@ezalor
Yes. Now all condo is RM50k discount if you’re serious buyer. RM100k discount is sap sap sui in few months time. Probably earlier. Condo subsale in Penang Island is oversupply without real demand. Mostly just see see so that they can grab when got 20%~50% discount.

The condos are over supplied for sure. But if those owners have strong holding power, it doesn’t really matter. Those are the people who have a lot of cash but too scare too put into stock market, not happy with the FD interest or mutual fund, what else options do they have? Buy a house lo…. Unless factories like intel, altera, motorola are cutting head counts or work only 3 days a week, or banks like Public Banks, Hong Leong are closing down.. else i doubt the market will collapse. Expecting the prices will not change so much for few years will be more realistic.

How is the progress on this condo? Seems like no movement since soft launch (last Oct). Will it be another The Clovers?

yeah, jus back from the site visit…no activities, no heavy machineries except for both parked excavator and a lorry.

Today they having event at Iconic City to push sales on this project.

what is the price range?

JJ :
what is the price range?

This weekend pay a visit to their office. Show unit ready for viewing. As for now, among the highest price on that area.

Hi.. When I compare iconic skies with other projects in this area, I personally feel iconic skies is better than the other condos… For GSD projects, especially sky cubes residences, i don’t have much comments on it… The only thing is smaller in size compared to iconic skies…for a better space and layout, u can go for iconic….I went to few units… Like Setia triangle, Setia pinnacle, and some other project for 1598sqft onwards… Iconic is better since Setia triangle is mostly sold out… Iconic skies is still in the highest rank among other condos in the area… I believe this relau area will be ok in another 3years time… upcoming 3 schools is already approved.. There are some old houses in the area…I believe it wil be all gone in another few years as this area is developing… I already bought one unit in tower B … Is there any buyer out there?

@Lasy
me too, same thought abt the design of this project……..just that 1 view would be facing the LMC and the other would be smelling petrol at times.

is this project still have unit available?

@Lasy
Hi…I still hesitating whether want to get an unit in Iconic Skies, do you think the price is a bit high in Relau area?

There is also a lot of projects in Relau coming up and what makes you bought an unit in Iconic Skies?

What is the price now?

Hope to hear more from you.

Thanks for sharing.

This condo is located at high density area due to the surrounding low cost & affordable flats in future. Secondly, it have only one road out to Relau & Sg. Ara which is facing heavy traffic jam every morning especially those working in industry. It getting worse ones the Idaman low cost flats obtain OC & coming projects Setia Pinnacle, Sierra, Garden, Skycube & Imperial condos all completed. Furthermore, Chung Hwa high school will build in front of it will make the traffic worsen.

hi all Iconic skies buyers,
DO you know any progress of the projects? S&P been signed should start some activities.

Heard that they engaged Zeonic Prop to market /sell for them last week.
May not start so soon….

Is the company stable?

anybody knowing the construction progress of the ICONIC skies? about 6 months SNP been signed.
do we have all buyers for Iconic Skies grouped together for progress sharing?

just came back from the site…Piling should have been done b’cos excavators and workers are digging and doing the foundation works with iron rods

@buyer88

Thanks buyer88 for the updates.
Appreciate if all buyers can union together and share for the contruction progress.

Due to poor respond, the construction progress very slow. Already 1 year launching, still doing the foundation works

If the economic down turn, don’t know the developer can runaway or not ???
Is it the 1st housing project in Penang?? Developer can trust??
Not so famous, unknown

@kekpo
if it has already sold >80%,…the possibility of running away is very little, because the price of the unit is > 600k ea…just imagine the profits per unit……last time 25 yrs ago…can lah….not many people got so much monies to buy and also the selling price is low.
btw, any idea what is the take up rate now?

today, developer running away quite unlikely otherwise banks wont be willing to take up the projects.

unknown/first time developer however will be less experienced in construction. thats about it.lolz

Latest update, this project no longer attach with affordable home. Is it true?

Last year Iconic staff told me that behind the Iconic land is planning to build affordable house, but they try to pull out to other area thru application, still waiting the approval from the authorities

The project progress looks really slow. Guess shld give a call to developer to get more updates.

selling with the highest price tag around that area from a new developer and comes with affordable home attached ? seriously ??

any buyers got bank release contruction progressive 10% to developer ady?

This project no movement still hang on the foundation stage, no sign to continue the next process.
IR project already 30% completed, IDEAL developer can be trusted !

What happen to the developer??
Already 1 year launched, why no movement at all ??

Not seeing the progress. Any idea?

can anyone provide some update on this project ?
any progress no movement… thx

Went there 2 time on last week… progress moving back.
Visit inside the project area n talk w contruction worker there.

saw a latest photo in iconic FB….currently in 3rd storey carpark. not sure is in good progress

Latest release smaller unit 970 sq ft from 450k to 500k net, only 64 units, with 6 +2% rebate,is it worth to buy?
No more affordable home attached.
Material quality and unit layout above market standard and low density with only 299 units, came with 2 car park SBS.

after rebate 450k?

indirect marketing strategy?

lol:
Yes after rebate lower floor 450k, each floor increase by 2k.
But if you chose facing west side, another additional rebate of 11k.

oooh, i forget about the evening sun…..but some properties are more expensive when facing the evening sun wor……ex: Skycube

@Ranee

went to Iconic showroom last week. seem like the 970 square feet are almost sold off.
left over unit mostly afternoon sun.

