    about 130 units only?? can maintain or not? got swimming pool somemore, must need to pay RM300++ per month for maintenance fee. better go buy Central Way, G&G with no club house + swimming pool, go Lean concept, less wastage, price also reasonable.

    If loan 90% which around 500k and pay 40 years, monthly installment is about 2.15k, which is quite burden for most working residence. Plus the monthly maintenance, really need business man or have strong financial power ppl just can afford.

    Balik pulau cheaper because of it location not strategic as of now, lot of malay’s kampung there if you drive thru the road.
    BM areas especially near Song Ban Kheng road can considered as a golden area now due to its strategic and convenient location such as having lots of residences area(mostly chinese residences), near secondary/primary schools(Jit Sin, Keow Kuang and Pei Teik), Sri Rambai’s pasar, goverment offices, MPSP stadium with swimming pool, shop lots, tuisyen center, banks and so on. The most important is this location having lots of routes to reach Penang bridge :-)

    You can see from the wikimap its location – http://wikimapia.org/#lat=5.3540555&lon=100.4501224&z=16&l=0&m=b&search=BM%20Distinct%20Land

    i think nowadays houses is the most laku one in malaysia not matter what project. Thus developer mark-up suka sukalah. Then all small investor pun ikut ikutlah. At the end, only developer and banker and government untung earning the margin, interest and stamp duty.

    Just some tought to share. Do not caught up so much on the build up vs. price. Study the layout and the total build up that really utilized by buyer. If you think 3 storey (some come with abundant of balconies :) ) can be really appreciated by you and family, then go for it… most ppl will go for only 2 storey as they really only need that. There is no point paying 550K for 3.7K build up but end up uses less than 2/3 of the space available.

  26. JC
    October 16th, 2011 at 09:36 | #26

    @Primeroist
    ya,agree. but problem is nowadays hardly can found new 2 storey terrace and mostly developer develop is 3 storey terrace or 2 storey semi-d which around 450k and above.

  27. K9
    October 16th, 2011 at 10:59 | #27

    Agree with JC. Now new development in good location almost 3 storey instead of 2. I noticed one new development going to launch next year by Suneka Sdn. Bhd besides Jalan Tembikai, now developer is in clearing land stages, according to Suneka’s sales person, they plan to 3 storey semi-d and also 3 storey bangalow with GnG concept too(total 59unit and may equip with lif ), their estimated price will be around 1.2m – 1.5m. If you compare the price, i think orange villa far far cheaper than nearby GnG housing development.

    @Primeroist,
    You’re right too on whether buyer will utililzing the build up space is important to consider. But for orange villa, i believe the resident have no much choice and need to utilize the space that they have, this is due to 1st and 2nd floor only have 2 rooms each(the developer wanted to make the rooms see bigger i think, that is why 2 rooms in each floors). Assuming the size of the family is 4(marriage couple with 2kids ), you will need around 5 rooms at least – 1 for you & your wife, 1 for your son, 1 for your daughter, 1 for study + library room, 1 for your store room.

    Besides, resident need to dry their clothes at roof top to fulfill the GnG concept and rules. Overall the GnG concept will looks very nice and clean if no one dry their clothes at the window/car porch/garden/outside the house’s road :-) ). If you choose GnG concept to stay, all rules imposed there almost the same. The rules is there to ensure the surrounding of GnG looks nice, secure and comfortable. This is the big differences that i can see on GnG vs non-GnG concept.

    Sorry, typo 😉 . the Suneka’s new development that i mentioned aboved is not at Jalan tembikai, the correct one should be at nearby Taman Gemilang Permai, adjacent to Jalan Tembikai and Jalan Betik.

    @JC
    No argument there JC. Developer seems to setting what type to build and we buyer have limited choices. Developer will try their best to maximize their profit from any land available in their land bank. There are still a few projects offer 2 storey terrace (like Rivere Garden @ 400K?) but usually all sold out even before soft launch. So,…what to do? I surely have no clue.

    @K9
    Most 2 storey come with 4 bed rooms and 1 store room (usually below staircase). So, I think for a small family (Couple with 2 children) surely happy with 2 storey.

