Tree Residency @ One Residence
“Less is more” is the design philosophy of notable architect Ludwig Mies van de Rohe. With the Tree Residency, the values of minimalism are fully exuded, conveying a sense of harmony that comes from simplicity.
The minimalism in Tree Residency, however, is not one of emptiness, but one that is out of the box, with bold use of lines, geometry and ratio instead of fluff to achieve a clean and elegant look. More importantly, the materials used to construct Tree Residency are environmentally friendly, as such bringing its inhabitants close to nature.
The overall design of Tree Residency is skewed towards garden living, with eight different designs to suit the different requirements of buyers. The club facility of Tree Residency is complete with badminton court, half-sized Olympic pool and other recreational facilities that will bring out the athlete in you.
Location : One Residence, Sungai Ara, Penang
Property Type : Corner Duplex, Link Duplex, Twin Villa
Land Tenure : Freehold
Total Units: 316
Developer : Ideal Property

I have a friend who is staying in D’Residence, they had made a security policy to have the security guard patrolling the ground every 3 hours in the DAY and every 1 hour during the night. They have also implements a card recording system on every house that the security needs to sign in. I think as when the community form a JMB, we can look into the security process to better secure the premises.
Construction workers will at least be there for the next couple of years since Ideal is developing the whole area. For one, they will be hanging around in close proximity till FV completes.
@Mookster
I plan to move in this year. Once OC’ed start to renovate. I don’t plan on lot’s of renovation.
Year end or b4 CNY is the same. 1st, this is the peak season for renovation and most contractors will be full of jobs. If you able to get one, they may not able to do a good jod in rush.
2nd, for a family, it is better to move during holiday. January school reopen and those preparation for CNY, you will have no time to move your house.
Also, year end is supposedly the peak season for property transaction. So, I will miss it as well because if I cannot move in, I can’t sell my existing condo.
Still hope TR can get VP by Aug.
After VP, the first thing is to check for defect and make the claim. If only minor items, can be done within 1 month. Major item will be longer. Only then, you can start your renovation. After your renovation started, some defect cannot be claimed anymore.
My existing condo took me 3-4 months to move in after VP. This is all under expediting mode and with little renovation. So, to move in by Dec this year, VP have to be not later than Aug.
That’s a good point Bryan. I think I’ll give few months to ensure all defects are detected and fixed.
Ya true. Let’s hope we can get the VP soon then
@Mookster
Thanks for your comment, agree, the most important thing is enforcement especially security is the main concern, the whole community has to work together and JMB has to be strong and committed to make a better place.
Sometimes, stay in such of community especially apartment, common area are a lot, cooperation and understanding are the challenge, it is hard to control and manage, therefore, rule and regulation are the key to make thing right, some residents may take thing for granted and their own interested. for instance, parking issue, rubbish issue, visitor entrance issue, delay or long unpaid maintenance fee and etc. there are many kind of people in various behaviour and mindset.
@Jezz
Hopefully. If VP in Aug, I will be able to move in by Dec. Interest of the loan is about 12K. If VP in Sep, I will only able to move in Mar next year. Loan interest is about 18K. Hopefully Ideal do me a favor to save 6K interest.
So, if they unable to deliver VP by Aug, then better only VP in Nov…… haha!
@Bryan
Agree that outsiders can still enter to access the facilities etc.
Good to know it is allowed, but if “force register” can be implemented, it is getting close to G&G. Typically even in G&G, the guard does not inquire further as long as register and state the unit to visit.
Very sad door grille, fire alarm etc are becoming a must ….. i used to stay in a so-called high-crime rate area when studying overseas. No problem even without all these
I think that it is good that we start discuss on how to make TR a better and safer place. In my current apartment, on top of register and state unit number, the guard will have to call the unit first through intercom to confirm. As there is no intercom (none right??), a similar system need to be used, for example security guards need to have the cell phone or home phone number of each house.
CCTV should be installed at least
1. 1 on each backyard
2. Few on darker spots at night, like around the clubhouse
If Ideal don’t install the CCTV, then JMB can propose on this later on. The effectiveness of the fence could be further increased by putting some sort like wire or laser (like Mission Impossible but I don’t know if there is such thing) triggering mechanism along the fence. Anybody (including cats) who crosses the fence will trigger the alarm system.
@owner
I am not sure about the actual law, but common sense tell me that you can’t force ppl to register to enter a public area.
The crime rate is a sad thing today in Malaysia, but we can choose to stay positive, and do our best to keep our self safe.
@owner
how come outsiders can enter to TR facilities? I thought the facilities should owned by TR residents. Please help to explain further?
