The other party too many bins to cover. All the best
Tamarind – Gold Medal
Queens R – No medal. Missed the final round cut.
Tamarind – Win
Queens R – Lost
How can they (Queens Waterfront) allowed to build 30 storeys high building under the aircraft flight path ? Omg!
Pwc, gold coast, summerton all those condo allowed to build 20 storeys only!
All infos for The Margarine are misleading. Why , if The Margarine sales is that good ? The sales is very , very bad.
Tamarind = Win
Queens R = Lose
The Margarine = No Sales = Total Lost
Hi,
Can Singaporean buy ?
If not what kind of property can we purchase?
Thanks
@Lim
You can consult @Player.
Now is time to keep CASH, only fool will talk about property now. Get ready for crash landing. Hahahhaa
yes singaporean can buy, but the price must over 1mil, is ok I sell to u 1 mil, undertable pay back u 100k, interested?
Obviously Tamarind is the winner. E&O branding plus location. Expats area.
i have semi D willing to sell with cheap price due to need cash urgently. interested ?
contact me goodhouse188@yahoo.com
@ Ray
No sales is a winner ? Branding E&O = Errors & Omissions. Mixed blended ” rojak ” area.
Good try, Admin. Intel is just across the road from QBM. How you come out with 12km?
@Xiao
Good catch, probably admin is comparing the furthest end of FTZ near Batu Maung, still the traveling time should be at least half that of Tamarind
@Player
The last I visit their show room only 5% left for both blocks. Did you visit their sales gallery or just simply shoot?
Lan chiou… Why never show commercial title VS residential title? Scare ppl know or trying misleading buyer?
This admin doesn’t know anything about travelling time, from Tamarind to airport only 30min?(maybe after midnight?)
Another big mistake is Pg bridge is further away from QR, but it only takes 10min to reach airport(Tamarind to pg bridge 20min, Tamarind to airport 30min, meaning pg bridge to airport only 10min) whereas from QR to airport he said 15min is required……sigh……very misleading
Tamarind to FTZ 19km ; QR to FTZ 12km, meaning the distance between Tamarind & QR = 7km? What a joke!
Tamarind to FTZ 19km? Draw one straight line maybe. Joker.
Haha…finally admin change the distance from QR to FTZ to 8km, at least this admin is responsive, let’s forgive him, most likely a genuine mistake
@Macha
Sorry *5km
@ Ray
Yes, only 5% left due to “IMAGINARY” sales to mislead the public. ONE of them is you.
Good job for E&O on sticker game. Two months ago said sold out, now 5% left??
@Player
Lol only IDEAL would play sticker games. Sell Low floors and lock high floors and release later. I experienced it with I Santorini and eventually I bought high floor, must give some coffee money.
QR to the two big ones Intel and Keysight is within walking distance la admin. At most 2km.
Thought price for Tower B will at least 100k more, end up cheaper than Tower A. Don’t know what E&O brand carries nowadays.
@Player
Please check your facts before you tembak. Always give wrong info.
@ Png
My facts are genuine.
@Tower A Buyer
E&O = Errors & Omissions. They are new in building construction.
@Player
They are old. Very old, ego and stubborn.
@Player
Please don’t get wrong info again.
@ Tower A Buyer
Very naive about E&O. E & O only got involved in the building industry in the nineties. Yes, it’s very stubborn to play the stickers game to mislead.
@Player
That’s bad. I thought E&O has long history in building industry.
@Player
Why i never see before the sticker game that you mention?
I was there at the sales gallery with my friend last 2 weeks.
They were transparent also open up all the available units for my friend to choose and eventually manage to select the unit that he wanted to buy.
Player you are having multiple identity disorder again. Daddy have to spank you soon.
@Player
It is not good for your health by sharing false info.
Those who know
Insists on E&O
@James
Those who “think” they know insist on E&O. Those who “really” know will not.
