I think they are struggling. I visited their showroom 3 months back and the sale person told me there will be a new project launch (the lot behind the current showroom) in early October. But now already the end of October…. no news yet.

As for Woodsbury, senyaaaaaap saja.

Its normal action from the sales person. Coz the woodsbury project under progress already. Sure they will focus on the new projects. Can get more commission from the new one.

Hi

upon looking at harbour place , i found out that ocean view had the nicest view and it is seperate from the existing project , they all have nice view of the sea over looking penang island in the front row

However woodsbury seem to be far off inside and only tower A have a view of the island

Somehow i feel not so worth for all tower B buyer for having the building facing prai and with the building just beside the busy main road plus highest price in butterworth now

What you guy think ? And why do you buy anyway unit in tower B and what make you made that decision

Thanks

I bought it for own stay by looking at its location. Otherwise i expected no subsale & rental demand for condo at mainland. Anyone created woodsbury owner fb group?

Just saw a post dated 26th October, there will be a A proposed high-rise commercial development by Paricon Corporation Sdn. Bhd opposite Woodsbury.

27-storey commercial building with 154 units of service suites.

great news.

Woodsburians, how’s the progress of the constructions like? Anyone has any update? =)

Block b 33 level d i think, block a just 9 level i think

By the way block a seem to be build in the middle of block b ? So the view will be block partially by block b i think, only the view that face butterworth not block…while block b may have a better view at the front

If u go see u will know what i mean

Anyone know what will be built at vertical line shaded building column?

BLOCK B IS TOWER B RIGHT?

block B is tower B , we use these 2 words interchangeably.

By the way, is there any confirmation on what is being built on the empty land behind PJD sales office ?

Yes, tower b…. The one that is build 30 storey one…. I wonder why tower a launch one year ago so slow but this so fast lol

Wellesley and ocean view most beautiful view d, woodsbury only tower b got 180 degree facing sea while all loft unit facing prai and Butterworth…

Tower a view facing sea block partially by tower b not as beautiful as in Wellesley

I know Bcz I owned both and can predict

I just can hope that everything is built as luxurious as per shown by the developer earlier! Fingers crossed!

More highrise are coming in that area.

May I know tower B facing swimming pool, izit possible can see the seaview?

@Tamagoqi

I think only those from 20th floor above and those below, not really. As the sea is at the far left. My 2 cents.

I feel that Tower A facing Prai has the best view. Can have the Georgetown nice view.

Tower A view to the sea and georgetown will be nice but only 90 degree viewing toward georgetown and gurney drive , the view to penang bridge and qb will be block by tower b unless go on top of the observation deck but also will block certain angle to penang bridge due to its lower level than tower B

Tower b facing pool and main road will be facing sunway carnival area butterworth view , might not able to view sea from the window of unit i guess

Somehow i feel woodsbury build structure not really gaining toward magnificient sea view but as an overall city mix water , plus the port view is not that nice at day but night is ok …

Its not andaman sea , its jv selat melaka lol , plus the water in front jetty is very short distance,for someone who wan sea feeling u won get the feeling of absolute natural as it is not along seashore but futher deep inside the road

More highrise coming include mrcb pg sentral , it is call btw metropolis for a reason not villa like batu ferringi

Hope that Woodsbury observation deck can be as nice as Sea View Tower!

How much is it selling now ? per sq ft ?

omg, i just bought a unit at tower B 750 sqft. 15 floor. Hopefully can see alil bit of sea.

@Tamagoqi
Don’t worry, u should able to. Anyway the residents can always spend some good time on the view deck on top, which is really relaxing. Based on my experience at Sea View Tower….

Anyone kena 2nd progressive d? How much interest u all pay?

Everything will still a ‘WET DREAM” if Penang Central never take place.

Even with the Penang Central, this area would just be another pasar tani.

Penang Transportation Master Plan is given green light and will be sent to SPAD for review and approval. http://www.theedgeproperty.com.my/content/penang-excos-approve-railway-highway-lines-transport-master-plan

This area will be a hotspot after 10 years after mrcb master plan complete and all commercial being developed and penang sentral fully completed

If you can wait then this area will be second georgetown after 10 years since penang island already fully taken by condo and affordable housing…bayan lepas reclamation somemore is industrial area

Tower B hitting 40th floor soon, but Tower A was like dog peeing? Lol

Anyone know whether the so call Hotel and Shopping Mall already under construction??

I was told there will be shopping mall and hotel around.

Woodsbury is holding the booth at shopping mall and selling the remaining units.

@WW
Max is 38 floors only. How come have hitting 40 floor??

Currently stay 5 unit per floor with 70 unit whole building bro , why jelly 1100 unit

Thank you so much. Joined, too. =)

Join the owner group as well, fb woodsbury suites

but this owner group seldom post the building status.

