THE market for residential properties has softened since the beginning of this year and is likely to continue into 2009, market experts say. The potentially negative influence on the sector is supply, said real estate valuer Regroup Associates Sdn Bhd executive chairman Christopher Boyd.

In a recent survey undertaken by Regroup, it showed that there is an existing supply of 19,183 condominium units in Kuala Lumpur, with 13,902 units more under construction.

Sinaran TTDI – Stalled?

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008


Sinaran TTDI by UDA Holdings was launched back in mid 2006 with really good sales results. About 30% of the units were sold during the launch day itself. Quite impressive I must say, understandbly this is probably due to the fact that there aren’t many other new high-rise condominiums (other than the TTDI residence) in the matured and affluent TTDI neighborhood. Up till now, the units are all fully sold-out, as you can see from the big wordings plastered on the showroom doors at the site. However, there hasn’t been any visible construction progress since early this year.

A site check yesterday (14th July 2008) reveals quite a scary sight. There is no work at the site, without any machinery or any workers present at all. The development is reported to be completed in mid 2009, and I must say that is highly impossible. A call to the headquarters, I was told the date of expected completion would be Q3 of 2009. Don’t think that’s possible either.

This bring me to wonder if the site is actually jinxed. For those who have stayed in TTDI would know that the site that Sinaran TTDI is supposed to be built has had a string of bad history. Many developments that were carried out never had it going. It used to be a club house, but that didn’t last long and it was abandoned for quite some time, and then later revived as a mamak hangout. That didn’t last long either. Let’s not hope this will be yet another abandoned project.

UDA Holdings is also the developers for Gaya Bangsar, another high-selling project in Bangsar.
