Have to understand that Amika is an own-stay project as the instalment will definitely higher than the potential rental as the surrounding and existing residences such as Pandora, Paloma and Paisley are hardly rented out with a rental of RM2,000.

Hopefully the population within the area could support the prosperity of the commercial there.

Yeah. I am buying it for own stay.

I would say the only advantage for rental is it is closest to Sri KDU International School. But the other residences are pretty close anyway.

Which type of layout you buy?

Do you guys have any information about the commercial development opposite of the park?

Hi Sanji, you're interested in the Southplace shoppes? There's a separate lowyat topic thread on that:
Southplace

Mercato is the anchor tenant,
there's 3 floors of commercial shoplots where
LG: all taken
L1: all taken except 3
L2: near half taken

Or did you mean the empty plot of land immediately across Amika?

I'm quite sure it would, with the Metropark residents as well as the catchment area (USJ Heights, Subang Heights, ...)

Type A - 883 sqf

Would like to face the park but only Type C (Tower B) will be facing that direction. So I choose facing the facility and Alira.

Since both Amika and Alira is by the same developer, how would you all differentiate the two products? Both also for ownstay?

The concept and location make both projects more suitable for own stay now.

Amika is of lower density while Alira has more layout options.

Amika is of Japanese concept also.

It's tandem carpark or side-by-side carpark?
Residential title?

How would you compare Amika with the launching Hype Residence USJ 7 by SDP?

Mine is side by side. You mean tandem is 2 cars in 1 parking lot where the car parked inside will be stuck? I think have front and back but will not be blocked.
So far most of the projects i survey is commercial under HDA and Amika is the same.

I didnt monitor Hype Residence so unable to comment much. Only thing I can comment is the options for public transport definitely much better than Tropicana Metropark. That should be a plus point for investment purpose. But for own stay, i think depends on personal preference. I always wanted a place where I can walk down and morning walk/jog without needing to drive there. My concern will be the maintenance of the park in the long term.

Got any floor plans?
I am interested but busy working so I need to see the floor plan first then only go to visit show room later.

The official website is here: https://amikaresidences.my/, linked from developer website,
and we see that they've also put up banners along Sunway ... if you fill in the form, they will quickly respond and send you the layouts, experienced that before with developer staff

Which layout you interested in?

I can help to snap photo of the brochure.

Good stuff Hernan, building up the Amika community

For those that are interested, can check the layouts here. Just done my signing today.

Also, do hit me up if you for referral, we can split them.

Congrats Steven.
Can share why you went for Amika vs Alira/Alora/Hype/Teja/Pinnacle (others in SJ)?

I'm buying for own stay, similar to hernan, I've been in Subang all my life.

In terms of distance from family, and amenities I am familiar with, Alora's out of the question for me. Not interested in TODs as well, so Pinnacle & Hype is off the list. Also bought a smaller unit in Alira for investment previously (wasn't as informed about properties 2 years back, but I thought the urban park and facilities Alira offered are great).

Why I chose Amika over Teja,
1. Layout
2. Concept
3. Urban Park
4. I managed to book a Garden unit (like the idea of walking out to a pool from my house)
5. Having a kid soon, so next to International school is a plus.
6. More commercials like SP1&2, the retail below residence will be ready by the time Amika is complete.
7. Easy access to federal (work in KL area)
8. Familiar with Ayala as a developer, as I've worked in Philippines before. Fingers crossed they will make a statement out of their first few projects.

The only doubt/worry I have about my unit in Amika is,
Garden area is not fully covered, and friends who don't own Garden unit before are telling me it'll be raining with cigarette butts, wine corks, etc. which maybe those retractable awning will help

This website is good.
Can make better decisions.

Interested in Type B for own stay.

Agreed