@owner
The facilities of TR should should only be entitle to TR resident only, i am quite not agree that outsider is allow to access the facilities, even outsider is enforced to register at guard house, what is the point or reason for allowing outsider to enjoy TR facilities without paying the maintenance fee , it end up the club house becomes a public place like pasar malam, it is the private facilities should only allow for TR resident, if TR facilities is open to outsider, indirectly it led to security breach by allowing more stranger to TR community, what is the point of talking about safety. please think twice and the right approach before deploying a regulation. your comment is totally unacceptable. under certain circumstance, the outsider is only allow to access the facilities provided with they are really visitor of TR resident, they need to be escorted or accompanied by real resident. simply register to guard-house without going through verification with owner, it is just like a door open widely for allowing potential of crime, it is just matter of time to hit problem.
@chu
@Swan
The conversation between owner and myself is whether a non-G&R residence area can setup their own security system. My answer to him is yes but still cannot stop outsiders to access to the public area in the residence area.
TR is a G&G with strata title community. The facilities inside are not public but private property, which is owned by the residents, including the service road and even a lamp or dustbin. TR is not within the conversation.
@Bryan
Thanks for your clarification, noted your comment and understood.
I was a bit confused as well initially. Thanks for the clarification.
Drove through TR yesterday. They have painted the outside wall, behind the clubhouse. Looking better and better everyday.
Since we have started to discuss on the security issue, I wish to know how you all will prevent break-in through the roof? My friend said install a layer of metal sheet underneath the roof tiles. Other method could be installing the grill on the whole ceiling (above the plaster ceiling). But either way, could easily cost 5-10K. Better put RM500 on TV let they take and leave.
Any idea?
When you reference outsider – I am assuming the reference is to person that has no interest to be there and do not own nor related to any of the house owner within the GnG estate.
The security guard would need to be vigilant and question this outsider their intention and also need to make their presence felt to deter any of such outsider to be roaming around the estate. I have once attempted to venture in to Sathu and will stopped by the security and ask if I am an owner, He was very very polite and professional and I was happy that he did his responsibility. He decline my entry as I told him that I am not and wanted to view the units before making purchase. He requested me to drop by the sales office they would be able to assist me. How nice was the situation handled. I am looking forward for such security personnel.
@Bryan
During the construction of the roofing metal beam, I observed that the beam layout will be very close to each other thus it may serve a deterrent. Will have to see the actual final house and climb inside to see what can be done if it is otherwise.
Putting the wire mesh is one thing that can be thought of, or get the contractor to revet metal bar in between the roofing beam. That will may the gap small and could not climb in between. That will be cheaper alternative.
Swan, forming the JMB and have enough quorum will enable the rules to be passed as to protect the interest of the residences. Major issues will be collecting maintenance fee to properly run the whole estate. Either is those who did not pay up will not entitle to utilize the facilities including the gate access card will be disconnected. He/She can park outside on the public road and walk in to his/her property.
what is the stupid traffic light doing in front of the guard house
I would disagree to allow outsiders to access at free will without any form of security check in place. If such policy relax, how to determine as to when it need to be tighten or relax. If too relax, when tighten, people will start to complain, saying last time can now cannot. The overall estate facilities are meant for the owners and all of us will have to bear all the expenses or damages incurred on the property.
As this is a private estate and property the JMB is liable to be sued for any accident happens.
Hello all. I think there is a bit confusion on outsiders to come in and enjoy the facilities. @Bryan and @owner were referring to non G&G residential, when they talked about outsides coming in. Not TR. TR is strata and belongs to the owner of the residential.
We jointly owned the clubhouse, the swimming pool, the garden and other facilities. (Feeling like a rich person now, owning clubhouse, swimming pool and all. hehe..). NO OUTSIDERS could simply come into TR and use the facilities. These are the “PERKS” of owing GnG.
Meant for heavy flow of traffics in that area lo, good or bad?
I had the same thought initially, but I think we are better off with the traffic light. Without it, it will be difficult for TR owners to make a right turn and cause bottle neck at the guardhouse exit.
With the traffic light, when it is RED, only few cars can scan out and wait to make a right turn. When it is GREEN, only people who have scanned can go. Next on line has to scan one by one, thus not so smooth during GREEN.
Some system will be required to overcome this. I’ve feedback this to Ideal sales manager quite some time ago.
About the traffic lights, just notice that Southbay also have similar design without any issue.
Doing this will be cheaper? It will damage the “wire net” and the aluminium foil underneath the roof.
I googled and this topic on roof break in are popularly discussed. I could gather few methods but I did really understand some of them.
1. Put a metal beam or wood beam or something. And nail it to somewhere. I need to look at my roof from inside to understand more.
2. Use a detector, which they said a cheap solution. A small movement, as small as cat will trigger the alarm. The sensitivity can be adjust. Bacteria, virus, lizard won’t trigger the alarm.
Once we figured out (after VP kot) the best solution, we could get together and bundle order. This will give better price.
Sorry all for the confusion I have created, and yes, the original discussion went off topic a bit to non-TR related.
Just wondering, would it be too much put in these kinds of security measurement like securing the roof? TR is G&G …. If break-in, really, really bad-luck in my view.
