Will buy and rent out

It seems they will launch another two block beside in future from their building floor plan. With at least 2600 units in a single spot, not sure it is a wise investment or not?

With RM460++ per sqft l can buy Penang Island Condo….

Price with 460k look promising with 1000sft! If you compare the same area, Project Versa only 700sft (2 rooms and without any furniture) already sell this range of pricing. I think this will be another hot project! Either investment or own stay. Well done Eco World!

Commercial project. Feels like Zen is better..just my 2 cents

@LL

Yes, Zen/Zen 6 is nice location. But the density is too high, about total 1930 units. Mixed with 1200 units affordable units.
Also the Sqft is smaller but really i like the location.

Ashton owners gonna have permanent sunblock soon 😀

@jack
Good la… house become not so hot already… 😉

@Mrs Teh

500SGD$ per sqft HDB in Singapore, as well I buy a premium landed in Malaysia, right?

Who to expect a high rise at Eco Horizon? From their naming A B C D suddenly a D’Ceria

@Islander

Their master plan always has high rise condo. Not one but multiple.

@Clio

High rise is fine, was expecting high rise at Dawson, hence I said only A B C D. Then suddenly another project beside the A B C D haha

Mrs Teh :
With RM460++ per sqft l can buy Penang Island Condo….

Yes Affordable Homes

@Islander

Please expect more condo to be build. The location of the current showroom/gallery will be used to build future condo. If not mistaken, the second lake will be public one. Only the 1st one will be remain for Ashton owners only.

@Clio

Good to hear about the lake. Now we have 3 public park in Batu Kawan.
I actually hope they can make a link bridge like in front of Intel at Bayan Lepas, from Queensbay, so that people can actually walk or cycle to another side of highway.
To link between ecoworld and the rest.

Ceria vs Versa which is more practical for investment?

Eco vs Aspen comparable?

@Roy
Ceria vs Versa which is more practical for investment? – Ceria

Eco vs Aspen comparable? – Eco better than Aspen

@Roy

By the time Ceria complete VP I think the best of Versa is still in construction 50%

@Philip
Why ceria? Mind to elaborate?

Islander :
@Roy
By the time Ceria complete VP I think the best of Versa is still in construction 50%

I thought govt has regulations on building period? No more?

According to published figures, finalised sales of Aspen project
Vervea – 92.9%
Vertu Resort -96%
Vivo -88.5%
Viluxe -82.6%

@Roy

There is, but developer got their own “way” as well.
Pre-pre-prelaunch, pre-pre-launch, pre-launch, and early launch.

They are still at the legal dateline by the time of VP, as more 1-6month of delay.
If you know what’s going on during Vivo prepreprelaunch, then you know already.

Aspen the earliest to enter Batu Kawan, but look at how many completed projects they have.

@Roy

Eco World, a renowned property developer, for their outstanding work in the industry. Their commitment to excellence and attention to detail is truly commendable. The properties they have developed showcase a perfect blend of modern design, functionality, and sustainability.

Eco World’s dedication to creating environmentally friendly communities and incorporating green initiatives into their projects is highly admirable. They have succeeded in creating harmonious living spaces that not only provide comfort and convenience but also prioritize the well-being of residents and the surrounding environment.

Furthermore, their commitment to delivering projects on time, maintaining high construction standards, and providing excellent customer service sets them apart in the industry. Their transparent communication, responsiveness, and professionalism have left a positive impression on customers, making them a trusted and reliable developer.

Overall, Eco World has consistently demonstrated their expertise, innovation, and commitment to creating exceptional properties that enrich the lives of residents and contribute positively to the communities they serve.

@Philip
well said Philip, this is also the same for AsiaGreen for its excellence execution of Penang World City

First of all, i do not think “quality” or “harmonious living spaces” or ” excellence and attention to detail” etc matter so much for a location like Batu Kawan, due to the “abundance” of flies and farm shit smell there, which can easily spoil everything :))) If you compare location, definitely Aspen projects are better located due to close proximity to colleges and university (hence the lucrative student rental market).

Thanks all of you for the great advice…
Versa cheaper purchase price (might be higher psf)…

@Roy

You are welcome. Yes, it is cheaper in terms of a smaller square footage (703 sqf) with only 2 rooms. It depends on your needs, whether you want to invest or use it for your own stay. The lower prices are for units below level 20, which come with only 1 car park. The prices are slightly higher for units on level 21 and above, which come with 2 car parks. For example, Tower A-21-03 facing BKIP view/second bridge has a SPA price of RM427K, and after an 8% rebate, the net price is RM392K.

