Analysis

Nadia Parkhomes is developed by Perdana ParkCity, a subsidiary of Sarawak-based timber company, Samling Group. The group bought the 473-acre of the part-quarry part-rubber land for RM200 millions which is less than RM10 psf, back then in 1999.

Most buyers were satisfied with the quality and workmanship delivered by the developer. Some said they have the feeling it is like living in a resort than just a link house. Besides that, they are also impressed with the landscape and security in the area.

Back then before it was launched, people doubted this whole development due to several reasons including traffic jam at the U-turn along Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP), Kepong is not considered as Kuala Lumpur, have to pay RM1.60 toll to get to Damansara, and an unknown developer. After the development completed, most of these drawbacks were wrong which resulted the price to sky-rocket to above 20% immediately.

In the beginning, the maintenance fee was charged at RM0.15 psf. Later on, a year after the keys had been handed over to buyers, the developer has increased the maintenance fee to RM0.20 psf, which is a 30% increment over the first year. Residents are afraid that the developer will continue raising the maintenance fee from time to time in the future.

Besides Desa ParkCity, there are several other developments by other developers as well in the vicinity. These include Bayu Sri Bintang, a 4.5-acre guarded community that comprises of 26 units of semi-d’s and 4 bungalows, launched between RM1.4 to RM2.5 million. In addition, Sunway City and its joint-venture partner, Syarikat Permodalan Kebangsaan has joined bandwagon via Sunway SPK Homes by developing Sunway SPK Damansara and Villa Manja.

As within Desa ParkCity vicinity, the developer claimed that there will be about 7,278 residences in total comprising of 4,500 high-rise condominium units and the remaining are landed houses in another 8 years time. With upcoming several other new developments in Desa ParkCity itself scheduled by the developer, it is afraid that the area will be a high density and congested area.

There are few amenities planned to be built in Desa ParkCity. The developer has signed a memorandum of understanding with Subang Jaya Medical Centre to design, build and lease a 250-bedroom hospital in Desa ParkCity in August 2007. The lease will be for 15 years with the option to renew for another 10 years. The hospital is expected to serve the residents by 2011.

Besides that, there was another memorandum of understanding signed with Nord Anglia Education, a worldwide education specialist listed on the London Stock Exchange, to operate an international school in Desa ParkCity. Furthermore, Desa ParkCity’s town centre will be launched in 2010. It will comprise shops, offices, serviced apartments, a hotel and a hospital, on a 40-acre land.

Public transportation is a big drawback of this area. One can only rely on bus and taxi for public transportation. Thus, this area is only suitable for those who work in Mont Kiara and Desa Sri Hartamas area, as the location is quite far from other major commercial centers. It is not suitable for those who are work in Damansara area as there are plenty of good residential options nearby.

Investment wise, it is already too late to gain big bucks from a new investment here. Most initial buyers either have already cashed out large profit from their investment, or reside in the house as being tempted to the exclusivity feel. The price has escalated from RM165 psf back then in 2002, to RM355 psf. Mind you that Amelia Garden Homes was launched from RM800,000 to RM1,000,000 in 2006. Thus, there is still potential that the price will continue to escalate. Perhaps, the price will decrease a little bit, and then it will be the perfect time to jump into this impressive development. Nadia is also considered one of the best landed house developments in Desa Parkcity.

Amelia (also known as Amelia Garden Homes) is a terrace houses with linear parks and private gardens. The residential is part of 473-acre freehold development of Desa ParkCity. It was launched in September 2007 and completed in August 2009.

Amelia comprises 110 two-storey houses and 26 three-storey houses, each sit on 22′ x 83′ land. There are over 3+1 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in each house.

Strategically structured in the modern township, there are plenty of amenities can be found in the township.

Analysis

The facade of Amelia looks really modern from any corner you are viewing it. It uses modern colour scheme of grey and white. There are large sliding doors on each storey facing the garden for air ventilation and bringing in adequate natural lighting into the house. But you might find this inconvenience as neighbours behind can see your activities through the glass doors.

Location wise, Desa ParkCity is not located rightly in the exclusive area. It is located in between of Bandar Menjalara and Kepong. But comparing it to other modern township developments like Bukit Jelutong, Sierramas and Ara Damansara; Desa ParkCity is much better located due to its closes proximity to the Kuala Lumpur city centre, Damansara Heights and Bandar Utama. In addition, amenities available in Desa ParkCity are far better than others as well.

