Hey, you all think zest is a good buy ? If rent out will it get a good rent ? If resell good or not ?

Another thing, most of you all buy facing club or kl ? If club i gather is western sun & if kl, will hear the lrt rumbling past (its very loud !).

Thx.

I pass by sg besi highway frequently too. Its not a ramp cos the curve turning down will eat too much into the other side of the road which is quite steep. 2nd is that its dangerous to have a vehicle go up a ramp on the 2nd lane (if upgraded, 3rd lane), imagine the car speeds going up the ramp & having to brake hard at the bend..

I suspect its an opening or fly-over from the other side cos theres a road exactly opposite. For the bomba probably. Yah, u-turn is a higher possibility.

Added on April 17, 2009, 9:57 pmHey, no one comparing the perils of facing kl (a lrt track) or the hot sunset (club) ? Isn't that important ?

Babana tq tq for helpin out.

No lah, i not confused, was talkin abt the (proposed) lrt track mah. The blk at sri maya last time facing the tracks cannot rent out, now dunno lah. Openin the balcony door, can hear the screeching of the lrt passin by. But yah, the reason i'm lookin at zest is because of its great sales. Who wouldn't b impressed.

I suspect the so-called en-bloc sales to koreans was adopted from the berjaya's tactic at savanna, seeing how it stirred up everyone's interest. Just makes everyone doesn't want to lose out. But ever since knowing so many frm tpm bought here, i trust that tech folks must have seen some good here. If so many frm tpm bought here, i'm sure it would b easy to rent out to tpm staff. In fact i used to rent my rooms at bkt jalil to tpm staff too.

Thinking, undecided, indecisive kua..

Abt 50m of the middle median was cleared & gravel poured, looks like there will be a road widening near bomba.

Thats y they have to dismantle the drain & put it undergrd (pipe).

That leaves 2 options -
1. Its a turn off from the bomba for fireengines ? But that would be dangerous.
2. A u-turn ? Its a more than 50% chance.

Anyone dare to stop at roadside & ask those workers ? Hahaha..

Thats y the facebook ac shld b plc.
Imagine the many users there browsing around and finding a new property that might fit their bill.
More interest = more prospects = more members.
For me, i also become interested only after reading the forum here.

Hi everyone, glad to join thezest cult here, i bought a unit after much ding-dong thinking abt it. It had better be worth it !

I've read nearly 1/2 the threads here & my eyes r too tired to go on.. Are most u here investors / owners ?

Hiy pai, this is good news to investors then also good for owners too, more families & better environment..

Yah.. from model, it looks like good finishes, eg balcony balustrade is glass, that ought to look impressive frm the main rd when its up ! 2x2 tiles if i read in earlier threads. Any other nice thing abt this place ah ? I might be tempted to move in too haha.. unless the rentals are irresistable

I sure hope its possible & anybody who says its not will get chopped into meatpaste by me. Hahaa. kiddin.

Do you mean increase 50k from the Blk C price or Blk A price (is this possible) ?

Hohoho... so syok talking about making $. Feels like christmas !

Is there bus service along the road now ? I know got rapidbus frm tpm to lrt to carrefour.

If extend to kinrara, sure will be very convenient for everyone & raise zest's desirability factor even b4 the ltr extension. Or maybe bus shuttle between bkt jalil & puchong ? This would be best, can go to all the giant/jj/tesco/carrefour hypermarkets easy !

If can make $50k, i think the return is still low cos only make 7%/yr or less return on 10% deposit.
On the other hand, if keep & rent for $1,900 - $2,100 (net 8% return after allowing $200 maintenance), then shld be worth it to keep also. Problem is can get such good rental or not. Dunno what other bros think of this ?


Ya lah, i think those bought here all quite well off 1, got 1/2 cars. But still hope can have bus service, then those with old parents can go jln2. Expats working at tpm wil benefit oso, many of them dun have transport, if got bus i think they will prefer to live at zest rather than bkt jalil. Now there is not much to eat at the condos there. Buy things also difficult.

If at zest, they can walk to giant, eat at the shops in front, behind also got shops, inside also have cafetaria. The more i think the more i convinced zest is good for owning & investing also.

