Titijaya Group is receiving mixed reviews from the community; some swear it was the best purchase of their lives whereas others condemn the developer (or its subsidiaries) for having a record of late delivery, sub-standard quality, and recently, bad management. As H2O Residences is really a first development for the Epoch subsidiary, there are little to no indication as to their capabilities or ethical practices.With all that said, the location is great; smack in the middle of a well developed area. Amenities are easily accessible from where H2O Residences is situated as there are many education institutions within the area, and many highways are easily accessible as well.There is undeniable value in the location and the proposed facilities.
