Some good view units on this project want to release. interested please contact 0124805233

I am interested in this development, possible for some one to get in touch with me on this.

0124833188

All,
Any idea of this developer? trying to study more from the web page but can’t view.. copy right… @@#@#&&^ wonder to know any good track record from this developer.. can it be trusted?

see another blog at The Clovers – many negative feedback… so still wondering to book the unit or not? do advise whoever have the experiences with this developer. Appreciate and thanks a lot

@Wondering
Well you’ve read on how Clover’s buyers got cheated into booking the units with unapproved planning for 2 years which until now they have not signed their S&P. Plans changed and buyers had to top up the selling price, density increased and buyers are forced to sign or give up just because developer wants to sell at a higher price to other buyers. Quaywest pretty much like history repeats because planning is not approved yet as well and yes developer started collecting booking fee also.

In other words, if you dont mind being cheated then go ahead and book. Maybe you will get you key in 2020. Maybe never…

You think they are not aware? They are engineers , managers, etc highly educated
Because of 1 thing. Greedy

The normal practice is paid RM10K to stake holder lawyer.
No approval and nothing except some beautiful brochures.
People pay willingly, all sold out also.

By the time, all approval received. Either left lousy units or price hiked RM200K or more.
I myself “benefit” , one condo already “profit” almost RM150K compared to latest price by developer. Not even OC yet. Penang, either love or hate it

Anyone not happy can lodge a complain to Ministry of Housing. By right, developers are not allowed to collect any money until they are ready to sign S&P with buyers. If you want to get the developer into trouble, very easy, just make a complain to the ministry.

Nothing to do with developer. It is buyer who is itchy and willing to pay a lawyer to help him secure a purchase. Try to get such letter/ agreement and read yourself.

You can lodge cimplaint with the booking form which usually carry the developer letter head.

Hello, the condo that you bought with Developer’s booking form last time means all approval received already . Most probably, you also paid RM100K more at least, investor!!

That project already started receiving booking at least 6 months back via a lawyer.
Absolutely nothing to do with developer

Everything involves developer…no developer no development means no stakeholder (lawyer). You dont see stakeholder do launching and collect booking fee right? its the DEVELOPER. And things change very fast which makes the developer somehow regretted the initial selling price. So what to do? delay…make people let go. Come up with silly excuses. Finally force ignorant stubborn buyers to top up if they still insist in buying. Quaywest is exactly the same as The clovers. Do not repeat the same mistakes others did.

@kenneth123

What you say is true, buyers were scrambling to buy when times are good. They will find all sort of ways to get ahead of others to buy.

Some developers blatantly take “booking deposits”, while the “careful” ones sign “options” with buyers. So, on surface it is not “deposit”, but technically speaking, whether “options” or “deposit”, they serve the same purpose, which is to have a transaction agreement for a certain yet-to-be-built property before obtaining council approval for the said property. That should be illegal.

Again, even it’s a willing buyer willing seller situation for the signing of the option, IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. Anyone not happy, you can open a case with the ministry of housing, you have strong grounds.

I m interested in the project. Contact me(Mrs Lee)

I have a unit to let go. Interested call 016-5558565

Does anyone know what is the status of this project?

I have a 1,700+sqft dual key sea facing unit keen to let go. Call 02-90885726 or email collintg@gmail.com

Collin :I have a 1,700+sqft dual key sea facing unit keen to let go. Call 02-90885726 or email collintg@gmail.com

This project have not approve yet. No one will like to buy.

Just wonder, how can one let go the unit as the project hasn’t obtained the approval???

Planning already approved for this project..pending Building plan only and will start work in Sept.. that’s the update from developer.

I’m buyer of the Clovers… wish i was not happy about the developer delayed me 2 years but i’m glad that they actually built the clovers..luckily they didn’t cancel the project and developer so cash rich so should be ok. This project location is good but don’t know why the developer like to delay their project? waiting for what? so hard to get approval meh? got money can d ma

can i check where the show room

May I know this project is under commercial title?

Commercial title confirmed . Assesment expensive

@moo
Hi Moo, may i know what’s ur purchase price for The Clovers two years ago?

@moo

Now is already October, but still haven’t start the work yet…

They keep on giving empty promise

Dec’15 already, any progress on this building site?

Jan 16 already… and they are still delaying the ground breaking from Oct –> Dec –> Feb —???

