According to apartment penang, the cheapest bumi unit at 750k was fully sold, 10xxsqf at 34th floor at 795k also no more…

congratulation to all vertiq buyer, the cheapest bumi lot price set at 750k also sapu finished, 34 floor 10XX sf also up to 795k also no more.

Nowadays, more Bumi invest in property.

the bumi lots were released to public because no bumi bought..
bumi lots only help developer to earn more..did not serve the purpose

bumi putra can’t affort 700k condo la, some more only 1000sf. they can build their own bangalow on government given land for free, at mainland kampung area. so, all non-bumi to be the water fish to buy this condo, government earn the tax, while developer earn money, that enough profit margin for them to build highway for free to government. IJM suck all these money from the rich, then do it for social responsibility. so, those rich man and women, go buy IJM properties.

we need more developer like IJM, can grab money from rich man, then build more facility to the public. at least, those poor live at LMC can still use the facility from IJM like the coastal highway.

sounds like a win win to me haha.. buyers flip and earn
goverment earn
ijm earn
rakyat prosper
haha
end user who stay in properties pay up the loan

anyone got a unit there? any updates on the progress

@mr. tan
“the cheapest bumi lot price set at 750k also sapu finished, 34 floor 10XX sf also up to 795k also no more”.

Wah, so many rich people in Island. This one for own stay or for investment?

What is the expected appreciation rate for Vertic?

Now construction already reached 3rd level of carpark. Night and day non-stop.

Can administrator update site photo?

why not some buyers go and take photo send to administrator for update, instead of just asking admin to update it.

How could he/she sold the unit without getting OC?

can sell, you just need to engage a lawyer and you can do the paperwork. very easy

bayswater asking price now >800K (smallest unit)…. most likely vertiq price will increase 30% from ori price upon VP…. no idea about the actual transacted price for bayswater though….

The Penang World Convention Centre will be built in front of it. Not sure it is good or bad to Vertiq.

you can check from the light master plan. the convention center will actually makesure that vertiq still have seaview. the building only a few storeys high.

another thing is that, since the convention center is low, vertiq residents can view iconic building a floating cultural theatre. You will have another view which is similar to city view.

Like viewing Sdyney Opera house! Besides the convention centre, there will be 4 blocks of medium high office buildings as well but won’t the seaview since Vertiq located on higher ground.

yup, medium floor vertiq is equivalent to high floor for bayswater due to the higher ground.. level 22 for vertiq already higher than bayswater ‘s rooftop..

most of the units for vertiq will have seaview, pool view, bridge view and the light phase2 view… and the light phase 2 area will be very nice if u look at its masterplan

@aaaa
How abt Pearl Regency View? Won’t it block part of the view since? Pearl Regency would have nicer sea view i guess.

This is one of the worst IJM project. Left side blocked by Pearl Regency & Menara IJM, right side blocked by Platino & Bayswater. Front will be blocked by 2 office blocks. The design is ugly like bird cage with dull colour. Location & traffic is sucked with so many high density high rises around that small plot of land.

@Solaris

The Spring not the worst? Just next to rubbish dump..

yes, vertiq will not have 180 deg angle seaview… ijm already showed this in their presentation… but vertiq will have certain angle of seaview even after the light phase 2 completed…

@solaris, i think the design is ok, it will be diff from pearl regency design… agree with u on the colour. on the location i think everybody agree that area is a prime location and access is excellent… later ijm plan to build flyover from the light to caltex… and the light phase 2 is really nice development…. shopping mall will be better than gurney plaza and queensbay

for vertiq above 22 floor will not block by either bayswater or the light project. current selling price is around 800/sqft. anyone interested pls let me know.

I was wonder Vertiq is selling with 850k at 1080sqf condo. This condo is block by pearl regency..platino..bayswater. So high the price… and the density at that area is rather high. So many condo surrounding and traffic must be jam after that. Everyday 6pm started.Jam at greenlane to tenku kudin….

