Kinda lost count on how many recent projects within the Sungai Ara vicinity…
500psf in Sg ara?? Another project that buyers pay almost nothing till completion? Good luck.
When it will launch?
500psf, can meh? Sure got 6-7% rebate one lar, then will only need to pay 20-30k initially. DIBS, free car park etc. Save 100k like that. People sure drawn to this kind of deal one. Hehe…
@cl
According to the developer, it will launch end of the year.
@wbk
Possible :).. I think also depends on the market sentiment during launch time.
Thanks Admin. Is posisble could you help to upload the location map. Thanks.
@cl
For some reason, they are still very secretive about the location. They just said within 1 KM driving distance from Meridien Residence.
Will update here as soon as I find out more details.
With such secretive and also the name “Orchard”….i think is shud b near to the hill slope/ forest…..let see who are the “lucky” residents stay next to it…..
I already phone and ask the sales girl, she tell me just next to Meridian Residence only. Furthermore she told me to go to the QBM to check out their booth today and tomorrow for more details.
should be somthing wrong about RM 500 psf, ridiculous price!
it located at the controvosy hillside which triggered residents to protest recently.
look like sg ara will become second air itam…
too many projects there….
subsale units on those area will be a lot from next year onwards…
@MeiMei
That protest is for project next to Regency Heights lar. Not this hill.
@kk
Huh? Become second air itam. Sure bor? Air itam is swamped by low cost flats wor. Sg Ara got so many landed properties… And the school there top in Malaysia one ler. The headmaster said many parents are technology specialists working in the MNC at FTZ lo, that’s why.
Now Tanjung Bunga, Tanjung Tokong, Gurney all no land for affordable homes already. The Light IJM all 800k and above. Queensbay Batu Maung area same. USM area no more land. So the next booming area clearly will be Sg Ara and Bayan Baru lo. Quiet living, yet convenient to go to work, shopping mall or airport.
No more quiet living in Sg Ara with The Clovers and Orchardville coming up. Yes do have to agree the traffic congestion will eventually turn into Air Itam style.
I thought Golden Triangle road will be widen? That should ease the traffic in out of Sg Ara kua. And The Clovers will have new road link to Jalan Dato Awang, this should also divert traffic to Bayan Baru lo.
One Residence will open up the road to Jalan Dato Awang by 2015. Another way to divert the traffic from Sg Ara.
Still waiting for government to widen the road to Teluk Kumbar traffic light, and widen the road at permatang damai. Then access road should be plenty.
Yes. It will be widen but when ? Within 1km it have so many new condo and the widen road not sure able to support traffic flow from sg ara , relau n air itam.
3 years ago the traffic not so jam at the traffic there but it was jam like hell recently. I think the road overload by car from air itam / paya terubong area.
Also sg ara new condo also not so affordable nowadays.
Bayan baru predict will be jam like hell as we’ll when all those new project like elite , 1 world … Etc completed. Just my 2cents .
They keep on building units 1200sf and larger at RM500 >, this is not affordable to the half of the middle class. 90% of RM600k means loan amount around RM3000 per month. Household income must be at lease RM7500k… Hope Penangites becomes rich soon and the economy of Penang boom.
New condo with low down payment is the only way to attract buyers in Penang nowadays. Goverment should publish the mean salary of Penangites so that we can really know how Penangites earn.
@wbk
Which school in Sg Ara top in Malaysia? The one I know and recognised is Kwang Wah primary in Sg Nibong.
@Kk
within 2-3 years all the road that i mentioned will be widen or opened la. This will lead to booming in Bayan Baru area i think. With Jusco, One Precint, Arena, sPICE, Elit Height, One world all coming out within the next three years. It will be like Bandar Puchong now lar.
I agree Relau area a bit zhap lor, so many low cost apartments. That’s why i would never recommend people buy there one lo. People want to upgrade won’t buy there one lar.
