15k ish would be a more ideal figure. HOC is not feasible since you have to pay for 10% downpayment...don't think anyone needs to go down that route unless you have too much money to burn upfront. Just take it that the rebates help to cushion your impact 4 years later.

Indeed, not many units left after the news came out. I won't waste time yapping further, if need additional discount on top of their soon-ceasing rebates (not just referral which is probably only hundreds), you can PM me. If got trust issue, don't bother since I'm just extending my help to connect

The other projects are not qualified for HOC, if you check HOC website, you'll see there's only two under KL, of which Trion is one of them. My guess is the other projects are not HOC, but marketed as such, so it's misleading. Anyway, I won't be going for others, so didn't research further. Good luck for those getting them.

Updated as of 19th April, 14 projects now. Few weeks ago, 2.

What's there for me to kid about, just check it yourself since it's there for everyone to see if they're not lazy to Google.

Wow, not bad, congrats!

Sent you a PM

Facing Bandar Malaysia.
The cheapest available is 608k (level 40) to 648k (highest floor 65) for Block A. Block B may have slightly cheaper ones. Before rebate (10+4%) price, but the +4% ends this 31st May.

If this tickles your fancy and you wish to explore further, you can PM me.

The view at high floors. There will be people wanting to get panaromic view of KLCC, KL Tower, The Exchange 106 and PNB118.

Location, it's near to KL city centre, not right smack which is good cuz there are way too many condos already and quite congested. Plus, it would be too expensive anyway if it's in that vicinity. Bandar Malaysia revival is a plus point cuz it serves as a decent alternative rather than the ones within BM itself, like RC Residences...too constipated in my opinion.

Pricing, Trion is competitively priced for its location that's not far away from city centre, and nearby most of the new landmark buildings (one can only hope there's more companies moving into them), with 70% furnishings, which to me more people working in that area are able to own/rent. I can remember a 800sqft high floor sells for ~680k after rebates. But I'm surprised many had taken up lower floors too although there's little view, perhaps they're way cheaper to resist (~500k entry price).

Developer, it's Binastra Land's flagship project...they should, fingers crossed, build to their highest standards and care

One can debate about many pros and cons to this project, but in my humble opinion in front of all masters here, just buy if you feel good about it - or look elsewhere if you're not convinced. It's extremely hard to predict what happens in the next few years. The light industrial areas may be relocated...or end up staying. People are convinced with surroundings areas' development, like how Sunway Velocity 2 performed eventhough they're more expensive with bare units.

From what I recalled as told by SA...no prohibition as developer expects Trion to cater alot for tourists, short termers and thus, Airbnb is allowed. The residents can also use Mercure's room service as in ordering of foods to be sent to them (eventhough they're not hotel guests).

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.

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).

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

Actually, there are alot of valuable feedbacks and comments in the previous pages...you'll gain insights if you would refer back to them as the key points have been listed before.
Trion has equal pros and cons as you read through...can say it's equal in my opinion.

No need to listen to people, just do your own fact findings and see if it matches your financial capability.

That's alot that I haven't heard of...the only others I know is GuestReady.

Malaysians...sigh, own people can be one of the worst, huh..
What's the worst experience from Mudah that you've got? You know we like stories, lol

I don't know why some Malaysians mentality is like that.
I'm renting and I treat the place like my own, always clean up, never whack anything in the house.

When you're a landlord, you want your tenants to be nice to your property also, right?

I think it's weird how people would prefer to be near wet market, and some prefers to be away from it.
Some likes be next to retails, some dislikes it. Ultimately all personal preference. For me, I'm glad it's away from Pudu since I don't like that area for certain reasons.

But hey, 4 years to completion, god knows what's gonna happen then, lol

Actually, walkalator or not, that's something not under Trion's care. All you have is just a covered walkway at most.

Also, shuttle bus is free for first two years only.

And if they do have anything fancy like that, you think they'll still sell their property at this affordable entry price? Of course not.
So you can't have everything perfect for you.

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.

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?

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.

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