All, Woodsbury buyer, I just came back from the Sales office and felt I was either cheated or conned. I signed the S&P in 2014 and I was informed that there will be a shopping mall and will have sky link to the mall from Woodsbury. Also, there will be Swiss Inn be build there too. Now, today, I was informed by the Sales office that the PJD has merge with OSK or bought by OSK. OSK has changed the plan and scrapped the idea of the mall. No Swiss Inn hotel to be built as well. The land clearing that suppose to build shipping mall has now change to be cement factory, and eventually will be another condo. Hence, the further price that we have paid is no more valid and hence, is just another condo. We should get the justice from the developer. We did not sign on this type of transaction. I felt conned or cheated by PJD.

Hello Admin of this blog. We need justification for the change of plan, this will definitely spoilt the potential of this property. We want the original plan to be reinstated. I have filled up the feedback form in the sales office and have voiced my concern to the sales staff. I need your help to provide assistance here.

To backup my argument, I have photos of the original plan that have promised to me.

omg, really…..I bought this in 2015 and they said have a shopping mall too…..but i dunhv the original plan with me.

There is another suites similar to woodsbury by OSK. 2 towers, 32 and 32 level with 462 units and 7 retails. 500psf. No more mall and hotel. We really kena conned!

I’m their first condo owner. They just repeating what they did in the past. Last time they said “their old sales team over commit and they had fired them all”. OSK is there all the while, probably OSK was minor share holder. I don’t know. Anyway, they will still deliver your unit to you, no worry. The master plan thing, they has been consistently committing and changing even before that. Good luck! Remember, they still haven’t built their low cost house and any time can be next to your condo.

I wonder why there’s no update on Facebook. No more photos update.

As for the Habour Place master plan, we were conned inside out!

Proposed link bridge from WS to sales gallery had been cancelled. Its seems like WS building been isolated by the rest.

feel being cheated. this and that cancelled. but still have to pay installment every month.

Can anyone add me on the FB or Whatsapp group for the owner? Tower B owner here. I got a letter to start paying first progressive payment.

Why there’s no update on the faceboom at all? Hmmmmz.

I just to their office. They said they will update Harbour Place official facebook in 1 2 week’s time. Hope they dont kencing me lah. Tower B reaching top floor already, Tower A reaching 30 floors and above.

Can anyone find out where will be the low cost flat built at Harbour Place area.

Low cost flats in harbour place? Where did u get the info from?

What is meant was PJD / OSK has yet to build the low cost apartment.
Where will it be.

IS THAT WOODSBURY CHANGE NAME DY? ANYONE CAN ADVISE?

@Tamagoqi

Why and what is the reson for them to change? That’s not possible. It has been in the SnP what.

Anyone here get WS loan from citibank?

Who know what will be built at common area column of building with vertical louvre?

Woodsbury owners sms me at +6738928788 and I’ll add you in our what’s app group chat

To all potential buyers,

I am a Woods bury owner, for this particular project, so far few things have been cut compared to what have been promised and shown in the brochure.

Such as, shopping mall, cross bridge/linked bridge , LCD screen and etc .

Previous PJD owners also said many things such as the promised college,a five star hotel and few other things

You judge yourself buy at your own risk .

For the purchasers info, there wont be LCD screen on the front of woodsbury as promised. There is some other dissatisfactions. Join the owner group to discuss further. We may file tribunal to ministry of housing n local government putrajaya on the matter later for our owners interest.

May I know where can I join the owner group? Thanks.

Make sure you check your management account once the project completed. The account may potentially begin with negative few hundred K because they developer may save a few hundred K and charge the management offices and other equipments’ cost to resident.

Why that is so much complaint before get OC?
Really that bad ah?

Even their own staff also complaint their own senior manager???
I’m expect to get my house key by early next year…not to be like this lah???

the project not just complete ard 80% only? so fast can get the key? Where to join the group, im one of the buyer. Thanks.

Warmest greetings from us at OSK Property Holdings Berhad.

First and foremost, we wish to extend our sincere apologies for the late reply.

We shall take note on your proposal.

With respect, we wish to point out to you that the visual of the LED screen appearing on the marketing materials is an artist impression only of what the façade may look like, in the whole scheme of Woodsbury. It is not an actual representation of what the developer is contractually obliged to deliver.

We are pleased to inform you, that the said LED TV screen will be replaced with louvres in a mix of vibrant colours. This replacement was necessitated in view of the traffic hazard that will be posed by the bright flashing lights of a LED TV screen to drivers passing through the main road in front of Woodsbury.

