What is the price please
Indicative price 700 with 7% rebate. Later cash rebate rm50k upon completion….
Pls share more detail
700sf after rebate?
700psf before rebate. Free s+p n loan legal fees. 615 psf after all the rebate. This offer for early bird booking fee with 20k. Official launch soon…
I just called to Show house office. The sale person told me 800psf and after rebate us 740psf. Where you get 615psf? Curious la..
The early bird offer- 700psf *1400 sf – 7% rebate -50k=615
Now still got this offer or no more?
he early bird offer- 700psf *1400 sf – 7% rebate -50k=615, mathematic very good… become so cheap using this calculation…. instead of RM900k become RM615k bravo bravo…
The early bird offer- 700psf *1400 sf – 7% rebate -50k=615, mathematic very good… become so cheap using this calculation…. instead of RM900k become RM615k bravo bravo…
615 psf * 1400 sf = rm 861,000.
Not 615K lah bro, 615psf for 1400 unit around 861000.
So still can get this price.
?
I don’t see any queue at the BS G office! Hardly anyone was there for the free buffet at the JSAS office on Sun 22/02/15.
This offer no more available. Early bird will get to choose the unit first then follow by the official launch later…
Bsg project hard to buy. Just like their Mira project. Their internal friends all get rm500psft once reach public rm800psft. How to buy?…..
@ABCD
Is 615 psf for early bird, sorry….
Hmm.. like that if no connection cannot buy. Play like that susah.
@buyer
That’s right. I know because my friend bought 3 units of Mira at rm500psft at tg bungah! When I go ask they said its rm800psft.
@Bthunder
Get your facts right la…. it is $800 psf before rebate. Anyway, its only open for registration. So, you cannot book your units yet. And yes, it should work out to $7xx psf after rebate.
Guys, please do your own homework instead of relying on information from portals like these. Don’t be lazy, go to the Galleria along Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah (next to Wawasan U) and get all the information directly from the sales people there.
BSG? Haha, I agree with you Lol. What they did at Mira really turned me off. With such preferential treatment to their internal friends, they are obviously asking those “outsiders” to subsidize the “insiders'” speculative activities. With such blatant disregard for fair trade, why should we give them business?
If it is 615 psf, i think it is a good buy.
Boon Siew is also good in reputation and quality, what i worry is whether we have the chance to get one or not as most of the unit will be sapu by the loyal customer and internal staff just like Mira, i have been to the site and it really looks great (location and design) and i like it so much, is my dream condo indeed but the price is too high now, i so regretted for not grabbing one when first launch.
My advise. Subsales is very wet nowadays. Think first.
Nice location but the Changkat Minden Jalan 1 will be open later straight to Jalan Bukit Gambir, a lot of vehicle will pass by. Will it be noisy?
nowadays only insiders can invest.
@XYZ
800psf is the current price. 700psf is for those registered before CNY….EARLY Bird during end of January
Agreed. Even you manage to get a good price, you will never know the lowest price. When I called in to gallery office, saleman keep telling me 800psf. They ignore my question on the early bird promotion.
@Buyer
Even at RM615psf, I wouldn’t hand them my cheque. Reasons :-
(1) Minden area, no class. It’s not an investment grade area.
(2) BSG business ethics, lousy. They want to make their “insiders” shiok, let them shiok sendiri lah! You go take a drive around their permai landed project and see all those “FOR SALE” sign on most houses, you can then really “shiok”them.
(3) I will urge all of you to boycott buying from BSG, AS WELL AS boycott buying from their flippers!
I know, BSG will sure say “ai lai mai suak”. Sure, you got one mountain pile of money from your grand father mah. Even if you get zero sales from what you build, you can still shake balls and enjoy life. Right?
@rocknroll
Yes agreed. Soon they will realize that their ghost town is not so vibrant anymore. I don’t understand why the double standard. Friends rm500psft. Others: rm800psft. Daylight robbery.
BSG really broke your heart before is it?
Tg tokong tamarind rm580-700psft.
Minded heights: rm800psft.
Go figure. Location and price.
@Cess
No lah, not broke my heart lah. Broken heart is typically used in reference to a state of extreme grief or sorrow, caused by the death of a loved one or the ending of a romantic relationship.
I’m just pissed off with a company with bad business practices..:)
@rocknroll
Almost all major developers has the same marketing strategy, they sell good units to ‘insiders’ first with cheaper price and then officially launch those left over units to the public. So for the public.. take it or leave it.(needless to mention the major developer)
@rocknroll
Erm.. Either you have very high expectations or think of “class” differently mate.
I jog there all the time and you see a lot of well-off middle-age/elderly people exercising.
It would be a bit sad that the quiet road will have more cars in the future.
I just booked a unit! The show house is awesome! Love it.. Happy CNY guys..
@Bo chance
what is the promotion you get?
Around RM750psf after Rebate. Free SPA & Loan. 😀
where is the show house?
wah.. so rich ah.. close to 1mil.
