Is there any in house contractor involved in renovation in the future or do we hv to pay ‘sampah fee’ if we get our own contractor to do renovation???

Looks like Ideal has made a lot of ppl traumatized…

All projects are going to fail in Batu Kawan.

batu kawan here you go…..

@Island

Why do you say that?

When will b t launching ?

Can email or whatapp me more detail

looking forward to a growing Batu Kawan township … and faster completion of IKEA Penang!

@ 350psf, it’s going to be affordable but not cheap…

Interested!

selling fast…

i am intersted in this project, can send me more info ?

When launch the project for sale? can share out the info ?

@aspen
Already started selling. Just pick your preferred unit and bring a cheque to pay the 10% downpayment. 40% have been sold and price gonna increase come this CNY soft launch.

@Real Aspen
Thanks ! maybe will hv a look at AG gallery at georgetown penang.

Please increase the price as you like as nobody will buy at this
Batu Kawan.

40% of 1200+ unit sold, wow… that’s amazing even without firm date IKEA construction will begin…

is there any show unit at batu kawan for viewing? pls update more info abt the type C or D n the availability..tq.

@Real Aspen
Any rebate available?

For those still not aware, IKEA already break ground to begin constructions with CM Lim – http://www.theedgeproperty.com.my/tags/aspen-vision-city . As for Aspen, already started works on phase 1. I think Vertu is the only residential property surrounded by commercial units so far. The main issue is, it’s not in Penang Island.

Can anyone guess why IKEA choose not to open on Island and go to mainland instead?

aspen group is consider a new developer in penang base… ikea is one of thier selling point to promote thier reputation..aspen vision city is one of thier 1st big project of course need a big land to run thier show…maybe thats they choose batu kawan… vertu look nice!

What is their completed project so far? That’s we can see the company prospects…..

I’m ready to buy. Can the developer leave your phone number or email address here so that I can contact you to make the purchase?

Is there any contact details? Any show unit around?

Just contacted Aspen Group, type C starts at the price of 436k(i think a unit 10th floor onwards will cost roughly 450k) , do you all think it’s a good deal?

@Powersoul
They give any rebate? Need to prepare 10% cash for the booking?

People buy it for “speculation” rather for investment…

anyone knows the price and details for type D? highly interested…

@Edi
i’m not sure about the rebate, since i’m not sure if this is a good deal (don’t want to ask much cause not sure want to buy it or not, haha), but you can call their sales to confirm on that, 1300 300 5000, and let me know if there is rebate for it 😛

As a Batu Kawan resident, I’m excited about this project. This one seems like a Penang Island level kind of condo development. I just checked out the developer’s Facebook page. It seems they’re putting a lot of focus on this particular project, with a really cool promotional video thrown in. Check it out. It’s nothing like the usual kind of video advertisement.

https://www.facebook.com/myaspengroup/videos/vb.206339582902591/477984332404780/?type=2&theater

like it very much. center hub of new township. got my unit booked. feel great!

@islander

Yes, it always feels great when you place that booking for a property. You will find all the reasons to buy, and choose to ignore the bad side of it. No matter what, you will start to visualize how nice the place will be when completed and how the property will appreciate then. That’s fantasy. A lot of buyers have been living in that fantasy in the last few years. Now, they are finding the REALITY very cruel, it’s not looking good. It will get worse in fact. I’d say you have made the WRONG investment. It’s a great place, but you have placed your bet in the wrong item. God bless you.

@islander
what’s the deal? 10% down payment?

Yes. 10% down payment.

I heard need to pay 10% when do the booking.
And 10% are not refundable even your housing loan not approve, for those who booked, is this correct? Need confirmation from those who booked, please….

@islander
which type you booked? I just went to the site yesterday and still nothing going on…

Type A

Only for serious buyer. 10% not refundable. But will keep in your membership account
you can use to purchase others project s from AG.

at 10%, we need to dump RM40k wait for few years…
what do they call the 10% “fund”? a bit risky ler…

@islander
do you know what is the thing there at the top left of the building E? refer pic 17…

@islander,
Thanks for your into.
Which block you booked? Facing to which side?

Is IKEA moving out or remain in this project?

