«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1020 Newer› Newest»Hello everyone...i've recently placed booking on one of the 1307sqft units (facing hill/coastal towers) in the Phase 1 tower..i'm ultra excited bout it...=D
but 1 thing worrying me at this moment is that i see there are a lot of units of type similar to mine that are still not sold/reserved when almost all other types have already been sold/reserved....
Is there anything bout the unit type i mentioned in Phase 1 tower I should be worried about? or is it simply because it's not a seaview unit?? .. i hope it's the latter....
Appreciate if someone can let me know...thanks!!
Great blog btw...very informative about Surin.
Hi Ryper80,
It is very likely it is because of your unit not having seaview & is facing coastal tower.
Most buyers would prefer seaview although it is more expensive in price even if it means waiting for Surin 2.
Juz now was check the price and unit with bolton sales person... Rm 458,988.00 (13floor/type C/Sea View)....I am doubt the price for surin could it be too highest in future?
For the SPA any ideal of it?
Thanks Sulin...=)
I don't really mind if it's not having seaview...
& do you or anyone have any idea when Surin's showroom will be up and available for viewing??
After discussion with my parents...we are prefer floor 7 & 9 & 5 etc.
Still any available unit for those floor?
Tha retaining wall is as tall as 12ft. Hope this would prevent further land erosion.
Wonder still any available units price cost below 430k?
any update news for SURIN? coming saturday will goin to place a deposite....
why suddenly this blod so quite? :(
Bolton had a roadshow over in QueensBay Mall this weekend..quite good response..and oh yeah, the stop work order has been lifted...woohoo..hurry build up!!
good response? you mean a lot of units sold this weekend at QueensBay?
btw, has the price for Surin gone up & how much?
I was been there by yesterday....just left for units look not really nice... :(
I dunno want consider how many times...
I am first time consider invest in property.very scare go to wrong way...
want or don wan wan or don wan????
look economy are so poor now...izit still worth for invest property?my cousin was advise me don buy better look for any value home to buy...maybe stock fall down, alot of ppl may give up their property and we can buy it v them?
headache v me...anybody here can give me some advise?
At least for the coming 6 months time horizon, property price on Penang island will be flat. If the US economy futher worsen than the Great Depression, do you think KL or Penang property price will further appreciate at coming few years time? Keep open for at least 3-6 months, unless your dream home is already on sale like hotcake. US shares already on fire sale, maybe Malaysia property will on heavier discount than 1997. I bought my Bandar Utama home at 30% discount. But, keep an eye on your bank, they have already tighten their financing to 2nd hand car since a couple months ago. Your risk factors is broader than the price at this time round.
I am still in hesitation.Buy or don't buy?
Economy will be more worse on next coming year...its a timings for me to invest?
Property price willing to drop as market predict？
Anyone can give more advising for me?
Surin increase 10k on every units with effect from 18 Nov 08
So now how much the price for surin? Hillview 1300sqft n seaview 1300sqft? and also seaview 1500sqft n hillview 1500sqft? there got 2 block rite, both block same?
I am quite kinda interest with the location of SURIN. But still in hesitation cos of economy slump down...dunno its a timing to invest or not?
bubuzz I was also in the same predicament as you. Do you plan to purchase Surin for investment or for a home to stay in? If you are purchasing for investment, I would advise you to be cautious and to look around further for any value buy as the property market is slow right now. But,if you need a home to stay in, by all means, consider Surin as a good upcoming purchase. Reason being there are not many properties in Tg Bungah that is around that price range(mid 300K - 400K) as most of the new ones are luxury apartments. Furthermore, if you are buying it as a home to stay in, you have no need to worry about depreciation. Who knows what the market price of Surin will be in like 20 years from now, right? Another point to point out is that Surin is in a prime property area and you don't need to worry about any other property blocking your view if you purchase a seaview unit. I also heard news of luxury apartments targetting the hill area near Surin, and if so, that will boost the value of Surin too in the future. My 2 cents worth.
The Surin stop their work? 3months? My frenz stay near that area said surin stop their work for 3months..Izzit true?
Seem like its true....
what I can see only they clear a land.
construction work on Surin it look like a same.Can't see any progress yet...
I doubt with the incresing price with Surin...
How come in this worse economy market they still increse the price and without any progress with their project?...please don't flame me ...I am just curious about it...