Not meant to say it shouldn’t be done, definitely better than without … but it does come at a cost. I personally would even try to save some grille, if I were to stay in TR
To help everyone to save on the pain to enhance the protection of the home by not adding more cost, the community effort is required to have an increase on the security patrol. Those thiefs will need to do homework one before they strike, if they see the security doing their rounds on every hour or so .. they will give 2nd thought. If the community starts to enforce access restriction after VP, then no time or chance for those guys to do survey. Good security hard to come by
No need to worry about the roof top “net” or security alarm system, later developer may have an assigned agents to provide service/install these stuffs for you all (of course with a price). This is GnG property so the installation has to be standardized, of course the price too……
Hello Ahuan. As the installation is under the roof, instead of on top of the roof, it will not affect the appearance. Therefore no standardization required, and owners are free to decide what type they want to use.
Once VP, interested owners should get together and bundle order the appropriate solution. Bundle order will give better price.
Any sincere seller , no testing market pls. Wanna let my mom move in possible b4 CNY 2014.
Pls email selenali97@yahoo.com.sg for further discussion.
Hey guys, it looks like the proposed Heng Ee school are quite far from 1R (behind Army camp). Thought is a walking distant. Any idea?
To me close is good, but not walking distant. It will be quite noisy and heavy traffic.
i visited the site..seems like this week all road can complete and trees planted..vp is near soon. Anyone know from vp to oc took how long?
I asked Ideal people before and they said, (if I’m not mistaken), nowadays VP and OC can coincide, or not too far from each other.
Hi
for new house purchase and it is fully constructed, buyer is eligible of one-time house inspection for any defect apart from “Defect Liability Clause” 18 -24 months which stated in SPA, may i verify that when does one-time house inspection will be initiated, will it be upon VP or OC obtained? please advise, thanks
Luckily the schools are far away…but still the traffic will be terrible with the SPI by-pass in front of TR…
Hello mad. You are talking about the current bypass road right? Or will there be any new flyover or something?
@mad
It may not be that bad actually at least for the coming few years. I believe the Jalan Mahkamah expansion is mainly to take care of potential traffic from SPI. Still, I prefer the planning to be more thorough … in the current state, it seems like just simply expand here and there ….
Expansion for making a larger pasar malam on weekend? That is terrible.
Don’t worry. The junction at SPI will already help a lot in stopping the traffic flowing to One Residence too fast. Those cars may select to turn left toward Kenari cause don’t want to wait to long to go straight.
And, there should be another access road at Clover to South Homes, and that road can be access from the shoplots (with 7-11) and the road between the new wet market and sathu, then turn left after the flat.
Stay cool!
Hello Crime. That’s the beauty of GnG. You could have the convenience of pasar malam closeby, yet no effect to the residents inside TR. In addition, the pasar malam is on Saturday, thus no issue on work day traffic.
You always right. Road expansion is a good thing, but people with special intention always want to turn it into negative item.
Visited the site again last sunday and found the barrier concrete block was removed to enable 1 single car to pass by to the connecting road.
Yes. So many trees were planted. It must be very nice when all the trees at both sides of the road growth up. Just wonder, will they re-do the road after all the contractions completed? Now the road already seriously damage due to the on-going construction.
Upon VP, you will be called to make all the pending payments (maintenance fee and so on, normally about 1K+), then you can collect your keys and maybe the access cards together. Then you can book with the management for the inspection time slot. There will be 1 guy from management following you for the inspection. Then, fill up the complaint form and follow up. It may be different from developer to developer.
You still can make another round of complaint later (within the warranty period). Key thing is, must be before your renovation. Otherwise, there will be finger pointing problem.
@Bryan
Thanks for your information, i thought that VP is the stage where 80% completion of the construction, can we get the key upon VP or OC stage?, i only know that the 3-6 advance payment of maintenance fee shall be paid to developer upon key collection. please advise, thanks
I feel they will not do much on the main service road (the road at front of the TR). There is still so much construction that is happening and even the metal drain cover also has bent. So drive carefully when you are there visiting. Ideal has dig and patch on the road number of times till you can see the different color texture of the tar road.
VP only when the house is completed and hand over to buyer, which is handover the key. Payment reach about 95%. OC, or more accurately, CF, is certificate of fitness, where the house is approved for stay in. You can actually do your renovation before CF is I am not mistaken.
@Mookster
That’s why my question was after all the construction completed. I think they should and hopefully 1R residents will come together and push developer, after FV and Haus completed.
@Bryan
Thanks for your reply, meaning to say, when VP is released, it is only handover with key but not allow to stay in until CF or CCC is issued?
With VP, bank has yet 100% release in payment but approximately 80% – 90%, when it comes to VP stage, meaning to say, key should be handover by developer to buyer for house inspection or renovation. i believed that maintenance fee should take into effect from VP release onward? please correct me if i am wrong, thanks
@Swan
Yes. Only VP still cannot stay in. But CF will be obtained together or latest within 1 month after VP.