The one behind the Sg Dua Pasar. Directly at the t junction when come from pantai hostipal. Top in Malaysia ler. Students there won many national competition like the Olympic Matematics. If your children cannot take pressure, don’t send to this kind of school lar, very stressed one. Most of the parents are yound couples working in MNC one lo.
almost lost counts of how many upcoming projects in sg ara….i have to second that its air itam no 2 in making….
I don’t think so lo. There are so many recently completed and newly built landed properties by SP Setia, Ideal, ,Sunway, Palmex in Sg Ara. Air itam mostly low cost flat ler, and have been there many many years ago. Black wall everywhere. If you specifically refer to Relau area, maybe lar. Hehe…
Will Sg Ara be the next Air Itam still too early to judge. But for sure Bayan Baru will be one of the most benefit from all these developments in south east region.
One of the difference btw Sg Ara & Air Itam/Paya Trubong is the access road networks.
In Sg Ara there are more access points from main roads and not being corner by hills….instead backup by the hills.
Then another plus point is the growing middle and upper middle class from the FTZ areas residing due to proximity to Bayan Lepas and also both Pg bridges.
It is a new growing township and hence pretty clean cut and organized as it ie being develop.
But we need more govt help to widen the roads and add more access roads.
According to FengShui Period of 8, this Penang SE sector would experience good growth!
But we need more govt help to widen the roads and add more access roads.
anyone checkout at QB today?? Do update. Tks.
These two areas of Air Itam and Sg. Ara are built with same concept and that
is traffic jamns.To widen the roads and add more access roads means more
traffic lights.( Penang’s way of thinking that it will helps to solve traffic
congestions.)
You have to get these “square heads” in the town planning units replaced with
those who have brains and learn from other cities outside M’sia on how to tackle
this problem.
Air Itam traffic is already a nightmare, even during weekend. But you will never see traffic jam in Sg. Ara during weekend. However, Relau area need abit of improvement lo, hopefully the Golden Triangle road widening can happen sooner or later lar. Hehe…
Area like Desa Ara all the way to airport should have no problem in term of access and traffic. So many new roads and 4 lanes some more. As long as the the MNC is growing, Sg. Ara will be growing. This is the area where the non local who works in FTZ like to stay…
Best if the monorail project get to start again.
Well, for those who think that Sg. Ara is not that congested they are
welcome to stay there and to find out for themselves.
Many of my colleagues live there. Some of them are looking forwards to upgrade their houses now, and still choose the same area ler. Don’t scare people lar. Hehe…
Just imagine when your growing children start entering good secondary schools like Union, PCGS, CLHS, CHHS… Unless you still prefer the SMK nearby in Sg Ara.
Can you imagine the primary school at Sg Ara can become top school in Malaysia? It is because of the community. Their parents are technology specialists as mentioned by the headmaster during one of the interview.
If the communicaty become bigger, and if new secondary school built here. I am sure it will become top secondary school in just a few years.
Mark my words. Hehe…
don cheat la, those want to upgrade will move away from Sungai Ara. that area is full of engineers. I moving out to Gurney, and I also moving out from factory job.
I dont want my kids grown up as engineers in future. Ask yourself as engineers, will u want your kids to go through same life as u ?
Ya lor, don’t cheat people lar. Other than factory, where else you can move up your career ler since you work in FTZ all this while. Waiters ah? Banking? Selling insurance? Hehe…
You don’t know factory in FTZ got finance, marketing, sales, R&D, project management one meh? Hehe…
@Intxl
Any job will have bad or good life. I don’t see any problem with my life here in FTZ :). And i don’t think people who staying in Guyney are nccessary better life than mine over here in Sungai ara .
I don’t stay in Sg Ara, but this is not a good way to despise FTZ folks as don’t forget that it is Pg State no. 1 income!
w/out these FTZ ppl/engineers/admin/ etc…even Gurney won’t be as successful as today. Pg will be “ulu-ulu” place and all of us won’t be bother to have this forum too.
There will be many others supporting industry that indirectly depend on FTZ.