@hami
I am happy they keep on delay and eventually compensate according to SNP for late delivery

S&P is based on stamping date. Have you collected your stamped S&P? If those S&P signed but not stamp, then developer can delay the construction as long as they want

Is commercial title?

Does the price change from 1st booking until now??

approaching to Feb’15 … oh oh..

Typo above, moving to Feb’16 now, progress ?

One of the worst condo in bayan mutiara.. Poor developer.. Lousy quality funishing..

Hi, about the affordable unit, is it under commercial tittle too? and as for ADPL, did their ADPL for this project approved?
Thanks

if commercial title, do we need to pay GST?

Affordable home can’t be under commercial title. This location is very nice but is it really freehold? This is a reclaim land..should be leasehold not freehold. How about World City? I think it is leasehold rite?

The land title is under commercial regardless it is affordable home or not.

When will this project will start?

How much will be the Assessment fees ?

construction will start end of this year…completion estimated 2019 or 2020.

You need to take note there will be another building from TBC to block on Quay West. You may not get a view that you thought. Ask the Sales about it.
Check and confirm with them on the title if is commercial lot.

Read: http://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/2016/03/04/water-bill-dilemma-residents-of-condominiums-built-on-commercial-land-face-higher-rates/

@Future
check with Asia Green that it is commercial Tittle but they will try get the approval for Water & electricity to be residential rate but assessment 7 quickland will be still commercial rate. It is confirmed Freehold as well.
Location is good… i reserve the 1,246 sf one..cheapest in tower A..for around 760k only… i think ok la just no private lifts like other units…. but still waiting for APDL…don’t know when get approval… penang state APDL still pending forever

Developer apply for residential status..may be electric and water can get under residential but not for other fees.

i want to know the detail -quay west residence, already open to public buy effortable house can u email me? thank you

how much is assessment fee? anybody know? yearly or just one off?

HI blackbone, may i know what is assessment fee that you have mentioned on previous comment ?

Thank you.

If under commercial title, means that will incur 6% GST?

@sk
The developer will absorb the GST if reserve your unit before they get APDL approve!
so do it now!

I would like to buy affordable house for this project. Please let me know where to register. Thanks.

Hi does anyone know:

1. the facilities available for the afffordable housing?

2. whether the facilities are being shared with the normal units?

3. If not shared what are the facilities available for the affordable and the normal units respectiively?

APDL obtained already!
Signing S&P finally they are giving extra discount if sign before their given date!!!
now i’m glad i didn’t cancel 😀

Heard this project is under commercial title ?? is it true ??

@Boooo
yes… it is commercial tittle
location is still good…

@mooo,

What is there to be so excited. You just bought recently ? If yes I can try to understand….
FYI, we paid our deposit for the unit selection back in 2013.
This developer is the worst amongst all in term of planning speed. Other project we had invested back then is now already near completion…. 3 years ++ for APDL… oh dear…

@CKS
i booked in 2014,,, yea it has been a long time….. i was about to cancel but then since they give extra package if i signed and the price is right and i like the project so i’m happy to take it
i’m on eof them that called many times to their office to check the status since 2 years…i decided to take it la… price and size and location all ok for me. Developer yea they seem to have many delays on the projects..like the clovers but they will deliver..just after few years..lol as long as they are not running away!

i just booked a unit and is it safe to buy the project that not yet completed? Will developer run away half way? any government policy that can help the buyer to be more secure?
i like the private lifts and the location but not too familiar with the law in Malaysia. Anyone?

@HK
It is safe in Malaysia to buy project not complete because the government has the company to put in the HDA account which big sum of money to secure the buyers in case the developer unable to complete. The money that the buyers pay will pay to the HDA account which the developer not allow to touch unless it has shown they have built to that status and able to claim back.
If developer bankrupt then the gov will hire another developer to finish up the project.
If the developer unable to deliver the project within the SPA period then they need to pay back the buyers called something LAD.
I hope i’m right… i read it somewhere

interested in 1200 sq feet unit.

Hi, Anyone had 1.2K or 1.4K SQFT unit to let go ? Please drop me a whatapp @ 0125531790

Something goes wrong? Construction site idle after sometimes. Developer run road?

@Tat Sing
Are you sure? This is one of the best project in queensbay

Run road is good for Tropicana Bay Residences buyer. Unblocked SeaView. Hahaha

Developer is rich and wont run road la. Only issue is developer has bad rep amongst contractors until people scared dont wanna do his work la. Famous kaki busuk d

Hi guys please contact the owners of Clovers project also built by Asia Green and hear the mother load of complaints .

