at 700psf, why not top up n buy SV2? here apa pun takda.

I recall its just commercial lots, not a mall.

As for the shuttle bus, the SAs I've met didn't really elaborate on whether non-residents will use it or not.


It'll be interesting if those service centres give a 1/2 nights inclusive stay at Mercure for those whose cars are involved in a major accident as part of the repair package.

This is the first time I've heard of a hotel serving the residential portion of a project. Can't really imagine the JMB seeing an invoice from Mercure detailing the service charge rendered just to some residents/guests in the residential blocks.

I'm sure they will opt to put a stop to such services if the charges are unreasonable such as cutting the direct line to Mercure.

To ban airbnb or not is not within the authority of developer.

Pls dun all listen bulat bulat from agent or developer.

Its either blue sea stragety or red sea strategy

Why would jmb received bill from mercure?

Whoever that ordered the food pay lah......

And why would anyone order from mercure? Food panda and grab eat susah mati ah?

U mean southgate??

It is a mini mall??? I never feel its a retail shoppez....dun say its a mini mall.

Heard there’s very lil unit left in Trion.. is this true? Hot selling cakes?

is it just me or 66 floors is too much?

JMB wouldn't pay, it's just an additional option that you can order from Mercure if you're into that sort of thing. So yes, whoever that orders the food, pays for it as it is, lol
Those food deliveries options...that's true too. Valid point, haha
Fair statement. Though I must add that coming from the angle of how this property is being projected/sold, they advocate for Airbnb alot as part of rental strategy, so naturally no one will ever think of this place as purely only own stay without existent of Airbnb. Thus, very small owners would object to Airbnb or else all will get impacted. Again, purely feel good factor, agree that anything can happen.

If it did, I'm sure Binastra would've announced it on fb or showed a newspaper clipping of such achievement dy.

So far, I didn't come across such news on fb or print/electronic media which means there must still be quite a number of available units there.

Ya, for whatever it's worth, most prime units facing KLCC view have been taken up completely.

I used to think so too, but on the other angle, investment-wise, there will be people who loves super high rise, awesome city view based on own reasons. Besides, this works cuz it's in city centre (or close to), capital city of Malaysia, not areas further away where it won't make any sense. You'll have higher chance to attract foreign buyers based on this unique selling point. For us locals, we probably couldn't care less (kinda like how Arabs won't be bothered with Burg Khalifa as well).

yeah - true. it all comes down to mentality whether for own-stay or investment purpose.

I'm sure it'll take a while for the area to develop. Warehouses and small factories might move out slowly, but it also depends on the owners. Those car showrooms and service centres will stay put for years to come.

You can take PJ SS13 as one example of an industrial area slowly being converted into commercial and high-rise projects. It took many years for it to change and only now, you're seeing commercial and residential high-rises (e.g. Jaya One, Atwater, Ryan & Miho, Pacific Star, PJ Midtown) under con there. Even so, there are still a few factories and service centres scattered around the area.

As for staying there, you'll have to share the road with trailer lorries carrying newly-assembled vehicles or containers if you're commuting to work and leisure via car even if you minus out the construction equipment going in and out of the MRT2 project site once the latter is completed. I used to work around Jln Segambut and saw many such lorries going in and out on a daily basis. Some of them even park at the side near The Era's project site in the mornings while waiting for the Tan Chong plant there to open. Those staying at both the Era and Riana Dutamas will have to put up with this on a daily basis.

its S13 (sekysen 13) and not SS13 (Sub Sekysen 13). SS13 is at Subang Jaya.

the S13 took more than 15 yrs to be what its today. Not 5 yrs, not 10 yrs. Same with Sg Besi. Its still lack of light train services within walking distance which is a big turn off for me. All the newest projects, not doing that well in term of subsale and rental and Airbnb......my simplest analysis.

doesn't matter how one feels....

Tropicana gardens, rite in front of MRT station and shopping mall, havenly made for Airbnb, I believe 70% of owners are investors, for block A n B, then what? JMB banned kau Airbnb.

M city, another example of jmb ban kau Airbnb, despite lelong units left right and center.

lastest case - Robertson, straight cut project for Airbnb, how now? investors kicked out Airbnb operator...…

if you are ownstay, trust me, you don't want to see Airbnb guests loitering around your building and don't tell me there aren't any ownstayers bought this project.

beside, nobody can predict what gov will implement on Airbnb 5 years from now.

Oops, didn't know its called 'S', not 'SS'.

Thanks for the clarification.

They kicked out AirBNB operator but did not ban AirBNB isn't it?

M City, TG and all those places after the ban still have AirBNB isn't it?

Just got to know ~900 units taken up out of ~1200 units.

Walking distance to lrt/mrt is important.
They do provide shuttle bus service to compensate the far distance from lrt/mrt station. But i wonder the shuttle bus service can sustain onot..

Airbnb operator told me once theh had 20+ units now downed to 2 only (tis was few months back). - TG

without operator who has the time to do airbnb? Owners ah? Why they didnt do tis in the 1st place? - robertson.
