Analysis
Following the success of Armanee Terrace I, the developer built Armanee Terrace II under the same concept but sold at a much higher rate. The reason was all the total 518 units come in bigger measurements and much better construction method, especially for the terraces. Unfortunately, many people did not have good responses with the development of Armanee Terrace II. Even with much bigger units and enhanced features, the selling prices are still considered unreasonably high for condominiums located in Damansara Perdana area. Furthermore, Armanee Terrace II does not come with club facilities of its own (except for swimming pool) and the residents are expected to share facilities with Armanee Terrace I, which are located quite a distant walk away.There is also some reports recently that the project Armanee Terrace II seems to have been abandoned. This might be due to the poor sales response and the recent construction inactivity at the site.With just a little more money, people can actually get condominiums with similar facilities in much better areas, such as Mont Kiara and Bangsar. As for renting, after such renovation works, owners would need to rent out their units at RM7,000 to RM8,000 per month. It is definitely not easy to find tenants who would be willing to pay so much for a rent, not in Damansara Perdana.