@Clovers Owner

i thought only Tree Sparina is bad but clovers is the same.
Hope can sell of my TS unit soon

Project has stopped. Why

ezmar :

I am looking for affordable unit for this project. Please contact me at 0164122320

What is the sales take up rate for this project? Does anyone knows? TQ in advanced.

@Nor
around 50% i heard.. they already build to 5th floor from the look of it… i pass by everyday lol
Well… i have let go of my clovers unit and bought Quaywest… The clovers might not be prefect but personally i think it’s good for the amount i paid many years back lol.. for that kind of price for that kind of facilities and private lifts i think it’s ok la.. i was lucky that my units not much defects and i don’t have much problem so far lo. if i pay millions then i would be more disappointed 😛
now QW is more expensive so i hope the quality also better than the clovers la…

Affordable still available?

Affordable units all sold out long long time ago since it is in a prime location. Just bought a unit here for around RM530 per sqft. Affordable owners from Tower B cannot access Tower A. Different contractor from the Clovers. Nice facilities. Only downside is tandem parking for 1246 sqft units. Cannot complain much d la.

Anyone who are interested to sell/rent (long term) of their extra parking lot, please let me know. 014-3285685. Tq.

When this project will be completed?

Just wonder.. Does anyone concern about the airplane sound? Should be quite loud over there.. Everyday & night..

How is the progress of project? How’s quality & finishing?
Hopefully we can receive house soon with tip top condition. Is the door entrance sharing together with affordable house unit?
That’s another back door next of bay residence.

@mimi
Those pay almost 1M for this project i afraid no seaview in future due to reclaimed land & proposed service residence about 150 units in front of Quaywest.

@QW

Can share the masterplan on this 150units in front of QW. Will it be blocking Tower A or B. Thanks

-CH

@QW

Can share the masterplan on this 150units in front of QW. Will it be blocking Tower A or B. Thanks

@Future

@QW
Don’t think master plan can tell everything here. Overall master plan still may change depend on developer finalized.
Nobody going to know if seaview blocked or not by future developement. Nobody can guarantee on that. But 1 thing very sure is Block B will block by future building & definately reclaimed land to be done in front of QW now. Those bought higher floor shouldn’t be any concern. In fact seaview is not a main selling point for QW.. Some facing tropicana bay/River side. No surpised if lower floor block by future development. Let’s see how in future as most of seaview condo not guarantee to have permanent seafront/seaview too.

@Sea

Thanks for the comments. gold coast and putra marine still offers the best seaview if like bayan baru area. But its leasehold, and the design are a little dated. QW design nicer. Hopefully the quality is much better

@Future
Yes. No doubt about seaview in Putra Marina/Gold coast & maybe new queens waterfront new addition. I don’t think any reclaimed land will be done in near future for this area. However, QW give a spacious layout & lower price if to compare to those. And probably no balcony for smaller unit but anyhow we have planter box to get good view. Most of QW buyers don’t think to have a good seaview but at least they got a bigger space unit. Infront of QW may have reclaimed land in future or building so seaview just optional. Bays residence also same if you buy because of seaview then good luck.

Some facts : your so-called property with best seaview at Gold Coast & Putra Marine are fetching an average RM1.60 psf (Putra marine furnished) and RM1.40psf (Gold Coast furnished) of rental. That’s pretty pathetic. Some affordable condos are even doing better than that!! Looks like QW will definitely sink, given the price you guys actually paid for it.

@koyak
QW is different as it is a freehold residence comes with better facilities & private lift. If QW is sink then how about Queens waterfront? Even worst? Which affordable condo is doing better? Please share us. We want to know.

@Cantik
I think tenants don’t care whether the property is leasehold or freehold. What they care is their own budget vs rental, and property condition and environment.

@IQI
Correct. That’s why no problem for QW as this is a new project & condition & environment definitely much better than older condo surrounding. Rental in QW will be higher as we want a quality tenant not a chapalang tenants.

I think its better to stay at QW than to rent it out. I would prefer a larger unit since WFH will be the trend going forward. Facility wise, I think the infinity sky pool will be the star of the show, if it is well executed. Anyway rental returns for any residential property in Penang is not attractive, its more for the capital appreciation, if anyone wants to invest in property here in Penang. The other is the maintenance of the property, how well it will be maintained to retain or appreciate its value.