Hmm..

I'm still hopeful leh..

Rental
Savanna $2.2k (~1,200 sf)
Arena Green $1.2k (~820 sf)

I realli believe zest's rental can top $1.2k and equal or even top savanna. Ok, which location / environment do you think is better - zest or savanna ? Maybe frm there can get some indication....

My wish list - 7-11 & high-end mamak stall inside the condo. Must have at least 1 24hr convenience shop & 24hr mamak inside the condo. This will sustain a good mix of students/staff/expats frm tpm who work & stay up crazy hours.

The mcD etc located at shops fronting road would be ideal. Then residents can jus walk out for something more expensive. Aramis, the traffic at road quite heavy i think, if got mcd lots ppl sure stop by b4 con't journey. The petronas at tpm got big area in shop like for eatery but not occupied. If i m frm mcd, i will open a shop outside zest instead of petronas. More parking, more residents frm zest/kinrara..

Imagine driving home, fill up petrol from caltex/petronas/shell, tapau food from the shops outside, withdraw some $ from the bank beside, then drive up home... Purrfect !

Hahaa.. wishful thinking....

Medical ctr too ? Wow.. then can take mc easy.

No one likes students hah.. ok mah, those local & middle eastern, xcept for those curly hair lah (but how does the mgt enforce it ? Gonna b tricky). If got students, got chap fan, then cheap food for everybody mah.. Sum more, got educated youngsters, less crime, samseng jalan & crooks not so daring to rob since so many able bodied young adults around 24hrs a day.

Just speculating Anyhow i think young professionals still wil be majority here.

Hey, their brochure kinda basic, don't have photo of mock-up, don't know how good finishes given. We r taking a chance yeah. With so many units already sold, wil they scrimp & do some cost-cutting ah ? No need to impress ppl liao.

Naleh eugene cchew, u have units at savanna & zest too ?

Passed by jus now, its 600m frm giant to zest, sounds like a bit far to walk.. muz buy bicycle liao.

Update yesterday Blk A -
Facing KL view :
If xclude en bloc sold units, left the lower 4 levels got choice (even then also 1/2 sold)
Upper levels corner facing sunway got a few.
More choice if u dun mind column 5 units. (u have to look at the building model carefully to find out why )

Golf view :
Didn't pay attention, but got more loh.

I think when the building framework comes up, only the golf view wil have units left.

Kimhoong, i followed yr directions in earlier post & went to the lowcost flats take a look. My position at 4str level naked eye can c klcc jus dat my cam can't capture it, confirm lower part partially hidden by a condo as u noticed earlier. Surprisingly still quite a lot of greenery this kl view esp of bt gasing.

Zest facing kl view sure can see klcc but also depend on some of the unit's position with regards to blkC, so these units line of sight might b compromised. Someone raised this point earlier (he said working for some telecom co, hope he's stil active here to clarify).

The good thing zest provides a very wide field of vision from kl to sunway, so during new yr's eve can c fireworks both directions !

Aiyer.. too small la.
Why don't they make it clickable for full screen view.
Should make it more prominent ler.

I miss the aerial ballon 360degree view, hope they decide to slot that in as well. Now THAT would be impressive.

Kakaka...
Naleh, i think its epoxy, thats the only thing that can give a seamless smooth finish. So far not seen it widely used, but definitely very impressive, also less maintenance in future cos its tough, chemically inert, non porous, easy to clean, maintains its look for a long time, etc.

It looks like everyone got a wish for zest
- Epoxy floor
- Bamboo plants
- lcd tv & sofa at the lobby (my wish )
Anybody got any more ah ? Maybe we can start a WISH LIST, everyone add their desired things they want to see in zest.. up to developer they wan to respond or not lo ..

The lawyer firm quite frenly & efficient, called me to sign spa already, too bad their bankers called me so late so cannot sign yet. Awaiting rhb & eon letters. Now i'm using uob for another property, asked them for refinancing the property & they imposed lots onerous & unfair clauses eg '..fees to be ascertained in the future..' 'RM1,000 processing fees' Dang Dang kiasu singaporean bank .. Sori pai, venting my frust.