@CK
how do you know the selling price is 800/sft… i dont think it is that high at the moment… bayswater still selling less than 700/sft

@Kenny
adding another 506 units (vertiq+ pearl regency) should be ok in my opinion… current traffic from ftz still manageable around that area… as for the view, if u are expecting full 180 deg seaview, then it will be blocked by the other condos.. but if u ok with certain angle of seaview then the mentioned condos will not block vertiq view… and if ur unit higher than level 22 u already higher than bayswater…

Do you think that PWC which selling min rm750/sqft w no seaview, on reclaimed land yet sold out is any better than Vertiq? For Vertiq, the potential is there, with the upcoming commercial lots from Pearl Regency n Light project (when fully fulfilled in 10yrs ;)).

heard that coffee bean confirmed will occupy Pearl Regency commercial lot.

The light commercial project will be a big push factor for Vertiq. Convention center expected to be completed by 2017. Heard also shopping mall and hotel will be announced next year. Vertiq VP is mid 2015, so I think upon VP, we should see some activities on the convention center, shopping mall and hotel already.

can’t wait

@Passby
Can’t wait to stay or sell? 😉

Btw, anyone check what are the living and bath rooms tiles size for Vertiq?

I was wonder..Now condo is every where in the penang. Can penang condo increase up to 1 million in 5 years time later?

Too expensive…Walao

after vertiq completed plus pearl regency & platino, that area is become high density residence area, pay for RM1m to buy a condo there?? think twice…

@Househunter
if i remember correctly, 2×2 tiles for living… forgot about barh room

The corner area to make u turn back to tesco, i think hv some safety issue., if anything fall down from those two building sure will kena the car or vehicle below.

@Aaaa
2×2 tiles means? Std. tiles size for living room is 600mmx600mm.

@Grace
Still have the high structure fallen from high rise building phobia? Me too but it’s part of urbanization.

2ft x 2ft, which is equivalent to 600mmx600m

hi – any more updates?

heard that ijm will increase the price soon for remaining unit.. not sure 5% or 10%

by 10% at least..petrol also up 10% mah

heard that they will build connecting bridge from pearl regency to tesco. nice! so we have connecting bridge from vertiq to pearl regency and pearl regency to tesco

aaaa :
heard that they will build connecting bridge from pearl regency to tesco. nice! so we have connecting bridge from vertiq to pearl regency and pearl regency to tesco

What I heard is different ?
I heard they will built a fly over from Vertiq straight to Penang Bridge, easy for those working in mainland to commute.

Residents from nearby Platino, Pearl Regency, Bayswater will be given special access pass to enter Vertiq, to use the fly over. Sounds weird? Well, I think not bad actually 😀

@Hikato
never heard about that and it does sounds weird. i only heard that there will be a flyover from the light area to caltex just before e-gate. ijm already apply for this but can not get the approval yet as the traffic from the light area not enough to support the application at the moment.

the connecting bridge that i am talking about is from building to building. u can walk from pearl regency building to tesco. just like the one from vertiq to pearl regency. the idea is to make pearl regency commercial lots as part of tesco. current setup for pearl regency commercial lots look isolated. so i think that is a good idea.

Any unit to let go?

Please share your units on hands.. Thanks

partners for the light phase 2 commercial will be announced by end of this year or early of next year.. the master plan is superb.. this will bring metro east area to the next level… 850 psf is doable but need to wait another 3-4 years i think… i dont think vertiq worth 850 psf at the moment

then how much should it cost

@wbk2

my personal opinion shud be ~700psf… bayswater 1174 sft unit asking price >830K (~700 psf).. take note that this is asking price. since vertiq is a new condo with better specs than bayswater, i think ~700 psf is reasonable for vertiq at the moment..

I like your comment @acro, vertiq/pearl regency should be ~750-780 psf now and as usual case will increase a bit with OC, and in the future, potentially can go to 900-1000psf no prob with the light development and link road.

@passby

which link road that u are referring here.

Taking a furnished unit with a new unit to compare, is like comparing apple to orange. Why not compare platino original unit with vertiq price?

@passby, just because you are a vertiq buyer, of course you like all the positive comments. Plain captain obvious.