@Leader
In this slow market oversupply with so so many properties, you never get to choose tenants, only tenants get to choose you. Here in QW got 1200++ units, and with most owners are investors, it is almost certain that rentals will be very very low due to competition between owners, and those normal units will be drag down by some 200++ affordable housing units in there. One word to describe it – bloodbath. So before you get your key and reality kick in, just pretend everything will be ok and shiok sendiri first lah. Hahahahaha…..

@Jane
If that’s case, then definitely Zen6 & Queens in deep trouble.
QW all comes with much spacious unit & if rental able to get 2k+ consider reasonable already. Own stay has to problem.

@Leader
Yes, you are right, Queens and Z6 will all have problem getting a rental that will justify the high price. It is unavoidable as there are simply far too many rental units looking for tenants, far far exceed the number of tenants available. So owners will either have to leave their units empty, or fight it out with your neighbors which will result in ridiculous low rentals. The root cause of this problem is very simple, there is just far too many houses in the market than needed.

@Jane
Anyhow, if for own stay then QW is the best as spacious & pure residential compare to Queens &Zen6.

@Leader
For own stay, different people have different preference. Some want seaview, some dont fancy seaview, some want low dense, some like near mall, some dont like near mall, different people different likings, there is definitely no “one size fit all”. But most imporatantly, dont buy for investment or flipping, the house market in PG will be sick for many years to come.

QW is spacious, near to mall, seaview & non seaview also available & consider low density around 650+ units as seperate tower A& B.
Good for ownstay. If price psf compare to freehold project actually consider still low & competitive in secondary market. Queens residence i believe in secondary market already dead as too high price. Zen6 is next to affordable house so neeedless to mention in secondary market & high density.

@Leader
650+ units per block is not “low density” at all, in fact that’s high density. With A+B of total of 1200++ units, that’s very very dense actually.

@soon
Don’t forget QW actually seperate in 2 towers & good privacy compared to all new condo nearby as it comes with private lift. Your access directed to your own unit. That’s the best from QW. Zen6 shared a same layout as affordable & QR high unit per floor even though lesser unit overall but no privacy. QW is purely residential without commercial lot activities.

@soon
If you mentioned about QW tower A+B total 1200+ units. Tower A & B are non accessible & not sharing facilities each other too.
How about Zen6 +affordable? (750+1200=1950++?)
How about QR? (2000+ units?)

@Leader

I think QW is at mid range in-terms of density. It sits on 7.4 acres with 1200+ units which is about close to let say tamarind at 1104 on 7 acres. Low density condo will be like the light collection which are more towards the more expensive projects. Lower density also comes with higher maintenance, all this contributes towards the cost. QW does hits the spot for the group of locals that like the location/convenience and at the same time being not super expensive for bigger unit size. Seaview is also a plus if you can get one. Its more for the upper working class who works in bayan lepas and who doesnt want to waste a lot of time on the road in traffic jams, hopefully …..

@Future
I agree to you. Queensbay bayan mutiara is the only residential area near seaside in southern region of Penang & limited. QW still consider affordable for most of professional workers specially those from FTZ. It’s important bigger space for local family like us. Queens is luxury type but smaller size & over price.

For highrise development, those having less than 30 units per acres is recognized as ”low density” others are not.

And remember, there is no permanent ‘sea view’ or ‘seaside’ property for us.
[Could u found the word “seaview’ or ‘seaside’ in your SPA?…….No]

@Ee 2022
If that’s cases then Setia V & Gurney 8 also not low density condo.
Not mentioned in SPA but all buyers are paying higher price due to better viewing. Even you have freehold title infuture if government need your condo land for development then you have to move also.
Nothing is permanent including your land title mention in SPA or what. Haha..

@ Leader

I believe FH will command a better price than leasehold, just from the fact that there is a shelf life on the leasehold and none for the FH. If the govt or private developer needs the land for development, its a good thing, the compensation will be based on the remaining years left for the leasehold, but for FH it will likely be paid full market price. Maintenance of the property is very important, if its maintained well, the price of the property will eventually appreciate, but if left to ruins, whether its leasehold or FH, both will face price depreciation, unless the land is bought over for redevelopment.

QW should be Asia Green’s flagship condo. Let’s see how this will turn out.