Maintenance fee started upon VP. Payment should be already up to ~95%. The payment after VP is to the lawyer, not developer, until the warranty period over. So, if within the warranty period, if anything major repair required and developer do not want to responsible, owner can instruct the lawyer to hold the last 2.5% or 5%, and use it for the repair.
@Bryan
Thank you for your explanation, i got it.
When will the road name and house numbering be known? After VP?
@Bryan
Bryan, have you sign the snp? I remember last time the Heng Ee school is the key consideration to buy TR where Ideal’s staff keep telling you it is located beside Dua Villa, and it is a hot debate. Now the school is far away.. Do you feel been cheated or conned by Ideal?
You want a full story?
When I placed my booking, I don’t even know that Heng Ee school will be built there. I thought the site was for SIS. It was a bonus later on, just that the little sales (don’t know her name and she looked young and new) told me Heng Ee will be built beside Dua Villas when I ask the question. But I doubt so, because I can’t match the map from the press with the shape and surrounding of the site. I smile and show my doubtful face to her, and told her that I don’t think so. The Sales manager took my booking did told me that Heng Ee site not confirm yet (I think Ideal want to keep it confidential at that time). So, I did comment with a question mark regarding the site here, because on wikimapia that time, somebody did marked Heng Ee beside Dua Villas.
Anyway, now Heng Ee confirmed behind Tree Sparina, no big deal. To me, still very close. And, the land besides Dua Villas is now located for Chung San school. To me, it’s only add point to TR with both progress.
@Bryan
You probably mentioned it before. But which bank did you get the loan from? Was it good deal?
Finally I took from PBB, BLR-4.2%, 90% loan, flexi package, 1 yr lock in. Nothing special about this package as I think I will not serving the loan long, so it’s doesn’t matter.
@Hemsley
You meant to say BLR-2.4% right? Do you plan to dump cash and settle the loan earlier?
@mad
Even heng ee school is situated at behid of tree Sparina, it is not a big deal. having a school very near to residence is not 100% advantage, thing always has pro and con, it will be very crowded and congested when it comes to school dismiss hour, just go to take a look at Peng Hwa school, you can image how bad is that every day to those stay nearby, ultimately, it is also an advantage of keeping a reasonable gap between residence area and school for better living place, at least, you could stay away from noises and crowded to keep you in peaceful environment, is it better? furthermore, i believe that it should take less than 10 minutes in driving from TR to Heng ee school. it is really not a big deal unless your expectation is to rely on walking distance, generally, the distance between TR and Heng ee is considered acceptable.
@Swan
He/ she do not agree to have school nearby the place he/ she stay.
I did not get the loan from Ambank eventually as the banker can’t help me to get flexi package with 90% loan. But he was really helpful and professional, and I thank him for this. I switched to Public, normal package but flexi. This is what I want.
Dear all,
Pls let me know if you guys plan to buy the security item(s) as I do believe that buying in bulk will give us better advantage in pricing wise. On the house unit no and the road’s name it’s already known. I already have mine when I sign my S&P. Pls include in any discussion as I totally agreed that TR residents need to work together and give input to make TR a better place 😉 jzelynn@jzelynn.com
Oh ya, on the latest map that I got, beside Dua Villa will be a hotel but I read here, some said it will be another Chinese School. So which is which ya? Personally staying too near any school is not a good thing, it will be really congested and noisy with all the cars and school busses double & triple park. To me luckily Heng Ee is not so near but a good distance for TR. Just my personal opinion
@Jezz
Yes, some distance away from school is good.. and for the proposed “these & that” on the map, don’t put too high hope on Ideal.. the Heng Ee school site is a good example…
That is a good point @mad. I usually don’t take the plan on the master map quite seriously. But whatever within TR, we need to ensure it is taken care off.
ps: Took a drive last weekend. I think behind the clubhouse, they are putting up a small basketball court. That was not in the map right. Extra good thing for TR.
This is not a good news for those unit facing the club house as the noise from the ball bouncing, can’t be heard clearly. And to me, i don’t play basketball but it is a very good ground for community events such as mid autumn festival (I think nobody will propose ghost festival karaoke, right?).
You may refer to the map here, posted by kotun. You can see the site for Chung San is already stated there. The hotel should be between Dua Villas and FV.
Ya good point. Let us discuss and worried about what’s within TR that we need to work on. Basket ball court?? Awesome!! Additional facilities. Well a sound proof karaoke room in the function hall will be good ;p *just joking though haha*
@Bryan
How long the lock in period you got?
bryan and kotun,
i think ideal will be able to predict when is the vp now as work almost complete. Since you all always ka ka cau cau
there,can you do us a favour to ask when is the exact vp date?
3 years. But no problem la. I think I will not able to upgrade anymore for very very long time. By the time I able to upgrade (if able to), I already not able to move house anymore. Haha!