I've just visited the site this morning (29/11)...construction is going on....quite a big part of the land has been cleared. (should be progressing in a normal rate?!)
In fact, I've been checking out the site quite often..
Don't think you're right bout the work stopping..
The latest tragedy at Bukit Antarabangsa should be taken as a good lesson to Peoples, Authorities and Govt of Penang as well. It had been years of talk about over-development at hillside and hilltop in Penang, like Tanjung Bungah, Batu Ferringhi, Paya Terubong, Bukit Jambul and etc. But most of the time, profit of the developer still supercede everything.
***
(Source from The Star dd 6 Dec 2008)
“But Malaysians never want to learn from past experiences, they want a good view (scenery) while developers only seek to profit but no one takes safety and soil stability into consideration.
“We will be courting more tragedies if we don’t (show) care and protect hillsides, and developers will stand to lose more,” PM said.
***
Maybe peoples will start to question project at those hilly area for now. But Malaysian seems to have a very short memory, after 6 months, everything could have been forgotten.
Hopefully, all the authorities in the state are monitor hilly project closely and not to intimidated by the developers, if rules and regulations are not followed. But sometimes, it's easier said than done, earth moving incident still pretty much an unpredictable event.
"NAJIB SAID NO MORE PERMITS FOR HILLSIDE PROJECT"
- Hopefully, it's not merely a political talk and should covered Penang as well. If you look at Surin Condo / Coastal Tower / Strait Regency area, Moonlight Bays area in Batu Ferringhi, Asia Heights / BL Hill / Boulevard area, Bungalows built at hill slope area in Paya Terubong, Bukit Jambul area and etc. It's really a cause of concern.
yes, i support the review of all hillside projects and hopefully, stopped all those on precarious slopes. well, i am sure you guys know which ones are the ones i am talking about....when flooding can occur on a slope, that speaks volume. the other issue is environmental degradation. anyone of us appreciate waking up in the morning to look at a massive block of condo in front of you??
Dear Bolton,
Has the local council given order to stop Surin after what happen to Bkt Antarabangsa incident? I heard that Surin has begun to do pilling.Just concern that the project will be completed on time. Please clarify.
I think Surin approved to continued work but 3storey bunglow at bt feringghi must stop work..
Bolton told me no stop/freeze order for Surin too. They said Gov checked the site and seems to be okay. only need to abide by the guidelines set.
Let's hope they do that & Things shall be fine.
Anyone heard bout a 'peaceful' demonstration going to be held or already held by nearby chee seng garden residents? what's that for?
Surin's rep., please advise :
Any impact on the project progress since the recent massive landslide in KL? What is/would be the steps taken to prevent similar unfortunate incidents? Thanks.
Goverment check and say ok?
WHo does the government sent?
Even specialist also need months bfore they
can come out with a resukt of safe or not.
How can they just say Yes or no...
See the outlook..
Ok la... can cont~
The hills is a guaranteed over populated and overweight~
Penang Govt has issued a stop work order to this project.
dear surin buyer...
ha ha...stop work order issued to the project
after bukit antarabangsa incident.
pls ask your developer to watch out.
we will form committee to discuss advance compensation to pay to us first in case the land slide happen.
this is called preempt compensation.
i think this will increase your aprtment price...
if they mange to complete.
chee seng garden resident.
chee seng resident...good for u...hope u n your committee get ur compensation..
but this ain't something to laugh about..be considerate..& nobody enjoys putting mud on your doorstep..thanks.
dear ryper80 :
i laugh on the developer. not the buyer. apparently buyer is not our target. the buyers might be the victim like us if the apartment collapse like highland tower. but, i am sure this developer bolton have 30 years old experience...should know how to deal with it.
we suffer the mud only. and we want the developer to help us prevent it... our house is brand new u see....later the mud will clog our drains and go into our house , how ?
the small children lungs will be filled with this red soil..some got asthma attack caused by this .....who will care.we will seek compensation from your developer..
With the prolong stop work order, question now is whether Surin can be completed on time? i.e.3 years from S&P.
If compensation have to be paid, which they should, I afraid the price cannot be raised further to offset developer losses due to many unit sold + bad economy time + hillside project.
Guess the typical measures developer will do is to lower the quality of materials used to cut cost. I don't think any buyer deserve a sub-standard building. The buyer should form a comittee to track the developer progress closely to ensure you get what you paid for, nothing more nothing less.