@LL

Yes, Asia Green also another great developer! Asia Green’s Penang World City project stands as a testament to their success and vision in shaping the urban landscape of Penang. This ambitious development has made a significant impact on the real estate sector and has become a landmark in the region.

@tualiapleng

Thank you for sharing your perspective on Batu Kawan. While I appreciate your viewpoint, I would like to provide some clarification on a few points you mentioned.

Regarding the quality and harmonious living spaces, it’s important to note that developers in Batu Kawan, including Aspen Group, Eco World, Paramount, etc. strive to create well-designed and thoughtfully planned environments for residents. These developments undergo rigorous planning and adhere to quality standards to ensure a comfortable living experience.

As for your concern about flies and farm smell, it’s worth mentioning that Batu Kawan is an evolving area with a mix of industrial, commercial, and residential zones. While it’s true that certain areas may have agricultural activities nearby, it’s crucial to understand that ongoing efforts are being made to manage any associated inconveniences effectively.

In terms of location comparison, Penang’s development landscape is diverse and offers options to cater to different preferences. While Batu Kawan Aspen projects may indeed be closer to colleges and universities, Batu Kawan has its own unique advantages, such as its strategic location near major highways, upcoming transportation infrastructure, and growing business opportunities. These factors contribute to the overall appeal and potential of the area.

It’s essential to consider that each individual’s priorities and preferences may vary when evaluating the suitability of a location. It’s always recommended to explore different perspectives and visit the area personally to form a well-rounded opinion.

@Philip
Definitely, Asia Green single-handedly salvaged Penang World City and shaped it into how it is today. I dare not imagine the state of Penang World City had it without Asia Green.

I also commend Eco World for its excellence execution of township planning. I happened to pay a visit to Ashton and is amazed by the build quality and landscape. I don’t often praise other developers other than Asia Green but Eco World is truly amazing. I also visited Eco Terraces and also amaze with the landscape design. Also, the floor plan is very sensible.

Everyone should understand that no one property suits everyone. Hence, please exercise your own judgement before any purchase. After all, it’s 35 year mortgage that we are speaking of.

No need analysis, buy if you got the money, if no money just rent. every year can change units and location.

The last comer of President Asia who has secure work contract to 65.

@Philip
I never dispute the so-called “rigorous planning & quality” etc, I am just highlighting the flies & shit, which essentially wipe-out all those benefits. No doubt, batu kawan is evolving, but the fact that Eco World is selling it’s products at “post-evolve” price while the place is still at “pre-evolve” stage is laughable!! And I actually find it amusing that you mentioned being near to highways is an advantage, as I thought only inter-state lorry drivers would find that appealing!!

@LL
Don’t forget IJM as well. Another remarkable developer which community driven developer. Eco World & Asia Green are equally the same with good quality awarded project.

@tualiapleng

Yes, I agree with your point, and it’s worth considering whether to enter the market now or wait for another 10 years before making a decision. 😉

Regarding the pricing of Eco World’s products, it is crucial to consider various factors. The pricing strategy might be based on the long-term potential and projected growth of the area. As Batu Kawan continues to evolve, there is a possibility of increased value and demand for properties in the future. It is not uncommon for developers to anticipate and reflect this potential in their pricing.

Furthermore, being near highways can offer advantages such as improved accessibility and convenience for residents. It provides easier connectivity to other areas, which can be beneficial for various purposes, including commuting and transportation of goods. While it may not be appealing to everyone, it can be an advantage for those who value quick access to different locations.

@tualiapleng

Businessman POV means, they so confident sell so high also can be sold. So positively thinking the confident level is memang high here.

Location wise, I will prefer stay near highway too. Taking example of my current house now, from house enter highway = 10min+, once enter highway I reach my office in 10min, but both distance is doubled or more if you ask me.

Near highway = easy access everywhere.
Ofcoz if want somewhere quiet I think will need to compromise access because need to “deep” into somewhere away from main road, so I think is fair give and take, there is no right or wrong here

@Islander
Just curious, when you say 10 mins to your work place, in which area do you work, if you don’t mind sharing?

this kind of economy i as a President of Asia also need to work till 65 to ensure my retirement life is guaranteed. Not a good time to touch property now, very risky tsk tsk tsk.

@cheong

If you count from Egate straight down to Batu Maung actually just 10 minutes of smooth driving, or 15min if slightly car. (Working day may be up to 20min+)

But going to FTZ4 from Golden Triangle takes longer time than that due to traffic light to wait.

Of coz, this is just to say about the location convenience, easy access to the highway is always something unless you only working within a radius of 5km of your house.