Sg Ara will be part and partial of Pg prime real estate …with reasonable/affordable price (as of today).
Gurney? sure I like it too…but not that smart/rich enough to earn that much to stay there.
It looks like this Abang Intxl just got his performance review…
LOL !!!
WBK, u seems to have high regards on MNC workers, not sure to say you naive or what. What makes you think the child of MNC workers is smarter than the child of others ( bankers, lawyers, doctors, business owner etc etc) ? As far as I know, most MNC workers can afford only medium range property ( Penang Standard), that is Rm800k and below. If they are so smart, why can’t they afford a better home?
@JTR
Well said, I have been this industry for 25 years, today MNC survive here not becos of the pool of smart people around but pool of cheap labour we have. For those who think they are smart becos work inside factory, look at the other side and called yourself as low cost labour as bangla in the eye of foreign company. Check on the greatest and latest Px12, is a circuit design dept or just a circuit clean up dept.
The problem is hor, I heard a few people here keep saying that Sg Ara is not a good place. Then I shared my perspective on Sg. Ara. I shared what the headmaster’s thought on why the school can become top in Malaysia. Then suddenly someone came in said Sg. Ara residents are mostly engineers. Then I told him it is not true. Now you come in and said I don’t have high regards for bankers, lawyers, doctors, business owners….. Hmmm….
Do you get the point? Hehe…
I feel sorry for you that you think you have been cheaper labour all this while… Sad.
No wonder so many cabut to Alxxxx…..
@Intxl
No wonder you have been in this industry for 25 years but still can’t find good life :P. It is the mindsets that matters.
I’m only 15 years in the industries, but having a good career in MNC, and being recognized as leading a smart group of people in the eye of “foreign company”. And in good work life balance
@Intxl
I second wbk. I felt so sorry that you being called cheap labor and treated as bangla by your “foreign company”.
somemore for 25 years…
He has this mind set due to Intxl not giving him VSS package (25×1.25+3)*RM25k=~900k while he struggling to buy Orchardville…. haha
@Uncle Ho
You were wrong. I think he just got his PIP :)…
Dulu-dulu when Uncle used to work in Bayan Lepas hor…
we betul-betul considered as cheap labour la…. hahahhaa….
But hor…. I still believe there are smart people in Bayan Lepas making crazy loads of money just to ‘clean up circuits’. My neighbour’s sister’s cousin-uncle’s 4th son is one of them. Ha ha ha
I used to take 6 years to clear my debt on landed, and now engineers need to take 15 years to clear the debt of 1000 sqf condo. I pity for those engineers who think there are smart but continue to rip off by other profession.
Anyway, I out of this circle and those who think as ‘smart engineers’ can continue to serve your life there.
LOL! You guys are so funny. Any job has it’s pros and cons. Any business too.
Sounded like your life in FTZ “foreign company” was not that bad after all. Can clear your landed property debt in 6 years time!!! That’s unbelievable!!! Hehe…
I don’t know whether I should pity you or not. But stereotype the MNC folks as cheap labour that do not have future is not the way to go lar. Who knows one day your children or grandchildren very good in matematic and decided to be an engineer. What are you going to do? Tell them to forget their dream ah? What a parent… just joking la. Hehe…
hi peoples – 6 years to clear landed because last time cheap mar. nothing to do with FTZ people earning less. starting pay already increase to >3k now (last time 2K +). blame it on the goverment for not controlling the price
and i don’t believe @Intxl is from Intel, only stupid people will reveal where he actualy works in such anonymous forum!
The FIZ ppl may not earn much more or much less than others. But most FIZ ppls way of dressing and calculative mindset (Kiam siap) make them being perceived as cheap or lower class labour. You rarely see them dress smartly.
@Steven
Are you sure? Perhaps you need to know more engineers and see how they dress outside their working hours.
welcome to penangjobtalk
I agree that house prices are getting very xpensive. Top houses for those have big money. Go be your own boss if you want to get those 1mil plus home. Without the mnc there will not indutry to support those small factories n no ppl to support retail business. Then we will not have much populated sg ara.. n not much rich bosses… then full of org miskin???