    Nowadays, G&G become most sought after even the price 20% more expansive. I personally do think G&G must come with class ( I mean a little bit expansive) to make it successful. Just as comparison, a lot of apartment in island badly maintained due to low participation rate from owner. But look at a high or luxury condos…. hmmm well maintained.

  30. K9
    October 16th, 2011 at 12:29 | #30

    @Primeroist,

    Ya, agreed on the term “Class” and 2 storey better for small family if have. But nowaday, it’s very hard to find a new development with 2 storey at a “good location”, unless buyers willing to sought for 2nd hand old houses.

    Talking on class, it is very hard to define the “class” sometimes :-) . Some ppl think staying with rich ppl and inside the expensive house( house price > millions) is a “class”, but some may think of as long as all residents in a taman/GnG having good neighbourhood sprits, then that consider “class” too :-) . i think the term “class” will be depend on how the person thinking.

    i think landed GnG will be a better stay and easy manage compare to GnG apartment/condo That’s why the price of landed GnG in island mostly started with > millions and GnG apartment/condo’s price less than that 😉 . One main points to drive the price is landed GnG will be less units compare to condo/apartment which normally having lot units(some may up to 400-700units)

    Surely hope more residents having your mentality quality will own and stay in landed G&G and rest assure I will be one of them. :)

    October 16th, 2011 at 18:06 | #33

    @Primeroist
    Surely developer will maximize the profit with the same size of land, so the only choice will built the house bigger and taller. so afterwards we could hardly find 2st anymore. however bigger and taller property which is high price is unafforadble for most working class nowadays. so the market demand for low cost such is 2st is higher but supply is lower,for 3 storrey and semi-d which is 450k and above the demand is low but supply is high…

    @kf
    legal fees for snp is included, but the loan part not sure.
    Both SNP and Loan’s Stamp duties is not included in current offer.

    As per my understanding, it should be no installment free till project completion.
    I think Boon Siew Group is the only company who could provide such offer?

    October 17th, 2011 at 11:22 | #40

    Selling point of Orang Villa are:
    1. Open concept GnG, means no personal gate installment.
    Similar like US town house concept
    (well, it’s not preferable to those who prefer traditional personal gate.)

    2. Underground cabling and sewage

    3. Easy access to Highway.

    4. Gardening will be organized by management.

    5. Strict control of exterior structure. No custom paint job nor renovation allowed.
    (Unless community agreed.)

    hybr1d3d :
    what are the weak points for this project?
    1. I heard from freinds that the area surrounding is flood area
    2. a bit expensive
    3. will the kampung house beside this location turn into as what happened in Kampung Buah Pala in Penang last year?
    4. Many uncertainties at the moment as this is the first project for the developer and the house quality and workmanship remain unknown.

  42. H1N1
    October 17th, 2011 at 13:08 | #42

    @divinity,

    i went to the site to survey the surrounding last week. This is what i found and to share here:

    1. The current land is high. Understand from developer is that they will upgrade the land same level as pejabat tanah and mahkamah.
    2. There is a chinese kampung nearby, according to residents there, the site there is not a flooding areas cause nearby pejabat tanah land is higher. You can go to the site and talk to the residents there and double confirm on this again if you feel concern on this issue :-)
    3. I believe phase 1 land clearing almost done, so kampung buah pala case will not be happened in this project i think. The workers are in the process cutting the cocunut trees as there’re many coconut trees in the site.
    4. There is a surau inside the pejabat tanah, acoording to the residents there, the pray(azan) only happened 2 times per day, there is at around 1.30PM and 4.30PM. No early morning pray and evening pray due to pejabat tanah will close their main gate before and after office hour. They’re not open the surau for public use before/after office hour.

    Just to share 😉

    October 18th, 2011 at 00:01 | #43

    @divinity
    I think H1N1 has answered most of your concern.
    Yes, it is expensive, but about 550K~600K for 3 and a half (The roof top garden) sounds like a deal to me. (for 5 to 6 family member?)

