No, cause the land title still under commercial. But there has been discussion on applying to convert the land title to residential, but cakap only la, no action taken to date. Will be a big savings though if under residential title. Both water and electricity bills for the common areas are pritty high. However, Air Sel has already given us quite a bit of rebate even before we were allowed to apply for individual Air Sel water meters.

Thank again for sharing boss.
Much appreciate it

With this, the main point I wish to highlight for buyers of commercial title unit is the needs to understand that conversion of Ur unit utilities to residential rate is only solving half the problem. The common areas that you also own thru share units remains at commercial rate and you can't convert that to residential rates, well at least for now.

And a big thank you to boss tohca for sharing his experience 👍👍

Not all bad boss. Got some good also la. Owning a residential unit in a lot with commercial land title may be beneficial too in the long run. If the area booms and demand for commercial property rises (ex.. need for hotels or similar) then one may profit from price appreciation.

In the short term, owning a residential unit in a commercial area may benefit (because of location) in terms of rental returns if one is not staying there. If one stays there, then the convenience is of value too.

With respect to Serasi, with about 1500 units, each owners share of the cost of maintaining the common area should be quite low relative to the benefits. I like Serasi becuase of the location, the design, the facilities and also the plot area which is around 7 acres. 1500 units in a 7 acres land is not too bad.

Of course not all bad.
Just wanted to highlight it as i think many are not aware that the common area remains at commercial rate and also attracts ICPT Surcharge which varies every 6 months.
Have to know what you are getting into when buying a mix commercial development bcos the commercial element is uncertain.
the commercial element can also fail and the place becomes run down which can affect the residential property values. e.g. rhythm avenue

Like my boss use to say, Got pros, sure got cons...

For Serasi, i believe the commercial shoplots are sold to individuals.
Not sure if developer keeps any units but this means there is little control on the tenant types or mix.
And Serasi is part of PH Sentral which will have more development upcoming.
The commercial in PH is very slow. Only in recent years things start to pick up a bit especially the front row Onking area and the Glades with Jibby, Starbucks etc
Not sure if adding more shoplots from Serasi will bring the place up or make it worse but honestly, i won't hold my breath.

If you looking at mix development, i would suggest SJCC in SS16.
That area has more potential and it's proximity to SS15 allows it to attract spill over from SS15 commercial activities (Try looking for a parking around SS15 / 14).
Of course pricing wise will be higher but so is the potential. Just need to hunt for good values like a Predator.

Future Mainpace mall like otw in ph sentral- better for phs not to attract too many non ph ppl to come as turning it to another ss15 will be a nightmare for ph residents
*
Aiyo.... No mall please...
It's likely not going to make it...
Remember One City.....
Remember Rhythm Avenue...

Actually Main Place is also barely making it....bcos others fail, they are the only choice and their offering is quite okay, they can make ends meet...

With the high cost of living and uncertain economy in the coming years putting another mall is like ...

You go walk into The Glades new grocer ...
Staff more than customers....leh

I think a small mall in ph can make it la, now ph got giant only. Ph sentral high population can patronize this small mall😃

You do realize that if it can make it, then Giant (which is already on life support) will be dead. Maybe also Jaya Gtocer in The Glades.

It really depends on the tenant mix and who is handling the lease. If the mall units are sold to individuals there is little control and difficult to control. SDP has to retain control and it's leasing team bring in an anchor tenant.

And why must it be a mall, why not a big govt clinic where you link it with the LRT. The LRT is an interchange station where the clinic is accessible by Puchong, Kinrara, Bukit Jalil, Subang, Alam Megah shah Alam, USJ and Putra Heights. Pretty big catchment area and can boost the rental and housing demand of phs.