@Bryan
: ) anyway, i am looking forward to meeting u in the future.
Bryan, you taking loan from PBB right? Ask your bank officer in charge to write in and appeal.
I just got mine waived. When you got approval, all you need to do is just pay a RM200 fee. If not approve then no need to pay. You never knew what will happen next, God works in mysterious ways. Mana tau after first year you’re gonna upgrade further. Just try, no harm trying 😉
Bryan only exist in this forum. Anyway, nice to meet you here.
Do they hv children playground with swings near clubhouse something like Sathu Terrace?
Do they hv children playground with swings near clubhouse something like Sathu Terrace?
Looking for unit near Clubhouse. Pls email me selenali97@yahoo.com.sg
They have children playground close to the clubhouse. But I’m not sure if they have swing.
If you have a choice, you don’t want to be directly in front of the clubhouse. There will be higher level of noise (from swimming pool and if there is event), especially during weekend.
Even if your option is a unit far away from the clubhouse, the backyard is actually a good place for kids to play. They will put grass, and walking path behind the house.
If you are looking for units near playground, there are total 4 playground in TR. But be alert that 1 of it is just beside the rubbish store.
@Swan
Me too. Looking forward to meet you, as other identity…… :p
I almost switched to one of that unit, as I wanted a unit close to guardhouse and in front of a playground.
@kotun
Thanks for your comment, could those unit near to guard house be more advantage or club house? Personally, those near to guard house is advantage as it is the walking distance for going to commercial once the area establish with shop and F&B. what do you think?
any update on latest vp?
I think each one has its own pros and cons, and it depends on your needs as well. I picked the one closer to clubhouse (not exactly at the front) as it will be closer for my kids to go to the playground in the evening and it is more ‘motivating’ for me to use the facilities like the gym and the swimming pool.
For the units closer to the guardhouse, they will have higher security and it is close to the guardhouse, and like you said closer to the commercial area once completed.
You going to move in asap too? Or want to sell it asap? :p
So for, only 2 owners in this forum will move in asap:
1. Kotun
2. Bryan
Who else?
No true….. the swimming pool and gym room are just in front of my unit (condo) right now, and I am not really use it……
1 thing for units closed to clubhouse is, you always can see a grand model building structure and this could make you proud. Just like the guardhouse, unfortunately, the guardhouse design not grand enough.
HI…. TR will be a good investment and a good place to stay in. Lets us all join JMB so that Ideal know that we r serious in managing TR jointly with ideal.
As we r paying maintenance fee…. we should expect a sense of cleanliness, security and confort in TR
I just attended my condo AGM. Too many expertise there and can debate every item the committee brought up. Visitor car park issue alone can debate for 1 hour. Not easy to be JMB member…. :p
@Bryan
Me too.
@KY
True and agree with Bryan, being JMB member is not easy, there are always an issue especially a place consist of common area, some people tend to make trouble and take this for their own granted and interest , especially long pending of maintenance fee, it is some kind of mindset issue, for example, since their unit is kept vacant for investment purpose, they don’t even bother of maintenance fee until they manage to find a new buyer, with this kind of scenario, those type of people, they never think of the factor of cost to maintain the area is not free, it incurs quite a lot of expense to keep the place clean and nice, everything is not free but just know how to complain, because of this mindset, it is the constitution of issues to impact others within the same community, it end up insufficient of fund to maintain the area and everyone also impacted due to selfish attitude, this scenario is only one of the examples.
On my opinion, the JMB has to be strong in the first place, any policy and regulation have to set right, enforcement must really be effective, the good member of JMB plays very important role to keep the community up to standard.
Besides, Security and safety are the main concern to be well taken care of, if security matter is not proper handled, it may led to many issues, like car park, access card for each unit , stranger enter to TR like their home and utilize club-house without any issue and Internal residence misuse their right as TR residence to take advantage for their own.
@Bryan
if i strike lottery this few weeks and got bullets for renovation, then count me in…….
@Swan
Agreed. JMB has to be taken seriously for proper enforcement and has to start in the right direction as early as possible. Rules to setup security procedure is the first priority, then comes the house rules. Hope this topic can be further discuss.
@Bryan
count me in
@Bryan
May I know where is the rubbish store? Nearby which lot no?
Then I’ll try to choose one near the playground not the rubbish store .
As my girls love swings so much and I’m deciding to buy a unit between TR and Sathu.
Do they hv side gate other than enter from Main Entrance? Just like Sathu, it has a small gate door at the other end.
@Babycc
Not sure if swing is available among the playground. The rubbish area is just beside the guardhouse. You can find it in the site map.
@Bryan
Tks. But who has the right mind to design children playground just beside the rubbish store?
Insane!
Refer to the site map, there are 2 red boxes, may I know what’s that?
Those are TNB stations.
@Babycc
pls refer to the map on the left of guard house in dark grey square box where behind of it is a playground, hope it is explained.
