alila targetting completion dec 2016.its ahead of schedule.

try calling 0192298383. its d developer's hand phone no. the sales person can update u the price of d remaining units. still got 10% unsold. many of them are the 2 room units located on high floors. most studios hv been sold. many got some at high floors still unsold due to d high price. call d number and check with d developer.

when i walk around the alila site at night, u can only see 1 race ie indians or maybe bangla. no chinese or malays. i dont think any single ladies will feel safe walking there on her own. even i also didnt feel safe. its basically a slum area. to me thr was nothing attractive abt it. But i still bought 1 studio unit for investment due to its direct cover link to the lrt and its freehold status. But i sure aint gonna stay in alila...

thr is nothing much Keystone can xo to improve the slum environment coz they r all private buildings. each of u shud visit d surrounding area of alila after 930pm to see the site for urself. i visited the place at nigjt 3 times b4 i bought my unit in sept 2013. As i said i will not stay thr myself bcoz of d unsavoury environment.

for doz who want a better environment can consider Nadi bangsar by hap seng land. it commands a bangsar address n is abt only 1km fr the bangsar lrt station. still walking distance n it is not surrounded by slums.

i m just sggesting nadi bangsar as an alternative to alila as nadi is not surrounded by slums and nadi has a safer feel at night. nevertheless i still invested in a studio in alila as i think once the 180 metre link bridge is up, alila will fetch rm1,400 per sf ft..

the covered link bridge is 200 metres long as it passes the railway track below..

its an L shape bridge n keystone confirmed the 200 m length covered bridge. To boost security there will be 2 guards 24/7 stationed on the linked bridge.

Fully furnished studios units (and not the big units) around klcc typically command abt rm1700 psf at current prices.

for a fully furnished alila unit to sell at rm1500 psf after the completion of the link bridge in 2017 is achievable..

its freehold status is also an added advantage..

actually thr is no right or wrong. come end of 2017 the future will reveal itself..

d neighouring lrt connected project kl gateway is attracting a lot of attention. their 4 residential blocks all sold out except 5 units left. although leasehold, they sell on lrt connectivity and their smalish 500k gross shopping mall.

kl gateway smallish gross 500,000 sq ft shows a mall can b a selling point. alila's close proximity to midvalley is also a plus point.

investor groups has arguably been touted to give advantage to the investors who hv grouped together under a property guru to make a bulk purchase fr the developer. d developer sacrifices some discounts in return for a bulk sale.

construction moving fast. project may VP by 4th Q of 2016.

brickfields is a potential growth area. traffic jams is 1 obstacle to overcome.

fully agree with u. the surrounding is a slum and also a ghetto.

Babizz, i have walked at the site of alila past 9pm at night 3 times b4. its ahnehneh low cost apt area. i agree with you that its not a pretty sight. i term it as slum and ghetto. i also agree that the the developer charging the residents for the carpark a mthly fee is a sore point. However once the resident management committee is formed the carpark revenue will be given back to the residents for their usage and benefit. The resident committee will determined the monthly car park fees and the usage of the fees collected. Despite the gloomy suroundings and the car park fee i am still willing to invest into this project due to the lower entry price, fully furnished suite, guarded covered lrt bridge by 2 security guards, close proximity 2 kl sentral & freehold status. if u wanna go to the nearest mall u can take 1 lrt stop to Nu Sentral mall in KL Sentral whr thr is Sam's Groceria for ur grocery needs and also GSC cinema for ur leisure and a whole host of eateries. U dont even need to drive. Across the bridge thr is a whole host of eateries within uoa building and behind uoa building. Fr uoa building walking distance to the nearest mall is abt 1.5km to Bangsar Village whr thr are more eateries and also Village Grocer and TMC across it. But Babizz, i do acknowledge ur point that redevelopment of the immediate surrounding if Alila will be a long shot as they are all private homes and it is unlikely a developer could buy them off so easily in the next 10 years.

KL Gateway at bangsar south nearby would be a good alternative. Got shopping mall and connected to existing universiti lrt. This is a leasehold project though. if u want a freehold project then Southview by uoa beside it can do also but southview does not hv a direct connecting bridge to the lrt.