When comes to properties, everything is connected. Hehe…
so, it this the project behind Sunrise Garden or Meredien? Both also on hill slope. I think more than 25 degree.
Behind tat one should be palmex.. Unless they form reka indah…. Even setia they put another company name….
No lar. Just beside Meridien and Setia Pearl Island. Palmex one is near Regency Heights. Now all developers are rushing to launch new projects because when comes 2015, it will be built then sell liao… Maybe those unsold units will have to wait till OC then only can sell…
Market crash all die
market will slowdown but won’t crash. housing price will still be there and won’t go up exponentially until market recover. subsale unit’s price might go down but it still profitable for investor. it’s matter of % .
if any of the big MNC move out, or massive layoff due to bad economy, a lot of the properties in this region will be lelong…
Penang has already moved up the value chain already lar. See where got company closed shop here and moved to China or Vietnam for the last few years? If you survived the 2009 downturn, you should be stronger already lar… hehe..
Leong won’t lar, just that property investment return might be much less bcos too many units flood the market at the same time lar. Need time to digest one…
Haha, MNC move out? Probably you have been waiting this to be happened when Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu start up to bring in the MNC since 1970th. But see by your eye, how is the growth of MNC in Penang? Many more new plant and office were built and still building, expansion, and even brand new name like St Jude…that are on the Island. The growth at mainland will also good for Island, people still willing to travel to work, see how Batu Kawan is performing, Honda, Bosh, Bose, etc.
@wbk
Go and find out the statistic, if Penang population is continue to growth at current rate, we will facing the house shortage in 2020 due to developer not able to supply to cater the growth. In fact, the growth of property sector at mainland is healthy, in term of price and supply. Island is a bit dangerous as the price has been goreng till not reasonable and most ppl will move to mainland and cause the property to further boost at mainland….
@Ah Dog
No need to find out statistic lar, I also read the same article as you lar. Hehe.. That was what one of the property developer said one ma. Don’t trust them too much lar. They want to sell their house only. Hehe…
anyone has clue where is the location about this place?
Thanks.
Hi .. can anyone advise me the location for this project ? I know it is sungai ara but which part is it? Can anyone advise? Is this project open for register?
Yes, location is very important now.
I do register for this project,but still yet to launch.
maybe already silently sell to those VVIPs & VIPs
Heard that show room in progress and going to launch by next month. Whoever interested on this project must get ready with Vitamin “M”
Setia Pinnacle & OI are cannibalizing the last wave of the market buying power. late comers now suffer for sales liao…too late for The Clovers & Orchard Ville. May be the site has to be remain as orchard for few more years…
Who has info when this is launched and any info from the developer?
Election is near, is now good time to purchase new house or wait after election? Pls share.
@cl
Since the price has stabilized, it is better to wait after GE13.
Special preview at sales gallery on 20 January (Sunday) ….. anyone where is the sales office?
I guess investor club already booked all the good units. What is so special of the special preview?
Selling like a hot cake ytd and many units have been booked.
Any detail sharing for the promotion package. Thanks
7% rebate and came with 2 car parks. But most of the units already booked. I love the new concept for 1600+ unit with separation with parent unit. More privacy for parent & kids.
Who said buyers already depleted? People cancel some bookings don’t mean they give up to buy house, but because they think they found better one.
Most of the units already booked? Probably some old trick lor.. The Clover already cannot sell, and Sky 8 will be cannibalizing the rest of the buying power. This one facing the low cost flats below?
Why the floor plan over here is different from the sales gallery?
@Snake
These floor plan were taken many months ago. They may have changed it. But you may want to check with the developer to confirm which is the latest.
Should buy Orchardville or The Clovers? Orchardville seems a bit expensive.
Orchard Ville seems better as it’s 75% greenery project. Price will definitely appreciate 20% after completion. And it’s nearby Setia Triangle which Mc D has confirmed to join..
