We are back in Cheras to check out the latest addition from this group. As usual, the facade definitely makes a big impact from afar and their design DNA still flows through the entire project especially the specific rooms like the lounge, the lobby and the halls. However, with similar approach comes similar problems. The maintenance part of all the fixtures and furniture will be the struggle for the residents in the future.
This project is located right next to the intersection between MRR2 and Jalan Cheras along the MRT track. With convenience, definitely it comes with congestion and tremendous noise as well. This particular site is also extremely challenging. It's narrow, it's tight but I'm happy to see the team made it through.
In this visit, at least I've concluded my findings after breaking down their design approach to all of their projects. Their strategy of resources allocation is very different but so far it's still working.

Thanks for the review. Few thoughts; 1) Akward accessibility; 2) Putting living space upper floor make sense because its probably where you wanna spend most of your time. 3) U really need to install a cooking hob, 4) Main difference between the two bathrooms are;one has shower, the other dont 5) developer intended the living space to be downstairs; bad idea 6) invest on a ladder; so you can reach db box 7)if fully use aircond, tnb charge gonna be a nightmare

[@djthen92]

My living space is at the loft area too, very spacious and all my guests love it. One bathroom and one powder room is necessary la unless you’re staying alone. One thing I must share is the view with firework is spectacular because there are a lot of landed houses haha 😍

[@iherng]

Ooowh… thanks for sharing!!

[@victorwoon6720]

Thanks for review this building ! The MRT and entire KL roadmap is quite convenient

[@kennethk7637]

I always saw this building and always find the design quite interesting lol Now i know what this is. Thanks Iherg for the review always

[@RayMak]

The building looks quite fun inside

[@kimir7445]

Interesting looks of luxury suite in a green mature landscape and busy areas despite very close to the railway and main road.❤ 34:12

[@wayneyu5980]

This duplex layout is so weird. Normally upstairs will be a bedroom not a living room 😂. Also, Corridor upstairs leading to no where 😅. Like this project, their newer projects are now built on small pocket land which was also an abandoned toll land..This developer is known for their substandard materials and poor maintenance based on their past projects. Wonder how would it look like in a year’s time.

[@daddyraffles7083]

Finally 😘 Thank you iherng

[@iherng]

Thanks for watching:)

[@rexchua8545]

wait til nighttimwe you'll see the whole building facade lit up with LED transition effects🙂

[@sazmanmusic]

Yeah, residents have no way to enjoy them though.

[@lokaskarak3442]

Nice new decoration but it will costly for maintaining

[@stavinwong6442]

if from my perception, i would rather to extend the upper floor space , especially to extend the floor in order to slot in dinning table over there rather than lower floor, since the living hall was designed at upstair. the reason to kept one of the bathroom 2 way door connected which mainly because that bathroom is the only shower system existence

[@nickloong]

The layout is really weird and tight. I think it's meant to be one of those properties for Airbnb and room to let purpose. The orientation of the unit is not very conducive for family use. Lol!😅

[@iherng]

This is clearly not for family building lah hahahaha. Thanks for watching Nick;)

[@chanmunfei7986]

Luckily the road where the entrance is located isnt too jammed during peak hours. If you come from MRR2 then youll be fine, but if you come from Jalan Cheras, you will have to take a turn into Taman Midah and go thru Lotus and then reach your entrance. Overall the project looks very extravagant, always pass by this building when going to work

[@nkwing79]

I like your word, if you got extra budget for your dream design & renovation 😂 Anyway, although it is near to MRT & good for transport to KL city, but it gonna be nightmare during the morning peak hours (those who take MRT on this line should know what i'm saying)

[@iherng]

Yea. Congestion for train taking is also a thing that is often neglected.

[@nkwing79]

@@iherng ya, actually it is quite convenience to reach KL by car if working there. I got friend stay this area too & transport by own car

[@oraza66]

Seen a video a while ago the different developer the upper levei of duplex has a door for exit in case of emergency ...yes the additional downstair bathroom maybe be placed at upper level I guess

[@iherng]

That’s Eko Cheras duplex layout:) I think that’s more sensible actually.

[@jaredkeddy4358]

@iherng thanks so much for encouraging use of lrt/mrt in more recent videos. KLites need to take advantage of the great transit system we have! Keep up the good work!

[@iherng]

Yea. It’s soooo advanced now.

[@junxian4you]

Did you drop by The Connaught One showroom? Since it’s nearby😂 waiting for the review !!

[@moumou4]

this building suppose not to be exist, tmn midah is overloaded. we did protest with YB before it build but no used, the developer too powerful? this building really make the traffic worst in that area.

