Location wise is good.
Better still if Sime can offer better discount. So far the discount is not attractive at all. Wait n see la.

Yeap, I don't live in SJ but have checked with multiple friends there and they have posited the location is good.

SDP offered me 10+5% (I booked in June). Understand now it's 10% only. Might just take the plunge.

Is there affordable homes within this Aurora building? I just heard from one of the agents that there is like lowered priced units here? Anyone got info?

Would not like to be paying a premium to be staying with lower priced units. Doesn’t seem fair.

Yes, got 20+ units, to comply with low cost units requirements i think

Thanks. Have clarified with my agent it’s about 24 units. Although, I have also heard that it’s been reserved by SD as developer to allocate but some have said already allocated. I’m not sure.

SD has a tendency to delay projects though. People who have booked/bought on this thread, have you guys spoken to your agents on the likeliness or this project staying on schedule for Q1 2023?

Good ma if delay... can get extra money... but afraid there will be argument about delay due to MCO...

Boss,
Actually what are ur priorities, budget and purpose of purchase, requirements?

SD needs to clarify on this issue.

Actually can ignore my previous post. I have clarified with my agent. But to answer your question, boss, is to stay for maybe 5 years at least then hold and rent.

Hahah that’s one way to look at it. Anyway, confirmed with my agent that technically Aurora launched last year. So they won’t postpone projects they have launched and have collected booking fees for (unfortunately, I’ll have to take his word for it?)

Surprised at the low take up rate though. Maybe not enough advertising

Too expensive....

would you guys consider aurora or lot15 for investment?

Okay, mainly ownstay with an element of investment rental income in the future.

Lot 15 and Aurora can be considered as they are located in the SJ township surrounded by some commercial.
However, with the plans for more towers coming up and competition from existing ones, it could be a challenge. Not forgetting TMP nearby.

Both also suffer from a price vs location mismatch.

For your purpose, I would rather consider location like MK, DPC, PJ and TTDI. Southern part of greater KL is expected to continue to grow as development is in that direction but will be dominated by landed mostly. High-rise will aim at niche market to make it.

Subang Jaya is predominantly a landed preferred township and very few high-rise succeed there. Maybe the exception is Isola
Price ur asking rental too high and risk pricing urself out of the market. Price too low and you need to top up significant amount every month as your entry cost is higher than most.
Even worse is what if SDP decided to launch new blocks at 750psf i.e. Ss7 but maybe at higher density, the competition you face would be great. You can argue urs is lower density but will renters bite into that and pay premium?

A few pointers to consider.
As usual, take it with many salt and don't always listen to an assistant toilets cleaner.

Wow thanks for taking time out to give me that analysis. Really grateful for it, Longshot. You’re a good man/woman.

Already considered those locations you mentioned. I’m quite confident I’ve seen all the viable developments over the past 2 months of hunting. SJ has always been home for me and I like the comfort of a matured development and all of my familiarity being so close to me. Hence, my biasness. Even with pros and cons list (trying to minimise bias), Aurora seems to come up top (for me).

U welcome Boss,
All the best and do share some pictures when VP.

BTW, who is the main con for Aurora?
Saw land clearance done.

@Longshot not sure about the main con yet. Will ask on the weekend when I go to the showroom.

Just received like a video of the unit today and can I just say:

DTO VOTERS. WHY WOULD YOU THINK KITCHEN FLOOR SHOULD BE SAME AS LIVING ROOM FLOOR OMG.

So ugly. Were you guys joking when you voted for Option 1? Was it a joke gone wrong? Because it’s terrible ☹️



Attached thumbnail(s)

maybe people think for it to be long lasting

I voted I think....🤭 Can't recall what I voted for ...😆
Honestly, did it for the fun of it.
Didn't know it will impact anyone from the forum.
I'm so sorry....😔

And that dto platform just doesn't cut it.
All we do is just pick colours, shapes of fittings like locks, taps etc
After awhile I just gave up.
They did invite me for a brainstorming session but I declined and told them any feedback can be handled via emails or messaging. We can proceed to face to face meeting if something concrete comes from there but they didn't buy it.

One thing I told them was why spend money building a new sales gallery but ignored the walkways from the LRT all the way to Empire. I told them, try walking from the LRT station to Empire around 1.00pm and experience it.
If you have money for a brand new sales gallery why not a proper walkway which will be good for future owners of Lot 15 and Aurora. What happened to your TOD tagline??

Needless to say, my points fell on deaf ears and they still want me to drive down to KL for their "brainstorming" and makan-makan?

Just to choose colours??? I got better things to do.

What’s the matter with same floor tiles for living and kitchen?

It’s just bad taste. Personal preference I guess. Can’t stand matte, porcelain tiles being on my living room floor. But beggars can’t be choosers I guess
