A new condominium+park home project on a freehold residential land in Kwasa Damansara. Low density, freehold, large size (1100sf & above), residential land, opposite KWSP, beside MRT station

is it by a reputable developer?

Developer is Impiana Land, established developer but not many portfolio, strong cable, this project has not started already awarded another project in Kwasa Damansara called Serene Kwasa Damansara. Visited the sales gallery at the actual site, quite impressive.

What are the prices?

very niche developer. if u drive through Penchala Link from Hartamas/MK to TTDI, you may see the bungalow/semi-d above Petronas (serene kiara & villa serene kiara), all those houses were built by this developer

Net price lower than similar size project nearby like Mahogany Residence and Sunway D'hill, but better location and freehold, just that developer is not so well known

Surprisingly it is advertised as freehold. I always have the impression the whole piece of the RRIM land was actually a leasehold.

Certain parts are freehold, same like ara damansara, especially when this is sitting on a residential land, unlike other phases of kwasa damansara

MBSA side got freehold and leasehold.
MBPJ side not sure, maybe mostly leasehold (given that KD & Tropicana area are leasehold).

Cheaper and freehold. and got direct MRT

Habislah Mahogany and D'hill

Cheaper means how cheap, net net?

Noted with thanks

Noted with thanks.

after bumi discount & rebate, u can get starting psf around RM523 psf to RM564 psf. If non bumi, just mark-up the psf by 7%, so about RM560 psf to RM600psf.

The bigger the size, psf cheaper

Can be less than 600psf with early bird promo, but don't take my words for it, please check with the developer because they already sold quite many units after soft launch in August. I'm not sure early bird promo still available.

yeah still available. developer ask to sign SPA soon by end of Nov. Dec going for official launch. By then, not sure got early discounts or not

Tujuh as well. Anyway, will give more choices for potential buyers.

Reasonable price. With the surrounding high dense development is it good for investment or ownstay?

More suitable for own stay as mostly large units, for investment, have to hold longer term.

If renting, target market will be those working in KWSP or ppl who take mrt to work in KL?

Tenants can be working around here like SEGI/ HELP, Thompson hospital, Subang Airport or need to use DASH/ NKVE to go office. And dont forget LRT 3 which can be accessed via bandar utama mrt

Do you have the site plan of this site ?

How about the rumah selangorku nearby? Are those allowed to be rented out in future? There is an adjacent land bordering Linari. I wonder what is it going to be.

That one is another condo as well. Location wise, Linari better as it’s near MRT and besides groceries/shops (between Linari and KWSP), will be completed next year.

No idea coz Selangor got different types of mampu milik, some are initiated by developers so don't know what's the terms & conditions. But the affordable project is further away while Linari is literally just a stone throw away from the MRT.

Competition is not limited from the affordable apartment if your plan is to rent out. Nearby projects like D'sara Sentral, Sqwhere, Casa indah 1&2, etc are also alternative to prospect tenants and don't forget there will be more & more condo to be built here. So for investment purpose, you need to do more to get tenant quickly such as adequately furnished and engage more property agents.

Thank you for the site plan. 🙏

Bought a unit here. Let me know if anyone want to share referral fee.

What type u bought?

How’s the take up rate? & How many % sold?

Bought a unit here as well type B.. so far type B upper and middle level mostly taken, same as type A. There are plenty for type C and D. I would say 80% sold for type A,B and 30% for C and D.

how low is the density LOL

2 blocks of 25 storey building, total 480 units and 16 garden unit, for a 8.9acres land.

How much is the referral fee?

Type B. I was attracted to the large dry and wet kitchen. As mentioned most of the type B is mostly taken. Heard they will do the launch during CNY

May I know if you bought Blok A or Blok B?

Bought Block B, you? You know any owner WhatsApp/telegram
group has been created for this project?

Congrats. I booked type B, paid booking fees but haven’t decided.

Want to wait until Laman Waringin by Gadang to be launched soon (heard Q1 2025) (want to compare prices) - terrace house & condo at Kwasa, freehold, near Linari also.

Nevertheless Linari is at a better location (besides MRT and commercial areas/shops). But less privacy due to at the main road and besides thousands of rumah selangorku.

I thought Gandang's project has been called off.

KUALA LUMPUR (April 30): Gadang Holdings Bhd has called off its planned acquisition of a 21.08-acre land in Kwasa Damansara — known as R3-1 — for RM114.78 million from Kwasa Development (3) Sdn Bhd (KD3), to be developed into a residential project.

The termination came after the builder-cum-property developer failed in its appeal to the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) — a unit within the Prime Minister's Department — for a waiver of the Bumiputera equity requirement to facilitate its acquisition of the Kwasa Damansara land, its bourse filing on Monday showed.

Booked a unit too and SPA signed. I can create a WhatsApp group, PM me for joining ☺️

Nope. The called off is the acquisition of land. Now they revert to the original plan where EPF gives the development rights to Gadang to develop the land as per EPF’s timeline.

