Personally think that both the block A & B views are decent.  lust.gif Meanwhile Block A has the best sales package for now.

Ref for the whole projects layout:

PM me for more info.

IMO, Block A slightly overlook the bungalows (esp low floors) but Block B (middle floor) seems to have farther golf view bcz low floor might facing the car park rooftop directly next to Block B. High floor both actually almost same for me.

If I looking into Tropika, I also want low to mid floor facing golf to enjoy the full greenery, so Block B mid floor suits my type but if all units now re-available, I still go to Block A bcz price too steep for Block B.

I also see future Block C golf view is the best but I cannot find what so special about Block D bcz either block by Twin Arkz/main road or facilities only/Block A.

Sorry for the confusion. its changes to the floor plan. Apparently they are adding guard house & door at refuse chamber lol.

Yes, hearsay changes on the floor plan for Type C because cannot sell. They may reduce the sizes and then increase more smaller units. This affected all floor plan required but I not sure the changes is only future Block C and D but Block B maybe too.

REally? I heard that Block C & D going to launch soon wor. Is the developer call to buyer?
*
Not sure. I asked developer staff, the changes not finalized yet but in 2 days time, my relative received updates from agent, the changes are more or less confirmed.

I quite curious how are they going to launch Block C since for Block B, at 8-10% much higher price, there are some units available for type A and B, meanwhile Type C would take at least 1 year to sell.

If they launch the same type and sizes for Block C and D, assuming increase 5% each. That would breached RM 900 per sq feet. And Block A's buyers maybe having good paper gain as they may fight with Link 2 (similar price) once in 2023. However, the upscale pricing would resulted Block C and D, pulling down whole Tropika effectiveness and attractness.

Actually I am shocked to hear that layout plan change sizes and number of units, thats required floor plan also changes.

If they change only Block C, they have to delay the launching in order to get paperwork done but now seems no government, so it remains a question. If they changed Block B, all the current buyers must check if you signed any consent to the developer to amend the layout or floor plan or building plan which stated in the S&P, if required and at the cost of the developer.

the pricing strategy same applied before by other developers... Like Tropicana Gardens... Block A sold at cheaper / market price... for other blocks...sold at 20% premium to create havoc among buyers... for the last phase...even higher but come with fully furnished package
*
Ya, you reminded me, thank you boss!

It also applied to Robertson KL, first block opened at cheap cheap price purposely for staffs and associates and allocate the premium back to end buyers for next block.

Yes. Later havoc oso if gone under the hammer. Good luck to all buyer if even cheapest block dont sold out

Unsure if it was the lay-out problem. On paper, it looks right but the felling upon step into the show unit, I feel the kitchen is too small and balcony too huge for a Type C, 1318 sq feet.

Furthermore, 7 units a floor is very fantastic but all 3 corners are belongs to Type C, 2 each for Type A and B. Type A seems had huge demand, spelling a probability of buyers invest more than own stay.

But I believe it could be the pricing problem, which RM 850k plus for Block A and subsequently over RM 900k plus for Block B, left even more unsold units of Type C.

It's not easy to absorb for current economy and spillover for BJ buyers who opt for sub-sales since Park Sky and Skyluxe are VPing, more fancy but albeit RM 900 psf crazy price. If wanted gold view, The Link 2 is also a choice cum Twin Arkz lowered price for similar view and price, while KM1 West offered cheaper price but lesser facilitates.

Works commence, they launched Block A and B dy, they must launch Block C by this year and latest Block D next year (consider slow) as they going to complete by 2023. Unless they cash rich to tahan construction costs & willing to slowly launch and sell until 2022.

Block B already jumped 7-8% before taking off free MOT. They no longer can repeat same 7% for Block C, no buyers would buy at 14% price higher.

I bought a unit. Before that, I tried staying in The Link2 next to the site for a night through Airbnb just to check out the condition since that was also built by Berjaya.

Overall, I'm not impressed with the materials they used but it was acceptable. I bought this unit for its location and surrounding. Well, there is no perfect property, you will have to consider the pricing, location, personal preference and quality, I'd say it is pretty good if it meets 80% your overall criteria and objective.

Can share which Type you have bought? A or B?

Congratulations on your purchase as you have already determine to accept and know Berjaya workmanship is not famous and buying into Tropika is really about location and it's surrounding.

I am sure this will be your sweet and comfy home.

8+2 is that for Type B?

I know Type A now is 6+2% but Type C is 8+5%

If not mistaken, during early of the year it was 5% (type A), 6% (B) and 7% © before additional 2% upon VP for all.
And before this no MOT, no kitchen cabinet. Only air cons. Now all available for Tower B.

The discounts a bit confusing for every type and different from each tower.

However, Block A remain the better buy due to discount and lower SPA Price. Only left Type C.

As l know, Tower A 1318sq still left few units

Tower B sales is slowly
*
If 1318 sq feet, plenty around. Developer latest chart may be showing around 20+ units available, but according to agents, there are about 30+ units under reservation and few more pending withdrawals with stickers yet to be removed from the board.

With additional discounts compare to early launch, with HOC 2020 now to get the free MOT and some fittings, I think this sales can move a bit because Tower B pricing will indirectly push potential buyers to get Tower A.

Tower B's 1318 sq feet is RM 83 per sq foot higher than Tower A's from 750 per sq feet. Tower A's 1318 sq feet now is selling 650 per sq feet after all rebates, more reasonable rates in such premium location. Even Link 2 subsale price are asking higher at 750 per sq feet. Twin Arkz dropped back to similar rates. The Park and Skyluxe still asking close to 900 per sq feet albeit smaller at 1000-1100 sq feet.

