Agreed, this is not fair to buyers like us. Facilities and condo design can be easily changed out of our control. We should not sign for this agreement.
Hi, may I know if anyone booked 25th floor & above, your car park allocated at lower floor 3rd floor?
I mean lower than 3rd floor?
@Emily
Car parks at 1st – 3rd floors are for sale, as I know.
@Emily
The higher your unit is, the lower your car parks are.
My unit is at low floor, so my car parks are at high floor.
@Emily
Car parks from LG to 2nd floors are for sale only, not initially allocated for buyers.
To clear confusion, Reen’s “1st floor” means LG floor, “3rd floor” means 2nd floor.
Seriously I stay nearby and planes are flying over and over every hour, some even at low latitude. So sound pollution is one thing, slight vibration at top floor may be significant. Try to stay a night at Crystal Villa Condo and you will feel it. I do not know why and how this project can be approved since it is so near to airport?
Which area are u staying, Cantona?
Info from a person who signed:
“Upon signing, u will be asked to sign another 4 letters of agreement for outer amendment, in case the architect wants to change any outer parts of the project, including the layout and facilities. To get the amendment approval from different authorities, including perbandaran, ALL buyers have to agree and sign these 4 agreements. “
@Hmm
compulsory to sign these agreements when signing snp?
Melati Apartment, just beside the construction site. I am not a buyer. Just highlight the issue I faced daily.
I am also work in factory near Intel and can see planes flying on top of my head during arrival and departure. I stay at top floor of my apartment (4th floor).
@Will
The lawyer called.
I suppose it is compulsory to sign because the lawyer just said there is an option to cancel the purchase.
The justification given is to avoid construction delay (due to getting buyers’ consent delay) if the authority requested for any building change at the later stage.
It sounds “right” but it gives developer the utmost authority for any change
@Cantona
Thanks for you highlight. Appreciate it.
@Will
Of course compulsory.
In the eye of law, anything sign on top of APDL and SPA, will automatic Void. Our sign date is example 7Apr, but SPA date is 25Apr, then the document sign on 7-Apr automatically void or illegal. I have warmed the lawyer not to miss lead us, else i will complain to Bar Council.
Now a day developer and lawyer do this kind of illegal action to threaten buyer to cancel purchase, and mislead buyer to sign invalid document.
Do remember, when you sign anything, pls write down the DATE clearly. This will help us keeo the prove that developer mislead us to sign document, the court will bring justice to u.
Hahaha.
Change facade?
Already fully sold, why still need to change facade?
Under what situation, authority ask to chg building facade?
If later developer change to like a weird or monster facade look, can we withdraw 100% and what?
@Jenn
By the time you find out facade changed your bank would have fully released the payment to developer liao lo. How to withdraw? bbye bye
@Jenn
Actually thin about it carefully, if you find these practices are unlawful dont buy . Once you buy have the prgress payments released etc, would you want to sue the developer in court all over and spend on legal fees ???? its just not practical at all. So if youre not confident dont go ahead . If you proceed just take the risk thats all
How serious the aircraft noise, i want to know. Please advise whether your window open or close
I work in Bayan Lepas FIZ area for many years. Aircraft noise isn’t a big concern. Many residences around Krystal Point area. Have anyone heard about complaints? Don’t worry.
Developer told that APDL shall be obtained by end of Apr or latest early of May. Can I believe them?
@Knight
It can be trusted. As their pelan kerja tanah has been approved by mbpp (including jkr, jps, jabatan penilaian, jabatan kejuruteraan) in the last week.
Did anyone ask to developer directly whether Prisma Bumiraya is under RID Reka Indah
and Orchard Ville was one of their project? Credibility of developer is most important in my opinion. Buyer should have rights to know the truth.@ThinkPositive
For my knowledge,
1. Pearl Ocean is a new company formed by one of RID bosses.
2. RID is going to be retired from the market, as two of RID bosses are retiring.
3. Prisma Bumiraya is a subsidiary company under Pearl Ocean, not RID.
4. Orchard Ville is RID’s project, not Pearl Ocean’s. So far the feedback from Orchard Ville owners is positive in terms of the condo condition, which they feel satisfied with the end product.