@JT

furnish can be offset with better facilities and new building for vertiq.

the smallest unit for platino (1076 sft) is asking close to 1 mil already. But shud not compare with platino because platino is in diff class (higher). And, could not compare psf price against platino because platino units are much bigger (2x), therefore psf price will be lower.

It’s just a relative comparison of course u can compare with platino, and I also don’t think it can sell for 830 psf now, chill.

I like acro’s comment coz it’s very centric and unbiased. Link road to air itam/gurney to lim chong ewe highway, IJM’s masterplan also have a few interchange, but who will know the future, just wait and see.

budget 2014 later will change everything. good luck

So what will be changed after budget on vertiq?

My guess is only the price of coffee due to removal it sugar subsidies. For vertiq , no impact lah ..

tax tax tax

Vertiq will became one more property without occupation, similar to lighting property
The name ith The lighting but look dark forevert

cola :
So what will be changed after budget on vertiq?

This area is congested with buildings.

Truth :
This area is congested with buildings.

but its a very HOT area

Might be for those who had bought will consider hot area. What do you
get living in this congested location ? Everyday must go to “Tesco” or
must cross the “Penang Bridge” ?

location location location, even condos in relau sg ara psf price is catching up, plus initial start up cost to stay in is lower with the semi furnishing. People who bought vertiq must be having a lot enemies, so many like to attack, haha.

So keep for another year, might be able to sell at 1500 psf.

@Truth
other than tesco and penang bridge, vertiq has superb access, the light commercial area(shopping mall, cinema, etc), egate, short drv to bukit dumbar or future the light park for jogging, In between georgetown and FTZ(direct access), freehold, reputable dveloper

can u name one project that has all the above mentioned points in the south of island?

well, ithere are 3 cons that i can list here… chimney, wierd layout for small unit, noisy….

take note that u will never have a perfect project in property investment

@acro

Baystar, Gold Coast, Putra Marine Resort and upcoming Summerton.

@Truth
those properties are leasehold except baystar… u cannot compare baystr with vertiq… baystar price is almost double from vertiq price

@acro

“can u name one project that has all the above mentioned points in the
south of island?”

What did you ask for ? Baystar was much cheaper than Vertiq when
they bought it. The location warrants such a higher price.

@Truth

@acro
Hi Guy,

For your information, Baystar was launched with RM500,000 only last time. Now price shoot up to RM1.3M minimum at market price. All this was due to superb location and direct seaview. Thanks!

Truth :
@acro
“can u name one project that has all the above mentioned points

What did you ask for ? Baystar was much cheaper than Vertiq
when

That was why I said “Baystar was much cheaper than Vertiq when
they bought it”.

When was Baystar launched? When was vertiq launched? How to compare like that.

@Ted888
Only things i can say is bayswater is rather good compare to vertiq..Vertiq would be another empty condo again we will see for another 3 to 5 years time in order to pick up the condo occupied rate..

@Ted888

Firstly, you asked ” How to compare like that”. What are you comparing
in the first place ?

Price. Since you have commented Baystar was cheaper than vertiq when 1st launched. For the past couple of years property price has increased. My opinion is that it is not an apple to Apple comparison to compare launching price of these 2 condo.

@Ted888

“can u name one project that has all the above mentioned points in the
south of island?” asked by acro.

My answer: Baystar, Gold Coast, Putra Marine Resort and upcoming
Summerton.

Already given the answer for the main question but shifted to tenure of
property and now pricing.

I asked a simple question :What do you get living in this congested location ?
Everyday must go to “Tesco” or must cross the “Penang Bridge” ?

If can’t come up with a logical answer please don’t gave answer not relevant
to it.

“That was why I said “Baystar was much cheaper than Vertiq when
they bought it”.”

Chill bro. Just responding to the statement above.. Can’t answer you why must go tesco everyday cod I dun live there

Why should anybody consider buying in this area and what do you get
living in this congested location ?

