May I know what is the project name and current status? Have they launched the sale?

Hi all,

Please help me out.

I was looking at this development and quite at an advance stage in deciding. However, I realized the neighboring development Aston Kiara 3 price has been depreciating. The same unit which was selling 900k+ at launch is now transacting at 550k+ (300 - 400 ppsf). Allevia, being adjacent is selling at 800ppsf+.

What’s the rationale in this? Are all developments affected by the neighboring squatters? Any thoughts?

The bigger concern is the price premium between Allevia vs AK3 - and if the primary factor is due to accessibility of JK3 vs JK4.

Thanks both. I am not looking at subsale.

Working on my research of Allevia. I am just curious why the developments sandwiched by JK3 and JK4 did not provide for dual access (car, not pedestrian) to both roads but must select only one.

That’s really strange isn’t it. Valuation is 50% off just because of access road. One observation is the road has to be elevated to connect to JK4 as there is a big drain / river underneath. So the construction cost will definitely be in the millions.

Do you think DBKL would link up JK4 with Duta Kiara and make arrangement with AK3 and Richmond to grant access to JK4?

The existing road extension by the private developers of IMK and UEM Sunrise is only 1 x 1. Lots of work and capital to be borne by DBKL considering the clearing and huge drain to connect to Duta Kiara.

If they can clear the settlement sandwiched between IMK and Sefina, that is another land parcel. Accessing JK4 needs to be elevated road.

Thanks for the theorem. Indeed looking for reasons to justify the purchase. Probably with a strong bias to ignore the cons.

15 years is a long time. Allevia would have been 10 year old. Would the MRT3 for MK be located between IMK and Sefina?

Allevia would have to drive or bike to arcosis. Don’t really think is within walking distance.
Is definitely not walkable but within walking distance. For expats, they will need a car to shuttle between GIS / MKIS or even to the commercial areas - particularly if they are with children in tow.

I saw from YouTube videos, the JK4 extension from Sefina (edge) to IMK and eventually Allevia will be lit with lamp post. The end of the squatters are walled up with a slope so will be difficult to encroach to JK4 unless the last settlement within the squatters are colluding.

IMK will be populated and there will be more activities in the area going forward.

So there is a slope which is supported by retainer wall. Any ‘exclusive’ entrance will need a staircase and MKIS needs to put some sort of security protocol there. The road along that stretch is a 1 x 1 (narrowing from 3 x 3) and impossible for car to wait there without blocking Allevia and Inspirasi residences. Hence don’t bank on a back gate as MKIS will have a hard time policing it. Direct connection into Allevia just doesn’t make sense. It is a 294 units residence only. How many will house MKIS students? Any back entrance has to be for common use of the residences along JK4.

With the graded terrain and slope, it will also be costly for DBkL to join JK4 with Jln Duta Kiara.

I have done extensive research on the development. Allevia back gate will be closer to IMK. It’s I’ll be a 500m walk to GIS but the stretch from IMK to Sefina will spook any expats. From Sefina to GIS, it is really a pleasure stroll. That said, IMK will have similar concept with access to JK3 and JK4, hence they will beautify the facade and things should get better.

Do not know which party owns the squatters land but if MRT is to be located along JK4, that is the most plausible option. It was mooted to be infront of Arcosis, but that stretch is just impossible...

Thanks for the picture. I am not a civil engineer but someone has to fit classy staircase and under an elevated road but above a big drain in the design - which looks challenging.

If underground then is possible to just build several exit/entrances but the tunneling has to be along JK4. These buildings along JK4 are 30-50 floors and the piling should be deep underground.

Has MK evolved into a cycling town?

Where is the proposed location of MK MRT if it ever happens?

Would JK4 be eventually merged with Jln Duta?

Sefina should have been as successful as R22 had it been able to obtain direct access to JK4. It is very much within walking distance to Arcoris. Allevia is further down. Walkable by students but not adults (psychologically). Definitely workable with bicycles.

Allevia is sandwiched by less successful devt (AK3 and Richmond). It needs more ‘wow’ factors and one of it is consolidated affluent owner occupiers in the development which fits its large units theme.

Is there a buyer’s group chat?