I heard price increased rm29k/unit… sweat..
To obtained the APDL, developer shall fulfill the 2 major compliance as below:-
1) SiFUS must obtained – mean all the drawing must clear and approved by MBPP/PTG
2) Deposit 3% cash of the total construction cost into the HDA account
If developer comply those. only cant obtained the APDL………..usually the 3% cash into the HDA account is more concerning for the developer
@Hello Good to hear that. If Pearl Ocean is a newly formed company. Is Pearl Ocean financially stable? Some buyers might have concern on newly formed company on project abandon due to financial problem. How do you think?
@Novus Buyer If 3% cash also Can’t allocated by developer. How a developer has capability to complete a condo project? hrmmmm…….
@Knight
For finance stability in Pearl Ocean, I can’t confirm. But one thing I know that Pearl Ocean’s employees are originated from RID. So there is certain confidence for this project in my point of view.
As what I know, Peal Ocean key personal is the main share holder and management team from RID before. Mr Yeap
I staying at top floor (4th to be exact) and sound from plane can be heard easily with windows closed. Of course, If you are staying as high as 44 floors, the impact may be even significant. Planes starts at 7.15am till midnight. Just my 2 cents.
hi cantona, got so loud? i currently staying at pantai jerjak. quite near krystal point there. i didnt hear any planes. but mine is landed house.. hmm…
@sss
No lah the noise will be insignificant lah . Not all flights would be taking the same path anyway.
btw guys im not Novus buyer.. im Triuni buyer :)i did book one unit novus the other day..but decided to cancel and take triuni instead.
@sss
The unit which you cancelled one is 1155 or 862 sqft type?
@Novus Buyer Is Mr. Yeap the one who sat on right corner of RID webpage (board of directors)?
http://www.rid.com.my/about_us.html
@Hello
i think should be the 1155sqft unit coz Triuni price is 700k onwards XD
btw, u booked 1155 or 862sqft for Novus?
@Kuek
I booked 862 sqft type unit
May I know this project is freehold or leasehold?
@Lim Freehold
@Lim Residential title
@Knight
Thanks for the info.
i just book today…
can i know..u all took which bank loan?
@Hello
i cancelled 1155 one..im buying for own stay d..not investment.so i feel bigger more comfortable for me
Current bank rate from 4.22%-4.35% and each bank offer different package eg: semi flexi, full flexi, sharing no risk, compulsory MRTA or etc…. suggest apply few banks to compare and choose the most suittable to your needs @esther
Ambank 4.30% semi Flexi. Full Flexi needs open current account with additional surcharge.
@esther You booked high or low floor unit? Are there many units available currently? I heard all units were booked and remain limited lower floor units available?
Lot of ready house with bigger layout and better price in the market. I don’t see any selling point here
It is true here, i just notice Orchard Ville is very messy now and the finishing and delivery are terrible. RID and Prisma boss may be in trouble to fund for the compensation and messive defect rectification for the condo owner. I personally met a few Orchard Ville and i onlu can use 1 word to describe their situaltion now. “CRY” “CRY” and “CRY”.
Pls go and learn more of this RID and Prisma Bumiraya.
Finally, I decided not to proceed to buy this Project, i will let 19-Apr date line to pre-sign the SPA, i will not sign and let them reject me.
Bye Bye ….. Novus ….. I will let go my good unit
@Jenn
That’s the different feedback I received…
mine is about Orchard Ville owners happy with their units instead
@Jenn
What is your unit no.? If it suits me, I may ask the developer for your unit since you want to let go. Thanks.
@Jenn
I’m interested in the unit you’re letting go. May you provide your email address here so that I can contact you? Thank you.

Which floor is your unit? Face sea (Krystal Suites) or Bukit Jambul?
Good sharing, thanks.
I booked a unit#7 level 28 n above
I booked mine on 07 Apr I took the higher floor among the balance unit and only lft with N20-6 & N30-7.
