Kuchai Avenue, Kuala Lumpur

Filed under: Developers, New Launches

The first phase of this project, Avenue I, was launched in late November, and has now since been sold out. The second phase, Avenue III, was launched yesterday.

Altogether, there are 3 towers in this project, with, giving a total of 600 plus units. The first phase had 272 units, with 17 floors and 16 units per floor. This current launch, phase 2, consists of fewer units (202) mainly due to having fewer floors.

The development is set on a massive 5 acre plot of previously vacant land. On the plot beside it, the developers are currently building a medium size commercial area with shoplots (Kuchai Business Park), and it looks like the response to it was overwhelming, typical with the demand for retail space in this area. Kuchai Avenue will itself be a commercial development, there are shops on the ground floor of the entire area. The parking for the commercial area is located on a basement floor. Above the shops are a few levels of parking for the condo, followed by the condo units.

The condo is located in Jalan Kuchai Lama, a very established and matured neighbourhood on the outskirts of the city. This piece of land is surrounded by existing condos, low-cost middle rise apartment, a small green hill (with landed homes on the other side) and generally old residentials and shops that define the character of places like Kuchai Lama.

Kuchai Lama has always seen as a connecting part of Old Klang Road, Taman Gembira, and Sungai Besi. It is also very near to the newer Sri Petaling, and also to KESAS and the National Stadium and TPM from there on. Accessibility to the highways (North-South Highway, LDP, KESAS, NPE), city and suburbs (Bangsar, PJ, Subang Jaya, Mid-Valley) work in favour for this development. For LRT, the nearest station is Salak Selatan.

For all its plus points going for it, there is but only one unit type. It’s a standard 3-roomer, 2 baths, 935sq.ft. The layout is designed such to appeal to a wider spectrum of buyers, from small families, to renters, to bachelors, and to investors. The masterbedroom isn’t big, but they’ve made an alcove to suitable for a walk-in wardrobe. The show unit exemplifies to good idea to conceal the entrance to the attached bath with it. The second toilet is pretty small, not to mention bedroom 3. There’s a balcony, and both the dry and wet kitchen are reasonably sized.

The developers are throwing in lots of freebies (terms and conditions apply, of course) in the unit to make up for a somewhat Spartan condo facilities. Aside from a small swimming and wading (shared by all towers) and a playground, there isn’t much amenities, although it looks like it isn’t from a lack of space. Perhaps the developers have skimped on that aspect to keep the prices and maintenance fee more affordable, plus that with all the amenities surrounding the development, it may not look to obvious. Plus with the shops at the ground floor, so convenience isn’t a particularly big issue.

There are three entry and exit points planned.

The façade of the condo is dominated (and slightly marred) by the 5 or so levels of parking above ground. This is probably in part unavoidable due to difficulty in excavating to deep for foundation works because of its proximity to surrounding buildings and roads. There is only one level of basement as mentioned earlier.

From the marketing angle, they are targeting newlyweds and young couples, obviously drawing from the large market of surrounding areas. This ‘upgrade’ strategy should work well for them, any sizable land is pretty scarce around here, plus getting outsiders to move in here would more likely be a harder sell.

Price for the first phase was from RM146,500 onwards, but it does not include any parking bays. One bay can be bought for RM20,000, which brings the price to RM166,500. Since most people would need one parking bay per unit (at the very least), we’ve added the cost to the unit when comparing with other condos, as it would be a fair comparison. With that the unit would cost from RM178psf onwards. However, for this latest phase, the price has increased RM5,000 per unit, making the price from RM171k to RM190k, or RM183psf to RM203psf.

Price of the last phase is expected to be higher. Residents are limited to buying 2 parking bays only. The streets around the development, as narrow and congested as they are already, will be further choked with street parkers.

Kuchai Avenue its strong points, the proximity to the city and accessibility are some of them. However, Kuchai Lama isn’t everybody cup of tea (unless, as you mentioned, you’re upgrading from within the area), but we have no doubt it will do well, especially when the neighbouring business park is completed and in full swing. We’re not particular fond of serviced apartments, especially ones with shopping on the lower floors, but here it isn’t really a shopping centre like Beverly Towers, Tropics or Axis Residency in Ampang, just one level of walk in retail space. Price wise, it is quite strongly structured, but reflective of the above mentioned pros.

Maintenance fee is 13sen psf, equivalent to RM121 per unit for each units. The developer recently launched Dynasty Garden in nearby Old Klang Road, some of you might notice the similarities in their marketing strategy, as if getting Hong Kong stars like Kenny Bee is unmistakable.

