@Ayda amalina
@Lee Ai Sim
The developer will send you the offer letter if you are selected for the affordable housing.

@Lee Ai Sim

if affordable house you mean 300k. then you wait the project sold all the open unit. after that they sell a certain threshold of their state units. Then the leftover unit where no one wants to buy, developer will allocate those unit to government. From there, you will wait government’s letter to inform you if you’re selected or not. Give and take 1 and half years more to go for you.

please pm details

I’m interested in this project, please pm

Interested in 1000sqft, please pm

I heard this project completion date only 3 years? Is this real?

@Kim

Yup, developer estimated and committed completion only take 3 years. By far the best and fastest developer in Penang island I think. The rest is 4 years.

PM Interested …

Hi, is this still available?

HI, THIS STILL AVAILABLE?

@Ken Ng

@ALYNA

Yes, available, developer no need agent to sell. So can directly just go to their office to enquire.

@Ken Ng

Thanks thanks. I manage to secure a unit last week. Luckily still got choices. Developer only start selling recently. Really find no agent selling this, need go developer office during working hours

want to ask anyone letting go unit #8? pls let me know. whichever floor is ok.

where is the developer office?

@KK
The developer’s office is at 86 Avenue.

@CY

Thanks !! found it.

I’m still interested in unit #8, anyone letting go pls notify, prefer mid~high floor thxx

@Alvin

If this project allow agent sell, sure sold out within days but what’s the point… let the agent earn high commission only. Good project no need agent push and facebook ads

May I know what is the selling price of the open unit?

@TH Khor
Only those project over 1M need to advertise.
The Cube is alike Mezzo/Queens waterfront but sell with affordable price. Anyhow, the Zen still the best development in this decade as you wouldn’t get any seaview for The Cube.

@Hee Chan
well said…Zen is way too underpriced during the launch. Congratulations to all the buyers

@Hee Chan
The Zen buyer all has very small d… why so insecure? running around telling people your condo is good. It won’t really make your condo good, it just look cheaper now after reading your comments

@YL
540k

I went to the developer office to apply but was told the state housing unit starting price is RM480k and not RM300 as advertised. They only have “upgraded package” which is around 1000sqft instead of 850sqft. Anyone face this issue or any advise for me. First time home buyer here. Thanks

Is this location ok? I used to passby that road and the jam was crazy, especially during lunch hours. I got stuck for almost half an hour just for a small stretch and since then avoided using that road. May I know why is this project a good sell and why should I consider this project?

May I know is the price they offered RM480k for affordable housing is correct as I went to the office and they told me they dont offer RM300k for now. Should I agree to such a price for my first property as I was looking for affordable housing unit around 300k

@Emily

No need to buy. If you think that road is jam, you can’t stay in Penang. Try look for projects at Simpang Ampat or Nibong Tebal area.

@Sam

No affordable projects in Penang Island offer 300k. Only government offer rm300k. Of course, if you pay 300k, you get 300k. It’s the same for all other affordable homes project in Penang Island.

Not sure why you sound so sour, I am a penangites and looking for my own home now. I took in many factors before deciding which project to get as I am getting for my own stay and long term. I been staying my whole life in Penang. But I just curious why there are many people eying for this project eventho the jam is terrible around this area

@Khai

@Emily

I might come off as rude, but to be honest, I’m dead serious. If you think that road is jam, you literally can’t stay in Penang at all. Maybe that day you drive that road got accident or event. Or else, you aren’t making any sense.

But if you’re not joking, and is a serious buyer. Just a few factor why The Cube is a good buy. 1) Low Density, 2) Low Density. 3) Prime location. It’s Jelutong and is DTL (Daerah Timur Laut). 4) extremely underpriced when considering Specs and Location. 5) 2 carparks no tandemn 6) near to amenities (hypermarket, school, clinics, food, etc. all within 5mins WALK). 7) No traffic congestion 8) The rest u can do more research. Again, low density at such prime location. Totally best value project at the moment and possibly in history. You cant even find such low density project in lousy location like Bayan Lepas or Batu Feringghi

8) freehold.

@Khai
Wow…very well said. No Jam. Prime location. OMG.
You think this is Queens waterfront + Quayside? lol.