Newspaper state the price from 390K onwards but go to the sales office 460K onwards? Please don’t publish something that can mislead people.

http://www.kwongwah.com.my/?p=90421

@Islander
Any rebate they offer? What bank u apply for the loan? Apdl approved?

potentially really good investment but with too many red flags after some research… tempted but I will skip for now..

@Edi
I have not apply loan yet. At the smae time, AG is getting better rate from panels. They said shall inform in April. Btw, I already pre- assess with my banker. Just wait what come up from AG. Do you book your unit?

There is one special promotion during this CNY, which call “Ang Pow” RM888, which just until today (Chap Goh Mei). And another one is RM3k rebate during 2nd state payment.
Free some furnisher (depends on which unit), RM5k IKEA voucher…etc

@Mas240
Ang Pow RM888 is deducted from the downpayment?

@cay
Mind to elaborate more what is the red flags? Tq so much

@Edi
just my humble opinions la. The economy outlooks, the established residential areas nearby and its value and pricing history, the demographic factors etc. For the current asking price of Vertu, it’s a very good investment (or speculations) if and only if everything turns out great, not just fine. Too many factors can derail the grand plan. And there are many developing projects yet to be announced so I prefer wait and see now.

It seems to me that there are too many units. Too packed.
Will it be earthquake safe? Last night, it was reported that a mild earthquake detected at Tasik Kenyir…

This project makes Batu Kawan expensive… similarly Eco World makes Simpang Ampat expensive… both sites are formerly inexpensive area. Wow, they help to close the pricing gap of island & mainland… just curious about actual buyers response…

Just go and see the aspen vision city site. Currently no Vertu show unit yet but they build a building almost finished look like aspen show office something. Along the aspen vision city site see alot of their advertisement picture like shopping mall, ikea, hotel, columbia asia hospital, 25aces central park, international school, office tower… Aspen put a lot of afford on it !

Looking for 1 unit. Any advice which block is better feng sui (view)?

@Ahuat
block A most southern unit or block C most western unit

Any idea when ikea will start and complete?

buyer should go round around batu kawan. Rm450k better invest in Bukit Mertajam…

@seng
Any recommendation in bukit mertajam?

Interested either hh residence or vertu Resort. Pls contact me 0124548486

Sorry, im interested to buy not sell

I am interested, considering the location.
But have not made up my mind yet…are the blocks facing pool too close to each other? Anyone knows the distance in between? Who should I target to rent to?

Thanks.

hi @islander, congrats.
Mind to share which block that you booked?
I am considering block B, partially facing pool.
Thanks@islander

Hi venus, I have block B. Welcome to block B

@Edi

In fact, good location condo in BM also left with bumi unit or big size unit (2000sqf or above), I myself purchase BM one called Berjaya Condo 绿景轩，same developer is now building Exo City at Juru Sentral. I enquiried them on Exo Residence before CNY and was told already fully sell out except big unit with size nearly 2000sqf…Else, can consider Exo City’s Exo Residence Condo if you buy for investment, easy access to high way or Penang bridge, as well as famous school like Jit Sin and amenity.e.g.Banks, Restaurants …Bcoz near to Icon City and Auto City

I booked block B, facing central island park

@Edi,
when you book? and which level your booked?
Oh ya, when the central island park will start build?

think if wanna know which unit facing good feng sui better go to the site feel yourself…maybe 3 times a day morning afternoon evening …but becareful currently a lot of construction going on there and lorry as well

When IKEA, Vervea and Vertu Resort will be completed?

Such a high demand of condos with total 18 blocks in Batu Kawan ?

@tonyho what are the other projects you referring to?

18 blocks? ? Wa… booming area. Please provide more info.

18 blocks wah.
later, can it becomes like rifle range flat in penang island.

they factor in future pricing… not today pricing…

Ahuat :
18 blocks? ? Wa… booming area. Please provide more info.

Yes, booming with mosquitoes in this area.

@jame can’t agree more… Exactly what I tot… bottom line is its still a vast empty land there at the moment

Signed S & P last week and was told expected to be stamped around August onwards.

One man’s meat is another man’s poison…you decide…lol

Dear All Genuine Vertu Resort Buyer,

I am setting up a Watsapp group chat for only Genuine Vertu Resort Buyers only. In this group, we will share latest update/status for this project, development news in Bt. Kawan, and any information that you’d like to share with the team.

