Penang island will become a rich city in near 10 years. now for a private condo is price at rm600/sq (Minimum). With this indicator, average household income have to be at lease RM10k in order to sustain with these type of condo. Or else, force to move to mainland.
870k~890k per unit…all units sold out except 28-32 floors(left with little choice)
any units lower all sold out
any units higher than 32, not open for booking
disappointing!
@Nice Guy
A lot of ppl place the booking, but how many of them can get the loan? Just waiting for sa hort period you will find some unit available. This happens to many condos, during opening for booking, almost fully booked.
@Iambroke
Hopefully…just dont like to be in this situation(limited choice) & we are not paying cheap for it.
Seems like there are so many rich ppl on the road who can fork out 89k easily for downpayment..haha..
As you have said, poor ppl like us need to move out to mainland
@Nice Guy
Nowadays a lot of house buyers are joint name as the bank loan is hard to obtain. For many senior exec or managers in PG join names with their spouse still manage to buy those condo rm600/sqft. But for the younger generation will be hard for them.
Ya, It is sad paying these money for limited choice. Compare with other states, this money can buy a spacious Semi-D landed.
Actually, RM600psf for condos is not considered expensive on Penang island. But the location is lousy. It sits right next to gr@veyard. Bad view.
Good view or seaview will be Rm 1000 psf.
@clito
Clito must be from high income groups. Ya, we can said is not expensive if we are in high income group, but pretty sure is a suffer for those young graduates.
For prime location around Tanjong Tokong, private condos the price easily hits rm 900 to 1000/sq ft.
The 10K booking fee is not refundable if bank loan was not approved.
@clito
please check the pictures again, all units facing to straits quay. you wont see graveyard ok.
all the unit room and balcony was facing to strait quay and no graveyard view even its very close.
Is this project sitting next to a graveyard? Hmmm…although no graveyard view it does sound a bit eerie to be living next to a cemetery.
Hi all, where is the exact road access leading to the property? Is it the small road beside the Mount Erskine market?
@Gary
Hi Gary,
yes, tats the entrance. will be a new road break through the dead end.

18-19 Oct, this weekend developer office open to invite all customers to make booking.
So client can drop by anytime between 9am until 5pm.
Now heard about “Mont Residence “.
1226 sq ft at RM830K onwards is it worth to buy?
How about the available units above 32th floor ?
How much m/fees p/sq ft?
The Peak & Latitude’s view will be affected in future……
Mont Residence by VST now @RM695 p/sq ft. RM20 rise before launching.
1226 sq ft for 890K feel bid expensive . Is it wise to own one ?
Cause Citymall now @RM700 , Landmark RM1400, The Peak RM6++.
Help me to make decision .
@Citiman
In fact, i also into dilemma now, thinking to get Mont Residence but the price is too high for me, i went to view The Peak and felt that it is quite nice but again i heard it will be blocked by new project later, Citymall is too limited unit to choose and the price is also too high if compare with the first launch, whereas Landmark is kind of luxury for me (I mean the price).
Citiman, feel free to share any information with me because i am into the same situation with you.
Let’s Get Acquainted.
Hope to hear from you soon, thanks.
@Citiman
Hi Citiman, if you interested please contact me via whatsapp 010-2323208. I think I can share a better price to you. thanks

“BUYER”
No doubt at present the price is RM695.
But in future will go up to RM800.
No worry get one now or will regret if miss the boat.
I myself also took one around 890K.
My “AngKong” told me. “go go go dont wait”
The actual rm/ft is 750 as the actual size appears in SPA is 1187sqft only, not 1226sqft(was told by VST staff). Anyway, I believe the price still can increase more after few years.
To all the potential buyers
Yesterday i received project brochure from VST with warm greeting by Dato Yeah.
Bulldozer working hard to clear trees & earth work.
Signing of S&P getting nearer.
Hope project will build in time.
So dont miss the boat.
Hi Mimi/ all,
Doubt the view will be blocked as it is located on the hill right behind the market.
Both blocks facing Straits Quay (i.e. northeast)
Block B is near The Peak
Latitude is further away from Mont Residence as it is in front of The Peak
Right in front at lower level is Taman Evergreen apartment
Welcome to visit us at Wisma VST in this weekend 15,16 NOV and next weekend 22,23 NOV for more details about this project. thanks
Please contact 010-2323208 if you have any question. Thanks.
haha, wat a joke?
