can't remember the launching price.. below 600k maybe. I think around that number 20% occupancy rate. Didn't check thoroughly on the rental rate but heard around 1.6k for intermediate.

1 - FH vs LH sampai mati pon tak habis discuss. You bought for investment maybe FH better you bought for own stay maybe both also ok. Depending on the purpose why you buy, different people different answer

2 - Address is TPG, Saujana Putra also TPG. True MDKL have their own shortcomings but which local govt don't? Today bad forever will be bad then no people will venture to new place la.

3 - Real TPG is far far away. Actual location is more S.Alam than TPG. Even snail mail go to S.Alam post office. It was dubbed as S.Alam 2.

4 - McD is 7km la, 10km la.. this is exactly like "your house to KLCC" when you don't even work in KLCC. Food wise there are lot of choices throughout KK, abundance of pasar malam, Saujana Putra also quite near when using the Saujana Link

5 - Puchong? cannot answer this as I don't know Puchong or even go there for anything.

6 - You buy a house because of your needs and preference. Some people choose here because near to workplace, near to parent's house etc. If your priority is FH and willing to go buy even far from your office etc then just go la. Some people have other things on top of the list rather than FH or LH. Why the hate bro?

Someone posted the bestest of canal city

I just provided some alternative views...

Many people say canal city deep inside no where. But if you look into very detail, the location is quite strategic. Here some facts for reference (only)

1. Canal city is actually 3km always from Kota Kemuning. Some KK resident also stay very further inside the KK which is 4km away from mcd, so extra 3km is not really a big deal

2. Canal city is very near to Puchong. From the traffic light junction to brand new millenia city puchong, is actually 10km away and 5km away from Puchong Prima. Is that far enough?

3. Canal city to MMU cyberjaya entrance is actually 18km, and 37km to KLIA metropolis, 24km to ioi city mall.

4. Canal city not under shah alam address, some people think not under shah alam like dont have premium address. But in facts is, not under shah alam mean commercial have very less restriction on entertaiment license.

5. In term of highway connection, there are Elite and SKVE (both access through Saujana Putra which is around 5km away). In future, there will be WCE. Connectivity wise, it is good  biggrin.gif

6. Which area like canal city that will developer by big 4 developer at a same time with target medium to high level folks.

7. SRJK school, 2 international school, 1 special needs school and a MAHSA university effect.

8. Matured amenities is nearby, not to worry even though is a newly developed area, not like neighboring township hardly to find a good shop.

9. huge public park 85 acres with 7km jogging trail.

10. broadband ready, noneed to wait 1-2 or more years to apply when u move in to new area.

You know long sighted mean you cant see what in front of you rite?

Investment is about which product makes u the most money...and i guess nobody knows in this case...

Maybe can have view like below,

2018-2019,

2 big club house will be running, 2 international school will be running, about 200++ shop lot will be running, half of 7km big lake river will open (It's malaysia biggest lake in book records).
- no people go club house, no kids go study international school, no shop open, no people walk in big river..
OK. then canal city will dead
-If IJM Rimbayu fail, and accidently Tropicana Aman fail, and very unlucky Eco Sanctuary fail, and very bad coming soon Gamuda fail.
OK. then canal city will dead and 4 developers having bad portfolio project.
Bun my own feel, this area will be the next city hub also, because the 3 developers allocate big plot for commercial purpose too and education too. Also believe it will be next for Kota Kemuning residences having activities there.

I think some misunderstanding... I do not think TA+BR+ES+Gamuda will be end like up like ghost town like Bukit Beruntung...

From investors POV, it is all about ROI and how quickly you get it. Some forumner said 20-30years with reference to BU etc... Do you aware that at initial years of BU the cap gain is not great?

Township take time to mature and if you subscribe to Life Cycle Product philosophy sometimes the best time to buy is not the beginning but when growth is picking up. For example investors who bought Setia Alam during 2009-11 made much more money compared to 2006-2008.

My 2 cents.

The 'pro' is saying he hold another view on canal city,  with partial unreal fact or fact that not actually related, lol...
When people are pointing out other fact or correction on his so call fact, he turn out to say canal city die hard fans, and so on on on on.
On the other hand i have not seen or saying that canal city will be as great as bla bla bla...

1 thing i learn from these guys, they will use all their imagination to atttackkkkkkk, be it real or fake, purely just to atttttttakkkkkkkkkkk on whatever they dont like or cant get ? (Maybe)

Every vested party just put the food where the mouth is. Few years ago the Setia Alam thread the investors were singing song how great the Setia Alam township is. Even a mall considered as game-changer of the township and newbies are advised to buy before the mall completed otherwise the property prices may escalated further.

After divested the properties, all these investors no more noise and sound already. 

IMO even there is a planned commercial area, that does not guarantee the place will get prosper, still depends if it is tenanted, even if tenanted, what kind of tenant. i think this is purely depends on luck.

A good mall will prosper the area, yes. affecting the price around, ermmmm .... not major but by a little IMO.
but there are always some buyers buy because there are  a mall there discussion ongoing in the thread KK vs Setia Alam

in term of ROI you are talking about, dont think in property nowadays we cant get any fast/high ROI like previous bullish year.

+1

Just look at most newly vp-ed properties... not easy to flip/ fill in these properties.

Freehold vs leasehold? I am staying in a bungalow at section 5 PJ bought some 40 years ago at RM80,000. Now, it is valued at more than a million with 50+ years of lease to go.

IOI city mall during construction, everyone said is middle of no way. Look how happening is it today.

But still have appreciate.

Example perennia 660k now selling at least 720k, very little.

Believe phase 3 onward more people will stay in as most are own stayer.