@Truth
so your concern is actually the area is congested right? here is my question, why people still prefer condos in mont kiara even though this area is congested with buildings?

to me, there are other factors that are more importnant than whether the area is congested or not… and personally i am still ok with the number of buildings around that area…

Located beside the busiest highway in Penang….wondering are those residents there every night close window in order to sleep one.

@ezalor

some people have no prob to close the window when they want to sleep…

if they cannot sleep, I believe Bayswater price should not be increased to the price today….

@acro

To give you a clearer picture why should anybody consider buying in this
area and what do you get living in this congested location with such
pricing ? Please give reasons or factors if you prefer to call it.

Buildings in Mont Kiara area is more spread out than in Tesco Pg. We are
comparing locations in Pg. not KL.

@Truth

seems like quite hard for me to understand what do you want actually. I thought your concern is “area congested”. As I mentioned before, the other factors like freehold, superb access, conveniences, the light waterfront commercial, etc is more important (at least for me) than too many buildings. These factors enough for me to choose this project. Plus, personally I don’t feel that the area around tesco is too congested.

@acro

If you take these factors like freehold, superb access, conveniences, the
light waterfront commercial, there are other areas with such factors.
Why should anybody consider buying in this area and what do you get
living in this congested location with such pricing ?

With these only factors, this area doesn’t command such pricing at the
moment. It’s not a preferred location. There are other locations.

@Truth

which other area? (in south).

previously you mentioned about baystar, putra marine, summerton, gold coast (this is consider same area). Is this only the area that matches tesco area?

as I mentioned before, putra marine, gold coast, summerton are leasehold… left baystar, then I said that the price is higher than vertiq…. this part I also don’t understand when u compare baystar and vertiq…. if baystar absolute price now is less than rm1 mil, I will definitely go for baystar. but it is not…. so, what is the purpose of comparing baystar vs vertiq… they are two different animal boss…

btw, are you referring to vertiq’s launching price or asking price (or rather speculate price)

@acro

No doubt its leasehold but much cheaper. It can be anywhere in Pg.
island. This area doesn’t command such pricing at the moment.( What
do you think, launching price or asking price ?)

@Truth
it should be current price… no point discuss about launched price…

@Truth
which one is much cheaper?

I just put rm700k from my previus post. This shud translate to rm761k for 1087 sft…. now, compare it with gold coast, rm 750k for 1184 sft…. gold coast is an old condo and leasehold, so vertiq 700 psf is reasonable….

@Truth

What kind of facilities that gold coast has…. on landscaping, I think gold coast shud be better since it has bigger area…. but gold coast is leasehold and ~14 year-old….

Light Linear ~900k is for lower floor.. for higher floor price ~1 mil…. absolute price: 1mil vs 760k….

Light Linear higher floors available at 920k and 960k . I would have bought
it if not for the building that is too close to each other. No idea about Uban
Res. There are still some other places worthwhile to consider if planning to

@Truth
why do you keep quoting “type C, 1300 sqft, sea facing. Asking 1.1mil. please contact me”… I didn’t agree with him too on the asking price…. that is ~~rm850 psf…. i only used ~rm700 psf…

light linear seaview shud be >1mil already…. u sure u can get rm920k?

@Truth
I did quick check on the Uban Res… the access could not be compared to tesco area. conveniences also not there….

@acro

Even 1 mil is less than 700psf. Just keep trying to sell your unit.

@Truth

you cannot just simply compare psf price especially small vs bigger unit. That is wrong concept.

I am not selling my unit here.

When I am doing quick check on the Uban residence, I was shocked that u use this property to compare with tesco area.

@acro

Why shock comparing with The Uban ? Why can’t compare ? Is it because not
the same developer or because it’s IJM ? What is common with The Uban
and Vertiq is they are squeezed in a small plot of land. Tesco area is nothing,
just a hypermarket. In fact they bring jam, noise and pollution not to mention
TNB power station already there.

@acro

“One cannot just simply compare psf price especially small vs bigger unit”.

Did you you tell that to IJM when you bought Vertiq ? If they don’t
calculate how much psf how are they going to determine the price
of your unit ? Are they using special formula to calculate ?

