Having been a BSS resident for about 5 years. I'm kinda getting sick reading all the fake highlights about this project by irresponsible property agents. I get calls every week by agents who probably got my number from the developer themselves, as usual i pretend to be someone who is not aware BSS even exist and play on with the phone call. This is how a typical agent call would sound like.

Agent : Hello I'm calling from property marketing agency (They usually don't introduce their names as well they don't know the name of the person they are calling)

Me : Ok.

Agent : Have you heard of this NEW Mega Project located south of Klang Valley?

Me : Oh south Klang Valley ! Putrajaya/Cyberjaya isit?

Agent : Yes, its very close to Putrajaya/Cyber with the upcoming highway project under construction. (Yea rite, been hearing about 12 new highway project since I signed my SPA some 7years ago)

Me : Very close you mean 5-10mins drive isit? (FYI it takes a good 45mins to reach Putrajaya/Cyber)

Agent : Yes 5-10mins to the highway access (like duh, lets get straight to the point shall we)

Me : Ok so where is this project?

Agent : This Mega Project is near to KLIA (again not telling me the place ~ FYI KLIA itself is 30mins from Sendayan, I know as i work in KLIA and live in Sendayan )

Me : Mr..... whatever your name is, how about you tell me straight where is the location of this house you are trying to propose to me. Stop telling me near to Everest and walking distance from Atlantis. You wasted 5mins of my time just telling me whats around it.

Agent : No sir, it is very important as a marketing personal to explain the key selling point of this project in relation the proximity of this place in relation to the surrounding area. (Bullshit)

Me : Ok I'm hanging up in a minute.

Agent : So sorry Sir, ok this project name is Bandar Sri Sendayan beside Seremban 2. Its a 5xxx acre....bla bla bla bla bla (you guys probably know the rest)

Me : What amenities are there?

Agents : We have an upcoming megamall (BS no.1, heard it since 2012), a hospital under construction (BS no.2, heard it since Iron Man 2), we got a highway to KLIA (seriously? i mean a 2 lane JKR road which got delayed since 2014 you are calling that a highway?) we have 2 CBD ( yes literally a ghost town with more banglas, nepali and now myanmar migrant workers starting to occupy the 1st n 2nd floors)

Me : Mr.Agent, FYI I live in BSS, been staying here for 5yrs. The only thing i noticed is none of what you've said and more of your irresponsible thuggish agents congregating near Petron Metropark hogging up the area making it difficult for residents to fill up our petrol and stopping by for food nearby the stalls opposite the place. You guys are lying through your nose and teeth about all the amenities that are here. Have some dignity and at least market whats best this project can offer like heavy discounts, huge built up area houses and the low density of population. Dont talk C*ck and assume people are stupid these days.

Agent : Hung up.

That's how a typical XX Realty agent do their marketing.

The point is, I'm not implying BSS is a bad place to live or a bad investment. Honestly I like this place just for what it is, houses are affordable, the units are huge and it works well for me in terms of the proximity of KLIA. This place is peaceful with less crowd and makes it a nice place to build a family away from the hustle and bustle. But these agents are painting the wrong picture and buyers who get caught buying solely due to the false promises and upcoming features which is not going to happen will only damage the image of the area.

Just my 20sen.

As BSS resident, I'm sure we all hope for good things to come. However the developer should be responsible to deliver, take IJM Seremban2 for example. They did a remarkable job to develop that township from scratch. Matrix on the other hand have lost their focus since the HSR deal went down the drain, I have not heard of any positive direction ever since GE14. TUDM Sendayan is a white elephant, and there is an oversupply of shops which is approximately 75% not occupied especially around Sendayan Metropark. We got 24hrs drive through KFC however no Foodpanda or other food delivery service.

The new Mosque is magnificent but of late hearing a lot of complains from Idaman Villa and Idaman Bayu residents due to the Mosque speakers are put to maximum and heard up to few KM away. Its ok for the 5x a day Azan. We Malaysians are very tolerant, but there is more than the Azan which they broadcast. Almost every hour you can hear some announcements and Religious talks. I did take a ride down to hang out at the mamak opposite the Mosque to verify the story. Its true, hence I do not wish to comment further. Hopefully some tolerance is achieved by proper management of the Mosque committee to limit broadcast only during prayer times. Personally I admire the design and beauty of Masjid Sri Sendayan. As a non-Muslim myself my whole family stopped opposite the Mosque to take a few snaps in awe, shared with my friends through whatsapp and told them I'm in the middle east. They believed me 😉.

Desperate home owners have resorted to renting out their units to become hostels occupied by foreign migrant workers, the oversupply glut is real and owners are taking extreme steps to hold on to their units. They may rake in good rental through this way but it damages the image of that phase and cause nuisance to their neighbours. With that i can say occupancy rates for homes is at 50-60%. Finally, bank value of completed units are approximately 20% below SPA price. Hence investment is not the strongest selling point here.

Ask the agent to buy a unit and stay in Sendayan themselves. Want to sell sure all very good. Let them cari makan la. As a buyer all should know whats in store. Yes MVV is coming up. Its a long 20-30years project. Average buyer is aged about 30 and up at this time. They will probably retired by the time the first fruit of MVV is off the tree. There are so many matured projects out there, so be wise dear buyers.

Unless they are into the huge massive discounts which Sendayan can offer, Looking for a peaceful environment, and wanting to live in Sendayan itself then its fine. But if they are looking for investment, look elsewhere. My own phase there are units selling below market/bank value. Mudah.my prices doesn't lie.

Tell the agent "lu pikiq sendiri la" 😂

Hope they maintain it well. Look at Sendayan Green Park, all the public amenities are poorly managed.