If you would like to be member of this group, please kindly send your:

1.) proof of purchase (snap shot of your booking receipt/SPA page that show your name and unit number)
2.) Your mobile number

to verturesort@gmail.com

Thank you.

@catch22
I signed on Saturday !

Signed 2 weeks ago

How’s the unit price between Feb and March?
Any different?

Hoo.. hoo.. ikea confirmed.

today ikea confirmed fully set up by 3Q 2018..2 years to go.. vertu owners can use the voucher to shop at ikea ….

@iancyteo

Can I join? I’m a buyer but also a staff of the company. I’ll like to be in the group as I can provide info that is more accurate that speculative rumours that are flying around and if there are any issues, I could at least feedback to the company to improve

@Buyer
Hi buyer, since your are staff, can you please confirm work “really” started at its 24-acre Batu Kawan site as reported in the mainstream media?

Thanking you in advance.

for renovations, kindly contact me at spammenotspam@gmail.com ~ we provide worry free renovations and id design

Ikea confirmation is a booster for AVC. Let’s not forget, it is one of the catalyst (not the only one) AVC is all about…

@catch22

Yes. Work have started. Firstly, you have to understand the condition of the land at site. This used to be an agriculture land (palm oil plantation), hence the soil is wet and below road level for irrigation purposes.

Earthwork have started and the process to properly raise the land level requires a number of steps. We are not just simply dumping soil/sand at site to avoid sinking of land in the future. Hence, precautionary measures is being made. This process will take about 1 year to 18 months.

However, simultaneously, other authorities related process are on a go. This again will take some time.

If all goes well, foundation will start in about 1 year’s time. IKEA like most other hypermarkets is a “shoe-box” structure and construction will take 12 – 18 months to complete. So if all goes according to plan, all should be completed and operational by mid – end 2018.

@catch22,
what is AVC?
So IKEA estimate when will complete?

thanks “buyer” for your explanation good to know, that why i see the site land level are high compare to bandar cassia road..hope you can share more info about development here…

@Buyer
what is the current typeD lowest asking?

@Buyer
Thank you for sharing. Nice.

@Mas240
AVC = Aspen Vision City

Ikea expected to be ready by mid to end 2018… expected only ya…

This is one of the worst condo in mainland..

lai lai sapu sapu .. Boom boom Mindland lol.

What if we sign snp now but loan reject later? when can apply loan?

@Buyer
Yes. You are welcome. As long as you are owner, even you are agent/contractor, you are welcome to join the group.

I believe owner will do the best to protect the interest of own property.

Please kindly send your proof of purchase and contact no. to verturesort@gmail.com for verification.

If I will to invest either to sell or rent, which block should I select?

Hi,

Are you official from Aspen or buyer?

请问哪里可以知道详细资料呢?
比如 价钱 构造 等等..
因为我爸想要买..
可是是第一次,所以不知如何下手 ><

@Kelly khoo

You go to QB and they have exhibition over there.

I’m buyer of Block B. So far noticed block B and C selling fast. In overall, the project is almost 40% sold. If to ask me, with rm380 psf is a bit pricey over there. But from the sales progress, can see people is able to accept this pricing at Batu Kawan?

@Kelly khoo

妳可打电话去Aspen Group问问。

@Eric
@打电话
谢谢..
我今天陪父母去QB看了…
也买了block B..
里面还有包括一些装修和电器等..
还有就是有rebate 3K 和 Ikea 5K voucher

@Kelly khoo

好! 买了就好！

congratulations to all the buyers… Aspen Vision City & Batu Kawan development very much need your support to be successful & sustainable…

What is the fuss about IKEA, selling low quality furniture or ok quality at not so special price. Are you going to shop for furniture every month? I will only buy IKEA stuff to put in a house intend to be rent out, not for own use. Going further gets you a landed property instead of a condo in mainland.

@Eric

We are buyer of Vertu Resort.

Thanks for letting me join. I will scan the necessary evidence of purchase to you as soon as I have time. Hopefully, I will be able to provide more information that can boost confidence in the group chat.

Hi YeapyEvo, look at the big picture and not IKEA itself. We know nobody goes shopping for furniture everyday. However, IKEA is a commercial booster and traffic magnet. Where it goes, the development at the area speeds up substantially bringing various other amenities and conveniences. Look at Damansara, The Curve came in after IKEA is completed and property prices surrounding IKEA Damansara appreciates substantially. Same thing happened to Cheras. I’m saying that property prices will increase to be the same as in KL, but if it will appreciate half-way, all initial investors would have made a return of at least twice the amount of annual FD in banks. Besides, most investors are looking at the prospect to rent out the property. KDU is just next door …

@Buyer
Yes… We are pleased to have you joining us.

