Thanks to LS for the heads-up

Upcoming project by Sime Darby:
Hype Residences

The link is not working

Pls check, I tried a few times, the site works

Nice place for investment.

Great for both ownstay and investment.
Great TOD in SJ but the return is highly determined by the selling price SDP gonna set.


Rather exciting one.

Yesss it does work.

Maybe try to search manually on fb.

wtf is that the real name

usj 7?i think is tat empty land tat vacant long time ago...

I didn't realize it was there. Yes, by the Shell station

I know what you mean, it's all hype

Indeed very uncommon name for a residential property.

Iron Bro, which part of the entire piece of land? Near Damen?

Just beside LRT USJ 7 station. After the shell petrol station

Sime darby one wont be cheap anyway. For sure it wont be below average psf at that area.

Yeah. Norm for big developers as they’re aware buyers have confident purchasing from them.

If Psf around 700-800 for todays context…I guess can sell well.

If 900-1k, hmm. Much better choice out there that are TODs too.

Wah not bad for those targeting for TOD.

If I recall correctly, Iron Bro, your friend maybe interested for this. Near Train station without need to walk far.

Just that noise from the track might be a concerns. But that’s give and take…hopefully SDP will address for those units near the track.

I think their theme is, you get all hyped up about its features

Ben, in front of Da Men's Decathlon, there's a triangular area with an abandoned project, then next to that is a rectangular piece of land where the Shell station occupies one corner. The first phase will be next to the Shell station. Facing the low cost flats on one side, the triangular land on another side, and light industrial zone on the third side

Ben, you have a good memory. That's right, my friend looking for ToD. Bought already, Perla @Ara Sentral. LRT sound quite audible as the tracks pass by, so tone that down with higher floor.

I think this first phase will be the area behind the Shell station, right next to the abandoned triangular land.

700+ units, 2 blocks, 2-3 room, 700 to 1100++ sqft
Scale model not yet ready, launching likely in Oct

Iron bro, can pm me the info you had?

I’m looking forward to explore more.

Thanks in advance.

I see.

Then it will located really near to the station.

I guess SDP will make a direct connection to it…something like Surian MRt to Tropicana garden. If that’s the case, can attract some sunway students to rent here.

You mean like raised up link bridge. They'd have to, or allow the people to jump onto the BRT bus since the track passes by right next to it.

But Sunway students would prefer staying in Sunway I think, there's many condos there, can walk, no need BRT. BRT can be quite packed and have to wait for next one.

Yes agree with you bro. But the rental around sunway area like geo and geolake…room rental rates are crazy. 1k++ for mid and master room.

It could be a more affordable option. A friend of mine studying in sunway uni is renting in Damen.

Kids who study in Sunway area can afford that, rather than have to cram into a small bus every time when need to commute between college and home.

This post has been edited by IronManz: Aug 18 2023, 11:38 PM

There’s still demand for usj1 area for sunway students. Not all comes from a fortunate family.( agree some rich man kids studying there) Some just priorities on quality of education for future generations.

Let’s hope SDP don’t disappoint us in positioning their product and most importantly the price psf and packages they’re offering.

Ben, you're right, parents of kids who have to pay RM1k+ for just a room could better consider buying an affordable ToD condo nearby and use the RM1k+ to partially pay for the monthly installment. Why help someone else (your landlord) pay his/her installment? Better use that monthly expense to help yourself own a home.

For those who already stay near Da Men which has been there for awhile, Hype is a fresh option.

i wonder where's the entrance & exit for this, all possible exits will be super jam anyway.

Yeap all sides are jam packed during peak hours.

Just wonder how SDP going to address the triangular shaped abandoned site? Takeover or beautify it?

Yes. And room rentals or whole unit rentals around usj1 is way more affordable than those within Sunway City.

On top of that, it might attract some working adults that’s regular commuters which travel to work around pj or Subang area.

Hahaha but after all, the price and packages determine the value of it.