Why not an education hub, maybe invite Taylor or segi or inti to setup a branch at phs. Maybe the offer specific course like school of business or engineering at this new campus. Compliment Kingsley private education. This will also create demand for rental by the students, lecturers, staff etc

Why not move SDP associated companies HQ, maybe the Sime Guthrie sister company can be relocated here for their operations or invite association or agency like Malaysia Palm Oil Association (which is UOA Business Park) over here to setup offices which will create foot traffic for the shops like those in serasi and demand for housing.

Tod is not just about residential near the train station.
Can expand it to include a variety of other use.

Retail Mall usually means standardised operation hours, single owner. No mall owner will look to compete against existing operators in the area, this is not good business, they will look for complementary tenants. Retail via shop lots or equivalent, usually means individual owners. Developer can still control and guide via keeping strategic units and finding tenants for those, selling the rest. Keep for reoccurring income or dispose with tenant later.

Government institutions generally don't buy commercial space, land is surrendered for hospitals, schools, libraries etc. As part of the planning process approval.

Education hub could be viable, but makes no sense so close to Subang, with its universities and schools as well as public transport infra.

SDP, Sime Darby Berhad & SD Guthrie are completely separate entities listed on Bursa independently. They have no ties together except for a shared licensing agreement for the Brand "Sime Darby".

Boss, that is what im trying to say- block 1 launched in feb 23, so buyers here during launch expect to get vp by feb 27 as spa will be dated in feb 23. Stamping date irrelevant

Boss,
Aiyo, you should know that launch in Feb doesn't mean spa was signed in Feb.
It could be a few months down the road before spa is finalized.
Buyer needs to get loan approval, settle differential sum, lawyer needs to prepare spa, arrange signing with buyer, then big boss need to sign, then stamping, in between got festival season and ding dong here and there

You think buy vege....meh

I wash toilets only, this is what I normally see ppl do...la
Maybe big boss like you really buy property like buy vege...ya

Thanks Boss,
Not gaduh...la
Just want to highlight that the spa date could be different from launch date and any LAD can only be calculated from SPA date.
It's just a simple thing to make it clear as many buyers will have different spa date depending on when their spa is finalized.

Distance between the 2 development to LRT station.

Damayan pro is the walk is thru the shop lots and inner roads
Cons is construction just started

Pro for Serasi is construction has reached advance stage and will be completing soon.
Cons is the promise walkway is no where to be seen and need to cross the main roads. Currently no covered walkway and need to walk under the lrt track.

Neither is a good choice.

Boss your 950m distance for serasi is incorrect, it start from main entrance, not from shoplots, as per sdp. Dont rely on google map only

Boss,
Does it make a significant difference?
Maybe Google map has a 5% or 10% margin of error but it's more factual than some ppl posting here....

Serasi is definitely closer than Damayan, you should take the distance from guard house, not from some random point from google maps.

use common sense la bro. this place is still new and google maps may not be the most accurate.

for what you want to take the longest route? and its not like there is a lake and big longkang according to you, its as good as a straight line according to SD plan.

[attachmentid=11515501]

wanna share also learn how not to be bias la.
*
Boss,
Wah... now claim ppl bias... rclxms.gif

The route given by Google is the same as per your own latest map with the yellow line drawing.
And yet you claim google route is not accurate but yours is?
Don't you find you contradict yourself.

And if you refer to the latest site pictures, you'll see there is a dense green patch between Serasi development and the LRT station.
You can't walk thru it hence Google route is to walk along the roads underneath the LRT track which you yourself drawn the same line.

Now, you tell me who is bias and who is not using his common sense?

Until a proper walkway is build and the green patch is cleared for the next development, and we can see the walkway starting point, then we can calculate and say what's the distance is. Don't forget, the next development might make the walkway twist and turn more, resulting in a longer walk but that's speculation on my part.

Until then the only walkable route is what you yourself drawn and is the same from google map.
I haven't seen the walkway and don't know when it will be build, so I won't speculate and can only calculate based on what is available.

Why are you all so defensive over a difference of 25m, 50m or 100m from a starting point until have to go so low calling ppl no common sense and bias?