@Knight
Nice chose, welcome Novus owner
ya, facing Bukit Jambul and seaview sold out.
I heard only level 16 or above will have seaview
One of my concern of Novus project is the airplane take off noise disturbance. Have anyone gone up the 8th floor of Krystal Suit near the swimming pool area and feel the noise when airplane flying pass ? It is loud. Shouldn’t louder for those stay at 20th floor above especially for the Qbay view ?
Please comment….
@HomeMaker
Aeroplane noise is my biggest concern as well. Anyone can share your experience on these matter?
3 car park + rebate = 750K is still very high in market. Should i proceed?
TBH 750k for 1155sqft is a little bit expensive as of today, but for this location and density, it could be acceptable.
Any buyers who are willing to let go of your 862 sqft units please let me know here. Thank you.
@Reen
I think you try goes to krystal suit 8th floor open space area to feel it. I can feel noise and tremble, at least 5 flights every hour to assess it. Not much effect firefly but 747 does.
Instead of worrying about noise from airplanes, I’m concerned about the vibration of airplanes do to the building in few ten years, which might cause cracks to the high-rise building
Thanks for this suggestion, Homemaker. By the way, public people like us can go upstair without staying there?
dun know y u all concern about the air plane noise?
as ppl said go outside u will feel the noise so just stay inside
the houseloh. and when the architect submit the plan they
must go through the air-port authority if that area within
certain distance to the air-port.
@Jenn
Consider that at most developments nowadays you will only get 1 car park. The rest are sold at 50k per bay. You’re getting 2 extra. That makes it 100k benefit ade.
Any one know how the 2 blocks (phase 1A and Phase 1B, one block each) erect on the land? Which number will be blocked?
Rabbit. Pls get you fact right laaaa …… Studio unit with ~450sf sure come with 1 car parks. Those 1000sf above will almost all come with 2 carparks.
Btw, are you proxy or sales team from Prisma?
Hahahaha
Just confirm with bank and lawyer (personal lawyer), we can sign
a) Housing Loan
b) Pre-Sign SPA
without any worry, just to fulfill un-reasonable requirement to secure your desired unit.
This is under the Contract Law,
both (a) and (b) agreement/contract only valid if Novus APDL get approval for sales.
Since now Novus is not ready for sale, (a) and (b) above will not be valid and automatically VOID.
Note:
When you sign, pls make sure you state clearly the date of signature to protect your self.
We sign just to fulfill developer un-reasonable requirement.
At Agilent car park, the plane just take off and the noise is very loud (Probably need to stop phone conversation). Not sure how high the plane is when reaching this area.
Really can meh ? Let me ask my lawyer and confirm.
@Hemsley
Hi Hemsley, is the planes fly exactly above Aligent?
This morning I waited outside of my factory open space beside Intel from 8:30am to 9:00 am. There were 2 flights took off from airport i. e. Air Asia. And Cathay Pacific. The sound seems loud but not too bad. The route was not towards Krystal Point area but turned to sea direction. Probably whose unit face to QB can see good view of flight take off. If someone work there, please share your experience.
Anyone already sign SPA?
@Knight
I do searched an article “Noise In High Rise Building”, the following factors are important in defining the levels of acoustic amenity in high rise building. Road traffics and aircraft noise are a significant impact into high rise building and when buildings are located near major traffic routes of under aircraft flight paths, whoever it is appropriate to consider acoustic double glazing systems to manage aircraft noise.
Novus is an isolated tower (stand alone), compare to Melati flat although only 5 storey high building will much noisy because the sound reflective theory cause the acoustic reflection and echo valley effect. For example The Light also suffering for the sound pollution because the Jelutong Express Way cause the sound reflection via the echo valley effect.
Hence, base on this article theory. If the building is stand alone the sound paths reflection will reduce because there is no echo valley cause the sound travel from building to building ( this maybe happen to Melati Flats).
In fact I have friend stay at the Taman Sri Nibong, double storey terrace house and Lavinia Apartment. What is they feedback to me Aircraft noisy is not an issue at thier place. Therefore, maybe this is because the acoustic reflection at the Melati flat (multiple towers) and maybe less for the future Novus Tower.
any 1 sign the SPA already?
