@fujiapple
This is what the sales person told me. I don’ think they wish to stay in a condo, they enjoy their kampung life more. But this is the developer’s business to settle. Of course without the kampung beside will be more standard looking.

Unfortunately, from past experiences with developers are that slowness in construction does not translate into better quality. Slowness usually mean developers, contractors cannot solve problems quickly, properly, or financial issue, etc, sigh nia. Then, when near to SnP due date, then only rushing rushing like crazy and still bad quality, sigh nia. So, not kidding and lying to ourselves, though hopeful.

Im not prefer Type B due to the lift location. The lift & Type B unit share the small wall.

@fujiapple
Instead of depending on developer Facebook that very slow to upload latest progress photo, is there any site that can check out the progress photos?

@Adeline
Agree with you. Slow is not equal to quality. The best is delivery per the schedule date.

@Noname
Yes you are right, so now we have to wait and see. Hmm. Hope they won’t disappoint us.

They already disappoint ppl many years, will continue disappoint ppl in the future…

Well just cross finger and see.

Noname, im no idea .a lot of buyer here., they may create a fan page or watapps chat group to update the progress..

Yes, we may create a group same like BM city mall for further discussion.

Anyone create a fan page?

Lol, we don’t even know how many serious buyer out there. Will appreciate if anyone create a buyer discussion page.

Here!B level 10

here too…b level 30

I am B level 29

Maven :
I am B level 29

Maven, u really buy this condo already.. cost u how much.?
which point given u so confident to this project…

Loan approved. Not yet sign SnP. I bought Type B, market price is 490k. But after rebate left 440k. Why i choose this? My company is one of the sub con for this project for fire fighting part, and I know the background of the main con. Honestly, to be completed in 2017 is bullshit, at least beginning of 2018. But the sales person keep telling me is 2017, so we will see.

Good morning, I am from Blk A, Lvl 12,

Hey Maven, it’s a possibility. I think the phase that takes the longest period is the piling, once that done, it will be fast like stacking up Lego :)…anyhow, i dono wats the progress of the piling. No updates from them in Facebook, pretty crap!…

Signature launched Sep 2013, Prominence launched Aug 2013.
Signature completed Feb 2015. Prominence to be completed only 2018 ?
Now still ground zero leh. Same same standard like BM City Mall leh.

@PeaCe
I hope so, complete in time is the best. From what I know from my colleague who in charge this project, car park will be fully sprinkler, very good. But each floor will only have smoke detector, no hose reel and fire extinguisher.

this condo is building damn slow!!!!

I saw it last May, and now still stuck at level 6-7! OMG.

@deejay_C
If there’s 6-7 levels I would be happy to see that, the last i seen was still piling about a month ago 😀

Not bad if really 6 – 7 floors

Here!B level 10

hi i’m B level 10

New buyer here. Tower B Lvl 27

I saw the shop lots are now built up to 3rd levels…As for Condo, they are working on basement now, which I think piling done..

@PeaCe
Wow, good news.

@PeaCe
don’t think so leh…i’m yet to receive any letter from developer.
If piling completed, the developer will claim the progress billing stage 2a from bank as i apply 90% loan.

I passed by ther lastwek, I think d piling is almost done.3st done lot oledi.I knew d main con project manager, he told me they do lot on piling. By d way I’m from tower B, 10 floor..any neighbour here?

Kb, what u mean they do a lot on piling?

Is that common to finish shoplot first before condo? Wonder what the shoplot buyer will do if they get OC first.

The staff told me that they are going to collect the 1st progress payment in August.

I will sign SnP tomorrow at Bionic office in BM. See you all in 3 years time fellow neighbours.

@Maven

Yes….see you in 2 years plus’ time. Btw, Im from Blk A Lvl 12.

@Maven
can you help to snap the progress photo? or highlight to developer update their progress in fb..many thanks!

@Mainland
Too late, I already signed the agreement. The site is still in piling stage. 3-storey shop lots almost complete.

