Hi, anyone here has any idea what is the lowest level one can still have a clear lake view?

Hi davkong, UFO-ET, thanks for the feedback

High floor residents in SW can see both the lakes?

And I would pay the same psf price (RM600) for a lower floor 968/990sf Trigon instead. But then again, it's individual preferences

Ya, but only for West view. No more 968/990sf facing East I believe.

Agreed. Personally, Trigon's LDP view is more interesting than its forest view. The only concern is the noise and dust level.

Added on May 29, 2012, 8:33 pmThe price gap is actually much smaller if you consider Trigon's rebate, free legal fee & stamp duty, and the limited time freebies (free air-cond, stove & hood, plaster celing, etc), and I assumed the Solace units in comparison also have free kitchen cabinet, walk-in wardrobe, concealed air-cond piping like Trigon. And don't forget Trigon 968/990sf units come with 2+1 rooms.

But since lower floor Trigon units are no longer available, I agree the price gap is rather big now. Mid floor units cost around RM600K even after you minus the rebate and freebies.

But hypothetically, I would choose a low floor Trigon 968/990sf over a high floor Solace 845sf - sacrificing view for a sense of luxury. Maybe it's just me. LOL

I wonder how long they will stay there.

RM6K for each level up is too expensive IMO.

LOL. Trust me. I don't like Trigon's price too

I think it all depends on how Trigon performs relatively in terms of subsales and rental yield upon CF, 3 years from now. We can't be sure.

Anyway, I see low density as one of its key selling points among other things. As a result, they can have 6+1 lift serving only 10 units per floor. Truly a luxury indeed.

I didn't get to visit many luxury service apartment/condo but anyone aware of one in PJ with more lift or lower density? And what is the selling price?

Added on May 30, 2012, 2:24 pmI don't know why but Skypod does not really attract me that much. Personally, I think SW is more exciting and has a better potential probably due to the mall, cineplex, etc.

Maybe I'm just being biased in favor of SPS against IOI. LOL

Last I heard from an agent, his banker's valuation was at about RM480psf

I read a bit about Nadayu 28. Ya, it's 6 units per floor in each tower. Not sure bout the lift though.

But it's a high density condo with all the units sharing the common facilities, just like Skypod. SW is certainly better as far as that is concerned.

Oh ya. You are probably right. I was merely thinking from own stay perspective. Haha

Which part of the workmanship is not good? Could it be an isolated case?

Can't see the lake at 11th floor or so, right?

(1) It's generally true for newly completed properties due to a lack of reference. However, the valuation will improve upon several successful transactions of the apartment units there at higher prices.

(2) It may not be the best time for property investment, but if you intend to buy one for own stay, then I think it's generally advisable to invest sooner than later.

Added on June 5, 2012, 8:50 pm131 units or 72.3% sold as of this week. That's 10% in a month's time. Not too bad I guess. Haha

There's a 5% rebate for larger units. But I'm not sure if that includes the 1313sf. Otherwise it would be only 2% rebate.

I was at the sales office just now. There are still about 10 units of 968sf/990sf available.

Nope. If I'm not mistaken, those smaller units with forest view were already all taken 2 months ago.

Attached is the latest sales chart.

Ya. But the sales of these larger units is almost stagnant at this moment. Anyway, IMO, type A has the best view.

Ya. I'm really curious about the noise level. It's good to make this place feel lively with some noise and music but I hope it's not intolerable.