Honest my side opinion as below.
10 floors of carpark hmmm…you know.
House with this price ok well acceptable.
Location well some say prime some just congested. It’s congested & bossku tailor area & not even a road but just a Lorong lane with one lane access in & out. Those staying surrounding should know.
Low density? Ok for affordable house 2arce land with less than 400 units ok but 1 to 5th floors are commercial well up to individual justify…
Reason why selling like hot cakes probably for those want to stay nearby town area. Another reason maybe some buyers thought this is first affordable house with balcony glass panel. So, with glass panel more class? Pls check out value of 86 avenue that should be answered all doubt. 300k house won’t come with 2 CP. Those 480k only 2 cp but 10 floors anyway.

@Khai
Lol… you’re so good willing to list those out… as Homebuyers, they should do homework themselves ma… If i were u, i will just ask a simple question.

Don’t care location lousy or no lousy, entire penang island. got project with this specs and low density, somemore give 2 carparks, sell at this low price ma? If don’t have ma got answer liao lo. no need ask so much

@Khai
Agreed on those good selling points on this project.
But how about the back ground and any history record on this developer? This should be the primary factor for those intend to purchase rather than high levels of cp, down stair having commercial, congested area etc.

One of the way to kill the overthinking

@WC_Ong

@Owner

@Khai

Yes, this is what I meant actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s a prime area or not, the key question here is about the jam. I was stuck for almost 20 min going to Taman Free School using that road, it was just a small stretch of road and the jam was crazy, with no accident but just a normal lunch hour (which happened a few times). The road is so narrow and has only one lane. How would this one lane cater to so many new residents? It doesn’t matter if it’s low or high dense, it wouldn’t solve or answer the congestion issue if this building was finally completed. It is a good value for money property but some of us take into account many factors. If they could solve the issue then it would be great. Some of us, like me, are here to ensure we bought our first property with due diligence, not here to argue. To spend almost half a million is a lot for some of us. It’s not about oh then don’t buy, then don’t stay here, then don’t use that road. It’s about ensuring we don’t fall into the trap and regret it later. Some people are concerned about the workmanship, some want better facilities, and some want peace of mind; all of us are different and have different needs when comes to buying property.

@WC_Ong

The reason why I am here is to seek answers and get clarification. and I appreciate all the answers given by everyone here especially Khai for listing out few key points for my consideration.

@Emily
Traffic congestion is normal in Penang. I have to repeat, if you can’t accept traffic congestion, you can’t stay in Penang island. Moreover I said many times. This is a prime location. Common sense there will be traffic congestion. What do you think about Gurney? Is it a good location? Do you think there’s no traffic congestion there?

@Emily
By the way, I stay in Jelutong for 15 years already. Until now I still don’t see traffic congestion here. if you mean wait traffic light or a lot of cars. Then yes, it is traffic congested. There is human in this area. A lot of humans. It is prime location

@Emily
Another simple question to fix your issue with traffic congestion in this area. This question is also very simple. Please answer. Can you please name an area in Penang Island that is not traffic congested?

To be honest, as a Penangites, traffic congestion is the very very last thing to consider when buying a house. Not sure why are you even thinking this as priority. This is almost like you’re looking for a car in Malaysia that doesn’t need to pay roadtax.

@Emily
Depends on where you are working at. Bayan Lepas? Its not that bad. Can use highway and the only jam is in sg pinang traffic light. After that there are multiple road entry you can use to go back home without going through any other traffic light.
Even the wait time at jalan perak traffic light doesnt seems that bad/acceptable, unless you are coming from jalan free school at peak hour.
If you are working in town area, then it doesnt really matter where you stay. Youre going to experience 30 min jam

@Emily
Personally Im more concern on the commercial lot below the condo and the building surrounding the area. Dont think it will do well or can attract quality business to open up and its has 5 commercial floor.

@PP
> Bayan Lepas? Its not that bad

haha, try going around the big roundabout, u will know whats the real congestion in penang.

For upgrade Price of 480k /540k, i prefer The Zen (can get with 430K-550K open mkt), it’s attractive only for affordable unit of 300k bare unit, but the cap park level at 9th / 10th level is very inconvenient for user.