Over 1k unit, KDU gt so much student? buy 400k sell 500k later? gt buyer? 450k already can gt semi d at that area, all pakai hentam buy saja without do any homework gg lah

To all vertu resort buyer, do you guy know whether there is any low cost flat built nearby Vertu Resort Condo or somewhere near that area? i believe AG have to meet requirement to build LC as part compensation to build this high dens Vertu condo

Hi Lol, please visit http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/rhb/48951.jsp. KDU will have a campus size of 5,000.

However, again look at the bigger picture. Rental opportunities is not limited to KDU alone. There will be a medical centre next door (Columbia Asia), you can rent to nurses, doctors or medical staff. There is also the Financial Hub. I’m sure there will be employees in the Vervea shop lots. IKEA will employ more than 500 staff including middle & high management. I wonder how many employees are there in the factories/industrial park? There is also the Design Village (premium outlet store) which will complete end of this year.

Even if only 10% of the total employment in Bandar Cassia looks for a house to rent, Vertu will be fully occupied.

Yes, you can find landed in the area at RM450K … but at 5km distance away. Not walking distance. Vertu is 350m away. Also, these are old properties. You are comparing past & present. Just like old rotten apple’s price against new juicy apples. Anyway, EcoWorld just purchased a land nearby to Aspen Vision City. Let’s see how much their landed will be since their Simpang Ampat 2-storey terraces is selling at RM700K and above.

@vt

No LMC within Aspen Vision City (AVC). Aspen will build all required LMC in other parts of Seberang Perai Selatan. This is allowable under the regulations as long as it is within the same district and before you ask whether there is a mosque in AVC … NO. The nearest mosque will located at PDC’s Affordable Home Hijau e-Komuniti which is about 2km away.

@Buyer

It will takes many many many years for Batu Kawan to get on par with Damansara and Cheras.

Suggest who intends to buy this property go to see the site before buying.

Congratulation. What view and floor you choose?

Buyer there for few reasons:
– Strategic location near 2nd bridge
– Factories nearby
– International school / colleague

Buyer there for few reasons:
– Ikea and commercial hub
– Strategic location near 2nd bridge

– International school / colleague / university nearby

Batu Kawan still have enough landbank for New International Airport or area south of Batu Kawan, west of Nibong Tebal.

Dear All Vertu Resort Buyer,

We have started up a new chat group ONLY for Genuine Vertu Resort Buyers. You can get to know other buyers/future neighbor, share latest update/status for this project, development news in Bt. Kawan, and any information that you’d like to share with the team.

If you would like to join this group, please kindly send us your:
1.) proof of purchase (snap shot of your booking receipt/SPA page that show your name and unit number)
2.) Your mobile number
to verturesort@gmail.com

Thank you.

some mentioned free furniture and electrical appliances, can anyone share the details?

AVC is for visionary investors. This is surely a property you want to put in your portfolio.

@cay, heard that kitchen is fully furnished, master and bedroom 1 wardrobe is furnished, yard kitchen cabinets also furnished. Electrical appliance voucher given for 4 aircond (for type A and B), water heaters, kitchen hob and hood, washing machine and refrigerator.

Plus RM5,000 IKEA voucher to help in completing the remaining furnishing

@Sennh
thanks Sennh,
values around 20k, not bad

Developer should give more cash rebate rather than gifts which are sometimes not to buyer s’ taste.

Latest update from AG stuff. Starting tomorrow price for block C will increase by 10K. CONGRAD to all block C buyers

@Hppy

Any idea what is the reason block C price is increase RM10k? Block A and B no change?

A lot of thoughts have been made on this package. Minimal rebates is given as IKANO who is a partner in this development believes in best-price policy. Complimentary items are given due to this unique partnership with IKEA who is a subsidiary of IKANO. Doubt there are other developers providing so many items at this sort of psf.

Anyway, the loose items such as IKEA furnishing is given in the form of a gift card, so you can buy at your own discretion to your own choice of design and colour or even material.

