hi, which is the side with the odour smell ya?
The side facing the facility?

Dunno if there are any sides facing odour.. Block A facing kantonmen mrt station has a sizeable drain in front.

Dunno if there is any odour from the drain. My friend told me his SA said no smell.

Isn't that a river rather than a drain?

Dunno if it's a river or drain but the water doesn't look clean.

uoa the best

It's actually a river. Called sungai batu. But agree that the water flow is not great. Not clean as well, but at least there is no flooding over there I guess.

mlys which drain/river is clean one.....

According to boomers live in the area, the river did overflowed many years ago.

That’s a river… for me it doesn’t look clean as well

Quite densely built project, retail units might be better compared to residence. Can’t imagine the jam nearby that area

Anything sounds like Bangsar is Bxx lah ?

Nowadays, it's normal to have high dense projects for TOD. ASTRUM Ampang has 5,225 units spread over 6 blocks of high rise..

R&F in Johor Baru near RTS has 15,000 service apartment units spread across 5 towers. 1 tower has 3,000 units.

For TOD, the plot ratio can go as high as 12x.

Surprised to see people talking about Property Investing, can ignore the " supply and demand " factor .

So is it normal to expect the over supplies of properties in KL and have little impacts on rental markets ?

The over supply of properties in China now can practically cater for the whole population of Germany to move in ...and still got some balances ( just an example ).

JB has the strong support of Spore currency and future RTS , where many can earn in S$ , spend and invest in JB in ringgit. A private Apartment in Spore can easy fetch RM 4M ....About 40% of those going to retire in Spore , have plans to move to JB. Expect the same scenario at BH ?

I heard from my friends who invested in bangsar south,there is a strong influx of overseas students going to do exchange programme with uni malaya and majority of these students are staying in bangsar south fuelling a over demand in bangsar south now.
Thr is still a steady stream of expats staying in bangsar south. Mrt3 station will interchange with existing universiti lrt further improving connectivity.

Bamboo Hills Residence only has 4 + 1 lifts serving 18-21 units per floor, imagine early in the morning when you are leaving for work, how many rounds of lift do you have to wait?

provided there are no frequent breakdowns after 3 to 5 years of heavy usage ..

I heard from investor friend they have low zone and high zone lifts which may help.

Total lifts 4 + 4 + 1, obviously you can't have a floor which is low zone & high zone at the same time, so 1 floor only has 4 + 1 lifts serving 18-21 units (2-3 rooms) per floor, you do the maths, can you name any other project that has this few lifts serving this many units per floor?

For investing in properties , we never depend on someone's hearsays . Do DD.

And we do not over buy the catchy theme such as " Actually, we take Bamboo Hills as another Bangsar South". To me it is just another way to say " Anything sounds like Bangsar is BBB." .

Facts and figures are more important to us ( as investors ) than to over depend on mere "assumptions" or hearsays given ...

Agree. Do your own DD.

There will never be another Desa parkcity or Bangsar south. Both macro and micro environment factors are different for every region.

Being near to LRT/MRT doesn't guarantee success. Bangsar trade center has more convenient LRT distance but failed, bangsar south needs to walk for few hundred meters succeeded. MSC status played a big part, convenience also. Noticed a lot of successful township needs upfront capital outlay by developers which not many willing to do.

Bamboo hill is a smaller plot of land with not much development potential within near proximity and no grade A office tower(this itself might fail gloriously given oversupply of office tower). So while it may not fail miserably,.don't expect Bangsar south kind of success. UOA didn't say it's BS2 anyway.