    Although it is too early to judge the facility provided, if the facility really as promising as it shows, I think it worth it. (The sales person told me all plans have been submitted officially, I haven’t confirm about the approval)

    maintenance fee is said to be about 180 to 200++/mth
    but i doubt so, it might be higher due to inflation.
    but as long as it is well maintained should be ok

    Tah Wah is still a fresh developer, but i were told that Dato’ Hong is trying to use this project improve whatever Palm Villa failed to deliver.

    Who knows, maybe Dato’ Hong quit Tambun Indah because Tambun Indah failed to develop the residential area he wanted to (cut cost cut cost)

    @Miracle,
    You’re kidding me too. People that working inside pejabat tanah, mahkamah and MPSP should be not agreed with you on this matter i think.. :-)

    @PenangGuy,
    Song Ban Kheng road is higher and would not impacted if flood. But some of the Sri rambai road and also Jalan tembikai will be flooded when heavy rain due to it land is lower than its nearby roads/taman.

    I think everywhere including some roads in island will be flooded too when heavy rain come. The important matter that we should consider is whether the taman that we plan to buy will be flooded or not….Not the outside of the road 😉

    @Miracle
    I’m not sure you’re basing on what facts to say that orange villa’s site is a flooding area. if you have the actual facts to share with buyers(or potential buyes) at here, then that’s good to them i think. If not, i will assume you’re just simply tembak here..hehe..

    Fyi, i did talk to some of the residents staying in chinese kampung nearby(behind MPSP), one mamak that working in the vege farm for almost 10years there (vege farms behind pejabat tanah’s sepak takraw field) and also one makcik working at pejabat tanah’s food stalls near its car park. This is what i get from them:

    1. Chinese resident in chinese kampung said no flooding in their kampung long time already. They stayed there almost 20+ years now, only faced one flood last 10 years ago, according to auntie there, that time almost all Penang(may be most of the states in malaysia too) get flooded, the water is around 2-3inchi height, now they’re a bit worry after they know that orange villa will be developed there cause of developer sure will upgrade the land same height with pejabat tanah/mahkamah. If this is true, then their kampung will be became lower land, and rain water might be flow to their end in future if the drainages not big enough or well maintain to cope when heavy rain. Hope that developer will focus on the issues that resident there might face in future. i think their complaint make sense !!

    2. One mamak that working in a vege farms there saying that the land(orange villa’s site) behind the pejabat tanah is higher than the land nearby such as chinese kampung and also MPSP. He never see flooding at the site before. He said “Tak pernah namapak banjir di tempat ini, kalau ade banjir pun, air akan mengalir ke bawah sana kerana sini punya tanah tinggi…” ..” when he said sana, he pointed chinese kampung there …

    3. Malay auntie that run the food stall there saying no flood happen in pejabat tanah before. She also mentioned the land behind it is higher too.. :-)

    @PenangHunter,
    As we all know, location, accessibility and conveniently are the most important factors to determine whether the price will appreciate in future or not. This project fulfill those 3 factors based on my observation :-) .

    Personally i think for GnG project, better buy for own stay than investment due to you’ll need to pay the monthly maintainance fees when you’re waiting for potential buyer to buy it. If for own stay then no problem at all, you can enjoys all the facility provided there(security, swimming pool, club house, sauna, jacuzzi, gyms etc..) when you’re back from your tired work. In other words, you’re getting benefit even though you need to pay it on monthly basis 😉

    @hybr1d3d,
    Ya..That stamp duty is a goverment stamp duty for title transfer. If not mistaken, title transfer from strata title to the owner name(buyer in this case). But for GnG, normally title transfer will be happened only within 2-5years after OC obtained.

    Nice concept !! The pool, lanscaping and club house looks charming. If well maintain, a good place to stay. Unfortunately no traditional personal gate install to protect privacy.

    ok sorry bukit kecil, this round my mistake.
    It is not the Tmn Betek Indah.
    I check Google. The fire side located out side the Orange Villa.
    If you draw a line from Keow Kuang School, it represent Orange fencing, the fire side it out side. So, you still can buy it.