@Maven
Oh, it’s still piling still? Sorry Maven, info I got was starting working on basement car park. I’ve been deceived.

He told me do lot on piling so tat d base is strong enuf.

@PeaCe
Yes is still pilling. Maybe soon will proceed to basement

@kb
Good to have a strong base to hold 33 levels building.

It’s good to have a strong piling since nowadays we have earthquake happening quite often.

Ya, agree…please slowly do the piling…3 years of piling should be enough and strong…lol

@May Chan
I hope earthquake won’t happen in Malaysia. Haha

You all have confidence on properties in Penang Mainland? Can Mainland development reach the level of Island (at least somewhere close) near future? I would love to know. From a Kedah kaki

hi i’m tower B level 9

@Penang Lover

Now there are rapid development in the mainland. If Batu Kawan success will be a boost to mainland development. To par with island, I don’t think it will happens in this few years.

Will be Nice condo in Prai.
(Buyer unit Block A)

@Alif Marcus
Should be considered as a condo in Bkt Mertajam. As Prominence already located in the border line of BM. Haha. Love the location.

A few option.. Exo, Delima, Abel, Royal condo, Raja Uda and final I choiced here.

@Alif Marcus
Abel seems not bad. But Jayamas’s project like Dutamas and Casa already delayed. Or else, Abel is a very good project to invest.

Yes, they already delayed, but still faster than this turtle Prominence…lol

In Island also hv delayed project such as Artes n Starhill.
Here t faster.. Exo n Delima Condos lol.

i received message from bank that loan has been disbursed. Means loan payment start soon.

@SS
Good news.

Hi Alif Marcus, im from blk A Level 12, What abour you?

Hi.. Im from Tower 1 level 23A.
I like tower B but only left at 29th.

@Alif Marcus
Hmm, I’m tower B 29th.

…nice you all will b there!

@Alif Marcus
Hi I am tower B 25th Floor number 8

Hait TQ

Hi all, I am tower A F21.

…. wanna sign t snp next week.

@Alif Marcus
Good. Future neighbour.

Anyone visit the site recently? How’s the progress?

how is the sale? still got much unit leftover?

@Mainland
I think not much, leftover Bumi’s lot. You can visit their show room and ask for more details.

mine unit is 23A block C . Any neighbour here ?? ^^
just received letter from bank , Need to pay for interest already .

@teh
Block C ? only got 2 blocks la…

@Kai
thanks Kai.

I already bought a unit during 2014 , from block B =)
just concern on their sales status, hope don’t have much units left and all the buyers are for own stay.

longggggg time no update progress by them…anyone been to site to check out?

I saw busy progress at t site.. hope continuesly moving.

@Mainland
I think he meant Type C.

Just called the office. They had started sending out letter for 1st progress payment. Piling completed aldy. They are now in car park stage.

@May Chan
That’s what they told me too, but when I went see couple weeks ago, it’s still very much in piling progress…:)..can’t really believe them 100%..

Anyone wanna create a group for all the prominence buyer? just like BM city mall group, we can update all the info there.

@ LR

I just called them yesterday (Mon) and they told me that they had sent out letters to owners of Tower B. Tower A will receive letter maybe end of this month or early next month. I think one of the owner @ Teh here had received letter from them.

@ Penang Lover

Good idea. Does anyone here know how to create group?

Yes I did received letter from them. I am from Tower B =D

hope it can ready on 2017 is my first house =)

SS I think end year 2018 only can ready & get OC.

@Mainland Sry type wrong . Block B . Type C . 23A

@ Alif Marcus

Did u mean end of year 2017. They suppose to handover the condo by year 2017 according to S&P. The sales lady told me the completion will be Apr 2017. I asked her ‘sure or not’. She said YES!

What’s the progress right now? If they “really” got the piling done and start building the condo structure, then yes, possible to complete in 2017.