There is also another reason for the “furnished” strategy. After much brain-storming between ASPEN-IKANO team, the “furnished” packaged will deter rising issues with “gangsters” contractors as when ALL units are furnished, there is no reason for them to set up there. On top of that, cleanliness in the common area can be assured as “wet-works” renovation will be minimal.

We believe the package have benefited most people and the proof is the overwhelming response. Providing rebates would just mean marking-up the price and giving you similar discounts/rebates. This will create social problems due to high speculated pricing.

@Buyer@VertuResort
Not sure the reason. Only blk C increase

I also believe that most buyers are looking to rent their units out, and having the unit semi furnished is actually a big plus point in this case. The additional RM5k IKEA voucher would help to complete the furnishing as well.

once the Aspen office & showhouse completed in batu kawan everything will increase again…
KDU collegue just next to Vertu also started the construction…Vertu good for rental when both Vertu and KDU completed at same time.

Need clarification here. Are all blocks A to E will have the similar electrical vouchers?

@Vertu Fansi
My understanding is yes, but better call the developer to confirm.

Each unit come with 2 cp? How many floor for cp?

Some units come with 1 tandem car park (which can park two cars front and back) and some with 2 side by side car parks, but from what I asked, all units should come with enough space for 2 cars. No idea how many floors for car park.

@Buyer
pls confirm the price hike news

Anyone know distance between 2 opposite building?

1-7 floors is car park..

Hi Buyer, do we need to bear maintenance fee during 6months furnishing installation period?
What material used for balcony? Glass panel or steel barrier?

Hi all, apologise for not replying sooner. Was in a full day meeting.

Yes, price has increased by RM10,000 for Block C only. This is because take-up rate for Block C has exceeded 75%. Block B could be next as take up-rate for Block B is more than 65%.

Distance between Block B & C (balcony to balcony) is approximately 90ft.

You will start to bear maintenance from OC/CCC/VP which under the new Strata Management Act, you will receive together about the same time. Most if not all fixtures will be completed together with OC/CCC/VP. Loose furnishing & electrical appliances may differ in time as these items will be solely based on choice of owner.

To my knowledge, the material of the balcony is glass. However, I will verify this info and repost again.

When is the central park facing block A & B going to complete?

@Buyer or others,
After signed the S&P somewhere on mid of March 2016, we can start to apply for the housing loan? Or need to wait official launching OR wait for some official documents before can apply?

Dear All Vertu Resort Buyers/Owners,

Yes, I agree with you that good thing must share. But it might not a “good” thing and agreed by others.

We are not here to promote this project to anyone here to buy, and we are not here to prove we did a right choice purchasing this project. I created this group is just to gather all the buyers to know each other, and sharing any other info related to this project.

You are most welcome to join. If you feel not comfortable to stay in the group later, you may choose to leave the group. No obligation

Cheers,

@Pink
We prefer at least the name of buyer is visible, the rest of the info you can blind it.

Don’t worry, we will not ask for your unit number, price purchased, bank account, home address, I/C no and etc.

I also hope that I can filter only genuine buyers to be in the group in order to protect the rest of the members’ interest.

If you wish to verify I am genuine too, you can whatsapp me at 0124393220.

Hi buyers, most people buy to stay or rent out. If rent, how much is the rental per month? If this condo unit completed and CO obtain, how many % can appreciate?

@VertuResort
Hi,
thanks for your flexibility, I have ping you in whatapps

Awesome show house will be ready within April month… Hurray…

About the show house, which type/unit that will available?

i heard the show unit is ready in 29th April, only 2 types of unit (the smallest unit 1030sf and the biggest unit) will be shown.

i am interested in this project, can send me more info ?

JAC I am a purchaser of Verturesort condo, This is my fair assessment of verturesort. Firstly nowadays Big Money Developers like to build townships where location,convenience and transport are key factors to attract buyers. The other factor is of course pricing. Verturesort in my opinion meets that criteria. Of course you have other attractions like Ikea and Central Park thrown in. For the pricing between RM350 to 380 per sq ft is affordable price compared to island say the township of Bayan Baru. However density is much higher….5 blocks with 1,200 over units in one development area. This means under 1 Management only. It is a collosal task for the management where maintainence is concerned. I think 0.20 sen + 10% sinking fund may not be enough in the long run and maintainence fee may go up. May I have your feedback.

interested, pls pm me

Yay! Show gallery is opening soon.. Anyone going? We can meet for teh tarik!

why so many ask for feeding more info and PM me Pm me?
all 165 comments above plus internet Mr Google coverage not provide enough info?
I feel very funny to them..

may I know this property is in residential land or commercial land?
how much for the quit rent and assessment fee?