Truth is, a lot of you will be caught if you were to buy at current market prices. You are paying rm750psft for mount Erskine area, for that price per square feet you can get Brezza, fettes residences and better location properties. Just saying.
@lol
Do you know what is the reasonable price per sq ft for that area?
I checked on The Peak and the price is about RM600/sq ft but heard that upcoming new project will be blocking the view so i drop The Peak and waiting for new project.
At first i was thinking to get Mount Residence but the price is really too high for me and it is not that big size after all.
Do you have any recommendation as i am seriously looking for house for own stay now.
Thanks.
@Buyer
Must you stay in Tanjong Tokong? Or you have the flexibility to stay somewhere else? And if you must stay in Tanjung Tokong, can you please share your reason. Thanks.
@lol
Not a leased hold property or Mt. Erskine area. No Tg. Tokong area.
“loh”
I do not 100% agree with you.
For those who choose The Mont sure will have their own thoughts.
Fresh hilly cold air & greenery , Ocean View, far away from the main road.
Modern living styles & bla bla bla as shown in the sales brochure.
But if compare RM Sq/Ft to Brezza Or Fettes Residence price still moderate & affordable.
Think of appreciation : Local upgrading residence – Foreign tenant & M2Home investors
Limited units left.
Welcome to contact/text/whatsapp me your email add at 010-2323208 for more details in soft copy.

@Buyer
Hi buyer,
Glad that you asked. E&O is coming up with a new project called the tamarind executive suites just opposite telco tg tokong right next to jazz residence. Prime freehold land. Guess how much? Rm700psft. Size? 1050sft to 1300sft.
So for the same price you get a more reputable developer and a better location.
Comes with a 1 acre water park as well : )
No MM2H will stay at Mount Erskine area. Koreans maybe but certainly not the westerners. For the westerners it’s seri tanjung pinang, gurney drive, tg bungah and Batu ferringhi.
@Buyer
Actually not all units at The Peak will be blocked, you can choose block C(which is nearer to The Latitude). By looking at the satellite image above, both The Peak & Mont Residence form a “V” shape, just avoid buying inner units, you still can have good view.
That’s why Block B of Mont Residence is selling cheaper than Block A, same goes to The Peak, Block C corner units are the most expensive one.

Don’t waste your time. Wait for tamarind at seri tg pinang. Cheaper.
Tamarind rm700 psft. Freehold. Better location. By E and O. Opposite tesco. 1 acre water park.
Not to mention westerners won’t stay at mount Erskine. So you are looking at renting it to locals. Westerners usually rent at seri tg pinang, tg bungah, gurney drive, Batu ferringhi. At rm750 psft for Mont Residence it is actually very risky because you won’t get the rental yield nor the appreciation you are looking for. Honest review from me.
@Lol
You sure E&O is selling RM700psf with 1 acre waterpark? Those Quayside purchasers will start rioting at E&O sales gallery and burn it down!
Wah !!!!, are you saying those people living in T. Tokong especially Quayside
are gangsters ?
@fanny
I used to stay at Tanjong Tokong area and already fell in love with it, so if i have budget then Tanjong Tokong will be my first priority place to stay.
The property price is increasing too fast these few years, some flippers already millionaire i believe but look at the people who really want to own a home to stay, they are still searching and searching.
Luckily the price is slow down now but is already on the high side.
@sokohaw
Thanks for the information.
What is the price for The Peak at Block C which is not going to be blocked by any upcoming project?
What floor?
What Size?
Is The Peak a good condo to stay?
Hope everyone can share in here.
Thanks in advance.
@Lousy
It depends which part of T.Tkong. The estates (Hong Seng estate & Pepper estate) which is on the MtErskine side are infested with gangsters. The new T.Tkong (after Jalan T.Tkong towards the seaside) is the new T.Tkong which is infested with rich people. As and when needed, the rich can hire the gangsters from Pepper estate to burn down E&O sales gallery. No problemo!
@Lol
Where did you get the info that Tamarind starts at RM700 psf? I called E&O but they said they have no info yet. Hmmm
Of course I am sure. Quayside water park is 4.5 acres. Tamarind only 1 acre. Just wait for the E and O project. Avoid the Peak. Very bad maintenance and the pool is always filled with algae. A lot of defects. I have visited that place.