This property is at ~MYR520 psf after early bird discount. Furthermore it seems like the developer is promoting the orchard more than the facilities.Just curious if the developer do consider the amount of efforts required to maintain the fruit and herb garden. During fruit season, how are the residents going to ‘share’ the durian, rambutans…..
There is a huge empt land in front of this project, just curious if the view of this property would be block if the empty land were to be developed. No wander the response for Orchard Ville is so poor.
I went to the office yesterday. Only left 25% unsold. They r going to increase the price soon before CNY.
Sg.Ara ?, make it a sharp increase so that I don’t even have to think about
it.
I would like to clarify my earlier statement ‘poor response’ is related to the consumer’s interest/comment on this website related to this project. This project is quite expensive.
I thought market for new project should be around RM450 psft, seems like I underestimate the power of Sg. Ara.
Average RM500-600 per sqft by difference developers
I guess Ideal project One Imperial might be still available under RM500 per sqft if not mistaken.
@ndrew
How do you get the price of RM520psf? The price start at RM548K for 1080sqft at 7th floor before discount. If you take the highest floor 40th, RM548K + RM32K = RM580K, after discount is RM539400. So it is RM500 per sqft.
For RM500 psft, should have many other choices unless you prefer the location better that the rest.
@@ndrew
The cheapest maintenance fees for this property shall be at MYR216 per month for the smallest unit (1080sqf). If the ‘Orchard’ requires higher maintenance cost, then the monthly maintenance fees shall sky rocket. It seems like a novel concept to have an orchard within a condominium property, but this concept is not SUSTAINABLE. Kindly let me know if there are any orchard concept properties that are sustainable? Even MTT’s orchard concept in Balik Pulau is not well conceived.
@Pg Property
Give them a chance to prove themselves.
@Pg Property
easy lah, just outsource the orchard to someone and the harvested fruits as payment to offset the orchard maintenance, so self-sustainable…but then you may have bangla or indon workers stay inside there…
@PG Guy
The developer gonna say bye bye once OC and not going to manage the orchard anymore liao…none of their business..
Bigger common area for a condo property = higher maintenance cost. In the near future, the condo dwellers of Orchard Ville have the potential to be a developer and develope the ‘Orchard’ into more condo units.
@Judah
Hope that this will not be another case like the Boulevard condo, what you get is not what you see in the nice brochure/artist impression…
That is why it is called artist impression.
By the way, how is Boulevard’s quality/finishing?
We dont have to plant fruit trees to enjoy the fruits of our labour. Just buy purchase the fruits instead.
I cannot phantom the idea of future Orchard Ville residents in managing the orchard. That would incur high maintenance cost. Nowadays, even Balik Pulau orchard owners have outsourced their orchards to third party. Too cumbersome to manage the orchards on their own.
Your reply make me doubt about the so called “orchard”…who know whether it may be a small piece of hillslope grown with bushes in actual?
Dear Property Gurus,
I am new to Penang property and I have booked one unit a week ago. Does this mean that I have to pay more Quit Rent (Cukai Tanah) and Assessment Fee (Cukai Pintu) because the total development area is about 12 acres?
Sarah
Sarah, good question.
I have booked 1 unit as well.
Almost sold out. Left about 10% unsold. Price has been increased to 20k for remaining units…
More than 520psf still almost sold out. Not sure how many of them are for own stay. I think mostly brothers sisters of MR buyers. It is like if you don’t buy now, you won’t be able to find a place to stay later. Crazy…
Hi everyone….I am new and your advice is precious to me. I just booked 1unit and after that, visited the proposed site. There’s only 1 access road now and the surrounding comprises of low cost apartment. Does anyone have any idea if there will be plans on road widening and further developments around Orchardville?
@BengK They are now widening the road due to MR project. The widening of the road is until Orchard Ville.
The selling point of this project is the orchard, 75% GREEN and Green Building Index.
@BengK
how can you booked without surveying the actual site? you are not buying vege…..