Bank called yesterday informed that my loan has been approved.
SPA signing period is going to due soon. I am also interest to know anyone is going to sign SPA by next week?
@Knight
I signed the pre-SPA
@Novus Buyer Great. I am going to sign soon after signing bank loan acceptance letter next week.
@Knight
Me too.
@Hello Good decision.
Hope to get another positive response from those can’t make up their minds.
i paid the booking and now waiting for bank’s mortgage approval and choose the best offer
has anyone has any idea about this developer? i hope it’s really reliable one since it’s their first project
No idea about Novus area but you can hear loud aeroplane noise and coastal highway traffic noise at Lavinia. The higher you go, the noisier it gets for both types of noise.
It’s all subjective. Some ppl just get used to the noise and therefore are not affected.
I already decided to proceed to buy Novus …. looking at the building facade and location. Of cos, future LRT station
Seems Prisma Bumiraya /Pearl Ocean is new company although the Boss was ex-RID Boss.
I believe he won’t repeat same mistake as Orhard Ville.
Besides, there are another 2 land nearby Novus owned by Prisma Bumiraya. I don’t think he wants to screw up in his first project.
I am optimistic, what do you think?
@Lim
Hi Lim, with regards to your statement, I’m sorry but no, definitely majority of us is more than disappointed with this developer. This developer is good at words, sly like a fox!!!
Most of the project no matter from which developer sure will have some defects, apply to high end or low end developers Eg: hollow tiles, leakage, paint job, cement, and etc…. thats why every project have warranty to clear all the defects before they hand over to new management..
@Jo Tan
They think we’re stupid. Even poor quality paint won’t come off so easily.
@Knight
Since it is origin from rid…and they able to screw its previous project..it is more likely he able to screw next project. Optimistic is good but sometimes u need to learn from history.
Bear in mind,if the project get delay for one year or more..then u need to bear the interest for whole year without any compensation.
@Och Then, what is the benefit of developer to screw up the project?Reputation is important for all developers especially new.
Basically u need below
a) A Lawyer (RM10K-20K)
b) An Architect (RM8K) from Architect Centre
c) A Sttuctural Engineer (RM8K, only needed if Architect suggest to hire)
d) A Quantity Survayor (RM3K only if the claimed cost are complicated, else, simple contractor can quote for you)
Very likely u will win in court, and you can claim all the rectification cost, and above (a) to (d) cost.
Dare to go for it?
Pls dont go Tribunal Tuntutan Pembeli Rumah, the awarded claimed amout are very little compare to you original amount. (may be only 10%-15%)
I always advise people, those developer that do not follow SOP or rule, better avoid. History will tell how good is this developer.
Seems many disappointed buyers of Ochard Ville complained on RID or Pearl Ocean project. Many ppl believe that RID = Pearl Ocean. I hope developer or their agent can explain and clarify the situation. Else, Novus potential buyers become hesitate to sign SPA.
Never let bad developer play buyer.
Hi all
I so sympathy to the Orchard Ville buyers for what they facing now. As I already brought the Novus, I need to take all consideration and feedback from all the Penang Property Talk viewer, some are good , some are bad. What I can summarize for the Novus project feedback so far, only aircraft noise is the negative feedback, non other then this , right?
Beside the above, that is viewers concerned about RID reputation because OcV LAD issue (RID refuse to compensated) and defective issue as claimed by some viewers as major discussed at here.
As I had did some study for this Novus as below for supported my decision; I just want to share
End Financier
7 bank had provided end Financier to this development, mean this developer sure has healthy financial to able grabbed so many bankers supported.