Accessibility wise, you need to fork out RM1.60 to reach Damansara and Petaling Jaya via LDP. Then, you also have to fork out another RM2.00 to get to Mont Kiara and Sri Hartamas. In spite of the high toll cost, traffic congestion is not your biggest problem commuting to work. But there is almost no public transportation available in the area, so living without owning vehicle would almost be impossible here.

The area is still lacking of amenities at the moment, as most planned amenities are still under development. These include a hospital (a joint venture between the developer and Subang Jaya Medical Centre) which will be completed in 2011, and an international school (a joint venture project with Nord Anglia Education PLC). Plus, there will be a town centre to be completed in 2010 that comprises of shops, offices, serviced apartments and a hotel.

Congestion is a growing concern here. According to the developer, the total developments will total up to 7,278 residential including 4,500 condominium units in 2012. On top of that, there are also a growing number of developments in Sunway SPK Damansara and Villa Manja. Adding with several commercial developments commencing right now, traffic congestion seems to be a headache. Amelia is also considered one of the best landed house developments in Desa Parkcity.

Adiva is a residential enclave located in Desa ParkCity. It was completed in March 2006. With a total of 144 units, this development was developed by Perdana ParkCity, which is a subsidiary of Samling Group, a Sarawak based timber company. Adiva consists of 2 and 3-storey parkhomes, courtyard terraces as well as courtyard apartments.

Adiva is located near to the border between Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, with close proximity to Bandar Menjalara and Kepong. Adiva is easily accessible via Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP) as well as Pencala Link. This resort style residential area is approximately 35 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur city centre, 15 minutes from Mont Kiara and 25 minutes from Petaling Jaya. There are many amenities built within Desa ParkCity, namely commercial centre, central park, schools, hospital and many others. Other housing developments in Desa ParkCity include Nadia Parkhomes,  Casaman and Adora .

A developer’s reputation is often one of the most important considerations when a potential property buyer scouts for a suitable property. More often than not, property buyers are intimidated to purchase properties especially if those properties are developed by unknown or less popular developers. With more than 15 years of experience and proven track record in property development, the developer of Adiva, Perdana ParkCity, has truly demonstrated its credibility. Among the many properties which were successfully completed are One Ampang Avenue and Bintulu ParkCity.

Market Trends

Adiva, Desa ParkCity Average For Sale Price

Analysis

All units at Adiva come with two car parking space compared to other types of development. However, due to the narrow space that could hardly fit in two sedan cars like Camry or Accord, this is certainly a drawback as the parking space could not be fully utilized. Apart from that, potential property buyers should also take note that Adiva adopts the western “gateless” concept, whereby there is no main gate and fence to separate each unit. This concept may be special but bear in mind that it is a rather new concept for the local property market.

Thus, Adiva might not appeal to certain groups of property buyers, as some of them believe that their children’s safety would be a concern. Perhaps, the local property market still needs some time to digest the new concept of “gateless”. Furthermore, this concept would also be dangerous for families with small kids as the little ones could easily run out onto the road if not placed under watchful eyes of adults.

It is undeniable that Adiva portrays the high-class image of the resort style lifestyle of an affluent group. However, as many of the residents hang or dry their clothes outside at their car porch, this has certainly flawed the posh image of this residential area. Due to limited parking space for each unit, there is also high possibility of cars belonging to the property owners being parked along the roadside. Even though there is a special car park area built within the Desa ParkCity township, many reckon that there won’t be adequate parking space once the other properties are completed and fully occupied.

Adiva may be located within a wonderfully landscaped resort style residential development, which currently has a comfortable density status. But many have expected the whole area to become congested in a few years time. Even though Desa ParkCity is a well-planned development, many potential property buyers are still worried that this place would be densely populated in the next few years. This is because the developer had earlier claimed that there will be about 7,278 residences in total comprising of 4,500 high-rise condominium units, while the remaining are landed houses in the next few years.

Before Adiva was launched, many people had doubted the appeal of this resort style development, as they believed that there would be massive traffic jam at the U-turn area along LDP and also the need to pay RM1.60 of toll charges in order to get to Damansara. However, when this development was completed, the negative perceptions eventually went off, as the beauty of Adiva has left most property buyers speechless. This has left a significant effect on the property prices within Desa ParkCity, as the prices of most properties have sky-rocketed to an unbelievable level. However, to some other property buyers, many still feel that Adiva is overpriced for a terrace house or an apartment.

Investment wise, many reckoned that it is a little too late to benefit on capital appreciation from a new investment at this place. From the time the property was launched until the vacant possession period, many property investors have bought and sold their units and have cashed out big profits. With the current escalating subsale prices, it may not be the right time to target on Adiva. However, Adiva may appeal to those who are interested in generating rental returns. Adiva is also considered one of the best landed house developments in Desa Parkcity.