@Babycc
pls evaluate the direction left or right of guard house from outside instead
1. Kotun

3. Jack TR
Wonder the guard house side 2 entrance will be set up as pedestrian walk in / waiting room with card access. It will be convenience on raining or sunny day if you are waiting for friend to fetch outside.
I am currently is JMB member for my apartment. JMB member really “kepo boh sin lo”, you will receive a lot of complaints and the problems seem never ending. Hopefully TR not like my apartment got many complaints and problems. Btw I am not hurry to move in, plan to start renovate after CNY.
Rubbish store have to be beside the guardhouse so that easy to be monitored and also can be accessed by MPPP’s contractor from outside without entering TR. And this location is the most far away from all residential units. The land beside it could only be used for playground or TNB. In this case, is playground as the location of TNB is just beside the main road which is not suitable for playground. I guess this is the reason behind. If think positively, that ground could be playground, or just an empty field. So, better to have playground than nothing.
@Bryan
Thanks for your information, besides, there is also another playground where located on the right of main entrance by viewing from outside. that playground is situated in front of those semi-D unit type. is that playground confirm to be there?
@Jack TR
If don’t have, future JMB pls consider it.

Not bad. TR is already 1.58% occupied. I have a friend running an electronics shop, mainly Panasonic. Not sure if we group buy can get better price or not. Last time I bought aircon and water heater from him. This round I may get aircon, water heater plus kitchen hob and hood (I think Rubine) from him if he can offer good price. Let me know if anyone want to try to get quotation as group.
Please also share other contractor/ vendor for other home appliances and renovation. I think it is about the time to get some preparation.
From the site map, it is confirmed la. But to me, I can only confirm it after I see it with my own eyes.
I always give my full cooperation to my JMB team because I think they contribute a lot to the community. Of course I know the JMB members well in the first place, and they really did a good job. As you have the experience, hopefully you can join the TR JMB. Hehe…..
I’ve never been in JMB, but I knew that the latest meeting in my apartment was really hot. It might not have been done before, but I think whoever in JMB and carry out a good job, they deserve to be reward. For example, their maintenance fee is waived. Something new to think about for TR JMB.
I’ve too never been a JMB before and I think since that this forum has genuine home owners. I propose to meet up sinece earlier Jack TR collected email id before. What say everyone ?
@kotun
Cannot waive maintenance and give rewards. Only volunteer JMB can do a great job, believe me. Btw, those JMB got meeting allowances one.
Count me in.
Went to sales office today to collect my agreement. Signed many months back but never go and collect them. Also no one call me to collect them.
I ask the front desk lady and she claims that TR VP only happen in Sept
@kaki
Meaning OC is about Oct.
Where can I see the different type of floor plan?
It seems that not all type of floor plan available above.
Pls ignore above message
@kaki
Like that, better VP Dec, since already cannot do anything after Sep, unless you engage your contractor now.

2. Bryan
3. Jack TR
4. Sunny
5. Ahuan
6. Kaki
TR is 1.90% occupied.
@kotun
Agree. Maybe setup TR owners facebook page ?
Count me in too. See can get cheaper price
Hi
Please count me in as well
@Revo
Good idea
early Sept or end Sept? I see things almost done..why need another 2 months plus?@kaki
@Ahaun
She just say Sep. Better to double confirm you may call Ideal to cross check again.
Hi
Pls count me is as well
Hi, guys! “Count me in” means you will also move in TR asap once OC, or you want to join the group buy? I think I better clarify here.
As I will move in latest by March 2014, to those doing renovation and move in at almost the same time, we can work out something for the group buy. But those move in at different time frame, sorry that I can help it.
Those fulfill the above criteria, may send email to me directly for further discussion about the electronic appliances group buy.
mplcycmy@gmail.com
Count me in on the electronic appliances group buy. It might not hurt also if we just go to SEC, and tell them if we can get ‘durian runtuh’ discount if we bulk purchase.
While it is good that there is a vibrant discussion here….u can see the active participants (<2%) are limited here compare to the total units of 316. Of course not all people like to join this forum but the % far too low for such a high volume units.
But given the current high online community exposure and easy internet access this need to be boost up to avoid giving wrong impression to others. Let’s assume another 1000% owner just read and never join in talk, that makes 70 people?
Concern if there are simply too many investors rather than staying owners, it may caused low occupancy and subsale price war (similar to SPI in 2009-2011 supply glut). I think SPI people need to thanks One residence for bringing in more people there
Please get more of your friends to join the meetings and spice up the discussion….
@kotun
Harvey Norman maybe can get some special discount too if you buy a lot from them.
Btw – count me in,
however, only plan to move in after CNY (May/Jun perhaps), but no harm consider buying electrical appliances / reno first to save some $$ , in case that stupid GST thingy kicks in.
cheers.
Anyone got good interior designer and contractor to recommend ?
