sales person inform that about RM400-RM450 psf, 550 sf studio will be RM220k-RM240k, very expensive & over price !

@Mok
welcome to penang

Launch already?

Sales office said in Aug…….btw, Administrator might have left out another 6 units of penthouse which ranged from 1,500 sq ft to 2,270 sq ft with pricing exceeding RM1.0 mil.

Don’t buy

@ST Khor
Any studio left?

@psy
Why don’t buy?

Nowady people always scream expensive when new project launching.
But people still buying.

Hi islander_ori,

What are you going to do with it after you buy it? Flip? Stay there? Rent out? Operate an escort service there?

That location doesn’t deserve such high price!!!! Any few good reason why people wanna to invest there?

PJD will offer 7% return for this kind of service apartment. if not mistaken, last project wellesley residence have same offer for 1st 2 year.
Owner can relax for next 2 year if purchase this BUT, is a kind of gamble on after 5 years ( 3 years contruct + 2 years run by PJD) market derseve this kind of price/rental or not.

Do note that this is a commercial titled project. Hopefullly they keep building, over-supply over demand time we buyers will have better bargaining power…haha

After some consideration, I think this property ok..not too bad. If the studio unit is facing the sea, then it is even better.

This project have 7% return?

Anyone of you consider buying?

u guys can go to this web to check out. Seaview rent for RM800onward, Ocenview RM1.4k onward. Got 7% boh??? what is the selling price??

http://www.pjdprop.com.my/leasing.php

@condomana
Can rent out, can consider with 7% return offer.

400 – 450 psf? Wow!

I was wondering, how much the rent for this property going to be? 1K, 2k? Anyone here still renting and will you choose this place over the other?

@D.MAN
Used to rent out Sea View for 1.5k monthly for 1300 sqft. Sold last yr with decent profit RMXXXK. Of course last time the unit <RM200k. 400 – 450 psf is last 1-2 yrs southeast penang island price. What i could say renting there is good. Lot's of foreigner and college students.

@SV
how is the rental demand for studio unit?

@islander_ori
Unsure of that. But seems studio are more for college students. As PJD already scrap the college plan within Harbour Place, else it will be good for future rental. Reasons why Harbour Place is a better rental place within the mainland than in BM, SP, Mak Mandin, etc.

1. Security concern. Condos quite limited in mainland and Harbour Place stand out most of them in terms of facility and security. Those undergrad prefer condos than landed.
2. Easy access to Raja Uda. Food, Kopitiam, Restaurants, Saloon, etc.. within 5km.
3. Close to ferry. Weekends can go Georgetown for shopping. Close to Penang Bridge. 10mins drive. 5mins if you don’t mind pay 50c toll.
4. Close to Sunway Carnival…Shopping + GSC cinema. Prai Megamall for cheap cloths.
5. Near Ferry easy access to banks… All local banks, Standard Chartered, HSBC.
6. Potential development there… Penang Sentral…Future Fast Train…
7. PJD top 30 Dev in Malaysia. Quality and finishing not bad not top like SP Setia, Mah Sing, IJM but definitely better than Tambun Indah, etc..
8. I like the most there… near Ah Khoon Loh Mee.. Hahaha

Just my 2 cents

@SV2
base on your 8 good points, i suggest PJD should sell the unit at RM500 psf, higher the selling price to avoid ‘property goreng’.

@Mok

What’s the point?

Hi islander_ori,

This is PJD’s usual trick (they have been using this trick since their 1st condo project in that area). They will guarantee rental for first couple of years (of which the cost has been factored into the selling price, something like DIBS). So, PJD could be renting out the units at rentals far below the 7%, but it doens’t matter coz the buyer pays for the 7% anyway…:)

So you should look beyond the rental guarantee period. But for those who have missed out the property price boom boat in the last few years, and thinking that the trend would continue, they would normally come to the conclusion that even they get extremely lousy rental after the 7% guarantee period, the property would have appreciated another 100-200k by then (based on PAST TREND), so more gain than lost….!!…:)….Well, think again.

