    We’re going to end up like the city of Ordos in inner China with a forest of empty luxury condos. Located too far from Jusco to take a stroll there in the evenings. Located relatively near the low cost Apartment Permata and high subsale Condo Mutiara. Waste of money. Bionic Development? The name say’s it all. Suspect.

    Even if it’s not that far from Jusco, should avoid walking by all means. Your LV (since it’s a luxury condo right?) will get snatched in no time….:)

    Why suddenly so many condo coming up in mainland area…. The developer is making easy money by selling condo with RM300psf…… u guys better think twice lor before buy…. mainland people more interested with landed property…. some more the proposed area is near to Alagapa’s mill

  15. condomana
    April 3rd, 2013 at 10:03 | #15

    Hi KC,

    It’s useless to warn people to be careful when generally things look rosy. The same thing happened during the early 90s before 1997 asian crisis. Whatever you sell, people will buy. Whatever concept you sell, people will find a reason to accept it…..:)…Those empty apartments and bungalow lots at bukit merah and all those golf courses in the mainland are just not enough to remind them of how quickly things can turn very sour when the hard times come.

    Plus, you actually have a new generation of investors buying properties right now, who do not have the experience. Those who learnt their lesson 15 years back could already be wise enough to truly understand the meaning of Location, Location,Location…..:)…Happy Investing!!

    The developer did offer a very attractive package to the buyer and a lot of unit have taken up. For unit at level no.7 to 12th, you only need to pay RM 5k until Vacant possession, the developer will absorb the 10% down payment as well, consider as early bird rebate discount. They have road show at queensbay this few days. All unit pricing at 300+k sold off, left unit with starting price 400K onwards. You can go there to have a look. Hope this info will help you.

    i booked one unit at queensbay mall. Only pay 5k, that’s all for the next 3 years. 3 years later, i believe property price will be different, at up trend. just 1% price increase i also earn near 100% return if i sell. worth to invest. :)
    property price can be 50% also no joke.

    1) May I know the rebate is 10% or the 10% minus RM5,000?
    2) So, is it confirmed that all units priced RM300k+ all sold off, just left with RM400K+?
    3) Type of title ? Residential or Commercial?

    @Als

    1. the rebate is 10% minus 5k. meant instead of pay 10%, just pay 5k.
    2. not sure. sometimes developer play treat. invest on your own judgement. What i know is :type A is 400k++ with 2 carpark. type B and C smaller size should be 300k++ with 1 carpark. type B and C after pay 5k, still need to pay 3%. mean only 7% rebate minus 5k.
    3. Residential, free hold.

  31. chai
    September 3rd, 2013 at 20:57 | #31

    @lalazai
    RM459k for intermediate unit (22′ x 48′), instead buy condo for RM400k at prominence, i suggest just add extra RM50k to buy landed property. RM550k is inter-corner unit (built up 29′ x 48′) or corner unit about RM560k (22′ x 48′, land size is 2420sf)

    @edwin
    every project launch got positive & negative comment, most important the negative feedback that voice out by buyers could lead developer to change & improve, OMax always listen to feedback from buyers, however, sometimes it cannnot satisfy everyone.

    @Mok
    no more 459k, price ady increase intermediate unit 550k, corner unit above 700k, launch so long d but still gt 20+unit available and price ady increase 100k, look like mainland ppl prefer condo than landed property may be they boring stay landed house d, only island ppl those never stay landed house will prefer landed property ==

  40. Ken Pang
    September 7th, 2013 at 07:56 | #40

    @lalazai
    increase 100k? i bought intermediate unit when launching (in Feb 2012) only RM409k. Omax seldom adverstise their project, if u say ppl prefer condo than landed u r wrong, either investor or who want staying, always prefer landed property (especially gated & guarded with facilities) more than condo in mainland becoz appreciate value faster than condo. Another good eg are Tropicale Residence(95% sold out) & Hillpark (99% sapu habis), both gated & guarded landed property with facilities.

    September 8th, 2013 at 09:32 | #42

    Initial payment? No worry la..Many developers provide ZEC package, free s&p la, loan and legal blah blah blah, sumore rebate in deposit, ohh yahh DIBS still applicable..

    This location seems definitely one of the best.Since it is located at BM outskirts ,it is can be near to Butterwoth,Seberang Jaya,Perai,Permatang Pauh , Bandar Perda with government offices, Autocity Juru , Penang Bridge if you compare to those BM area such Alma,Berapit,Sentosa area or Bukit Minyak.

