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.
Response1. 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 reasons1. 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.
