Tuan Residency VS Platinum Splendor

kiwiguy — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 22:34:30 +0800

I was looking at these 2 developments.
Both are 3 bedroom unit and priced below 500k.
I'm looking to stay in one of this unit for maybe 5 years then sell it. Which will have better resale value in the future?

Here's my comparison:

Pros Tuan
1. In middle of KL. Near to publika (10mins) , curve (15mins) , etc.
2. Freehold
3. Potential UOA development at Taman Bamboo. 7 mins away.
4. Low dense. Only 1 block.
5. 480psf

Cons Tuan
1. 20 units each floor
2. No close amenities. Lifestyle?
3. Only 1 car park
4. Nearest MRT Batu 10 minutes away by car. 1.2km
5. Easy exit to Jalan Kuching but have to make a long U-turn to access the other side.
6. surrounding area

Pros PV Semarak
1. Cheap entry price 400k. RM443psqft
2. Potential MRT Semarak
3. Two carparks
4. Got Balcony
5. Potential mall by MRCB
6. Potential renters. UTM students, working people KLCC, BB and TRX area. With MRT it could be higher. But target market would be middle class young working people.

Cons PV Semarak
1. Block B too close to Block C.
2. Leasehold 99 years expires 2114.
3. Not much lifestyle. Have to commute to Setiawangsa and other townships for lifestyle.
4. 28 units each floor. Very high dense. 2,000 units
5. Unit 10 facing north east and facing block C.
6. Close to

Whats your opinion? which one is better?

Hi, all. I'm looking for a 3 bedroom unit for own stay, preferably new project condo/ service residence in KL area. Size around 800sf is and price below 500k. With lrt/mrt in the area is an advantage.
Currently I found Tuan Residency, skysierra and M Vertica.
I would avoid jalan sentul pasar tho.
Can anyone help me on suggesting me some more options?

I was surveying for a condo/ service apartment which is walking distance to lrt and mrt. most of the units within my budget is 1 or 1+1 bedroom. Usually the price difference between this 2 sizes nett below 60k.
What do you guys think about the rental of these 2 type of unit? does the 1+1 can command higher rental? does any of you have experience about this.thanks.
