how about those in QB area leh? Gold Coast, D'residence, BayStar, the semi D there (forgot called what name).

I just looked at platino...smallest unit is type J 1000 square feet and the cheapest price is RM 718k based on the press release...so that means a 1000 sq ft unit for rm 718k?

Yeah..platino is at e-gate.

the landed house in balik pulau...come together wif the orchard and durian tree rite .

SnP legal fees may be free from dev. side...but from what i heard if got problem might be hard for u to fight because the lawyer will defnitely side to the dev's side. can anyone give more advice on this?

yah can use own lawyer, but have to pay more $$$ ma....

from http://apartment-penang.blogspot.com/2007/...ium-penang.html
doesn't seem its getting good feedback...

then better grab asap. now with the conversion of leasehold -> free hold and increasing material cost...the price will definitely go up (u'll be paying for a freehold property instead of leasehold).

goolie: if ur going to buy a greenlane heights property, u'll be looking more at its location rather than facilities. Which block are u looking at in particular?
Greenlane is already rather packed, and its location is also pretty good (that's why here so much jam ><). i'm staying in greenlane as well, and i find that being in the middle of the island (easy to get to pulau tikus, gurney, bayan lepas, air hitam) is a good thing. it has McD, places to eat, schools and petrol stations nearby. greenlane heights condo are selling for rm200k and above though if im not mistaken...for RM110k u might be looking at low level condos or flats...

air itam is pretty densed. if u look at the surroudings, it had already reach "saturation level" a bit. maybe that explains why the price have kind of stablized.

Greenlane - Its near schools, petrol stations, McD, and also the main road that connects south to north of the island (well before the expressway was available). i think prices in this area will continue to go up.

sg ara - near FIZ. there's a lot of factory workers who are staying in sg ara.

if u really want to buy condo/high rise, check out http://apartment-penang.blogspot.com/

but if ur looking for landed investment...u might want to consider balik pulau .

goolie: for the price, it seems like its leasehold. otherwise, its really very cheap for freehold.

ooops i thought its landed....that's why i thought it as leasehold...on offence....

harrychoo: the price seems quite reasonable. morning sun is better than evening sun. Can encourage u to wake up early also . Most important is u feel comfortable with the apartment. whether is it worth the money or not, evaluate it if u like the apartment very much .

well irregardless whether ur buying second hand or first hand, u'll renovate anyway .

dont worry about the small living hall...if u arrange ur furniture properly im sure it can be managed .

harrychoo: haha, if u really like the house, what's holding u back? if u got the money, i'll say go for it.

Dont worry about something bad la, if it did, u'll feel uncomfortable the moment u step into the house .

so when is housewarming?? .

I wouldnt think baystar is really that expensive (not cheap either). if you look at putra marine / gold coast, it'll cost u 700k ++ for the smallest unit (2k sq ft i think), putra place will cost u 450k ++ and those are lease hold. platino cost u 710k++ for the smallest unit (1k sq ft). Even bayswater is selling for 400k++ for a 1.4k sq ft unit.

yeah if ur working in FIZ, u can even walk/cycle to work. u can walk to GSC to watch movies . no need to park in the bumpy open car park anymore.

not sure if D'piazza is really stalling, but i did notice the progress is getting slower and slower....

as dingdangdong mentioned, we are forming and looking for other queensbay residents to form a more "localized" community. if you are staying there irregardless whether u own or renting, please do join us there .

Try to aim for properties on reclaim land on lands which already have been reclaimed for more than 10 years... Reclaimed land need some time to settle down and be compacted.

I think whether the land is reclaimed is not really the most important thing, having a strong foundation for the building is most important.

near queensbay so far there are only..

Baystar,Baygarden,Putra Place, Putra Marine,Gold Coast, Villa Emas, D'Residence. Bay Villa will be built later on in front of Baystar.

The bumi units for Baystar has been released, but from a recent inquiry from CP, the price increased about 10-20%. So you're looking at 600k ++ minimum.

Head over to our Queensbay forum at http://queensbay.invisionplus.net for more information

I'll like to say Baystar show unit is now available for viewing. 31st August will be the last day. Its actually an actual renovated bought owned unit.

Freehold and good for those who's working in Bayan Lepas factory area ma . Probably good potential to rent to expats also.
