really big FOOOking joke

[wendychan]

dunno what is the love for integrated mixed developments?
it brings with it a set of problems that the authorities seem like dont wanna address...

lousy design that sees no proper separation from residential and commercial areas, so much so that outsiders to the malls can trespass easily into residential area
and how many buyers KNOW ..... whether you buying for own home or for investing that the bigger developments have 2 or 3 MCSTs....
that you will have to pay management fees to/for

Integrated developments are highly sought after by investors and people who want more than just a home. These properties are specially curated by top developers who have diverse expertise in building residential and commercial projects.


FOOking joke.... what was she on when she wrote this?
top developers?

[WhatDoYouThink!]

convenient and easier to rent out. but monthly maintenance of integrated developments are higher.

it's much better to get one near a mall than one above a mall.

True. Meal cost also higher unless they walk much further.

Yeah, renting to foreigners is easier. I used to live above a mall in Jakarta while working there. Very convenient as I don't know my way around Jakarta anyway.

Outsiders need access card to go to the residential area.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

car park lots in integrated projects are in good demands, so some owners rent out their lots and that raises some security issues

[wendychan]

Outsiders need access card to go to the residential area.

Integrated / Mixed Development consists of 2 MCSTs whill be overseen by 2 MCs and run by 2 MA. The 2 MCs can be the same group of volunteers and the 2 MA running 2 different companies "MCST". The 2 MA running the daily operations can be from the same MA company for ease and practicality and cost saving purposes but it need not be so.

With that in mind, as there is 2 MCSTs (Companies), owners that have a unit in a Integrated / Mixed Development  will need to pay for 2 Maintenance Fund (MF) and 2 Sink Fund (SF). Not to fret, it is not double the amount, rather it is an addition.

For example, for a standalone development, lets say owners pay X (MF) + Y (SF) for their maintenance contribution.

In a Integrated / Mixed Development, the owners many have to fork out 1.3X (MF) + 1.3Y (SF) for their quarterly maintenance contribution.

[RichDad]

To each her own. Pay more for convenience and later flip for profit? As long as the market believes it is worth it, then there will be good resale value.

[Napoleon Porlumpar]

worth it................imagine all the time and bus fares you save going to the mall...............

For handicap people, it is definitely worth it to stay above the mall.

For healthy people, it is better to stay far away from the mall. If not they will feel very lazy and dont walk or jog or cycle to the mall. Good for exercising and staying healthy

my mixed development currently rental 7.5 to 8.5 psf and we aint above a mall,  but got a few shops on ground floor..
make money for investor is one thing, but like i said, mixed developments bring a whole new set of problems that the authorities currently do not wish to address
