paradigm due as the development phase is very much depend on market sentiment, finance of the company with no clear indication of when to build what even though master plan is there. that affect short term investor and probably mid term too. BJC develop the whole almost together hence u know when itwill be completed. thereafter demand depend very much on whether all these are in placed.
also pavilion branding is definitely better than paradigm, even though both are of the same size. people says about jam in BJC. No jam mean no commercial activities. is it a good thing?
the only cons is the missing office and corporate tower in BJC, which is very important for the success of premium lifestyle residence like Park 1 and 2.
