Saw the showroom and find it is such a waste they make the 1300sqft with dual key. If they do a proper 3+1 layout i think plenty of people will buy it for their own stay. Maintenance fees is at 0.45 cents!

its compulsory by fire department that end units (where all of the 1300sq units sit) need to have second exit.

but still I would have wished that the layout is better designed.....totally dislike the wrapped around balcony.....you are paying close to 100k for the useless L shape balcony (but gained one extra carpark).

Yes that was told by the sales guy but still i also agree that they can do better in terms of the layout. The area between the kitchen and the 2nd exit door is just weird and yes that balcony is too big and waste of space.

went to visit the showroom last week.

a few observations, and merely my personal opinion:

1. there was a sliding door (sorry cannot remember which part of the unit) which would not be provided in the actual unit. the agent informed us that it would be a hinged door. i felt that was a bit misleading.

2. wardrobes would be provided. but the designs will be entirely different from what was shown in the showroom. agent informed us that she does not know how the wardrobes would look like.

3. they used glasses to separate the master bedroom from the master bathroom. that was also misleading because the actual unit will have walls instead of glasses. so you have to re-imagine the actual layout / space.

4. if you are visiting, you need to ask the floor to ceiling measurements because the showroom did not show the actual height.

having mentioned the above, the overall visit was pleasant.

For those buying their first home -

I booked one unit, applied for loan with the panel banks.. got rejected by all except Affin... the panel bankers do not include international banks or CIMB (easy to approve)

Panel bankers -
Maybank
UOB
PBB
Affin - Offered 70%
RHB
MBSB
Ambank

Besides Affin & RHB.. my experience with the rest of the bankers were extremely bad...

However, long story short... got my booking refunded and I am thankful for it smile.gif

Just bought a unit in OKR.

Basically, while going through the loan process, i was scrutinized or should i say 'roasted' by family members and friends...

1. Getting into a 775k debt (90% loan) for a 9++ sq.ft leasehold condo with 1 car park just didn't make sense to any of them.

2. Location-wise - public transportation isn't available within 1-2km radius (although the agent did say there would be shuttle service to the mrt station near ikea... how much can we trust these agents?)

3. Commercial title - Electric & Water bills would be at a minimum of RM350-400 a month excluding maintenance.
(My personal experience staying in commercial titled studio apartment in Empire Damansara.. I stayed in a 400sq.ft unit - 1AC running 8 hrs a day, 1 small Fridge running 24/7, one electric stove occasionally used, Washer-Dryer combo machine used twice weekly, and TV used 2hrs a day or less cost me a minimum of RM250 + Water bills at RM60 flat rate every month)

4. Roads & Tolls - Access to city centre & back will not be easy during peak hours as the roads surrounding the vicinity are usually jammed up similar to LDP.... if not for the jam, toll costs are something to worry about.

5. Lastly I wasn't too happy about the 5 star hotel/serviced suites on the other block... this would cause alot of short term rentals going on in the condo.. with that being said, there will be alot of wear & tear on the facilities + alot of strangers/unknown people roaming in the common areas...

I would not want to deny that they have done a great job with the planning and have put in alot of thought into the details of the architecture & facilities... kudos to that. However with that being said, it would not be something that a person like me would want to invest in.Bearing in mind that I'm about to get married, make a first home purchase for my own stay, still working 9-5 and not belonging in the high income group.

All that is mentioned above are of my personal opinions/thoughts and if i had said anything that is inaccurate, kindly PM me and i will make the changes. notworthy.gif

Should say that this project will be more suitable for own stay, not much other project can offer forest nature view nowadays. I think it should be freehold status also? but i do agree that lack of eateries nearby and not to mention only 1 carpark being offered are minus points here, ended up i drop my interest at this project too. Anyway glad that u have chosen your dream home thumbup.gif

it is freehold. the electricity bill of ED, if i am understand correctly is the developer con job as it is not direct charge out from tnb to the unit but bill by developer..same to the flat rate of rm60 water bill. Thats why ED is a piece of shit. one cp well with grab n uber...no issue to many nowadays. hotel is good for the condo nowaday if it run well and maintain it..u have hotel dorsett to ensure all your facilities are in good shape if u think from other side. eateries, with EC up, u would have a lot of choice. now if u willing to drive to pj or taman tun nearby..plenty eateries already unless u expect it to be opposite roads n walkable distance. Mayland till now yet to stamp the spa ebenthough many signed monthsss ago.

Agree, hotel will ensure all the facilities in tiptop condition, resort feel all the time..other than that one carpark really not the issue, call uber grabcar more convenient, save time no need spending 20-30mins only look for carpark in one u ikea during peak hour...geohan do the foundation works for this project, they r very famous in micropile in this field