    October 23rd, 2011 at 19:46 | #86

    Penang Guy, Have you book any unit?
    From the location that I saw in the link that I given in my previous comment, it seems to be like inside the Orange Villa. Not see the point that it can be outside the area as beside is just a Road.
    Anyone know how is the sales now?
    Originaly I am thinking of booking 1 unit but now decided to drop the plan….not worth of paying so much but end up have to worry of flooding and the feng shui due to fire incidents….

  87. PenangGuy
    October 23rd, 2011 at 20:30 | #87

    Yes, i juz book one inter unit. I have done 120% of home work before buy. Think is ok.

    @miracle/bukit kecil boy,
    I checked the given news and also the map inside wikimap – http://wikimapia.org/#lat=5.3550996&lon=100.4523164&z=19&l=0&m=b . The wikimap should be an old images captured last 2-3 years ago.

    I tried to match the fire incident site(the link given by miracle) with the current tah wah’s site layout inside their brochure. From the wikimap, I think your mentioned incident site is some old houses just behind MPSP building and part of its car park, there’re no houses found behind/besides pejabat tanah and mahkamah(pls correct if i wrong), the incident site looks like to me not falling inside current orange villa’s site layout plan. This is due to the current site layout is just behind/beside pejabat tanah and to mahkamah, may be stretched out a bit to MPSP’s car park areas.

    Also I believe all the old houses there including those houses get fired already demolished and it just left the empty land shine by the the hot sun for some times. All souls if have should be release from the house plus its land and went to heaven long time already.

  89. K9
    October 23rd, 2011 at 20:51 | #89

    For flooding issues, according to developer, they will upgrading the land same height with pejabat tanah, mahkamah and MPSP, there will be at least 8 feet above sea level. If you checked nearby new development by airmas – Harmoni garden, their land around 7-8ft above sea level too, so as taman betik indah. Think should be OK.

    From the discussion, I cld see some ppl are in denial stage. if u worry so much abt flood , the bad feng sui . Then jst forget abt buying this project. Some ppl like to ask ppl to comment but then keep on saying tht area is ok… tht area is flooding area few years bck as I always passby it. If u thk the area wont b flood ,then jst go for it.it is like gamble.chance is there

    @Casey,
    This is what the purpose setting up this blog – To share what ppl know/ideas so that it can give potential buyers that not familar with the development(developer quality/location/house design/fengsui etc.) to know more/better before making any deals.

    This kind of discussion is good to have :-) ..But buy or not buy of course will be on buyer’s hand. We just sharing and commenting on what we know !!!!

    i m staying at taman sri rambai for about 20years. in the past years when the worst flood happened, most of the area nearby taman sri rambai also flood. i remembered the village behind the chinese temple there also flood if not mistaken. u all can find out more. the flood will happen at taman sri rambai if the pump is not working. hopefully it works well, then nearby area will safe.

    Felt funny when u said “that area always flooded as u always passby it”, but from the google map, that site back of land office mostly covered by trees and hutan, dunno why u always passby the site covered by hutan? what r u doing in there? .. haha..

    October 23rd, 2011 at 21:58 | #95

    @Peggy,

    10years ago looks very long time to me :-). Anyway good to check before making deals. That’s good move!!

    If orange villa really flooded in future, i foresee all the taman nearby there, pejabat tanah, mahkamah, Harmoni garden, taman betik indah, keow kuang school and MPSP should be get impacted too 😉 . Nearby chinese kampung will be most impacted because of their land is low compared to other parties. In short, that’s mean most of the BM areas will be in the water !! :-).

  96. Peggy
    October 23rd, 2011 at 22:14 | #96

    I agreed in the past or even now that area is lower than the surrounding. It may be flooded or swampy area before. It will now depend on the developer to filling up the land.

  97. PenangGuy
    October 23rd, 2011 at 23:48 | #97

    entire land from Kepala Batas to Bw to Bukit Tengah, Bukit Minyak all are very low land. So any one want to let go pool view unit, can contact me.

