I believe in MBSA jurisdiction, in the case for Linari, the contractor itself I believe is Serene Impian, which has inhouse construction company to construct the buildings.

If you recall, all the lands in Kwasa belong to EPF. EPF gave the development rights to these contractors to construct the condo/houses i.e. to YTL, Gadang, TSR Capital & Serene Impian (these are property developers which are also contractors).

EPF won’t give the development rights to property developers (who do not have in-house construction companies) as eventually property developers will subcontract to external contractors to construct the buildings (for eg Sime Darby Property will outsource construction to an external party) - as this is to reduce cost, contractors can achieve higher margins and buyers obtain reasonable price to buy the houses

What size is this show unit?

Curious what freebies do u mean?

Well, i am not expert in this

hence asked for opinion

afterall owner will need to be able to check this and know which municipal to pay taksiran down the road etc

Hi all, I'm considering pulling the trigger on this property for my own stay and need your help to think of downsides so I have a more holistic view.

1. Not a prolific developer. Most of their prior work leans towards premium landed homes.
2. Location isn't great. It's bolstered by being a very short walk to the MRT but if it stays exactly the same for it's lifetime, it'll be a very boring place.
3. No clear claim on pet friendliness. While they don't outright ban pets, unlike my current place they don't explicitly mention pets are allowed hence, leans towards being NOT pet friendly.

If it helps, the Positives or reasons I'm interested.

1. The price. Not cheap but very reasonable.
2. Right next to MRT. In the worst case (besides project being abandoned) Kwasa remains exactly this way forever. The MRT will still be there forever which helps me with my goal of going carless in the future.
3. Low-ish density. Less than 500 units.
4. Big layout and spacious.

That's it! If you have strong opinions why this is a bad property feel free to share!

Do u mean Abadi piling for the contractor? Or did they appoint one already?

My concern is also the close proximity to sg buloh factories and MRT depot.
Does it pose any noise polution past midnight hours for repair, maintenance work etc?

That's a good point. Ignoring traffic from Elmina and all, the affordable housing nearby apparently has 4000+ units? If we estimate a modest 5% of any given population are assholes (littering, break stuff, generally being unplrasant), that's 200+ units worth of assholes crowding the area.

Anyone join the event this week?

Just got back from Linari. Mine is already stamped, however it is not ready to pick up yet. Maybe later will need to arrange to go to Linari again coz developer want to pass it physically.

If anyone interest, I can refer to my agent and we can split the referral fee yea. Although it’s not much.

There’s no referral fee from the developer.

Also, is there an owner group?

Yes. I booked mine Type C and the next day agent told me not longer accept booking from non-bumi anymore... Lucky me.....

I believe that they will apply so that open to non-bumi to buy if there is no demand for the bumi-lots after some time. It should be the same happened to YTL's dedaun rimba wich was launched a long time ago so the authority has decided to open the bumi-lot.

Anyway, I wish that Kwasa Damansara can attract a lot of medium and high-income groups regardless bumi or non-bumi so that the area can grow rapidly. Otherwise, we need to travel to KD for food and etc.. It is lucky that KD is not far and 20mins time if by MRT which is just very short walking distance from Linari.

you want all the amenities, you have to wait for other projects to complete 1st.

probably after 1-2 year when linari is completed, hopefully rumah selangor and sunsuria nearby have shop lot.

also, at lobby level there developer planned to to have a cafe for residents.

in the meantime, its either KD or EPF HQ there got food truck, idk if public can access or not.

There are already some neighbourhood malls in nearby neighbourhoods like SB Mall, Star Avenue and the latest Elmina Lakeside Mall. Once Kwasa is developing, i am sure someone will build a neighbourhood mall. Now nothing is up yet so no point to build any mall. Elmina lakeside mall took like 8 years to be built since the first project in elmina was launched. I would expect at least 5 years for Kwasa.

If I am not mistaken, there are close to 5k affordable homes but I think it should be managable due to two MRT stations are there. I am currently staying in Setia Alam where the place totally no public transport and with more than 5k of Selangorku build up. The only highway is NKVE and is worst now during peak hours. Forget about DASH as is not directly link to Setia Alam. Hence, I feel your concern too about Kwasa. This is my reason to get this Linari since it is very close to MRT station.

good or bad news

When Kwasa was announced by then PM Najib, i envisioned a lot of landed property will be built there and was targeting to get myself a terrace house there since at that time the location was quite far away. Since then there was a lot of political lobbying for land there, disruptions, covid, political changes inside and outside BN and now only starting to take off. During that time i realised instead of landed property, the majority will be high rise. If you choose highrise, there are plenty of options in better locations nearer the city, kota damansara and PJ/ Subang. My take is that kwasa traffic will be bad even from day 1 when the first highrise is completed due to the surrounding neighbourhooods.