You may have read or heard of recent complaints posed by similar but smaller installations of LED TV screen along posts on the roads. We are concerned that drivers (or even passing pedestrians) may be temporarily blinded by flashes from the bright lights and moving images.

The louvres will also ensure, that the eight(8) floors of carpark bays are camouflaged in an attractive manner. You would soon see that the louvres adds as an attractive facade wall for Woodsbury’s development. And there is the plus point of it requiring low maintenance to upkeep.

Your kind patience, while awaiting for the completion of the said louvres is much appreciated.

Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you require any further clarifications.

Thank you and regards,
Angel Goh
Customer Care.

Reply to OSK:
It sounds like excuse
(1) It is definitely facade change, not artistic impression.
(2) the LED screen is still distance away from road.
(3) they can switch off the LED at night
(4) please show owners the official letter MPSJ reject the LED board

Owners please join our whatsapp group or facebook page

1. Initially, PJD sales person convinced us the shop houses will be hold and not sold. They will rent out and control tenant quality.
But today, at the car park ballot, got to know it is sold.
2. The LED screen, they told us dangerous for cars, so they priority safety to public, will not have the LCD screen. Than why when sweet talk us to buy time did not prioritise buyer benefit?
3. Shopping mall Econsave, when i sign S&P in 2015, they told me Econsave only have few more years contract, i cannot remember exact years, and they plan to compensate and have a better mall, but today, i asked again, seems like no such plan….??
4. I asked about the cross bridge/linked bridge, they said those are only drawing, not in plan and tell me to logically look at the structure now , where to do the bridge? no place… make me feel so stupid for asking this question…but then again, if by looking at the structure built up right now I can tell got linked bridge or not, I would not have even look at your drawing years back since everything say or draw also will change by OSK…
5. 5 Star hotel… I think we will end up with 5 star homestay… staff say no announcement from top management yet… OMG..before sign S&P top management announce many things, after that, never announce anything…??
6. College at the empty land opposite Ocean View… NO MORE… so many years already.. now become car park… why not you just build a multi storey car park??? benefit us…the buyer who bought your words which was never actualised
7. The car park is by balloting and they claim fair ballot, but in actual fact, the sales person already call their priority buyers and told them to arrive sharp 10am and I do not know how, but those priority buyer eventually car park are at good floors. How I know? Well, I happen to be early and they thought I was also one of them, so they asked, which sales man called me and those who got pretty high floor looks very calm, when I approach them, they said someone will eventually settle eh, don’t worry.
I really wish to ask, OSK claim fair and transparent balloting, but is it true? And OSK claim their buyer complaint on allocation car park, and prefer balloting, IS THIS TRUE? OSK also claim no buyer complaint they do not want to ballot… well, if your priority buyer are happy, what else can we…the ordinary buyer do?

@Steve
I also felt cheated… and I will never buy OSK or PJD property anymore.

pity u guys, lucky first day soft launch I go eat only, 8%+3% rebate for early bird RM400 psf totally not worth, when ask about car park lot, once need ballot I direct wont cosider it, remember dont buy any cp ballot project or u will regret and sure gt high flr.

F bloxdly developer , sell cheaper pricing than buyer who buy two year ago ….make us buyer look like idiot buy early and pay interest for nothing

Go to helZ

@Alex
How much cheaper the developer offer now? which type?

@May
Now price rise d. I think he tried to say early 2016 vs late 2016 offered price coz osk/pjd management change time

Guys, bad news I see on Luminari by OSK forum here.
Can check today The Star news paper as Wellesley have issue with developer and they can’t give solutions on building.
Anyone here who stay Wellesley can share what happens on your building?

What is your lift issues?

I call OSK sales office but stuff can’t answer me on this and told the residents don’t know the laws and simply give complaints????

Anyone have any idea here?

Worry man.

Advise those interested in OSK property to read the comment from various websites also comment about OSK. Think twice before signup.

@Mike
Mikes, if you already signup Luminari, then whatelse you could do if the OSK is bad?? If not signup yet, congratulations!!!!

Hope someone who’s actually staying here to give their personal assessment /review of the place. This would greatly help potential buyers /sellers alike. Thanks.

Only this developer will reply: “On our goodwill” we ask our contractor to rectify the defect.
Laugh die me.

No star given to them.

@Lim
referring to what defects?

Stay inside few weeks. Both tower lifts stop operating twice (I mean all lifts). Really poor quality of lift from OSK.
Suspected water fall inside the lift area. Same problem as Wellesley?

Anyone can feedback if there is water flooded into Woodsbury especially the lift during last few days ?

OMG,
It is really so bad?
After go through all the comments, i might need to have 2nd thought before making the decision.
i just went to have a view at the unit yesterday.
The cement factory really will be build !!!

@Steve

@Esther

It’s already happened many times.