[@CashHuatheng888-me7uj]

Rasuah ma

[@illsed]

Yah mifah before arte already got many outsider. Now lagi many outsider.. Jam jam jam parking also make ppl angry

[@kennethtan6789]

Layout n design looking like taking inspiration from NY loft type layout. Especially when you see the ground floor tv, cable layout, where they set the couch/sofa under the stairs.

[@Kaipochama]

That super dark facade paint gonna contribute to extreme heat 🥵

[@danielgabriealjayarajan6844]

My friend stays there. Surprisingly it isn't as hot as many people think

[@united-yo4ns]

I closed all the window n on the fan I feel cosy

[@kenjidc2107]

Interestingly, the unit beside has the foyer tiles 'tied directly' to the tiles of the corridor.

[@iherng]

🤷🏻

[@krisssal]

can i get recommendation pla for a studio unit not sharing close to UOA Business Park? budget around 1300Rm. am torned between getting some place farther but cheaper unit or a close by but price is beyond budget. thanks for any help on this.

[@YoUJiAn2]

Its actually 4 mrt stations away from trx instead of 3, you skipped cochrane station🤭

[@fooyiling510]

Another piece of work done by the makeover guys. Would like to ask if there is any promo/referral code if I would find the makeover guys for my unit (to be handed over soon!)

[@iherng]

Use promo code: SEANTANMAKEOVER22

[@vincentlee83]

Isn't it normal for DB box to be unreachable at standing height? The reason for external access of master bathroom is due to the common one is just a powder room.

[@iherng]

No lah. It’s always within reachable height lah. Let’s say if the circuit tripped, how to reset it leh?

[@NickieSoh]

i wonder too isnt it normal? i have two units and both are not with reachable height though

[@nicholasbosco8811]

ID/Architect: how gaudy do you want the condo to be? Developer: yes

[@iherng]

Hahahahahahahahaha!!

[@harrythian456]

I am curious what happened to their Arte Mont Kiara and Ampang? Maybe iherng can go and see how it looks after a few years

[@gabillionaire]

MK one is shit. hahaha.

[@MK-dt9jm]

I cannot lah this one. The double height is reversed. It should be facing the window so you get the "wow" and airy feel. Now it feels trapped like inside a cage. Oi arkitek, macam mana ni.

[@iherng]

Right? That’s why I tried so long to figure out why haha:)

[@CashHuatheng888-me7uj]

I salah satu owner di arte cheras,nk keluar memang masalah,kereta parking di luar

[@iherng]

Thanks for sharing. I ternampak banyak kereta disaman, tetapi masih banyak yg illegal parking ;(

[@CashHuatheng888-me7uj]

[@iherng]

hahahahahahaaha. Thanks for watching Shaqi ;)

[@butt0nmasher]

I've extended the top floor, but havent figured out what to do with the extended space yet heehee

[@iherng]

Owh nice!! Your living room upstairs or downstairs?

[@butt0nmasher]

@@iherng living room upstairs along with working area.

[@avaxis]

The layout is really weird. The 2nd room and 2nd bathroom is really small and doesn’t seem to have a shower space. Renovating is a really costly affair and the cost of buying + renovating opens up to many other options. That being said I think it can be very compelling for short stay play. And that R floor to stop before you can go up to your tower feels like sky lobby in hotels. I don’t mind doing it as a tourist, but I don’t want to take 2 lifts to my unit everyday.

[@udjch28e62hrz7n]

This project is causing heavy jam at roundabout

[@kengcheahou2979]

Hi pls review Astrum Ampang

[@bisnesnln30]

Yes i bought astrum ampang

[@Rakshit-thakur]

Arte - made for Airbnb. This should be there tagline.

Can you do a review on Riana Trees (showroom) by IJM?

Let me try to call my friends haha;)

[@alantan3306]

LV inspired monogram facade. Very loud indeed 😅

Ppl called the Emoji Tower

[@iherng]

Owh really?? what a cool name;)

[@alvinsoong123]

I wondering how the units with the external facade decoration covered will look like.. hmm..

[@iherng]

I wondered too. Can only guesstimate now haha:)

[@janetlim]

Still can see outside with the brightness drop around 30%? Like what you see at the backside of car when you pull out the sunblock sheet.

[@alvinsoong123]

​@janetlim wowww interesting! But still hope for the real photos of those units

[@steventan5618]

You missed Cochrane Station😂

[@iherng]

Oh yea hahahaha!!

