Has his developer completed any similar high rise service apartments ? If yes, which projects? How’s the workmanship after delivery?

Do spare thoughts for the victim of the accident, imagine if it happens to be one of our family members or friends.....

This developer was incorporated in 1997, with its diverse developments located primarily in Johor, Ng Sembilan & Selangor.

Past projects:
- Taman Waja, Kuala Pilah (low medium cost apartment)
- Bayu Senibong, JB (medium cost apartment)
- TRC business center
- Tmn Andaman Ukay, Ulu Kelang (terrace house)
- Tmn Ukay Tropika, Ulu Kelang (luxurious superlink house)

Current/future projects:
- Ara Damansara, PJ (mixed development)
- Impian Senibong Phase 2 (apartment/SOHO)

Looks like mostly low and medium cost sweat.gif

this is organic grow, and should be applaused

how do you expect a developer to grow from low cost company to major company without putting in the time and progress?

Perhaps that's the case, but for a high end condo living, one of the main criteria is after sales property management (i am assuming completion and workmanship are not issues). I have seen prices of condos appreciated due to good and proper management by the developer (not just seconded to a property management company). Condos is a community living, a good and professional management will reward all the residents with pleasant and conducive environment.

Moving from building low and medium costs (around RM100-RM250psf) to developing high end condos that sells at RM6550psf is hardly "organic growth", perhaps should have build some apartments (non low and medium cost) before embarking on a project like this. Maybe this land is "free" after building the LRT for Prasarana, so why not try to build some condos for a change ? Even if the condos are to be completed, how are we to be assured of the workmanship?

Some out there may be willing to be guinea pigs, but .... after so many unpleasant examples, to me proven track record is a MUST !

look at the addresses of the completed units, where were those buildings to begin with. How can they even sell 400psf at si beh far location?????

they managed to lock in prime land at ARA, they have to sell the market rate, not kuala pilah market rate.

and this ARRA is not high end condo (should read SOVO or Service Apartments) by any stretch of imagination. At best it will be par with pacific place.
Four positives for this project to me
1. Connected to LRT
2. FREEHOLD
3. Ready amenities nearby (not to my liking BUT....)
4 Fame Address

To me, only 2 positives, Freehold and address (although next to this land is a few thousand units of PPR)

The negatives will be handful :-

1. connected to LRT means having to endure the nuisance of noises, have you heard the breaking sound of LRT trains? A reasonable distance to LRT station will be better

2. Developer has NO track record whatsoever for similar products

3. No reference for quality of workmanship and post completion management

4. Chances for completion on time ? This project has been mentioned in the market since 2013, why launch now when the market is soft ? Constructing LRT also managed to have a fatal accident to the public

5. The design is more of "service apartments", i.e. integrated within a commercial site (which is the LRT station) rather than a pure condo perimeter, hence plenty of crowd

6. The layout plan design as commented earlier by others, is horrible. This is perhaps due to a developer that have only been building low and medium cost housing

7. The price is actually not cheap, there are plenty of options in "Fame Address" with better products, more reputable developers and more conducive living environment

Just giving an HONEST opinion with no pecuniary interest in this project whatsoever.

Precisely, you can use the best builders but if you don’t pay them .... they stop works.

Plaza Rakyat last time also used Daewoo mah, end up what happened ?
