Went to view the Kota Harmoni show house in seksyen 27, shah alam this evening, impressive with the build out of the SD, is over 4500 sf with the price around 850k onward, come with gg and a club house, no 5/95 but will give 10% early bird discount.
Only concern is the location, surrounded by low cost flat, near by a transmission tower, mosque and industrial area. Wonder it worth the price at that location. Not a well know developer (to me). U can vist www.mct.com.my for detail. How you all view this project, is very low dense, slightky above 100 units only, all are SD and few bunglow. |

40x90 SMD, large bu, full specs incl solar water heater! Plus G&G w/CCTV.
If 10% discount from 850K, even leasehold looks attractive!!
But I have no idea of the location and the developer...?
From your description, possibly significant air and noise pollution there? |

Yup, that area full of industries, low cost flats mostly occupied by factory workers.
Surroundings might not too conducive but if you decide to stay within the G&G area and not come out a lot, still ok i guess 
I'm surprise the area is leasehold, those low cost flats, namely around Taman Bunga Negara are freehold though.

Not sure about the air and noise pollution, as not familiar with that location. Access wise not too bad as is only around 3 km to the elite toll at USJ and directly link to the LDP to Puchong. This actually is a freehold property, other than the 10% early bird discount, the developer will absorb the legal fees of the S&P and loan agreement.
The 850K is after the 13% discount as the back are facing the low cost flat, others will be around 950K after 10% discount.
As mentioned early, only concern with the developer reputation (need to pay for the loan interest during construction) and the location, as the price is actually attractive to me with that kind of concept and build up....... |

probably the traffic jam will deter many potential buyers as well.
seriously, for me, i would give this a skip. Why build something nice in such a surroundings?
Been there many times coz I used to own a low cost flat there.

Too bad, i actually feel the same, why build such a nice house in such location. But again, price will be sky high if the surrounding is good.  |

Freehold 850K is defintely a good price without considering the rest.
Too close to the factories is a major concern.
Why they build something like this there? Reminds me of Aman Perdana bungalows/smds... |

Must keep track of coming G&G "high" end DSL/superlinks in the 500-700K range.

This will consist of superlinks (indicative price RM 400k+), semi-ds 36x80 (ind. price RM600k+) and bungalows. Launching will be early next year and many people register their names already for soft launch. |
G&G superlinks 400K+ hard to find...

Otherwise, look at new Kemuning Jaya. To launch soon.

This one is interesting in that it has G&G 24x75 2.5s - a good sized house.
Both may not appear to be in the best of locations at first glance, but like I said, many people die-die want to upgrade in old familiar area. :geek |

sorry summer, I have no knowledge of Kota Harmoni.
my only reservation is this project is mainly targetting at malay/bumi buyers, judging from their naming and website promotion. In general (i am generalising here), project such as this seldom a star performer. Another similar one is Restree in USJ17. Although location wise, Restree is a lot better, but almost double the price.
There is another project by Lum Chung. I hardly see anyone talk abt it. The units were sold well, but move in rate was extremely slow. don't know how it is now.
I however copy and paste below info from another piger - food for thought. Hope other can assist you further.
MCT (OneCity in USJ25) just launched their Kota Harmoni in Shah Alam Section 27. Only 105 units of SMD and Bungalow. Starting from 980K! Early bird discount 13%!! Sold over 65% over the weekend! Neighboring Telekom tower and TNB 33/11KV substation! Think the main selling point to entice SJ/USJ upgrader is the gated community. They are providing 10 points of perimeter CCTV monitoring. BU from 4300sqft 2.5-storey. Most are 42’ wide, giving 12-14’ of garden strip. Furnishing is very upmarket. They provide uPVC for all its window frame and 12’ ceiling height. They are looking at RM 100 and RM 130 of security fees for SMD and Bungalow respectively. I really doubt this is maintain-able. Should be minimum RM 250 per unit looking at the total units. |
I visited the Kota Harmoni show house last weekend and am not surprised that 65% booked already - there were so many people at the show house and mostly Chinese, even though Linus mentioned that the project is targeted at Malays/bumis. I was told that the early bird discount (10%) was only valid until 31/8/09 and prices for the 2.5 storey semi-d units after discount range from 840K to 860K for the 4 models they have. G&G community with gateless concept like Setia Ecopark but each house separated from neighbour with brick wall. Size range from 40'x85' to 42'x90' with builtup around 4300 sqft.
For me, + points :
1. G&G with monthly maintenance RM100 quite reasonable.
2. Clubhouse with swimming pool, gym and sports facilities
3. Big build up with 5+1 rooms with 7 bathrooms.
4. Nice and quiet surroundings with shops nearby.
5. For Muslims, got mosque in the vicinity.
6. Price reasonable for semi-d compared to nearby developments eg Restrees (USJ17 +/- RM 1.6 mil G&G) or Putra Heights (2.5 storey 0-lot bungalows +/- RM1.4 mil,notG&G)
7. Freehold
- points :
1. Access to S 27 Shah Alam can be congested as many factories surround it.
2. House constructed using cement sand bricks not clay bricks.
3. Presence of Telecoms tower and big TNB substation at 2 ends of the area.
Overall, I think it is a good buy, especially for those own-stayers with big families and those wanting to upgrade to semi-d in G&G environment. For investors, not sure but if compare to nearby developments, maybe can make it for quick flip in 2 years' time?
For info, in last weeks Star Classified, Restrees semi-d asking for RM 2 mil.... |

