I don't think you have that issue at Parque. Besides, Parque has been VP'ed for a while now.
Any land settlement issue will be very clear to you or your home inspector as you walk around the building.
Anyway, land settlement issue is not isolated to Canal city.
Many other townships have the same issue too when they first started including Subang, Puchong, Setia Alam, etc.
In Canal city, we know it affect a few houses at Bandar Rimbayu Chimes.
Good luck shopping for your new home.
Yea, I've been doing some research on land settlement issue. You're right, it is not isolated to Canal City and have affected the other areas you mentioned.
By right, developer should wait for the land to settle for around 10yrs before development especially on softer plantation or mining land. But nowadays, developers would just develop.
Apparently EW did soil treatment (i think it is called CBT) on the land before development. Not sure how true is that. For this, they'll install tubes on the land to draw the water out from the soil. Then they'll pump cement into it to strengthen the soil. This technique was used in Changi Airport.
I did also ask some contractors about this. He said typically, developer would just replace the soft soil with a harder ones.