Should be next to Shell station. Only this side or the other side that opens to the road facing the light industrial area

It doesn't belong to them, the staff say. Can go to gallery and ask staff to suggest to developer to buy it over

Arh I see. Thanks ironmanz bro.

Less likely they will takeover in the meantime…maybe if the development does do well in the near future. Developer would less likely listen to little audience like me…if the director or ceo suggest…maybe higher chance. 😅

Gather signatures, people power

Those who are interested, may drop by the Teja Sales gallery to check out for more details.

1 hk youtuber d son stay in damen take brt to sunway for classes, bcos damen rental a lot cheaper

Sdp says lrt stn 80m away, i tot hype so near should be around 50m+ away only?

Entrance should be via kewajipan n persiaran subang. Will build ramp also but nt sure to where

This post has been edited by BRE: Aug 31 2023, 03:03 PM

I guess the entrance will be after the Shell station. Distance is near, hope the walkway is raised up else does not really count as ToD

As long as BRT is convenient and not needing to frequently go back in between classes, else quite some time spent on waiting for the bus to and fro also

Waiting time for brt bus im nt sure, but from usj7 to sunway n monash u i think abt 15-20min only, so worth it to save at least rm1k a month i think?

Agree, trade off RM vs time

SJ7 Development by Sime Darby
Another one of the developer’s TOD developments — SJ7 — is coming up near LRT station No 7. According to Salem Kailany, head of property development 2, the site on which SJ7 will be built used to be the office of one of Sime Darby Bhd’s subsidiary companies. “We have relocated the office and submitted the papers for the conversion of the land from industrial to commercial,” he says.

SJ7 will have an integrated station for both the LRT extension and the bus rapid transit (BRT) line that connect SJ 7 to Sunway and Sungei Way, making it the only development with both transport terminals integrated into it.

The 35-acre freehold development in Persiaran Kewajipan, USJ7, is located 6km from the SJCC and will feature 10 to 11 blocks offering 320 SoHos and 2008 apartments. The built-ups are between 580 and 1,500 sq ft while the prices start at RM750 psf.

The GFA of the project’s retail component stands at 1.5 million sq ft, office space at 783,130 sq ft and hotel at 661,400 sq ft. The GDV is estimated at RM3.86 billion.

The four-star, 12-storey hotel will feature 210 rooms, and serviced suites and retail outlets. The average room rate has yet to be determined.

The office component comprises four blocks offering units with built-ups of 220,000 to 240,000 sq ft and one block of shopoffices.



--------------

still following the same blue print or change already?

Transit Oriented Development is the exciting fast growing trend in creating vibrant, livable, sustainable communities. Also known as TOD, it's the creation of compact, walkable, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use communities centered around high quality train systems. This makes it possible to live a lower-stress life without complete dependence on a car for mobility and survival.


in reality - most of them dwellers WILL use own transport to drive around, contributing more jam to that area

really GG to that simpang ampat behind da men/old Giant





definitely can hear the brake screeching from the lrt

Great investigative find, Jim.

Would have to ask those who visited the SJCC gallery to know if it's the same master plan. Didn't realize this was conceived so many years ago, why did it take that long to launch?

The current phase should be the block behind the Shell station in the scale model.

I when to SJCC, this scale photo is not the same as what I saw at the showroom future unit.

Thanks for the sharing, Pooh, agree, probably the integrated project has changed, the older one includes SOHO and a hotel.
2014 news

Bro, u buying hype after serasi?😄

Looks like someone wants to become SDP collector already

Go for it, we support you

Heard about that projects many years ago actually, and does anyone remember it used to be the site of sime rengo packaging? USJ ppl surely remember this

This post has been edited by JimbeamofNRT: Sep 3 2023, 12:29 AM

Wah Pooh bro is the big boss.

Nxt time VP, invite us over haha.

I couldn’t recall which articles…but the plan was having 5k++ of serviced apartment units in the 30++ acres master plan.

