Hello guys, notice there are different thread here based on project itself. However, as a continuous booming area, Old Klang Road (“OKR”) & nearby area, itself have about 14 Rumawip, namely

1. Platinum OUG by Platinum Victory (“PV”)
2. Lily Aprtment by Havana Solaris
3. Kuchaimas by Aset Kayamas (“AK”)
4. Desa Satumas by AK
5. Desamas by AK (Sold out?)
6. Casa Green by Amber Homes (Sold out)
7. Suria Pantai by IJM Land (Haven’t officially available)
8. Ritz Communities by PolyRitz
9. Rimbunan Petaling (Sold out)
10. Lanai Bukit Jalil (Sold out)
11. Gembira 737 (Sold out?)
12. Selesa Apartment (Sold out)
13. Hijauan Lumayan (Sold out)
14. Puchongmas by AK (Sold out)

If were to consider PR1MA also, there is PR1MA Brickfields nearby. So total will come to 15 option for first-time / lower income home buyer.
In term of price point, Kuchaimas win all for RM 198K only, but it comes with disadvantage of next to HTC (very close), and next to busy highway (some noise + air pollution maybe). Developer AK quality based on their recent completed Parkhill Bukit Jalil, workmanship is kinda excellent.
But in term of convenience, Platinum OUG and Lily Apartment come into picture of offering walking distance to LRT and future MRT respectively. Pricing of RM299K versus RM300K, both situated in rather matured township, some pro & cons analysis of myself for both of this property

Platinum OUG

Pros:
Well known developer – PV Group, not much worry on workmanship
Matured township – OUG, busier but more organized Kuchai Lama (where Lily Apartment located)
Walking distance to LRT station without crossing any major road, walking distance + comfortable
Better facilities compare with Lily Apartment

Cons:
Build next to PPA1M with 660 units and surrounded by PPR with 3,000+ units
Overall, the piece of land got 1,120 units, consider high density
All road toward the property is small double + double parking on road side
Grocery & food need at least 15 mins drives, nearby got nothing

Lily Apartment

Pros:
Stone throw to food court, banks, grocery without driving needed (Similar to Sri Petaling Pinnacle concept)
Super matured neighborhood, Kuchai Lama
Lower density, only 550+- units
Future MRT line with better connectivity to major commercial spot (Bandar Malaysia ***if Tun M proceed with it la), but nonetheless, Ampang Park, KLCC is just few station away, compare with Platinum OUG LRT to smaller Taman

Cons:
Build between a busy commercial area, expected to jam in traffic going out/coming back
Busy and unorganized side of Kuchai Lama (not like newer Kuchai Entrepreneur Park on opposite), surround shops are rather running down / low cost shophouse – Walking at night safety will be a concern
Developer is new, Lily apartment is their first project, worry if workmanship goes wrong, have to bear with it for at least 10 years

Conclusion: ?

Given the comparison between Platinum OUG versus Lily Apartment, which one would you guys go for/assuming you will be buying one of it
Please share some input/ideas

Thanks. Feel free to add more point

Not to mention there's a cement factory nearby Lily Apartment I think?

opposite toward the MRT side is number of factories, i guess maybe, but is that a concern for u? mind sharing

Of course a big concern. The chemical stuff they released out, the smokes, the debris and etc could lead to health issues.

So all the residents of whole Kucai area are with potential health issues caused by the chemical stuff?

Lily is my choice...
Makan not a problem.
Various choice of food.
Access to EndPE and BestRaya is a plus.

Not to say all and not to say it'll definitely cause health issue but there's some impact from it. Just like nobody like staying nearby HTC towers.

Noted. Thx for the reply.
From your circle of friends/ppl you know, any of them having health issue caused by the Kucai factory(s)? Thx again.

From the circle of the people I know, there are those who got health issue due to living nearby factory but it's not in Kuchai.

May I know where it is?

It's the YTL cement factory + some other factories like Ajinomoto and etc. You can refer to wikimapia.

http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3.090561...ily%20apartment

A few months ago, I went to Golden Sun restaurant for dinner. I saw Ajinomoto and a few factories (from traffic light to goldensun) have been demolished for MRT2 station. I'm not sure whether YTL factory still exists.

If Lily buyers really care about it, better go there and check it out.

Yea, please let us know if the YTL cement factory is still operational. If it's not then Lily Apartment could be a good buy.

Hi can i kniw what health issue they having?

Hi can i kniw what health issue they having?

Cancer and difficulty of breathing. Not just one household. Few got affected. Take note that this example is not in Kuchai but some other place where they live nearby factories as well.

No idea if there's HTC nearby. But then rumahwip will be always nearby something; be it cemetery, HTC or factories. I am okay with the first 2 if there's a distance but definitely no no to factories. But that's just me.

that is scary!!! thought at first my preference will be Lily over PV OUG, but now, maybe now i should reconsider

Not discouraging anyone from buying Lily Apartment. This is just my opinion. I am just stating that there's a YTL cement factory nearby.