Show gallery available on 30th Apr? Is this true? Anyone has more update?

@Mas240

The show units will be launched this Friday 4/29 until 2-May for viewing.

@Jesper,
my fren who bought until now still don’t get any info about show unit from the sales girl.

why the show units make so secret ? open only few days and need to make reservation only can view show units???

@Mas240
you may follow closely on their FB page and their flyers are out too
I’d recommend your friend to contact the sales person and RSVP for this coming weekend

@happyman
There’s no secret. AG hope the visitors to RSVP in order to make arrangement on their preparation, i believe, from resources and refreshment perspective.

@Jesper
i’ve registered for a visit on 1st of May, wondering when are they going to inform me the time of visit…?

@ Jesper,
Thanks for tips. Found it:

@cay

@Mas240
Hope to see u!

@happyman
i’m sure they put 200% on this event. This is their first launching of the mega project

Hi all,

I just been to the Vertu Resort show gallery this morning, it was quite packed. Seen the layout and show unit for Type A(smallest unit 1030sf if not mistaken). So far its selling fast, in fact smallest size only left with lower floor units and prices have been revised to start from RM481k onwards from lowest level 10th onwards. Comes with fixtures and furnishing (kitchen cabinet top and bottom, island, cooker hood and hob, aircond unit, built in wardrobe, heater, washing machine, refrigerator), min rebate for RM3k from the billing. 2 indoor carpark. Booking 10% is required to reserve a unit, while pending finalisation of end financier, estimated somewhere Aug 2016 before buyer could proceed to seek for loan approval and sign S&P. The 10% deposit should buyer cancelled their purchase decision prior to signing, will be refunded into their membership account which can only be utilized to buy any of Aspen Group future new development, cannot be refunded as cash. This is the part buyer need to take note…ensure that your loan eligibility is totally with approval range prior to committing as 10% of even the cheapest unit of Vertu Resort will come to around RM48k…on top having to pay the usual maintenance for the condo, kindly take note that all owner within the Aspen township also need to fork out monthly maintence payment to maintain their planned Central Island Park.. amount to be determined later part…

The developers have increased the price again. This time the cheapest unit goes for nothing less than 480k++. There aren’t much around the vicinity at the moment. Whoever buys this project will probably need to wait another 10years to see the area really reach its full potential. For a condo at almost half a million in the middle of nowhere, the rich can afford to buy to add to their portfolio but the middle class will have to think twice before committing. So the question is, will there be enough people staying there to make it a real ‘city’? Or a ghost ‘city’ because most buyers are only investors/speculators?

actually is two win, some tactical in behind. if not how to spur the master plan. once transporting time become shorter to increase population amount movement.

if every development planned at B.Kawan turns up superbly well, then there is value for money… plus, it’s almost fully furnished..

@SKY
what is the meaning of furnishing “island”??

@Miss M
island top

After visit the show house i just feel they hard sale point is IKEA……
if if if IKEA suddenly pull out the plan that is the empty land still…….
the price i prefer can buy in Island……
maintenance 20c psf so min need to pay is RM206 without sinking fund……
if for investment you need have a holding power for 5 years and more to get the return.
without IKEA this place not a first choices at all….

@williamyl

We are all fully aware if without IKEA,it’s really nothing as selling point but the fact is IKEA won’t pull out as it is also under Aspen project and it involves in huge investment and compensation if Ikea becomes white elephant…Vertu has committed to furnish with its products as selling point too..so pretty sure IKEA is there as well as Design village is there to make up the whole plan and selling point perfect

You need to compare Apple to Apple,it’s no way to get in island at such space and package with this price,not even mention in BM & BW….

480K u can get a G&G Landed DST in Pearl City! within 20 minutes U can reach Batu Kawan. The choice is obvious.