So if you buy Mont residence for rm900k now. The peak’s rental is rm1500-1800. So Mont residence can fetch rm2000-2500 per month. That’s quite pathetic.
If you buy tamarind by E and O at rm700k you can easily rent it out for rm2500 to rm3000. Wouldn’t that make more investment sense? You get a better deal and location as well.
@Buyer
OK. But what are the things in T.Tkong that made you fall in love with it?
I also don’t believe that Tamarind will be sold at RM700psf, last week end they were at Gurney Plaza and opened for registration only. No info so far on the price.
(If this is true, I believe all nice units will be sapu by E&O staffs before launching………)
Anyway, no actual price will be revealed until launching, bro!
@Buyer
As what I know, the Peak block C(high floor) price range ~RM650k to 680k for 1000sqf, ~RM700k to 750k for 1100sqf(corner unit), depends on floor & reno. New condo with such price tag in Tg Tokong, I think it’s still ok to buy for own stay.
You may encounter few problem
1. The entrance is pass through the wet market, terrible jam in morning esp weekend.
2. New to telco tower, i think will be less than 100 m at the right corner
3. Will facing the grave yard and The Peak residence (probably)
4. Currently The Peak Residence not easy to rent out the room (as what i known)
this my 2 cents of thought…..
I am current stay at The Peak residence, the building also block my view and will be same to the building.
@loke
Thanks for sharing.
Eventhough there are so many adverse remark but i wonder why the developer still selling at such high price and i went to the office and see most of the unit already sold.
I really don’t understand where are those rich people came from?
May i know the good point on this project?
Deed inside kampung area and there is no good point.
@Buyer
What you saw at the office (the stickers) are half speculators (sold to relatives and associates at near cost price) and half fake sales. So that when “water fish” walks into the sales office, they would think “Eventhough there are so many adverse remark but i wonder why the developer still selling at such high price and i went to the office and see most of the unit already sold.”. That’s how you suck and suckers!….Hahaha.
@Buyer
Hi bro. Its common developer tactics to “project good sales” in order to craete a situation of scarcity. Its as simple as placing a sticker next to the unit number on the chart where nobody will know the truth behind those stickers other than the developer themselves.
“Buyer”
The reason for the condo nearly sold out are:-
1) Penang got this kind of potential buyers with strong $$$ background.
2) Invest in luxury condo is the best to fight $$ $depreciation.
3) Lookback to your Peak Residence 3 years ago, lucrative appreciation you already earned.
4) In Penang no matter where you buy infront or the back of graveyard also no “RUGI” lah!!
Aiyo, this morning I read TheStar newspaper about the luxury affordable condos that E&O and Ideal will build at T.Tkng seaside area. They say RM450psf only. Cheaper price and better location compared to this. I will wait for that lah.
I just read as well that GDV RM4.7 billion of affordable projects are going to be launched frm 2015 around the island ranging from 350k onwards.
Affordable housing are only for those that meet the requirements. So many of us who already own houses cannot buy anymore. Anyway if you read properly, they say e&o tamarind will be competitively priced. They did not say how much psf. I doubt it will be 450psf. If yes, people will buy in bulk for this area.
@sokohaw
How about view for The Latitude?
Where got affordable condo in Penang ? Range from RM450 psf.
I already wait from young to old till my neck going long.
Do you think developers R so kind to build these on the “Golden Penang Island” ?
If you are age 20 years plus, its no harm for you to wait.
Chinese favorite song ” E Chang You See E Chang Moung”
Thanks everyone for the replied.
Heard from a friend that there are 3 new project in Tg Pinang somewhere near TESCO:
1) The Tamarind (E&O) – 650psf, 1046 size selling from 677k to million
2) I-Santorini (Ideal)
3) Boon Siew New Project
4) Few developers join hand to build new project
Seem like that area going to be very very congested, most of the project is high density.
Anyone has any idea?
@Buyer
When the density is high with well educated and affluent people by the sea, you call that “lau juak”–> vibrant.
When the density is high with low level people and “tong tong chiang” everyday, you call that “chap” –> slum.
Hi Buyer,
(1) E&O – about 1000 units.
(2) ideal project – also about 1000 units, half of it will be affordable house project.