@Kop:
Heard that the early bird rebate may be removed once official launch at mid Jan.
Iconic now to speed up the early bird transaction on bank loan and SnP before the official launch.
After that those unsold units will be released to public.
I had booked a unit and looking for bank loan now. As at last week the remaining 970 sf left 10+ units.

heard from the salesperson that they have plans or already in plan that they will demolish those old houses surrounding iconic skies and build semiD/terrace? Anybody know if this is true? Land own by them?

hi all,

the 970sqf the living hall is it look quite small?
who have purchase the unit 970sqf?
mine to sharing.

@etsl
the 970 sqf living hall base on meter conversion is 15.5 x 17.3 ft = 268 sqf.

Am bank offer me 4.4% without MTBA, semi flexi package.
If with MTBA, able to get 4.38%.
Is the offer good?
Think going to sign the loan offer letter on coming Sunday.

IF got choice, go for full flexi loan, u can save more interest & more flexibility.

@Buyer
if you dont have extra money to dump in the CA , pointless to save interest and have to pay RM 10.60 per month .

@Ranee
offer consider good d ,UOB offer 4.45 % , i will take up with UOB due to other bank reject me.

@teh
Are u taking the smaller unit 970 sqft or bigger unit>1400 sqft?
My self taking the 970 sqft facing East.
Just paying my booking fees 5K. Signing SnP next 2 weeks.

@Ranee

How you are able to get those sizes? Their floor plan never indicate exact size and I guess it is at most 160sqf.

@naris
I think u referred to the old floor plan.
The new plan made changes on replacement the affordable house to the existing 970 sqft.
Total 970 sqft unit is 64 and currently left over ~6 or 7 units only. Iconic will lunching these units on 15 Jan.

@Ranee

I am referring to the updated 970sq unit which don’t have exact size for each of the room.

@Naris
Yes, don’t have exact size for the other 2 rooms except the master is 160sqft.
By roughly calculation base on scale of brochure, rm 2 ~120 and rm 3~ 90.
If u want the exact figure, should refer to iconic.

Either your maths is not good or you are from Iconic trying to exaggerate the size.
e.g. The room 3 is ~75sq, go check yourself the sq of the floor plan in Iconic’s website and tell me how you calculate it.

@naris
As I had mentioned earlier that if u want the exact dimension figure, should refer to Iconic.
Do u read me?

Ranee :buyer88:One of the buy house criteria is to avoid evening sun.

oooh, i forget about the evening sun…..but some properties are more expensive when facing the evening sun wor……ex: Skycube

Haha! My house is facing west. I put tinted glass also cannot avoid the heat from outside. Wall also hot, everyday switch on my aircon to 20 celcius, feel like a baking oven inside the house. Normally we hide and rest at the 3rd room or kitchen to overcome the heat. Is a big headache for me to own this house. I advice u all, please don’t buy house facing west, especially now is facing El Nino attack and world temperature is getting higher, noon sun is really cannot tahanloh!!!

@hong
That’s why iconic got discount those facing west 11k.
But end up I took my unit facing east and higher floor which is more expensive.
Even though after dark those facing west houses will be hotter than those facing east.

@Ranee
Ranee: depends on your room facing which side. if it is got east sun direct to your room than night time will be hot on your wall and will start feel it at night. Anyhow east or west as long as your wall not direct facing the sun it is ok d. Unless developer put the red brick(5times expensive) on your wall than it will be different story.

Actually my 1st room is not direct to the evening sun, but also feel the heat totally can’t sleep at all unless i on the aircon to 16 celcius to reduce the room temperature. This is concern about the facing, east side units are more safe as the morning sun is warmer than the evening sun. Right! But red brick wall only provided for super condos, not for ours

Correct! This is not room direct or indirect to the west sun, if house FACING west all will be heated by the evening sunlight especially the front rooms. There is no luck at all unless got another building in front to block the west sun. Happen that no good view for u to enjoy.

williamyl :@Ranee Ranee: depends on your room facing which side. if it is got east sun direct to your room than night time will be hot on your wall and will start feel it at night. Anyhow east or west as long as your wall not direct facing the sun it is ok d. Unless developer put the red brick(5times expensive) on your wall than it will be different story.

Talk so much also no uselah! If u stay inside the house then u will know how terrible is, but good for those SAUNA lovers. Hehe!!!

Houses facing east start to cool down after the noon time as sun moves to middle.
Whereas houses facing west start to cool down only after sunset ~6pm.
So end result houses facing east will have more time to cool down, it will be cooler at night.
Moreover, u cant even stand at yr balcony whole afternoon if yr unit facing west, plus point yr clothings hand at balcony will be drying fast.

@hong
Agreed with you. This El Nino attack will causing Malaysia temperature hit max 41 degree celsius, it’s very hot. Your wet clothes will dry up easily inside the house.