What are your thoughts on the density approaching almost 1.3k units? Would you consider it worthwhile to stay or view it as a positive aspect?

@Jonny

Piece of cake la for a big land small population like Batu Kawan.
Try to count around how many Imperial Buildings at Sungai Ara.

After 2 months of advertising it still not so much detail in overall project designs. They are going to sell the unit anytime soon but feel like not rational to buy a unit in “blind box” way. Although it is EW project but will it be another Vivo story where people camp overnight for a unit then regret afterward?

@John

The sample house has been completed and is now available for viewing. You can visit EW to take a look at it. According to the EW staff, the project design of the outlook is similar to Hana Eco Ardence in Johor.

No layout also can sell already, so EW is Aspen no.2 now? so lack of confidence? don’t take so big a portion of land please if no balls to develop.

See Paramount, announce Savana along with the layout, no need to wait, tiang is already plugged in and starting construction.

Aspen and EW got freehold bukan?

The so call pre-pre register and pre-pre unit preference choosing just an enticement for the potential buyer to give the info freely to them without able secure any unit they preferred. In the end business man still manipulate the game.

Aspen & EW: Large plot of land, freehold, best design winning award. Hello, do you interest in 1000sqft pre-mco price?

Paramount & PE Land: Leasehold, full detail & showroom upon release, no need pre-preorder, sold like hot cake, build fast than the rocket. I scare i not build fast enough, not scare people don’t buy.

so in the end, this property can buy or not? wanna buy for own stay

@Jonny
The info, experience and faith share on above you can refer and make your own judgement. Anyhow it is 35 years commitment for most of the people. Since you wanna buy for own stay, just bear in mind the project is commercial title where technically Airbnb is allowed and also the utilities and tax rate are higher than residential title.

mau beli, then beli
takmau beli, then takyah beli

Jonny :
so in the end, this property can buy or not? wanna buy for own stay

For 2023 POST MCO and life is short, rental is the way to go, don’t scarify your quality of life just to serve the 35 years of house loan. Why want to bother to serve loan like a slave for the skyrocket property price at the shrinking population of Penang.

@Jonny

If you not work at there, don’t buy for own stay.

@Islander
why said so ?

Jonny :
@Islander
why said so ?

U no work there, buy to keep mosquito a?

@Jonny

The living cost here definitely adjusted based on the demand here. Most people stay here for the sake of convenient work and they also afford to (mostly engineer and middle-income classes).

But sure, welcome to buy as this area are highly potential for future 20years development, your property not gonna waste, just don’t expect can ez let go in 10years.

People who buy here mainly for 2 reasons, for own stay because they work here, or for rent out as investment.

@Jonny

In short, for own stay wise why you want to buy here if you not work here?
Eg. you work at BM or Penang island, why you buy here instead of nearer spot where you work?

If the reason because it still cheap, there actually lot of cheap place somewhere else.

Unless you think of:
1. Batu Kawan good for invest
2. Still cheaper compare to where you work
3. Rather than buy somewhere no future potential and risk
4. Ok with transport everyday

Then you are good to go

anyone know when is the launching date? when can start booking?

Jackson :
anyone know when is the launching date? when can start booking?

besok boleh book BBB

@Jackson

29 July will open for public to choose the units.
Must register with Ecoworld first and wait for the SMS time.

I heard it is around 490k, any insight?

@joey

yes, below 500K, after 31 July, price will increase.
So, you can visit this coming Sat.

29th July open for the public, after 31st July price will increase, only 2 days period for you to “lock” the price.

Same thing they told me back in the Camdon project. Panic sales?

Islander :

bait to catch water fish

@jack

A site progression post of Vivo Executive suite in 2023 July even can’t stop mentioning it’s lowest price of 237k back in initial launch in 2019.

What’s the point of this? Hinting us not to regret for next project launch? Aspen & Ecoworld only know to catch early bird as water fish, meanwhile Paramount sell like hotcake without even much of advertising and social media spam.

If the developer is honest, perhaps can explain why their project still got unsold unit after 4years.

So price up already? I heard got another blok yet to be launched, that price might be getting up compared to the first blok?

@Sonic

Anyone have any info on the Tower A selling on 29 July?
Really hot cake? If not, Tower B i think price would be same or different package i guess… 😉

so so only. recommend to check out The Pier

@LL
Honestly saying, The Pier just win from the saying of view of sea and bridge, else from traffic wise, currently the jam on main road going out from there is the main vessel joining to Mainland, probably take you near half an hour to go out in the peak strawberry jam period..