(3) BoonSiew – this will be Tanjung Bungah, plan has been submitted, about 1000 units as well. 53 floors.
(4) This should be City Of Dream project.
@rocker
Congrats! Your explanation is simple to understand but yet straight to the point!
@ST Khor
Thanks. I only take espresso, plain straight simple caffeine.
Heard that Tesco having roadshow about this project. Feel free can drop by.
E & O, Ideal Proz, Boon Siew R not my cup of tea.
“Towes in the cloud “
Heard this project is not selling well, is it because of its location being next to the cemetary or the price too high for that location? I’m looking for a decent condo for ownstay around that area and am considering this or The Peak, Latitude is too expensive for me. So i’m hoping to hear some non-bias and neutral comments for local people. Is it a good time to buy now or should i wait? Thanks
The price for “The Peak” is around RM600psf or lower, thus it’s reasonable to get one for own stay. Furthermore, there is a sky garden which’s really awesome. However, I m not agent nor buyer of “The Peak”.
@Petit4
I also same like you, looking for house in Tg Tokong area, had been waiting and searching and also regretting a lot…
Regretting for not buying when The Peak and The Latitude soft launch, i still remember when i were there in Ivory office last few years, The Peak only RM270k and when Latitude first launched, it was only RM570k, all of these still echo in my mind and i don’t know how to tell you how regretted i am….
One thing bad about all these project is the location near cemetery and recently there are surau built near by and everyday the sembayang will irritated you.. and on top of that, Ivory’s project still need a lot of improvement on quality and layout…
Mont residence is one of my desire condo but after looking at the price, i know i have to drop it because i cannot afford it….
I have so much to share and talk about the property in Penang, please feel me to drop me an email or call me so that we can talk more..
Thanks.
@Jack
All projects are not selling well !!!! Banks loans also very strict in approving.
David & Jack.
Since this two months the fall of oil prices nearly kill my confidence.
I think now is not the right time to invest so costly condo.
I dont know when the bad time will come.
Now i am in the Wait & See situation.
No more joke & fund.
Waiting for the shinning day.
How about The Latitude?
My friend told me Latitude is cheaper and better than with this project. Is it true? Any advise please? Thank you.
@Frank
Hi Frank,
What i know about Latitude compare with Mont Residence is:
Bigger size (1500 or 1600 sq ft)
Low Density (5 units per floor)
Seaview (Nearer to sea if compare with Mont Residence)
The subsale now is about 1.2 million (double up the price when it was first launched which is 570k)
I heard that VST is more prestigious compare with Ivory and i heard a lot of bad comments about Ivory but so far i have not seen any project from VST so i cannot tell much until Mont Residence is completed.
In term of price, Month Residence is about 900k with 1226 sq ft and Latitude is 1.2 million with 1500 sq ft and it is subsale…
Depend on your budget and also the developer that you think is OK.
@Buyer
The Latitude came with 3 units per floor as I knew.
The sub-sales of The Latitude 1500ft should be around 1 mil as posted at Mudah.com
Please check it out!
Thank Buyer & Wow for your weightage input.
Cheers!
I went to the market this morning. Saw the signboard of VST. But why got a big signboard saying “projek sederhana”?
They change plan to affordable housing?
Must think twice with VST project, I bought a VST landed property with poor quality
and serious crack until today still haven’t solve my problem even I had make complaint
few times. Not only my house got problem but every house facing the same problem. Think
twice guy…
Thanks for advise.
Go check out E&O Tamarind project guys. Way more worth it than this.
Read from “Kwong Haw Poh”
Real estate Landcity Mr Tan said market now is saturated & hard to get bank loan.
Unless of low financing buyer not affected.
Also pointed out response of new launching projects :-
“Little cat 2 or 3 only”
Was at E&O showroom yesterday and had a look at their tamarind project. Selling for 660psf before 13% rebates . In my view a much more viable option than this . The accesse to MOnt residence is a small road behind mount erskine market where you have to make a loop round the narrow market road to exit. Possibility of congestion is high. E&O straits quay is so much more a better location. The tamarind units also come furnished with timber flooring , compete with aircond ducting, air conds, full kitchen cabinet as per their show room and completely furnished bathroom. I understand Mont residence units come empty
Tamarind certainly a better buy than this project. Those that bought this will have a hard time competing with Tamarind in the future. Location wise, price wise, and quality wise.