The Sales Gallery is almost ready. You can drive there.

Had the acquisition of land by Gadang materialised, Gadang can develop the land as per Gadang’s timeline, not EPF’s.

I see. Thanks for the info 👍

U bought for own stay or investment?

Own stay, looking for terrace house size but everything at 1 floor. Initially wanted to buy YTL dedaun rimba but their staff arrogant and don't reply message, then I found this project during site visit to dedaun rimba, love the practical layout of type B😄

This post has been edited by Unicorn27: Jan 5 2025, 02:48 PM

I also had a not too good experience with YTL staff Dedaun Rimba 😅 Some ppl also said the same thing. Anyway congrats on your purchase.

I noticed that as well.

Internal sales staff lanci a bit because sales is good and there is a long waiting list.

Hopefully YTL can improve on this.

Not much but better than nothing.

Mine is block A. Initially I opt for Block B because the available unit is on higher level. But changed to Block A which is a bit lower because I prefer the Block A view.

Initially thought it has been called off / delayed until you mentioned it was not. But I will prefer Linari anyway because of the MRT. Unless if want to opt for the terrace, but it seems that the area will be more atas than Linari.

Near to main road is a plus point for me - easily accessible but the Selangorku project is a bit of concern. I don't mind the one currently under development since it's on the other side, but the one directly adjacent to Linari seems there's not much information available about it at the moment.

This post has been edited by faizfizy39: Jan 6 2025, 11:12 AM

The layout of Dedaun Rimba also is a bit meh for me. Unless die-die want landed.

Not sure if it is comparable but anyone that looking/buying Linari also looking at Triara @ Ara Damansara?

What do you guys think?

The double height ceiling of dedaun rimba looks nice but less practical for maintenance and less usable space as compared to a condo, and the maintenance fee is not cheap but less facilities. Also, dedaun rimba main entrance is not facing the MRT so the walking distance is much longer

Triara's pros
-sime darby is well established developer compared to Impiana Land.
-More facilities eg. 2 badminton courts, Linari has none
-less foreign workers in pj area as vs sg buloh area
-almost fully developed township and closer to PJ city, & subang jaya. Kwasa Damansara is still unknown.

Cons
-much higher price
-small recreation park in ara damansara vs bigger central park in kwasa
-not walking distance to LRT
-extremely jam during 430 to 730. Kwasa Damansara can use DASH
-layout quite normal like any other service apartment. Linari every unit is a corner unit

Linari has badminton court and basketball ball as well

Dedaun Rimba got a side gate near the mini TNB station, closer walking distance to MRT

Is it in the multi-purpose hall or multipurpose court? Before project launching, I've checked with Linari staff and she said no. But I hope you're right!🤞🏻😉

Just slightly shorter distance if your unit near to the gate, i have tried walking to MRT fr the site

There're side by side half-basketball court/futsal and badminton court, but it's outdoor one....

Ya I think that's the only possible place for badminton, wonder why they don't build a bigger hall for badminton court 🤔

Also just bought a unit here. Tower B Unit C as when I went there, unfortunately the only remaining B units were on the first couple floors. Decided to go for C as the layout is similar to B, just a bit smaller.



Just like what the previous reply said regarding this, Triara is a lot more expensive as by Sime Darby and in a hotspot now Ara Damansara. I actually went to Triara show room right before Linari and decided that I much preferred Linari.

Have been actively looking around property around PJ for a couple months now and I'm quite happy with Linari. It's my first home and I'm familiar with Kota Damansara and a bit with Kwasa as I pass by the road every weekday to work from Sri Damansara. Being relatively close to parents was a plus.

Good points

are you able to share more in terms of your observations from the showunits?

workmanship or materials wise? any defects liability extension or promos?

thank you in advance!

Here's the materials list from the brochure.



Unfortunately I'm probably not the best person to ask in terms of workmanship, don't really have any experience in this area.

The show units look really nice but no guarantee that actual units will be the same, there are developers use cheaper materials such as tiles and doors for actual units to cut costs, and i think the workmanship will depend on who's the main contractor. The site already cleared but the signboard not up yet. Anyone knows who's the main contractor?

For promo & freebies better check with Linari staff, they are very friendly 😊

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

Good to know that they have own construction team, quite surprise because their webpage shows very few completed projects

Thank you for the input!

i think it is reasonable considering that they are not pricing this product under luxury development

but the location itself is quite promising if you can stand the construction within the area for the next few years after linari done

Thanks for sharing!

i also interested to know once the signboard is up

been wanting to go circle Mahogany / D'hill / Kwasa as well as check out the lelong units around Square and D'sara

will update here too if i see its up

Confirmed under MBSA?

i also feel the same, i asked such question because d'sara by mahsing had previously encountered issue where their location is sandwiched between 1 or 2 jurisdiction zones of MPPJ MPSA and DBKL if not mistaken

but wow having their own inhouse constructors are another interesting learn for me too

Any info on the developer having their own construction team? Because Serene Mont Kiara was built by other external contractor.
I assume they acquire this land long before as i saw a concept video of Linari dated 10 years ago.