@Emily
Buying a property can be an overwhelming experience, especially if you are a first-time homebuyer.
The number one factor to consider is background of the developer.
Purchasing projects under construction carries the risks of delays, or the possibility of the project being abandoned.
Buying from a reputable developer with strong financials and a proven track record helps minimize the risks.
After that then only consider other factors like land title, location, environment, traffic flow, pricing, facility, bank loan and so on…

@KC
Don’t compare with The Zen/Zen6. The Zen series is another level than The cube project.
Perfect carpark floor as only 4 to 5th floor with super prime location & those 480k come with seaview/bridge view.
Overall Zen is perfect & same as Queens concept except no balcony. As of Zen6 price may shoot up soon.
Cube is little same as The Muze with high level of carpark floor but congested traffic with old building around.

@PP
Why would anyone choose this area if working in Bayan Lepas? Wont it be a long way home with multiple traffic jam during rush hours? And located near schools, if you dont have children going to those schools, it totally doesnt make sense to stay nearby as you should know how bad the traffic will be during school start/end hours.

@KC
Yes, 10 levels of multistorey carpark is a problem. It’s ok if you get assigned 1 to 4 floor (typically tolerable by most), but higher than that, you might have problem selling your house later when buyers get to choose what they buy at what price with carpark on which floor.

@KC
You pay what you get. 300k at such prime location and good specs, of course your carpark will be at 9th/10th floor.

@KC
Lol bro.. you ok or not? That project is ultra-high dense beehives of 2000 units and lousy location

@Owner
Quayside and Queens starting price is 480k for 1000squarefeet? Are you lost? Did you comment at wrong place?

@Santorinii
I’m not lost. It is just the location different but with same product. The cube has glass panel type of balcony which is similar like Queens & almost same size as well. That’s why selling like hot cakes. Got people mentioned The cube is one of best property in the history for affordable category so is comparable like Quayside in north & Queens at South.

@Emily
Got 3 SJK(C) Primary school nearby, 2 of them at walking distance.
And a Heng Ee Secondary High school somemore.

1 Bandar Baru super market just opposite of your house, and a lot hawker nearby. Also very near to Perak Road Pasar & Free school.

Exit wise, you can exit through Jelutong Express then you will be in Lim CHong Eu Express in no time already.

@foxy

Actually, nope, I was staying nearby there since I born, already decade I go Bayan Lepas and back for study collage and work.

Most of the traffic is going into Georgetown in morning (opposite of your going), and going out from Georgetown in evening (also opposite of your going once you passed the junction to 1st bridge).

The only jam part is from flyover outside Keysight until outside of Queensbay, which is almost the same even you stay in Bayan Lepas area due to more traffic light and queue you waiting, I averagely reach my workplace in 20minutes, go home 40minutes.

@PP
If she stay The Cube, she no need go thru Sungai Pinang Traffic also, as well direct going down Jelutong express and exit at Jelutong to highway. I believe will be much faster too.

@juju
Yes, people often having impression that working in Bayan Lepas = Best stay in Bayan Lepas, I got a colleague who stay at Golden Triangle, he come to office more or less just like my timing or even slower due to he got more traffic light than me LOL.
The cube will even faster due to Sungai Pinang traffic light already took you 10minutes, so if you skipped that using Jelutong Express, will be 10min to Bayan Lepas only.

@AG
I have to say, all the AG or The Zen buyers has small d…. very insecure about their condo. Keep running around talking about how good their project is. Trying to hide the fact they are super ultra-high density condo with 2000 units, selling at above average price despite lousy location. Get a life please, if you make a decision you regret, sell it. No need to spread false information trying to heighten your mistake

@Islander
I think if you stay around queensbay area or bayan baru (many new condos) and maybe around airport (many new Ideal condos there), you should be able to reach home from work within 20 minutes. But of course, if you grow up in Jelutong, you tend to hv relatives/parents staying in Jelutong too, so that’s probably your primary selection.

@foxy

It depends on which side you stay and work in Bayan Lepas, it can be very far due to a big long airport chock between FTZ4.

If you work at Keysight or Plexus side, going back Jelutong might be faster than you go back Havana.

If you stay Sungai Ara and need to go Diamond Valley to work, also good luck to you.

@Islander
If FTZ, why not just consider buy Quaywest or Zen6? I believe much nearer & close to Queensbay mall & even go market also quite near like Lipsin Sungai Dua. The location is quite peaceful & close to seaside. Very much easy access to work/play/shopping & plenty of amenities nearby too.