Logistics
This no need I further explained at here, is strategy located at Sg Mining
Selling Price
I brought at RM580psf for high level and good view still in my opinion acceptable at the area
New Strata Act
This development sure under new Strata Act, by new schedule H, developer must delivered the Strata title before CCC
New APDL Compliance
Beside developer must obtained the SiFus approval, developer also need to deposit 3% cash of the developer cost into the HDA account ( huge money to open this account)
SiFus
Once SiFus approved, developer to follow the proposal and cannot simply make amendment on it (compare to old strata Act, SiFus come after completion )
New Strata Management Act
Developer to deposit 1% development cost to COB for the defective work, if developer no touch up the Commons area we have right to claim this money
Pearl Ocean
As Pearl Ocean leading by Mr HK Yeap (ex boss from RID), which is soul person from RID. Meaning he is not secondary management person from RID
Future Developer Next To Novus
Parcel 1, beside this Novus as Phase 1, Phase 2 by Pearl Ocean more low dense and the future price sure like rocket high. Parcel 2 also low density development by them. So my point of view, this Novus is their reputation and signature project, if Pearl Ocean failure Novus, other 2 will has very bad impact (so near to each other)
Workmanship
As I visited QcV and Medicine still can accepted the overall workmanship
Separated Parking Tower
This is attractive to me, because the surrounding compound for Novus more bigger
Con
Aircraft noisy
Correction
Is Sg Nibong
Sound pollution? Then Is it possible to request sound proof window from developer?
Sound pollution? Then Is it possible to request soundproof window from developer?
@Emily
Ya, shall using the better glass
Hi. I am new to this forum. Do you observe the balcony of the show house, was made by ugly iron material and painted in black colour. Wow, in black colour. It wan confirm by their sale team. I never come across any condo balcony are in black. Sure very ugly. Ask any plan to use glass balcony, and answer was negative due to cost control. My God ….. Black Iron Balcony
hi..i just c the kwanh hwa newspapee..they hv some ppl are complaint the this project n ask for on hild this project…
Zzz… hey please la… the balcony’s fence design is fashionable and on the trend of urban lifestyle nowadays. Moreover this balcony’s fence design suits the overall facade design more, instead of the glass fence one.
Please tell which date of KWJP? I am interested to understand further.
@Novus Buyer Thanks for the good analysis. I don’t mind aircraft noise becoz I don’t feel it is annoying. But for the selling price, seems my unit is RM630++ after rebate. Still thinking whether it is expensive at Sungai Nibong area. Other seems alright for me.
@Knight
@Knight
For me this pricing still reasonable and I believed your unit is the 862sft type. Your entry must less 580K compare to unit I brought (1155sft) is more than 700K. So for future sub-sales marketability sure your unit is more favorable to public compare to my unit.
For example If I just add 200K for my future sub-sales this unit already touching million……..compare your unit still in the region of 700K-780K (also make 200K profit). It is depend also for what the purpose you buy this Novus……..investment or own occupation.
For me, strategy location with reasonable pricing is more favorable to my choice, compare to new development near by QB (Queen Residential above RM800psf) once is my consideration also before U decided buy Novus.
can i know how many % buyer signed SPA? my loan approved. still thinking to proceed or not. i heard RID is very strong in building high rise. but still got alot negative feedback. @esther any news to share why onhold this project?
@OMG
I visited the show house as well. Novus furnishing is consider not high end but also not the low end as well. I believe is in the between high to middle class.
According the pre-SPA specification, developer provided timber/laminated flooring for all bedroom (unfortunate not for living & dining). High ceiling, above 10ft and 4 air-conditional completed with piping and drain pipe (compare to other project still only given A/C point only without piping).
For the balcony railing, I more concerned about the quality glass and aluminium frame for those window and the sliding door. If Pearl Ocean willing given the double glass for window, Aircraft noise will so not be an issue anymore.
Just for sharing, for me frame-less glass railing at the open area/balcony/corridor although look fancy and nicer but I felt very unsecured compare to metal/steel railing.
any 1 have buyer group chat?
@Knight
may i know which floor and size u booked?
mine is 862sqft unit and my calculation for RM/sqft after all rebate is RM581/sqft
@SAM (Buyer)
Have a Novus buyer group over FB, you just search “Novus Residences” over your FB, you can find that group.
