This projects only advantages are the low entry price and walking distance to lrt.
So why ppl want to choose to rent here if the amenities nearby are not walking distance( need to triple check on this) compared to other walkable lrt station project?
Gonna comment here as a frequent visitor to the Kelana/Ara/Lembah Subang area and also frequent LRT user:
Evolve Mall and the next door shoplots with mamaks/convenience stores/clinics is about 700 meters or 10-15 mins walk away from project site, roughly speaking (dunno about final road conditions and where Pinnacle gate will be located).
For comparison, Ara'Tre (a recently VP, more expensive location) is 550 meters or 7 minutes away (walk speed via Google map calculation) from Evolve Mall.
To get to Evolve via public transportation, Pinnacle Ara Damansara residents can take their link bridge to SS7 station, go to Glenmarie station which is the immediate next station (taking the train heading towards Shah Alam/Klang), change to Kelana Jaya line (CGC-Glenmarie), and take the train heading to Gombak to Ara Damansara station which is immediately after CGC-Glenmarie. Evolve Mall is right next to Ara Damansara station.
Whether this is considered comfortable walking, my dua sen as a moderately healthy person it's so-so, not the best but I've commuted a lot worse. Considering Evolve is only 2 stations away (with one interchange between), if take LRT path it's still pretty convenient and walking through mostly "covered" path via LRTs (only part not fully covered is the path between Ara Damansara station and Evolve Mall's cluster of commercial shops). Evolve Mall area has a number of other conveniences like clinics, dentists, small eateries, hairdressers, and mamaks. Want to be fancy, can take Kelana Jaya line to SS15/to BRT to get to Sunway Pyramid area.
The main disadvantage of using LRT "path" is LRT train token costs, which is irrelevant to My50 Pass holders who already commute a lot, but less convenient to foreign tenants who don't have similar concessions/subsidy, I think.