The color is of the condo dark gray. I thought the showroom is white. Traffic wise, not too bad, but need to turn into LCE highway to go to Queensbay, was wondering if you come from georgetown, dont know if there is a through road from the entrance into bay residence to bayan indah. Tower B pool looks small and apartments looks little congested. Not sure about Tower A, but I think should be better based on the facilities and the community space allocated. The balcony glass railing looks a little thin, not sure if its safe to lean on it or not.

@Future
Yes. The building look darker & unit to plot ratio also higher for QW actually. Developer trying to preserve residents privacy by private lift. Accessibility for this project not too bad & traffic flow no doubt will be little bit heavy as most of traffic got to pass through here in order exit to highway. We shouldn’t call that as balcony in most of QW unit except those really highend acing seaview only come with a proper 4 fts balcony. Others all are consider as planter box which only 2ft extra front with glass template. Those who bigger body size won’t be able to walk through it. It’s not a balcony. Each living room door can open & let you feel extra of balcony feeling but actual is just a planter box but we have internal bigger space. Just 2 ft or 1 ft only planter box.

@Max
We can see this concept now in some of latest project with open concept living room where no balcony but developer may put some glass template or maybe just a grilled steel to let you feel like in balcony. In mezzo skyville also.. Understood that for some buyer mentioned balcony is optional however if a condo with balcony is a + point. It’s depending on individual. Personally thought Asia green did well in putting a glass template which at least more better Skyville as worry on safety issue. Quaywest got 2 ft planter box is better than non.

@Max

I hope the glass panel is sturdy, for family with children, kids might play and knock onto these glass panels, and its definitely a safety concern if its not strong. If it is, I think the design definitely better than the metal railing with no planters I see on other projects.

@Future
Yup. As of now it’s much better compare to just a metal railing.
But i have a same thought here… Why they paint in dark grey…
Hopefully that’s some spot light to bright up the building.. Smaller tower will CCC soon.

@Max

Dark grey tend to hide defects and stains. Not sure if that’s the reason. But dark colored walls followed by lots of wood color elements will make the place look good. So I’m not sure if the developer has that in mind.

2013 TILL 2022… 9 years passed, & developer still unable to handle key to owners. Super slow project

@Chung
This is one of the worst project in this Queensbay area.
Condo divided into 2 block. One block come with smaller unit 300k/400k & even before release for booking already taken up by those developee themself or relatives. Super high density same alike Tropicana bay in a small piece of land. Entrance in & out sharing with affordable.And most of unit come with non seaview instead facing to smelly river & tropicana bay. And model in showroom with building painted colour of white. Now actual building in dark grey. Build for so many years and still yet completed. LED display lighting is nice design but however, get prepare for more expenses charge in owners bills and well maintained will be a problem.

@Hao Siao Project
Hao siao or not, everyone can find out for themselves soon after obtaining CCC. Go in and have a look loh. For any project delivery delays, buyers can always claim for LAD (liquidated ascertained damages) from developer, this is straight forward. For those buying resale, don’t forget to ask for a big discount from seller as their “actual” purchasing price should be much lower than what’s shown in SnP after deducting LAD. Final word of advice, buy only if you need a place to stay, PG properties are not worth investing anymore.

@Hao Siao Project
Worst project handle by worst developer… claim as a “good reputation” developer after beli anugerah, just like getting a DATO from a state…

@Thomas Chuah
This is one of the best development in Bayan mutiara. The bigger unit size with private lift deliver much better if to look at queens waterfront or summerton. I believed this is the best investment in this area. Spacious yet privacy with LED display really boost up great addition in this area. The facilities going to be awesome as root top garden swimming pool with unblock seaview.

@Thomas Chuah
This project is a seafront award project. And in fact it’s one of the best project development in this area. Developer did very very well in design/finishing/quality/facilities & super view. Qlassic going to be the highest. Once done CCC, you can come & invite then only comment.

Wow, looks like quite obvious developer staffs come and comment

@jack
Not really. I don’t think developer will make this type of joke. Probably the buyer or investor. But overall, quaywest not too bad if for ownstay. I will stay away if look for investment as too high density..

@HongKew
Whether high dense or low, PG properties are not good for investment anymore as there is still a huge supply in the pipeline due to screwed up state gov housing policy. If buy for own stay then maybe ok lah, but the smartest would be to rent as rental is pathetically low.

Smelly river nearby
+
Seaview will be blocked by future development
+
A large floating mosque will be build nearby and providing free alarm service 5 times per day
+
Electrical compliance easily get rusty due to seafront
+
Insufficient parking lots

Hurray!!! 5 Stars project!!!