My concerns are the supply to such area as Damen Residences etc…plenty of existing supply on that site. According to iproperty and property guru, rental yield are on the rather low side.

Maybe there’s not much of catalyst in the area for the time being.

Not to forget…Sunway is also having plot of land which giant USJ1 is currently sitting on. It would be a TOD based development as well.

Considering it's ToD, is the reason currently low rental because existing places are dated? So new ToD project like this will be more appealing than nearby options, thus high tenant demand. Not good news for existing condos

Yes it would be more appealing to tenants. Hype greatest advatanges is it’s proximity to the stations which Sunway plot of land has to walk abit more (even with pedestrian walkway).

Damen residence rental nt doing well maybe because dm mall not doing very well, only 30%-40% occupied i think. Hype will do better i think as its nearer to lrt stn n more convenient

Boss you want to get other Samm unit too!!!

? You guys can buy as a group, more interesting

Not qualified to buy😔

U geeting yr 2nd samm unit in hype?😜

Boss ironmanz, u bought south residence in tmp?

I went google check , and it marked as 'SDP USJ New TOD project'

I wonder anyone has made any comparison of this with HCK Group that took over Remix 1 & 2 from Mammoth? While not a tod development, it's proximity, the setting up of a higher education center within the development itself and with Kumpool serving the last mile to LRT station, it present a viable alternative.

What can this development by SDP bring to differentiate itself from the others and also within it own development as there are still land next to it. Anyone seen the latest master plan?

And if Sunway do launch their own development, this will just add on the supply and all products are very similar i.e. targeting students. Can the market absorb all the supply while maintaining prices?

Bear in mind we are not talking about 1k or 2k units available. If we combine HCK, SDP and Sunway developments, the supply could reach 5k to 6k units, conservative estimation. Don't forget the existing supply.
Even without Sunway jumping in, the ones in the pipeline is already quite substantial.

So, a USP that standout and meet the market demand is very critical in this highly competitive environment.

Hi Bre, yes, shared about this in another thread

I think Hype's direct connection to a station will attract the buyers who prefer public transport. Providing last mile service is ok, but there's still the wait for that connection, as well as no certainty it'll be there for how long.

Sunway city is an educity, there's many condos but demand is high. And being directly connected to a station means that you're not confined to only servicing people who work/study nearby, they could be working/studying anywhere that's near to a station.

Well if they sell the unit price almost similar like Serasi, I might get 1 unit here!!!
SD any pre-owed unit can get additional 1.5% discount from the official price.

Pooh, you mean SD owners get extra 1.5% discount when they buy another SD property? Go for it then

While the direct connection or close proximity to the station might be an advantage it doesn't guarantee success. Look at Rhythm Avenue in USJ 19. It's just next to the station but it's value didn't appreciate despite that.
Compare it to Main Place, which isn't near any station and a good 500m away from any station, it's doing okay. Not fantastic but at least holding it's value.

It's a double edge sword being close to a station. While it provide an alternative mode of transportation and convenient, it also create more noise, traffic, reduced privacy, security, high density etc
It's pros and cons need to be evaluated objectively rather than just looking at its direct link to station. There are similar development with such feature and it doesn't guarantee value.

Last mile connection like Kumpool is gaining popularity among students. I understand Taylor students use it's service quite extensively and the app managing it's service from booking and tracking the vehicle is quite good. Not perfect and has it issues, which hopefully will be improve over time.

Be wary of the hype generated by developer. Keep ur head level and do your due diligence. Look at the data and the competition, at least you know what you are getting into.

By analysing the market price in the surrounding area, you'll know what is the entry price to go in and what's the price you'll avoid. Developer does something similar when pricing their product but they take into account a whole lot more variables.

And also note the land title. Likely this will be converted from industrial to commercial title, meaning utilities rate will be higher. Of course owners can apply to convert it to residential but note the word "apply"....ya

Happy hunting ...

