    How can it reduce everyone’s time? You mean if you are buying as an investment you are prolonging the sellers time? That’s why education background is important. If you were brought up with the type that memorize everything like a robot, the way you converse is also like a prepared statement.

    very simple lah.
    1) this is freehold and non business title – so you save on utility
    2) this is nearer to housing area in sunway and not so packed with dense apartments like elite
    3) this is nearer to spice garden and the hotel

    Maybe you should not use google translate when typing. Why out of a sudden you mention seaview? First time heard the term of biz title as well. Bravo to SJKC education. No wonder all the higher management in MNC are from SK background( majority is Indian/Malay with a few Chinese from SK ). Hardly see senior management from SJKC. Perhaps education play a key role, dont you think?

    Senior management is still employee to the MNC and they don’t own the company.

    Hope Arena Management reconsider their car park design. Shouldn’t have front and back car park and this is very unfair for the people whom get it. Appreciated Arena Management able to benchmark one of project in Mount Eskine where they successful re-design and now non-longer have front and back car park.

    Front and Back car park = 1 car park. This is very inconvenience to all the owner.

    I sincerely hope Arena Management will do something to the owner whom get front and back car park. Please help

    the car park system is not fairly done. It should have been done based on your buying order. those who buy first should get a chance to select (not ballot), followed by the next. definitely unfair especially for those who lined up overnight and bought the unit first, but didn’t get a chance to select.

    That piece of land is so small and expected developer to squeeze in every inch to $$$.. what do you expect from a totally new developer and don’t see there is 2nd project upcoming.. at such market condition, probably an hit and run case. More worry about the build quality whether up to satisfaction, rather than the car park.

If balloting every year and you still so bad luck to have chosen back-to-back, then you will start to use your genius brain and come out with a “fairer system” like, those who get back-to-back this round should automatically get side-by-side next round.

    I heard from Golden Triangle buyers that actually can get help from KPKT if S&P stated 2 car parks but only been given a front-back carpark. Front-back carpark is only consider as one car park per KPKT.. You can enquire KPKT and try to load a complaint and negotiate with GVC, may be at least to get some compensation. Hope it help.

    @pintu

    Go search and analyze first before making any comments. MPPP has already defined how the assessment is calculated.

    The assessment depends on the “Annual Value of Property” x “Annual Percentage Rate”.

    Since Arena Commercial and Residential blocks sit on the same land just adjacent to each other, hence the “Annual Value of Property” of both blocks should be fairly the same. If there is a huge difference, then this is largely contentious as it does not make sense at all.

    “Annual Percentage Rate” Commercial = 10.30%
    “Annual Percentage Rate” Strata (Residential) = 7.50%

    So, if the assessment is fairly calculated, the main difference should be just 10.30% – 7.50% = 2.80%.

    time has already told, commercial title will pay much more. residential will be much lesser. the basis for charging comercial more is because they supposedly can do business there, thus pay more taxes. simple as that. you will see huge price difference later commeercial vs residential units though same community.

    Commercial title units will share the same facilities and same access as your residential units. How come your residential title units can sell much higher price (other than lower water & electric bill)? The may be selling price difference a bit, but definitely commercial units can fetch better rental since can rent without restriction/ do business/ become SOHO as well.

    because of these reasons of supply and demand. you will get less demand for commercial units because :
    1) there is not so many people want to open office in an aparment
    2) making it a homestay is not attractive too due to its location and lack of facilities
    3) mean 90% of residential tenant will stay there, not commercial people
    4) residential tenant however don’t want to stay there because people do business there and it’s not safe having people coming in and out your apartment (strangers, customers, etc)
    5) cukai pintu is high, 2K + looking at 1-sky example
    6) electric bill 30% higher

    summary : commercial unit price will not be attractive, less demand

    January 16th, 2014 at 22:13 | #117

    Both commercial and residential will have their own market due to the price different by unit size, 1250 vs 1450. The smaller one is more affordable, while the bigger one is good for larger family. No point to compare until cows come home. Cheers

    Agreed on point 1, 5 & 6, but not others. For 2 & 3, I think it is good location for homestay as next to PISA, the new bus interchange, & near to Pantai Hospital and supermarkets. For 4, it is not much difference whether you stay in the commercial block or residential block, as both share the same access & door way, and share the same common facilities. So may be a bit premium for residential title due to the cukai pintu & electrical bill, but not huge price gap.