Eg Kerjaya Prospek, Sunway, have internal construction team. That’s why the can price their projects lower. Like Sunway they do outsource construction to 3rd parties.

confirm la. have u even looked on the master development of kwasa damansara, between mbsa & mbpj?

Yes i know those big players have own construction team. Some of them is main contractor turn developer. What i meant is Serene impian/Impiana Land being a boutique developer have own construction? Their Serene mont kiara was outsourced to EH property for construction.

It could be they acquired this land and engage with a contractor

Better ask developer directly to confirm

What size is this show unit?

Top = type D 1168sf
Bottom = type B 1434sf

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

Curious what freebies do u mean?

A/c, kitchen cabinet etc have to check with developer

This part of kwasa is under mbsa, the land near subang airport road junction/ caltax is under pj address

Signboard is up

Bro，do u know where is the show room for laman waringin？wanted to have a look as well

Here, is the location at the site itself.

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!

I'll provide you a response to your items and my personal reasoning on why I am quite adamant on choosing this project vs others that I have been viewing for awhile.

Response
1. I honestly have no idea about this as I'm not that into property development before looking into this as my first home. However, the contractor that has been hired does have quite a lot of projects under their belt after I've checked, so I'm hoping not too many issues.
2. This is the complete opposite for in my point of view. Linari is really close by Kota Damansara which I regularly go to for food personally, and driving distance wise it's close to 1 Utama and Ara Damansara (Compared to like some other locations I was considering at first). Kwasa Damansara is also a township in the making, so we'll surely be seeing more stuff be built nearby.
3. A bit of a grey area here. I have multiple friends who also stay in condos/apartments/flats who either have outright said they are not pet friendly, or just not stating on the matter, and yet they have dogs and cats in their condo. If this is a deal breaker for you, you would have to concentrate on properties that outright claim they are pet friendly which I don't think is many.

My personal reasons
1. Loved the layout of Unit B and C, however unfortunately B was sold out except for the low floors so had to go for Unit C.
2. Like my reasoning in (2) above, to me this is prime location for me to be in. It also doesn't hurt the fact that I work relatively close by right now (ara damansara) and my parents are staying in Sri Damansara, so this is smack in the middle for me. Of course might be a downside in the future when I change jobs but hopefully MRT will be helpful then.
3. I like the design and facilities of the condo itself, including the amount of greenary that will be included in the property land.

1. This is my concern too, the completed projects of the contractors are quite ok tough

2. Even if EPF only build condo & houses here (unlikely), kota damansara, mutiara damansara, bandar utama, ttdi are just few stations away and right opposite of Linari is a retail park.
If you looking for something like the Park at Pavilion Bukit jalil, maybe properties around Kwasa sentral have greater potential

3. Pets are generally allowed the condo unit as long as they don't cause a nuisance or endanger the safety of others. But if want to bring pets to common areas, I think a pet friendly condo is more suitable.

Another concern is Kwasa Damansara surrounded by factories in sg buloh but is separated by a river. Not sure in the future, will the foreign workers find a way to come to kwasa easily and loitering here.

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?

For your point no.2, i think the concern should not be a boring place in the future. I will be worry for privacy instead.
Rear of Linari is surrounded with too many affordable house. Front of Linari is persiaran atmosfera which will be super congested
after being connected with Elmina city in the near future. So i predict it will very busy all around Linari. Not sure it is good or bad.

Just hope and pray hard the land next to Linari is not another affordable house development(According to the master plan)

Good question. I think anyone purchasing linari accepts that there's going to be some level of noise pollution from the surrounding developments for the next 20-ish years. But late night factory maintenance is a different matter. From what I can see it doesn't seem close enough to really be a nuisance if it does happen.

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.

Somehow I think the price they are selling has factored that in given the density on the development and vicinity to mrt station with 2 available line. Btw I'm one of the buyer for type B. For me as long as the development itself has decent maintenance, demographic, enforce security, it will be good enough.

I think Abadi is only doing piling works and the basement coz their website mentions that they are specialise in this. The architect & other contractors seem ok, the only one that I can't find much information is the electrical and mechanical contractor, EP Consult.

Unlike LRT, sound from MRT is negligible.

i think around 6k units. Two plots of land. and 1st phase fully taken up because of convenient location near MRT and cheap. Houses at this area will sell like hot cakes
if its Landed home below 1M or affordable high rise.

There are 6000+ units if not wrong. Those affordable apartments are selling at 250k, I think only middle class can afford. I hope there will be more offices here other than EPF to provide more job opportunities and to attract more white collars to stay here

Yep. Abadi for the foundation work. The others is all consultant and civil engineer. So i guess the main contractor is not appointed yet

Not sure going or not. Maybe go there and ask whether my SPA stamped already or not 😬
