    February 6th, 2015 at 17:34 | #57

    Smallest 400sf and biggest 800sf. As advertised 400sf cheapest 454k less 10% + 5% + 1.5%. Net from about 380k. Semifurnish. Seem lower psf than 455 studio.

    @joe

    No real demand at all for these units from genuine home occupiers. You can only sell this type of crap to speculators. This is small town Penang, not the Big Apple New York.

    And in the meantime, Ivory (the company who cooked up the whole Penang World City bullsh*t) is planning it’s exit from Penang, while Tropicana is owing creditors too much money.

    God bless Penang World City.

    It’s obviously better value for 400 sqft. Price around 380k, semi furnished, better layout. Much much better than the 450 sqft previously launched.

    February 7th, 2015 at 21:20 | #68

    @Lam
    The 455sft studio unit has a kitchen. So it’s semi furnished as well. Nevertheless, the extra rm40k for a smaller unit of 400sft is certainly not worth it. I am not sure how you see it as better because investment wise it is certainly not logical. Besides, it doesn’t take much to Reno a 400 or 455sft. So the extra money paid for a smaller unit is certainly not worth it.

  69. tomyam
    February 7th, 2015 at 22:28 | #69

    back from the sales office.. seems the 800 sf unit sticker up more ..
    400 /500 sf still lots to choose..
    Price before discount
    400 sf (lowest from 453900 to max 485900)
    550 sf (lowest from 604900 to max 636900)
    800 sf (lowest can’t see as sticker up to max 847000)

    380k for 400k plus semi furnish with kitchen .. I think is ok la.. coz not much people can catch the first block A/B deal.
    Just that this is really for super small family, either single, new married couple. Not for family.

    Every developer will do the same thing.
    This is so called “Kang Tau”.

  83. kutu
    February 8th, 2015 at 22:11 | #83

    Whether “kang Tau”or nor, it depends on timing. But the main purpose of doing so is to get the bank providing the bridging loan for the project to release money to developer. The banker for the project releases money based on the % units sold to manage risk. Without the money, developer might have problem paying contractors and suppliers, unless it is super cash rich, which probably is not the case here.

  84. kok
    February 9th, 2015 at 09:43 | #84

    Seems like the profit of this condo project is still very high since they can give such high discount. Don’t know why most developers still claim that the cost is too high for new projects.

    @goh

    Do you realize that with the RM350k that you pay for this shoebox unit, you can stay at a 5-star hotel in penang 30 days every year for 30 years? And over that 30 years, you can stay at all the different hotels, new hotels at prime locations. Whereas if you buy an apartment for holidays, you’d have to stay in the same apartment over and over again over the 30-year period. Worst still, by the 10th year, your apartment is already almost old. And if you think you can sell it later if you get tired with it, please think again. No one is going to buy an old shoebox apartment from you.

    February 10th, 2015 at 11:18 | #92

    @chun,
    You have valid points. I told my friends the same when my friends bought studios at Light collection few years back but now…

  93. chun
    February 10th, 2015 at 11:28 | #93

    @pwc

    Yes i know, most buyers who bought The Light have big regrets. Apart from the dust caused by highway and the never ending construction around it, it seems to be far away from everywhere. It’s neither near to the heritage area, nor the famous scenic batu feringgi coast line. That probably explains why most units are vacant,even during the holiday periods.

  94. Stella
    February 10th, 2015 at 13:28 | #94

    Wow, for an instance, I was about to cancel my 455sq ft bought at RM310K after long Q/fights in Penang Times Square. Chun, you are good. Really. Compare with 5 star hotel rate, etc etc.

    But, wait a minute. I am also the first owner of D-Piazza Condo. Bought from developer.
    Early price was RM240K for a 1300sq ft. At that time, more idiots like you, Chun with all sort sour grapes comments, every thing is not right, even location at Bayan Baru also they were capable of producing negative comments…….Simply stupid to buy D-Piazza Condo
    And now, if I were to let go my D-Piazza Condo which was rented out from OC until now-I earned RM400K cash profits. Nett.

    I don’t mind they take longer to build, the later, the better.
    If exceeded 3-4 yrs, I will get a big any pow from them. I think Berjaya’s boss borther would run away from this projects.
    Heard both Tropicana & Ivory also don’t focus on PWC …. not a good sign for us.

    @Stella

    Actually it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that 5-star thingy, all you need is common sense and basic maths. But it was very brave of you to admit that it was something really worth noting. However, maybe next time you should not use your sour grapes accusation so early because people normally do that towards the end of an argument when they run out of sensible facts to reason.

    Buying a condo for vacation is like paying for your hotel room stays 30-years in advance.

