Quite a fan of Eupe’s whimsical designs. At least they are doing things with a bit of a twist.

Am I right in thinking that RSKU is a better implementation of affordable housing compared to rumahwip?

RSKU is just studios priced slightly lesser on a psf basis. You’re integrated into a full development and you’re just in the starter unit.

As opposed to a full tower of affordable housing in Rumahwip where the intention has been to make it as cheap as possible.

If you look at Singapore’s HDB methodology they intentionally wanted to promote upward social mobility by mixing socio economic groups.

It’s a fantastic buy as you get the smallest, most investor-friendly unit at the lowest psf and get access to all the facilities. It’ll be a winner whether u rent it out right away or after the legal wait period.

Eupe did Novum Bangsar South and Parc 3 Cheras that have vped. They have a handful of others still selling. I think they’re from Kedah?

I like their practical yet unconventional designs. They’re big on decorative motifs.

Interesting. I think Rumahwip doesn’t care anymore if you rent it out but Selangor does?

I think since RSKU is integrated into the full priced development, the own stayers are already annoyed at having to share facilities with them so will be quite vigilant and find fault. Seems to be a fairly common sentiment I’ve observed.

Rumahwip is a whole building of the same first homeowners so no one is making any noise as it might impact them too.

Look at the price. Yea first home owners should definitely try to score one as the building block of their personal asset base even if you don’t live in it.

Quite sad also. So heavily subsidised and it still goes to lelong. I think anyone can bid on an auction affordable property right with some t and c.

Seems like any project with a bit of showy qualities will get turned into Airbnb. I suppose if for own stay then opt for better unit quality and bigger size rather than impressive facilities.