Now million GUI Liao lo
@Lol
How to compare bro? Tamarind 1100 units while Middleton 220 units.. 1100 units is even more than Lmc apartment.. So the PSF diff is reasonable….
why don’t buy Mira? Better design n better location. Mira next year completion but Middleton in 2019!
Seriously, what is missing in the property market nowadays are those from the range of RM500K to RM750K, with decent size of 1,000 to 1,300 sq. ft. unless you go mainland. How to do that when you work on the island?
@CMY
Tamarind fits your budget. If not, go for secondary market.
@CMY
They have gov affordable housing coming up. Price range is RM300k-RM400k.
@DiDi
Not qualified anymore.
@melanie
You didn’t see the comments above?
Units all sold out, Price so expensive despite high density. I think I will go for rentals……
If you Itchy and wanna taste “Chili” then welcome and invest. I don’t see any great potential upside for condo pricing above RM750K and above.
rocknroll and Lol, I support you both on BSG. SIPEK damn “Cha” and usually the insider sapu everything then only started to sell to outsider. Pity those who genuine buyer.
I have a experienced before with BSG at Taman Bagan 2 storey project. I approach BSG office in year 2013, and the sales person said there is a unit for sales, selling me at RM680K when the actual price was RM300+ (I found out later). Luckily I did my research and site inspection saw some of the new 2 storey front porch sunk. That really turn me off and later also found that if I ever buy that time @ I will become the water Fish.
BSG sales person also damn lansi. I went over few times to their booth at QMall. They just buat dunno.
Now Let them syiok sendiri la…..Kawan-Kawan market outside is not that good la. You want to hear the truth…all sectors are quite bad la. Maxis, Fairchild, IBM, GSK, MERCK all retrench and downsizing….
The choice is yours….Lu U LUI, Beli la. LU Boh Lui, Ingat mau syiok syiok easy money, nanti bakar backside don’t complain lo.
@CMY
You may try Setia sky vista.
PSF ~RM 560, for 1100 sqft ~ RM 650K.
@CMY
I managed to get Tamarind at around $700k mid floor. My uncle who went few days later paid $770k for high floor (unit returned by someone). Yes high density. But if not, you think E&O will sell you at this price for Seri Tanjung Pinang location. In every project, there will bound to be pros and cons. If affordability is not an issue, I would buy Andaman. Haha
@Buen camino
Bro location for tamarind wins already. High or low dense. Most importantly is location, quality and pricing. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be 95% sold in just 1 week. Go figure.
@Buen camino
Besides u don’t have to deal with insider pricing. Open market. Everyone get same discounts and rebates. Even Bumi gets same package. Fair for everyone. That’s why I like tamarind.
There must be a reason it picks the name BSG – Le Bull Shit Group!
few year ago when BSG sell their Raffel Tower also play dirty tricks (insider get way cheaper price, outsider buy much later n much much much expensive).
Now they repeat the same tricks on this Middleton…..BSG oh BSG…. newer grow up, n will never get more loyal supporter like SP Setia / Ecoworld.
haiya.. buy ecoworld projects la you wont regret.. like eco botanic, 1st project by ecoworld in jb. now already got paper gained at least 50% of my cluster unit. Not yet completion. worth buying la. more transparent and reputation. Got Tan Sri Liew behind, the brand that i trusted.
rm 691 per sq ft (before rebate)….
just wonder Bthunder get to buy the property as he mentioned in 23rd february 2015.
As the name of our domain name suggests, we are determined to provide you a space to discuss anything about Penang properties……..
anyway, has decided to get back my booking fee of rm20k…..just hope that can get back the money smoothly…. one experience is enough……
just want to share my experience …..
i am the so-called early bird. I paid my booking fee of rm20,000 to messrs xxxx on 13.12.2014. the information i got at that time is as below:
middleton condo at minden height.
comprises 2 blocks of 26-storey skyscrapers with 220 residential units, each 1400 sq ft ( not 1409 sq ft or 1458 sq ft). the lowest 4 floors are carpark. residential from 6th floor onwards.
1. the property is sold at rm691 per sq ft (before rebate). every level higher from the 6th floor has to pay extra rm4000.
2. 7% rebate from the purchase price
3. BSG will pay back extra rm50,000 for purchaser (equivalent as DIBS)
4. free stamping duty
5. free legal fee for both S&P and bank loan agreements
6. two car parks
7. early bird to choose the unit in february 2015
This tuesday (14.04.2015) a call from ms xxxxx and we met today. To my surprise, the conditions have change. She quoted me a unit at 18th floor (B-18-03A), 1458 sq ft (apparently the extra 58sq feet is balcony). The purchase price is RM 1,259,000 (rm 863 per sq ft). 7% rebate is rm 88,130. BSG will pay me rm50,000 on vacant possesion. So, the total i need to pay is rm 1120,870. it come to rm 769 per sq ft.
in december 2014, 1400 sq ft, rm 691 per sq ft, 7% rebate, rm50k DIBS……
anyone has the same experience with me?
@lehubeng already cancelled my booking, you know why….
@bthunder
yeah, today i know… i wrote a detailed story on it, but penang property talk has moderated and deleted it….bsg give me a unit ar 18th floor and quote me rm1,259,000. more than rm 860 per sq ft now. totally different from initially promised.