  1. Stil see the Developer actively promoting Dynasty Condo. in shopping complexes around Old Klang Road / Sri Petaling area. Perhaps a sign of many unsold units. Granted that Dynasty Condo. is leasehold but I think that the commercial lots will have better potential. Too many residential units coming up around that area. Even heard that Sim Nam has deffered Block C of Gembira Park.

  2. actually phase 1 sold off pretty fast here, and with only 600+ i dun think they’ll have a problem selling out. i heard the same thing about dynasty condo too, i guess they still need more time there.

  3. This will be my 1st property purchase thus would like to seek the advise from the experts around here.

    1. Service apartments -> Condos on commercial land. Understand that for service apartments, the electricity and water bill will be higher than normal condos. Question: How much higher - percentage wise?

    2. Access via smart cards -> to swip 4 different times b4 reaching unit (guardhouse, parking, lift, actual level lived on). Question: What about visitors parking - will there be any?

    3. Shops at ground floor -> Looking at Pearl Point - the state of the mall also affects the price and the appeal of the apartment (in Pearl Point case, it was sad to see that both seemed “low end”). Question: Is there a condition to the type of business conducted at the ground floor? Why? Cos for example: mechanics shop or car enhancement shops will not only take up parking space but also attracts unwanted youngsters pimping their cars and is usually noisy

    4. Maintenance fee at RM121 - and this is for a swimming pool and playground? Will there be scheduled sweeping and mopping of corridors? What else is included in the fee?

    Appreciate the developer / administrator’s advise on the above.

    Many thanks.

  4. Vickie Lai why don’t you ask the developer directly…? They are the best source of information for your query with regards to maintenance, car park etc.

    1. Service apartments -> Condos on commercial land. Understand that for service apartments, the electricity and water bill will be higher than normal condos. Question: How much higher - percentage wise?

    Depends on a few factors like the tariff code etc. if I’m not mistaken!

    Here is an example for electricity:-
    Residential
    Total Consumption (kWh): 100
    RM 21.80

    Commercial
    Tariff B
    Total Consumption (kWh): 100
    RM 28.80

    Commercial
    Tariff C1
    Total Consumption (kWh): 100
    Maximum Demand (KW): 100
    RM 1,973.40

    Your quit rent and assessment will also be higher.

    Quit rent in Kuala Lumpur is calculated at 65 sen psm for residential land and RM4 psm for commercial land. So you do the maths :D

    Here is a nice article to read up on http://www.theedgedaily.com/cms/content.jsp?id=com.tms.cms.article.Article_20735

    TNB Electricity Tariff Calculator is here http://www.tnb.com.my/tariff/calc.htm

  5. vickie lai,

    i hope you understand we’re independent reviewers and have nothing to do with the developer (or any other developer for that matter) and as aaron said, some of these things are best to be directed to the developer or their sales representatives.

    1. see above reply
    2. pls check with developer
    3. pls check with developer. Usually the rental rate is one way to control the quality of tenants.
    4. again, pls check with developer. Here’s the part where your S&P and DMC (if there’s one) play a VERY important role. and also the biggest reason why some people don’t prefer serviced apartments…

    Comment by Administrator — January 9, 2007 @ 4:52 pm

  6. Hi all,

    Many thanks for the replies. Went back yesterday (Sunday) to check out the place again and to also have the queries answered. For the benefits of those wanting to purchase Kuchai Avenue, here are the answers:

    1. Service apartment = condos on commercial land -> Yes, electricity and water bills will be higher than those on residential land and in percentage wise: ~10% higher. The plus point for Kuchai Avenue is that it’s a freehold property.

    2. Access via smartcards -> There’ll be a visitor parking at the basement of the building. Visitors will need to report to guardhouse and calls will be made to resident. Upon approval, guests will be allowed to enter.

    3. Shops at ground floor -> According to the developer, there’s a standard term in the contract / agreement that shop lots cannot be used for car maintenance sort of business and should mostly be F&B based, convenient stores, etc.

    4. Maintenance fee at RM121 -> Confirmed that there will only be a swimming pool and playground. Also the entire building will be wi-fi-ed.

    Am happy to say that I’ve placed my booking. Although the price is kinda steep for a 935sf, must say that the location is good and convenient with quick access to highways.

    Thanks all for your replies.