But the 7% return is not confirmed. No package announced yet.
The thing I’d like to know if there will be seaview for the studio units.

just drop by to PJD sales office yesterday . Sales staff eventually informed that price is starting from RM240,000 onwards only. Just wonder whether this project is good for investment as i am first time buyer. Need further advise.

Fuyooh…. All I can say is…….. that is the MOST expensive high rise in Butterworth…

Tambun Indah needs to catch up (in pricing) liao..

It’s the location that commands the price.

240k include renovated and furnish?or original?can purchase now?

@Unker Ho
tambun indah not a good reputation company, the quality & management also not up to standard, therefore the selling price cannot set same as PJD, IJM etc. However Tambun Indah still set high price for the project such as Straight Garden condo at Jelutong, almost 1 year plus still not finished selling the units.

Can buy if u hv extra cash to burn for few years

550sf is original or furnished unit?

@Unker Ho
Fuyooh, tambun indah supporter here. Carry on your dream that Tambun Indah will one day will be a reputable developer. For tambun Indah, u will regret in buying their property with such a high price. The are using almost the low cost spec for all their project and will have no subsale value. People will jus run away, a very good example Juru Heights, seriously a failed project and failed devloper. Please dont compare apple with watermelon.

@kabutol
PJD never sell partial or full furnished condo units, maybe new project will give surprise. Last 2 projects the studio size is 650sf, now become smaller to 550sf, after Woodsbury, i think for the future new project, the studio size will further reduce to 500 or 450sf.

This is a golden opportunity to buy before the price going up again! Why? The Penang Sentral is coming, and will have transportation hub, shopping mall, hotels, residential all together, and certainly will bring up the value of the property at that location, mainly for Butterworth area. The undersea tunnel is coming too, and Penang Governor is supporting it.

Well, Penang Island condominium is now at average RM500psf now, for 1000sf is well above RM500k; this has move a lot of buyers to well established town in mainland like Butterworth and Bukit Mertajam.

Eventually will still sold out..

So anyone decided to invest in this property?

@Ah Dog
So, u said B.W. condo price will reached RM 500psf soon..?

@Ah Dog
state govt cakap pandai saja, Penang Sentral project almost propose 10 yrs plus, still not start construction; for sea tunnel project, wait for another 15 yrs lah. Property in Butterworth easily to hit RM500psf if reputation companies such as IJM, Mah Sing, PJD continue to launch new projects.

@Kim Hee
Yes, you got the point, if those giant developer to continue launching new projects with RM550psf (like Relau Setia Sky Vista), or RM700psf till 1000psf at Southbay; then, B.W condo will sooner reach RM500psf. Now subsale price on Condo in good area like Putra Place Leasehold condo already at RM550psf; Bukit Jambul Indah Alpine Tower Condo already at RM500psf, also leasehold; very high density freehold condo like D-Piazza, and Idaman Iris also at RM500psf, what you expect for? Old apartment like N-Park and U-Garden also at RM500psf now!

Oh, ya, Balik Pulau still can get RM260psf for an apartment like P3 Residence; while Teluk Kumbar can get RM400psf for a condo like The Platinum III.

Conclusion:- by end of this year, a typical condo in Penang Island will at well above RM500psf; while new launch will well above RM550psf. So in mainland, averagely will be at RM400psf for location like B.W. (go and ask the BM City Mall price :))

Im newbie here. What is the difference btw service apartment & typical condo?

If mainland apartment RM500psf than we but landed property better, just RM250psf. only in mainland.

Landed property like Orange Garden, Maple Residence, Palm villas all got full facilities like swimming pool, club house, playground etc. just less than RM250psf.

Orange Garden, Maple Residence, Palm villas are not in this location. Even
this area is better than Raja Uda.

@100
lol… RM250psf is few years ago, now palm villas sold at 650k, that time condo only around RM200psf.