Adora is a new development within Desa ParkCity, which was completed in June 2006. This development that was developed by Perdana ParkCity, a subsidiary of Samling Group which is a Sarawak based timber company, consists of a total of 92 units. Adora comprises 3-storey courtyard terraces as well as courtyard apartments.

Adora is located near to the border between Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, with close proximity to Bandar Menjalara and Kepong. This development is easily accessible via Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP) as well as Pencala Link. This resort style residential area is approximately 35 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur city centre, 15 minutes from Mont Kiara and 25 minutes from Petaling Jaya. There are many amenities built within Desa ParkCity to cater to the needs of its residents namely commercial centre, central park, schools, hospital and many others.

Analysis

A developer’s reputation is often one of the most important considerations when a potential property buyer scouts for a suitable property. More often than not, property buyers are intimidated to purchase properties especially if those properties are developed by unknown or less popular developers. With more than 15 years of experience and proven track record in property development, the developer of Adora, Perdana ParkCity, has truly demonstrated its credibility. Among the many properties which were successfully completed are One Ampang Avenue and Bintulu ParkCity.

Adora’s design and concept is very much the same as Adiva, another development within Desa ParkCity. However, Adora’s landscape where there is an “inner garden” located between the houses is deemed to be safer for kids, as the little ones could play and run around without being scared of incoming cars. Even though the “inner garden” was built with the idea of bringing the neighbours closer to each other, many reckoned that this concept could possibly cause privacy concerns among the residents at Adora. This is due to the fact that the properties at Adora are built very close to one another.

As both Adiva and Adora look similar, many property buyers tend to compare both of them when making decision on which property to purchase. Even though the subsale value for Adiva is lower than Adora, all Adiva units come with two designated car parking areas, whereas some of Adora’s units only have one car parking lot.

With reference to Desa ParkCity’s master development plan, Adora is located at a less favorable location compared to Adiva. Directly opposite Adora, there are a few blocks of apartment which is currently under construction. The presence of a few mid or high rise buildings is definitely a turn off to the panoramic view of Adora units.

Furthermore, Adora is located somewhat near to two huge water tanks, opposite the road which is on the Sunway SPK development side. Even though the tanks do not cause any health hazards, they do contribute to the “ugly” sight of the area.

Adora may be located within a wonderfully landscaped resort style residential development, which currently has a “comfortable” density status, but many have expected the whole area to become congested in a few years time.

Even though Desa ParkCity is a well-planned development, many potential buyers are still worried that this place would be densely populated in the next few years. This is because the developer had earlier claimed that there will be about 7,278 residences in total comprising of 4,500 high-rise condominium units, while the remaining are landed houses in the next few years.

A few years ago before Adora and the other developments within Desa ParkCity were launched, many people had doubted the appeal of this resort style development, as they believed that there would be massive traffic jam at the U-turn area along LDP and also the need to pay RM1.60 of toll charges in order to get to Damansara.

From the time the property was launched until the vacant possession period, many property investors have already bought and sold their units and have even cashed out big profits.

However, Adora may appeal to those who are interested in generating rental returns as there have been high records of expatriates moving into properties like Adora from other established areas like Mont Kiara. Adora is also considered one of the best landed house developments in Desa Parkcity.

Analysis

The entire project of Casaman has gross development value of RM300 million. It was launched on June 26 2010 with price tags from RM1.5 million to RM2.9 million. Even though the developer has claimed that Casaman is their last terrace houses development, there is news spreading saying that the new launches of 2011 will comprise of 212 terrace houses and 450 condominium units.

The news was stated by the Group CEO himself, Mr Lee Liam Chye in Parklife magazazine (January 2011). If the new launch is real, Casaman buyers will definitely make more money from better price appreciation. However, they will also feel cheated – definitely.

Levenue is a 3-storey semi-detached and terrace houses residential located in Desa ParkCity. Unlike Nadia and Safa which were developed by Perdana ParkCity (the original developer of Desa ParkCity), Levenue was undertaken by Asian Pac Holding Bhd (APHB) on a 24-acre plot within the township.

Located in a master-planned community, LeVenue is surrounded with ample of amenities. One of the major attractions is The Waterfront, which is a neighborhood shopping centre that consists of restaurants, cafes and Max Value supermarket as its anchor tenant. There is also a community clubhouse that offers swimming pools, gymnasium, tennis court, F&B; outlets and other recreational facilities. Its vision is to provide a better and more harmonious living environment for everyone in the community.