    Comment by Vickie Lai — January 15, 2007 @ 9:54 am

  7. my doubts is just like vickie’s , I hv paid RM2000.00 but received many negative comments from firends & relatives. It make my mind messy.

    vickie may I know why you hv booked the unit ? just because of easy access to highway ? commercial title, higher water electricity bills, quit rent is not the problem ?

    hv you sign the S&P ? & loan aggreement ?

    Comment by ivy ong — January 16, 2007 @ 7:27 pm

  8. Hi all,
    I’ve also booked a unit on Phase II, i guess i’ve the same doubt like Ivy & Vicky. But i guess since is freehold, in long run should be quite worth it. Moreover, is not easy to get a place so centralized & easy to get to KL, PJ & Sunway via so many access, hardly can get a good place with the price we are paying now.

    Comment by Irene — January 19, 2007 @ 11:16 am

  9. anybody knows what is accessment fees , is how many % of unit value ?
    is worth to buy or not ?

    Comment by ivy ong — January 19, 2007 @ 11:45 am

  10. Hi Ivy,

    What sort of negative comments did you get?

    Actually to me, the location is already very strategic. Kinda hard to find a place so convenient at this kind of price (altho a bit steep for a 935sf).

    Comment by Vickie Lai — January 22, 2007 @ 11:49 pm

  11. Greeting to all house onwer/house holder Infact housing loan is long term investment therefore pick up the rite bank n rite loan is very important. like it or not u have to be with the bank for at least 5yrs.

    Comment by Jack chong (Banker) 012 344 8486 — January 24, 2007 @ 8:00 pm

  12. In fact, i have bought a unit as well. So, what are the negative comments? Beside the developer is new in the market and it’s serviced apartment. I personally still think it’s a very strategic location and good investment.

    Comment by bryan — January 28, 2007 @ 1:58 pm

  13. Got to know from my friend that there are new development coming up at that location. Price within RM350K, built-up is approximately 1,800sq ft, free hold land with full club house facilities. Only 4 units per floor with 2 lifts. Sound like very exclusive. Is that a good buy? Should I wait for this development to launch instead of making a fast decision on the current available developments in the same location?

    Comment by May — January 31, 2007 @ 5:43 pm

  14. Hi Hi,

    I am new here. Well i had place a visit to their site office and talked to the salesman. Guess what, the salesman told me that the selling price is include the car parking and the middle phase is being “booked” by the so called “korean company” which will give away for their staff benefit and this block will not sold to the public.

    I was so happy that i can have korean “nice neighbourhood” and with such RM146,000 i can own a house with a car park.

    However, according to my brother, (who also do a visit to their site) the selling price is not include the car park, each car park cost RM20k due to seperate agreement. ie one S & P for the house and one agreement for the car park.

    I was argue with my brother and we do make a call according to the number display in the catalogue, and the nice guy clarify that the display price is not include the car park fee…….

    see……. my brother is true on it and the salesman that deal with me one is “cheating” me.

    Q: how come each of the salesman give different info to the potential buyer? just because they want to grap the sales?

    Comment by girl girl — March 11, 2007 @ 10:45 pm

  15. wondering the completion date is it too long , 2009 ? almost 2 years to go….since we still need to pay the interest for it.
    I heard the rental rate over this area ranging from 800 to 1000….is this a good rate if considering for investment purpose?

    Comment by laishenq — March 28, 2007 @ 3:45 pm

  16. all apartment projects note 36 months to complete in the SPA. it usually completes slightly earlier than that.

    Comment by Administrator — March 28, 2007 @ 6:08 pm

  17. Hey guys, I have booked a unit on the last phase Avenue II, according to the agent, electricity and water bill will be seperated from the shops below, but I have no idea about the assessment fees and quit rent. I am quite happy about my unit, no block at all and can see full KL view :)

    Comment by ivan — April 8, 2007 @ 10:02 pm

  18. Hi All!!! Me and my husband has also just confirm a unit on the Second phase Avenue III. Can anyone suggest which Banking Loan is the best for now? Was quite happy with my choice too… Stayed in Kuchai Lama for almost one year and quite happy with the location and surrounding area, due to the easy-accessibility and chinese people area.

    Comment by muingee — April 9, 2007 @ 3:40 am

  19. Hi girl girl, do u still remember what is the name of the salesman u encountered with? How come they cheated u on that important things? I had visited their show house three times before I jump into conclusion, luckily i got the information from net surfing before goes into the show room.