this one is to look out for.
the developer is basically not taking any risk, but rather go for the success formulae....2.5 storey, std links, "super" links, LSMD, bungalows, throw in club house, lake view. Will be popular.
BUT judging from the rather depressing secondary market performance of Kemuning Utama, am not sure if the location of Kemuning has anything to do with it.
Also, this is a mixed developments with shop houses and perhaps small warehouse factories which they didn't highlight it in website. |

I was just read somewhere that high % of bookees are malays. BUT I can't back it up with fact. So ignore my insertion as of now. 
just for the BU and pricing, it's attractive enuf for own stay, if you dun mind the factory ambience.
By the way, Restree is only a bogus SMD. The footprint is 24' only (with 10' garden strip), and your rear is backing directly to your back neigbour, sort of like linked, but without roofing. 2mil is a daylight robbery

how do you find the show house? worth it or not for <900k? for the sheer BU, quality furnishing and GG concept, I think it's VALUE FOR MONEY. Don't know can make money or not because this part of Hicom industrial area is not known to have good cap. appreciative properties.
Also, from the floor plan.....they have many small and narrow windows right?
I will try Kemuning Jaya or Glades by SIME. safer option.

This is my concern too...
Overall, KK does not command the popularity it did during its heydays. Moreover, this KJaya dev is quite deep inside. Is there an alternative route in and out of Kesas?
But, IF 24x75 2.5s 3000 sqft BU, G&G, good specs priced at around 500K say... that will be interesting. |

Baharin, were you paying more attention on the cars or show units |
Thanks Baharin for the +ve points, as i finally confirmed my booking.
I was staying in BK before moving into the G&G link behind Tesco (Mutiara Puchong). Enjoying the G&G living, especially interm of safety for the family as need to travel oustation quite intensively. Been looking into upgrading to a bigger house with the growing kids and concern of lease hold status in my current place. Like lake edge a lot but got to give it a pass as it is a lease hold too. Overall, give BK and Bandar Kinrara a pass too due to the high pricing, less build up area and most importantly, no G&G.
Visited the show house three times before confirming the booking. Think it is impossible to get the 4700+ve build up with 960K, free hold, G&G and full specs SMDs in surrounding area any more. And it is just a 8km away from my current place.
About the purchaser, I believe is mainly chinese as seen in the people visiting the show house, and a check with the sales rep also confirming less than 5 units taken by malays. [/list][/quote] |

Summer,
Congrats! Although I have yet to visit the place, the info availble here so far tells me it is overall a good buy. More so for own stay. Enjoy! 
What other SMDs did you check out before deciding? |

Hope it is a right deccision 
Been actively looking at the corner link and SMDs at Bandar Kinrara and Bandar Puteri sub sales, even place an order for Super link in BK, i.e an end unit with 2400+ve bU (26x65), 15 ft extra land (Melodi, phase 2 at 650k). Pass it mainly due to no G&G. Attracted to the new SMDs in Puchong Jaya hill top but doesn't want to wait as the indicative price is more than 2m, too expensive for me. After all, plan to move in the new place after two or three years only as the kids still studying in puchong area. |

Hi Summer,
Congrats on your purchase..I personally think its a good buy due to the criteria you pointed out ie for your own stay, near to your workplace, security for your family. You can't go wrong here 
Nearby there is also a G&G community named Laman Seri, developed by Lum Chang and Vped last year I think. Just checked the prices of the 2 storey semi-ds there - subsale price now around RM900K for 3400 sf builtup area with land area 5600 sf. Say land cost for Sec 27 is RM60 psf freehold (just estimate-in Sec 26 freehold land going for this price).So, for Laman Seri semi-d:
Land cost=5600sfxRM60=RM336,000
Building cost=(RM900,000-RM336,000)/3400=RM166psf
Using this figure for Kota Harmoni (land area 42'x90'=3780sf and builtup area 4300sf), :
Land cost=3780sfxRM60=RM226,800
Building cost=4300sfxRM166psf=RM713,800
So,total house price now should be=RM226,800+RM713,900=RM940,600
But buyers are now buying at around RM840K to RM850K, so isn't this a very good buy? ie discounted RM100K from present value. Say, when ready in 2 year's time, value goes up by 15%(conservative estimate), value then will be RM940K x 115%=RM1.08mil.
If flip then, gross gain could be =RM1.08mil-RM850K=RM230K or around 27%.
Called up MCT yesterday, was informed that majority buyers are Chinese rather than Malays/bumi with ratio around 60:40 and that for Phase 1, only 11 units semi-d left (anybody know what % is this?)
This one, more +ve points than -ve points...some say near factories but the nearest one about > 1 km away that also clean factories - mainly electronics, so no pollution problem. Traffic congestion maybe but then again, this is a global problem and one can adjust to it.
Aiyaa.....sadly I got no more bullets to buy....  |

