I did not really go through Alira but I really like the badminton court. Amika facility will be Japanese concept which may be something special but I only interested in swimming, jogging and gym. The rest I not so particular for now. Hopefully, I will change my mind after VP.

I think the furnishing compared to Alira should be the same.
1. Kitchen Cabinet top and bottom
2. Hood and Hob (Teka)
3. 2 Heater Shower (Rubine)
4. Digital Lock. I heard Alira not included.

I was looking at SP2 actually but chose to skip it due to several reasons. I believe you booked SP2 right? I might have booked SP2 if got the early bird promo. Would have been your neighbor haha. But still not too far away. Really looking forward to 2024 Q1 when SP1 shoppes are open (any news on the current progress or if there will be delay?).

hi hernan83, i am considering between Amika and SP2, can you share a bit what factors made you skip SP2 ?

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.

i see i see, thanks for the input, i m taking all the views into consideration because i do prefer amika, but still think i haven't seen enough to decide

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

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

I did my booking last week, 6+2 % for floor 20th and below, and just one week before, they had 8+2%. But they have another - RM5k for signing incentive.

like what macbookpro88 mentioned, from the agent graphic table, i can see that floor above 20 still quite a lot unit, but below 20, i rmb seeing almost all occupied. As for layout type A, only left 8th and 9th floor after i book, the last unit for block A floor between 10-20th.

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.
*
The ones facing the park only Type C which is above my budget sweat.gif

Congrats bro/ future neighbor. Which type u booked? A or B?

Mind to share what made you chose Amika over SP2?
*
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.

There are some quite similar points as you mentioned

1. Maintenance fees slightly higher. RM0.45 per sqf
2. SP2 have no guardhouse for carpark.

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

What do you guys think of the lifts ? 10 years ago I rented condo in PV10 which they have the longer stretcher lifts for transport bigger items, like some condo they have specific lifts for contractor use, while for Amika layout itself, seems like 3 same sized lifts. Also like no dedicated lift for Garbage use, or perhaps only more high end condo have those?

Not sure if I have the right answer as I have no experience in living in serviced apartments. But this question did cross my mind and I asked my agent, he said normally after VP they will use scaffold to cover the lift and let this lift be used for furniture/renovation. Once the grace period over, the lift will be closed for contractors and can only be used for resident/visitor. Usage for furniture/renovation after the grace period will be the Bomba lift. Again, I also not sure if I see the Bomba lift in the plan.

Garbage I not so sure. I all the while thought it is some kind of chute and it will slide down. If have to bring own garbage down by lift, doesn't seem to hygienic.
*
I think you mean use canvas to cover the lift. I was looking around Damen Residence and notice they actually use 3 lifts too but worst part 2 duplex lift and 1 simplex bomba lift in the lobby. Meaning the 2 lifts share one button, and the other bomba lift it's own one button. Ppl will just press both see which one come first. I have no idea why they configure it that way. The bomba lift is covered with canvas and i guess like you mentioned for contractor use.

I am pretty sure high rise don't use garbage chute anymore sweat.gif but every floor should have one small room to dump the rubbish.

And also one thing i noticed abut Damen residence is the corridor is covered and kinda stuffy when walking along the corridor, the smell of the rubbish kinda lingers around the corridor. I see Amika corridor also similar, hopefully wont have this problem in the future.

visited the show units, fuhhh! super pricey imo. if comparing with others out of subang which are in the range of 1200sqft... layout wise, dwitara and sunway flora win.
aurum layout also so-so especially the small kitchen.
*
I believe Subang Area the price range around there

Anyone has Amika site progress update ? and is it normal for the SPA to not be stamped yet? Ive signed my SPA on October
*
Last i heard from the RevUp event (Early Feb 2024), piling works started but they still haven't get the DL, thus cannot stamp yet. Expect around mid June only the loan start (means progress?)

whats a DL ya ? and you got amika as well?

Yeap, signed mine at December.
For now ours consider "registration" or "booking". something like developer actually need APDL (Advertising Permit & Developer License) only can start selling. By that time only developer will require down payment.

by the way my agent just update me the DL obtained and i search from KPKT website its there, the advertising permit is there too.

https://teduh.kpkt.gov.my/project-swasta/20185-3

meaning y'all who booked the unit will need to fork out down payment soon in which the SPA will be official, and hopefully start constructing soon! nod.gif

You should be receiving the email from developer as well regarding the downpayment and expected date to receive the SPA.