    Comment by muingee — April 9, 2007 @ 3:45 am

  20. Hi, I also just booked a unit on the Second Phase Avenue III. Currently I’m looking for Banking Loan also. Initially I wanted to take the Hong Leong bank which gives blr-1.38% however it is just for completed construction. Not sure whether they offer for undergoing construction. Then, after keep on looking on others bank, i found out UOB offers not bad housing loan http://www1.uob.com.my/assets/pdf/loan/IHL.pdf. whole tenure is blr-1.38% legal fees borne by bank. Note: Bonding period - 5 years from date of first disbursement. Terms & Conditions apply. Not sure what is the Bonding period is?? anyone can tell ?? If this one not suitable to u, the panel bank also not bad, blr-1.25% whole tenure, flexible repayment to shorten loan tenure and no charge on extra repayments.. it said DAILY Rest Interest Calculation ?? Anyone can tell what is that ?

    Comment by kokkeong — April 9, 2007 @ 3:52 am

  21. I went to the uob, the blr-1.38% package is not for Kuchai Avenue. So we can’t take that one. however u can choose to take blr-1.50 but u have to pay for the legal fees. legal is around 5k plus for 181k unit. So far, uob is the lowest interest rate i can get.

    Comment by kokkeong — April 9, 2007 @ 5:46 pm

  22. Hi Kok Keong, I called UOB too. But the banker said they can only give us 80% loan amount (for non-landed property), in which we have to pay for 20% downpayment first. The interest rate is somewhat different from what you said. 1st year-15 years is BLR-1.35%, thereafter is BLR -1.45%. How about the MRTA thing? Did u planning to purchase the MRTA as well?

    Comment by muingee — April 9, 2007 @ 8:13 pm

  23. By the way, I heard HSBC also offering competitive rate for housing loan. I will be talking to the sales rep tomorrow.

    Comment by muingee — April 9, 2007 @ 8:24 pm

  24. Hi muingee, i think the uob branch u went is sucks. Please try the branch in puchong. the rate u mentioned is old rate. u tellthem, it is updated online. the uob puchong branch offering 90% loan and 95% on mrta. MRTA is a must buy thingy and it is worth to buy also.. mrta is either u loan or u pay urself. if you want to waive the legal fees.. consider the panel bank.. they offer me 95% loan .. i going to get the ambank’s package tomolo. will be at kuchai avenue sales office to give the related documents…

    Comment by kokkeong — April 9, 2007 @ 11:03 pm

  25. the puchong branch also know the new rate by today.. so.. i don’t think the uob branch u mentioned know it.

    Comment by kokkeong — April 9, 2007 @ 11:13 pm

  26. Hi Kok Keong, if however UOB is offering you to take blr-1.50 but have to pay for the legal fees, i guess it’s much better with panel bank, Ambank which provides blr - 1.25% correct? Afterall, the legal fees is still much cheaper if u compare it with both bank’s interest. Anyway, I might pull off the purchase of the Apartment due to some circumstances.

    Comment by muingee — April 10, 2007 @ 10:32 am

  27. Hi muingee,
    Yah, i already took the ambank offers. mind to share why u pull off ?

    Comment by kokkeong — April 10, 2007 @ 5:05 pm

  28. Do you guys pay interest only for 2 years before completion or paid principal as well?

    Comment by ivan — April 12, 2007 @ 9:37 pm

  29. hi ivan, in the 2 years only pay the interests but if let say the project completed 70% can request and pay the principal as well. guess every bank also the same coz this project is by commencement.. not upon completed

    Comment by kok keong — April 13, 2007 @ 3:00 pm

  30. this is my first property, mind to share if this is worth for waiting 2 years?

    Comment by ivan — April 14, 2007 @ 12:43 pm

  31. hmm.. this is my first property as well. i’d been to few properties before at puchong or cheras area. This property provide the best design and materials. (partial furnished) if you are asking whether it is worth for waiting, i guess year 2009 is the best time for me to pay for the house and i don’t mind to pay for 2 years of interests coz it is in my budget and planning. and it is hard to get new property with freehold tenure after 2 years within that area or even in kl.