@MOG
Service apartment will be commercial title.
Cukai Tanah/ Pintu/ Water Bill/Electricity/ Telephone Bill will be higher then normal residential title.

Advantages: U can convert become hotel that rental daily. No one will kacau u.
Disadvantages: As stated above, sometime u may meet up some “Chicken” stay next door with u.

Personal feeling the design very “Chin Chai”. Out look like low cost house standing front of Mega Mall, Pacific.
Hope PJD will do something better looking of design since building outlook very important.
Flat Flat design look like lady without better Body Shape, hard to sell.

Better look for residential title project if u want to buy and stay.
take the lesson from BM City Mall, I saiD: Is a fail project which i can see Now; even not yet build to 1st Floor.

@Kim Hee
don’t worry, PJD is expert developer, they know how to promote & marketing the project, i trust their management, look at Sea view & Park view condos, the building maintenance still look great & new although more than 5 years, management is very important when buying condo/apt. Many condo projects look ugly & old after 3 years because of poor quality of paint, poor management etc.

@Mok
Let see got anything interesting been offer.
If have no activities as shopping mall or other development carry on nearby. It will be very high investment risk to buy service apartment on the location.
Swiss Garden Hotel been talk more then 5 year and shopping mall also the same.
Hopefully PJD staff will saw this forum and get some feed back to management.
Want to share some idea= Straits Garden By Tambun Indah in Penang service apartment; wont be success even been sold all, let see after occupied OC for 5 years.

Don’t tell me Econsave will be upgraded and middle high income consumer will shopping on that place.
Anyone know Econsave was buy over by Econsave group or just rental agreement to PJD; If yes what was the contract of rental.

Are we going to buy the condo units or are we going to buy Econsave ?

@Wonder
It will reflect the value of Property in the future, If Econsave was long term there; i will look for other investment opportunity.
Anyway, will call to sales office to confirm.

Econsave should be upgraded and charge extra 20% more will only then
reflect the value of the property ?

@Kim Hee
from the PJD illustrated picture, there are 2 blocks of condo or office will be built on the site of Econsave in future, therefore i think Econsave will be ”gone” one day. Staff informed that a shop lots build in front or beneath condo, not shopping mall, no plan to buy Woodsbury, if wanna stay Harbour Place, i prefer Wellesley Residence or Sea View.

@Mok
Yup, same as me. unless price was include the renovation..

ya lo,no renovation,no worth…

so, waiting when they launch and have a look on that day.

this area will be the next Penang Sentral. However, it all depends on PJD. I think PJD is a big developer, so should be no problem to develop as per their master plan.

I do agree if to buy this Woodsbury, might as well buy Wellesley Residences.

When is the official launching of this project?

I just came back from sales office today, the sales girl told me the launching will be in end Aug or early Sept.

how psf? ant promotion package?

how much psf? ant promotion package?

got free S&P & Loan Agreedment?

Anyone wanna let go “Seaview Tower” next to “Wellesley Residences”?
As i know from PJD sales person said many Existing Seaview Tower buyer buying “Wellesley Residences” project?
I interested to buy one, please e-mail me kentteh47@yahoo.com
Prefer higher floor. Thanks.
Just try my luck here…

Sorry, my email should be: kentteoh47@yahoo.com

still no news?

@kabutol
woodsbury official launch on 8 Sep 2013 (sunday), the show unit available for view are 750 & 920sf.

will same camelia park sold out??550sf sold out already?

@kabutol
let’s find out on next Sunday. I think sales respond not as good as Camellia because info from sales person Woodsbury is RM400-RM450psf compare with Camellia only RM310-RM320psf.

wah,400psf very exp?got include furnish?

RM450psf is kinda high ler..

Anyone know the selling price? Any special promotion or not??

@lluna
go to find out this Sunday (8-9-2013), early bird got 8% + 3% rebate.

wah,got 11%?got 11% still 450psf??