What if the iron balcony railing went rusty …. maintenance will be a problem. Glass balcony always a ++ plus point for any building.
This project so hot-selling.. have been waiting for available 862 sqft units until now also no one unit is available for me…
if anyone willing to let go, please let me know here. TQ
@Novus Buyer
@Kuek
In fact, my unit is 1155 sqft, high floor face QB with 3 car parks.
@Novus Buyer
Thanks !!
I am a buyer of Skyridge. Signed SPA 2015, APDL come out Aug 2016. At least I obtain a nice unit. Lawyer also Chong and You
@Knight
Great
Do u bought 3rd car park extra buy? How much you total price before rebate?
@Jimmy
Above RM800K before rebate.
Anyone know what is the status of Penang LRT project?
Which authority can approve the project, state or federal government?
Please share if anyone has latest updates.
@Knight
The LRT is part of the PTMP which has to start by reclamation of the 3 small islands in the south west of the island. The reclamation is facing heavy protest from the fishermen there as it threatens their livelihood. All in all expect it to be completed only in 15-20 years time and im sure Federal govt will likely delay this as we are DAP ruled. Public transport needs federal approval.
Posted by Administrator:
NOTE: Recently, our readers/followers have written us to enquire about the relationship between the developer and RID. Our investigation concluded that Prisma Bumiray Sdn. Bhd. (Pearl Ocean) is NOT part of RID. Both companies are totally not related to each other.
i have 3rd carpark, total price for my 862sqft unit before rebate is in between 570k – 580k
Yet it was marketed as RID during project presentation
@Hmm
Pearl Ocean formerly is RID
How can they be not related when RID sales office is promoting Novus previously?! Is this a way to clear their own bad reputation now? *roll eyes*
@Novus Buyer
Not really – it was separated already during that time
@Hmm
The Pearl Ocean Key Person is ex RID boss, Mr HK Yeap. Now he is Pearl Ocean MD.
Previously in RID, maybe Mr HK Yeap in not the final said person and I did hope he will doing well for Novus, as Nouvs is their (Pearl Ocean) pioneer project in market, therefore he must put more effort to this project on quality, finishing as well not late deliver to let all the Novus buyers spread them good praise over our mouth. If they failure us, we will spread all bad words for them as well.
Saw a banner hanging at Melati flat at Taman Sungai Nibong wrote this wording
“3 BLOCKS OF HIGH RISE BEHIND MELATI – 566 UNITS!!!, DON’T USE TSN ROADS FOR ACCESS ROADS, DON”T CUT OUR PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS”
Asked for signature campaign daily 6pm tp 7pm at Taman Sri Nibong RA Clubhouse. Any comments for this………
3 Blocks :-\
Phase 1A : Novus 273 units
Phase 1B : XXXX 96 units
Phase 2 : XXXX 197 units
So total is 566 units…………….this is is against Novus ?
Yeah….That’s what i heard too…. Resident there even complaint that the truck bring sand going in and out of the road disturbing the peace….
@Kuek
which floor u bought? 3 car park and only 570k – 580k?
@Novus Buyer
3 block under one perimeter fencing ? or separate.
@brian
Got lorries move in and out already? Clearing work? Is almost the end of apr, maybe APDL approved?
@SAM (Buyer)
Pearl Ocean submitted 2 layout plans via “Prisma Bumiraya Sdn Bhd” for their development surrounded the Kystal Point as below:-
Parcel 1:- (For Lot 1619 & 1620)
Phase 1A: 1 Block 34 storey building (273 units) and 10 strorey building as car park and facilities (This is refer to Novus)
Phase 1B : 1 Block 44 storey building (96 units) and 3 storey car park ( super low density condo, maybe 2 units per floor………interesting)
So, under parcel 1, their submitted total 369 units. Because they separate the development under 2 phases, therefore sure Novus and this future low density development had separated perimeter fencing due to difference MC in future.
Parcel 2 :-(For Lot 542, 543 & 544)
34 storey building (197 units), another low dense tower near to the round about.