@juju @Islander
Im just asking if she is working at bayan lepas, not implying that she should choose to stay at bayan lepas area. I was thinking the same and there is alot of road you can use going into jelutong. Consider the traffic there acceptable la

Penang traffic jam is very common and hectic daily, its the right time and the right place that you won’t get stuck, Perak Road and Jelutong have times which are less traffic compare to peak hours. I stay Jelutong many years, I work in Bayan Lepas, normal traffic during 8am onwards, finish work 5pm, jam at Perak Road and Jelutong not so hectic as well.

Do you think this place worth investing for renting out or preferably for own stay?

@Samual
Jelutong is mostly a place for the locals, rentals wont be fantastic. For better rental returns, tanjung tokong or gurney, but just be mindful not to buy overpriced properties there.

@Khai
True… 100% agree.

@Ooi Seng Kee
True… 100% agree. It’s much better than Queens waterfront/Muze/Quayside or The light.

@Khai
If only this is not penangpropertytalk but Malaysiapropertytalk, I believe under Sarawak project also u can see AG insecureness comparing their Zen seaview with Sarawak Crocodile river.

@Ooi Seng Kee

1. Going FTZ to work, yes.

2. Going back from FTZ to work, not much different as the main jam is before you enter to Queensbay area. If you can entering Queensbay area you already quite less of jam.

3. Queensbay Mall and Lipsin look near because it’s pretty empty around Zen right now, but it’s not as near as walking distance, anyhow you also need to drive, you might have small traffic outside Queensbay mall or when going in, or even outside supertanker traffic light. The cube within 5min of walk I can reach Bandar Baru supermarket and some hawkers already.

4. I don’t know if you are one of the AG doomposters, why not mention Q1 Q2? But anyway, I don’t often promote Jelutong or somewhere, just everyone should come to realize that Zen location is not as convenient as it looks, those who know them know.

5. The cube is under affordable pricing, location wise might suitable for those who living with family and elders, I agree that the investment won’t be as good as Zen/Quaywest but definitely a better prime location than Zen/Quaywest if you buy for own stay with family.

@Chew Wong
i never said that… probably another loser trying to promote their project again

@Islander
Agreed. The reason I compared those are almost similar price which still in affordable range. Q1 &Q2 I don’t think a working class able to reach now as price almost 1M starting onwards that’s why I don’t mention that. That project is alike Quayside condo in straits quay.

@Chew Wong
Why you say loser? Don’t try to manipulate.
The cube is good & suitable for you. Queens Muze Light straits quay is for successful person only but not you lol

@Chew Wong
Loser because you need to imitate someone, got no guts to use your own name. Loser because you need to promote your project in other project’s page. Loser because you are so insecure of your own projects. This is The Cube page, we should discuss The Cube. If you really so scared your project lose The Cube, go ask your management take good care of the building. Not running around and spam at penangpropertytalk saying your project very good.

@Ooi Seng Kee
You’re comparing apple to oranges. This is kinda pointless. They are different price mark and they are offering different specs. At this point, it’s really up to individual. Personally, I would rather be homeless than staying near qb. That place is slowly filling up with bangla/indonesian roaming and the everlasting raya pesta. Queensbay mall is so much inferior to gurney plaza. Not to mention, Zens are the worst possible project to consider, it is located at such an awkward place, and yet so highly density. Somehow, buyer could still accept such defects at high prices like 400k per unit. It’s crazy. 2000 units of 400k price mark. This is daylight robbery.

@Chew Wong
When you start to serious then definitely lose already. The forum is widely open for free discussion. Everyone has their own view & opinion. It’s correct right? The Cube is affordable house range same as The Zen. That’s why got under affordable scheme & open market unit. Those high-end are different product which is beyond your reach. Just accept the fact.

@Chew Wong
You mean Queensbay Queens waterfront many Bangla/Indonesia?I’m not owner of any project in QB area as over price to me. I’m never been in The Zen/Zen6 yet. But it has a very good comment by buyers. You can check in developer google review& comment. 5 stars rating overall for all Zen buyers. Seen Asia Green has done a good job in Zen. I just check and see comment from owners. But in actual my opinion is little bit high dense. But plenty of happy buyers anyway.

@Chew Wong
Hahahaha… you call those projects “high-ends”??? Okok, you disclosed how low your standard is already. Sorry, you’re not worth my time. Feel free to continue use my name. ciao.