Anyone how the finalize air well design will look like?
Bryan, I am willing to help but not necessary to become a JMB member. In my opinion you are the right person to join JMB since you are a core member and contribute a lot in this forum. Appreciate it.
Count me in as the 1st batch
We will worry when it is time to worry.
Still got air well?
Understand.
No air well then?
I don’t see any hole on the roof if not mistaken.
@Bryan
Do you know if there is any sunlight able to come in through the roof or something..?
I think create TR facebook page would be better. Will create soon.
@kotun
Have to wait until VP then only know. Previously, there was a semi-transparent window on the ceiling at staircase area, but no opening on the roof. Or anyone have seen the completed house?
Let me try to sneak in again today. I’ll bring my camera as well. Hopefully the ‘mandor’ won’t kacau. Wish me luck.
lol… macam spy. Good Luck!
@RevoWithin
You need to put innocent and thick faces, to simply walk in and pretend all is well…hehe…
@kotun
good luck and pls share more pictures of the progress. Also pls estimate the time of oc..
@kotun
Can share with us the pictures? That day I sneaked in but less than 5 mins being chased out
I need more information abt this project to make an offer.
May I know where exactly is the surau with loud speaker?
just across d road, visible from the junction across main road.
Anyway, it is common la. just get used to it. we need to respect each others in plural society.
thinking about it as i study the plan…..i guess that is the reason why IDEAL place the cheapest width type 22 nearer to Main road side? more expensive unit have better placing it seems
Hi,
For security system and electronic appliances pls count me in as we’ll ya.
Can also email me at jzelynn@jzelynn.com. As for interior design I’m using Linear Design from KL. if you guys want pls let me know, maybe we can get bulk discount too since their contractor coming down to do my unit. Linear Design is a multi award winning ID company 😉
Lol good luck ya
Well said. It is good to know that we have tolerant and respectful resident in TR. It is only 5 times a day, and less than 2 minutes each.
hey kotun..did u success in ur mission?
Did not get the chance to visit TR yet this weekend.
You must hv budgeted at least 200K for your renovation? I only hv 100K including some furniture.
Passed by just now and saw them working on the bricks road at the entrance. Looked nice.
Hi, all, LED down light, 12W, 4′ width i think, normal price RM129 each. Now offer RM69. Price reasonable?
@Bryan
I think the price is marked up, then only reduce. RM69 is probably with nice enclosure, very slim profile? This is judging from the fact LED bulb without the bracket is sold for about RM30, and bracket alone shouldn’t cost that much.
@owner
Yes. This is a slim one where the thickness is less than 1″, and very easy to fix it DIY. With rough calculation, the unit price + installation + maintenance cost will be the same between the LED down light vs conventional bulb down light after 5 yrs. There after, LED type save you more.
I just wondering whether the brightness of the LED type is comparable to the bulb type. If not, need to install more units with LED type, then the calculation will be different.
@Bryan
I have the same concerns. Without lumens being stated, it is hard to compare the brightness but in general for the same watt, LED should be comparable to energy saving bulb if not better. The catch is however traditionally LED light is more intense, and typically has narrower coverage angle. This to some extend is proven when I asked a light shop to change the bulb of a colorful semi-transparent ceiling light. It was very obvious for LED, the upper side of the light is very very dim. Not very good if u expect the light to reflect off the ceiling.
For down light application, my guess is the difference is not that much since light is reflected off the bracket. My current condo is one 6in downlight about 5 feet apart, and is very bright. For most people, I guess most likely 1 small LED every 4 feet apart is sufficient.
Hopefully anyone with experience on both could share.
The ID have website and porfolio? would like to see their work first. i prefer simple and modern design rather that major renovation type. How much they quote you ?
Thanks for the useful info. Currently I am using the bulb 18W, warm light, with 5ft apart. Some area 7ft apart with daylight also no problem. This LED, is only 12W, plus a semi-transparent cover, could block some of the lights too. A bit headache if install too few, not bright enough but if too much, high damage….
@Bryan
Personally I would get bracket + LED bulb combo rather than integrated due to lower costs (both short and long), and the chance to revert back to bigger/smaller watt including energy saving bulbs. Integrated looks nice but once broken, have to replace the whole unit – and by that time, may not be able to find the same one.
I did some search, and it seems that although LED can last many hours, it’s driver is not. However, I couldn’t find how durable a driver is though. For branded LED like Philips, most probably the quoted life-span has included the driver. This may not be the same for other no name brand.
At least my headache is 1 less than yours since i know the form factor i want, :). By the way, energy saving bulbs with ballast indeed last very long. *touch wood* My down light (average 4+ hours per day) has been lasting for 7 years without a change.
Yes, The Air Well is still there.. I was able to see it cover with clear roof tiles (it might be glass)
Sweet. Another + for TR. Maybe ‘haze’ will come and visit TR soon..