Totally agree
The location is much much more better than mount residences
Remember the condo appreciate is because of location and developer but not others
The tamarind the two criteria
Unfortunately I am not able to get one due to overwhelming response
Need to go q up when block b launch
Hope the price not increase too much
@Ben
I agree with all of you. Tamarind certainly has a better location than this. If you were to compare location, price, quality, branding, facilities and package,the Tamarind wins hands down. Besides, STP is a master plan township, there will be STP2 , so guaranteed growth. Tamarind also walking distance to tesco and I heard the land between tesco and quayside might be an international school there.
Yea I heard Tamarind comes with 2.2 acres water park. Similar to Quayside. The developer is quite smart. Good location, very competitive pricing, sem-furnished package with timber floorings similar to the ones from Andaman condo, air cons, toilet all done up with sanitary, kitchen with island as well! Free SPA and legal fees.
I bet the rest of the developers must be scratching their heads on how to beat this Tamarind. Deal of the year confirmed by E&O.
I know of a few friends that bought for own stay and they are very excited about it. I have to wait for block B for the Tamarind.
I was very close to getting Mont Residence but wary about VST lack of experience in condos. Luckily I managed to get a unit at Tamarind and am so very glad.
We having property showcase for this property at Gurney Plaza, feel free to dropby. Thanks
@CKT
I agree with you bro. I find Tamarind a better buy. I heard mont residence actual size is 1000sft but the developer try to sell it as 1226sft. I guess the extra 200sft or so is sold as an accessory parcel. Guys if you are looking for quality, reputable developer, competitive pricing and a good location. Look no further and buy Tamarind by E and O. Forget about Mont Residence. I am sharing my personal experience. Now it is the buyers market. Don’t let developers take you on a ride.
@Wayne
There’s only 470+ units, how come still haven’t sold out yet? It’s already more than half a year since launching to public you know. If you’re talking about “internal” launching, that’s almost 1 year already!
If Tamarind investment for self stay is ok.
But for renting i feel is Susah sikit.
Condos are oversupply everywhere .
Its time to stop “Goreng”.
Hope dont burn your fingers.
@C Pek Kau Lat
Ya agree. Now Condos are oversupply, but if u r tenant will choose Tamarind area first (walking distance to tesco & strats Quay) or Mont Erskine area. If Tamarind area susah for renting, Mont Erskine area sure lagi susah to find tenant
Buying new condos just to rent out ? Must be the most stupid person around.
@Sad Man
@Raja Uda
Ya,we r stupid person. So we buy property to rent out for doing investment. Let say a few year ago buy The peak @300k installment @1.5K, rent out 1.5k to cover installment. This year sold the peak 600K and earn 300k. If today buy tamarind as 750K actually U just use 450K to own tamarind. This game only stupid person can play
@Hehe
Real investor will know when to invest and not proclaim what he did
was right. Only beginners will try to justify the wrong they did.
You guys are debating amateur stuff. At present moment Tamarind wins mont residence and the peak. Period. Why? Simple. Location, pricing, quality, package.
All you people are very smart in property investment.
I think this is the right choice to follow the team to invest in Tamarind.
Hope to join & see you soon.
From sweet Potato.
Tamarind is certainly the better option between the 2 be it for homestay or investment. The quality of E&O homes are well known whereas we cannot say the same for VST. Location wise no need to say lah. SQ is still the premier address compared to Mount Erskine. It is the address that carries the value.
I heard tamarind is commercial title. Any1 can confirm this? and 1k plus units…
@MiddleMan
Yup Tamarind is under commercial title and comprising 1100 units . 550 units per block. Despite that its selling like hot cakesssssssssssssssssss
Any more units left for this project? Hows it selling? and whats the price per sf now?
queensbay road show. 800 psft
Wah lau eh…queensbay road show 800 psf? Then definitely dont go for this project . Look for Tamarind the launch for the next block. Much better deal la.
I received call from developer OHM that their new project of 40 stories condo will be launch infront of MONT RESIDENCES and THE PEAK RESIDENCES. Will this block all the view ?
This project certainly not worth buying. I heard it is not selling well as well.
Many people asked for a refund of this project to buy the Tamarind
Confirm bad sales and not worth buying. That’s why the marketing on this website now….
worth invest in this project for future ,sure the price will be increase by the time this project complete.
