GRR scheme usually means there's problems selling off property and they're trying to entice foreign or naive investors by promising GRR income

Issue is that GRRs are gambles and income from GRR is not as guaranteed as the name implies tongue.gif

PropertyGuru link on GRR

Unfortunately Serene is sort of...not that interesting, for investment. It's more for ownstay but at that price point is very inaccessible to most local people and honestly got better properties with better location for RM700+ psf

Yep, I agree, Serene’s GRR is not appealing, honestly. It comes with a lot of terms & conditions and it reduces the amount of rebate available, so your entry price becomes high.

I honestly don’t know why there’s GRR scheme in serene, as serene is definitely not for rental and investment.

I chose serene because it’s not that appealing for investors, want to stay peacefully without Airbnb, rental occupants, students, foreigners, etc around.

And yeah, there are a lot of other more properties at more accessible location at RM 700+ psf, which means more people would go there, less people going for serene - which again, it’s a plus point for serene for me.

Heck, you can even get something in sunway south quay at RM 700+ psf, and you’d get a real subway address.

So far the people I see going for serene are mostly families/older families, haven’t really seen much investors/for rental type of people.

Yea like as an ownstay place it's kinda like Desa ParkCity Lite Edition, landscaping and planning nice, remote enough for privacy but not too inaccessible to areas like schools malls highways etc.

I think Serene's problem is that it IS a DPC lite but not that cheap 😅 ppl who like DPC but can't pay DPC premium have these days plenty to choose from (Kepong/Titiwangsa there got several lakefront properties) and the RM550k to RM800k price point is hugely saturated not just with new properties but with subsales/auction units.

Serene really is more for diehard PJ lang 😂

Actually kinda agree on this. Want to stay in peace without "outstanding" rental/airbnb people.

Ya, there’s a lot of choices at serene’s price point.

But kepong/titiwangsa all its quite far from serene, so if your location is around that area, obviously serene won’t be the choice.

I work at sunway, and my fiancé works at kepong, so serene’s location is kind of a compromise between our working location.

Really, serene is not for everybody, and yeah, it’s expensive. That is a plus point to me, but it also could be a negative point to others.

Have to see if Sunway really want to do a proper township in that area, since they're so busy with acquiring land these days tongue.gif /jk But Sarena Cheah's philosophy has always been geared towards integrated township, so they'll park medical centres near their big malls and build high-rises in the same area, then digitise the area with free wi-fi etc. so they'll likely continue to expand and develop the neighborhood at the very least.

If got 850+k can explore subsale condo in SSQ. But access to good food is slightly closer in Serene. Highway access I give SSQ since can easily access npe with low jam to KL.

A lot of it is banking on Sunway's big name haha, and it's definitely a worthwhile project for own stay if you like the branding and assurance of Sunway's generally decent township management. And as population grows older there's a bigger want and demand for this kind of township where "peaceful" and "nature friendly" leisure and enrichment are near residential areas.

A lot factor in play at the moment 1stly the land is leasehold which is difficult to convert to freehold due to land ownership

2nd to convert to freehold another matter is the park and commercial area phase 2 which will be doubt as oversupply in the surrounding areas

3rd land across is still under light industrial which would be dampener unless the FTZ is redeveloped as new mix commercial and residential which a huge undertaking since early 2010s

Sarena philosophy doesn’t work here unless the light industrial area to be converted as educity with connectivity to KTM and BRT for growth rclxms.gif

Very true! Really have to see how they wanna invest in the area IF they wanna even invest. Serene is a bit of an odd spot in its current location, but that might work to its advantage for the residents XD it's still a decent choice for landed ownstay, without going too far away from PJ or being too expensive.

Saw their ads for 1.6k per month. Is that true? I'm eyeing for own stay at the moment.

Pretty awesome. But I did observed they used quite some metal railings from ground up to car parks and degraded overall aesthetic.

which is quite true for during 2017-2019 period. Now the pick up rate is much higher with some types in tower b all sold out and they now opening bumi units in tower a

WD land could be a big factor but if they get its then the entire place would be like a mini township because they already acquired the land besides it (Sunway Serene XPark)

Also it seems that the land previously supposed to be Datum In-City seems to have some land clearing and a sales gallery is being built up. https://melatiehsan.com.my/projects/pj-incity/