@Lim

Too bad. Better change the management company fast. A new management company can help to tackle all the problem. The JMB must be strong.

@LMK
How to join the group?
the link doesn’t works

May I know the water & electricity is charged on commercial or residential rate for Woodsbury?

@Esther
The new JMB formed but management company did not change. I wonder what makes them keep the same management company. Heard they change security and cleaning for cheaper price, so the management company same means it is cheapest in the market?

The security is very friendly and helpful. I purchase electrical appliance from one big shop, they send and do everything without kacau from security. The shop i buy from, when i pay and give address, they is happy to hear woodsbury. Easy to go in and work compare to other condo. Good job security! My renovation also no kacau. All complete. I think although cheaper security but better as dont kacau me.

@Ang
my contractor need to carry grill to 20 floor because big contractor lift down for weeks. the security so good let him in many times only find out lift tak boleh pakai. security also say tak tau ini management dan JMB buat apa. But security are new guy, just start in June so they feel sorry to me… this is very bad

hi, I have book the 750sf unit, but all my banker n valuer say cant get 100% from the snp price, 450k snp price only get 400k on market value, anyone facing this?

@anson
I am about to purchase a 750 sq ft on higher floor, not sure which bank will gv the exact 100% value as per s&p, but i heard Public and Affin can. Havent try yet but soon.

I am already staying here for more than few months, and its my worst experience staying in an apartment ever. Its not because the place is not nice, its very nice but its just because of their management. They handle everything in the worst, stupid, messy way possible. In short, they only care about the appearance of the the building. If you ever visit the place, you will know. I saw more than 10 to 15 workers for that. Even they clean the roads outside of the building. BECAUSE they want to show off the building for sales, but they don’t care even a little bit about the people who are already own the place or staying here, landlords or tenets no difference. One you buy, bye bye.
Its a shame when all the expenses bare by landlords. Really disappointed about the OSK. Conclusions, don’t buy or rent an apartment here, at least not with this management. Price is going to drop soon.

Hi all, anyone interested to let go? Please email me, foongkim@yahoo.com.

Also, is the lift and management issues resolved?

@anson

Hey u can apply with Affin Bank. The valuer Raine & Horne gives the exact value as per S&P. All the best.

Hi Woodsbury,

I am interested at Studio type, 1 room and 1 bathroom.
May i know how much is the price.
Please send the price to my mail box: tang.joanne99@gmail.com.

Recently developer is pushing the largest unit 1250 sq ft at 488k fully furnished which is very very cheap . but do take note that the monthly maintenance plus sinking is around RM 450 as at now . Not to mention this is commercial building , higher cukai pintu .

Recently , the developer is pushing the remaining units so desperately until using own money to fix the tiles at entrance even though the tile warranty period is already over. Legendary developer. Up to now , the shitty s@ny0 lift vendor problem and issue not resolved and the master strata title yet to received . Good luck if you want to buy this property .

If I had money , I will choose Luminari over Woodsbury . Why ? At least luminari already get the master title and the owners are busy getting the title transferred to themselves . Earlier projects like Woodsbury is like the abandoned child from OSK or called PJD last time . Now osk is quietly selling 453K only for the 1250 sq ft which translates to Rm 360 per square ft only , so cheap. Even those people who bought in 2013 (soft launch) was getting the cheapest price at Rm 420 per square ft . Think carefully .

Just received the cukai from MPSP for the 2021 , let me calculate for you if you have bought the 1250 or 2250 sq ft from the famous developer , how much you are paying for a month :

1250 sq ft
1) monthly maintenance : RM 450 per month , RM5400 per year . Even you pay cash for RM453K , you need to pay RM 450 every month until you die , your child inheriting also need to pay until he or she is dead . RM 450 monthly is subjected to review every year.
2) Cukai from MPSP
RM 70 per month . RM 70 per month is subjected to review every by the local council.

2250 sqft
1) monthly maintenance : RM 800 per month , RM 9600 per year . Even you pay cash for RM 883 K , you need to pay RM 800 every month until you die , your child inheriting also need to pay until he or she is dead . RM 800 monthly is subjected to review every year.

2) Cukai from MPSP
RM 112 per month . RM 112 per month is subjected to review every by the local council.

in short , if you have 1250 sqft , you need to pay RM 500 per month even if you dont have loan.
if you have 2250 sqft, you need to pat RM 950 per month even if you dont have loan.

Still want to buy from the developer for the remaining units ? wish you best of luck.

Not to mention you have the s@nyo lifts and the forever pending individual strata title

Hi guys!

i am planning to purchase, looking at this comment above. i abit pulling back on my decision.

what i can see here mostly are the high management fees that we need to be mindful and take in to consideration.

other than that, what else ……