However, quality of material used in construction is very subjective. Don't think anyone can use it as a ground to sue or seek compensation from the developer. The most the owner can do is seek repairing during VP or warranty period. Just like Palm Palladium.
But agree forming a grouping is important.
OMG, Pg govt stop work on this project..
Dunno this project will delay until when??
Agree that sub-standard product or lower grade material is subjective, and worst still it doens't equal to defects. Wall and floor tiles cracking or pipe leaking easy to get developer to fix, but cheap quality tiles (you can tell only when you see it right away), wavey plastering, none straight line edging of wall... the best is to call it sub-standard workmanship, not defect... therefore, proactive measures may be helpful during construction. Hope reputation does matter to Bolton.
a lot of people here claims they are "from bolton" and... a lot of people here make gossips to mislead others...
chill la people... surin will go on and will be one of the nice apartments in penang...
why stress ur life out too much..
yeah right on, surin will be built, no way it will be stopped, nobody-you,me or any can! face it...
History tends to repeat itself... used to be plenty of blindly optimistic views from Oasis buyers, and not short of those speculate their profit prematurely... What's the consequence of shutting their ears from negative input/advices? The rest is history. Read the blog, similar pattern appear here in surin blog.
Very soon, with mass retrenchment, I foresee the Spring buyers will experience similar investment losses bcs majority of purchasers rely on the prosperous of Bayan Lepas industry... Although Surin is in much better position, but this hill slope and rock blasting issue is not gonna be settled in a week or two, not to mentioned those compensations required.
If similar fate as The Oasis is bestowed upon Surin, then it is just too bad...but being Bolton & like someone mentioned with 30yrs of experience in KL..they will be able to pull thru this...
This hillslope stability concern is a valid safety concern for those staying nearby any construction site..no doubt bout that...and agreeable that it is the sole responsibility of any developer to ensure the correct measures are taken to prevent any undesired problems in such times, but not to the extent of abandoning or scrapping projects..
I personally feel that there are also ppl taking this as an opportunity on the landslide tragedy to oppose all the new projects to preserve the value of their units.(I cud be wrong but..) For this blog concern, it's Surin..today, i happened to passby 2 of the condo blocks surrounding the Surin construction site. "Save the Hill" banners are hung in front of these 2 blocks. The ironic thing is that this is coming from 2 blocks of condos that are also built on a hill - hillslope furthermore. It reads to me as a somewhat contradicting and selfish message..It would have made more sense if this message comes from a grp not staying at the hilly areas..
Well anyway, I'm certainly not against saving our environment..
Also, I would think that rockblasting is an inevitable step which needs to be done for all buiding constructions..esp at the hilly areas. I wonder if there were similar protests that came from other nearby residents on rockblasting and landslide & also saving the hills during the period where some of these condos currently standing on the hillslopes were at first built. If there were, what was going on in the minds of these buyers at that time?
Anyhow, it is the right thing that the government is currently looking into all hillside projects enforcing tight controls..to address safety concerns of nearby residents & that future completed condos such as this Surin will have an even more solid and reliable foundation...
oops..befall should be the word to use. not bestowed sorry.
I am so agree with what you've just said "contradicting & SELFISH" aren't they also staying on the hillslopes huh??! Selfish in the sense to make noise for preserving the value of their "sea vie" homess.. So pls do not say "save the hills" it's so ridiculous!! oh i have a suggestion for the SELFISH residents, BUY THE LAND..then for sure no one will be blocking you for the rest of your life. i'm more worried of theirs collapse since they were all built during the "money eater" era!!
Hello guys!
Well there is no point going to and fro whether the project will go on or it will stopped. I guess Bolton will know what to do to ensure the project have to go on. I'm one of the buyer for Surin also and i'm not too worry as i believe everything will fall into place. Enjoy the new year! Wish you guys "HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!"
May the new year bring good luck and cheer up guys!!
Price increased! Surin must be mad. No one will buy it in this bad time. All properties are dropping like flies what make Surin think they are different? I would love to see it's prices fall to a more realistic level. As it is price too high as it is.
YoungDurian,
Can I know the latest price increase? I'm just curious how much more they are going to increase.
Durian,
Yeah, pls let us know how much is Surin currently fetching.
also, you might want to check out how much places like Birch Regency (above time square) is currently fetching...with it's built up starting from only about 900+ sq ft if not mistaken...surin being overpriced?..
