just invest since so cheap compare to hk, can buy 10 units even ur budget limit haha

This project started at rm700psft failed already go back to rm500psft. Now they stuck so they use rental returns as a trap to trap buyers by promising 7% rental returns. In fact, they charge you higher price then give you some money back slowly. At the end of the day the buyers are the water fish.

@Lol

RM500psft is awesome, right?

@Lol
the actual external finishing is good, they really doing well on the rotate round slab
it is impressive!

any owner been called up to sign a consent letter regarding changes of approved plan?

any owner been called up to sign a consent letter about changes of approved plans? u guys went & sign already?

Yup buyers have been called up to sign a consent letter on changes of approved plans.

What changes they made? I had recently call up to check on their latest promotion for GUARANTEED RENTAL RETURN, I think it is a concept of home stay. This not fair to existing buyer and we have to share the swimming pool with outsider? What about security???

Existing buyer pls make some calls to their office, file some complaints otherwise we will get suffer!

@Fat & Curious

did not receivw any calls from them, when u receive their call?

@Roger Rabbit
changes of what?

Is there any 700-800sqft units available? I heard that has been fully sold out. Is it worth buying with the new GRR package? Need some advise here.

@S

They made changes to their plans after the signing of the SPA. So they got buyers to sign another consent letter that they allow the developer to do so

@Lol
Hi

tks for your insight but why you have this comments ?

seems like will be complete and handing over this year

This project was first launched more than 5 years ago (correct me i I am wrong) in QBM. Initial they launched it as a luxury 1000Sqft onwards condo. I went to the road show and the salesman is so LANSI that don’t bother give me a broucher. I have to ask for the broucher like a beggar. When he knew that my budget is below RM400k, straight tell me I can’t afford for this project and gave me the broucher very unwillingly. My wife was very angry that time and shoot the salesman “We need the broucher to justify whether this project worth the money that you are mentioning.”. Now I guess my wife is right, this has becomes a worthless project. The turn it into SOHO because not much seller is interested and until now still got leftover units.

@Miao Miao
but the outcome seems like WOW~

Externally it looks nice, but I’m afraid it is useless to look nice from outside. The rounded walls create a lot of space wastage, so a 1000sf unit might appear to look like a 800sf unit. Location-wise, I wouldn’t say bad, but just look at Raffel, people who can afford to pay top dollars just don’t find this area conducive to stay. Furthermore, with the label SOHO, meaning you always have strangers going in and out, that makes it even worse.

@SweePing
yes agreed, the shape provide some outstanding visual design but it sacrifice the space.

location wise, very center of penang island but not a prime area.

SOHO right, always have strangers going in and out, somemore developer is going to coop with air bnb but dont forget private lift is allocate for every unit.

buyers need to spend a lot of money making custom made furniture !

@britney spears
yes, depends on what unit u own

nowadays all ID renovation also custom made what

@S

In a typical condo wihout curves at least owners have the option of buying loose furniture which can be alot of difference compared to custom made ones.

@britney spears
yes, got your point.

facebook search spark architect, the uploaded site progress photo shoot by drone is WOW!!

OMG y no ppl comment tis project anymore?

It’s a great design condo (exterior) but at a so-so location. So can’t sell well.

I bet if this Arte-S is located at Gerney Drive / STP / The Light / Tanjung tokong/bungah……then it will be different story already, all people will rebut buy it, buying not because it is a condo, but rather it looks ICONIC in these high class location.

There’s not enough good quality cafe/restaurant along Jalan Bukit Gambier, hopefully this project can change that

pay a site visit on arte s today, the finishing work and the view are CRAZY!!!!

@Builder
how crazy hahaha :p

@Kacang Putih
dunno how to describe, must have a look when it is complete

I’m interested with Arte S.
Any seller want to let go their unit?

no ultraman eyes any more……
computer draw is easy but build is another story.

Sbuyer :
no ultraman eyes any more……
computer draw is easy but build is another story.

Got wat, who said don’t have, did you really go and take a look

Sbuyer :
no ultraman eyes any more……
computer draw is easy but build is another story.