  98. PenangGuy
    October 24th, 2011 at 00:02 | #98

    btw .. look at the map, SBK road to the north is higher land, south is lower land. water natural flow from north to south (high to low). But SBK road is build to be higher. It will block water to flow smoothly to the south. Only have two small bridge allow water to flow thru. For map, u could see that is a very large Water retention area/pond, allow water to build up during rain. It have a lot of buffer below it overflow. Positively, State Government will upgrade the road and rebuild this 2 bridge, then water will be able to flow thru more freely, help to reduce water build up at the stadium area. Further more, Orange Villa will have 8 ft high build up. I think Orange Villa is OK. But Tmn Sri Rambai which located to the south of SBK Road, very difficulty to get rid of flood as the land height is almost like the swamp land to the south of SBK road.
    Selling point of the Orange Villa is, very organize new development area, nice house and nice building, nice shop house and nice government office. It is very Prime Area.
    We hope the developer can really make it tip top quality, demotrate high value of this project. I juz bought a unit near pool side. Plan to stay with my kids and old peoples. I have done 150% home work before paste the order.

    To me, it can when up as this is teh first of its kind in BM/BW area.

    Provided market is still good and no very serious crisis.
    Song Ban Kheng Road area is really a good and modern development area.

    Housing price especially landed G&G sure will up as currently not seeing any stringent rules imposing by goverment in budget 2012, only seeing another 5% on exit tax when selling new property within the first 2 years. That 5% hard to control the speculators. Land, material and labour price continuing hike every years. Developer facing challenges to build low and medium cost property, their earning will be less if they built low and medium cost property especially at golden location. Not surprising if you see more high-end house in future. So if orange villa really located in a strategic location, then go for it. You won’t regret as mostly house buyer aimed for location as thier first priority. Location is relate to accessibility and how convenient the location to the buyer.

    If orange villa is not fall under golden location in BM, then forget about this project, search for others better locations then. If look at the % of total unit sold from the prelaunch day untill today which is 70% sold, i guess orange villa is fall under strategic location :-) .

    October 25th, 2011 at 11:26 | #109

    @Hot Place,
    SBK can be considered as one of the golden area in BM.

    @Apple,
    I think the width of the road in orange villa will be around that size, that is why developer make it as one way road only. Now most of the road in landed GnG in good location one applied that size of width. Developer fully utilizing the land to build more units so that they can get good return.

  110. AC Milan
    October 25th, 2011 at 14:39 | #110

    Actually i am not BM people also. I just comment base on my personal observation at that area. New building along SBK Road, nice shop. May be we should ask local BM people. How much it will go for this type of Orange Villa GnG house, say in 3 years time?

  111. Apple
    October 25th, 2011 at 15:39 | #111

    My concern for the width of the road is that if most of the houses have an average of 3 cars then the road will be congested. assuming if one of the car is parked outside the house then it will leave half of the road accessible. what if the oppisite house has 3 cars as well, then it will be very tight.

  112. k9
    October 25th, 2011 at 18:21 | #112

    @Apple,
    Your worried make sense! I believe other GnG projects at its nearby such as Gemilang Permai Indah, Harmoni Residensi will face same issue too. Living inside a GnG need tolerence, harmoni and good neighbourhood spirit. I believe every resident in GnG concept wanted to have that kind of good feeling/spirit too when they decided to choose GnG concept for own stay 😉 . If resident having selfish, not maturity in term of mentality and cannot tolerence with neighbour, then i think GnG will be not a good stay for this group of people, non-GnG more suit them :-) .

    @AC Milan,
    I think it is very hard to predict how far the house price can go in next 3 years time :-). A lot of factors will influence the house price, but you can try to compare the price(with its land size/build up area/facilities and facilities’s size) with its nearby GnG projects such as Gemilang Permai Indah, Harmoni residensi etc. i think they’re not cheaper tough 😉

    Thanks for the info. Then gemilang permai’s road better than orange villa 😉 But just wonder what is the lowest house price in Gemilang permai indah ? I think the price is much much higher than orange villa since developer is planning for wider road. Type of the houses in there mostly semi-d i believe. :-)

    The width of standard road under local goverment(MPSP) care also around 24ft. You’ll face same reverse issues too if you’re staying in non GnG which the road is maintaining by MPSP. So agree with K9 on this need tolerence among the taman resident.

