Was told by SE:

32 floor
1,000 sqft
3 room 2 bath
from RM650k
Will be launched Sept 2024

The allure of Elmina is because of the affordable double storey terrace houses

Why would anyone spend 600k for a high rise at this location? Top up a bit more you can get subsale landed at the same place. PSF also cheaper than this.

My total amateur guess is, maybe they trying to make it into Desa Parkcity 2.0? Since Elmina is already connected somewhat to two highways, location is also somewhat close to towns/cities like Ara Damansara, Puncak Alam, Bukit Jelutong that has a sizable population already with decent average income, maybe couple decades down the line it might develop to that level? Not sure if it's a sound investment tho, with how pricey the properties in Elmina are right now...

Funny thing is.. many years back when Elmina launched landed property with RM500K+, people say very expensive.. now with more facilities and well connected, and mall coming up and opening soon, it start selling RM1m+, people also say expensive.. 😂😂

Somemore alot of things not up yet. Hospital, schools, shop lot, commercial high rise.. imagine when all r fully developed in 10-20 years down the road, those bought at RM1m+ now will feel very cheap 😛

In matured areas like KL, PJ also congested and only getting worse. LDP on sunday mornings used to be smooth but now heavy traffic. With many more condos coming up in PJ plus the PJD link (eventually will get pushed through), PJ is becoming more unliveable.

My friend had move on filing to KPKT. See many issues arise surrounding is really pissed off. To SD team, take note.

Unable to tolerate any more due to ceiling leaking till wall switches.

Water leakage is their signature issue, even different contractor for different phases, really don't understand why this happened

Take pics & complaint to the consumer rite!!!
They will immediately call you & rectify the problem ASAP!     

Elmina west resident here. Anything we can do about mat rempit racing at gce every night? More rampant in weekends.

Also they lepak near the elmina rainforest knowledge centre and also do drag race there.

Just came back from the mall, what a trip. Cars were parked along the roads even before reaching the mall, and I thought to myself no way there are that many people. When I got there, it was packed! Even the two outdoor parking lots were full. I had to circle around to find a spot on the roadside.

Spotted iherng at the sales office, and the mall was so bustling and lively - such a vibrant atmosphere! Not bad at all for the first day.

The warehouse concept is very refreshing. The high ceilings and airy space really give it a nice vibe, it did not feel hot maybe because of today's weather. Saw young families bringing baby strollers and older folks out with their children. A great mix of people, and it feels very lifestyle-friendly, comparable to (if not better than) the Waterfront at Desa Parkcity. The only downside is this mall is not pet friendly.

Most of the shops were already open, but Harvey Norman will only open next Friday, which btw is a huge store. I had only stayed for a short while, but I'm definitely planning to return to check out the massage center and grocery store. Oh, and I picked up some char siew wantan mee to support the food store there. Many promo until end of the week.

Personally I think this place is going to thrive. The turnout was impressive considering it was a weekday. Just imagine how busy it will get on the weekend. It seems like everyone has been craving some entertainment on top of the leisure activities they're already enjoying in Elmina and the neighboring townships. Fingers crossed that the clubhouse for indoor sports will be ready soon.

I was there for a short while, just checking out the shops and how everything's set up.

The place does feel nice, not just because it's new and big. I get that DPC has pulled in a crowd with some serious spending power, so now it's on Sime Darby to figure out how to draw this crowd in.

After my visit today, my updated impression is that this place is starting to feel like a bazaar.

It's great for grabbing food, hanging out with friends, doing some grocery shopping, and picking up a few light items and services or furniture that the locals need. But it's not really a place for relaxing or santai, which is what the parks are for. I noticed a lot of families with very young kids just slowly strolling around, not really paying attention to their surroundings. There were even some teens sitting on the floor eating, and signs of people stepping on the plants just to save a few steps. The trash bins were overflowing with trash and empty milk tea bottles since there was a good promo going on, and instead of taking their trash with them, people were just chucking it outside the bins. It felt way messier than on the first day, and I wasn't able to enjoy myself.

I'll try to go back on a weekday and definitely avoid weekends until the hype is over.

On the bright side, I still love the open-air setup. After it rained on Friday evening, the place felt really cool and breezy, and there were less people. I chatted with some folks running the events and we were joking about it being cold. It can get quite chilly after the rain sometimes. Also, this open-air concept makes sure that it keeps out people looking for just free air conditioning.

Sime Darby could definitely consider bringing in more brands because after you eat, if you want to wander around and shop, there's not much besides groceries to get. For locals, it's still ok, but it definitely doesn't make sense for outsiders making a special trip to just eat and then leave. The lakeside area is nice, but it all depends on the weather. Plus, the playgrounds are always packed now, so it's not the most exciting place for families with younger kids. The walkways in front of the shops get wet after heavy rain, something I'm sure Sime Darby would have noticed and should do something about it.

I also hope they start charging for parking soon to help manage the crowds and keep it to people who really want to support the businesses. I had to park pretty far away to get to the mall, and I can't see myself doing that every time I visit.

Gamuda gardens and elmina is almost the same time distance from the city, both are great township. Gamuda gardens nkve access is good.

Ya I forsee it will become setia alam just matter of time gamuda has total 1500 acres of land and sime Darby has 100 acres as well next to it not yet develop

i also find the contradictions here ironic

- claims elmina is peaceful and quiet place but so many complaining about crowd, jams and rempits
- claims elmina is complete, no need go anywhere but at the same time, people still have to keep promoting about going to kl/pj with dash only takes 20 mins and mrt which is non existence
- claims it only takes 20 mins to go to anywhere else but jam just to exit taman already more than 20 mins
- then blames the jam due to neighbouring township but own development keep building "attractions" with poor layout planning (eg: praise all the schools being built but ignore the weird planning, praise mall with poor parking planning, praise the many many parks opened for even more non residents)

so many ifs, buts and excuses to downplay and manipulate the issues

the amount of jilat and sugarcoating grandiose claims here is insane, can't even keep the story straight and consistent already

The neighbouring townships use elmina to access guthrie/dash and come to use the parks and mall. I wish SDP could close us access and keep the parks for residents but SDP is a GLC and gahmen won't allow it to be elitist here... Planning could be better i agree

My colleague from Eco Grandeur originally working in Kepong suddenly got relocated to Bangsar.. Everyday 3.5hour to/back work...
My colleague staying in Eco Majestic working in Kajang suddenly got relocated to Puchong... Everyday 3.5hour to/back work...
My colleague from Gamuda Gardens originally working nearby 1U suddenly got relocated to Taman Connaught... Everyday 3hour to/back work...

Think before you buy... even if work is closeby, you probably will not stay there forever... choose somewhere centralize...

Thus the solution is MRT. Land already allocated. I understand DASH also jammed. Wondering what is the best time to leave your house in the morning if you have flexi timing at work?

Actually there are alternative ways to enter Dash / Jln sg buloh but the road from elmina green/saujana utama to denai alam don't have traffic lights, so it becomes the preferred route for residents from elmina green/ saujana utama and use it as bypass, end up all cars stuck at the Denai Alam traffic light. The drivers from saujana/EG are quite aggressive, they drive very fast as if don't want to stop at the roundabouts.

SDP should consider to install a 199 seconds traffic light like the famous one near Shah Alam Stadium 🤭 to regulate the traffic from other Taman