@May Chan
When you asked her? this few days? completed on April 2017 is a bit unbelievable. Just 1 year and 8 months from now, somemore just finished pilling. Scare of tofu job

Hi All, I don’t know how to create a group discussion but just simple create a facebook account. I have update the latest progress photo as of today. May add me on prominence-buyer@hotmail.com

Why developer didnt upload their progress photo..
Seen not active in the facebook offical page also …. or no solid progress at the site..???

prominence buyer: cant c your photo there

@prominence buyer
Wow great. Thanks for your effort.

@bb
Ya this is sucks, they haven’t update since May. Hopefully someone visit the site can tell them to do so.

May Chan.. that is my analysis result base on current Prominence construction progress and compared to other such as Skycube Residence even quick progress but completed target is Mar y2017. Prominence still at base stage. Signature condo also just O/C.

@ Alif Marcus @ Penang Lover

That was what the sales told me last week. The project can be completed by mid year 2017. Anyway we just wait n see. Can’t do anything about it since we had bought the unit aldy.

@ Prominence Buyer

Hi, I had sent friend request to you. Thanks for uploading the progress photos.

Hi, i want to ask, now can i apply EPF account 2 to pay the principle? Even though it’s just started to pay the 10%..

Anyone worried about our current economy and currency downfall? I worry Msia economy will collapse in short period of time. Is having a property will be much secure with facing a collapse economy? At least you got something in your hand if you cant get any money out from bank. Anyone can advise?

SS: Yes, you can. All they need is your S&P, bank offer letter and Deed of assignment. The staff never told me about how many % bank release to developer and etc, so it should NOT matter.

Penang Kia :

when an economy collaspe, property prices will be the first to collapse along. currency freefalling however will spur inflation.

If you are referring to Malaysia, I take the view that fundamentally it is still okay. TO buy a property today, one will need to know that an action bank negara can take today to support the currency is to increase interest rate

@ko
Thanks for your explanation. Thank you so much.

@PieCe
Thanks!

Hi there, is any1 receive release letter from developer? When it starts pay interest?any1 can advise?thks.

@ kb

Just received the letter today. Once your bank releases the payment, you need to service the interest already.

Anyone yet to receive the letter? I don’t even receive a call to take my SnP agreement after signed. They told me around 2 weeks to process but already one month past.

@maven
Im oso yet to receive my snp was sign on july,until now 1 month plus still not receive any call from lawyer ferm.

@Jefflin
Which block and floor you are?

you guys pay the interest already ? and they return you all back the money by month or by year ? Free DIBS sign early bird .

Nowadays currency drop so much, developer expensess indirectly will shoot up if still continue slow progress.. just doubt this developer wheather have so strong financial to fullfill all this promise or not…

Completed the building with solid quality, all the buyer must should laugh d…. the rest second pririority lah…. haha.. 😛

I visited the site yesterday. The notice board there wrote 575 days from getting C.C.C. Which mean within mid 2017 will completed. Lol

@maven
Im block B 10floor

anyone here know what’s the length of the living hall for Type B? how many feets?

I just paid the interest about 100+ and pass the receipt to Office yesterday.
They said will pay back to us around 1 month by cheque.
Besides, feedback from the sales, only got 30+ unit left.

@David
David, what’s that you mentioned that they will pay us back?

Pass by the site just now, first level done.

u mean first level for both blocks?

any photo to share…

@PeaCe
No la, car park and F&B shop lots

Hi, anyone received the 2nd letter from bank regarding the loan amount released? Mean we need to start pay interest every month now? (i am 2nd batch that promised with dibs buyer)

@prominence buyer

Hi, I’m from A-12-2, Merry X’mas to everyone.
Just now I went to the open house, who is the lucky winner?

@ Jill

They had announced the lucky winners in their FB. Too bad my name was not in the list

477k can consider signature… i have 1 unit to let go…

Hi any owner pass by prominence recently, is it the progress still at third floor? Any good news?

Just completed 6th floor. Now start to build 7th floor ( Residential )

Hi morning.
Wish all my future neighbours a very happy new year.
GONG XI FA CHAI

now is 7th floor…good news for all buyer?
what is th expected completion date?