Tower B will have huge problem to sell, even the smallest size 732 sq feet cannot move more than 10% of the total smallest size available in Tower B. Not to mention next size of 974 sq feet, the sales can be count with both hands.

Ironically, they still believe they can increase price for Tower C.

Very interesting and good masterplan, opposite Pavilion Bukit Jalil, the empty land and not sure whats the empty land next to it too. Surely can pull a lot to commercial nearby.

But unknown developer and let's see if they have any cable to pull off such deals with those medical and wellness related companies. Not easy but if manage to sustain, its a major coup not only to Bukit Jalil / Kinrara but entire KL and Malaysia.

Then it is really bad for Berjaya developer,  can't even deliver one nice lobby / parking surrounding to buyer...

Berjaya taste really conventional, not only just architectural building or facade that are so common and nothing fantastic but even lobby, corridor, landscaping were super normal. Completely no wow factor.

Same goes to KM1 East, which is consider not cheap. Ritz Carlton is failure based on their selling price.

tropika type c
skyluxe type d. both around 1.2k to 1.3k sq ft

I visited one unit in skyluxe back in June where owner looking at approximately RM940+ psf. The agent told me skyluxe owners have strong holding power hence hardly can get good nego price. As for Tropika and twin arkz , I have not visited therefore I donno the actual pricing yet. ;P
*
Got ask ur Skyluxe agent why the unit is special at RM 940 psf for such size he quote you?
Most units asking price close to RM 900 psf also cannot sell dy, moreover he quote you big size in Skyluxe itself.

Tropika Type C (if u buying Tower A), I believe it is only less than RM 700 psf if high floor.

Layout wise, Tropika Type C for me is 7/10.
Long living area but lack of dining space although generated more sunlight feeling. The kitchen area is open without bigger yard, depends on individual. However, the bedrooms size are good. The only negative is long space wasted on balcony.

Sufficient to win Skyluxe's especially on every space, Skyluxe wasted too much space on balcony. All rooms too small. Tropika Type C masterbedroom is equivalent to 1.5 times or more than any master bedroom by Skyluxe.

I also concern the density not only the facade
The feeling of the facade design depends on different ppl
Skylux is 477 units in 1.8 arcs land
Tropika is 868 units in 6.5 arcs land
*
Density, actually Tropika wins.

Architecture, facade, and modern feeling ... Skyluxe wins. Skyluxe have more options of view from any angle, while Tropika is straight forward unless you buying Type C.

When price matters, Tropika seems have more advantage.

modern facade is.only a design and feeling
But density is real
Even though Tropika maintain fee is same as Skylux
Lower density means the fee is much cheaper then Skylux
Because owners can enjoy and sharing more space
Now, many developers build the facilities on different floors in the building with small land size and claiming low density, tbis is cheating .
*
I think not only that, modern facade buildings is not just a design but a futuristic architecture for the building to sustain the outlook & maintenance itself in the future market.

Skyluxe is nice bcz Tropika facade is sucks. Berjaya quite living into 90's era, conventional, nothing special but simple enough. Tropika is a lower version of another nice & simple but yet conventional of The Park, but I like The Park due to 4 high rises soaring the sky and overseen by me when I passby Kesas Highway or when I visiting Bukit Jalil.

Depends on the target segment, most age 35 or new buyers would prefer such Skyluxe or Exsim's facade than other factors such as density, faciltiies items etc. Quite individual.

I like futuristic but will never be my top 5 criteria.

My Chief! Lower density doesn't represents lower maintenance fee.

It's depends on the Gross & Net Floor Area vs number of facilities of the project. Honestly, both maintenance fee also not cheap.

Skyluxe being too small and nothing much to maintain except security, pool too small, and I doubt if they will forever open the facade's LED every night. The high scale fee was probably derived due to number of units are all small size.

Tropika maintenance is higher because the facilities area but most of it are repeatedly (eg garden or landscape) just to increase it numbers. Facilities area built on top of a podium is much more higher cost to maintain than on a ground floor area. Bigger facilities area also required more security guards, hence a rising cost too.

Small sizes still ok but medium big size like Type C will consider quite costly due to the number of Type C units in all blocks represents the NFA is actually more than enough to sustain the facilities given.

but i have to agree that sliding window is way better compare to current show room - louvre glass window at kitchen, which kind of looks cheap, and oso it's difficult to clean.
hopefully they can enlarge the window height too (currently 2.4m if not mistaken), compare to surrounding newly launch products, tropika has the shortest/lowest window height in general.
*
+1 agree.

Somehow, I unsure how they able to change the louvre windows at kitchen / yard due to tight space to sliding. The louvre windows sure look cheapskate but still better than the old days of aluminium material (harder maintenance, will fall down easily). I also doubt if they can change to pull / push windows as most of the new condo provided that but ended up disabled by owners due to not practical enough.

Tropika will be more luxury if they able to enlarge their windows heights and bringing in more sunlight bcz the facade already too common.

The next thing would be the balcony rail, cheap and hard for maintenance.

If you visit the sales gallery recently for Type C. You will be able to noticed the design for master bedroom toilet has been changed and enlarged.. Not sure it will apply for Block B C and D only or A as well
*
They already changed it since 2-3 months ago.

It was due to the common area toilet door directly facing it's dining area, so they move a bit to inner. It's good. But the expansion of the master bathroom actually sounds good bcz the room still huge enough, but when looking at the renovated show unit, it seems I prefer the older one.

Unknown for Block C and D, but was informed for Block A and B. Means there are some adjustment to the layout plan which has been signed in the SPA.

Yup, they shifted a bit and enlarged the common toilet door, so still a bit will face dining area. I feel they can't do anything about the toilet door facing dy.