    For non GnG, Bayu Mutiara, Nagamas… 40 feet from gate to gate, tar road 24ft is part of the 40ft. For Gemilang Permai, 40ft gate to gate, for Harmoni it is 24ft gate to gate. Central way also 24ft if not mistaken.

  120. k9
    October 25th, 2011 at 22:34 | #120

    @T,

    Bayu Mutiara, Nagamas can considered old taman already, if last time development then yes. For recent year development especially new development in a good locations, hard to find 40ft road from gate to gate.

    If developer can give 40ft gate to gate then it is a good news for the resident. But with recent hiking in land price at island and mainland, i foresee very hard to get 40ft now :-(

    Last time land price in BM cheaper compare to now. If need big road as of now, then can go to Jawi, simpang empat, tambun, nibong tebal. The land in those areas much cheaper than BM, no problem for developer to give you bigger road :-). Same as CW project, land there cheaper than land at Song Ban Ken road, no point to argue on which project giving bigger road as location and time not same. Time will determine the land price.

Next year chinese new year, show unit will complete, price will be RM568K+RM??K (10k or 20K or 30K), may be RM600K. Upon completion will be RM650K or RM680K …. OC obtained ?? RM700K to RM720K ??

    NewKids very optimistic on the Orange Villa.
    I personal think that 3 yrs to reach RM800K is very unlike.
    May be 3 yrs from RM558K to RM750K, let every one make RM200K will be good.
    Unless the trend goes on, many developer also build GnG with full facilities, initial selling RM680K, the in 3 years time, may reach RM880K …. may be i also very optimistic ………
    Hey other … what is ur input?

  131. BD
    October 26th, 2011 at 17:25 | #131

    I think though the trend of G&G just started in BM area, it may not last long (may be not >5 years?), as the starting price now already quite high. The price will probably rise from 600k to 800k, but I’m afraid not too many people can afford it later, if the personal income still remain stagnant. However, if less G&G development in the future, then it means less supply, which translate to more “exclusive” and more value for the existing one in good location.

    Since there is maintenance fees involved who will be collecting the maintenance and whether the facilities are well maintained after some time or once the strata title has been issued. What is some willing to pay and some does not pay, any enforcement or they will still be able to enjoy the facilities? Some more I undertaker from the developer that another tam an residence will be sharing the same facilities.

    The GnG is easier to manage compare to high rise where consist of 300-600 units. The Touch n Go system will able to force people to pay. No pay no enter. Want to behave rough, let them face the security and other JMC. 2ndly, buyer have to start involve at very early stage. Start looking how they manage the Fund accounts. Have to form the Resident Assoc very earlier. Beat on the developer if then have any unclear account. As long as the developer have other project running Orange Avenue, Orange Residential, we can push them if they not cooperate. Worst case, we can match to their new project office and spoiled their sale. Of cos, this will be the last choice.

    Hi all, really can go RM800K in 3 years time. Sure i will buy ….. but would listen to other comment first. If more people comment positive, i will seriously consider to get a inter unit.
    Inter unit is better for investment.

    Palm Villa looks nice and well managed. But i believe Orange villa will be much better than Palm villa since this is Dato Hong’s first residential project after disposed all his shares and quit from Tambun Indah group to setup Tah Wah group(according to internet’s news).

    Tah Wah won’t let their first project down. They need to show buyer on how good/strong their company in order to gain and boost buyer’s confident level and perspective to their company. Normally for every company, first project is an important starting point to determine how far the company can go :-) . If Tah Wah not did it well in this project, ppl will lose confidents to them, and this surely impacting their next projects. It is not easy to gain back the buyer confidents level 😉 . Unless they wanted their business to end here :-)

    That’s why my views is positive to this project 😉

    Palm Villas is good, but i doslike the backfground view, they have flat house and old building. Look eyesore to me. Sure Orange Villa will be better without high rise near by. Yes, still have so so good unit. Pool view finish.

    @AhTu
    It’s better to compare with BM Residence by Tambun Indah and Harmoni Garden by Airmas since its in the same area, but i noticed that the response for Orange Villa is “hotter” as compared to the other two.