@Ooi Seng Kee
happy buyers? haha… TOO EARLY TO SAY. used to have a lot of ideal project owner was happy with their purchase. The moment they got the key and have a taste of high density condo. Many been trying to sell off their unit. I got one of my friend in One Foresta, sold unit at loss. But she’s glad she able to sell it off.

@WC Ong
The Zen/Zen6 is from Ideal?
Ya. Based on review, many happy buyers for Zen.

@WC Ong
Zen buyers already got the key & majority are satisfied with purchase & no problem.

As of Queens waterfront seen high density right? You mentioned Queens waterfront? I not sure about it as not go in before.

This is about The Cube, if you comparing it with anywhere else too far then its not Apple-to-Apple already, surely people who look at The Cube prefer to stay around Jelutong regardless he works in Bayan Lepas or not.

I’m giving an opinion from Jelutong to work in Bayan Lepas POV since someone mentioned it.
Surely Zen got their sell point but these AG doomposter are just getting annoying.

If your property is so good why do you even need to sell hard of it, so long already Quay West still not yet fully sold?
Or why you so insecure of your purchase need to condemn others to show you making right choice?

Good luck

@Islander
I give up on commenting already. These guy are just insecure about their purchase is trying very hard to hype their project so they can avoid selling at loss. Only thing bad is that they trying to hype their project on other project’s page. Wasting everybody else time by spreading fake review and spamming how good The Zen is. Such location, such density. The Zen is basically second I-Santorini / Havana Beach / Ideal residency. Mini hongkong-style flat apartment.

@Islander

Forget it, those The Zen victim is just panicking and had no choice. That’s the downside of buying property without doing proper research. Hopefully they can find another victim to buy off their unit. Or else they really waste effort… They consistently doomposting for 3 years since MCO until now. We just need to stop reacting to them, they should be quiet soon.

@Islander
Quaywest is good which at least spacious with reasonable price. Those unsold units are dual key which over 1.6M & understandable.

Q3 the sales is very low as demand is low.
Price is dropping gradually & transaction also drop.
Noisy car racing/not well maintained/unprofessional guard/illegal parking leading low appreciation to this project & low sale for new phase.

@WC Ong
I don’t think that’s a correct comparison apple to orange.
The Zen/Zen6 is almost same as Queens waterfront.
Both has seaview/commercial/same location &density too.
It will appreciate higher later once surrounding environment fully developed.
Zen has another advantage is less noisy of car race & airplane than Queens. The cube is good but not in a same category which is lower as situated in Perak lane.

@WC Ong
Another losing imitating other people’s name to promote their project out of insecurity and tryhard to spread fake rumours. This guy really has no guts to use his own name. Just doomposter because Penangpropertytalk doesn’t forbid such activity

@SK
Both you and that loser should get a life seriously. Don’t make this your occupation. Misleading readers thinking your project is good. If it’s that good, don’t need to mislead readers. Go write your comment at their own project name. Don’t spam at others and act like some sissy insecure lowlifes.

This is what happen when penangpropertytalk allow random peoples comment in The Cube project page. Because this project is well-known and hot topic in town. Everyone tries to promote their own project and spread fake facts trying winover buyers. To all readers, any other project mentioned in this page (The Cube), is just sore loser who are insecure of their purchase, PERIOD.

I feel bad for those who don’t do their homework properly and are misled by this doom posting to purchase their sub-sales house.

@Islander
Actually the fact is true The cube is in Perak lane.
Queens is very noisy plane sound/night racing.

Zen6 is slightly better than those even density is higher but a better brand new location & no plane sound & night racing.
Overall it’s better peaceful environment. That’s true.

@WC Ong
I believe in this forum is fair for everyone to voice out as long as not over or any used of inappropriate wording/comment. Everyone has their own opinion & free to share or comment. We shouldn’t stop anyone from commenting. Everyone has to do their homework which is true & not entirely trust in forum as everyone has their own view where we should respect.
Cube is a good project but it’s still an empty land allocated in Perak lane surrounded by old flat apartment house with many floor of parking only 1 lane in & out. Zen6 is little bit isolated maybe for some from town area because it’s a brand new development surrounding. Some may say high density or white mice etc but with this price tag with seaview only 4th floors carpark & brand new township..I will say is really good project & high potential appreciation later.

