Desa Tebrau

[cascadia]

IKEA just told me that they won't be opening a store in Desa Tebrau so soon Maybe still some more market study and preparation are needed. I wonder why they did the SI so soon. Next few weeks I will snoop around JB for a better picture. I have been too busy to go JB these few weeks.

Expected, if one invested earlier because if ikea they are going to be disappointed.

It eventually will open. My gut feel is it will do some study of the market demand first then decide on the architecture and layout over the next few months, before the construction is officially announced

Frankly speaking I dun think it will materialize in the next few years. It has been delayed for so long, if it is to open, it won't need to wait even until now. There was such saying that they are not opening in JB because it will affect their business in sg.

Good chance it will because of soil investigations that just ended this month. It doesn't matter if it does not open as e area is already quite vibrant, and will be more so when SEC, Seri Austin, Austin Heights, VP in e next 1-2 years. Developer Plenitude is holding on to e commercial units of e big block, and this is a very good indication of e potential of e area.

The water slides at Austin Water theme park are up. The shops nearer to Austin Hghts are all completed.

That is good. Tot e water theme park is off. Happy to know things r looking better at Tebrau. Near Austin Heights there r also many new shoplots VP. I think this area around e schools will be quite upmarket in next 1-2 years.

Only problem is e jam around Pandan bridge. If it is resolved, more wealth will flow into e area.

We shall see. We can check back on the status one year later.
Dun feel that it will be materialized for the next few years.

I met a nice Singaporean lady who also bought a unit here n quietly reading this forum. Her unit finishing is much better than mine.

I just checked with developer that e key handover on e left side of guard house is in May/Jun, while e right side is in Nov/Dec.

The bumi units will not be releasing so soon. Everyone is pushing back their release.

The pandan bridge is still undergoing serious upgrading, while e new Tebrau highway flyover has smoothen traffic a lot.

I think so, in terms of character. She is near retirement while I'm far from it...

I think it is near Jalan Tampoi junction before the EDL-Pandan stretch. I recall seeing the construction of the pillars in 2012. The cars were coming a lot faster as I came down from EDL towards Pandan bridge.

Nearly completed (expecting in May 2014). Too much concrete and bitumen and too little greenery :(

Those on the left hand side of the guard house are ready for handing over. By the way, the guard post or the guard house looks pathetic . Plentitude should consider improve it.

The entrance and exit are too wide for a single barrier. I hope it has one lane for resident and another lane for visitor at the entrance and exit. The weakness of the security lies in the wire fences at the left side and back of the project. There are 250 units in total in this phase. If each unit pays $200 RM for security and maintenance, that is $50k RM per month. I'm quite sure we are over-charged as the earlier phases pay probably only half.

Tot the preference amount is ~200 ::p

Tot the preference amount is ~200 D:p

The lower the better :p Probably 10-20% of the owners will not pay. That leaves about $40k a month, which is still a lot to be accounted for. This is one aspect that I don't like G&G - fuzzy accounts.