    Actually Bandar Perda there is a very good location but too bad it is srewed up by poor developer Aseania.

    If I am not mistaken,the Jalan Baru there going to build a Hypermarket not sure Mydin or Tesco Extra.Anyone can confirm this?

  44. chai
    September 8th, 2013 at 20:52 | #44

    @als
    if you buy new property for investment purposes. take noted that landed property is 2 years ahead price. condo is 3 years ahead price. So compare the price now, condo price a bit expensive is normal.

  45. chai

    another input for investor, buying property for rent, condo reno will be cheaper and can get higher rent rate.

    September 9th, 2013 at 00:18 | #48

    @Kelvin

    Oh I see is Mydin,actually I also booked a Type B unit 1273 sqft (Facing North Permatang Pauh and McD Perda) .Actually I plan to book Type C but as that time all type C unit already booked up.So no choice end up I need choose type B as type A and D is out of budget,hehe….

    Anyway if you refer my comment above,one thing I like is the location la ,at least go anywhere also not that far,summore it is freehold residential title,because as I know la BM city and BM Makhotha is commercial title (Correct me if I am wrong) which not suitable those who buy condo to long term stay purpose as all the monthly bill accessment (electricity and etc……) will be higher.

    However,I think the maintenance fees is abit high la around RM0.17-RM0.20 psf which almost same as some area in penang island .But I think is because it consists of so many facilities,definitely need higher cost to maintain.But anyone can confirm the Management will be handle by GE Tan?Because I know GE Tan manage quite a number of condos especially those Gurney area condos.

    Good to know that is manage by G.E TAN. Is ok to pay a little bit extra , at least they can maintain the condo well.

    Anyone start survey for home loan d? Any good loan package to recommend and did the developer give a timeline that we need to feedback to them on the loan approval?

    Thanks. I went to the fair yesterday. Now is almost 75% sold off. The sales indeed very good. I bought type C units and only 1 car park available. I was told by the sales person the additional car park will be around RM 20K but they haven’t finalized yet.

    Not sure when they can firm on this as I intend to buy additional car park.

    Flexi Loan is better than so called “semi flexi” loan.

  112. lee
    September 28th, 2013 at 22:32 | #112

    @edwin
    What I heard from banker, the difference between semi flexi loan and flexi loan is as below:

    i) Flexi Loan will charge you admin charges, RM 10 per month, and you can withdraw the money that you place earlier anytime without incur any charges.

    ii) Semi Flexi Loan will not charge you admin charges, however when you withdraw the money that you place earlier, you will incur a service which around RM 50 per withdraw.

    Both type of loan facility got pros and cons, you Correct me if I have explained wrongly

  113. Kelvin
    September 28th, 2013 at 23:41 | #113

    That right.

    Actually my loan approved d, HSBC offer fully flexi loan but they provide maximum loan tenure 32 years only. First 3 years is under DIBS.

    On the other hand, May bank also pre-approved d, but is semi flexi package, per withdrawal will charge you RM 25.

    Usually for fully flexi package, it is more suitable for those who need to have a lot of transaction, they will combine the current account with the your loan account. It will come with Cheque book and ATM card.

    It depend on what you need.

    If let say the developer take 3 years to complete the project, i just continue to pay the installment for the remaining 32 years. What HSBC offer is during DIBS period, is not consider the loan tenure. Anyone can share on this, I am a bit confuse?

    HSBC is right. Loan tenure has nothing to do with DIBS years. 32 years loan tenure means after bank fully release (disbursement) all the money to developer (that is after contruction completed in 2016), then you start your monthly installment for 32 years maximum. During construction period for first 3 years (start from 1st drawdown), you have to pay monthly interest to bank BUT with DIBS, it means developer is paying the bank for your behalf. So, your actual financial commitment is 35 years but due to DIBS, first 3 years, you relax lah …
    So, if you are 33 yrs old and that bank allow max 65 years old, then your max loan tenure is 32 years.
    However, if you are 25 years old, per BNM, max loan tenure is 35 years, so you can take only 35 years loan (up to age 60), not 40 years loan tenure (though < 65 age).

    RM0.20/sf is too expensive. If you buy the unit 1500 sf, you have pay to RM300 per month. This is consider very high in mainland.

    @Kevin but it is worth with the facilities that is own by the condo, you can enjoy all the facilities and enjoy the lifestyle which provide by the developer

    The price of rm0.20 per square feet is very common on the mainland condo, there are also a lot of condo with the same maintenance as prominence but do not have much facilities as prominence.
