QUOTE(hihihi080808 @ May 25 2023, 09:42 PM) overall build quality is okay. my unit got some defects i just submitted so see how it goes. but i realised alot unit no privacy due to them putting windows in the hallway rather than concrete up the whole thing like tropicana gardens did. at this price range i expected more privacy. for example the 2 bed 2 bath units the yard can see from the hallway. i thought only cheap condo do this. so ppl from hallway can see u do laundry. and the second bedroom in the unit face the other second bedroom in the other 2 bed 2 bath across from you so if in room 2 i feel no privacy at all. even in type g the most expensive unit the yard can see from the hallway. paying over 1 million for this unit not to even have basic privacy to go about doing ur house chores. for type c also quite bad as their yard is directly facing the rubbish bin room. right across from yard is the windows of the rubbish bin room. if the rubbish room smelly maybe the smell can go into type c from their yard and the smell go into the kitchen from yard and in the end house become smelly. and from hallway can look into their kitchen so ppl can see you cook. ofc i know rarely will have ppl in the hallway walking thru as the units mostly tucked into the corner. at type c area only have two other units so not many ppl will see into ur kitchen but still at this price point i would want total privacy. not sure about other unit yard but for type a and c is very small i doubt can even hang clothes. type b yard i think doable to hang clothes but need motorised hanger. floor space too small to buy the standing plastic thing to hang clothes so must need hang on ceiling but too small to keep a ladder so must have motorised hanger. facilities they did nice. everything looks nice but only time can tell if they will maintain it well and if the material quality they use stand the test of time. they also have herbs garden so can take what u want and use it in ur cooking. i also like the fact they got 4 EV charging stations but i feel maybe too little. for now maybe okay but in the next 10 years maybe not? guardhouse entrance very big and got total 6 lanes at guardhouse 3 going in 3 going out of which 4 will be for residents. this would reduce the jam going back home. but the private road they do leading up to the condo i think gonna be very jam during peak hour bc will have ppl not even live there would use it as well to try and cut some jam. after enter entrance greeted with very nice green scenery. the parking ramp got 4 in total. 2 up 2 down. the parking ramps at the back is normal sized but the ones at the front i like the fact at the turns that made the width alot wider. this allows big cars like alphard to go into parking very easily. got one access card for lift and doors and one for car. i think better use rfid for car so when go in dont even need take card and stick ur hand out for gate to open. hopefully over time they will switch to rfid.  Beside the facilities, aren't the layout are already clear cut at the showroom?

Someone mentioned rfid for car access. Some condos have implemented number plate recognition and it works seamlessly

Don’t know if I’d want an enclosed corridor. Rather have the ventilation and light. No need to be so paranoid of your immediate neighbours as you’re buying into an apartment complex anyway. Maybe 2 or 3 occupants may pass your hallway unless you’re hot la and ppl wanna take candid pics of u. This post has been edited by Cavatzu: May 26 2023, 11:55 AM

On the whole, the design is up to expectations for Sunway and gives confidence to some of their projects in the pipeline. Can see the effort level and thoughtfulness in the facilities design, landscaping and furnishing. There’s no empty tiled areas like some other developers at this price point.
Unit materials are on the blander side and don’t exactly scream luxurious but fine for own stay. Can see many happy people using the facilities which is a plus.

That's good, this is a reputable developer, means can trust in its future projects Most people there are owners ? Age range ? Older with adult kids, younger with babies, young couples?

Older with adult kids, younger with babies, young couples? Broad assumption but from Jack’s video it looks like Chinese millennials who are mid career or starting their families. The PJ location appeals to that demographic. The bigger units suit more established Gen X/baby boomers. Reputable developers can still be very cheap skate or just don’t deliver properly.

The largest units Type H and Type G you cant see the yard from hallway. Also hallway to Type H, E and D will be fully enclosed. You can also opt to close up your yard with windows. Need to re-check your facts. This post has been edited by puffyballzzz: May 27 2023, 07:38 PM

In the review video, someone knocked down the wall of the yard and looks like they are extending the kitchen out. Also, didn’t realise that Serene doesn’t have kitchen included as the more recent sales projects have it. This post has been edited by Cavatzu: May 28 2023, 06:42 AM

Sounds like quite bad privacy for an expensive condo.