Wonder why is Queens comparing to the Tamarind and not Quayside. Queens are waterfront developments while The Tamarind is not even near water.
@ Felix
They are trying to promote The Margarine near to “muddy” coastal areas.
good laugh reading the comments on this lovely Friday~!
As for today the sales of Tamarind has reached 91%
Player, information is KPKT and Penang State Housing, so please do not spread false information.
Today, hows the comparison?
@So…
As of today now, Tamarind already turned into a sour grape & surroounded by many LMC houses with fully congested area. Hopefully reclaimed island can bring out some value in this area again.
Currently Queens residence doing very much better as no LMC in between & less development in future. Q3 will be final phase. Looking forward for new commercial shoplot opening soon.
Haha, really entertaining reading back all the comments as far back as 2016.
Who’s winner, who’s loser, Who has a medal, who has not, who is nearer to Intel, to airport etc.
But the most compelling comment of all was by *bloody greed* back in 2016 which says :-
“Now is time to keep CASH, only fool will talk about property now. Get ready for crash landing. Hahahhaa”
Anyone who conserved their cash then, would have set themselves up for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of betting big on equities when the pandemic hits, and reaping the rewards when central banks all over the world started to pour money into the market, and a multiplication of their investment by 5 to 10 fold was really as easy as “walking to Intel across the road”. 😉
Tamarind = Sour Grapes
Queens Residence = Sweet Strawberries
@JJ POP
Tamarind in deep trouble now. Even buyer also selling at 700k+ but low demand as surrounded by so many condo.
Queens residence still a white mice.
Talking about price, now got Tamarind units selling for RM600K+ lower floor facing the apartment/TESCO side. RM700K+ is considered expensive
One “datuk” has been arrested by MACC and charged in court for corruption related to receiving millions as bribe from a deveoper “tan sri” in PG. When the asset of the tan sri is frozen, I really don’t know whether you can even get your keys to Queens.
@Lollipop
Huhu.. Maybe get more
Q1 should be VP by next month. Not sure actual scenario.
Well arrested. Good job.
We will see Q1 subsale/rental performance by this year……whether it is boom or bust…..but for own stay the location is nice though….esp. facing sea view.
sure bust laaaa now covid time aiyo…. no need see already predicted
@JJ POP
Haha. For sure bust!! But if for own stay, this is a good project if compare to PWC bay residences with higher density & 1carpark.
Seaview or not won’t be a problem.
Location already superb.
If you got a seaview unit that’s even better.
I was wondering if subsale can do well since majority units within 1 million & above. Should be tough in subsale.
Those below 1 mil units are mostly west facing, good luck battling the heat.
Maybe got HK or China ppl throw stock, prepare to pick dead cats…
@Andy
Maybe. Omg. A very childish comment here. Maybe..
Most of place are heat battling. Don’t forget another land in front which belong to Ivory.
Thanks for reminder. Let’s wait to pick dead cats/dogs later if happenning. Good chance to pick in cheaper price or below market price..
Got HK & China buyer?
Yes Queens Water Front better in point of locations
Tamarind also got HK and China people buy either 1st hand from developer, or in secondary market. But still, the price is still like shit. Don’t get distracted by the talk of foreigners buying and all that crap, the reality is, there is a lot of property supply, and there can be MORE supply coming as and when needed, given the super high development plot ratio being used by rocket gov since they took over.
@Vooi
Actually Tamarine loacated in a great location but surrounded by LMC/affordable house specially I santorini. Oversupply in that area already. QR no more development at surrounding & no new affordable house. Except a piece of vacant carpark land which developer bought from RM670/sqf.
Own stay – QR
Investment – Tamarind
@Andy
QR seen more expensive than Tamarind if calculate by RM/sqf.
Advantage for QR is near by QB & no LMC next nearby.
Tamarind has too many condo option to compete at surrounding.
Currently Tamarind already converted into residential title?