Hi, u got the good facing units?
Wow, they include the cash for DIBS,legal free, free car parks and stamp duty which are free for you into the price. Wow! It’s expensive!
@Curious
here is a good platform for buyers to get the information and share their experiences. at least the buyers get to know that which developers like to play dirty trick and not trustworthy.
Bro LehuBeng,
Its unfortunate to hear your sour experience with BSG. I have wrote before about experience with this BSG. ANd my personal experience with them are negative too. I wrote before in the Taman Bagan-BSG project.
As a consumer, you have the right not to deal with Hanky-Panky developer.
For me, I wouldn’t deal nor purchase anything from BSG.
With the current situation, seriously there is no need to be in a rush to buy property unless you want to get married etc.
Malaysia economy is not really that promising off late, the GST, weak currency, retrenchment here and there. You see also you know…..
“If you want Peace, Be Prepared for War,
If you want to be Richer, Get your Warchest Ready”
Warchest = Money la/ not Machine Gun ok…lol
As a buying, you can ask for the reason from their manager right?@lehubeng
@Curious
i asked. but she denied. and i do not really have black and white on her initial promise. this is a good lesson for me.
except for some writings on a blank paper without any signature.
@micheal
tq for the advice. very much agreed with you.
@lehubeng
Ops… You should Hv ask them to email u.
@Curious
yeah, a lesson. but u see, XYZ wrote to Btunder on 24th February that is RM800 before rebate. and this quotation was supposed he get it personally during CNY at galleria at Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah. now, for my unit, the developer increased it to more than rm860 per sq ft before rebate despite i paid booking fee in december 2014. how will you judge this developer? still micheal advice is right…customer is waterfish …lol
Dear lehubeng
Sorry to hear about your predicament. The $800 psf that I quoted was based on forecast selling price. I was informed by the salesman that $800 was the preliminary price. Maybe you were not informed properly.
By the way, you mentioned that your unit was on the 18th floor. so, every additional floor means additional $$$. In fact different unit on the same floor also got different pricing! A stupid pool view from the drying area also got to pay extra $10K!
Hope you will be more the wiser next time round.
PS. I couldn’t get 18th floor even though I went to choose my unit earlier than you because they told me it had already been reserved for VVIPs.
Wah….BSG is so dirty one ah? Always thought they have integrity
@lehubeng
If I were you I will not buy because I will leave all the units to their VVIPs
to buy !!!!!!! Anyway to me that area is too deep inside and I wouldn’t pay
such amount for it.
have sent back the letter of cancellation provided on 24 april…….april 24 till 9 may….. still no reply when can get back my rm 20k….
@lehubeng
Cannot get back your deposit, mah buy the unit lor. Why doh wan to buy sommo go and pay deposit ler?
have sent back the letter of cancellation provided on 24 april…….april 24 till 11 may….. still no reply when can get back my rm 20k….

Interested to know more about Middleton? Please directly contact Darold @ 016-4932520 / daroldtan@gmail.com
Yesterday i check the price.
The price start from RM1.1 million onward
I worked for developer as sale n marketing manager, Vvip/associate or staffs get cheaper price is a common practice in this industry but most of the time the management release those units for so called “internal purchaser” are limit to certain type/facing/view or block which is slightly not as good as walked in purchaser units.
If buy for own stay then YES but not for investment/flip. But to be honest if own stay or investment I rather go for Raffel Tower even is sub sale market now.
For those never visit Raffel Tower is a worth condo to visit, trust me. Good for own stay or long term investment. 5 stars furnished and price fr RM 8xxk, many for sale listing/units, just call any agent arrange for viewing, u can’t find any similar or better condo around that area.
I did visit mira residence too but furnished not as gud as raffel tower hopefully Middleton can provide better furnish cuz is more expensive that raffel tower.
P/s. Don’t compare w high density condo with raffel / Middleton or mira. Totally tag for different market and different category house buyer’s.
I thought developer usually leave the good units for their friends, and the bad ones for outsiders?
Not really. E.g. mira residence, tower a mostly is for walked in purchaser. Blk b open for associate, hill view, near to indah water plant and corner/intermediate view block by tower a.
What I can said is every developer got their own marketing strategy and kungfu.
@right property
your advise helps.
thanks.
Info needed for middleton, What is the price psf? Still have available unit?
almost sold out. for 220 millionaires to stay
Ideal Property sucks!!!!
How is this condo?anyone buy?
spoke to the bangla working there, he claims that he hasnt seen any project with so much metal used for the base of any condo. materials used are of better quality.
but quality at a price. contemplating to buy slightly better quality by bsg or quantity by other developer…..
any advice people?
@tan bb
What metal are you talking about? If you are talking about the rebars used in reinforced concrete, then its not as simple as just putting more rebars the better, as the bangla told you. The rebars need to be placed at a certain spacing, too near or too far between each other will reduce the strength of the reinforced concrete. I suggest talking to an engineer to get a clearer picture of the quality of a construction rather than some random worker at the site. ;p
OC obtained! going to get keys soon.