Better dont, incase that ultraman eyes drop then wat will happen…dont ply ply

yes, still got 2 biji
but the glasses is not same as 3d perspective drawing show above
the glass is flat not sphere.

So, is it CCC obtained?
vacant possession?

Is this project worth to buy with the GRR of 7%?
They are selling about RM687psf which is quite expensive for this area.

@Andy

If you are looking for good value, buy from secondary market. The prices of similar products in secondary market is at least 20-30% cheaper now, because those who went in for speculation a few years ago cannot hold on anymore due to very very slow market. So good bargains to be found there. Whereas if you look at prices from developers, it cannot go any much cheaper because their cost is high (land + new material at today’s price).

CCC obtained?

any purchaser get the house key d? quality good?

@Builder

Finishing to me is not too bad, they are doing a good job. But swimming pool a bit too small. No compensation for late hand over for those who purchased 2014 and above.

@Arte s
hi, you are block A owner?
any news for the block B ccc status?

Looks like they r going to start home stay! Every1 can going in now

T hotel start operate d.

That bad?

Any anti Hotel T grouping? When we purchase this Condo, no 1 tell us that they are going to operate the T hotel. Numestro is su*ck developer.

@resident it is commercial title, so you cannot complain people operating business there.

At some point you are right, but we need to consult legal adviser what option we have especially dealing with this profiteer.

We are paying RM3++ maintenance fees and still we have to share the facilities with outsider? What about security? Can you guarantee these guess will not do something bad to the facilities residents and the resident (especially the resident)? Don’t mention we are buying this condo @ 800k-1m+!

There are lot’s of choices for 800k-1m project, obviously if we have been informed earlier, we will not consider this project/developer.

Even super condo also got people do illegal homestay / AirBnB lah……your 800k-1m condo so what the big deal ?

Oh…..Wow..Sorry for not able to count….r you the owner of 1 of this thing you mention?

“Serviced apartments” are commercial units, fully-furnished, with services such as housekeeping, room service, and concierge. They are usually rented out for short-term or long term to tourists, business travellers, or expats. On the other hand, condos are private properties meant to be occupied by homeowners or long-term tenants. However, the lines are often blurred between the two types of properties these days.

The core difference is that the land status of condos is “residential”, whereas the land status of serviced apartments is “commercial”. The laws, regulations and functions surrounding these types of properties are quite different, and can affect buyers’ legal rights and lifestyles.

Property Type : Service Suites / SOHO.
See the property type this is service apartment so not wrong for Hotel T / homestay / AirBnB to operate at this building. Anyhow pls check with the lawyer for the exact property type for this Arte s.

No issue with SOHO for mid and long term tenant as we will know who to refer to whenever there are a problem, but not short term with a title of “HOTEL” . This will impact quality of owner who will resident it. The main concern is the security for sure. Please imagine if there are a group of 8-10 families member stay for a night with RM 3++ and all of them jump into swimming pool or gym……what for we pay RM 3++ maintenance fees? For outsider to occupy ?

I believe there are a group of resident formed a committee to against this illegal operation of “Hotel”. We’ll see how it goes.

For those resident out there, please try to ask around to join the group if you are still hanging around.

Hi all, what is the maintenance fee for Arte S? The title for this condo is commercial or residential?

seriously this development is overpriced, with high maintenance and bad worksmanship. room is small and in weird shape. very messy lift lobby and can see the poor quality and the design as well.

over priced, and somemore hotel residenace also very little. not recommended, such a big disappointed

@Resident
No matter you paid RM300 or RM3000 maintenance fee per month or 10 / 100 stranger jump into pool at the same time, fundamental counted. Definitely you wont win the case as the building title is commercial, business are allowed no matter hotel / motel / airBnB or whatsoever it call. You should consider all the factors include property laws before into the market. It required studies.

Hi all, is there any owner group created? Thanks.

just avoid investing on this shits..management/developer are not responsive on their work ..no one can really help you..im looking for owner group chat if there is any..need help..

@jshong89

Hi, may I know what is the room door size? Because I call numestro KL and Penang office they keep pushing and say no details. Ask me go take the measurements of the room door myself….. Anyone have the accurate room door details?