  152. AhTu
    October 28th, 2011 at 14:48 | #152

    @Suelynn
    for bm residence – 3 storey terrace need 438k ++ liao, build up and land area is smaller and no roof top garden, no gng for security, no cantik eh swimming pools, club house for gyms, total units few only. Because of total unit less, looks not nice lor, less units not feel like a taman to me ma…

    for harmoni garden, 2 storey semi D already 669k++ for early bird liao, build up only 24×45 for ground n 1st floor, no roof top, no backyard somemore, ada gng but size of swimming pool n club house, landscaping very small lor..if very small, meaning to me the whole looks of gng will tak cantik lor…i know they’re low density, that is good but low density meaning we need to pay more on maintainance fees ma…if monthly need to pay more, then a bit burden to ppls ma…

    so orange vila hotter lor now since there are in the same location, if compare everything, more cheaper ma…. ppls not stupid la….evry sen count ma, same as buyer like us lor……hahaha :-)

    Sale person told us, that OV only sell RM160 per sf compared to other at RM190, RM210 ++. They even not include the whole area, only add in half of the roof top. If add in, more cheap then RM160. plan to book a unit tomorrow morning. Since pool view now is so expensive, I will consider unit 81 or 20, refer to the plan view. It closer to pool and gym. Better garden view also. Hope can appreciate to RM750K in two years time.

    @WinnieWowWow

    got good and bad for both units:
    for unit 20, it is a inter unit but front tak kena blocking by any terrace units, meaning u can have a good view and will not feel “pek chek” seeing tall building like other inter unit..

    for unit 81 only got 2 good points if compare to unit 20 la..that are corner lot n can have a side view lor..but might be hot lor later, ur 3rd floor eh wall will sure kena hot sun one…

  162. AhTu
    October 28th, 2011 at 18:32 | #162

    not only ur 3rd floor eh wall will kena hot sun, all floors eh wall will kena afternoon n evening sun, cause unit 81 is a corner lot facing south west..

  166. AhTu
    October 28th, 2011 at 19:17 | #166

    @BD
    gemilang permai indah, the GnG develop by air mas one ka? i heard those units there all sold liao..but never mind, since u r asking me, let me give u my analysis too..

    gemilang permai location better than orange vila because of the new shop lots is nearby nia..just a walking distance can buy things liao, very convenient, no nid drive car to buy roti..hehe..but may be some ppls not like it due to they feel environment no good, too close to shop lots more noisy lor..imaging la if 10 shop lots there are doing motocycle or car repairing services, everyday heard noisy sound from those moto n car repairing shops, asap hitam out from the engine, u will bei tahan too…hahaha

    there’re around 66units inside the GnG, mostly are 3 storey semid, the area is not big, i mean the swimming pool, club house n landscaping, not big meaning not nice for viewing lor…monthly maintaince fees is around rm330 if i not silap..their height of outside gate is just at 6fts which i think is not height enough lor, for GnG, the best is 7.5-8ft…too height also not good cause will have a feeling like staying inside a jail..haha

    if u plan to buy gemilang permai, buy the units far from the shop lots one, if u r unlucky and bought the unit nearer to shop lot, then u nid to make sure ur nearer shop lot not doing any car/moto repairing or foodcourt stuffs, the cooking smoke plus car/moto smoke will make ur house wall oily and smelly too….this is why i said bad environment if residential area too near shop lots..hahahaha..

    hope u will find i commented right thing here and gemilang indah’s buyer won’t tembak me…just sharing sharing my analysis nia since Mr BeD interested to hear my analysis on gemilang indah lor..

    @KH
    kam xia …kam xia for the support….haha..

    for permatang sanctuary, i think location and environment not very good lor, too far from town n good schools n got lot of bangla n indonesia workers staying nearby tamans that developed by asas dunia last time, u can go round round the nearby tamans to c what i said is true or not. i think the site also a flood area, i m not song song kong here, there is a big playground in their layout plan, if i tak silap, that playground will serve as a retention pond too, u can see permatang sanctuary pictures in ijm land site too, u sure will find the nice pond surrounding semid houses picture, that pond is a retention pond i think, when no rain n no air masuk, it will become playground…but not sure how ijm land will control the water later….so that when it become playground si, the grass and land inside it will not become muds or filling by muds…hahahaha…u can double check with ijm sales on this matter laa…another things is not sure u believe on feng sui or not, if u believe it, u can use the wikimap that K9 like to use one..haha..to check the area…u will find one of the main road there looks like a pisau sabit 1, its tajam end is pointed to permatang santuary site. i hope the new fly over road will block the bad feng sui of pisau tajam road there…if u r not believe on feng sui, then u can ignore this..