Hi Beng, I have survey the site and yes u are right. there is only 1 access road and u have to passed the low cost apartment to enter orchard ville, the developer will wider the road and repaint the low cost apartment.
That’s good news.
@wen
wen >> I liked the layout and concept so much.It’s just something different and away from the busy world. Anyway, I still have time to consider since S&P will only be available in Apr-June timeframe.
@BengK
layout and concept can be marketing talk. i m quite sceptical about the orchard concept although it sounds nice. sales person keep saying can loan 90% and this scares me.
@wen
why scare of the 90% loan?
Any idea if both blocks will be able to have seaview? I understand that they will be overlooking the airport runway but to add a seaview would be nice…
I don’t think there’s seaview. It’s gonna be mostly green.
@BengK Both blocks shall be overlooking the airport and sea.
@Snake
i would say we shouldn’t invest too much into property. although Penang property price quite stable all the time, 60% is the max we should go for.
Err..so is it greens view or sea view?i was at the Penang airport departure hall and could see meridien from there..as orchardville is just slightly to its left..I assume it can see the airport runway and also the sea beyond it?
@Den
Good, so they are just selling concept and idea only. No license at all. I am going to MPPP to ask to kill this project, together with Sky 8
@ezalor
why kill the project?
@Roy
because he dun like it.. simple as that.. ^^
@Roy
I am existing SPI resident. I dont want more projects to make the place crowded, and I dont want more access roads as the excuse to allow more project in this quiet place. Be simple: no new high rise project, no new access roads.
@ezalor, are from penang? are you local penangite? if you dont want the place to be crowded you should move out penang island. Penang is an island, there is no way to stop developing. There will be more and more people move to penang, work here, study here, and form their family here…
Different J here. More access road doesn’t mean less quiet. I stay in desaria with at least 3 but it is still a very pieceful area. I do think no more high dense project should be allowed unless the township has been properly planned. Too dense now.
Who ever want to build new projects right inside SPI, must expand the Persiaran Kelicap traffic junction lanes. That’s all I demand.
Since u r a current owner, if possible, try gather others and feedback to MPPP. No point to discuss here. I suspect development is inevitable especially this is probably part of SPI deals for the free PISA refurbishment. What is required is proper township planning and solution – this is the only chance to do it right. Do it now, rather than sorry later. I personally have written to them waiting for response.
No no, expand the Persiaran Kelicap will only shift the bottleneck to other places, like the bypass road in 1R, Juntion to Jln Tengah or Jln Mahkamah..better let the SPI residents stuck there if no improvement at other bottleneck.. now it is already very jam at ChongZhen primary school there. No point to expand the Persiaran Kelicap alone.
@ezalor
Since you already know that they do not have the license to build it … so no worry loh !
@Lian G
They are in progress applying the licences, while at the same time collect booking fees from buyers.
@Penang Lang
At least you wont see cars stuck outside your house, or you will jog together all the jammed cars beside you which keep horn horn horn.
@ezalor
Yes, SPI will turn into a giant carpark during rush hours. Please don’t shift the bottleneck to Desaria. I don’t like that either.
@Penang Lang
I guess now everywhere is also jam … It’s a matter of timing and place only … .
Come on guys, no matter if u r at desaria, 1R or Spi, u do need to care. Dont just watch over the wall as at the end, there are only so many roads. Last time, traffic was not as heavy at chong cheng. now, desaria also affected if u have to use that road. all we need is proper township n traffic planning, all the way from school to spi and probably even larger area. Before any good plan, should not allow any new high dense project. It is not too much hassle towrite a complain letter, I suppose.
And I believe developers are smart. They may just show analysis reports only at micro level around the development region. But what we need is a macro overview and plan. Not easy but can be done
I did book one too…
@Ben
Any idea when will the license be given?
Not sure… anyhow it is grear place to buy for home. … Green concept. ..