One suggestion you can try the Nippon’s Solar Reflective Paint Coating paints to reduce temperature at house.

970sqf 528k from iconic skies consider a good buy at relau area??

@Ming

facing east or west?

anyone went to their open house last weekend?

970sft still available?
still considering whether want to take up.

@kop
facing west high floor unit, east almost fully booked. East definitely have better view toward equatorial hotel. I went to their show unit last week, sales person told me it’s 10.5 feet ceiling height, does other condo have this tall of their ceiling height?

@Kop

97O sf only left the facing west side.
Heard got discount 11k on facing west beside the 6% rebate.
When I was there at last weekend, left ~6 units.
Early bird extra +2% not sure still available.

@Ranee

ya they still do, in my quotes they gave additional 2% rebate

i went there last week also. 6% rebate and another 2% is include but 11K discount for facing west is not mention by their sale person. At least they din mention to me.

@tsaircon

May be the listed price on those facing west units already discount 11k.
Comparatively at same floor, the facing west units was cheaper by 11k during my booking time quoted by iconic sales.
U may verify this with iconic once again.
Anyway those facing east units already being sold out.

@Ranee
Hi Ranee, Maybe u r right about it. Anyway, i already booked for west since that there don have any much choices at the east side that within my budget.

@Ming

Facing west personally not so prefer as hot sun in the afternoon.
on the celling height im not so sure what is the “standard” nowadays , might need to ask sifu here.

quite like this project as low dense compared to others project within this price range, might have to looks else where.

@Ranee

not sure why east side so fast “sold out”, i though is just open up for sale?

@kop

Actually the total of 970sf units only 64, 32 units on each of east and west wing.
Initially these units were designed for affordable houses.Somehow iconic managed to rearrange those affordable houses to another land in B.Ferengi.
Those units were then re designed to current 970sf with similar material spec wrt those 1500sf which cost >700k
The prices of lower floor starts from 450k which is quite close to those B.Lepas area affordable houses (upgraded) which is very high density n smaller size.
The above mentioned in fact is the selling point of this 970sf unit.
It actually started soft launch after successful conversion at Nov 2015.
My opinion on the 970sf unit is “worth to consider” for those limited budget.

Hi all,about the 2% extra rebate, it only discount if snp is sign and stamp within 21 days? is it even possible?
if after 21 days, will it still have the 2% rebate?
Thanks

Hey, Any 970sf unit for sale?

@Buyer
its had been sold out.

@kop
So do you get one for yourself on 970 sf.

@Ranee

Sadly No, not prefer afternoon sun. =(

@Buyer
Last call on 970sf unit facing west 32 floor due to someone bank loan rejected.
Go direct to Iconic office and don’t forget yr cheque book.

Hi any unit still available? What is the latest price? Now all subsale condo going for cheap sale…

Eagerly want to see how the rooftop finishing look like

hope not like UMNO building roof fall……

@BYG

It is difficult to say whether iconic will still follow. The outlook has changed when compared with the poster. I don’t see there is any horizontal slab anymore especially at the side of the real building. It doesn’t even match with the model in the office and is definitely far from the more luxury model used in their roadshow!

Both buildings horizontal slab are missing, the vertical slab should be come out abit from the main building also, it was also missing as well.

@kop
i thought the unit facing west is those 1598 sqt unit

@Ryu

Though the horizontal slabs were missing, but the roof top vertical slabs already being erected at its proposed position.

Is any of the buyer of Iconic skies have a whatapps group?

@ryu

Early bird buyers SnP signed 1st july 2014.

hi

any owner 970sqf. mind to share how to renovation the master bedroom.

or any idea to position the wardrobe?

I am one of 970 sqft owner.
Just done preliminary inspection, no major defects except some edge chip of wall tiles at toilet and most of the doors at lock set side had minor wood crack.

Disappointing only one side of kitchen wall with tiles and other side plastering with white paint. Referred to SnP saying tiles to ceiling height at selected area. Any 970 sqft owner has any concern on this?

On top of this, every floor lift lobby area except “facility floor “also without wall tiles, just white paint, disappointing.

@ranee

Hi Ranee,

any idea for master bedroom wardrobe position?

mu unit also have some minor defect.

@slt

Master room wardrobe position just follow the brochure on building spec provided by Iconic.
That is back of wardrobe against the longest wall and front facing the door.

Don’t mind to share your defects also.

@ranee @slt

Can check whether in both bathroom, the plate behind the shower water cold/hot volume control is installed upside down? I am not sure whether this is due to the wall supply elbow is now under and too near to it.

Btw, anyone notice that the basin given is smaller i.e not square as in the show room? Same applies to the toilet paper holder which is very different now.

The kitchen is expected as has been told before that either one of the wall will be tiles up to the ceiling but the common areas e.g. lift lobby is definitely not up to expectation, too plain.

Kitchen renovation might be a little bit difficult as there are nice 2 windows for both sides which will be blocked if the cabinet is too close. Anyone got any ideas?

Anybody install the main grille already?

anybody ad install the Astro?

connect ok?