In terms of accessibility, LeVenue is nearby Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong which leads motorists to Bandar Sunway, Damansara, Puchong and SPRINT Highway. As it also only a few kilometres away from the Penchala Link Highway, one can enjoy direct access to key destinations such as Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas, Damansara Heights, and most importantly is only 17 km away from KLCC.

Property Details

• Name: LeVenue
• Adress: Desa Park City, 52000 Kuala Lumpur
• Developer: Asian Pac Holdings
• Completion Date: May 2005
• Type: Semi-D, Linked House
• Tenure: {Tenure}
• No. of Units: 232
• Land Area
• Semi-D: 40/50 x 80 ft
• Terrace: 20/22 x 80 ft

Facilities

• 24-hour security
• Club House
• Playground

Analysis

As residents of LeVenue have access to the club facilities, parks and other amenities offered by Perdana Park City in Desa ParkCity, APBH only needs to provide a small playground and good landscaping that fits in with the general development theme of the area. This enables APBH to focus on the design and layout of the units with plenty of cross ventilation and other features such as beautiful and spacious courtyards and fishponds available inside the units.

However, by having a quite large courtyard that took up too much of the usable space of the house, it makes the living and dining area look slightly smaller and cramped.

Investment wise, the price of LeVenue has gone up tremendously to at least RM970,000. As most terraces in Desa ParkCity are tagged around RM1.5 million these days, there is high potential for LeVenue’s price to escalate further. Levenue is also considered one of the best landed house developments in Desa Parkcity.

Analysis

One Central Park is a proud project of Perdana ParkCity, the developer who is responsible for building the entire township of award-winning Desa ParkCity, which offers Adiva, Adora, Amelia, Casaman, Nadia, The Westside One and Zenia. Also included in this township are Plaza Central, International School @ ParkCity, ParkCity Medical Centre and Plaza Arcadia.

One Central Park was launched on September 2013 with a launch price which begin from RM800 to RM850 psf. This price was considered to be good for a property in Kuala Lumpur, as properties in this vicinity comes with higher price tags. Investors should consider this property as the upcoming international schools will attract expats to move in, which will eventually cause the rental value to increase higher.

Analysis

SouthLake is well designed in terms of layout and facade. Unlike previous ones like Nadia and The Ridgewood, SouthLake’s facade looks more modern. It does not have courtyard like Safa does, thus making it having larger built up. Besides that, it has more top-down glass window and door that brings lots of natural lighting and makes the house airy. The front porch is quite large. As there is no pillar there, it is possible for a resident to park up to 3 cars.

Investment wise, Desa ParkCity houses including SouthLake are priced way above most terrace houses you can find. They are even more expensive than houses in Bandar Utama and Taman Tun Dr Ismail. So, unless you are considering this for own occupancy, there is very limited potential for the price to escalate further. SouthLake is also considered one of the best landed house developments in Desa Parkcity.

The Breezeway is a mixed residential development comprising park homes (terrace houses) and condominiums, located in the well engineered Desa ParkCity gated and guarded township. Its site is near to SouthLake, Nadia and Safa.

There are 76 park homes units all together in The Breezeway, each unit has a built-up from about 2,900 sf. The park homes provide each intermediate unit with 3 car parks, while the corner unit provides up to 5 car parks. However, only 1 car park is allocated near the individual unit while the remaining car parks are at the condominium car park. The condominium on the other hand has about 130 units, with a built-up from 1,293 sf for each unit and lot size of 25 sf x 27 sf. There are also duplexes with built-up size of about 1,800 sf. Each unit is allocated with 2 car parks. Other exclusive condominiums in Desa ParkCity include The Westside One, The Northshore, and One Central Park

There are plenty of amenities within Desa ParkCity. The nearest school would be the new international school. For eateries, the best place to go would be the Waterfront and The Quaritz. Another option to be considered would be Tesco Manjalara, which provides daily necessities and is only about a 5-minute drive away The Breezeway. Another important amenity is the Sime Darby Medical Centre. It is accessible via Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and Damansara-Puchong Highway. Besides that, it is at close proximity to Sprint Highway and New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE).

Analysis

The Breezeway is one of the few existing park home based residential projects in Desa ParkCity. Its inclusion as a new area, with new designs to meet demands, would prove as an attraction for future buyers who prefer to live within landed properties and still enjoy the beauty of the landscaping works and modern facilities.

However there are some concerns of the density of the area. With many high rise buildings, the area might become too dense, and might lose its exclusiveness. Even so, Desa ParkCity has its own plus points, citing the easy accessibility, and the amenities provided within a short distance would prove tempting, and so it all comes down to choice.
