Yet its still 1km away...

The only other option to reach there is via the shuttle bus provided by the developer, similar to what UOA did for Bangsar South and Ba Sheng for Avara Seputeh, but that's it.

I remember hearing from a colleague a few years back that DBKL had plans to relocate all the industries out of KL like what I mentioned previously. Based on what I saw in Segambut and this area, I don't see these warehouses, workshops, factories, service centres, etc. are in a hurry to do so.

Thanks, but I already saw the info on fb, and someone here also posted the link to it.

Not bad. Gonna pay a visit to it on one day. Heard that the showroom will be ready within this week or next week.

I've got my own reasons, but of course I won't just simply jump the gun without comparing it to other projects under my consideration.

Probably this coming weekend. Wasn't able to come this weekend coz of a family gathering.

Well, if you look at the latest render on Binastra's fb page, the Mercure hotel portion will be the closest to the cemetery, with their leftmost corner units being able to see it on the left/right (depending on its facing). Then the left residential block will have the upper floor corner units (left/right depending on facing) that are bound to see it on one side. Can't really tell by much until you see the actual sales chart and the show units.

Planning to go there this coming weekend to get a better idea.

If those factories emitting smoke move out, then that's great. The Kamco plant near Damai Residence dy did so, but the rest are still around. Not sure about those warehouses, tho.

As long as there are 3S automotive service centres and car showrooms around, plus the warehouses and workshops, do expect heavy vehicles to move in and out during the regular working hours.

Yeah, I also just got back from viewing the sales gallery last Saturday. The place is still undergoing the final touches outside, tho, but I can confirm that it is open for viewing. Quite a lot of 3rd party agents on attending to the customers inside with only one Binastra staff there.

The rebates is 10% and 4% cashback, in which the latter will only be disbursed upon VP. Price is RM 680/sf onwards. Maintenance fee is RM 0.33/sf.

I'll say its not bad, considering how close it is to the city for the price, but the surroundings leaves a lot to be desired. I'll say its much better than Damai's side of the area, tho.

But as I said again, do expect a long walk to the nearby CSL station (soon to be MRT2 interchange) if you plan to take public transport to/from work or other activities.

More like the type of shuttle bus UOA uses to connect certain places (e.g. Nexus, Connexion) in Bangsar South to the University/KL Gateway LRT station. Frequency is 30 mins, depending on traffic conditions.

I was told that the maintenance fee is RM 0.33/sf (which includes that shuttle bus). But I do agree with you that in a few years time after a JMB is formed, that transport will be the first to be cut. Not sure which current condo/service residence provides this type of shuttle bus, tho. The closest I can think of is Avara Seputeh and Pantai Sentral Park where their shuttle bus goes to both MidValley and KL Sentral (only for the PSP one).

Forgot to reply to this. The agent is from GPlex Realty. And a lot of their agents are there.

I just simply walked in and one of them attended to me.

The below is the package (copied and pasted by remark from the previous page(s)):
But I agree with amduser that it doesn't look like a decent area to call home atm, especially with the small roads and the myriad of heavy vehicles going in and out. Not to mention that this is an industrial area.

Not sure 5 years down the line if the surroundings will change, but I really doubt all the factories, car service centres, etc. will be relocated by then. Some might, but not all.

And what about those hawkers near to Southgate and in front of this project? Will they be relocated as well? I still see a lot of cars parking outside of both Southgate and this project's site regardless if its a weekday or weekend. That means the unit owners/tenants who are forced to park their extra car outside are bound to face these once this project is complete and they start moving in.

66 storeys, wo...

Even Duta Park also mentioned 5 years according to the Malton sales staff who attended to me early last year. Also around 60+ stories.

It's warehouse-looking building next door to the Peugeot 3S/service centre there.

If you have waze, you can search for it. You can find it there as I have tried it myself and saw it with my own eyes.

Still considering between this project, SkyMeridien and Sunway Velocity Two.

But I admit that the layout design is much better compared to SV2, tho. Just that you'll have to walk for some distance to reach the CSL LRT/MRT2 interchange station, tho (assuming that you missed the shuttle van, that is).

I thought the layouts for the Skyworld projects are quite decent from what I've seen from Bennington, SkyMeridien and SkySierra. The juliet doors/windows that are offered in their showrooms and available in the actual units is quite a novel idea.

But yeah I agree that their location isn't fantastic. SkyMeridien is near the Sentul Timur LRT station but surrounded by flats and squatters, SkySierra had a oxidation pond nearby and the SkyArena master development which Bennington is sitting on isn't exactly near any public transport and close to a frequently jammed Jln Genting Klang.

Out of the 3, I'd rather go for SkyMeridien, but the above reasons left me with reservations about the overall project.

The below is what I'm talking about. Picture is taken from the Bennington show unit, btw.



Went and did a quick search on Google and found that it is called Juliet balcony. You're right about that.

Maybe the sales staff was coached on the wrong term, I think...

I'd like to see how they perform against SV2 Phase 1 since their psf pricing is nearly similar to each other.

Just the layout is more symmetrical compared to SV2, and the size is bigger, but other than that, SV2 had the upper hand in the connectivity to the LRT/MRT stations and the surrounding for the latter is much better compared to this project.

I may have dropped interest for TRION, but out of the three (this project, RC and Damai), I'd choose the former over the latter two. The surroundings for the latter two looks more dilapidated and dodgy compared to TRION's.

And for this project, there is a proper pathway, albeit uncovered, towards the CSL LRT and MRT2 interchange and the surroundings is better looking as you have Southgate above and a few car showroom/service centres nearby. Alternatively, you can take a shuttle bus to and back from that interchange.

Even if it's 50%, I really doubt that all of them would suddenly queue at one time at the stop just to go to the CSL station. There will be those who prefer to walk there and those who start work at different hours or prefer to commute via car to work/other purposes.

I know of an acquaintance staying at Scenaria, a 981 unit project, and she didn't encounter long crawls out of the condo during working hours.

The Landmark @ KL City? Based on the official site details, it's in Jalan Imbi. Quite some distance away from this project, so no worries about it blocking the view.

I recall seeing a hoarded up plot of land with the Debao Property covering on it right next to Berjaya Times Square whenever you enter the city from Jalan Kampung Pandan. I wouldn't be surprised if it's The Landmark @ KL City.

You're right on this, however, if you did pay their sales gallery a visit, you can see that they put a huge cutout of the HOC campaign snippet from The Star propped on an easel.

So either they're part of the HOC campaign or their application to REHDA is still under review.

Not really surprised, to be honest. But at least under this campaign, buyers don't have to pay the stamp duty and MOT for this project.