TQ,
VAsu
Confirm you say worth invest lar. You are Vasu from pen properties marketing for VST hahaha. Sales are very bad.
Last few months ago, 675 PSF, now 800 PSF, keep increasing if the sales sucks why would the company increase the price PSF? lol
Bro, a lot of projects also increase price for example arte S but in the end also bout the price down again when they fail to sell. Only newbie will fall for their marketing strategy. 800 psft for that area, anyone will ask you to go buy the tamarind at seri tg pinang. For same price why buy mount Erskine.
If sales so good why must let other agency to sell. If sale so good why must advertise numerous times, if sales so good don’t need to hard sell.
the sales chart is another sales gimmick. Obviously they have to project a high success rate otherwise who would want to buy. correct? im sure all seasoned investors know this trick like the back of their hand. IF its true they have achieved 90% why need to go to KL and overseas? And please, at 1000 psf, i would buy E&O anytime. And the rolls royce, why would i want to pay rental to share the rolls royce with so many others? People have their own cars la. why wanna spend extra to rent a rolls royce for something we do not own? just doesnt make sense to buy the project because of the rolls royce , yachts and stuff.
OOps wrong page
Guys, i would like to ask, Which is a better buy, Mont residence or Skyridge Garden?
I heard Skyridge Garden by OHM located near the Peak is very competitive.Price is reasonable for around 500.00 psf for l450 sq ft.I’m looking to buy a unit and can anyone share here hows their quality workmanship in construction.Thanks
For my group of friends commented that OHM workmanship is very bad. They come from a low cost contractor cum developer. Just beware that cheap price doesn’t provide good quality; What you pay is what you get.
my groups of friend has been following them since their project from Batu Uban Residence since 2009 until today and still following.
main thing is the price is competitive as they are local developer, so far the workmanship is at average level according to my experience
Sky Ridge a “Luxury” condominium now is beside Mont Residens and is blocking its view and is selling cheaper.
“PG Investor”
Yes what you said is absolute correct.
The workmanship & the selection of the common area tiling are very very poor.
People like me have bought from this group will never come back again.
What they advertise are difference from the sales.
Hey whats the status of this project?
This forum is not active since Dec 2015! What is the latest going on? Is this project fully sold? Is it only 20% sold? What was the launch price and what is the current selling price. How come no comments on this forum for so many months now? Anyone know what’s happening?

This project is condemned. Only bodoh peolple go and pay RM800psf for this. RM500psf can buy resale Latitude already, same lousy location.
I’m buyer for Mont Residence, like to hear more comment on this project. When to job site few day ago, Tower 1 completed at Lv32. I don’t know if the location at Mt Erskine so terrible as described by many comments above? Nowadays please be graceful if u can own a property in Penang Island. If u feel like going for Tamarind then is your choice..life just full of choice..
If there is any buyer of Mont Residence please step out and share your point of view here.
I think location not really as bad as people describe here. There are a wet market in front of the entrance, so what? I think will be heavy traffic in the morning, but not whole day will be as it is..when to the location at afternoon everything seem slow down. The entrance road are only for Mont Residence tenant only, not same like The peak and latitude use the only road from traffic light junction..please remember that Tri Pinacle are also located at the same location..there will be more congested when all units fully occupy.
Low density only 473 units for 2 tower..other project come with 1000+ units..low density is the main reason I choose Mont Residence over Tamarind..
I don’t know the craftmenship of VST..if there is someone have any good point please share it here.
@Slow navi
I need to support your opinion here! My parents bought one unit too, what you said is correct, we got our own entrance and exist, dislike The peak and Latitude, Tri Pinacle, 4 projects there, and yet they need to share one road, LOL!
And Mont Residence is very near to the wet market, all those Tamarind salesmen please go promote some where else
@weising
May i know WHERE you got the information that this project is condemned??? Eh, please come to the wet market and have a look, open your eyes big big, Tower A is almost completed.
BTW although Mont Residence and Latitude are in same location, but using different entry
In the future the roads will be connected one whole circle. There is an empty piece of land behind mont residence.
thsi project is not condemned lah just probably not selling that well. Pricing way too high for that area and a lousy frontage. I wouldnt pay 1million to live next to a wet market. by the way purchasers of tamarind are not better off either especially block B with a huge ass substation next to it
Can someone tell me the Pros and Cons of “Mont Residence” VS “Skyridge Garden”? Which one is better and why?