I have been comparing QR and QW, it’s clear by now which developer has better taste judging from the buildings’ facade. I can’t say that it’s unexpected based on Ideal’s past projects.

QR’s selling points are essentially seaview and accessibility to qb mall/shops. It has the same smell as QW during low tide, is built on reclaimed land and directly under flight path. Smaller, higher psf units are usually targeted at investors but Penang’s rental yield will not be able to cover the high instalment unless Airbnb is allowed.

For own stay, QW makes much more sense; close enough to the sea and shops, more privacy, more space and I love the classy marble design. No price for guessing which one I finally chose for my family of 4.

@Mrs+Chan
Great. QuayWest is definitely a better to stay & investment too.
Some people mention smelly river & cons multiple or floating mosque but it’s definitely better as QWest bigger space for family & privacy. It’s more than just a 5 start project. Let’s wait after CCC if all buyers happy with house received. That is a great project no surprise that’s some people jealous. Hurray!

@Thomas Chuah
Queens R will have a same fate.

Smelly during low tide

Seaview blocked by Jerejak Island

Floating Ferry at seaside & no people visit.

House in risk as under reclaimed land

Insufficient space unit as less spacious compare to Quaywest.

And outlook layout like affordable house.

Quaywest lobby absolutely stunning compared to Queens.
Simply world class facilities…

HongKew :
@jack

You are right, looks like many got the stale fish, try to goreng as much as possible to sell their fried fish

@Thomas Chuah
That’s no perfect project brother. As of now, i can safely say this is a good project for family stay as units are spacious/windy & nearby all amenities. For future, nobody can predict what’s going to happen. Even you have a million condo or banglo house, who knows future that’s a reclaimed land or another condo to build infront of your house entrance. Smarter people will look for now & enjoy rather than future or future.

@Thomas Chuah

There will always be something to complain about in every project, the key thing is whether you can live with it and does the pros exceeds the cons. QW is tilted towards the working locals, good location, bigger units for family, and relatively better traffic flow, easy access to the bridge and bayan lepas industrial area, direct highway to george town without a lot of u turns, etc. The smell that you’re saying I believe is actually the smell of iodine, primarily produced by marine worms and algae. I agree it doesnt smell pleasant if too near the source, but if diffused into the air, it just smells like the natural smell of the sea. So some may not like it, so seaside living may not be for everyone.

@Future

@Thomas Chuah
He just doesn’t like Quaywest project as he mentioned he has million seaside condo as he tried to compare. I saw he always mentioned everywhere about THe Zen cons. Anyway, every property got their pro & cons & different target & market. No high class or low class disclaimer. I agreed that seafront living not suit everyone. Some people prefer countryside & hillside.

Quaywest good for spacious & target family upper class workers. No airbnb allowed.

The Zen target for affordable young buyer & middle lower income group. Hopefully no airbnb for Zen6

Queens W target for retirement people/business person & investor. But no airbnb allowed.

Quaywest is one of the longest residential project to complete in 2022, the project commenced in year 2013 and the previous main contractor was Termasek but changed to other company. Not to mention that the land was bought over from Ivory with commercial title (expect to pay more assessment fee) compared to QR.

With the high density (1,235 units), commercial title and affordable units, the house appreciation for this project is low. Just look at the Clovers built by Asia Green, the price dropped significantly compared to pre-launch price.

@ryu
Absolutely agree with your statement. Watch out on Asean green& contractor used. Low quality & poor furnishing as The clovers. And sharing with affordable smaller unit which come with 1cp only. If you look at Tropicana bay, Quaywest definitely will suffer same fate. High density in a small piece of land & sharing sam guard entrance between tower A &B. The price will depreciate gradually. I wondering how much Qlassic scoring for this project as Waterfront got one of highest in property market. Anyway, LED display at night looks wonderful however owners prepare to pay higher bills consumption later.

Anyone knows when is the CCC for tower A? I want to have a chance to view the infinity pool at the 24 or 25th floor. Having a pool that size on top is not easy.

@Future
The peak/Tri Pinnacle also got swimming pool at top. You can see. So easy & even higher.. Hear will be on July..
Hopefully the funishing will be fantastic & Qlassic scoring 90 of 100 at least because developer using 10 years to build.. Huhu

Thats a proposal already submitted by developer on current jetty and land of convention centre PWC infront of Quaywest.
It’s a highrise about 20 floors. Anyone know when is the launching? Interested on that.

if only you people want to compare QR and QW in density, number wise, technically QW higher density. But QW (1200++ units) and QR (900++ units) basically you won’t feel the difference staying there, as both also high dense. But because QR higher price, so it will be hard time for QR in this over supply market. Very hard time.

