@hanif444,
R3 by itself would have 240 households. Assuming R1 & R2 has a similar configuration; that would mean the project as a whole will have a total of 720 households - over how many acres of land is this project going to be constructed on?

RM320 psf doesn't come across to me as cheap esp in Puchong [not too sure of actual site location] - for the price & size, I wouldn't consider this 'value for $' but hey that's just MY opinion

I'm quite sure the Service Apartments (R1-3) are by itself - wouldn't it be a big security threat to have all components under 'the same roof'?

Can't comment on its price since it's been set but can definitely foresee the traffic havoc *gulp*

@hanif444,
Safety door has nothing to do with breach of security; if U can get through the door, so would whoever that's working there or shopping there isn't it?

@pleasently,
Eh.. there is no need to create a username just to swear here

@airline,
Yes that is true ... so, are U saying RM320 p/sq feet isn't costly @ Puchong?

@cspok,
Am quite sure those units with additional car park lots are priced higher. 3 car parks are pretty good.

@smallP,
Yes most salespeople will tell U that and most of the time Phase 1 is usually the 'best' buy - because Phase 1 needs to be successful in order for developer to launch and sell the next few phases.

As to what the salesperson tells u re cost of raw material and building cost it is somewhat true but there's no guarantee; esp in such uncertain times. If the market was booming perhaps a high possibility of that happening but today, ur guess is as good as mine.

RM320 is still in my opinion v costly - I would rather be spending that $ on a landed property. Assuming we look at a semi-d (40 x 80) that would be RM1.024m - it's considered low for some areas but that's sufficient for most areas.

For me, I will definitely give this a miss for I truly believe that cash is king. Also, I know for a fact I'm unable to make anymore financial commitments otherwise I be having cash flow problems.

@cspok,
oOh well.. in that case the 3 car park units are more worth it *grins* Are U allowed to purchase a 2nd and 3rd car park?! Also, what's the additional premium per floor?

@cspok,
And how many bedroom units are Type C and B? And what is the total price we're looking at here? And for which floor is that?

@hanif444,
Forest view TODAY, tomorrow becomes another high rise So what would d price be fore Type A on 18th Floor? RM320 x 1396 + RM18k?

@cspok,
Thanks for the info; ain't a prospective buyer so I should leave the discussion until a comment is needed from an 'outsider'. Btw, did U get a unit? U seem to have a lot of details about it

@cspok,
AhHhHHh........ no wonder! And that from my calculations should have cost U ~RM360k?

Well, if U like it and U know U can afford the monthly instalments then go for it There is NO right or wrong. And like I said earlier, Phase 1 will always have some form of advantages [Yes there are cons too!] when it comes to quality and all because if Phase 1 is not done properly, Phase 2 and 3 will not sell!

Oh.. Congratulations!

@cspok,
Am quite sure it will take longer than that to complete the entire project since there are like 3 phases just on the residential areas (Block R1-R3) *smiles*

Since U've oredi purchased it, U just need to make sure it doesn't become an abandoned project but SP Setia is reputable enough [plus if they do allow any of their projects to be abandoned, they'll have trouble with their big township] so no worries there.

Just rent it out when it's ready or sell it off for a profit; as long as U have the holding power, U don't need to liquidate it's fine Then again, Y would U want to lock in ur $ here when U have intentions of migration?

@cspok,
Yup.. as long as U've the holding power U have nothing to worry about

@smallP,
Yeah that's the main problem; a lot of us don't haf the kinda $ to afford the landed property onli because of it's size *grins* I hear Mutiara Bkt Jalil's latest terrace homes are about RM660k!!!!!!!

@smallP,
Ah well........ makes no difference to me what the prices are cause for now, I've NO bullet to invest in the property market. Well, if I do come across a RM1m house selling for RM100k I probably would be able to find ways to raise that RM100k!! *grins*

@smallP,
I don't foresee it to happen so I'm not going to even think about it. Also, if it does happen I be worried too unless I know the owner *grins*

@cspok,
I don't disturb them, they don't disturb and reveal themselves can lah

@hanif444,
Yes but that's not what we were discussing about

Plus how would U know the loan would be approved? In bad times, banks are more cautious.

@hanif444,
muAHahAHahHAhahA Hence there's nothing to talk about *grins* Let's not get anymore OT - back to Setia Walk.

@cspok,
So when do U sign S&P?

@hanif444,
It could be true *shrugs* Y don't U wait and see *grins* But prices cannot keep going up - remember what goes up must ultimately come down ... kEKkekEKke as it is, I think the prices are oredi v high!

She could also just be making some attempts to get U to BUY!!!!!!! And she's going to keep calling until U tell her Ur not interested Btw tadak incentive for early purchasers?

@cspok,
So U put in a deposit/earnest $? In that case, 2-3 months down the line if U decide NOT to go ahead with the purchase, can U get ur deposit back?!
