How's everyone feeling with the prospects of this place during this pandemic times...does the appeal of this place seem to have decreased or maintained?
I'm wondering if there's enough demand for the rental since economy is so weak for years to come.

Yeah, good we have time for the economy/tourism to recover before Trion is ready for VP

what comes down must comes up... recovery is a necessary path in economy cycle, the pandemic will only make human being stronger actually

I'm thinking the same. I hope they don't finish building it so fast actually, lol...when is the estimated completion, anyone knows?

True...it's just a matter of whether they can stand the test of time through this cycle. Resilience is built on tough times.

If I look at the longer term, I'm counting on the area to be developed over the time and have higher appeal eventually that will lead to its sustainability. Otherwise, very risky already given the fact that most working professionals and higher income earners are already lesser now for that area.

Since not all owners are active in this thread, can those who are share some insights from the topics of discussions within, that may be beneficial for us all?

My dua sen as a Trion 2 owner:

Trion/Trion 2/One Residence@CSL will greatly benefit from two main things:

1) Bandar Malaysia
2) DBKL's plans to revitalise the area from its current status as industrial area into a commercial/business hub

those two are unfortunately long term things that will heavily depends on government actually following through with their plans 😅 so it'll be difficult without political stability

as far as prospects go there are some potential benefits from the fact that KL CBD is still surviving well and TRX + Menara 118 are both still going to be major places of business for white collar professionals like bank and insurance company employees, who would be attracted to the kind of amenities the above 3 mentioned properties have/will have. Short term rental can also benefit as KL remains a favourite tourist destination, but this is subject to borders reopening.

regardless of whether the offices in KL will be fill up or not, people will still need place to stay near to KL city center or to their office in KL.. majority of business will still focus on KL or KV be it KL city center, bangsar south, PJ or subang.. the only thing that make this place failed totally will be government decide to move the city center away.. lol.. alot of dreams building up for this area... but as what above mentioned, all these cant achieve without political stability..

Food for thoughts, TRX and 118 occupancy in the future, 5-10 years span may not be as ideal as companies are increasingly recognising WFH. Probably still sizeable number of companies may still choose to rent, but for sure the demand won't be as high as before. Same principle goes for all the other offices nearby KL City. I'm just hoping for sustainability in the future, won't even dare to think about appreciation.

And I concur on the future development plans by Gov. If they decide to screw the long term visions, then we're toast. But given the interests at stake with these developers and more, probably Gov will think twice before going back on their commitments, fingers crossed.

Sustainability should be ok, even as big companies work to make WFH more viable, there's still a need for centralised offices because honestly, there's still an image thing XD CEOs from massive corps would still like their nice big offices especially if they're from "conservative" industries like O&G and finances. Petronas, BSN, PBB, OCBC, GE, HSBC, Prudential, Affin etc. aren't going to abandon their HQs in KL so easily haha especially when these buildings are often landmarks themselves

I do believe that there's a decent chance to beat inflation at the very least hahahaha

Yeah, I'm honestly betting on that "image" thing to make sure they keep the need of having a presence for brand building. It's not cheap to spend money on keeping the office ops going, lol

I'll take it that most of the owners here are set in keeping this for 10 years, lol

At this price range most probably have to wait a decade to appreciate people won't pay SPA price even after VP with our current economy.

Progress seems good for Trion buyers

Not so much on image, but it really depends on the management's (and employee's) view on work arrangements regardless if it's a local company or a foreign MNC plus other factors as well. I've known acquaintances working for companies that insist on employees to continue reporting to work during MCO 2.0 and they provided interstate travel letters for this and there are those who are fortunate enough to work for companies that prioritise WFH from the start of the 1st MCO until now.

Then there are individuals who still prefer returning to work either because they prefer socialising and working in an office setup, their current accommodation isn't conducive for WFH or for other reasons.

My take is that larger corporations and MNCs may move to a hybrid physical and WFH arrangement in the long run, but for local corporations where the management still want to keep an eye on their employees and had the need to randomly prompt them for urgent matters, well, I don't see them embracing WFH anytime soon.

Not many companies willing to invest in the technology for WFH arrangements. A lot money has to go to build a robust cloud and security, especially if sensitive data and finances involved. Then there's the need for employees to have a steady internet connection, which isn't always possible even in middle of KL because our telcos s u c k 🤣🤣🤣

Many Malaysians unfortunately aren't that IT savvy too, especially if they didn't grow up learning the technology, so need time and money to train them.

For the most part smaller companies especially it's too expensive to justify the difficulty of keeping profits consistent, at least in current environment.

Still got units available for purchase?

Any buyers WhatsApp group?

Yes bro, still got available units but very limited now. Dm u

I'm just thinking, is there a delivery system for parcels/food for those in super high floors? I can't imagine taking lifts to go up and down each time *gasps*

doubt it

let's pray that by the time VP, it's a pandemic free era + maybe delivery drones are commonplace haha

So I tried walking from Trion site to Chan Sow Lin LRT, the only possible route is through Jalan Satu - CSL, where you need to walk through this underpass with no lighting. No proper pedestrian zebra crossings either. 10 mins walk.



Since they have < 10-20 units available, I guess it still sold very well, how many buyers have tried walking to LRT station themselves?

Me 😅 Tested during my Trion/Trion 2 survey. Also drove by this path at night. There's SOME lighting from streetlights, but still dark. It's walkable but not luxurious walkable LOL. Still better than some places, no zooming traffic *cough* rn osc@r *cough* but I suspect this area will be one of the first to get improvements once MRT2 complete since MRT2 station is nearby, off to the right on your pic. Not gonna bet on it tho.

Trion does have a dedicated shuttle van, so I guess that offsets the concern about lack of lit pedestrian pathways.
