    I was told 430k.

    I guess you all can check with Ideal at show room for better understandings.

    You may observe from the chart that all units are highlighted in different colors, which indicates different price, ie. units 1-3, 16-18 and those higher floors will be RM460K (yellow sticker). Few months ago, those units RM430K will need to top up RM18K for 1 additonal CP becomes RM448K, and these units were indicated with green sticker. However, this package (with additonal front-back CP) were introduced only in Mar/Apr this yr till present. But now left only few units with green stickers only.

    Pls clarify with Ideal.

    @Santo

    Yes. From the color code, we will know the price. But Ideal never disclose the available units left. What I know beginning of this year is all are sold out fir Tower A. But from time to time, they will release units that they claim previous buyer can’t obtain bank loan. What wonder me is how come so long for bank to reject loan? Please share with me if any of you know how long will it takes to know if our loan is approve or reject? Thanks.

    Yup, agreed with you. I felt also weird that the units are released gradually…Somemore, good units gradually releasing now…

    My banker is super efficient, so my loan took only 3 working days to approve. Typical approval will take about 1-2 weeks, and could be longer subject to “complexity” of the docs needed.

    As you may aware from the booking form, the max duration given for each purchaser to apply loan is 30 days. So, we may foresee the release of units each month. However, based on Ideal, they will not release immediately, they will accumulate and release once at the time.

    In fact, Block B still remain >20 units unsold. Maybe this is reason why the agents still advertise. I felt that Block B is not worth, all units (yellow stickers) remained with RM460K with only 2 CP, and it’s located in between Block A and C…

    Kamolan Kia, pls don’t simply listen to people who claim to be experts but actually which hole to poke also not sure. Tower B unit 1,2,3 are aligned to units 4,5,6 in Tower A. Low floor at least got swimming pool view, high floor anything also cannot see, view fully blocked by Tower A, swimming pool somemore too far. You tell me, pls use your common sense.

  19. Santo
    October 19th, 2016 at 16:34 | #19

    Based on agent, the 3 blocks will not aligned 90 degree, it will be tilted a bit, about 45 degree. So, engineers ard measured that Block B units 1 & 2 will likely to have gurney view, while units 17-18 will have tanjung tokong seaview. But I guess must be high enough…

    You may observe from the colors they highlighted, if not mistaken yellow (those corner units). These units claimed to be having good view.

    Thanks chauzhibigh. This so called expert said potential can have partial seaview. That might be one of the reasons why Ideal tagged them the highest price. It is up to individual whether to believe or not.

    October 20th, 2016 at 04:40 | #22

    @Wendy
    You may obtain lawyer contact from Ideal or even obtain from your banker, and call them directly to follow up on snp collection, even for any property matters whenever the bank/developer letters received. I have been liasing with the lawyer all this while. As there’re large number of units in this project, according to lawyer, there’re a few lawyer firms handling the execution.

    As far as I know, no developer willing to convert the leasehold to freehold status once they start selling the project.

    Long time ago, IJM promise to convert for The Spring condo… but nothing happen after that.

    Leasehold to freehold, very unlikely, summore this is not luxury condo IDEAL wont spend the time n money to convert.

    Btw u can pray hard they so kind to extend the leasehold back to 99 yrs once OC, currently i think left 85 yrs.

    Summerton condo developer (GSD) did extend the lease period.

    Should be 850sq ft. Should not include the yard at the kitchen area as it is an air-con yard. It is not a usable yard. There is no door to the yard.

    The National Land Code (NLC(A) 2016) introduces the procedure for an application to extend leasehold periods. Under the new section 90A of the NLC, a landowner is allowed to make an application to the state authority for the term to be extended at any time before the expiry.

    November 7th, 2016 at 17:24 | #51

    @Khot

    That’s why it has been proposed in addition to current law that a sum be set aside every month from maintenance fees (currently monthly payment only consist of maintenance + sinking), so it will be maintenance fee + sinking fund + lease renewal fee. As we see more and more leasehold properties moving forward, introducing more measures will make overall market more stable and transparent. Of course, it might take another 5-10 years for the law to be official, but at least discussions are underway by the authorities.

