I have bought a 2000sqft unit also facing the kl metropolis, tower A as well. Not particular on view to be honest as my current condo have a nice view facing klcc and the novelty factor of that has diminished entirely.

Anyways what I like about this condo is:

Pros:
10 minutes drive during rush hour to my workplace at klcc. Immediately goes straight to main road bypassing schools. Going back also takes me 12 minutes if I were to leave at 520pm. Tested this many times.

Also 1.4km walk (25minutes walk) to mrt 2. I may get a Portable bike for that matter. Once mrt 3 at KL metropolis is complete it's going to be only 1km walk!

At 550psf it's really a bargain for proximity to klcc.

Capturing potential upside once segambut is redeveloped.if they manage the commercial lots well , im looking at least another 40% upside on valuation. I've seen this happening with Bistari Condominium and regalia over the past 6 years.

Landscaping is excellent and I hope they don't fall behind expectations.

Cons..

A bit high density upon completion of full phase but if you look at other severely high density projects that are strategically located , prices are still trending higher.

I think you can take a look at YTL capers as a benchmark for trees.. It still looks doable.. But don't think we can expect trees as per brochure.. Lol

I physically walked from The Era sales gallery to Viva condominium (where mrt 2 is) and that took 24 minutes. Also walked from putramas road (where the link bridge is going to be) to the alleged location of MRT 3 at MITEC (matrade) is , that took roughly 15 minutes as its only 700 meters walk. Also walked from sales gallery to the petron station that took 12 minutes.

yes. i left at 7.00am this morning and reached in 10 minutes

last week i left at 7.30 and reached at 7.48.

note timing excludes parking search of course.

yeah but i take the sultan ismail road instead of going through tun razak as traffic less hectic..

I walk to pavilion almost every day from klcc for lunch lol

I guess once the mrts are all up then they would start building those roofed walkways. But even at 9am the weather is just nice.

Location of departure is the alleged link access to putramas

Not my house yet.. Soon to be house lol

Good thing also about the era is there is a front access and back access (putramas link bridge) .so for me going to work (klcc) I can use the back access and going home from work I can take the front access. Unlike most other condos , where I have to make a far turn..

Thoughts? If SA has approached you that is..

My 2009sqft is 2cp side by side

Looking at this condo, looks like it's possible to put bigger trees

What's the new ehailing company called?

they have penthouse as well up to 2800 sqft i think. the one shown in their website are the basic unit floor plans only.

Which level is your car park?

lets stick to this forum for now until completion. easier reference for potential buyers.

why do you favour Era vs SAvio?

can't really compare their previous projects as benchmark. CEO is ex IJM guy which has experience in Klang Valley properties. this is JKG's first venture in KL and i'm sure they would do anything they can to grow their reputation. if this fails, their future projects surely fail one. its a do or die... just my thoughts...