Agree that a ToD has its downs, a buyer preferring ToD would be ok with those factors as connection to ToD is the top priority for him/her. Difference with last mile connections is that the direct link bridge is perpetually there, with connections it depends on whether would still be there decades from now

Boss,
I'm trying to highlight don't just look at 1 feature like the direct link bcos there are compensating option/solution. It may not be perfect but there is an alternative. So don't need to put too much weight on it.

Just to share another example on over emphasis on 1 feature. Many moons ago, many of us (myself included) bought properties in Semenyih land. The need for an affordable landed of reasonable size from an established developer was the driving force. All other points was secondary, like the distance from place of work or CBD.
However, upon VP and upon trying it out, we soon realize that despite getting the property we wanted, the cost was extremely high and tiring. Both physically and mentally and not only on ourselves but also our family.

Needless to say, plans had to be revised and the investment wasn't as rosy as it was thought to be.

While this is just a shared experience from a few and is not representative of the market or the general buyers, the point is, we must do our homework with a level and clear head and not be too influence by hype created by developer. Be prepare to fail in your choices and just make sure you don't have to visit the 18th floor.

As my boss use to say, got pros sure got cons....ya

Happy hunting....ya

Was pointing out why buyers who prefer ToD would be going for such, since direct link would be their top priority.

How many SAMM unit can an individual eligible to get?
Isn’t it only one per individual? Hahaha I’m amazed with the word “other” hehe.

Yes LongShot boss you’re right. Do not solely depend on one factors…best to have multiple but price also must be nice. If multiple features, price also multiple X.

Proxy buyer ma🤣

Don't say so loud! 🐼🐔🤣🦁😁😅

Bro pooh sibeh loaded🤣 how many samm units in serasi u buy liao bro?😜

tbh, though tod project, ppl still driving due to connectivity issue to certain places hence tod is not really in my prime consideration in choosing the prop.

Likely for those who take lrt mrt to work.

This TOD project is meant for foreign students to stay, so this area
doesn't suit your lifestyle.🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

Boss,
For pricing, in recent years SDP have been known not to leave much on the table for their buyers.
Maybe bits and pieces of bones might have.

However, some still prefer them, maybe due to different buyers have different expectations.

Friendly advise Boss,
Leave affordable units to those who deserve it.
Don't touch....la
Make money with open market units.

was it opened for booking now? or just the scaled model with bit of info at SCJJ sales galley only?

I understand that it's similar to recent SD projects i.e. you may leave a deposit now, to be registered as an early bird, then when the unit selection day is confirmed and comes, early birds get a some amount of time to choose a unit before the public gets access. With Teja the selection was online, and I undersand that SD staff got to book early too, before the early birds. Best to ask the SD staff on the more specific details.

Board the BRT on USJ1-SouthQuay to BRT SunU is just 1 station away, BRT USJ1 is just right beside the Sunway Intl School, Impian Meridian is just right beside as well, there's another low cost apartment but can't recall the name. Many Sunway Monash Taylor students renting Impian Meridian due to reasonable rental.

There is even more convenient than USJ7 due to no need to transit via LRT. BRT is way more stable and no need suffer the usual train breakdowns which occur frequently in KJ line

In some occasion it is even more convenient than staying in Sunway City itself due to those Sunway condos need to talk more distance

Last time heard many blacks staying in impian meridien, now dono whtr still d same?

D convenience of staying near usj 7 stn is bcos its an interchange stn for lrt n brt so no need to transit

Still got foreigner Blackie stay at Meridien & Casa Subang as well.
I think becos of cheap rental here, they prefer this location.

Still very "chap" condo?🙄 hopefully hype wont be like them?

This hype really very near the lrt stn, the main selling point, but the jam is quite bad so residents have good reasons to take lrt n brt to move around

Bad traffic area

Better wait for another launching beside BRT USJ1 opposite the Kenwingston Skyloft in Q2 next year. With more competitve price than SD.

Ya I saw the signboard everyday, just in front my condo unit.
Interesting, I wonder how you know they will launch next year Q2!!!

Land under which developer?