As i know the Econsave is under short term rental renewal agreement with PJD.. heard Econsave thinks the rental is getting higher and might not renew their contract if the rental get too high for them to retain profit… If Econsave really is gone, hope they will get a more high class Anchor tenant to occupy as a Mall there….

Anyone know Sandilands at Georgetown? There is 1 unit at 7th storey of 24th storey facing river, about (rm555psf) with 2 car park. DIBS and free lega fees on SPA.. Worth to buy? Or I can find better?

Actuallynim keen in landed hs…

Actually I’m keen in landed hs…

@ES
Econsave will be ‘gone’ one day, the land belongs to PJD will build condo in future. Just went to check the condo price launching today, the most expensive price psf in Butterworth, i,e, from RM410-RM430psf. For eg: 550sf (10th floor) is RM248k, 750sf (20th floor) is RM354k, 918sf (34th floor) is RM428k & 1250sf (11th floor) is RM538k. All the price before rebate of 8% + 3%, and 1 carpark. Additional carpark is RM18k.

@Daphne

“There is 1 unit at 7th storey of 24th storey facing river, about (rm555psf)
with 2 car park”.

What do you meant by 7th storey of 24th storey ?

i went to launching event this morning, surprise the selling price hit new record of RM420-RM435psf in Butterworth, very nice buffet food provided, just ate the food & walked away, not worth to buy, prefer landed property in mainland.

yup nice beffet, electric under commercial rate, water is residence rate, maintance fee 25cent psf, some unit no balcony and some unit have 3 balconies, weird? feel this project abit sohai, thats y gt 11% rebate, 2morow go eat buffet again ==

@SP

Sandilands has two tower, 24th storey. I Hv 1 unit from agent located at 7th Floor. That tower has 5 storey carpark, 6th floor is podium. Do u know about this development ?

@Daphne

I think better go to Sandilands site. It comes with 2 car park or you have to
buy 1 ? I had to buy one.

@SP

Need to pay extra 25k for 2 carpark. . Hv 2 units to choose, 7th floor facing river and 19th floor facing city (corner unit). Dilemma.. 750k can get a landed hs in penang ?

@Daphne

You can get an old single storey terrace house only.

all 918sf sold for see penang island…..but see butterworth still many 918 and 550sf avalaible!!

@SP
An olded single storey house but need renovated alot for sure..

just wonder which direction will be blocked by future projects?

@surrin
all directions will be blocked, just buy the units facing swimming pool, most lower units facing swimming pool already booked.

thanks Mok,but don’t understand as you said all directions will be blocked, meaning that it would be surrounded by other projects .from the picture of launching in their sales office I can see only two blocks of building model to replace the Econsave and where is the rest.i really like sea view, think to grab one for holiday home.Also is the 550sqt comes with balcony?

@surrin
although behind woodsbury is not belong to PJD, but nobody knows who will develop in the future, currently is squatter houses. Don’t buy 550sf because the living room has no window, it is very dark & air cannot circulate.. (only bedroom got window).

if u really like the location, only 918sf suitable to stay, but very expensive, RM400k plus. 750sf is good for stay & investment. However, i do not buy because i think the price of RM400++psf is high, developer selling future price.

thanks Mok,so weird for the 550sqt without window in living room,what kind of design is that..haha.by the way,i have never been this place for 20 years,will take a visit there to view the layout plan of 750sqt unit.

I bought a 918 sf unit. Can anyone advise which bank loan is the best?

@Linda_Lim 918sf how many car park? Seaview?

@Linda_Lim
how much it cost and at which floor?

Went to see showhouse unit today, impress with the ID! The downside is the surrounding, full of atap house, but stay high level should be ok. The artist impression picture show greeny everywhere, when u go there u will disappointed, may be better when full develop by PJD.

guys, please compare the actual floor plan & the show house plan you see it, their showhouse actually change alot of the plan (*so now you see it although only 500sqt but looks like 700sqt), pls confirm in future that u can change your plan that same with their showhouse internal plan. So, bravo to the ID team! Just my advice.