So total unit under this developer is 273(Novus) + 96 + 197 = 566 units……… (Melati flat objection figure is correct)
This will under separate perimeter fencing as well because another MC.
So, there is 3 individual building and MC, therefore sure had individual perimeter fencing to prevent tress-passing from outsider.
In fact the Novus owned the bigger compound, because the developer build the difference tower for car park, therefore Novus has 2 towers compare to the future development by Pear Ocean at that area.
@Novus Buyer
Yes, Pearl Ocean is formed by former RID boss.
But at least the presentation should not have stated RID. It seems to be an attempt to mislead the buyers.
@Hmm
Ya, agreed on that
Or maybe clearing out the debris left over by the previous kampung that was establish there.
Visited on site, nothing has been done. Haven’t do any clearing work.
Maybe because the developer still busy gathering SnP signing. i think they need to hit certain quota before start the project.
Saw a post from JJPTR Facebook that they bought over Krystal Suite hotel for 40 millions and it is under renovation. Is it true? Anyone just signed SnP?
@Novus Buyer
any master plan for the phase 2 / 3? so i can see how the perimeter fencing being draw and how is separate
@Ah chai
According to Pearl Ocean staff there is almost 80 units already signed SnP, they are arranging more units to sign SnP for coming weeks. My appointment for SnP will be in mid of May.
@SAO
Oh…which mean still less than 50 percent of people signing the SnP. Any idea if developer still have good unit to release? I am considering to grab one unit but a bit worry about the JJPTR bought over the Krystal Suite and the price is above market.
@Ah chai
Up to date is almost 95% sold, left few units at lower floor unless got Loan rejected by bank soon will be release by developer again. Most unit is waiting to sign for SnP, developer need to arrange with lawyer I doubt they can only arrange few unit per day.
@Ah chai
Suggest u drop by Pearl Ocean office in Bay Avenue to enquire for latest available unit, regarding JJPTR i have no comment, till now no any official announcement saying they bought over Krystal Suites. I feel is quite reasonable price for this location, Novus is the 1st landmark for this area.
@Ah chai
What’s your concern of Krystal Suite purchase by JJPTR on Novus?
@SAM (Buyer)
You can view on the Novus Residences friend pages at Face Book, their posted
i think his concern most probably JJPTR would extend krystal suite building to higher floor thus blocking further more of novus floor, which i doubt they can do that but anything that possible….
@Hmm
My concern is if they rent out to foreigners workers just like B Suite
@Ah chai
Who is the owner of Krystal Suites? “make no difference” even with current owner they also can convert or rent out to anyone anybody if there is an opportunity to make more money
Any idea where is the security house located in Novus Residences?
Probably the facing the main entrance of the road or just behind those row of houses … judging the estimation of the map ….
Any one sign SnP already? so no one concern on the facilities provided by the developer SnP vs what had been mention during the launching ?
May I know 16 floor view will block by krystal suit?
@Apple
Krystal suite is 14 floor height + water tank and etc…. i would say Novus 16 is at border line
Recently, the posting is less active.
Anyone cancelled his/her unit end of April?
Still waiting for people to release good units……
@Apple
Should be just see through the Kytal Suite and Kystal Idaman roof
Yup, Surprisingly ppl had been quiet lately when SnP signing time…. i think it is best to ask developer to spare cancel unit….
@brian
I do not counter-check the list of facilities in SnP with the ones mentioned during launching.
I am concerned that developer will oversimplify or change the facilities design.
What is on your part?
Recently my friend has request the balance units for the Novus Residences during their QB road show, although my friend very sincere and commit will sign the Pre-SPA if have high floor and good view units for him to select, unfortunate the developer reply to him is no more, only left lower floor……meaning the taking rate is consider high? Other please comments
@Novus Buyer
Well it could also mean that they are trying to sell off the lower units first and if response is good then open up the higher floors with much increased pricing.
That what im afraid off too , when i saw the SnP picture snapshot provided on facilities had been simplified, you may end up getting those relax garden will no longer be a relax garden but an empty space with few flower pots, all those perks could be over simplify since you had sign the authority for their engineer to change the design anytime they want.
