That time the price of DPC is sibeh high leh... people also sceptical about the success. Those who have the foresight or luckily blind blind buy (BBB ) get the rewards now.

Honestly speaking, since there is a real live model (DPC) for people to study, I think there is no reason why other developers can't replicate the success. I believe in years to come we may see many DPC versions emerge

Boss, once things are pretty much there and if I have a copy of it will pm you.

Just curious - any buyer here for recently open Mellowood Classic Homes?

Repost here the differences btw Mellowood Classic Homes (7A & 7B) and Merrydale (8A and 8C):

1) For the same dimension Mellowood is bigger in size (built-up) and also bigger "usable" area.
2) 7A & 7B master bedroom have "longer" balcony of 8ft whereas 8A and 8C are shorter (I guess around 4ft to 5ft).
3) 7A & 7B kitchen are longer with shorter / smaller yard while 8A and 8C kitchen are relatively shorter with bigger yard.
4) 7A and 7B bedroom 2 & 3 (upstair) have no balcony where as 8A and 8C have. Particularly for 8C, the balcony is joining / accessible between the bedrooms.
5) Due to balcony (which eat into some space), the walk space upstair (between the master bedroom and bedroom 2&3) is smaller for 8A and 8C but larger for 7A and 7B.
6) For 8C, there are 2-walk-up steps to the master bedroom but nil for 7A and 7B.
7) Notwithstanding bigger size (and "usable area") for Mellowood Classic Homes vs Merrydale, absolute price and on per square foot basis it is higher too.

Anyone have further info or sth diff from above?

Hi everyone, Tenderfields 2F buyer reporting here!

Morning! 😎

Cradle & Tender

Tqtq

This is so true, I have same thinking.
Almost all new projects you will hear SA tell you they are like new DPC.
Even if they launch condo also they claim DPC kind of landscape.

Could anyone name any project that could get close to DPC after so many claims, commitment and promises? Just curious.

Perhaps peoples only care No 1 and first? Nobody care about followersssss?

First, we need to analyze why Desa Park city is so successful. We want to learn from the success of this area and should look carefully at what makes the area successful, and then invest in other areas that share these attributes.

Based on this article , http://www.propwall.my/answers/336/desa-pa...0th-anniversary
DPC is successful due to the following factors:
1) Location and the successful rebranding of an unwanted wasteland/quarry mine into a premier location
2) build a master planned development with landed strata units set amidst gardens and parks, with the living area overlooking a garden instead of the car porch and commercial amenities within walking distance.
/creating a sense of place and space, with trees and parks all within a community.
3) biggest price boosters is its commercial area The Waterfront, which comprises a supermarket, eateries, and a clubhouse.
4) provide a safe and secure environment
5) walkability. The community benefits from being able to take a pleasant walk to the shops and schools. Today, the buzzword is sustainability and the green environment.

One may argue that DPC is successful due to location, location, location but the author mentioned that other development nearby DPC but they are not as successful as DPC e.g. Sunway SPK Homes, adjacent to Desa ParkCity, and Villa Manja, both by the Sunway group. Each of them has piggy-backed on the success of ParkCity but they lack the space and amenities available at ParkCity.

The changing face of Malaysian families means that more and more families want to live in a place that is family friendly. This means that they want to live in an area where they can walk their children to school, and they also want to live in an area that offers parks and other amenities for their children to use. In addition, areas that are promising for investment need to be as accessible to major highways.

Regarding your question

'Could anyone name any project that could get close to DPC after so many claims, commitment and promises? Just curious'

It's hard to name one area vs the other. It depends on the individual lifestyle and preference.
I have found mine. I am sure you found yours too

Yup. Just copy and clone a successful model LOL.
We already have many mutants of DPC all over Klang valley lol

can share the 7A & 7B floorplan here for comparison?

so u going to move in after vp?
billing till 2h ady?

Sure but I don't have it with me right now. Late evening / night when back home.

Haha... It seems that the prerequisites of no. 1 to no. 5 you mentioned in your post earlier EM can fulfil too though location is ulu now, through rebounding may change the situation.

Desa Pak Siti... Talking bout desa; Desa Waterpark in Sg Besi also hv a huge masterplan coming up...

Actually i also don't know yet, maybe weekend house.

do Airbnb, earn some $ instead leaving it empty

or there are rules saying that we can't do Airbnb?
