@Ayda amalina
@Lee Ai Sim
The developer will send you the offer letter if you are selected for the affordable housing.

@Lee Ai Sim

if affordable house you mean 300k. then you wait the project sold all the open unit. after that they sell a certain threshold of their state units. Then the leftover unit where no one wants to buy, developer will allocate those unit to government. From there, you will wait government’s letter to inform you if you’re selected or not. Give and take 1 and half years more to go for you.

please pm details

I’m interested in this project, please pm

Interested in 1000sqft, please pm

I heard this project completion date only 3 years? Is this real?

@Kim

Yup, developer estimated and committed completion only take 3 years. By far the best and fastest developer in Penang island I think. The rest is 4 years.

PM Interested …

Hi, is this still available?

HI, THIS STILL AVAILABLE?

@Ken Ng

@ALYNA

Yes, available, developer no need agent to sell. So can directly just go to their office to enquire.

@Ken Ng

Thanks thanks. I manage to secure a unit last week. Luckily still got choices. Developer only start selling recently. Really find no agent selling this, need go developer office during working hours

want to ask anyone letting go unit #8? pls let me know. whichever floor is ok.

where is the developer office?

@KK
The developer’s office is at 86 Avenue.

@CY

Thanks !! found it.

I’m still interested in unit #8, anyone letting go pls notify, prefer mid~high floor thxx

@Alvin

If this project allow agent sell, sure sold out within days but what’s the point… let the agent earn high commission only. Good project no need agent push and facebook ads

May I know what is the selling price of the open unit?

@TH Khor
Only those project over 1M need to advertise.
The Cube is alike Mezzo/Queens waterfront but sell with affordable price. Anyhow, the Zen still the best development in this decade as you wouldn’t get any seaview for The Cube.

@Hee Chan
well said…Zen is way too underpriced during the launch. Congratulations to all the buyers

@Hee Chan
The Zen buyer all has very small d… why so insecure? running around telling people your condo is good. It won’t really make your condo good, it just look cheaper now after reading your comments

@YL
540k

I went to the developer office to apply but was told the state housing unit starting price is RM480k and not RM300 as advertised. They only have “upgraded package” which is around 1000sqft instead of 850sqft. Anyone face this issue or any advise for me. First time home buyer here. Thanks

Is this location ok? I used to passby that road and the jam was crazy, especially during lunch hours. I got stuck for almost half an hour just for a small stretch and since then avoided using that road. May I know why is this project a good sell and why should I consider this project?

May I know is the price they offered RM480k for affordable housing is correct as I went to the office and they told me they dont offer RM300k for now. Should I agree to such a price for my first property as I was looking for affordable housing unit around 300k

@Emily

No need to buy. If you think that road is jam, you can’t stay in Penang. Try look for projects at Simpang Ampat or Nibong Tebal area.

@Sam

No affordable projects in Penang Island offer 300k. Only government offer rm300k. Of course, if you pay 300k, you get 300k. It’s the same for all other affordable homes project in Penang Island.

Not sure why you sound so sour, I am a penangites and looking for my own home now. I took in many factors before deciding which project to get as I am getting for my own stay and long term. I been staying my whole life in Penang. But I just curious why there are many people eying for this project eventho the jam is terrible around this area

@Khai

@Emily

I might come off as rude, but to be honest, I’m dead serious. If you think that road is jam, you literally can’t stay in Penang at all. Maybe that day you drive that road got accident or event. Or else, you aren’t making any sense.

But if you’re not joking, and is a serious buyer. Just a few factor why The Cube is a good buy. 1) Low Density, 2) Low Density. 3) Prime location. It’s Jelutong and is DTL (Daerah Timur Laut). 4) extremely underpriced when considering Specs and Location. 5) 2 carparks no tandemn 6) near to amenities (hypermarket, school, clinics, food, etc. all within 5mins WALK). 7) No traffic congestion 8) The rest u can do more research. Again, low density at such prime location. Totally best value project at the moment and possibly in history. You cant even find such low density project in lousy location like Bayan Lepas or Batu Feringghi

8) freehold.

@Khai
Wow…very well said. No Jam. Prime location. OMG.
You think this is Queens waterfront + Quayside? lol.