Those hard sell or keep on promoting with no end on their loser products actually made their products looks cheap and unwanted. In fact it is hurting the developer’s reputation.

@millionaire

If I’m a buyer with a sane mind I will think twice about why these people keep shouting about their project.

@SK
No wrong, both are supposed to target different customers, we are annoyed that these AG doomers come ka ka cao cao.

PenangProperTalk not maju enough to filter bot comment yet.

@SK
I take back what I said about you. You seem to be reasonable and unlike some coward using other people names and just spamming the same comment “The Zen is best buy, Zen 6 is forever best” kind of lame and false statement. However, I don’t know if AG can do any better than Ideal. There are too many existing bad examples of high density. I-Santorini and One Foresta is the only ultra-high density condo which is showing too many ignorant victims that are crying out for help. Selling at loss, and regretting their purchase. Havana Beach + Maldives, Ideal Residency + Ideal Venice is going to be the second wave of outcry. They are bound to be hellish place to stay. If we look at the density, Zen and Zen6 is part of the second wave. We’ll see. Anyway, my take is Penang not ready for High Density hongkong-style flat apartment. These condo won’t appreciate in Penang. The reason I said The Cube seem attractive is, there is no bad history of low density condo in Penang. Jelutong location has been appreciating every year without fail, from flat to apartment to condo and landed. All the house price in Jelutong just keep going up. The location of Jelutong is literally middle of the island. Easy access to town area, easy access to industrial zone. And extremely near to penang first bridge. Project location is surrounded by amenities and convenience. Project price is not cheap, but definitely considered most value, if compared to all other project. I admit the carpark is worrisome, but this worry is for those aiming to buy 300k from government. I believe, this is fair. You get what you pay. You pay 300k, you park at top floor of carpark. There is no free lunch in this world, especially not in 21st century. If you’re naive, can’t blame others

@Islander
The reason I believe AG doomers come ka ka cao cao is coz they are agents selling Zen (or whatever they hv there) who somehow think that one buyer here for the Cube would mean 1 less potential buyer for what they are selling there. Understandable lah considering they survive on commission, and would be willing to do or say anything (even knowing it’s not true) just to sell.

@WC Ong
You’re absolutely right.
But you miss out Queens waterfront. That is another huge wave also of high density seafront condo. It’s better Zen6/Zen where paid a lower price but getting same size as Queens & same seaview & commercial too. Imagine 1M in Queens I can buy 2 unit for Zen which is 1600sqf+ rather than 950sqf.
Some people say is high-end but I don’t think so. Q3 demand is dropping with plenty empty unit left.

@Islander
This is not ka ka cau cau. In this forum everyone is sharing & if you couldn’t accept then just ignore. Everyone talk based on data & fact. Believe it or not it’s up to individual.
The fact is on your hand. Those from outstation, you ask them Perak lane..they ask you where is this place.
If The Zen bayan mutiara nearby QB then everyone know. So the market you know the standard already. One is Kampung level another is well known level. lol

@foxy
I think The Cube is the only Condo project in Penang that doesn’t need agent to sell. They just open for sale, customer come to developer office to buy. Project completion date committed is just 3 years. This is the amount of confidence the developer has. So far I have never seen a condominium project launch in 2022~2024 (Penang) doesn’t open to property agent to spam advertisement and post online. Maybe they save the commission they need to pay to property agency and instead, change it into value for buyer?

@WC Ong
I agree Jelutong is middle of the island. You can go everywhere from this starting point. It would be near for Georgetown to go Batu Feringghi, but far to get to Bayan Lepas. If you stay at Bayan Lepas, it would be near for you to go Teluk Kumbar/Balik Pulau, but too far to get to Tanjung Tokong. And this place is as you said, extremely near first bridge. It is indeed a strategic and prime location. No wonder house prices there keep going up.

@foxy
The Cube is the only condo project in Penang didn’t get Property Agency to help sell their project. Maybe they saved up on paying those agency commission, convert it to value for buyers?

May i know when the project will be completed?

@Khai
No wonder they can give such good spec despite located at such an expensive land. Now it all make sense. Glad I made the purchase. Zero regrets.

@Khai
It depends. I am not sure how experienced or how much nego power they have with the contractors. That 1,2% paid to agents as commission by a developer could easily be offset by better nego power or better design. It all depends. But one thing is for sure, buyers must always be careful of what agents say as like I said, they won’t think twice lying just to close a deal while the developer is not liable for what agents say. Good reputable developers like E&O with a long term view no longer sell thru agents.

