South's KL Gateway and yet there is another launch coming up in this area. But this time, it is Freehold. The location miraculously is right beside the KL Gateway site, separated by a future new access road into the area from the Federal Highway. Miraculous because everything around it is Leasehold - so one wonders how developer UOA pulled this one off...

Total Pageviews
The launch is expected to be this month and UOA is taking in registrations. Unit sizes start from 620sf up to 1100sf and from the look of the architect rendition, it's going to be one of those high density pigeon holes - 2 blocks with over 600 units per block!! Indicative launch price is below RM1000psf and as with any launch these days, it will come with discounts. Nevertheless, do expect the smaller units to be around the RM1000psf price tag - similarly with KL Gateway, although the 2bedroom units were sold at RM650psf, the 1br studios went for almost RM1000psf. UOA's Southview expected to be more than that since it is Freehold. So who is going to rent or live there? The price of the 620sf units are expected at around RM650k and above - so it means the rent has to be over RM3,200/month to make it worthwhile. I can absolutely say that Bangsar South is attracting many MNC's being a Multimedia Supercorridor Zone. The 2 major commercial complexes - Horizon and Vertical Suites should have a population of about 20,000 to 30,000 workers at the future peak, with a sizeable number of expats. With KL Gateway, Southview and future launches coming up, I think there will be a pool of at least 3,000 to 4,000 apartments in this area. It does point towards a glut but this depends on how Bangsar South will be able to attract tenants from neighbouring areas such as Bangsar, Midvalley and PJ, especially with competition from SP Setia's project nearby. However, I can point out 2 key advantages of South View as an investment - Bangsar South's MSC status and the Freehold title. Expect this project to be a snatch when it launches this month.

sinleong Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I am a Telecoms Engineer and property collector. I have been collecting properties since taking out a low interest company loan to buy my first apartment. My prime focus has always been the Kuala Lumpur city center but recently I have been branching out to other districts. In my opinion, Kuala Lumpur offers among the most affordable real estate in the world. View my complete profile

Questions For Me Each day I receive at least 2-3 questions about Properties. Thank you very much for reading my blog. However, I have no time to respond to every question, especially when 90% of the questions are almost the same. So, please post your questions to my blog, under the most relevant topic and I can respond there so we can all share. Also, perhaps other readers can also help answer them. Some readers ask me to help or recommend properties to invest in. From time to time, I do make recommendations. However, you will have to bear in mind that if the property is super duper good, I would have bought it myself. Unless of course I cannot afford it or happen not to be in good cash flow at that moment. Yes, I do share some good buys but I also do need to protect the independence of this blog. Advertising In This Blog Of late we've been receiving a lot of requests to advertise or write about certain projects in this blog. So, please allow me to post a common response to address all such and future requests. In fact, I do not see anything wrong with profiting from my blog. However, this is an independent blog about property investments (or collection). We maintain our integrity through this independence. Therefore, I regret that any advertising or blogging or even comments with the purpose to promote any particular project directly or indirectly is strictly prohibited. In the past, I have advertised and sold some properties through this blog. Some are my own properties or they are properties that I would have bought but do not have the funds to buy so I would like to share the opportunity with my blog readers. To maintain the integrity and reputation of my blog which I have been running since 2008, I would not recommend anything that is over-priced, over-valued or in my opinion, not worth to be invested in. To be transparent to all blog readers, I do accept and receive finders-fees through such introductions like with any property or business transactions. However, I have also received requests from some friends and families to promote their properties which in my opinion are not attractive investments, some of which are priced too "opportunistically" - I do not advertise or blog about these! I will also accept for a reasonable fee to advertise non-property advertisments though they may be related to property investments such as furnitures, financing, insurance etc as long as they are legitimate businesses. But if the fee is not reasonable, it is not worthwhile to do it.So, I hope now everyone is clear about this. For further enquiries, please contact me at sinleongng@yahoo.com. Thank you. Disclaimer and Copyrights My stuffs are original and written from the heart. If any of my articles resemble other published material, it is purely coincidental. If you alert me, I shall consider editing or removing it.
