Yes, means likely will go to the swimming pool frequently since it's in own back yard, no need through common corridor

The access looks nice. Shortcut to the pool. But like you mentioned, seems like the rain and dirt can easily accumulate at that area compared to to the upper levels. And even though you have privacy from the pool, the upper levels seems like able to see what is happening below.

I just went over for a walk at the park with my 2 kids last weekend. Not many people around there but I guess most people will not jog or walk their pets at 10 am. Overall the park looks properly maintained and clean. Fishes are plenty in the lake which I believe the water quality is still good. Plan to go there again this weekend to feed the fishes with the kids.

Hernan, yes, I saw huge fish the other day, turtles, ...
Go after 5pm, you will see dog lovers gather near the area across from Alira

From what I heard, there are quite a lot of dogs around the park. During my walk, hardly find any dog droppings around, well maybe just 1. I have no issues with dogs but I have issues with the owners that just let their dog pee at my car and do not pick up the droppings. What I can see here, the community here are quite civic minded. Hope it stays this way all the time.

Hernan, during the evenings the dog lovers gather at that point with their dogs, mostly on leash, though a few let them loose

I saw some stray dogs gather near the Pandora side of the entrance to the park

Hawk1lo, have you checked out the sales gallery and showrooms for both projects?
Best to see first hand before deciding.

1. Limited units available. As of 3-4 months ago, as I remember all units facing park almost sold out and no more 2% rebate.
2. Maintenance fees slightly higher. RM0.45 per sqf
3. SP2 have no guardhouse for carpark. The concept is like shopping mall but it is separated between resident and others.
4. Not really like the shopping mall directly under my unit. Although it will be very convenient but may be a bit crowded.

Most important is what you prefer. Each have their pros and cons.
*
Thanks for the sharing Hernan.
1. Can check the sales gallery now and then because some unit bookings open due to various reasons, have seen that over time. e.g. the last time I checked, a few units for the types 01-07 opened back compared to the previous visit
3 and 4. Amika also has retail units, won't that be similar? You have separate entrance/exit points to the different parts of the car park. SP2 only has 2 floors of retail, the design is not so much like a heavy duty mall but more of lepakking for al fresco dining

Hi IronManz, yes i checked both Sales Gallery, but after going through the forums here i realize there are things i didn't put into consideration before such as the guardhouse as hernan83 mentioned. Currently agent told me Amika only 8% rebate, last weekend they had 8+2%, and back in september they have 8+2% rebate. Is these rebates kinda like On and Off thing?
*
They may vary over time because the +2% usually is a temporary topup , sometimes they may replace with other perks

Thanks for the input Hernan83 and Ironmanz. I plan to visit Amika Gallery this weekend again to see more detail on the unit selection, rebates and current offers.

For SP2 i rmb when looking at the unit selection, there is a middle space in between, if not mistaken something like a pump room. Pretty sure any units nearby or below is not recommended because of noise or possible water leak? I am not aware if Amika have such. Wanted to find out this weekend too
*
Good, check it out carefully. I would choose the units which are facing the park.
I think the current rebate is 8%.
The nett is roughly RM710++ psf I heard from a staff.

There's 25 retail units and these are concentrated on one part of Amika i.e. the part facing one end of the urban park.

Quite many units still unsold, specially on higher floor above 20, some were booked, unsold unit probably still more than 50% based on the data graphic agent show me.

Your agent very nice to show that info

Which sides / block are more popular?

I see. Then can choose the ones facing the facilities?
If facing Sri Kdu, then in future will also face Federal Avenue

I somehow don't like the idea of going into balcony and kind of can see the other block. But then actually when Federal Avenue is up, i guess not much different. Just a bit more further
I just knew the future development name is called Federal Avenue  sweat.gif

That's right, Hawk, they've started building the sales gallery, and am looking forward to see how our neighbours develop

Yes, it'll be quite a distance, not as bad as can see clear details without binoculars. Those facing the urban park will be looking at the future development of Tmp too

Comparing between SP2 and Amika,
-My main preference of Amika will be Amika's unit 2+1 rooms layout vs SP2 3 room layout.
-Last to be completed in Subang Metropark.

*
Note that both are expected for completion in 2027, and there's still the future development land facing Amika/Alira

For me, as long as it is not directly beside. Like currently Paisley have to bear with Alira construction. By the time Amika complete, there will be no construction directly beside as Alira will be completed and the other side is the main road. Any development will be across Sri KDU and the urban park, which have quite some distance.

Good.