    Comment by kok keong — April 15, 2007 @ 3:28 am

  32. Hi Kok Keong, what do you mean by “partial furnished”? air-conds, water heaters? Well, may I know what are the gifts for earlybirds in the last phase now? Thanks! :)

    Comment by Lee — April 16, 2007 @ 1:50 pm

  33. Partial furnished - your bathroom everything furnished (u only need to install the mirror), skirting ready, water heather ready, 3 point of a/c with piping, ceramic tiles, grille (entrance and balcony) .. er .. what else ? things u need to do before moved in are grille at yard, lightings, and kitchen cabinet. my unit free 1 unit aircond, the last phase free 2 units of aircond. (early birds gift)

    Comment by Kok keong — April 16, 2007 @ 2:05 pm

  34. Hi guys I’ve booked a unit in Avenue 1. Have to agree with Kok Keong that the developer is willing to give quality materials like 800mmX800mm homogeneous floor tiles for the living, dining and kitchen area. Timber flooring for the bedrooms etc. Have been to many show units and would say that this has the best layouts and materials for that price range.

    Comment by kon — April 16, 2007 @ 4:57 pm

  35. Hi Kon, Again totally agreed with you.

    Comment by Kok keong — April 16, 2007 @ 6:33 pm

  36. i purchased a unit in the last phase, however found out that there is a surau just next to it. i wonder whether it will be too noisy??

    Comment by chee — April 19, 2007 @ 11:46 pm

  37. So the actual price include the parking lot are how much??

    Comment by wayne — April 20, 2007 @ 7:19 pm

  38. Hi Chee I think the surau you are mentioning is located at the nearby low cost flats. I have a friend staying in nearby Tropicana Condo who advised that it will not be noisy, so no worries. Wayne, prices for the last phase starts from RM161,500.00 add RM20K for parking. Guys any updates from the site? Anybody knows when they will finish pilling and start construction?

    Comment by kon — April 21, 2007 @ 9:28 am

  39. Can any one advise me, which one is the best bank, i just book with payment 2K. i check all the message, so it that Ambank( panel) is what you guys recomment

    Comment by Jeci — April 21, 2007 @ 9:21 pm

  40. if you buying first property i think u choose ambank (panel bank) it can give u 95% housing loan

  41. am bank is good …. tatatata dadada

    Comment by jerry — April 28, 2007 @ 12:55 pm

  42. hi guys, my name is rafe, im a uob mortgage officer… i just wanted to update you guys our bank new rates, but we only can give 80% loan because of its not a landed property.
    Our new rates are BLR - 1.38% for non zero cost and 1-2year = Fixed rate 4.88%, Thereafter BLR-1.5%.
    If you guys are interested or have any question to ask me, you may call this number : (Rafe Chow)012-3989327.

    Thank you!

    Comment by Rafe Chow(UOB BANKER) — May 25, 2007 @ 3:48 am

  43. According to kon’s information, selling price of RM 161,500.00 + RM 20,000.00 car park (phase 3)was equivalent to RM194/sf. The rate is at the high side and there are plenty choice out there for this range.

    The area is convinient for access to main road but the roads surronding the area are relatively small. With this type of huge development located at the center of Kuchai Lama with one car park (if you pay extra)each unit, it will again problems of double parking or all kind of parking style surranding the properties.

    For own stay and 1st home buyer (small family), this is a good choice (instead of paying rent). For investment, I foreseen less or breakeven with the month installment.

    If you are type of person looking for life quality, then there are many better choices out there. Overall, the area is still fine. If you like to hang out with your freind for teh tarik or kopitiam style restaurant, here is a good place to stay.

    Good luck!

    Comment by Stanley — May 28, 2007 @ 6:26 pm

  44. Just booked 1 unit at the showroom just now. RM 156,500 + RM 20,000(parking)= RM176,500. Only freebie I got is an air-cond for the master bedroom. The unit is facing North. Partial KLCC view but will face another block. I think block with lesser unit per floor.

    Comment by JW — June 3, 2007 @ 10:52 pm

  45. Can anyone tell me more about the developer(Akisama)?and how much is the maintenance fees?is RM133/month or RM122/month?

    Comment by JM — June 5, 2007 @ 11:54 am

  46. Hi, Can anyone let me know why the suppose date to complete that should be 2009, now have change to 2010. THis will be 3 years from now… not very nice.

    Comment by Jeci — June 5, 2007 @ 11:00 pm

  47. Jeci, where u get the information from?

    Comment by JM — June 6, 2007 @ 9:44 am

  48. Hmm after long consideration, I might wanna cancel the booking since the electric and water tariff will be something like commercial tariff. 600units cramped in that place will be very congested. Imagine during morning sure everyone will jammed the elevator to go work, school and etc. The maintenance is RM133/m. They told me this prop should complete by June 2009.

    Comment by JW — June 10, 2007 @ 2:26 pm

  49. The agent told me that the electric and water traffic would be based on normal residential billing price.He even showed me the newspaper advertisement stating that it is based on residential billing price.