Haha..Like I mentioned, compare Apple to Apple..Some people just like to stay in condos, just like me..Easy access to amenities (walking distance), safety and convenience are also the concerns as well

I don’t doubt we can pay RM480K for DST in Pearl City, but it’s not fully renovated and furnished for sure. Also, it’s 20 mins driving distance..not walking distance..So, it depends on what you want..I am from BM but I am pretty interested in this project..So will continue to pay attention on it..If for investment purpose…

One thing not so good about Tambun is a lot of flies and bad smell…this will drive people away if considering long term staying..

@williamyl
Now that IKEA is confirm, so, what is your point of view?

@Buyer
No doubt Pearl City is self sustainable with their newly open C Mart. Vertu has all infrastructure just by walking distance.. school, medical center, shopping mall, banks..

@edisongan
dont continue to monitor! Hurry up because the take up rate is getting higher!

@Jesper
at moment is buy a dreams…………
Can I know when IKEA will official opening????

@anna

Hi. Where are you getting the info from? Cheapest unit available I saw at the chart is RM435K. I think you must be greedy looking at the big unit or prime units that’s why price so high.

Question, will you pay RM480k for an Affordable Home where the unit is smaller and Leasehold on Penang island whereby the supply has exceeded 10,000 units or RM480k for a proper freehold Condo whereby the unit is larger and a new township is being built?

By the way, TEKA is confirmed for their kitchen appliances. Aspen-Ikano is now collaborating with TEKA to provide home owners with TEKA fridge, washing machine, cooker hood, cooker hob, sink & tap. This proves their commitment in quality. Seriously, I would spend and hold a rare and good quality product than spend and hold a common low quality product.

those who want to buy better think twice…

kawan :
aspen group is consider a new developer in penang base… ikea is one of thier selling point to promote thier reputation..aspen vision city is one of thier 1st big project of course need a big land to run thier show…maybe thats they choose batu kawan… vertu look nice!

new developer and new project so you don’t put so much high expectation ya. prettysure many issues will come up when the building is completed. hehe

@Jesper

Haha..What are you? Agent or staff there? Haha..I already bought one condo at BM in year 2013 and OC expected to pass end of this year..

As for 2nd property, mainly is for investment purpose, so must really find the right one then go ahead, why hurry since there are so many new and nice condos project?

I am not used to Tambun area so for investment purpose still fine..Perhaps the overall environment will get improved tremendously ..Else..Too many flies and smelly sometimes..Agree?

@villageman
new name but the captain of the ship and background boss is experienced builders with tons of connections
not saying there won’t be any problem arises but this property is indeed a unique investment
if everything goes on well, it could be of something spectacular

@villageman

Hi villageman, not to be sarcastic or anything … you really sound like some guy from an obscure village. Though Aspen is new, do you know that the development is a Joint Venture project with Ikano? An internationally established public listed company? This alone places a multi-billion dollar brand trust on Aspen. Surely there will be effort to ensure quality.

And in case you are still in the village mentality, and if they are lousy and don’t care for quality, why their agreement (SPA) states 48 months defects warranty period. Twice the amount of a standard developer. Even EcoWorld is giving 36 months only. This proves their commitment to provide quality products. No idiot developer company will give you crap quality and provide 48 months defects warranty. It’s just inviting trouble. In fact, I kind of like their strategy of providing 48 months defects warranty as it will shut critics like you up.

@Buyer

Well said..Some people just being KPO only..Not really a genuine buyer or investor who like to give egoistic comments without studying the background and facts lah…Relax yourself, ok? Haha

I truly agree with you that this project will not be something small and high risk (white elephant) because Aspen is very famous now and going to list soon if not wrong..

Also, the Ikano and TEKA already confirmed supplying the furniture and kitchen cabinet..So this kind of agreement already made public will not easily be drawn back unlike children playing sand lah..will jeopardize their reputation too..

I am still considering was because merely of future development of batu kawan only…Because I used to own a flat in Tambun and it really takes too many years to appreciate a very little bit..

@williamyl
you can buy a sub-sale, or already built property if u aren’t confident towards the new project

@edisongan
i’m not agent la.. i’m observer

@edisongan
if you are not 100%, just keep the cash for time being lor…
it’s not cheap but most of other lands were acquired by established names and since it’s almost a white paper, these developers will gear toward a high end plan and this is what it makes Batu Kawan a unique investment
I trust it will not turn out to be a total wasteland
worst case scenario is it takes more years than we anticipated to make it THE happening town