Full of people on show unit by today is Raya Haji, consider to take in 750sqft unit as weekend holiday house.

What is the price now?

This Saturday launch tower B…price maybe from rm268k for 550sf.

This Saturday launch tower B…price maybe from rm268k for 550sf. Another price increase compare to previous tower A.

@Wb73
550sf is the worst layout design by PJD, no window at Living room, just like prison cage.

@Mok
Feel true also.
Wellesley layout better.
How much was the maintenance fee’s/ sqft?

any rebate about tower b?

anyone who interested to apply loan with good rate and package
pls drop me an email.
mortgageloan168@gmail.com

(direct under bank, NOT outsource)

Whats the launching price n rebate for tower b launch?

@EK
Cash rebate of 8% + 3% for booking on 2/11 & 3/11/2013. Compare with Tower A, price of Tower B already increase 8%. Respond of Tower B so so only, for those who buy 550sf & 750sf, treat it as hotel room because kitchen area no window, for 550sf, living room no window, owner need to turn on the light even daytime. Average price of Tower B is RM435psf, forn 550sf, the selling price is RM268k (after rebate), meanwhile for 750sf, about RM331k.

Not too bad… the studio size with renovation show room look ok. Without window, owner can leave the main door open and the room door open, so adequate sunlight can reach the living room. If u stay high enough, so be ok to get more sunlight. Overall with the modern facility, the price tag is still ok for the studio type. Those who purchase earlier already gain some saving compare to tower B. Look good.

Overall look is ok, dunno extra car park how much? I bought 1250sqft.
Yesterday bit quiet compare with pre-launch.

@Wb73
in my opinion, the layout of Ocean View & Wellesley much much better than Woodsbury, my friend bought 650sf at Welllesley facing swimming pool with less than RM200k during launch (after rebate), very good deal.

tower B pricing damm expensive, not worth buying….

Hi Vicky, Congrats on your new property purchase. Do you have any introducer to share incentive with you? Kindly contact me if you are interest in introducer incentive for your suites. (016-413 0930 / jeff_cxw86@hotmail.com). @vicky

@joker
sales of Tower B really bad, so far about 40 units booked or about 20% of total units of 240, poor layout & expensive price the main factor.

To new buyer, who wana get additional introducer incentive rebate, let me know. Email: pantoprazole@gmail.com

ah beng :what is the progress stage now? can someone upload the photo? kindly appreciated!

now is clearing and doing the piling work.

@JJ

Prime area my foot lah! With those container trucks zooming around, how prime can it become? Hahahahaha….!!!!

Those who can really afford prime would not choose this area. Those who cannot really afford prime, but still want to “look” prime, ah, maybe lah, just close one eye with the container trucks loh……:))

Any update on the details new hotel build near wellesley (not by the pjd)? How high?

@PakHaiLang

Im not worried with container truck, my unit is high floor. Anyway Woodsbury is not immediate at the road side, there is a row of shops, inside road infront before the residential block. Worry me is those 550sf studio sales r poor, due to no window at the living room. How pjd is going to dispose those units in future. Worst off, they turn into office or hotel units then the residential subsale in future will be compromised due to privacy lost. Hope there is no people stupid enuf buy for invest

@PakHaiLang,
You didn’t know the Penang Sentral is coming? KL people will take 3 hours only to reach here. Seems like you are hiding under the well. Don’t cry when the price shooting up. I bet you are living with mom since cannot afford to buy your own home. Keep on staying with mom and dream on.

@ EK

The Hotel if not mistaken will be Swiss Garden by PJD together with the mix development of offices, Shopping Complexes and maybe some residential units. 550 studios sales might not be strong but I doubt they will change it back to commercial units.

JJ :

you seem hard selling this project. good job !

