They start for registration, target launch in July 2020

since MCO any properties gonna drop, why Freehold still can easily sell?

1.1km i think it is walkable...

I guess traffic in Shah Alam is considered very good already. Wait till u see Cheras, Puchong & Ampang.... I'm currently staying in Cheras, crying to office every morning. But stop crying for the past 40 days due to MCO lol

Tenure 35 years. You must be very young to be eligible for 35 years 

I have made my booking yesterday. Booking is RM500. Currently is open for registration only. Still cannot choose unit. At first I thought the sales agent is trying to create the urgency, now I understand why this project is so hot. This dev has been very conservative in its pricing, their previous project Tuan Residency is also selling around RM450 – 480 psf. Now DIAN is around RM470 – RM500psf. Surrounding projects are easily RM600psf and above.

My analysis:-

The unit I book is Type B 3 bedroom 810sf about RM380k. Say interest 3.4% (assume after OPR cut, rate will be BLR 5.65% - 2.25% = 3.4%), loan tenure 35 years, every month instalment is RM1550.

Did a quick check on iProperty, here are the rental around this area:

Emira Residence RM1800/month (2 bedroom, 883sf)
Metia Residence RM1450/month (2 bedroom, 809sf)
Menara U RM1600/month (2 bedroom, 622sf)
Menara U2 RM1200/month (2 bedroom, 450sf)
Arte Subang West RM2000/month (2 bedroom, 1042sf)

Conclusion: I think this is a no brainer la. I would rather buy than rent. Instalment is only RM1550 with 3 bedroom. Surrounding projects stated above with only 2 bedroom and rental is similar to the instalment amount. Why rent if we can buy?

I went to showroom yesterday which located at menara U2. The showroom not quite ready yet, still had uncle doing some minor reno.

It just that im a bit turn off with some of SA from other agencies, they just sit there in showroom talk loudly, doing meeting at dining area of show units.

I mean seriously? there still a lot empty table outside why would u do that disturbing other client just because i booked from different agencies? Very unprofessional and no respects at all.

Nevertheless the showroom quite impressive, the living room feel spacious but had to compromise with smaller kitchen area. All bedroom come with designer design. Balcony quite small, only 3 feet. Well at least something than nothing.

The scale model look quite good, the infinity pool on facility deck quite huge also, gyms directly facing the pools, kids pool in shades area. The drawback? the infinity pool facing acapella hotel. On ground floor got quite a show playground and surau.

I went there around 3pm, im very surprise how vibrant and lively is around that area considering IPTA/IPTS not yet opened.Its quite busy with students carrying out their assignment and professional have a litttle break there. Hopefully dian residence got the spillover too.

Giant seksyen 13 and Acappella flooded. So this apartment affected or not?
