From what I can see in Elmina Garden, SDP have built the fencing and guardhouse (not the shabby type) for the residents. Quality of finishing based on viewing a few properties - looks ok, above average.
One thing I notice is that they don't cut grass even around the showroom - looks like an abandoned showroom. Showroom outside environment wasn't impressive but I guess they have been able to sell so can't even bother to maintain their landscaping or build show units. Also, landscaping may be MPSA's responsibility...
Commercial area - I guess Bukit Jelutong and Ara Damansara are reference points. But we should also consider Subang Jaya to be fair - which has a rather successful commercial area. Bukit Jelutong I think they were stuck with a 70% bumi 30% non-bumi quota by MPSA so the commercial area didn't really take off (plus the commercial areas were quite small)
Elmina - if go according to masterplan - should be quite "wong" given the scale/size of the commercial area with mall, offices, healthcare, MRT, LRT. But this is probably 15 years down the road!
Im one of the future owner of EV-5B. Well, to be fair, give them some time at least 8 to 10 years to develop. I've heard the commercial area is going to be Sime Darby's Prime (the best) as they say with McD, KFCs, Tesco/Carrefour and some other 'Big' commercial parties will find their way here.
On the other side, the quality of the houses looks good & solid as well. Not so sure about the maintenance yet, but i hope they may need to buckle up little more to safe-guard their name. EV5 is a sold-out even before the launch to the Public, the demand is there.
Fingers crossed and hope everything that they planned, will succeed ( for the benefits of the Owners, hehe)