Since the developer dont offer 300k units (after checking with them), they only selling with the upgraded package as of now, does that mean the carpark for us will be above level 7 till level 10? I dint check with them about the carpark. Omg

@WC Ong

Data and fact by people who don’t even know where is Perak lane or live there? bravo.
I’m sharing this hidden gem, for who interest, not everyone only got option to buy AG or Ideal at Bayan Lepas, and sharing the FACT that not even far as you guys think to go Bayan Lepas.

like 3 minutes to Jelutong Express, tell me how fast you will get over Greenlane in the morning. Or Golden Triangle, Sungai Ara traffic light?

If buy for investment, good for you, feel free to take a look Zen/Q1Q2/TreeO as they are famous and popular project.

But this is Penangpropertytalk, not PenangInvestmentTalk, not everything has to look from investment POV, people who just looking for a new project for own stay, here is the hidden Gem that probably not much of people noticing.

Just take a look Setia Sky Ville behind SMJK Heng Ee selling at 700k (or higher now), The Cube is totally steal, if you don’t agree with The Cube means you don’t agree Zen is better investment than Q1Q2 too, same logic here.

@Khai

The location is not new, but built on an existing crossroad that many using since decades, needs no further agency for sure this is the confidence level they have.

Often a lot of hidden gems that only real locals know, no cap, but people who come to this forum probably only look at the famous 1.

Typically misconception of many people is that you are only near Bayan Lepas if you stay in Bayan Lepas, it’s a big no, Bayan Lepas itself is also very big and has a lot of traffic lights, it depends on which point you going from.

I would say The Cube go Plexus does not even need 15minutes, 25minute at morning traffic. Unless you suey got accident in Lim Chong Eu Express, but how can you expect that to happen everyday, somemore not to ignore got like 3 SJK(C) and 1 SMJK(C) nearby, and 2-3 of them at walking distance, 2 wet markets at 2-5min drive, and 1 Supermarket just literally opposite of your house, nearby got like 3 sets of small foodcourt in walking distance too.

Extra sharing: just 1 street away you actually can find almost all brands of car service centres there even BMW.

@Islander
Hidden Gems meaning no body know.
When no body know meaning no value.
Currently is just an empty land yet. Wait until it completed & get the key with defects rectification then only see can fly or not.
It’s totally misleading of linking BMW with cube. lol.
Perak lane is Chap. I foresee not a proper manage of surrounding.

@foxy
Maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not. But 2% of 540K is 10.8K. That means 10.8K value per unit taken away from buyers. That is hefty price that buyer need to pay for the agent’s advertisement fee and facebook ads

@Islander
Agreed completely.

@WC Ong
To all readers, any other project mentioned in this page (The Cube), is just sore loser who are insecure of their purchase, PERIOD.

@WC Ong
There are useless beings that are insecure about their projects. Keep using my name and someone else name because they are too insecure. Just ignore. If in this The Cube page, not discuss The Cube, can just ignore.

May I know when the project will be ready?

@Samual
3 years completion date. Should be latest by 1st half of 2027.

Slightly off-topic but would like to seek advice on whether progressive payment is better than a completion purchase price loan as this project is still under construction. And how are progressive payment can benefit homebuyers. Apart from this project is selling like hot cakes so better grab it fast. Just like to know on the payment and interest parts. Thank you everyone

@Billy
My take is that most people prefer take loan on complected project as progressive payments will make you pay more in interest overall

@Debbie
I’m still interested in unit#8 anyone letting go, please let me know. we can discuss at developer office, willing to negotiate further. any floor is ok.

Do you guy think the secondary market prospect will be for The Cube? Roughly same as 86 Avenue despite smaller space?

86 Revenue Residence: 2 carpark default
96 units (Super low dense)
Built up: 1,028 – 1,469 sf
Rental range: ~1,900-2,500 (3-4 rooms)
Secondary value around 650k – 710k

The Cube: 3 rooms
Built up: 850 sqft – 1k sqft
349 units
Rental range: ???
Secondary value around ??

Unless you get 300k unit from government.
If go for open unit 480k/550k then might need to think twice already. Your only best bet is good built quality from this developer and the below commercial shop lot developer can bring in good F&B brand.