    Location is good. I think psft will be around RM550 for 1450 sqft (free hold + residence title + 2 car parks). OC will be around September 2015. The condo in penang is over supply, developers finding it hard to sell new projects, the price will be stagnant or scalding down for condo.

    All speculators who bought property in Bayan Baru/Sg Ara/relau area really need to worry, be very very worry. There are just way too many newly completed, and going to be completed projects in the market. Supply is definitely far beyond demand for the subsale, it will be tough to sell off the units, not to mention with good price. There is no market for rent neither, foreigners will not choose this area, and local would rather buy their own rather than paying the rental.

    Those speculators who do not have solid financial background and holding power, be ready to get themselves burnt.

    @Cheng
    Cheng, if the developer is SP Setia, Eco-World, Mahsing, based on their product quality, maybe we can consider RM550 for this project. But remember the developer is Golden Virtue Capital, you may go to check your unit first since now already VP. Some more for the bus interchange is a disadvantage, it will be the foreign workers gathering place like Bukit Jambul, create more security problem. Remember now the property market is down trend and everywhere have affordable condo below 500k. If u are lucky, maybe u can sell max to RM500 sqft, else get ready to pay for huge loan interest.

    Eco World is over priced even they are branded and give many good package, most of the booking buyer from KL and just simply put sticker, it should be a fake buyer. They are using the strategic same like Ideal Property, first few days most of units sold out with sticker. When you personally ask with sales person, slowly drill down and you will noticed more and more units are still available even the units are with sticker.

    If you are monitor closely, the property market start down trend few months ago. The approval rate for the housing loan in Penang now only 30%, means 10 persons apply only 3 persons can get approve for the loan, really bad. In fact, if the property is sell at 600k++, your salary need to be at least RM10,000 above, so that can pay loan monthly installment at least RM3000, maintenance fee, quit rent, etc. Nowadays, not many buyer affordable to buy for own stay, investor also won’t buy as rental for this area not able to cover the loan installment. Some more, there are many properties build this area, so a lot of options to choose, let’s the price to compete.

    Passed by Arena, I was so impressed by the rooftop side wall combination lighting. The blue and day light color really make the Arena Residence lively and stunning. Thump up for Golden Virtue Capital. The management is so creative and willing to spend more than RM100K to make this condo spectacular and fascinating. Due to this condo structure design, it has 3 different levels, the view at Sunway Tunas will be eye catching. I hope all new projects developers are more creative to add value to customers by making their condo outstanding. There are condos with rooftop lighting but I have yet to see rooftop side wall lighting. This Arena Residency will outshine the existing condos in Bayan Baru and Bayan Lepas. Well done Golden Virtue Capital

    @Alexander

    Alexander, why not you consider Elite or Fiera Vista project condo? These 2 project unit size are around 1450 sqft and the facilities better than Arena. The recent actual sold out price for Elite 1465sqft only 640k. If you manage buy Arena 1450sqft with 720k, it is not worth. You pay extra 80k for same area condo. The different between Elite and Arena only the residential and commercial title. The max different amount you need to pay for the assessment fee is within 1k if compare the residential and commercial title.
    If you put your extra 80k in bank Fixed deposit, you can get 3,2k interest and use the 1k to pay the assessment fee for commercial title. Mean that you still have extra earn 2.2k per year if you buy Elite project.

    Golden Triangle 2 is selling at RM500 psf and Elite sub sales only RM437 psf? Any design or layout problem for this unit? Living hall is very long and narrow?

    I think it is the Feeling that make you buy. When I like something very much, my $ will end up in somebody pockets.

    Go get any contact from housing agent and ask them what is the final deal price. Or the easy way you can check from Mudah website even it is markup price. If you still don’t believe, check with your friend that working in bank loan department. For the past few years, the property market is good because that time property price range around 500k. Unfortunately, the buyer now can affordable for condo property above 600k are very less. Foreigner also only allow to buy for condo property above 1 million. If the buyer can afford to buy higher price, why not go for double terrace house in sungai ara which around 850k.

    Overall Elite is better that Arena especially the shop lot. You can compare the shop lot design and layout between Arena and Elite. Nowadays the market have the price, but no buyer. That is why the price can’t go up further. Most of the buyers that willing buy for own stay now all is looking for the government affordable project. No buyer support for the condo property price range between 500k ~ 1million.

    Arena doesn’t have shop lots underneath the car parks. It is the GOOD FEELING Lah that so many people interested in Arena residency.

    There are pros and cons. I don’t think it is wise to compare the condos you like with others.