    The good site i can see for permatang santuary is the house price is cheaper lor ..estimated price now is at 450k++. length of the house is ok but i not like the width of the house lor, the max is 22ft nia..like a terrace to me although it is a semid, i think at first ijm plan to build terrace there, but due to semid more popular, then they decided make a terrace in a semid lor….i think one mistake they’re making here that might jeopardize their sales later on..that is small width lor, they should make the width of the house bigger ..at least 26ft since the location there no very good liao..only bigger and really spacious build up will attract buyer in such location. but if they build bigger build up area, then the house will become costly liao….headache to them too..hahaha

    very tired to type liao…huh..let me stop here first….if u r interested to hear my comment on jesselton hills, i will share with u later…now need to rest first…hahahaha

    for Bm residence eh semid: my comment is same with its terrace, very very few units nia for semid..not look like a taman for me lor…and location there surrouding by old houses, not nice…u can go to the site to c the area laa…u need to find golden wheel hotel at BM first…take its side road and drive masuk almost end there i think..then u can find the site liao…unless ur budget tight and cannot expense liao, then might be can think of it lor since location not very bad ma..

    for me, if i want to buy a house that cost me more than half million a bit(around 600k..hahaha), i will choose a GnG concept that have better facilities and at convenient location lor, we all know life is so short now ma…enjoy in the pool n clubhouse inside a secure GnG is utmost important laa…manacai 1day unlucky mati kong kia…..how lam liao laa..hahaha…simpan banyek $$$ pun that $$$$ cannot carry to heaven laa..hahaha

    I’ve also booked 1 unit. After comparing BM Utama Phase 3, 3-storey Terrace House at $508k. 2 main reasons :

    1) the access – I work in Penang Island, my wife work in BM town. BM Utama only have 1 access via Jln Bkt Minyak which is very jam.

    2) the clean & fresh air with no industrial area nearby. BM Utama is just behind the Bkt Minyak Industrial park and Gemilang is very near to Bukit Tengah Industrial area.

    I am a JMC for one housing in penang. Just purchase one unit at Orange and soon to be BM people d. I am thinking to form a Resident/Purchaser Association for OV, so that we can have a close check on the project progress, quality & related account. This will help all purchaser and may help the developer to make thing more suit to all of us. The will make TahWah group success in their first projects.
    Any one want to be Chairman, Sec, Treassurer, and other committee.
    We will name is as OVRA (Orange Villa Resident Association) and later this OVRA will chnage to be come OV-JMC and Jointly manage this OV with developer. Anyone want to joint, prefer Bw/Bm person. Pls give name. Ensure promote team work and collective decision. We will exercise 100% our right to scrutinize the developer works.

    Good project, need to have strong JMC peoples…… prefer to have experience ex-JMC person, lawyer as legal advisor, accountant as our treasurer, electrical technician/engineer to advice on MnE stuff, building contractor to offer special rate for OV, police officer or ex-police to take care of security …….. some time it is also good to have someone who have a very good contact with local ‘Big Brother or Dai Gor’ to ensure the ‘dark side been take care off ‘
    I hope whoever purchaser who read this can start to thing an tell us your expertise.
    Remember, start GnG or Condo, we are sharing land, hardware, facilities, we cann be selfish. Selfishness will end up with too much free hand given to developer and may lead to miss use our money, or those minority bad guy who have personal interest, they will become your JMC and ‘eat’ your money. Think about it.

    Look like, when talk about provide volunteer service as JMC, all of you ‘Big Mouth’ just sudden quiet. To me, this have show initial selfishness behavior for this group of early purchaser. Orange Villa? Very have to manage well already ……. too bad.
    Pls dont shoot me, i am just telling the truth
