off plan or subsale?????

off plan if developer made up sui sui show village or show units, hard not to move your heart.

now you know why guocoland built club house, swimming pool, lake and nice nice garden for visitors to soong soong while they are thinking to cheong or not.

For landed, it has to be Desiran in Bandar Kinrara. On a hill, small density, and free 5ft land at the back that doesn't belong to homeowners. I never gave an offer cause the owner was a snob and the price was just too high.

For apartments, I would say Five Stones. It could be very well be taken over by Setia Sky Seputeh cause the layout looks impressive but I have yet to see the units yet.

I did remember one of the forummers who bought Tropicana Aman with his wife after 1 hour viewing the showroom. Most likely impulse buy XD

All my 3 properties, I like it and bought them immediately:

Casa Tropicana, bought 195 and sold 478k
Setia Alam, bought 420k and now valued around 700k
Eco Ardence, bought 1.75m and now under construction

It took 40 minute for me and my wife at the gallery and show unit before we placed booking. Both of us like the lake facing unit and the layout, it's gorgeous !

Location - SKYLAKE RESIDENCE

It took 1 hour for me and my gf to place a booking. just loving how near its to the MRT with 12m Link Bridge and 5-10min drive to C180, Aeon, banks, cheras trader square, hospital, every amenity

Location - Parkland Cheras South, RM415K for 700sf

It took me random search.on net with this property.
Loved the facade and layout.
Sent an email to them immediate and the sa replied within 2 hrs...2 units left.....

Then she faxed me rest of details (yup it was fax era).
Iwith location n master layout plan.

I rush my sister to gp to sales office to psy thr booking n i flew back in 2 weeks time to seal the deal.

Just bouggt with sight of 2D papers. Still love it til today.

I wouldnt bore you guys with my next lofs

Didn't know that student accommodation can also be sold on the open market. Thought that Sunway will prefer to make money from student rentals than let some Tom, Dick and Harry buy up those units and let them benefit from the students renting there.

Eco ardence 1.75m, semi-d? May I know which phases did u buy?

Cantara? quite like the design and locaton hehe

corner lot shop office at bukit jalil.. almost completed at that time, found out it was still available directly from developer. somehow.. offered 3.28m, by the time gotten the financing, they sold to one of their other customer at 3.26m..

reason? 1st tenant started with 12k rental at ground floor, still around till today, whole block already secured 22k rental abt 8 years ago, thereabout.. bought some insurance, not a total miss though..

Generally, most of the products from SDB is almost love at first sight (except for their rubbish Laman & Bayu). They go the extra mile with their projects by adding sculptures, fitouts that are not tacky otherwise, hiring award winning firms to ensure the products stand out. Feel like they don't shout enough about this in promoting their products. Most of their layouts are also orientated to have natural light flooding into the units.

Price-wise, its always on the higher side, but they put in real thought into the brand and soul of the development.

Either.

However for me, I've seen some show units that were made up "sui sui" and said yuck this is not for me.

1 that a lot were wowed by but turned me off was Trinity Pentamont. Thought it was overdone and made me question what they were trying to hide. I mean seriously who the eff has shoe cabinets that looked like a showcase?

Wah long time din hear fr tailou. Mana pigi???

Elmina Valley 5. Walked in SD gallery for the first time, straight away booked. No research, no google, and never step in any gallery before. It’s all love at the first sight 😍

They were foeced to sell when they encountered financial difficulties in 1998. There r 2 blocks. 1 was sold. I heard a lady had 20 units. Worth more than 20million now.

There was a time that they only provided accommodation for first year students only.

establishment - like the design language, cap appreciation and healthy rental yield makes the purchase even sweeter

5 stones - bought, stayed and sold for a landed. really zen place but expanding family means a bigger footprint for the house.

kinrara residence - great concept with club house, show room was beautiful, pulled out last minute as head took over the heart, in hindsight was a good decision considering MS quality

Yup SMD. Mine is phase 2, Dremien. You bought there also?

Hows the occupancy rates for establishment these days?