@kotun
Not meant to be the “haze”, but any good way to keep the clear tiles/glass/polycarbonate etc clean? I am having a headache now to choose between clear or semi-transparent vs normal tiles awning …
Hey, yes mine also minimalist and modern. This company do most of the show units for big developers like Sunway, TA, Mayland and others. You can check them out at www.linear.my 😉 I’ve seen their work and their workmanship, damn good. Let me know if you need any more details. I give the whole design and build to them. So I will just bring my tooth brush, tooth paste and Bajus there lol
Why worry on things that never catch ppl’s eyes? Those clear tiles will be equally dusty as the solid roof tiles. And though, still more transparent than the solid roof tiles. We never worry about the dust on the solid roof tiles, am I right?
The clear tiles at my hometown still functioning well after never clean it for ~5yrs. And no plan to clean it in near future. Hopefully this help to clear your worry.
Can someone tell me, the Lot #41,87,88,132…. with darker shade of pink is type 24 or 26?
The qty of the unit doesn’t match.
Is something wrong with the site plan?
@Babycc
They are type 24. Total unit 316, no problem with the site plan.
It stated Dark pink (type 24) = 16 units and light pink (type 26) = 31 units according to site plan.
But if you count physically it’s terbalik, dark pink = 31 units and light pink = 16 units .
Hey, just spoken to the boss. Their website is not fully updated as they’re so so packed with work. But if any of you guys got enquiry you can email directly to him at cheong@linear.my. Mine the whole house design and build including furnitures is below <RM300k. But ID is varies, it can be much more cheaper or more expensive. Better you ask him directly and tell him your budget if it's doable or not 😉
@Babycc
I think you are right.
Yup, will contact him
So if let say i also take his package, can he discount discount a bit to us ? lol…

Does anyone happen to know the price for conceal piping + installation for aircon?
For piping alone, I am quoted RM450 for 1.5HP aircon with the following:
1. A few feet conceal pipe internally, another about 10 feet external to the house
2. The external pipe, cover with PVC casing
3. The copper pipe is 1/2 in, 0.61mm thick (gauge23), which is compatible with inverter
For installation, 1.5HP aircon is RM130.
So, total = 580 …
Hi, I tried to join but couldn’t ;((
If you put the aircon at the right location, you actually do not need to conceal anything but just the normal installation, except the family hall at the 2nd floor. If I see it correctly during my last visit months ago, conceal aircon piping already there for master bedroom and living hall.
Can we do it at other blog? Cannot access FB from company. I think many companies in FTZ also block FB.
to all,
I’ve changed the setting. please log on to https://www.facebook.com/groups/treeresidency/
@Jezz
RM300K? You do any hacking or extension? Otherwise, your house will be much better that the show house. I will only do (afford) minimal renovation.
Bryan, <RM300k and it's design and build which means including lose furnitures. You go count if only electronic like air-cons, washing machines, fans, lights, curtains and decorative items will be almost RM100k already. Then wiring, plaster ceiling and all leh, so it's consider really affordable price already for a KL contractor and award winning ID to come all the way to Pg to do it. Including grills. So I don't have to worry about anything at all 😉
Anyone interested to sell your house? I would like to buy a house in Tree Residence. No agents, please. Thank you.

Hi
Anyone knows about the current price for 22X70 type in market?
@Babycc
I saw the glass roofing at my unit woh… let me take a pict to show unless my eyes conned me
@Babycc
I also saw the glass roofing is there, you may check with more agents or developer who understand more about their product, some agents out there might not 100% correct with their statement, rather, please do more survey by checking with more people before conclusion, it would help you to find out the fact.
RM1 mil ?
i have one 22×70 south facing asking 990K currently. 0124930728
I am not sure about others but other than my earlier statement, to me, FB is a very personal and I only add those close friends and relative. Sorry to say that all the owners here may be my close friends in future, but still a stranger at this point of time, and I am not ready to give access of my FB by joining the FB group. Sorry for my discouragement.
@Babycc
@Mookster
@Swan
I think no air well. It was removed because of the leaking issue at Sathu. They replaced it with a glass roof, letting the sun light penetrate into the space underneath the roof, then, use a few transparent ceiling plate on the ceiling above the stairs case, trying to catch some light into the house. Maybe at 12pm, there will be some sunlight able to reach our ground floor. Unless they have install the air well structure after the video I captured 4 months ago. Otherwise, I think it would be something similar to my description.
How long you have been posting this unit with this price? Can you let us know the actual transact price after you manage to sell the house? I am very interest to know the real transact price of TR. Thanks in advance.
why would he tell you bryan? what is the benefit? hahahaha
Well, there are a lots of people willing to share information without talking about benefit. But I am sure you are not 1 of them.
@Bryan
I think is agent
I think he is an property agent
@Bryan
I think the way that I am trying to indicate the so call air well is not well defined.
@Bryan
You have my support, information sharing is not only all about benefit