@RayRay
definitely sky ridge cos i dont want the frontage of my abode to be a wet market
@Robin Hood
Thanks Robin. I agreed with you on this one. Any other points which you can share with me?
Well frankly I wouldnt buy either project cos for a close to million dollar home, I wouldnt want to wake up every morning next to cemeteries
Seriously Robin Hood? Have you been to the wet market before, or simply wanna tembak here??? lol!! there is a route, kinda long route from wet market to Mont Residence
@RayRay
Based on the walking distance to wet market, SKyridge is so much nearer than Mont Residence, the biggest Advantage of Skyridge is that the size of the house, Skyridge is bigger
@ck Lee
Thanks CK Lee for getting back to me, Yes, Skyridge is bigger.
Since I don’t know that area….is there a trail or road which people can walk from the wet market to Skyridge Garden? please let me know how long does it take?
The main reason I ask is because I like to buy flash food from the market but same as Robin….”don’t want the frontage of my abode to be a wet market”
Yes, there is a small route from Skyridge to wet market, even if you walk slow, it should take only 10 mins
@Lol
Hi Lol,
“In the future the roads will be connected one whole circle…” Is it the private road form wet market to Mont Residence? could you please elaborate what do you mean by “…one whole circle…”?
Mont Residence now offers 872, 972, 1,072 sq.ft. in addition to 1,226 sq.ft. Anyone know where are they(872, 972, 1,072 sq.ft.) located? lower or upper floor?
Lower floor
What a surprise that VST offers these small size units at Mont Residence!
Have you guys received any news about the completion date of Mont Residence? I heard it’s going to be Dec 2017?
Just visited the show unit of Skyridge Garden. Surprisingly this project could provide something similar to BSG. Well, normally a bare unit you don’t see much things to compare except the size of the unit. What I like to observe is the tiles, lockset, bathroom’s sanitary wares & fittings and switches. Skyridge Garden definitely worth for the value with the size and quality products it uses.
Quite disappointed that VST does not provide what is printed in advertisement & brochure. The quality & taste is not at par with IJM, E & O , Ideal or even Masmeyer.
@Mont residence buyer
Hi bro, you been to the site already? I haven’t, can you further elaborate what is not provided as per the advertisement?
I just passed by the peak and I saw a building looks like low-cost next to Mont … It is possible the entrance of the low-cost is shared with Mont?
@Akira
Both will be using same main route but it’s only until Mont’s security house, too bad, i can’t share photos here
@Mont residence buyer
Please elaborate what is not provided as per the advertisement & brochure?
@Mont residence buyer
Agree with you, I think for the high price we pay for this, we are not getting what we deserve. This project is grossly overpriced, for which rental rates will be very low going by the rentals of neighbouring completed projects due to the bad location. Plus, it’s built on a hill slope. This is my worst investment ever.
Seems like the developer is cutting a lot of cost. i was at the site and so far the greenery landscaping concept is not up to par as what marketed through their brochure example the vines landscaping concept for the entrance and carpark floors. instead it is replaced by green turf which i don’t think will be weather proof, can see it falling apart already. even the guard house is a different design, not as advertised. building suppose to be white, 2 tone with gray but now changed to 1 tone light gray. roof also different and water tanks not concealed. looks like a lot of corners had been cut.
hope the lobby interior, facilities floor and units will be 5-star like how it’s marketed.
@MR_owner
Wow thats terrible.
I’ve setup a FB page exclusively for Mont Residence owners and future residents which I posted images I took during my site visit Oct 31, 2017. Search ‘Mont Residence Penang – Residents’.
@MR_owner
Thanks for sharing the FB pages, please keep it up.
BTW, did the recent heavy rain & flood affect MR? Please take same pictures and videos on FB. Thx
Anyone know when the roads will be open for public?
@RayRayHK
FB Page updated with show unit images. So far the developer & Urban Landscape S/B supposedly the company in-charge of landscaping is doing quite a poor job. I do not know how the developer is going to address the 360 change in interior & exterior designs, landscaping, exterior greenery concepts to owners upon delivery. Many people are not going to be happy about this.