@CK

Which developer?

@shin
I don’t think so. If you compare in such a way then definitely QR will be higher density. But keep in mind that Quaywest is allocated in a small piece of land where sharing between 2 different tower (669+566 unit total 1235 units) & yet affordable unit. Don’t forget sharing same entrace in & out also. And how about Tropicana bay behind of Quaywest occupied with 1343 units. I forsee plenty of illegal parking around bay residence & Quaywest as most of affordable house come with 1 carpark. But if you assume all Q1 to Q4 under a same project then consider of high density then is a mistake as QR all seperate individually in facility /entrance in& out & much spacious of land. Q1 500 units seperate in tower A &B.
Q2 even lower density as only 450 units. And surpisingly QR is not tough in selling in subsale market. Still can get plenty buyer for those wish to urgent sell below 900k. And Quaywest also use 10 years to build & selling. Overall got pro & cons. If to own stay for spacious then probably local will go for QW if seaview is not necessary. If Investor or holiday home QR will be more happening.

Recently go to take look QW, QR and Mezzo, still considering which one to go. QW sales very aggressive and pushy to close deal….

@AhPu
Just go for Mezzo if you can wait as new project exactly seafront & next of Penang 1st seafront mall by Singapore based company (Robert Kuok). QW already selling for 10 years & still selling. Still available units. If you need more spacious then go for QW.
QR left 1400sqf & 1650sqf only with 1.5M onwards where plenty of Singapore are buying.

@Future
Tropicana Ivory. 28 storey about 200 units so called luxury.
Quaywest definitely blocked. Anyhow, i don’t think is a good project for newly proposed as under commercial title land & most of time Tropicana ivory gave 1 car park per unit only just pick Bay residence as a good example which very messy & improper plan all illegal parking at road side.

Mezzo is selling at an average of 1000psf, for now I do not think this location is worth that price, moreover you’ll need to make a u turn and fight the traffic coming from the bridge. And maybe you’ll be paying 700-800 per month for maintenance? Low density will come with high maintenance. IJM has only built residential so far and no malls. QW and QR location and accessibility is much better, and the queensbay mall is run by capitaland which is super efficient in selecting reputable and popular tenants. I still prefer the bayan mutiara area. QR will be unblocked while QW is questionable. Pick the 06-09 stack on the left, that will have lower probability of being blocked by future development. QW is more for the upper working class with family in mind.

@AhPu
Imagine this project been sold for 10 years & still available.
What did you expect? Totally fail. Probably not a high demand project neither. And based on past history of developer that’s even worse.

@AhPu
Personally if buying for own stay, I wouldn’t buy Mezzo as the road access (either in or out) is stupid. If you want to stay in that area, try to explore resale units around E-gate (Platino, Bayswater , Vertiq etc), road access makes much more sense there, with all ready amenities, and close proximity to Genting coffeeshops too. Try exploring your options, you’d be pleasantly surprised by some hidden treasures.

@AhPu
But if you are buying for investment, my honest opinion is, don’t. You will surely loose money. Don’t think that just because you hear some sporeans or foreigners buying properties here in PG means you will anyhow make money from properties. More likely than not these foreigners will all end up getting stuck with their investments, and in the end, just use the properties for their own holiday homes. A friend of mine (Sporean) bought a 7000sf bungalow in PG 6 years ago for RM3.5mil, happy like f* as that’s almost like only slightly SGD 1 mil, which can only buy them a 700sf private condo in SG. But sadly, he is still stuck with it until today, couldn’t flip, just idling away. By now, his cost is almost running up to RM4mil. Same fate for many many condo units around Seri Tanjung Pinang, Tanjung Tokong. In conclusion, if you want to join in the FUN of owning some overpriced properties in PG, be my guest, just be ready to burn money.

@James Tee
Thanks James, yeah… mostly will go for mezzo, my woman also prefer mezzo.

I heard the CCC for block B is in June and block A is in july? Its already 90% sold, no one is flipping the units.

@Future
Plenty of unit flipping. Please check. All these houses have no value. Even 400k unit also flipped. And flipped into drain next of it & went to sea.