@JJ

Ohh…Penang Sentral, the one they have been talking about for donkey years but still cannot realize mah. It will be the bus hub, like Pudu Bus Central mah!!…:))….You know Pudu Bus station in KL right??…..Hahahaha…..got a lot of bus jam and bus exhaust one leh! Again, jam and exhaust aside, you should know by now how much priority they put on this. It “started” before the 2nd link started, and still “starting” after the longest cross-sea bridge in SEA is completed!

I heard they are awarding this project to their “best sub contractors”, “best” from bottom lah that is!…..Hahahahaha….

Friend, wake up lah, this area is doomed. But PJD has no choice, because they already bought the land. So they just have to keep on “bullshitting” their way through, keep launching shitty stuff until they pass all the rotten eggs to water fish like you loh…..:)

If this is your first property purchase, just treat it as a lesson loh. You still have many years to go (my guess), examine what you have done wrong, learn from it, you will do better next time. But if you refuse to face your mistake, you will then never learn, then same mistake will be made again.

i chose harbour place rather than tambun and juru where its a up coming hotspot area coz nearby ferry terminal. i can walk to take ferry to island. and also confidence with PJD which is top10 developer!

@PakHaiLang

it may take some times to build penang sentral, but definitely it is not simple as pudu bus station. bus, ferry, railway train n future high speed rail will cross at this point. Currently there is ongoing project, high speed rail connecting sg to kl. look forward to phase 2 extend to butterworth and bangkok. This is one of my reason to buy WS bcoz I had a condo at KL just beside LRT. In future both my houses are connected to each other by train. May consider buy another house in JB or Bangkok in future xD

Big Scale of mixed development by PJD is at harbour place?

@EK

Wah!….super ho liau ah! Your Pg-KL train can suddenly “jump track” from interstate line to LRT line, and then go straight to your KL home beside LRT station ah! Hahahaha…..Si peh tua kong leh!!

Oh hang on, here’s a good one. Just hop on the “amphibian supersonic ferry” at Penang ferry terminal, the ferry will take you from penang to butterworth, after which the amphibianic function would kick in, whereby the ferry will get on the train track, going at supersonic speed from penang to KL, switch track, then send you all the way to your KL doorsteps in 15 mins…..:)

@EK , other country may be possbile , BolehLand ? may can be happen too but is for your kids not u….. wake bro…. be realistic by fact… what is yr age now ? lol

@PakHaiLang

I dint mean lrt is direct to butterworth. Can always take lrt to kuala lumpur ktm train station. I dont like current ktm train. Just hope that high speed train sg-kl will extend to butterworth, it will be extra bonus. Im not investor. Even everything tak jadi, no HSR, penang sentral, i will be happy riding bicycle using old ferry, enjoy the breeze, riding at future island coast bicycle lane. It is a great pleasure to me =)

@EK

OK. But I think the concern you highlighted above regarding the commercial units downstairs is something worrisome. If the project is located in Gurney, its less of a headache. But butterworth, eehh…well….pray hard my friend.

@PakHaiLang

You only know Gurney and it’s less of a headache ? Are you sure ? The shop
lots in Paragon I hope will be able to sustain looking at their businesses
and the set-up of the building.

To those still denying the fact that good projects or development by reputable developer is a good investment, I don’t know what to say. Look at Ocean View, launched 2009 @ RM250k for 1000 sq ft, now pricing at RM440k. RM360k is auction price, can just do propertyguru search, I’m not bluffing.

Some might said bad about Penang Sentral, yes it is true Pudu is worse construction and KL Sentral is not that grand. But PakHaiLang, did you own any condo near that place?? You know how much is the price psf now?? Keep complaining about the stupid construction and live on with your dream. Only owners of good building keep making money.

I am not promoting this project just because I am marketing for it. Even those who want to buy it thro the sales person there can go ahead. I just want to make a clear picture of what this project means and its potential in future. The rental of all the PJD condos are high. Don’t mark my words, just search the web and see.