[@KyeTay]

Guess the reason why people buy this property is the convenience of location. And a place to stay lol. Probably just enough for couples. The wardrobe at “master bedroom” looks kinda sad tho. Hopefully this arte cheras won’t end up being like the poorly managed arte mont kiara.

[@iherng]

Well I learnt that everyone has their own preferences and reasoning when they buy property. I do hope the same too regarding the maintenance part:) Thanks for watching.

[@MrOnlyforcommenting92]

cool living place IF i only stay alone lol

[@iherng]

Yea, it’s a very cool bachelor pad:) Thanks for watching!!

[@ylihao]

13:01 The smaller bathroom doesn't have a shower area leh, more like a powder room, if no door to the other bathroom the other occupants will have to go thru the master bedroom to shower 🤣

[@iherng]

That’s where I don’t understand hahaha. Most probably they had a version of interior design that they followed through. Thanks for watching man:)

[@janetlim]

You are right. I need to spend rm300 to add shower area for powder room.

[@yongchuankoh9504]

[@janetlim]

Btw, the price mentioned is SPA price. Developer give 16% discount.

[@iherng]

Nope. The price I saw is subsale price in property portals:) Appreciate the clarifications!

[@jylaw9495]

which mean the owner is selling their units at spa price hoping for little profits

[@janetlim]

@@iherng Oh, noted. I was confused because my purchase price was lower haha.

[@TravAlligator]

@@janetlim What was your purchase price here and for which type of unit in sqft?

[@janetlim]

@@TravAlligator 868sqft at rm470k. But mine is much expensive because I bought right before key handling. Early owner get much cheaper price.

[@hoongpiowhow5943]

pity for the owners who bought here..weird architecture design in interior

[@iherng]

It’s okay if they made informed decisions. The returns are also not bad actually.

[@jeffreyng1259]

Weird property. Beside the flyover, 24 hrs noise

[@iherng]

This piece of land is really challenging to develop.

[@Fongtology]

Second

[@michaelbyz23]

Mixed feelings. Hmm.

[@iherng]

Hahahahaha!! Thanks for watching!!

[@Vectorrry]

13:00 Why? Likely because that is just a Powder Room, it has got no shower in it. Hence the Bathroom will need to be shared. 🤣

[@AjLuvU]

So many people make it as airbnb. Dont feel safe at all. this is why I hate commercial property. Went there once to a friend house. So many level or security and lift exchanged just to get into a house. On weekend, like Sardine. I'm blessed I don't buy this property 😂

[@xiaozhou4610]

Do u interested to visit emerald 9 again? Haha

[@tommychan8910]

I thought usually loft layout will have atleast 7.ft of big windows so you will feel much more space and better sunlight, but this layout ...hymm really questionable.. a lot of unnecessary layout design which is not practical makes the whole package looks so oppressed.

[@rawrr3396]

first!

[@iherng]

Appreciate it!!

[@TianWee]

Lol, very peacock as usual for Arte

[@iherng]

Yupe.

[@jialatdotcomdotsg4998]

Single bedroom facing the entrance door. Wtf man

[@MrPoppyplants]

Blows my mind why people still dare to spend their money on Arte projects.. I mean just look at their past projects! Also GG when there’s a fire, short people can’t reach hose reel. GG when a fuse blows at night, can’t reach DB box in the dark 😂

[@jt7528]

Exactly!

[@david_lifeandgames]

More suitable for rental. Not suitable for family. The hall and stair makes it so awkward.

[@gabillionaire]

haha can tell you’re trying really hard to find good points about this place. Run far far when you see Arte projects. The theme rooms are such a joke. This is not avant-garde, this is just plain bullshit polluting the skyline of cheras.

[@ivangooi2732]

2.3m ceiling heights?…dats claustrophobic for tall people living in dis strange horrible layout of a unit lol😅

[@daveb3987]

That has to be the worst design for a condo I’ve ever seen.

[@saeidk736]

horrible layout

[@iherng]

It’s not that bad lah.

[@Ckzz27]

Very important questions, please help if anyone knows - Who/Which departments actually have the power to refrain all those illegal parking along the road before&surrounding the building? I think this happens to alot high rise apparently and it seems so difficult to take action on it completely? Any sifus knows?🥲

[@Shoh1128]

1. Make report to the local council like DBKL, MBPJ, MPAJ etc. 2. Make police report 3. (This is something that I see, but please don't try this) there is a condo nearby one of the SUKE entrance, before the construction, a lot of cars were parking illegally on the main road outside the condo. one day, all the illegal parked cars were heavily damaged, the car body got extra paintings, windows broken, door broken etc. Ever since then, no more illegal parked car dy.