    Expat stay there bcos straights Quay rental is dead cheap for the price of the unit cost. Imagined you pay million of ringgit buying the properties from E&O but renting for a peanut cost. How do you think Santorini with 2,000++ unit will be competing with quay side, tamarind, jazz and Marinox for rental??? For own stay and with freehold title Tri pinnacle is definitely better. also from the developer background I think aspen will be much better than ideal. Note: Tri pinnacle also offer better value and packages compare with other affordable condo @Rofl

    Dear cheap or not it is still higher than mt erskine. The peak for example is rented out as low as rm1.2k per month. If the peak is asking that price, tripinnacle can probably ask for rm1k and rented out to multiple foreign workers. You got to know your market and target group. Location is everything. Cemetery and non cemetery area.

    A project with 2k (density), how long you going to wait for the lift if you stay at 45-50 floors. Imagine so many new projects around that area (Jazz Residence, The Tamarind, few blocks of low-medium / low cost built by E&O), existing project and landed property there), the traffic flow there going to be “amazing” and we all know low cost flat have limited car park (you come The Peak area, you will see many vehicles park outside of their blocks). 2k people how to ensure each and every owner pay their maintenance fee on time (More people = more problem)? Good luck.

    According to waterfish, Santorini alone will cause 12km of traffic queue, add on Jazz, Tamarind, Quayside, Brezza, that’s going to be another 15km. 12km + 15km = 27km, so that’s from Wendy’s burger all the way to Teluk Bahang!! Extraordinary! I love your style too!!

    Ok. i know what you mean. In fact, “walkability” plays a very big roll in neighbourhoods in terms of property value as our city progresses. Santorini will have almost a perfect score when it comes to “walk score”. 2 major banks & Pos Malaysia have already reserved the shoplots on ground floor for rental. Almost all amenities will be within walking distance.

    Of course, our council also has to play its role if they want to encourage more walking & less traffic by building properly shaded walk paths for pedestrains. Seri Tanjung Pinang is not a big place, if public amenities are built properly connecting the whole STP, many residents will prefer to walk. So it’s all up to the council, whether they want to put more man power to give parking fines, or build a better community living. Hohoho.

    Which banks? If they are Maybank or foreign bank, then it means something.

    As I said before, it is the developer’s marketing strategy. They wanted you to wait and wait. To show you how difficult to get a unit. Then once it is available, you will appreciate it. Be patient. But if the unit is not what you want for example facing evening sun, do not make quick decision to buy it. You will regret later. Make decision based on the unit you want, not whatever available.

    There’re many units released lately (some with nice seaview) as heard from my agent and publications by various agents in fb. You may try to grab it.

    By the way, just fyi, different agents may have different units (some with nice view etc) released as they’ll have the closest info with customers whether the loan is likely approved or rejected.

    Hence, you may try to approach different agents in order to get the unit you want, this is my personal experience. Some agents seem very helpful in providing you the first hand news about any potential units available, some not keen. So, just choose those fit your needs.

    They may keep for their own desired customers first, and will only be released after 1-2 weeks time if not taken up…depends on how their relationship with Ideal.

    In short, the chart on occupancy may not be 100% true. Some units may be reopend for sale after sometime due to loan rejected etc. So, if you’re really keen, you may liase with few agents, and I guess they will try to help you to find your desired units if any.

    Professional agents will not demand undertable fees from you.

    Yes, it will be built on the piece of land next to tamarind. Santorini Block C will be affected, although not much as the car park is already 9 storey high, and condos only start from 10th floor upwards. Whereas Block A & B will be blocked by C, and also quite a distance away.

    Tamarind is not so fortunate, as it’s Tower B sits right beside the substation, and the condo units start from 2nd floor upwards.

    developer will K you no time hahaha

    That’s why people with this attitude let the developer go off the hook. Recently, I read that Tanjung Court residents protested that their apartment lease will be about 70 years old. So why not us? It is customary that a developer will renew leasehold period to 99 years right? How much does it cost? Doesn’t ideal make money from this development too? If enough buyers make noise perhaps to chief minister or jardeep singh, I believe positive outcome will result especially now it is near election. NO?