Maybe you could educate your 3rd party sales company staff not to mislead potential buyers with wrong information. Even for me as a “senior” BSS resident I’ve been told a lot of projects back in 2012 which suppose to be up and running in BSS however there is nothing in sight. The barren plots beside Petron Metropark is an eyesore to the township as I have seen illustrations of a “city” supposedly build around there. I’m not referring to the imaginary Sendayan Icon Park but the plots at Metropark. FYI even Metropark is rather stagnant, not many new shops of good economical essence there. Few restaurants have changed hands due to poor business and most of the 1st floors are rented to foreign workers as hostels. They tend to litter the area around, just take a drive along the back alleys of Metropark and you shall see for yourself. The reason why this is happening is merely due to shop owners unable to secure tenants and have to resort to collecting rental from foreign workers.

The developer is just keen on building as many units as possible however this will not translate to a good image having too many vacant units as newer potential buyers would get an image of this township being “cold” and lack of demand.

My 50sen.

Exactly, it takes like 30mins to get to MEX2. It’s back to pure greediness of the developer. More concerned about building as many units rather than having quality. They keep saying about Matrix able to secure FDI to invest in their Techvalley, honestly speaking with all the major factories already up and running as we speak I don’t see any spillover effects at the moment rather than spillover pollutions. Sales people talk so much about Kualiti Alam not affecting the area, go ask Idaman Villa and Idaman Bayu folks. They will tell you about the smell each time the wind blows to their direction.

Again I’m reiterating I have nothing against BSS, just that Matrix should now take responsibility in making sure their sales team whether through direct or 3rd party agents be more truthful towards stuff like distance to places and stop giving false promises. It’s only a matter of time before initial batch of buyers from year 2011 start revealing all the “wonderful moon and sky promises” made back then. Till today we need to depend on Seremban2 for most of our major needs, when will BSS become self sustainable? Another 8-10years? That’s way too long for any “mega project” by a single developer.

Tudm base is just a white elephant. Brings no benefit to the area. Hardly see any air force personnel movement around the township.

Looks like Seri Pajam is the newest contender to launch project close to BSS, or rather closer to Tiara Sendayan. Heard its called Nada Bidara just beside Gadong traffic light. Land clearing has taken place.

No info yet.

Just saw an ad on FB, says from 250k. So probably first phase is not landed.

Global warming and melting of the polar ice caps are indeed something to worry about. But take all this research and scientific hypothesis with a pinch of salt, not everything is entirely accurate. Most of not all have some degree of "business" influenced research findings aimed to profit certain quarters. I used to remember back in 1999, a local article was published saying half of Penang and Langkawi will be underwater by 2020. Fast foward some 20 years ahead, doesn't look like it.

Jakarta's issue is rather due to the density and political standing. Its overcrowded and too polluted as well. The sinking part is just the tip of the iceberg as its rivers are too polluted, flash floods are common issue over there hence why the "sinking" label is given. Don't get too excited by just reading the surface of the story.

Indonesian government can't even solve the yearly open burning issue, they are far from having any concern about nature's wrath to say the least. Look beyond.

Possible in the next few hundred years at least. Not 10 or 20 or even 100.

Foreigners don't simply snap up units just because of the price. Take resort homes for a example (elymus), barely 10% sold to foreigners. There is a lot of boxes to tick before foreigners pick an investment option which sadly BSS is not up to any international standards. Matrix school? Naah, every town has an international school these days. Its no longer a measure. If Seremban2 then yes by looking at their infrastructure, type of shops and businesses operating there, availability of hospital and malls etc etc.

On a side note, anyone know whats coming up beside KIP shophouses near metropark? Seems like the empty plot being cleared. Near to the Monday/Friday pasar malam area.

I suggest you take a drive to BSS sales office and ask the agent to give you a tour at the completed phase offering similar amenities. If all those items were installed as standard then there is nothing to worry about. However as those items are not written in the SnP specification of your unit, in the event Matrix don't honour what the sales agent promised or as per what mentioned in the brochure, you then have no case against them.

Barely 50% occupancy rate even for the older phase of metropark. The new phase which i believe is yours occcupancy rate is 0% sadly. The true image of BSS. Even Sendayan Merchant square already 1yr+ VP barely 20% occupancy rate.

Looks like you are going to be stuck for a very long time.

I live near to metropark so i know how bad things are over there. Even for the old metropark phase, I've seen few tenants close shop due lack of population. No commercial substance in this area. KFC and D'sora hotel failed to attract other businesses to move it. Its disappointing when metropark is actually facing a busy main road yet its not thriving.

True example of Matrix poor planning.

Got fooled by Matrix 5yrs ago, thats why I'm always hanging around this forum to make sure future buyers are well aware of what they are getting into. There is no harm buying, BSS is still a fair place to live but just make sure they are well aware of all this before putting their ink on the SnP. Don't buy a house in BSS with high expectations. There are plenty of options around these days.

I bought my unit in 2013, SPA price below 500k. Of course la got standard Matrix discount trick for 0% downpayment. Went for full loan. Today same row as mine got unit transacted for 400k partially furnished lagi. Now even heard got another unit behind my row going to be closed below 400k. Both units been for sale for >3yrs. Please new buyers dont get conned buying brand new ones for 550k intermediate after discount. Save yourself the 150k can nicely do reno and go for euro trip. Be a smart buyer and dont fall for marketing agent trick.

Hrmm, not too bad actually. Quite a few here and there.

Nope all bought with 10-15% standard matrix discount. But still sold below discount price at last transacted value. 400k. SPA 500k.