    I would draw a parallel between this and time-sharing vacation membership, Leisure Holidays. Not sure if you are old enough to have heard of it, but it was “sold” as a good “investment” during the 80s.

    You pay a one big lump sum to purchase the membership that can be resold later at a profit, while enabling you to stay at affiliated hotels all around the world for free when you’re a member.

    It was a popular investment scheme during the late 80s. But today, most of these affiliated properties are so old and run down that you wouldn’t want to stay there even it’s free. Making a profit for selling your membership? Dream on! Oh by the way, Leisure Holidays was a Berjaya product. Hehe.

    With the invention of internet hotel bookings, hotel rates have never been cheaper and making a reservation has never been easier.

    Chun, after 30 years, you can pass the hotel room to your grandchildren or not?

    I believe you are the first group, already there from 5.30am, as i was told by one of your group members. Good for you to grab the limited edition 455sq ft at low price.

    Your D-Piazza condo purchase also a good investment decision which comes once in a life time.

    @Joe

    Original have the same thinking like you as I am even in DIBS scheme. No payment until project ready. But the best should be project on track, not too fast and not too slow. Fast $$ not yet print out all yet, slow we might have other worries like project abandoned if there is any economy crisis. So on track is the best.

  114. Joe

    You still have to serve interest for MRTA and lawyer fees if all included in the loan package. DIBS will not cover that. It will start when first disbursement done by bank to developer. I received a call from bank today.

    is it they will help to clear the interest every month or they will one time off clear the interest when reach certain stage?

    No. I dun see that. I only see this 2 transaction.
    Ivory should pay the item MONTHLY INTEREST. But until now did not see they pay yet. Yesterday I got call Ivory billing dept and they say they are in progress to made payment on it.
    Teoratically since we are in DIBS, we should not pay anything so that we can very clearly see which one is the interest charge.

    Btw, what is RTA stand for?

    MONTHLY INTEREST RMXX.XX (Interest of first month)
    ALLIANCE BANK BERHADTROPICANA IVORY SD RMXXXXX.XX (first 10% disbursement)

    Looking at the progress of the construction, it is running full steam now. If they can sustain the same speed, it should be no problem to complete within the next 3 years.

    As for the future development, especially commercial, it is still no news as of now. At least I heard that they are currently submitting plan to build another sales gallery, within the PWC precinct. To cater for what purpose is still unknown, but as there is already an existing grand sales office in place, this can indicate another development is coming up.

    Ever since Tropicana Ivory sell the piece of seaview land (in front of TBR) to Asia Green, I already lost faith with PWC.

    Where got people sell a better piece of land to other player and let them block all the seaview ?
    Such a brainless decision, and they piss off their earlier buyer who hoping to see seaview.

    @picnic

    I heard recent hot topic is tamarind. they say tamarind 2nd block open for sales and price up 200k compare to block A.

    I just really wish the new purchaser for PWC is really for own stay. Then the value will be there as there will be lots unit OC by 2017.

    Hi, anyone can advise on the MRTA.
    It actually starts from the SNP date or starts from the first disbursement?
    I have just paid for the MRTA recently but SNP signed a year ago but the CIMB bank alliance insurance company- Sunlife started to enforce the MRTA date as per SNP date.
    Is that the normal practice?
    Thank you.

    Its not power station…its called GIS substation..about 3 storey building and you will not see cables or transmission tower. The nuisance is more the highway noise.
    Btw is the 400sf studio now exceeding 1000psf net? Somehow the Ecoterrace has brought up the psf psychological level..

    Thanks CM.
    There was someone told me there will be a very big TNB station there and my concern is about the health which could be caused by the radiation if stay too close to the station and off course this may affect the property price appreciation also I think.

    Regarding the MRTA, I purchased through CIMB bank under self-finance mode.
    The insurance company is called Sunlife Insurance.
    I have just paid the premium in July 2015 but the insurance effective date started from May 2014.

    I do not understand why the insurance company started to cover (a year ago) even without having paid the premium.

    Checked with them, they said yes this is their company policy, owner will get covered based on the letter of offer date even though haven’t paid the premium. If anything happen during this period, owner is actually able to make claim.

    Is this acceptable? Or this is just the excuse? I do not believe that one would be able to claim if anything happen during the period (before paying the insurance premium lor…).

    Anyone has similar experience, would please kindly advise?

    Can anyone confirm if the referral program for Tropicana development owners still on as buying a unit in Block F?

    Also did anyone get any further discount for being a Tropicana Loyalty Card member ie 1.5% for ‘Priority Card’ and 2% for Gold Card etc?

    The sales exec at the latest sales booth at Queensbay Mall on 30July 2015 says no.

    I think the referral programme ended.

    Not sure on further disc to card member as we are yet card member. You can always check with their asst mgr/mgr Lisa to further confirm.