Hi baharin,
Personally, would you go for the 2.5 storey 4300 sf at 850k or the 3 storey 4800 sf at 950k?
If I have not mistaken, I have read that you have just disposed of some properties, so why no bullets? Joking ah?  |

Hi grease,
Personally I'd go for the 2.5 storey 4300 sf because :
1. Lower entry cost - 100k cheaper
2. No. of rooms still the same - 5+1 , difference being that 2.5 storey got 1 room on top floor and 1 room on ground floor; 3 storey got 2 rooms on top floor but no room on ground floor .
3. Prefer room on ground floor because I'm getting too old to go up & down the stairs.
4. Probably easier to flip because lower entry cost so can qoute cheaper price than the 3 storey ones.
5. I don't know but to me, 2.5 is still 3 storeys only that it has 1 room less on the top floor.
Ya lah I did dispose some properties but I need the bullets to shoot at the biggie...the bungalow I just booked in Ambang Botanic...not joking man that one will eat up all my bullets |

Thanks for comments on Harmoni. I agree with your views.
Is this Ambang Botanic a new launch too? Anymore units? Any website where I can get some more info like bu and price?
You are buying this AB for own stay right?
Thanks |

Been actively looking at the corner link and SMDs at Bandar Kinrara and Bandar Puteri sub sales, even place an order for Super link in BK, i.e an end unit with 2400+ve bU (26x65), 15 ft extra land (Melodi, phase 2 at 650k). Pass it mainly due to no G&G. Attracted to the new SMDs in Puchong Jaya hill top but doesn't want to wait as the indicative price is more than 2m, too expensive for me. After all, plan to move in the new place after two or three years only as the kids still studying in puchong area. |
Thanks, Summer.
This unit you bought - did it come with any package like 5/95, free MOT, club membership, etc.? |

Thanks for comments on Harmoni. I agree with your views.
Is this Ambang Botanic a new launch too? Anymore units? Any website where I can get some more info like bu and price?
You are buying this AB for own stay right?
Thanks |
Ambang Botanic is the G&G enclave within Bandar Botanic, Klang. It consists of superlinks(26'x75'), semi-ds , bungalows and bungalow land and was launched long time ago around 2004 or 2005. Most of it has been developed and the bungalow I booked is the last remaining phase there. There are 33 units of these bungalows (Spring Waterpark bungalows) and I believe all have been booked. The SPA scheduled to be signed this month.
You can visit the Bandar Botanic website at http://www.bandarbotanic.com.my and get further info there. Better still, call their sales office to enquire because I notice that Gamuda Land does not aggressively advertise their products in the media. Even their website was just updated last month, before that it was givng outdated info.
Yes, the AB bungalow is my ultimate I suppose and planning for my own stay there. Its close to my office (7 km) , G&G, no traffic congestion to/from office, no tolls, got clubhouse with good facilities, beautiful landscape within AB. In other word, ideal for me. |

Summer,
Congrats! Although I have yet to visit the place, the info availble here so far tells me it is overall a good buy. More so for own stay. Enjoy!

This unit you bought - did it come with any package like 5/95, free MOT, club membership, etc.? |
Rooster, there is no 5/95, but given 10% rebate to offset the down payment, club house is inclusive in the G&G community. Only pay 25k as booking fees and this amount will be deducted in the progressive claim. All legal fees for loan and Snp will be paid by the developer. Not sure about MOT, ya la this one must check with the developer rep soon. Update you once i know it.
At this momont, receive two quote from the bank, RHB offering BLR-2.4%, Ambank offering 0% for 1st 15 monthns and BLR-2.3% thereafter.
That one i bought (type B) also c/w a guess room on ground floor, all have 6+1 rooms and 7 bathrooms. The show house is of Type A which do not have a guess room on ground floor.
It is on strata titile, so the period to complete will be 36months from s&P compare to the 24 months for individual title. Anyway i believe if the responce is good, should not have problem completing in 24 months, hence the Ambank offer seem to be attracive (almost without interest
during construction period). |

Spoken to the sales, unfortunately the MOT is not cover by developer. Good news is all non bumi unit almost sold, they are opening the sales for bumi only at this moment. Pricing wise also increase by another 20+k at this moment for the remaining units. They actually hold back two rows at the center in the last two weeks, and opening half of the units for bumi now. Those non bumi can check with their office on when they want to open for sales if interested. Frankly, i would consider these final two rows (about 30 units) as premium location as it it located at the center of the development, need not to worry about fronting low cost, telekon transmission tower or TNB sub station, all north and south oriented also.
Total units for this developement is only 105 units, i.e 90 units SMDs and 15 units banglows. |