Honest my side opinion as below.
10 floors of carpark hmmm…you know.
House with this price ok well acceptable.
Location well some say prime some just congested. It’s congested & bossku tailor area & not even a road but just a Lorong lane with one lane access in & out. Those staying surrounding should know.
Low density? Ok for affordable house 2arce land with less than 400 units ok but 1 to 5th floors are commercial well up to individual justify…
Reason why selling like hot cakes probably for those want to stay nearby town area. Another reason maybe some buyers thought this is first affordable house with balcony glass panel. So, with glass panel more class? Pls check out value of 86 avenue that should be answered all doubt. 300k house won’t come with 2 CP. Those 480k only 2 cp but 10 floors anyway.

@Khai
Lol… you’re so good willing to list those out… as Homebuyers, they should do homework themselves ma… If i were u, i will just ask a simple question.

Don’t care location lousy or no lousy, entire penang island. got project with this specs and low density, somemore give 2 carparks, sell at this low price ma? If don’t have ma got answer liao lo. no need ask so much

@Khai
Agreed on those good selling points on this project.
But how about the back ground and any history record on this developer? This should be the primary factor for those intend to purchase rather than high levels of cp, down stair having commercial, congested area etc.

One of the way to kill the overthinking

@WC_Ong

@Owner

@Khai

Yes, this is what I meant actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s a prime area or not, the key question here is about the jam. I was stuck for almost 20 min going to Taman Free School using that road, it was just a small stretch of road and the jam was crazy, with no accident but just a normal lunch hour (which happened a few times). The road is so narrow and has only one lane. How would this one lane cater to so many new residents? It doesn’t matter if it’s low or high dense, it wouldn’t solve or answer the congestion issue if this building was finally completed. It is a good value for money property but some of us take into account many factors. If they could solve the issue then it would be great. Some of us, like me, are here to ensure we bought our first property with due diligence, not here to argue. To spend almost half a million is a lot for some of us. It’s not about oh then don’t buy, then don’t stay here, then don’t use that road. It’s about ensuring we don’t fall into the trap and regret it later. Some people are concerned about the workmanship, some want better facilities, and some want peace of mind; all of us are different and have different needs when comes to buying property.

@WC_Ong

The reason why I am here is to seek answers and get clarification. and I appreciate all the answers given by everyone here especially Khai for listing out few key points for my consideration.

@Emily
Traffic congestion is normal in Penang. I have to repeat, if you can’t accept traffic congestion, you can’t stay in Penang island. Moreover I said many times. This is a prime location. Common sense there will be traffic congestion. What do you think about Gurney? Is it a good location? Do you think there’s no traffic congestion there?

@Emily
By the way, I stay in Jelutong for 15 years already. Until now I still don’t see traffic congestion here. if you mean wait traffic light or a lot of cars. Then yes, it is traffic congested. There is human in this area. A lot of humans. It is prime location

@Emily
Another simple question to fix your issue with traffic congestion in this area. This question is also very simple. Please answer. Can you please name an area in Penang Island that is not traffic congested?

To be honest, as a Penangites, traffic congestion is the very very last thing to consider when buying a house. Not sure why are you even thinking this as priority. This is almost like you’re looking for a car in Malaysia that doesn’t need to pay roadtax.

@Emily
Depends on where you are working at. Bayan Lepas? Its not that bad. Can use highway and the only jam is in sg pinang traffic light. After that there are multiple road entry you can use to go back home without going through any other traffic light.
Even the wait time at jalan perak traffic light doesnt seems that bad/acceptable, unless you are coming from jalan free school at peak hour.
If you are working in town area, then it doesnt really matter where you stay. Youre going to experience 30 min jam

@Emily
Personally Im more concern on the commercial lot below the condo and the building surrounding the area. Dont think it will do well or can attract quality business to open up and its has 5 commercial floor.

@PP
> Bayan Lepas? Its not that bad

haha, try going around the big roundabout, u will know whats the real congestion in penang.

For upgrade Price of 480k /540k, i prefer The Zen (can get with 430K-550K open mkt), it’s attractive only for affordable unit of 300k bare unit, but the cap park level at 9th / 10th level is very inconvenient for user.