Just get to know from developer….. definitely the project still on. Only waiting some application to be approve. .. nothing to worry. .. this pksce is really goid for stay. …
Your developer of course said still ON lar. While MPPP there said they haven’t approve yet. Both also not lie. Not yet approve but dare to collect money already.
It’s ok to wait for approval, anyhow my down payment is not ready yet.. Hehe
I have checked, they said should be in May or June.
Anyhow… this is really a great place to stay ad it is green concept… and the reka indah not bad in his project…
I heard there are a lot of complaints for their Boulevard project by the buyers. Anyone know the details and what is the end result? Would like to know more about the developer track record.
I’m one of the boulevard buyer. So far my unit got no problem.
@Gibbs, what kubd of complaints u heard? Can share?
I@Gibbs
Can share?
@Ben
I saw the comments in the Meridian Residence thread in this forum. some sort like buyers complaint the finished project nothing like what has been in the marketing brochure/model during launching…
https://www.penangpropertytalk.com/2011/02/meridien-residence/comment-page-1/#comments
comment #177
Oh I see… so far the boulevard project for me still meet my expectation… lets see.. did u book one for orchard ville?
is there a price increase for the remaining units?
… any idea if there is anymore units left ?
@Lian G
The last I saw in feb was that only 50% were sold, and the developer had blocked 30% for bumi units..u might want to check to see if the bumi units have been released?
Hmm … I kind of interested with the Dual Key Unit – 1 unit per floor only …
@Lian G
Gotta check with reka Indah directly then…anyone knows if the permit for this development has been granted? Or must wait till after GE?
can anyone share where is the office/show house?
Just opposite balai polis of Bay Avenue (near Queensbay)
As for me Boulevard didnt even close to my expections
1) water leakage at living room, balcony, washing area and 2nd bedroom
2) uneven tiles
3) holes in between tiles (tag more than 70 holes)
4) hollow tiles
5) bad maintenance, lift always down, public toilets are dirty, changing room beside pool flooded and clog with mud…
6) pool area totally dark around 7-8 onwards
7) dark hallway
8) dark parking lots, install lights but never on even it is dark
9) low quality gym equipments and dirty, gym is big but only 3 treadmill for almost 500 residence
10) Gangster taking care for renovation, got to pay RM500 for rubbish collection…
The brochure for Boulevard also misleading…you see the picture shown at the pool area with a nice sun deck but actual none at all…
The touch card system in the lift is really bad as it is located around 2 feet above the floor so have to bent down everytime to tag the card before pressing the level…haiz…dont know what to say…
@cardevect
All touch card system is like that one lar. Need to consider kids and people in wheel chair.
Too low ler…It’s around my knee area so kinda suck…
I SEE… really is too low.. how can a touch card system place so low… poor arrangement.
Type A 1080s.f sold out
Type c also fully booked
Anyone who interested can contact 0174134770
40+units available .
Can I sold my unit after sign spa?
What u want to said here? @Ryan Ong
Who already get the S&P?
Bankers just called up to get documents for loan application
Has the permit for this development been obtained?
Yes the developer has obtained the permit in beginning of May. Expected to sign in S&P in July/August.
I can assist anyone who needs a housing loan or housing insurance, and I’m able to calculate for you roughly how many percent(%) one’s entitled, before submitting any documents. Please e-mail me at : wwp1023@gmail.com For further info or appointment.

Wow RM555psf for Orchard Ville. Talk about forward pricing!!!
I understand that the developer spend quite a huge sum of money to widen the road and painting of both apartments(Mutiara Perdana and other) that leads to Orchard Ville.
Hopefully RID shall improve on their quality and service after learning from their Boulevard and Meridian experiences.
@2013 property
mind to share some of the bad experiences on Boulevard & Meridian.
Thank you.
Dear J, I don’t own any unit of Boulevard or Meridian.
My close lady friend who stays at Boulevard mentioned that the condo management has improved since she moved in beginning of this year.
I just signed the S&P for this property yesterday.
I look forward to meet my future Orchard Ville neighbours here.