    Comment by JM — June 19, 2007 @ 5:45 pm

  50. Hi, JM. Does e&w really bill in residential price? which newspaper showing tat advertisement? I’d read tat the showroom will be destructed after 30 June 07 (for not interrupting the development progress). So has all the unit being sold out currently?

    Comment by Lee — June 21, 2007 @ 5:17 pm

  51. I dont think the ads is accurate as I spoken to ppl working with developer itself told me that it will based on commercial tariff. Anyway I have canceled my booking already as I found much more lower cost property and less congested.

  54. Guys, pass the site yesterday and noticed that construction is in full swing now. They have more or less completed the basement car park and work on the shop office had commenced. Heard that the contractor is working 24 hours.

  55. I noticed that kuchai avenue is very nearby the new highway.In future it would be very noisy and dusty.:

    Comment by JJ — January 29, 2008 @ 6:38 pm

  56. yes, kuchai avenue is surrounded by highways.. makes it quite convenient.

  57. I also worry about the construction status for the property as it is my first investment too. As at now, still remain at stage 20% since early 2007.

  58. yea.. the contruction on the piling normally will takes about a year , after that it will be very fast to complete

    Comment by Kok Keong — February 18, 2008 @ 9:52 pm

  59. yea, me too, quite worry,seems slow for the constuction..

    Comment by JJ — February 19, 2008 @ 1:52 pm

  60. exactly same feel, hope Kok Keong was right, however, I bought the unit by end of Jan 07, started to pay interest right away. I felt a bit slow on the project as is been a year. I hope they can be completed by end of 2009, not sure is that possible to complete by then with current status?

    I think the location is strategic and accessible but may not good in return as a lot of apartment around.

  61. akisama is the same developer for dynasty garden which expected to be finished by sept this year.. but my friend who bought a unit in dynasty garden already got the key and ready to move in by this june..

    Comment by Kok Keong — February 20, 2008 @ 11:35 pm

  62. Thx, I just reviewed the forum of Dynasty Garden, expected to be completed by Sept 08. However, if early completion will be a terrific news. If they can complete within 2 years (DG launched by year 2006?) means they can complete KA by year 2009. (KA launched at 2007)Oh yes, which month of year 2009 KA expected to be completed?

    Comment by Moshi — February 21, 2008 @ 10:55 am

  63. KA is expected to complete in June 2009. Also heard that the developer is financially strong. Kok Keong, did your friend view his/her unit in DG? How is the finishing?

  64. I thought Dynasty Garden have yet to complete, last stage I believe. Picture in the blog show : http://dynastygarden.blogspot.com/

  65. wkw, erm no updates from her yet.

    Comment by Kok Keong — February 23, 2008 @ 4:54 am

  66. i read the dynastygarden.blogspot.com, i understand that their air-cond piping is poor. im wondering, will kuchai avenue having same way of piping? tat’s really disappointed if they doing the same way.

    Comment by beckybee — March 17, 2008 @ 9:05 pm

  67. Hi beckybee, I saw the photos of the air cond trunking and I’m shocked. We must unite and tell the developer that this must not happen to kuchai avenue. Any buyers here could help set up a blog where we could discuss any issues about the development?

    Comment by wkw — March 18, 2008 @ 9:28 am

  68. Hi … any unit still available for sale?? I have ask the developer, they said ‘No’.. Is there anyone out there know somebody wanna to sale their unit?? thanks.

  69. I was passing by Kuchai Avenue last Saturday and only found out about this service aprtment. I’m looking for a place to stay as well and already caused a lot of headache and agruement between me and my wife. Well, nowaday is hard to find a nice place to stay. The developer office is located at Jalan Chan Sow Lin and thinking will pay them a visit within these days since the showroom already been destructed.

  70. Clement, if you need anymore information, i guess all guys here are willing to help.

    Comment by Moshi — March 31, 2008 @ 10:44 am

  71. i already been to the Akisama office. Well, now only 19 units left. According to the salesman, the tariff for E&W for the service apartment is diff from the shop below. Btw, for Dynasty, only 1 unit left.

    Comment by Clement — March 31, 2008 @ 5:31 pm

  72. I don’t think that the E&W charges will be different as the Service apartment is a commercial land. Therefore the E&W will be higher than residence area. Refer : ttp://www.theedgedaily.com/cms/content.jsp?id=com.tms.cms.article.Article_20735