@Emily
Buying a property can be an overwhelming experience, especially if you are a first-time homebuyer.
The number one factor to consider is background of the developer.
Purchasing projects under construction carries the risks of delays, or the possibility of the project being abandoned.
Buying from a reputable developer with strong financials and a proven track record helps minimize the risks.
After that then only consider other factors like land title, location, environment, traffic flow, pricing, facility, bank loan and so on…

@KC
Don’t compare with The Zen/Zen6. The Zen series is another level than The cube project.
Perfect carpark floor as only 4 to 5th floor with super prime location & those 480k come with seaview/bridge view.
Overall Zen is perfect & same as Queens concept except no balcony. As of Zen6 price may shoot up soon.
Cube is little same as The Muze with high level of carpark floor but congested traffic with old building around.

@PP
Why would anyone choose this area if working in Bayan Lepas? Wont it be a long way home with multiple traffic jam during rush hours? And located near schools, if you dont have children going to those schools, it totally doesnt make sense to stay nearby as you should know how bad the traffic will be during school start/end hours.

@KC
Yes, 10 levels of multistorey carpark is a problem. It’s ok if you get assigned 1 to 4 floor (typically tolerable by most), but higher than that, you might have problem selling your house later when buyers get to choose what they buy at what price with carpark on which floor.

@KC
You pay what you get. 300k at such prime location and good specs, of course your carpark will be at 9th/10th floor.

@KC
Lol bro.. you ok or not? That project is ultra-high dense beehives of 2000 units and lousy location

@Owner
Quayside and Queens starting price is 480k for 1000squarefeet? Are you lost? Did you comment at wrong place?

@Santorinii
I’m not lost. It is just the location different but with same product. The cube has glass panel type of balcony which is similar like Queens & almost same size as well. That’s why selling like hot cakes. Got people mentioned The cube is one of best property in the history for affordable category so is comparable like Quayside in north & Queens at South.

@Emily
Got 3 SJK(C) Primary school nearby, 2 of them at walking distance.
And a Heng Ee Secondary High school somemore.

1 Bandar Baru super market just opposite of your house, and a lot hawker nearby. Also very near to Perak Road Pasar & Free school.

Exit wise, you can exit through Jelutong Express then you will be in Lim CHong Eu Express in no time already.

@foxy

Actually, nope, I was staying nearby there since I born, already decade I go Bayan Lepas and back for study collage and work.

Most of the traffic is going into Georgetown in morning (opposite of your going), and going out from Georgetown in evening (also opposite of your going once you passed the junction to 1st bridge).

The only jam part is from flyover outside Keysight until outside of Queensbay, which is almost the same even you stay in Bayan Lepas area due to more traffic light and queue you waiting, I averagely reach my workplace in 20minutes, go home 40minutes.

@PP
If she stay The Cube, she no need go thru Sungai Pinang Traffic also, as well direct going down Jelutong express and exit at Jelutong to highway. I believe will be much faster too.

@juju
Yes, people often having impression that working in Bayan Lepas = Best stay in Bayan Lepas, I got a colleague who stay at Golden Triangle, he come to office more or less just like my timing or even slower due to he got more traffic light than me LOL.
The cube will even faster due to Sungai Pinang traffic light already took you 10minutes, so if you skipped that using Jelutong Express, will be 10min to Bayan Lepas only.

@AG
I have to say, all the AG or The Zen buyers has small d…. very insecure about their condo. Keep running around talking about how good their project is. Trying to hide the fact they are super ultra-high density condo with 2000 units, selling at above average price despite lousy location. Get a life please, if you make a decision you regret, sell it. No need to spread false information trying to heighten your mistake

@Islander
I think if you stay around queensbay area or bayan baru (many new condos) and maybe around airport (many new Ideal condos there), you should be able to reach home from work within 20 minutes. But of course, if you grow up in Jelutong, you tend to hv relatives/parents staying in Jelutong too, so that’s probably your primary selection.

@foxy

It depends on which side you stay and work in Bayan Lepas, it can be very far due to a big long airport chock between FTZ4.

If you work at Keysight or Plexus side, going back Jelutong might be faster than you go back Havana.

