The Rise @ Emerald, Rawang

Not sure if this is launched but the details are up at the Guocoland website already  but not on iProperty.

Anyway, looking through it, I quite like the 2-storey bungalow design called Sage whereby they have made the length of the lot (66 feet!) into the frontage. The house's footage is about 2,000 sq ft only at 66 x 33 , not sure of the entire lot but there is a curving driveway into the house which is very posh!

Love it .. prices for the project is from 1.5MM to 3.9MM.

Purely for own stay and enjoyment, I reckon. Not for investment or rental income for sure!

Oh I'm sure the value will increase over time but not like a fast flip for quick profits. Those days are gone and while I believe they will come back when the next big wave comes, I don't think that is going to happen for the next couple of years.

Serini Melawati - new launch

Image
A new condo launch in Melawati by Sime Darby, I didn't know about it but just so happened to drive by the showroom as it was being constructed; then my mum told me that the launch event was on Saturday the 24th. Didn't have time to go on the 1st day but managed to make it today, the 26th. First impression is that the development seems pretty decent.  An overview from the brochure: Here is the location within Melawati: hehe my scanner truncated it somewhat, the dark green area next to the planned 30 storey apartment is going to be the new Melawati Ma ll (a Capital Mall project). And here are the build-up specifications: Other main information points not in the images above are: Freehold Price per square foot from RM600 to about RM750 for the larger units Maintenance cost is 30 sen per square foot Looks like about 70%-80% booked up by the time I got there around midday today - after just 1 full day + 1 morning of sales. Construction ...

Picasso Residence, Jalan Jelatek

A new development open for registration just appeared on Jln Jelatek. It looks interesting and the location is good but there are some risky aspects to consider. Details like floor plans and pricing are not available although it is said to be around RM750 psf which is considered "low" in relation to M-Suites which is about 300m away and going for RM1,200+ psf - of course there are other factors in play with regard to M-Suites. Anyway, the pros and cons of Picasso according to currently available information: Pro: Location - just off Jln Ampang, it is close to KLCC (about 3km). It has access to the Ampang Elevated Highway (the entrance to the highway is like only 30m from Picasso) and the DUKE. The Jelatek LRT station is a stones throw away. You can drive straight into the KLCC car park within 8 minutes if there is no traffic (and if you use the Smart Tag! LOL) from this property. Relative low density at 452 units - half the size of the recently launched condos aro...

Viewing properties: 3 Residen, Melawati

In my seemingly never ending quest to purchase another property, I thought I might as well document my thoughts here on what I've seen so far.. sort of like a reminder / diary for myself. Age IS catching up after all! OK, so went to have a look at the Type A unit in 3 Residen which is 1,389 sq ft with an asking price of RM700,000. I've been to the launch of this development a number of years back and have seen the show unit. Now, finally having a look at the completed one. The positive: The location in Melawati is not bad, in that it is next to the hills so there is some greenery that is unlikely to be torn down The large foyer is a unique feature and does set the unit back away from the common area, so there is some sense of additional private space before you enter the unit proper - although one could also say that it is a waste of space. Depends. The movable panels for your office / private entertainment area that can be closed off is a clever touch The triangula...