I still havent sign my SnP yet but when i do i probably might ask them to elaborate the facilities again based on SnP provided.
Possible
and i believe no one wants to get the lower floor too maybe that it is close to car park floor where everyone can access in and out.
@Novus Buyer, probably you can ask you friend to try again i believe many had not sign SnP and will release those good units…
Based on the broucher design on the novus, i think our house design outlook will be something close similiar to pinang laguna waterpark condo at perai….
Any updated news on Taman Sri Nibong residents protest on using TSN road for access?
Pass there last night….seem they had remove the banner that used to place at the junction, maybe they had accept the fact that they cant change anything.
The layout for small unit is odd especially the open kitchen expose directly to bedrooms and also near to common kitchen.
What do you all think?
Typo error with correction.

Either the design pretty common these days or it is just RID / pearl ocean common design all along for their building.
@brian
It’s great. Thanks for updates. I hope less issue arise for Novus project.
@brian and all
Thanks for your email, besides, what do you think of lightness along the corridor after the lift especially the floor below 10, the sunshine may be blocked by car park building.
Hi All,
If that is the issue with lightness along the corridor for those who stay below floor 10, perhaps, developer need to be highlighted or feedback and they can take this as an improvement plan on this Novus project.
@brian
As what I know, once the MBPP has approved this development, there already considered the objection from the surrounding residents, hence I dont think so the residents can just simply objected the road link to this development.
Furthermore, road is public access and any development has absolute right to proposed their connection to the public access.
@James
Base on the separated car park tower, the below is my opinion for the pro and con:-
Pro:-
-Biggest compounding for this development
-Future (MC) can do the extension on the car parks tower, eg top up the building high
Con:-
-The progress billing for the residences tower will come very fast, because the car parks tower built separately
-Blocking the direct sunlight for those unit is facing to the car parks ( Level 1 to Level 9)
The brightness can be improve by the lighting, hope Pearl Ocean to look into this aspect.
@Novus Buyer
Thanks for your info
It is funny how they can object the road usage but not objecting the illegal parking by the road side.sometimes it is so hard to move when incoming car / bus is on the opposite lane.let just hope that it wont get worst after novus is complete.
extension on the car parks tower ? Is it that even possible even after the MBPP had certified the drawing.
There are swimming pools and other facilities on top of car park building. I don’t think extension of car park building is feasible. What do you think?
Yes, that is possible when the Novus is under MC. Via the MC, MC can submit the new application to raise up the building. But that still subject to the existing tower foundation can cater or not for the future extension.
Just my opinion only, after the MC formed, MC has right to submit the extension/renovation. This also to subject to the existing foundation can cater for that proposed extension.
Finally, i pre-sign my SPA and paid RM20K+
Saw this in OSC Portal: http://www.epbt.gov.my/osc/Borang_info.cfm?ID=391445&NoForm=Form2

It looks like only 1 building, thought that the car park tower is separate building?
Any comment?
@Jaydon
Prisma Bumiraya total have 3 project in Gerbang Bukit Kecil 2
Hi All, May I know how many floor of the car park building?
@Consumer
From what i understand from developer admin originally is 9 floor of car park now reduce to 8 floor.. common facilities at level 9 (infinity pool, landscape garden, urban park and etc..) level 10 (Gym, community hall and open lounge)
Not sure if the calculate the building as a whole since the car park is adjacent/connected to the building
@SAO
Thanks for your reply, it is quite tall, as notice in other projects, usually, the maximum level of is around 4 to 5 even there are 3 blocks sharing the same area, the floor level remains below 5. I wonder how long it takes to up to last floor : ) before reaching home.
@James
Just did an experiment in the last month. Drive from 3rd floor of Queensbay’s north zone carpark to the rooftop. It took ~5 minutes, considering there are some customers parking their cars at the same time.
Anyone going to their ground breaking ceremony. refreshment provided.
APDL have not obtain, break what group?
Some time ago, developer said APDL will be obtained by latest early May.
Today is 12-May. Any idea of APDL status?
