Analysis

Waldorf Tower is another development from the infamous developer, Malaysia Land Properties, also known as Mayland. The company has been accused at almost each of its development for bad workmanship as well as low quality material used. Among the worst property done by Mayland is Sri Putramas I condominium which passer-by can evidence the crack on the building as well as cheap paint used. There are many problems associated with Mayland in terms of quality and business ethics including from bad workmanship, cheap material used to slow handover. Just like its sibling Windsor Tower, Waldorf Tower was completed later than its estimated completion date, which supposedly on July 2007. It is reportedly being handed to owners in September of 2008. Not only that, the quality is low as well. For example, its lift was broke down at the end of 2008, and unrepaired for several days due to slow action by the management. Not a surprise either. Plus, some owners claimed that they got slow follow up for complaints made. The traffic congestion is quite bad in the vicinity. Since the traffic lights at the junction of Jalan Sri Hartamas 1 and Desa Sri Hartamas were installed, motorists have to get through though congestion, especially during peak hours. Motorists are forced to stuck in the yellow box as the traffic is heavy towards Desa Sri Hartamas due to the second traffic light does not turn green until about 90 seconds after the first traffic light. Looking at the trend nowadays, studio units are getting well-received due to lower cost and most residents prefer to live as couple. Most investors gain handsome rental yield but not much capital appreciation for studio unit. Buying a studio unit in Waldorf Tower would be a good investment. However, there is uncertainty on how long the rental rate of studio apartment is sustainable, as there are loads of competitions in near future including VERVE Suites, Tiffani Kiara, Solaris Dutamas and Plaza Damas 3. At current time, there are several residential offering studio units including Mayfair and Dorchester. As the country is currently hit by the economic crisis, most people and analyst are skeptical about property market in the future. Most said that high-end residential will be badly hit. But there is some potential that investing in Sri Hartamas will benefit its investor due to a number of reasons including Istana Negara being built nearby, and numerous commercial developments such as Plaza Damas 3, One Mont Kiara, Solaris Mont Kiara, Solaris Dutamas, One Mont Kiara, and Glomac Galleria. With more offices built, it will surely bring in more residents into Sri Hartamas enclave to live close to their office.Looking at the traded price of Waldorf Tower, one can notice that there is quite a gap between selling price offered by the owners in their advertisements. This is due to lower floor units are sold at bargain price, as they possess the view of Plaza Damas shop lots and air-conditioning, or high-tension cable view which is across the road. Buying a unit at Waldorf Tower can be good and bad. It fulfills the first three property requirements "Location, location and location!". It is near to commercial center, college and located in a prime area. The only concerns arise are how the investment would turn out in several more years if it is badly maintained by the developer, like their other properties and affects of numerous new residential within the small Sri Hartamas enclave.

分析

Sri Hartamas的人口迅速增长，交通拥堵情况也日益严重，尤其在Jalan Sri Hartamas 1和Desa Sri Hartamas路口装上交通灯之后，繁忙时间更是水泄不通。以目前情况来看，公寓的studio单位越来越受市场欢迎，因为买房的成本较低，而且很多住户都是情侣同居。因此，这里的租金回酬不俗，但资本增长就一般。但随着邻近的公寓落成，例如VERVE Suites、Tiffani Kiara、Solaris Dutamas以及Plaza Damas 3，租盘的竞争将会加剧。现有楼盘例如Mayfair和Dorchester也一样拥有studio单位。虽然有分析家认为经济不景，楼市前景也不佳，不过也有人看好Sri Hartamas的房子还是值得投资，主要是因为这里交通便利，靠近新国家回教堂，周边有许多商业区，譬如Plaza Damas 3、One Mont Kiara、Solaris Mont Kiara、Solaris Dutamas、One Mont Kiara以及Glomac Galleria。增建更多的办公楼，意味着更多人会入住Sri Hartamas社区，以拉近上班的距离。注意看Waldorf Tower的转售价，业主在广告上的放盘价有明显差距，因为低层的单位都朝向Plaza Damas商铺、冷气机位置以及横跨马路的高压电缆，所以价格较低。购置Waldorf Tower单位有其利弊，最大好处当然是位于黄金地段，邻近商业区和学院区。买家最大考量反而是发展商的素质，市场对此发展商的口碑非常一般，如果Waldorf Tower犹如过去一些楼盘般没有得到良好保养和管理，届时要取得理想投资回酬将变得不容易。
