Seems to be on the very edge of PJ Section 17.

Is this a new launch? Does anyone know about the pricing and other details? Any thoughts?

"Terrace in the sky" concept condo

I start to see this "terrace in the sky" concept popping up in some condo projects, where your car parks are in the same level as your condo unit, so you don't have to take the lift at all unless you want to go to other floors, e.g. when the facilities or mailboxes are in other floors.

I wonder if anyone has experience staying in a unit like this? Is there any pros and cons that people might not notice? Because on paper it sounds like a good concept, maybe the con is like, it's usually low floors? Will the lobby or corridor smell like car park? Noise from the parking? Would appreciate if you could share your experience, thanks!

Cheaper or bigger unit of the same project?

Hi sifus, need your opinions to decide on two units of the same project or wait for the newer phase to launch, the purpose is to own stay but I'm not sure if I want to to take exit strategy into consideration.

Option A: 1200 sqft
- similar layout to 1400 sqft unit.
- north facing outside the project, almost top floor.
- about RM 2700 instalment + RM 400 maintenance.

Option B: 1400 sqft
- similar layout with 1200 sqft unit.
- south facing the facility but not facing any other block, middle floor.
- about RM 3000 instalment + RM 500 maintenance.
- comes with about 100 sqft storage room at car park level, without electricity.

Option C: wait for newer phase launch
- layout unknown, but about 1100-1300 sqft.
- about 5% higher per sqft compared to Option A & B.

They all have 3 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms. So, putting the project itself aside, do you any opinions or suggestions? Would you pay about RM 400 more each month to have a 200 sqft bigger unit + extra storage at car park level? Thanks in advance!