If you stay Sungai Ara and need to go Diamond Valley to work, also good luck to you.

@Islander
If FTZ, why not just consider buy Quaywest or Zen6? I believe much nearer & close to Queensbay mall & even go market also quite near like Lipsin Sungai Dua. The location is quite peaceful & close to seaside. Very much easy access to work/play/shopping & plenty of amenities nearby too.

@juju @Islander
Im just asking if she is working at bayan lepas, not implying that she should choose to stay at bayan lepas area. I was thinking the same and there is alot of road you can use going into jelutong. Consider the traffic there acceptable la

Penang traffic jam is very common and hectic daily, its the right time and the right place that you won’t get stuck, Perak Road and Jelutong have times which are less traffic compare to peak hours. I stay Jelutong many years, I work in Bayan Lepas, normal traffic during 8am onwards, finish work 5pm, jam at Perak Road and Jelutong not so hectic as well.

Do you think this place worth investing for renting out or preferably for own stay?

@Samual
Jelutong is mostly a place for the locals, rentals wont be fantastic. For better rental returns, tanjung tokong or gurney, but just be mindful not to buy overpriced properties there.

@Khai
True… 100% agree.

@Ooi Seng Kee
True… 100% agree. It’s much better than Queens waterfront/Muze/Quayside or The light.

@Khai
If only this is not penangpropertytalk but Malaysiapropertytalk, I believe under Sarawak project also u can see AG insecureness comparing their Zen seaview with Sarawak Crocodile river.

@Ooi Seng Kee

1. Going FTZ to work, yes.

2. Going back from FTZ to work, not much different as the main jam is before you enter to Queensbay area. If you can entering Queensbay area you already quite less of jam.

3. Queensbay Mall and Lipsin look near because it’s pretty empty around Zen right now, but it’s not as near as walking distance, anyhow you also need to drive, you might have small traffic outside Queensbay mall or when going in, or even outside supertanker traffic light. The cube within 5min of walk I can reach Bandar Baru supermarket and some hawkers already.

4. I don’t know if you are one of the AG doomposters, why not mention Q1 Q2? But anyway, I don’t often promote Jelutong or somewhere, just everyone should come to realize that Zen location is not as convenient as it looks, those who know them know.

5. The cube is under affordable pricing, location wise might suitable for those who living with family and elders, I agree that the investment won’t be as good as Zen/Quaywest but definitely a better prime location than Zen/Quaywest if you buy for own stay with family.

@Chew Wong
i never said that… probably another loser trying to promote their project again

@Islander
Agreed. The reason I compared those are almost similar price which still in affordable range. Q1 &Q2 I don’t think a working class able to reach now as price almost 1M starting onwards that’s why I don’t mention that. That project is alike Quayside condo in straits quay.

@Chew Wong
Why you say loser? Don’t try to manipulate.
The cube is good & suitable for you. Queens Muze Light straits quay is for successful person only but not you lol

@Chew Wong
Loser because you need to imitate someone, got no guts to use your own name. Loser because you need to promote your project in other project’s page. Loser because you are so insecure of your own projects. This is The Cube page, we should discuss The Cube. If you really so scared your project lose The Cube, go ask your management take good care of the building. Not running around and spam at penangpropertytalk saying your project very good.

@Ooi Seng Kee
You’re comparing apple to oranges. This is kinda pointless. They are different price mark and they are offering different specs. At this point, it’s really up to individual. Personally, I would rather be homeless than staying near qb. That place is slowly filling up with bangla/indonesian roaming and the everlasting raya pesta. Queensbay mall is so much inferior to gurney plaza. Not to mention, Zens are the worst possible project to consider, it is located at such an awkward place, and yet so highly density. Somehow, buyer could still accept such defects at high prices like 400k per unit. It’s crazy. 2000 units of 400k price mark. This is daylight robbery.

@Chew Wong
When you start to serious then definitely lose already. The forum is widely open for free discussion. Everyone has their own view & opinion. It’s correct right? The Cube is affordable house range same as The Zen. That’s why got under affordable scheme & open market unit. Those high-end are different product which is beyond your reach. Just accept the fact.