@Truth

the access and conveniences… do not under estimate these two factors. It makes huge difference.

when u r talking about tesco, are u referring to hypermarket that you buy groceries only. tesco+egate+midtown+the light comercial offer lifestyle factor.

what I mean is that, in general bigger unit will have lower psf price compare to smaller unit. This is standard.

Secondly is the absolute price… e.g
for 2000 sft unit selling at 500 psf= rm1 mil
for 1000 sft unit selling at 750 psf= rm750k
not many people can afford 1 mil even though psf is lower

@acro

So using your concept Penthouse definitely must be cheaper. Why did you
not buy Type J as it will be cheaper considering bigger unit with 2,303 sq ft.

@Truth

the example above is for illustration only. If you are talking within same developemt, normally smaller unit is priced rm50psf-100psf higher.

if the unit is too big the absolute price also high.

Tell you frankly, I will not buy Vertiq selling at such a price and a no. of
people will agree with me. The main factor in deciding is still money. Given
such a bigger unit with so much different in price, do you think people will
still go for Vertiq ?

You think that is nothing in Queensbay Mall ? Tesco and Egate better ?
What lifestyle will the light comercial offer and is it very far from The Uban ?
The light commercial offer “Young” looks but Queensbay Mall offer “Old looks ?

@Truth

I am definitely have no problem with ur opinion on not buying vertiq.

part that I dont get is when u saying that “so much diff in price”.

You use Queensbay area again. We discussed it already, most of them are leasehold. And the most important thing is that, the price is not much different. e.g gold coast 11++ sft asking for 750k and vertiq 1087 sft asking for 760k. Don’t use Baystar as comparison. Summerton now selling around rm550 psf if I am not mistaken.

I never said that Queensbay area is nothing.

@acro

The Uban is opposite Queensbay across the road.

@Truth

check the access

@acro

Sales figures will determine the outcome.

@Truth

which sales figure? bayswater 1174 sft unit already asking for rm830k min.

@acro

There is only a sales figure when a sale is concluded and not asking price.

@Truth

then we shud wait for another 1.5 yrs when vertiq VP…

To me, sometime I believed that is not based on how much point you can get if the place is surrounding by tesco or….and the highest points will get the highest price. Its not simple math like 1+1 sure is become 2.

Wow, vertiq is facing the low cost look PEARL REGENCY… all the sea view blocked.

I have to say, I am considering to buy pearl regency, but due to other commitment still thinking. I really like that area and wish to have chance to stay in there. I have no problem with the look as it’s subjective, it’s like staying in a hotel look building to me, to me, arte S design is even not suitable. Uban is not convenient at all, you have to be well dressed to just buy a bottle of juice, and the workmanship is not as good as IJM, have to throw more money in to do it up, whereas this one simply 20k I can move in already, the accessibility is better than the light linear. Just some thoughts when I was looking around, and really can feel a bit extremist feeling from @Truth. Of course there are places around in pg to stay, but can’t help about that area’s wow factors

@lin

Just curious, can you pls share the “wow” factors for this area?….:)

LMC :
Wow, vertiq is facing the low cost look PEARL REGENCY… all the sea view blocked.

@lin
Obviously an owner trying to hardsell his property.

The accessibility of this area is really better. Close to bridge, access to weld quay and FIZ directly, Tesco and e-Gate in front, not much problem to access to inland (Greenlane, Farlim….) too. After the Ayer Itam bypass Gurney-Weld Quey bypass and 3rd phase of Jelutong Express completed, ti will be even better. The bad sites are close to TnB plant, some communcation plate nearby, and the noise from Jelutong express. Also, that small piece of land will be congested with Bayswater, Platinum, Pearl Regency and Vertiq.

Wow, vertiq is facing the low cost look PEARL REGENCY… all the sea view blocked.

dude, pls go to the site or visit ijm showroom before comment…
seaview is there… u can even have pool view from pearl regency swimming pool

@Hemsley
agreed with u. this area has best access among the condo in south og penang

on the bad points, also agreed with u. just that all the bad points except now the area become crowded are similar with bayswater when it was launched… i guess everyone knows that bayswater is among the best condo in term of capital appreciation in penang.

on the area crowded, personally i am still ok with tht… pearl regency + vertiq only add another ~500 units…

Heard that many first time buyers bought for own stay. Got direct link bridge to Tesco?