And that’s one tower which come with only 1 carpark.
This is actually quite funny, how do you decide Tamarind for invest? when there is no job opportunity around? but many houses
U have to see the location demographic, who willing to rent and pay more than 2k for a unit like these.
We all know what kind of job wages available in FTZ, and what type of ppl normally staying in tg tokong… international school, thats my clue to you, now go do ur homework…
U definitely need to do more homework than me, the demographic are changing and even tamarind rental are reduce and no more expatriates. do you think rich people who stay tanjung bungah now still buying houses? they are retiring and now their children working at south area.
example:
Ppl pay more than 2k, remember only got 10 ppl over 100 ppl
ppl pay more than 1k, got 90 people over 100 ppl
now FMCO no more international client, so who rent? u rent? or your homework tell u later.
rich ppl have own bungalow not condo no reason for them to stay condo.
If u saying FTZ people aren’t as rich, then wait slow slow now engineer have company shares n etc they could buy your bungalow and earn 5 digit minimum even 6 digits monthly but they are smarter in calculations. ok?
Tanjung Tokong & Tanjung Bungah market limited now almost dying. could u justify is it good to invest non cash return area could be better than a low return area?
@JJ POP
You have your point. But it depends. Rich people own banglo but same time own condo as holiday home.
Most of people prefer seaside condo/direct seaview specially like Quayside. That’s better candidates.
Queens residence is a new seafront project in a new development area & no LMC surrounding yet. Let see how it grows later.
That’s correct also don’t underestimate FTZ people.
5 digit is a normal figure for well experience who worked in sector.
Tanjung Tokong/Bunga already a mature residence area. Interesting to see what’s going to be outcome on Queensbay area once all done developed. Perhaps a new million row in this area too.
It’s fun watching all these petty arguments. My take is, both won’t be doing well, and for that matter, the whole PG won’t be doing well either, in terms of properties. It’s not about who’s rich and who’s poor, it’s more about our state policy, which enables a very large volume of real estates to be created and built anytime, anywhere, and by just anyone (money launderers included).
Rentals will remain pathetically low for the many years to come, therefore making more sense to rent than to buy. The market has been flooded with so much real estate in the last 10 years, that not only developers have problem clearing their inventory in the primary market, speculators too are waiting to clear their inventories in the secondary market. :))))
It is even more fun watching Olympics now TQ
@ddragon
No worries. Just buy & keep for own stay. Most of economic & population occupied at Southeast district of Penang.
Good location. No harm. Depend on individual preference.
@John
I agree with you, for “own stay”, definitely it depends on preference in terms of location. But my suggestion is, with rental so bloody low, it will actually make more sense to rent than to own.
Unlike 20 years ago, when you actually did not have much choice when it comes to renting as there were not that many “surplus” properties lying around everywhere waiting eagerly for tenants, and most rental properties were old. Also, rents were relatively high when compared against purchase price and not to mention interest rates were relatively high too, giving property prices an upside advantage when interest rates start to trend down.
Today, things are totally the opposite. Interest rates are already at historical low, dirt cheap rents and no more capital upside for property values. Plus, plenty of new, nice furnished condos to choose from at 2k+/-, and you don’t even have to worry about the landlord kicking you out. You can just move to that unit upstairs which has been left vacant for years and your new landlord would even gladly throw in free internet for you!
Just my 20 cents comments – ‘own stay’ come with some risks. If the condo do not have enough ‘own stays’ – then there may be problem of maintenance. Fewer residents – no money for maintenance! And if rent too cheap – maybe undesirable residents….sigh.. I am always worried about next door becoming AirBnB.
@Trudy
I thought that’s residential title? Airbnb will be phase 4 under commericial. Phase 4 not for sales. And Zen9 coming around also under commercial title. Bay residence 1 room studio that’s even better choice for airbnb.
Not sure about queens but is a very strategic location.
Hopefully the control will be good like Quayside.