@MR_owner
50% of this project was initially reserved by developer itself + cronies. Their original plan was to slowly release more units at a higher price into the market as construction goes on. But judging by the super slow market, especially for a project located at such an “off” location, plus its sitting on a hillslope, the developer is already prepared for the worst. He will need to sapu all the cash first to save himself and keep his luxury cars, just forget about fancy lanscape for buyers.
And by the way, the land that this project is sitting on, was actually a piece of hill slope worthless land that is not suppose to have anything on it except trees. But many thanks to rocketman, it was converted to development land for condos. I shall not say more.
@kay
yup screw the buyers upside down . Nothing buyers can do anymore lo except complain on Property Talk while the developer laughs all the way to the bank
@MR_owner
developer will buat bodoh during delivery and the sales staff will be taking the heat
@MR_owner
Hi bro, i have visited the site recently, all of the facilities are pretty standard (70%-80%) against the brochure, other than the exterior greenery concepts. Have you visited the rooftop? It is almost done already. Heard that owners will be getting keys in late Dec or early Jan next year.
@RayRayHK
Mont R is not affected by the heavy rain last few days ago. Guess you are a buyer at Skyridge?
There will be a route at the hillside there, from what i heard it’s currently under dev by gov, but it’s for Aspen owners only (it’s behind the Aspen project) .
Tmn Ekr, The Peak, Latitude and Skyridge etc will be sharing only one main exit
yup i have a unit there and my cousin has got one mont residence. so its like we are monitoring both project at the same time as well. being the main reason i buy skyrige its because i need bigger space and he doesn’t. according to gov plan the road is linked and will be opened
@ck Lee
Not affected by the heavy rain last few days does not mean it will never have problem. I think Penang people have already lost confidence with MBPP, approving all these hill slope projects. You will never know how heavy the rain will be one day, and these hill slopes are high risk areas.
@TheRock
Agreed with TheRock !
@RayRayHK
Brother, we are using the same nick name here…Thanks for the info about the linked road…&.congrats you got a unit at SG!
@ck Lee
Hi ck Lee, unlike the brother with the same nick name with me, I have not committed to purchase SG or Mont R. But I like to stay at Tanjung Tokong.
Lol, Aspen would be even worse then, because the building itself is actually being built on the hill slopes, Regarding the new route, i am worried too, but i guess the authority would be extra careful now while dealing with dev on hill slopes. Hope enough measurements would be taken.
However, the i was told that the upcoming hill route is for Aspen owners only, because the route is built behind the project, the entrance to the upcoming new hill route is blocked by the gate entrance of Aspen project?? (but i’m not 100% sure about this, simply sharing from whati have heard)
Yes, I’ve visited the show unit recently, also the rooftop, 7th floor facilities. Yes, I agree on the facility floor. It looks great with a big gym, different types of pools for all ages, big conference rooms, misc. rooms, play area for kids, half court basketball, large common areas but I still dont see the putting area for golf as advertised.
The exterior, facade of building, facade of carpark floors greenery concept as advertised is so far not fulfilled. I am not too sure whether is in plan or the developer totally scrap the idea? Cost cut? The initial marketing/sales of the developement was based on this concept. And now what we have is a big green artificial turf like board aka a giant snooker table. And the landscaping for the water feature is amateurly constructed which raised doubts that a professional landscape company was actually involved in the construction. The building is a monotoned gray, please have some design sense to actually use black/white/black pebble stones for the water feature instead of beige.
The rooftop looks good, except for the artificial grass and the bare naked water tanks. Why create a rooftop exerience with a big open eye sore there (2 huge naked water tanks each tower)?
Delivery December 2017, I don’t think so. There’s still lots to do and December is a holiday month, most people will be outstation. I will be guessing before CNY2018.
Updated FB (Mont Residence Penang – Residents) with pictures of the new road construction.
@MR_owner
Yea thanks bro! I have been following your updates since you started
@MR_owner
Hi bro, last time when i visited the site, the personnel told me that there will be a small golf area, i suppose they will build it after the half basketball court?
Yup, the rooftop is just nice, but the two water tanks should be covered, it makes the whole rooftop looks not so classy already.
BTW, i heard that the next or final payment should due around mid or end of Dec
Went to have a look. Not bad. We should have a whatsapp group upon oc.