@WC Ong

Went to the developer’s office last month, this is what the PIC told me about this project.
Not sure if the info is correct.

The Cube
2 levels stores: should have carparks in these floors too.
10 levels carpark: 1-6 level is for 540k units, 7-8 level is for 480k state upgraded units, 9-10 level is for 300k gov units.
11-38 levels, 14 units per floor.
540k units only left with less than 15 units. (Top floors)
480k state upgraded units only left with 30+ units. (14 floor – 26 floor)
300k gov units are not released yet, roughly about 56 units only based on the unit list because they are empty. (11 floor – 14 floor)

@B Wong
Nothing is free lunch in this world. You paid what you get.
10 level of carpark floor is disaster which you have to drive up & down daily. It’s similar as the muze.
As of appreciation, you couldn’t expect much in this location unless seaview condo such as The Zen/Pier or Central (upcoming jelutong highway).
Don’t forget to ask for your parking lot size. If you drive BMW/Benz, probably couldn’t slot in. You have to park in your other house.

@Ryu
I don’t think Central can be better than Zen/Pier. Zen/Pier still the best to offer

@chookimhock
Definitely. Pier is seafront condo & Zen is in PWC master plan.
This is a brand new township. The parking floor is flexible as only consist of 4 to 5th floor & well design unlike Muze & Cube.
Just imagine you have to round up & down daily.

If you notice carefully, the build up of carpark floor for each new projects are getting higher and higher some up to 10 floors.

@Ryu
Pier & Cube both are totally different product.
The cube is affordable house & targeting those who are based in Jelutong & town area. It’s a very convenient location.
The Pier is a rare seafront project with upgrade concept of Queens waterfront.

@chookimhock
Initially, I doubted my purchase of The Zen but with such great service from the management team &AG group to the key handover, definitely it worth!

@HenQi
Congratz! I’m sure you will be millionaire in 3 years time!

@chookimhock
I already millionaire & billionaire of hair.
Good investment. The appreciation is high because of seaview.
I wish The Cube follow same trend as best affordable house in town. I sold my seafront condo & Sungai ara house to invest in affordable house. The appreciation of affordable unit surprisingly high at least 50% or higher because of high demand in market.

@chookimhock
Thanks! You’re late. Not 3 years after but 3 years before.
I have 5 now.

@KC
I heard my friends said he bought the zen paying 500+k and the unit is without piping, he need to redo by himself and there is extra costs for him.

@Ora
500k? Daily rob!! Seaview condo!!

@Ora
small issue. the condo market value is approaching 900k now

@chookimhock

Just saw online portals current highest selling price still rm740k only, still far away from rm900k

@Ashraf
Not really far away. Rm740k is unfurnished & renovated.
If you engage ID for Reno or any unit after Reno then price will easily RM850k 900k for seaview.

@Sam
How was the progress afterward?

Just went developer office ytd and paid booking fee for state unit…still got unit available

@Kent
Which mean plenty of buyer got doubt on this project despite selling lower affordable price range. Zen series already fully sold out.
Again, location location. Perak road is chap.

Still have available unit? Can I go to the shown room unit?

@Ryu
Many are not aware about this project and as far as I know it has already sold almost half including open units without any agents and much publicity. Perak road is definitely a gem

@Sam
Off course people got doubt.
First is developer. 2ndly is location define as in perak lane. Location will conclude everything.
I afraid people trying avoid this project. Only perak lane kia will buy that’s why slow.In short to say, It’s just a germs then gem.

@Ryu
agree!

@Sam

The sole reason it is not selling off is because developer don’t use agency like other developer. That’s the confidence the developer has. I think Penang in 21st century, this is the one and only project that is not asking agent to sell their units. Unlike other project spamming ads and investing all buyer’s money into showroom to convince people. Maybe, just maybe when the unit left 10 or 20, developer can consider ask agent help to sell. Then people will realize there’s this gem.

@Ryu

You are the germ. Lol. Your logic is totally twisted.

@chookimhock
Checked in Property Guru, FIlter from Highest price is just only RM 650k, how u see 6 as 9 isit?

@chookimhock
So you are saying upgrading a myvi with lots of gimmicks and appearance will turn the car into Cooper? Ecven if you renovate your house become very atas, your neighbourhood will still affect your unit.
