PROPERTY REVIEW

[@Alex-s5p1j]

I have a serious doubt on this project in term of value appreciation 1. Surrounded by narrow road which gonna make congestion worst 2. Crazy amount of density Majestic maxim 2000 The annex + old flats 1000 The upcoming connaught one 1000+ (phase 1&2) Aster residence ( which also promoting mrt as selling point) ~1000 3. Stigma of the nearby dead mall 4. Weird unit layout 5. Price per sqf on the mid to high side.

[@robinjh982]

maxim sold out within weeks ya .. u noe the demand in this area rite XD

[@junxian4you]

Weird layout?? What kind of layout you expect.. the only new layout is the 2 rooms type.. others 3rooms type layout consider conventional and very nice

[@leekenboon5452]

​@robinjh982 I visited CO before, but I notice although right next to MM, both access road are very different though hmm what do you think?

[@Alex-s5p1j]

Just like someone has pointed out in the comments which i agree. The purpose of this developer is to squeeze more profit out of this area and I wish any potential buyer really do extensive research before buying. Dont buy with wrong intention.

@@chuan3675 The fact that this is a paid review, and you shouldn’t expect Sean to review Aster, as it’s a direct competitor to CO. Especially considering that Aster has outperformed CO in many aspects, at least on the paper. If I were the owner, I wouldn’t want Sean reviewing my building when he’s being paid by the competitor right across from it.

[@avaxis]

How to know it is a paid review? Didn’t see Sean disclose it.

[@mobilelegendslab29]

Extremely high-density, the first phase alone featuring over 1,300 units on just 3.4 acres, not mentioning the second phase. This development even has a higher density than the well known M Vertica.

[@junxian4you]

Look at Sunway Velloycity 3 where they offered 1600 unit with 3.4 acres land as well

[@mobilelegendslab29]

@@junxian4you Sunway brings in a whole township, including a mall, medical center, and offices, adding value to the area. On the other hand, Connaught One seems more like a hit-and-run project with extremely high-density residential units but with minimal to no added value to the surroundings.

[@bla5233]

@@mobilelegendslab29 UEM just squeezing profits with the ready mature amenities. Heard the development cost for connaught one is lower than other of their projects from lowyat. Guess they will just run and never look back once Connaught One is done 😂

[@junxian4you]

@ Meanwhile Sunway price them 580k, 2rooms unit compare to CO1 420k 2 rooms unit. That’s how Sunway makes you feel premium huh..

[@mobilelegendslab29]

@@junxian4you I didn't come out any words with 'premium' ya. The perception of ‘premium’ is not defined by me, but it’s shaped by the public (including you) and their view of the brand’s value and offerings. The sentiment isn’t just one person’s word but it’s always backed by facts, whereas Connaught One just isn’t focusing on that aspect in the same way bro..

[@thamwaikit7482]

can you do KL 48 review please. Last time i am comparing this 2 condo, would like to hear what your insight between this 2.

[@thewolfofswingthat2035]

there is going to be phase 2????? --__--- its already 1300 units right now 1300 x2 = 2600

[@wenhuichung3976]

Once the phase two started to develop (which I believe won’t take too long) then it will be even higher density than the Majestic Maxim that’s opposite the road which has 2000 units in total, not to mention MM has their own supermarket, foodcourt, mamak, clinic, cafe and convenience store which doing quite well and busy too. But this is the nearest project to the MRT station, just hope that the shop lots downstairs can do well like the MM does.

[@junxian4you]

Luckily Both projects not sharing same roads access.. CO1 nearest to mrt and also walkable to MM food court.. win win

[@crazyhellfirez]

before this it was plaza phoenix which is dead and then rebrand into cheras sentral mall which also now dead already. even nearby mall which is eko cheras mall also it's like cowboy town already. the only alternatives are leisure mall (old mall) and memi zoo zoo grocer which is 24hour! you guys should visit. traffic? it's cheras, the worst traffic in malaysia. midvalley to connaught (10km) during peak hour took 1hour - 2hour. crazy.

[@robinjh982]

@@junxian4you i tried b4 from mcdonalds to midvalley carpark . 7mins . Speed 100 kmph . If no jam

[@chanmunfei7986]

People always see that part of the highway to say jam in Cheras but that road is jam cause of it branching to other major areas like Alam Damai, Sri Permaisuri, Taman Desa which is why that road is so jammed up. The major bottleneck is when you reach Midvalley then it splits, 1 lane to Midvalley and 2 lanes to Federal and SPRINT. These are major artery, and for now seems no alternative if drive. So if you work at Midvalley, I recommend just taking the MRT since it's much more convenient and saves you the time from jam.

[@yukfookcheng7087]

Bamboo hills review coming soon? Another great TOD project

[@avaxis]

Freehold, almost direct TOD, mature Cheras address, top developer with relatively affordable price, definitely solid. If the commercials opposite can do better, and the mall revives, then this becomes a sure buy. But this layout is too forward thinking for me, prefer the traditional 3R2B ones.

[@iherng]

Thanks for sharing Avaxis. I thought so about the layout too.

[@JasonHo-u2d]

they have different type of layout. if 3R2B will be 960 sqft and 1000sqft, bigger size

If you like the famous 2km Taman Connaught pasar malam every Wed, it’s a good location to stay. It’s also about 2km from the site.

[@alvinsoong123]

Yeah, but don't think 2km its a walkable distance, still need to hassle for parking.

[@chanmunfei7986]

This is too far from Pasar Malam, you almost can't walk there cause there's a huge highway in between. You either take the bus or drive there. This is convenient if you wanna use the MRT.

[@tg988]

@@chanmunfei7986 On Wed evening, if you see people walking along the highway next to Cheras Plaza Sentral below the MRT station, that’s the lorong tikus to the night market.

[@christophercheu8169]

Can you make a video on Radium Adesa?

[@5647014]

The Cheras central Mall is a dead mall. They shd consider converting it to an apartment block because its just beside the MRT station

[@leekenboon5452]

According to earlier information shared by others, most of the mall unit was sold out to individual owner, which makes it extremely hard even with a new management as they cannot control the tenant quality and whatnot unfortunately. Even with a new developer, they will need to nego with EVERY SINGLE owner 1-by-1 and this process I think is very costly and time consuming, would they do that? One can only hope...

[@wongsihao8693]

hmm... The dead mall and the low cost is rly an eye sore. Investment wise i think it's still okish because it can leverage on the mrt station. Besides that its a very normal project with nothing particularly special. The layout is very niche as well and hard for the public to accept?

[@raymondchan4062]

Saw a lot of comments talking about high density， narrow road, dead mall. I doubt those people invest in any condo before... Investment usually consider on 2 directions: rental yield and capital appreciation. I believe none of them really go and check RZ residences and M vertical rental yield now... And the selling price per square feet at this area... Dead mall because less of residents around this area. 1300 unit means how many resident will increase in surrounding ? Traffic is an issue. But you have mrt infront. Why you need to drive ? Are you look at the wrong project?😅

[@Alex-s5p1j]

go Mxhsxxg showroom ask still got how many unit left & bulk purchase group still got a lot of unit remained unsold then you will understand .

@AlexVeyron123 do you think I never go visit mah sing property or in your case, I believe you are talking about M vertical Developer unsold unit? rental yield return rate as what you try to say? Is that relevant? I hope you are at least a property invester and show some example which is the best condo you think is good.