Yah, if you have tons of money can just invest in island anytime, but for those who is not so wealthy, can start it from here.

Ha ha ….interesting !! Pros and Cons. The future is quite uncertain but the future look bright for those with holding power. Butterworth is my hometown and I happened to own my business right at that Jalan New Ferry. I have been there for more than 10 years. I seen it from good to bed. For many residents move away because of new developments than people started to move back into the new condo.
One good thing is luckily PJD is a big company who have money to build and sustain a slow start but I see the future look bright in this area. It is a strategic location which is close proximity to all the areas. You want to get on the bridge or ferry is very convenient. You want to go to Raja Uda, Prai and Chai Leng park is also very close by. When the commercial phase is ready this place will be one of the prime area in Butterworth.
With the current trend it seem like everyone invest in the property 3 years ago almost make a good profit for it is getting more and more expensive to own any kind of property. Butterworth will do good because of the higher property prices in Penang’s island and with the second link. The most important that will help Butterworth is the under sea tunnel for
it will bring Butterworth to a new high. Imagine people come and go from Butterworth to Penang or the other way around like nothing. More people will move to Butterworth and that is good for economy and good for property value in Butterworth.

@JJ

You are comparing butterworth to KL Sentral?? Hahahaha…….You might as well compare Komtar with Petronas Twin Tower!!! Hahahaha…….laugh until tummy ache again!!….:))

@John Doe

The future is always uncertain as life is never certain….:) But one thing is certain, the BIG TRUCKS in butterworth area, smelly, noisy and dusty…:) I’m not saying butterworth is a ghost town that no one dares to live in, but to put a bet on it being PRIME (that’s the thing that started the whole discussion), I think it’s a very long shot.

Trucks apart, check out one of the neighbourhood clinics after 10pm, you’d be shocked by the number of addicts living in that area (I will not elaborate what they buy from the clinic lah ok). They are from the nearby “indian village”…:)

If you want to talk about undersea tunnel (let’s assume it will go ahead first lah ok, otherwise no story liao), you’d be foolish to look at this project. I will not tell you exactly where to put your money if you’re betting on tunnel, but a person with an average intelligence can easily figure that out….:)

Friend, just look at the project description lah – “It is just next to the Econsave hypermarket”….ECONSAVE??!!…..that’s their best selling point???? ECONSAVE????…Hahahahaha…….Wake up and get real my friend……:)

this piece of harbor place development is a failure by PJD, PG sentral not coming up due to political issue, u want to wait for sea tunnel, ok u have to wait till 2025 (IF the tunnel really build)

There is still some units un-sold by PJD (Parkview, seaview, ocean view) but these projects had been OC for many years….. from there u should smell something vy wrong when there is still un-sold units by developer after many yrs….

Studio in this area?? come on….!! don’t put KL’s mindset in PG here…….This is Penang!!

Current PJD condo is overpriced and small studio unit not suitable for investment. They never learn from previous mistake. Unsold unit always present nowadays due to investor or greedy developer. Some investor dont know subsale has limited market in butterworth area, but room can be easily rent out but wont get possitive gain. Dont underestimate future project plan, look at batu kawan 2nd bridge, in planning stage, property price there already raised, when the bridge complete, and ikea coming in, property price tag become crazy. Dont wait until 2nd link, penang sentral project confirm d only start to look for property at this area, will make u drop jaw in future seeing the new record price tag. By the way batu kawan current project price tag is unrealistic, expecting middle income and high income people to live there? Dont know whats going wrong with investor mind.

@EK,

What are the new projects available in Batu Kawan right now?

watever…i got a unit that i afford with and like @EK said i can walk or ride bicycle to take ferry to penang jalan jalan cari makan!

Batu Kawan is basically developed by DNP Land. Yay, RM750k for semi D, and currently launched BM Mahkota services suites (wah, name so kampong) also RM3xxk and RM4xxk.