@fujiapple
the garden / swimming pool done already? so fast lo

This is good location and proxy. Looking for 1 unit. Anyone know if it’s still available? What is the price per sqft now?

AHuat don’t wait. Yes good location n proxy. Visited there noon..
Definitely huge n best condo at Prai/BM (,” )(“, ).

I just pass by there~car park portion already done for Block B, Block A 90%

Heard office at site will be demolished to give way for the construction activities.

Just visited the site. Car park floors are already completed. Had spoken with the contractor. He said they are using prefabricated modular. This modular is faster than the traditional ones. One week can complete one floor. According to him, the project can be completed by next year.

prefabricated modular? is this method safe, strong and solid enough.
Later dont rush for completetion by next year end up quality issue will be anothers bad new for buyer..

Excited? Yeah….I hope the quality is good as well. One week for one floor is impressive.

prefabricated modular ?

Shortcut or construction technology? Other condo projects got use this method or not.
One week per floor ah, siau, most importantly are the strength and safety, quality is secondary side issue.

1 week 1 floor this normal. I saw a few condo in Island 1 week per floor.

This prefab construction is not new in the market but consider still new and unheard of in Malaysia. Other western & asian (for example S’pore) countries have been using this technology. It is faster and finishing (the wall) is better than the traditional one. You can search google and get more info about this technology.

There are few projects are doing this, prefab slab. Very fast construction, just like jig-saw puzzle. One of the landed projects in SP had using this method but got complaints that the joints always crack, even after plastered. I think PWC (Penang WorldCity) project is also currently using this method, very fast already so high up…

I saw some duo just comment without supported by knowledge, n without effort of goggling on the thing they don know. “Pass by” loitering so free also don want to take up the effort to learn just like rotten “apple”. Keep throwing negative comment just to stir?

Agreed with Fish.

“Some” of these ppl just like to condemn and criticise, they are either just too free or red-eye on something they don’t belong. Seen in many other forums. Get a life…

I saw some ppl quickly defending the construction without even bother to concern and verify on oth ppl comments whether true and valid or not. They don’t even want to understand why oth ppl is worry and react with comment. These Oth ppl may be their future neighbours too or their future customers.
These ppl must be either too free also or too worry any chances these comments might be true, so better see no evil, hear no evil. Very fishy and WhatFor read everything as negative comment.

Fishy is not creative as a copy cat
Fish comment because fish know and verified the details anyway.
And I also know, all that leave comment here are too freeeee to read through junk comment.

So what is the latest progress? Anyone pass by there recently?

Last Friday passed by there. Not much progress, still at car park floors.

HMM… If all the buyers can choose again.. i believe most of them will perfer Vertu Resort Condominium at Batu Kawan.. May be Vertu Resort Condominium able complete earlier than Prominence..

Bought Prominence 1 unit than buy Vertu 1 unit lol.

@why
Hell no, too far for me….i work in Butterworth area.

there are no more office at the site there.. how to contact them?

Main Office at KWSP building Georgetown 15th floors.

Hi all

Just to update on the progress status….now slowly moving up to 8th floor as of yesterday site visit.

wah…taken so long time just reach 8th floor?

@May Chan
I thought they said can build one level in one week? lol

@ Jeff

That was what the Contractor told me. But we don’t know the 7th floor was started from which month….. maybe they just started this month?

One week, one floor as per plan.
In reality, 2 months, 8 weeks, one floor.
Add one floor only since Feb ?

@May Chan
Maybe, we wait and see. haha

The building currently is using system formwork to construct the structural of the building, starting from the typical floor, eg.: Level 7 onwards.

Normally if the contractor is familiar with the system formwork, 1 week/7 days for one floor is possible. If not, it may required 9-10 days to complete for one floor.

Can foresee that the structural part will be slow down once it reach the sky bridge level.

Progress update: Blk B on 9th flr, Blk A on 8th flr.

Thanks for the updates May Chan.