  129. slitslip
    March 20th, 2017 at 13:17 | #129

    @Flow

    Tanjung Court’s lease is actually a private lease by Farlim, so they will definitely loose their homes once the lease expires, bcos a private entity has no obligation to renew/extend the lease (unlike the state gov) . Whereas Santorini,Brezza,Marinox are sitting on state lease land, so no issue at all.

    In fact, if you want to fight for 99 years renewal now, you might as well fight for conversion to freehold. That’s what the new state admin said they would do after they took office in 2008. But as usual lah I think, talk only lah.

    Renewal of leases is allowed under the law. You just have to pay the premium for the extension for another 99 years. The application can be made to the Land Administrator. There is no need to appeal to the Chief Minister.

    I just went over to check out the progress. Also dropped by the showroom. Understand from the agent, they will close the showroom in a few weeks time. She told me only left 10+ units. Almost all at Tower B and majority units are unit #3A and #7 which are facing the lift lobby.

    If you are really looking for strategic location, any units are good. The reason is in this neighbourhood, you simply can’t find any unit at this price point ($400k-ish); majority is selling at double the price.

    @Wen

    Personally I prefer Tower A facing Gurney but all units are sold out.

    Not sure about the car park and facilities. If not wrong, each unit has its own car park, not sharing car park. And facilities should be shared among 3 Towers.

  164. jz
    April 30th, 2018 at 20:47 | #165

    I was told “gov-allocated-unit” buyers are mostly concentrated in Block C, whereas “open-public-units” are mostly concentraed in Block A & B. So resident profile will be better at A&B. Also, if you’re in Block C, watch out for the mega power station & low cost flats just right in front. High floors and units facing pool should be ok.

  165. jz
    April 30th, 2018 at 20:49 | #166

    Another thing, I think lifts per household will be lower in Block C, so not sure if there will be a bottleneck.

  166. Ralph
    April 30th, 2018 at 22:05 | #167

    @jz
    some correction to your statement. The podium block (carpark & facility) for block c h is not connected to block a & b podium, block a & b is sharing the same podium block with carpark & facility.

    Block C is the 1st launch block which priority for candidates under list of state affordable.
    Block A was the nex launch which open for public units (most of the good unit was taken at 1st day launch even b4 ballot?) so most open public is allocated at block a.
    Block B the last launch basically is half gov.allocated unit and half open public.

    Resident profile wise i don’t see any different on it. The selling price for Government Unit vs Public Unit basically different within 100k not much and it is concentrate on FIRST HOME BUYER which really need to own a dream home. Although they call it “affordable” which i don’t really think 400k is affordable, many candidate loan even get rejected.

    Block C has higher resident unit compare with block a or b, but it comes with additional 2 lift.

    @Wen

    Yes, you are right, block C has it’s own facilities. You have one set of bigger facilities shared by Block A&B, and another smaller set of facilities in Block C.

    Yes. Tower C has its own small facilities but it can be used by Tower A and B residents too.

    I have look at the site ….location, quite nice…

    I think Block A and B can’t access to Block C. The car park etc…

    @Wen

    Do you mean Tower C has different car sticker and access card in future and isolated from Tower A & B? If this is the case, the maintenance fee may be higher for Tower C because nowadays the maintenance fee is includes common area.

    Confirm wit agent, Tower C has it’s own facilities and car park. (Smaller)

    It’s not shared by tower A, B.

    I got very high floor car park, though.
    All towers almost sold out.

    July 11th, 2018 at 17:48 | #184

    why day dream leh? its fair that GST money saved should be passed on to buyers right? That is the aim of the new government righyt?

    May I know if Block C is ready first can we get the key first? Or we need to wait for Block A and B complete first? Hopefully can get the key before end of 2019.

    Why is Blok B development so slow? Is C ald finish? A seems shorter a bit compared to C and B is d shortest. I think they are trying to make all three towers equally tall first.

    Pity on Block C owner as VP for all blocks will be obtained at the same time. However, Block C is progressing fastest, which means Block C owners overall have to fork out more interest from banking loan….