Can jam everyday no matter where you drive from which area of island or BM, and can shop Jusco everyday with highly congested traffic. So nice because can waste the petrol money a lot since Alma people are rich.

Yah coming also have Ikea, Turf club, stadium etc. Isn’t it nice can drive from Batu Kawan to island also via new bridge and jam at the Bayan Baru til the Georgetown if just happen you want to go to Gurney.

Oh also like PakHaiLang said, so many trucks drives in drives out also. Plsssss, as though there is no trucks on the island (Bayan Baru especially) or Alma or Bukit Minyak.

DNP Land???? Are u sure??? Or PDC???

Batu Kawan and Alma are 2 different area. How u link them in one story?

PakHaiLang :
@EK,

Im not very familiar with batu kawan. Refer to nearby bdr mutiara by tambun indah. DST price near 400k.

ah beng :

Agree. People buy for own stay wont too bother bad comment. Developer n investors are more likely to defence and attack others project.

@Chocolate

what do you expect from a person who thinks KL sentral is the same as butterworth bus station……:)

trust me PJD if they sell u this price so far they most expensive rm450/sft. they will give back to u double in future.

@ah beng

Hahahaha…..hard sell ah….so difficult to push this project meh? It’s ok lah, ban ban sell lor, no need to rush, PJD can tahan mah. Oh i see…if don’t push now, later even harder to sell when all those projects launched 2-3 years back starting to get OC and come into the market….:)

ah beng :

It may happen if the penang sentral and 2nd link go according to plan, the commercial lots down WS open some F&B like mcdonald, starbucks, carl’s jr.. And if the condo finishing & management is good. Need to pray for it

may i know still many available unit?good for investment?how much and got any promotion?

Oh Batu Kawan by PDC, yah sorry. Well, okay lah, each have their own preference. No need to fight like enemy. Just get what you think is good for you. Location, surrounding, facilities and amenities. Can always just go to Batu Kawan property website and tell them how cheap is that, : )

Happy home hunting, : )

Just passed PJD office and the project site. Saw project site and piling is in progress. Next phase of payment expected to be sometime end of April.

any 750sft buyer here?

ah beng :
any 750sft buyer here?

Im also 750 buyer. It is quite small for a family. Why?

how much now? 918sft

nothern :
how much now? 918sft

918 sft is 2 rooms and only comes with 1 car park. PJD is taking maximum profit from buyers, not a nice developer

yea….poor layout with high price 450/sft juz becoz of upcoming penang central and undersea tunnel. felt like its more like hotel suites than a residential.

@ah beng

Haha…forget about this lah. Might as well get a landed in Batu Kawan, the chances of getting Ikano/modern mall/Ikea/KDU/country club etc is significantly higher (in fact it’s already a certainty) compared to tunnel. And some more Penang Central for what? You want to live next to a big bus station is it? That’s what Penang Central is!!

You can almost go no wrong with Batu Kawan….:)

Type C 918 sqft, 2 rooms 2 bathrooms

RM430k to RM480k

Type D 1250 sqft, 3Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms

RM590k to RM639k

Type F penthouse 1,500 sqft 3 BedR n 3 BathR RM688k or RM716k

Relau Indah Condo

Well, I don’t know what island price you are talking about. Mostly well maintain condo on island is from RM650psf up. Summer Place (RM650psf), Bayswater (RM680psf). Even newly launched project you can see from the above.

Yah you can get some cheap “condo” with “cheap” price and “cheap” environment. I strongly recommend the Relau Indah like the link above or Pinang Court. Just don’t compare apple with orange. Don’t give wrong impression to people that a >12 units per floor with 2 lifts condo is comparable to 8 units per floor with 4 lifts services suites.

Please give some example what do you mean by “I buy Relau area new condo with similar size also same price nia….” I want to buy also, Please, any projects can recommend?

@ush-ush

@ah beng

Could you recommend some properties in island for me? I am a serious buyer. RM500k about 1,000sq ft. Well maintained condo, less than 5 year-old.