Batu Kawan is actually a quite young city which really convenient to access to daily needs like schools, restaurant, groceries store, shopping mall, petrol station, hospital, factory, convention centre, stadium, etc… Everything is within less than few kilometers, which is quite attractive as a new city

@MoneyMoney
The Pier has award-winning design and flawless built quality managed by well known developer

I just booked a unit here. Not bad. Let’s see after 10years

@LL
Award won is for developer, all we need is a space to stay that simple.. flawless built quality that’s a must with the flawless price.. lol
No offense but just don’t understand why many like to boast a little over on those projects near there, The Pier, The Zen~

the landed house view all sold out in half of the day, is this MOFO ? or really that good ?

anyone taking loan already? RHB Seems not bad 3.90% with full flexi

almost perfect but too bad it’s commercial title~~ commercial no good right?

What u guys think of the empty car park roof top at facility floor?

It’s such a huge empty area without being utilised for facility, leisure or greenery purpose, totally an empty cement roof top. After some times, this even gives bad looking if not being cleaned and maintained.

While the facility area there is very very tiny, even high dense affordable house got far better and far larger facility area.

@iiiii
the bills are convertable just that more exp accessment fee but only once a year, should be fine

@jh
This project is consider as one of worst development in Batu Kawan. Please do study surrounding condo as well compare to this. Don’t regret later.

@MoneyMoney
Please watch out of buying property in Batu Kawan.
Quite many of friend buy Batu Kawan property but end up selling in lost. You can wait for another 20 years to get the city to mature. Those bought rm500k landed probably can wait for another 30 years to get appreciate to 1.5M if got luck.
You can buy if working in Batu Kwan or else just wasting time & forget about investment value.

@Batu Lawan

We expect those who are rich enough to invest in property should have basics in mind about this lmao.
I don’t know who those friends are, but people already know Batu Kawan property is not for buy-resell in the first place, it’s for long-term investment.

Even put aside Batu Kawan, I don’t think the buy-resell strategy is even a thing after 2018. Only those who enjoyed a 200-300k range property before early 2013 the most can benefit from it.

@Hemsley
can i know why it is the worst ?

@hemsley
Can share what are your others points of view which make this project worst development in batu kawan?

@Batu Lawan
so anywhere there’s suggestion for buy-resell which worth as investment?

actually quite agree with
@Islander
where now there’s really no such thing already, the same theory can be applied almost everywhere in the island, which might be even worst for those not town area property with no attraction at all beside a name of island property lol

@jh

Hi, you have the details outlook floor design structure and facilities details? Until now I still don’t know how to building look like. Only know it is 2 blocks and L shape.

@Philip
For now only have the facility floor plan, u may request them to show u

i tried to ask the facility floor plan but still dont have it. Is that because of the floor plan architect is not approved yet?

@joey

yes, EW still in progress getting APDL.
That why until today still no facade to share to public yet…

@Philip

so you mean EW selling it without APDL? is that even legal and legit to do so?

@Philip

That doesn’t really matter, with the name and fame of EW, the facade will be guaranteed in quality anyway… And important is you are staying inside, not staying outside, it won’t affect you from staying comfy inside the building~

@PenangOneBetter

First time? EW is not the only 1 doing that also. Out of 3 famous developers in Batu Kawan, 2 is doing that.

Place your order now or next month price going to up already globally, fast fast last room available.

Heard that Batu Kawan air is smelly. Is there any timing to smell it? Or the smell is always there?

@HY

Until 1-2years ago maybe.

@Islander

Means now no longer have the smell?

HY :
Heard that Batu Kawan air is smelly. Is there any timing to smell it? Or the smell is always there?

Yes, agreed.

I smelled prosperity and success of Batu Kawan township developement.

@Minion
Hahaha…Well said!

Anyone signed bank offer letter?

@HY
Last Sat just signed SnP …

@Philip
Congratulation!

@HY @Philips – May i know the current price? thank you.

HH :
@HY @Philips – May i know the current price? thank you.

Around RM350K Only Free Kipas Ceiling KDK

@Minion

Hmm, you bought the unit from G-7th floor? I thought their partial furnish included lightning, toilet, flooring, aircon & kitchen cabinet*(partial only) as well, how come yours only ceiling?

The lowest Nett is 379k, after bumi discount. Mind to share more info of rm350k

HH :
@HY @Philips – May i know the current price? thank you.

The price is different depends on the floor and the unit facing. Loan amount can be from roughly RM399k to RM500k plus.

after review all available project in batu kawan, ceria seem to be some kind of affordable house? affordable housing in island offer better deal than this.