@Po
yup… direct link bridge from midatown@pearl regency to tesco

All condos will be affected after completion in that small area of Tesco. Gone
are the days where this area could be considered for own stay. Only hope
those with bad eye-sights and no knowledge on the effects of the TNB’s
station will buy.

@Po
i can tell u buy for own stay is less than 50%, time prove everything, after OC obtained, this condo can see many vacant units / subsales…

@Mok

50% bought for own stay translates to 50% occupancy rate within a year, not too bad.

@Only Hope

not bad for me. not sure what you are looking for. landed at Balik Pulau? Flood one laa…

@Po

Are you sure you know only this location and Balik Pulau in the whole of
Penang island ?

@Only Hope

Are you sure? Don’t NATO laa…

Why are my comments on EMF and TNB station deleted ? Is it to hide the truth
from the public ? Give the owners the chance of defending which researchs have
shown that the effects of prolong exposure to EMF is very real.

What happen to truth comment on tnb electrical issue?

My comments still here laa… those obsess with TNB one padan muka…

@renter

The problem is, no body wants to rent lah. Most tenant in that area after staying one year only (some 6 months) already looking for somewhere else to move to. Too noisy, dusty and some already developing brain migraine.

@SiaoLang

Better sell my Bayswater already… heard that can fetch 900k for 1300sf… Not bad…

@Po

I think it is wise for you to sell now if you can get a buyer.

@Po

any idea how much is the market value for bayswater now…

bayswater completion was 2007…. and the price increase > 100% ady… if got such issue, I don’t think bayswater price will be like today…. btw, bayswater price keep increasing….

I guess EMF not only affecting human health but also Public’s wealth.

900k for 1300 sq ft should be no problem. when it hit OC, should be 1 mil

I guess EMF not only affecting human health but also Public’s wealth.

yeah right

Copied from http://www.public.health.wa.gov.au/cproot/1372/2/Powerlines_Electromagnetic_Fields_and_Health.pdf-“Each power line runs along a corridor of land called an easement. The width of the easement is determined by a number of factors, including the electrical load on the line. The widest easements, naturally, are given to the lines with the highest loads e.g. an easement width of 60 metres is typical for 330kV lines.
Public access to an easement is permitted, but building and long-term occupation are not. At the edge of an easement, the EMFs are appreciably lower than they are in the centre. The WHO limits are not exceeded anywhere within easements; the EMFs outside easements are consequently well below these limits.”

So 60 m should be the safe distance.

“Why should anybody consider buying in this area and what do you get
living in this congested location ?” @ Truth

Now that the people are aware of the EMF ( Electromagnetic fields )by TNB
station pose a threat to human health and congested with buildings, this
area is not considered a good location and will depreciate in value.

@Only Hope
tnb was there when bayswater completed… and people already diacussed about it… again, are u sure emf is a threat? we are talking about power station with 400 megawatt using natural gas… not a high voltage transmission line…

everytime i drive around that area, i dont see any jam… adding another 500 units shud not hv much diff

@acro
Yup, wonder what is the reason TNB related comments got deleted.
No matter what the reason is, the truth will be the truth and deleting comments will not hinder the truth from getting out to others. We have our network of acquintance and this truth will spread..

@TNB
i read a journal and articles regarding electromagnetic field around power plant.. there is no firm conclusion this emf affecting health… just google and read it… btw do not confuse power plant with transmission line

heard that IJM re-submit proposal for flyover from the light area to caltex (before e-gate)…. hope it will get approved

Can use flyer to go back to The Light instead of going to Tesco in the near future?

@Po

I am not sure whether it is one-way or two-way

you people are ranting on the same tnb subject over and over again. please set up a another web and rant there.. let others talk about other matters. admin was right, don’t flood. just mention it 1-2 times and go away. Thank you
