SP Setia: Launching RM4.7 billion GDV for 2016. Nice.
I would not say all developers are pessimistic because there’s one looking to launch RM4.7 billion gross development value worth of properties in 2016. This figure is for a total of 13 new launches. The developer is SP Setia Bhd and the projects include international ones such as the Melbourne-based low-rise apartments “Carnegie” (GDV of…

‘Old’ Kuchai. Bigger units and affordability?
KL property market continues to offer wide range of choices for buyers, especially with more people moving into KL for work. Let’s look at Kuchai Lama today. I have visited Kuchai Lama a few times. Once for a Toastmaster’s meeting. Once for lunch with a group of colleagues and twice to the NSK supermarket there.…

Good Coffee Day by Pantai Sentral Park. Interesting.
A few months ago, a marketing manager of a public listed developer asked my opinion about an event that she wanted to do. My advice was very simple, it should be something different instead of the usual. No doubt, inviting property experts to share on certain topics of interest are normally successful. How about trying…

Flat year and creative packages come together in 2016
It’s a fact. Property market Malaysia is slow in 2016. Both transactions value and quantity for 2015 dropped. Developers are working harder, getting more creative too. In a recent report in thesundaily, CH Williams Talhar & Wong Sdn Bhd managing director Foo Gee Jen said while some developers are delaying their launches, some are coming up with…

It has a small restaurant cum cafe right beside the supermarket which meant that after dinner, I could also do my grocery shopping. It’s little restaurant serves the same menu the whole…

LRT3 is moving along, RM9 billion and 26 stations
Many continue to believe that their property choices remain the same even with more LRT and MRT stations. Yes, there’s also the BRTs. Be reminded, buying undervalued for potential appreciation is a cheaper option compared to buying hotspots and selling it when it goes even higher. There’s also that ceiling price where the majority could…

Bangsar South? Reasons and choices
I was at Bangsar South’s Capri Hotel for breakfast the other day with a VIP. The cafe, Capricious was full of hotel guests and the VIP whom I was meeting told me that when he first started to stay in the hotel maybe about a year ago, this was not the case. There were not…

Ready for “The Peak of Luxury” at Chemara Hills, Seremban?
Before I start, I think I should ask this important question. How many of us believe that a well planned development featuring spacious homes within a pleasing and comfortable environment but is around 54 minutes away from KLCC is better than a boutique and modern development of smaller units but is closer at just 30-45…

An attractive ‘home sweet home’ a family should consider
I think majority of kopiandproperty.my readers would have already read about my personal opinions when it comes to distance, duration and favourite areas. All of these require balancing between wants, needs and value. In other words, prioritization. With my small family, I look forward to reaching home to a hug from my daughter and a…

Fewer launches, better deals or the other way around?
Are there fewer property launches in 2016 thus far? I personally do not think so. Maybe because I have been receiving Facebook postings, SMSes and even WhatsApp on a continuous basis. Only few years ago, I did not receive so many of such notifications. Okay, perhaps it’s because they are repeats? Well, according to the…

Do you think Rawang is considered accessible in terms of duration? Okay, if you really want to know, the distance is 25km away from KLCC,Jalan Ampang. Take alook at the google map image on the side. This brings us to SP Setia’s new 194-acre township in Rawang called Setia Eco Templer. Total gross development value…
