dun think so lah..if u ignore those unknown n unbranded developers, prices of those service apts in pj r still streets ahead.

i have searched for an almost similar sized unit in pj8 (840 sf, 1+1 rooms, l/h, completed) just for price comparison purpose. called the agent n she said its on 31st floor already sold last month at rm560 psf c/w optional kitchen cabinets worth rm15k. developer's price was under rm400 psf.
http://thinkproperty.com.my/realestate/Buy...ngor/37132.html

those folks in tropicana tropics r already targeting rm500 psf upon completion. developer's price between rm300 to rm330 psf.

both pj8 n tropics were considered overpriced when they were launched some 3 yrs ago.

i was even stunned when the sa in zest said that all 4 studio units in block c priced at rm300 psf were earlier snapped up.

for sw, a 845 sf 1+1 room in block c on higher floors is rm350 psf ONLY.

hence, my guess is sw still has lots of room to appreciate upon completion but has to bank heavily on sps past track record n in making the commercial centre a happening place.

true..launching price could be lower

type d units 845 sf have all been snapped up. only 1 type c 1007 sf on 8th fl left. the couple who bought the 14th fl type c actually returned the next day to book another bigger type b unit.

291,800 8th fl
328,800 23rd fl
or
345 psf to 390 psf

vio open for sales on 27 March. expect min rm32xk for type d.

understand that early birds get to enjoy rm10k discount across the board unlike 2.5% previously.

also the rm10k discount is mutually exclusive if u r an angpow voucher holder. u can't utilise the rm10k angpow voucher to gain further discount to purchase vio.

that means the vouchers r only useful to the holders if he/she r not among the early birds.

not sure if the vouchers r transferrable.

word is out..

this time around they r encouraging ppl to buy the slow moving bigger units namely type a & b increasing prices by a "modest" 10% whereas for type d 845 sf, the price increase is quite steep.

let's compare like to like by taking the cheapest units of brio n vio as an example.

brio lowest 8th floor type d 845sf: launching price rm291,800 or rm345 psf
vio lowest 8th floor type d 845 sf: estimated launching price rm350,800 (b4 early bird discount) or rm415 psf

increase = 20.3% (w/o early bird discount)
or 16.8% (with early bird discount rm10k)

brio highest 23rd floor type d 845sf: launching price rm328,800 or rm389 psf
vio highest 23rd floor type d 845sf: estimated launching price rm387,800 or rm459 psf

cmi?

some ppl may not like the idea of seggregating their car park from the residential block. westside is 1 such tower. it is also said to be located besides 2 large water tanks. from the artiste impression, the walking distance from the residential tower to the carpark is separated by the swimming pool. the min >rm500 psf does not include interest under construction that is not absorbed by the developer. moreover, many still consider that dpc is just an extension of kepong but with a different address.

consider this:

westside (interest under construction not absorbed by developer)
min price rm500 psf (i think is much higher than this)
max price rm??? psf

sw currently (interest under construction absorbed by deveoper)
min price rm380 psf (for type a units 1350 sf but already sold out)
max price rm465 psf (for type d units 845 sf also already sold out tho lowest floor units at rm420 psf still available)

u r comparing a condo with a serviced apt. not an appropriate comparison.

the 'big' difference is in the progress stages of construction. 1 is awaiting for the 1st sticker to be pinned on the chart or 0% sold (tho reportedly attracting 2,100 registrants), the other is about to be vp'ed while another is already 20% wip with 20 unsold units (mostly large layout). to be fair to sw, 1 needs to compare their launching prices ie sw solace rm320 psf vs westside 1 rm580. that's right its rm580 n not rm500 as claimed by u. its inappropriate to compare 1 that's about to start selling against the other 1 that's already almost finished selling.

Meanwhile, on June 5, the developer will hold a priority launch for the 2,100 registrants for its latest condominium The Westside One. The sole 40-storey block of 338 condominium units, described by the developer as “branded residences”, will be sized from 969 sq ft to 2,066 sq ft, with indicative pricing of RM580 psf. The project will come up on a 4.23-acre freehold plot.
extract from the edge http://www.theedgeproperty.com/news-a-views/3419.html

if 1 is consdering say, a sw loft unit 1,850 sf, he/she can still have it at current price of under rm400 psf n moreover, it's sitting on the top 24th to 26th floor. just imagine what's the psf price of an almost similar size unit (2066 sf) on similar floor would be in the case of westside 1 when the lowest floor is already rm580. what about westside 2 prices when it/s launched later? another 10% up or rm640 psf? and another 10% more for units on the highest 40th floor at rm700 psf?

[the 'big' difference between service apts and condo is the availability of such facilities/services akin to that of a hotel not usually found in condos as laundry, housekeeping, convenient stores, f&b outlets, business centre, concierge and even a pms (although not fidelio) that 1 would expect from a full-fledged service apt, for instance ascot, maple. while sw is not expected to provide all the services mentioned since its customised for homeowners occupancy n long term tenants. the difference is still clear.

the more appropriate head-to-head comparison should be those that r about to be launched that offer similar range of layouts n b/u such as skypod and surian 2.

as mentioned earlier, i have nothing against westside in terms of location, layouts or even its premium pricing but just some issues with the carpark and the 2 water tanks.

rm300 psf for tropics? possible?

trigon sales update.
there has been a sudden surge in the take-up rate recently, especially those involving sub-1700 sf units. much to the delight of trigon purchasers, there's only 1 more unit [K-26-07, 1373 sf] under 1700 sf available that faces east.
total units sold todate = 113 or 62.4%, up from a pathetic rate of under 30% just couple of months ago.
the bulk of the unsold or slow moving units r those >1700 sf.
take a look,


for the benefit of those who keep on asking 'WHAT'S THE PRICE $PSF', pluck the figures below n do the maths

pakai hanfon je..for RAW pix u need to visit their sales office.

why say so?

'ready buyer(s)' even when they turn up, mostly come to survey only. seems like telling owners that there r ready buyers is part of some of the agents/negotiators' unwritten SOP.

looks like sub-sale buyers r not willing to offer > rm500 psf for units with b/u > 1k sf..atm. how about the prospect for those 845 sf?

though almost similar in size, some say sw type D 845 sf (1+1 bedroom + 1 bathroom + 1 carpark) is not comparable to skypod type C 881 sf as the latter got extra bathroom + carpark + 1 proper room. of the 3 extras mentioned, at the most sw got only a study room that is not considered as a full fledged room. however, those who prefer a larger living/dining area instead of cramping an extra bathroom + bedroom would choose sw. sw 845 sf should be compared to skypod type D 743 sf (1 bedroom + 1 bathroom + balcony) where the highest available floor is a whopping >rm650 psf. skypod 881 sf should be compared to sw type C 1007 sf.

another minor setback of sw is that all their units r E/W orientatation whereas skypod ones r N/S.