@May Chan
Can share any photo of progress?

I would like to share but how to up load?

anyone can share the site progress to me?
Send it to my mail : taekyler@yahoo.com

Thanks.

Block B reaching 10th floor. The hv install another sky crane today.

any idea what’s the selling/market price right now?

hmm.. not yet complete how we know the market price… u want to buy?

Of course based on the current selling price from developer on units still available…considering..

@Jefflin
You can try to email to penangpropertytalk’s admin via email, they can update the picture of this site. I will try to take some if I pass by, anyone who took photo from the site can send to admin as well.

@Penang Lover
Noted

Just saw their official FB share some progress photo… shotlot start painting..!

Any promotion now?

Super fast construction now, Block B at level 16 while block A at level 14.

@kelvin
oh,thats good..it will be slow down when reaching the connecting bridge..

hi, anyone know what is the target date of completion. ?

@bb
Mid of July next year

Including OC obtain ? or just completion of the building ?

@kelvin
I’m not sure, but you can go and check the notice board at the site there, written will be completed by next year July or mid of 2017 with C.C.C obtained.

Which floor now?progress smoothly… long time no pass thru..

@ bb

They had posted progress photos in their facebook yesterday.

HI, If there will complete Mid of july 2017, so means that will delay for who had sign the S&P on April 2014.
May i know who is signed the S&P on april 2014?

actually completed at which floor now?

Block A level 18 and block B level 20

Can anyone confirm this. Is the balcony guarding is fully glasses or just steel guarding? I remember for the show unit, the guarding is full glass and they confirm this is the actual that going to build. Went to on site today and saw that they just install the steel guarding. It make the external look not so good if compare to glass guarding.

har?have this state clearly in SNP.. if not.. this is not fair to all buyer…

har?have this stated clearly in SNP.. if not.. this is not fair to all buyer…

Kelvin, is this confirm? Have you tried check with developer? We can argue with them to change.

Yes. I Saw few units already install with steel guarding instead of fully glasses as what promised before.

@Wayn

confirm is mild steel railing
please check properly on your sales and purchase agreement

if SNP did not mention clearly whether using fully glasses or stell guarding..
then what we can do?

So call 1st grand project in Malaysia and developer with multiple awards in oversea …
how they can do this? Developer shinning their Brand from this project and their reputation..??

contract by law u can’t do anything..

@bb
If it does not state what type of material to be used, that means developer is free to choose whatever they think they want..can I say so? Grey area, dude..

I went t site today.
Yes they change to steel. Soon they will inform the reason due to safety!

how can they change without inform buyer?is it lier?they tell u the reason is due to safety?

developer’ right to change it, i blief cost saving is the main reason to do so.

Of cuz it’s cost saving as we know A…u really think safety is the main reason? that reason can only apply to kids. many condos out there use glasses…

Called the office this morning. Yes, reason given is due to safety

@May Chan
sales time said glasses,now say like tat,really lier developer!!

dunno future still got how many changing of inside building!!

Just call the developer,same reason due to safety, even though i ask why other condo like The Signature can use glass, they replied me was the developer more brave to do that (what a funny answer for me)! I ask them any other item will change with inform, they told me “NO’! when i want to pass over to my wife talk to the guy, he directly hang up the call and the rude polite service too!

@ Kabuto

It seems that this developer has a bunch of inexperience so called architects!. We buyers are cheated by this untrustworthy developer. Just keep our fingers crossed that there won’t be any downgrading changes in the coming months.

they launch this project just before 2013 merdeka at QBM. That time, it was the Signature competitor. After that, 2013 merdeka, 2014, 2015, 2016 merdeka all already over, but still in construction lah. Sian nia. The Signature already stayed, flipped, rented already.
If they cut cost, then, I bet it won’t be just the balcony area, surely they are more than that, we have not found out. Sian nia again.

Guys of there are any more changes and you feel you have been misled please name and shame on facebook and make sure this developer can never survive in penang again! Spread the news over facebook !
