Elmina is marketed as a premium township. Their price is no where cheaper if compare to Rimbayu.
Though- i went around the area and yes- it is large and well planned out. But the execution is below par.

each of the taman is not properly fence up and organized. Well there is fencing but u dont get a pleasant feel. In rimbayu u may see each of the phase properly segregated.

another point is the 70km of cycling track they marketed. Yes- they are buidling the nice fly-over track above the main entrance and let it be their signature. But practically- not many people gonna use that as it will be hell of a climb. it will just be a white elephate.

importantly- around the tracks it is badly maintained- there are cracks, and weeds growing- there are many area being hack off (for underground cable, or water piping) and re-concreted but not nicely done.

this is only just VP- imagine what will happen in years to come. Am sure the town council wont bother so much about such facilities.

The lake is pleasant for now... but again- i doubt it will be properly upkept.

Bandar Rimbayu, phase Swan by IJM and Alam Impian, phase Pandula by SP Setia nett price very close.

Does anyone mind to share your thoughts on the comparison of both products?

Both land size almost same,
AI is freehold BR is leasehold.
Built up area BR is higher than AI by about 300 sqft.
demographic wise BR more chinese AI believe is an average mix of bumi and non-bumi.
AI is shah alam so no night life.

I mostly work in Subang. Distance wise no doubt AI better.

Good point. Well- SD won’t promise to upkeep right ?
Even currently just 2 years first VP and many more phases to be sold- they also don’t bother to upkeep the image to promote sales.

Well- ur point the price based on freehold is valid. Also their previous phases are more or less sold off, even the bumi lot so it make them to be bolder on theirs price.

But in term of value for money.... I personally doubt so. ( of others views are noted and appreciated. )

We already know and are fine with Canal city being LH. The pros outweigh its cons just like other LH places in Klang Valley like Tropicana, Kota Damansara, Bandar Sunway, certain pockets in PJ and Kepong etc.
Location and other factors are more important than the LH, FH factor.

You seem to have a Freehold superiority complex.
Tak habis habis nak discuss this FH Vs LH and how superior your Freehold Alam Impian is. LOL

Your freehold Alam impian is next to the 'longkang besar' Klang river.
Not many people like to live next to 'longkang besar'.
Go and worry about your freehold Alam Impian lah.
In the next 50 years, its value may nose dive due to climate change if nothing is done.

That could be it, "die die also want landed" probably no other reason. I have come to terms that no matter where you stay, still have to wake up early and travel to KL unless buy condo in KL.

I'm a Klangite and also used to the daily commute to KL already. Guess I will just continue to live with it getting a house in rimbayu 🤣.

AI - considerable, but mehhh really slow development and commercial lots aren't promising
Setia alam - Never from that part of klang hence no feeling. Also nkve is twice as terrible as bsp roundabout?? (correct me if I am wrong)
Bukit Raja - industrial area.

Thanks for your opinion 👍. But when you meant specs wise, as in? Rimbayu may not have the amenities like SA yet, but probably in future it could be better than SA?, no?

Wanna ask, once DASH up, will it faster to go Damansara from Rimbayu? As I know, DASH connects from Damansara Perdana to Shah Alarm if not mistaken.

No la . Coz Chinese say 不起眼 punya place

That guy just wanna promote his fast internet without doing research.

we still lack of corporate office tower here... hmmm

Only office space available here is in g257. IMHO, don't think there is a demand for office space here. Unless IJM, Tropicana or Ecoworld want to move any of their offices to canal city. Light industries probably would make more sense in this area to complement all the commercial developments.

Reading thru what is happening in Rimbayu make me wonder is it a good idea to invest there for own stay.😓

Currently staying in Bdr Puteri Klang.

Don't think like that. Some are not even aware of the actual size if the property being sold without a proper showroom. Once vp only realize it's small. Also if it's 18ft price also has to match with it. Example like some projects with 18ft selling starting from 400k. Not taking account of "brand added value". Just considering house size and material used.

agree with you. small unit will produce more unit per area. the place will be too crowded.
With 18ft porch, people will not sacrifice to park the car. they will park outside gate. there will be car parking left and right roadside.
This is individual title, outside your gate is not yours, its free to all to park hahaha..  think twice before make decision.

Too far? Compared to Setia Alam, which is the wiser choice?

Exactly. the only hope is direct access to SKVE (unlikely) and WCE (not sure if that is happening). the most significant improvements they can make would be building flyover on 4 junctions all the way up to KESAS & LKSA interchange and upgrade Jalan Kebun to dual carriageway all the way to Kesas.

Risk taken was that if late handover buyer will be compensated. After signed SPA, terms unilaterally changed by developer and government (always protect cronies). Suddenly no need pay compensation for late handover. Left buyer to bear additional interest.

Ah well. Since msian buyers so understanding and considerate for developer's profit, guess we'll continue to get screwed over la.

And get myself involved in a 5 year legal battle against a listed entity at the mercy of Malaysia's famous fair judicial system? No thanks.

I'm no multimillionaire tan sri or datuk. Just an average joe who's been screwed over.

Fair point. U can't dispute that the whole allowance of delay purely sides the developer at the expense of the buyers though.

Some ppl here seem to think that the buyers alrdy signed up for this when they enter to the SPA which is definitely not the case.