If talking bout overpricing, i think Durian shld check out Birch Regency, if comparing a medium range project (with no balcony, 1 car park, location, built up) like this, i would say Surin is "underpriced".
High end condo like Surin, i think the price is kinda reasonable. (To clarify, am not a buyer of Surin..but am thinking to own one though :-))
Conclusion: Buy it or LEAVE it!!!
Guys, when you claim overpriced or under priced, please make it clear this is the speculate price, asking price or transacted price...
Ya, Birch Regency may priced highly, how many unit actually sold? Speculation more than actual market demand... So do Surin... And Alila... Date back 6 months ago, many claim Alila far superior than Surin, and asking very high sub-sale price.... Well, check penang-homes site, more than a dozen listed there for sale, but 95% unsold.
Conclusion, until the buyer meet the seller, all price is just for display purpose.
Wanna earn money fast? Must well speculate tonight DJ index, rather than 3 yrs away surin (if stop-work order to be lifted soon, or ever).
wow..so many postings since i last posted..
well, surin resumes. Stop order lifted. - i was informed by Bolton today (unless they bs me).
no one knows if another stop orders will be issued in future but anyhow the project has commenced and for sure it will be completed sooner or later...
I kinda hope ppl would just stop hitting on this project..for the sake of the buyers.
Surin stop work order has been lifted..went to the site yesterday and construction moving as per normal..yes, i also hope that people stop hitting on this project as the buyer also suffers...what is the latest price per unit now?
up 10k for all unit types...
dear all :
lately got consturction worker down with malaria...a few from bukit gambier, and 1 from surin condo project...
we need to watch out or soon we will be hospitalise for malaria..
Surin by bolton is a unlucky project because of landslide and malaria sentiment.
got bless the buyer...hee hee.
dear all :
the surin by boton project is unlucky due to landslide concern and recently on of the myanmar worker down with malaria..
for those we stay near by if u ahve symptom of malaria, pls go to hospital right away.
good luck to the buyer.
Hi alvin..mind telling what's the connection between worker down with malaria & good luck to the surin project?..thx..
I don't get it..what's the connection between Malaria and Surin buyers?anyway, it's not bad luck that the incident that happened at Bukit Antarabangsa affected Surin..positively, this will spur Bolton to ensure that the construction is done according to guidelines and also the safety of the buyers and surrounding residents in mind..whatever it is, the project will continue on as it's better to complete it rather than abandoning the project and leaving the site as it is...
totally agree!..and who knows, perhaps an abandoned construction site would turn into spreading ground for malaria instead?! =)
there really isn't a connection between malaria & surin or its buyers.
I just hope ppl stop hitting on this project with nonsense/childish statements.
We only accept FACTs (good or bad) here in this blog, this is serious..Now we're talking bout house/project that costs few hundred K & million and not just simply "goods"!!!
Buyers - we shall see :)
Happy New Year to all my future neighboursssss
Hello! On Sunday afternoon, I went to the site and found out that there seem progress on the construction. As a buyer it's a good thing but i saw something rather make me angry. I saw 2 big banner stating "Save the Hill" hanging on the wall of Strait Regency and Costal Tower! You guys are damn selfish! You have to remember, your apartment are also once a hill and they have to cut it down to built YOUR HOUSE! were you thinking of saving the hill when you buy your apartment???? NO RIGHT!! How come I didn't see banner at ivory project in batu feringghi?? their hill is almost botak!! and since you guys wanted to save the hill so much, go there and put a bigger banner. Oh yeah remember to put one on the Asia Green project, their hill is bigger and worth more saving than those in Surin. Please be more realistic.... You guys are just scared that your apartment have no view when Surin is completed and the price of your apartment will surely affected as your apartment is only looking at my Surin Wall!!! I've work so hard to buy a "home" and you guys for your own benefit, you guys want to save the hill as an excuse... PLAIN SELFISH!!!
how much with the SURIN BLOCK B now?The cost still increase?I like the location but....its too highest price for me
Hi Jack,
I couldn't agree with you more!...your view has been noted by one of the bloggers here as well =)..how selfish can some ppl be...This is outright contradiction of themselves..and such hypocrisy..all they are freaking worrying about is only the value of their condos once Surin is up...more to like "Save our apartment value" than save the hill.
News 2 days ago..residents gathered to demonstrate to urge govn to stop all hillside projects..easy for them to do so coz they are already living at the hillslopes..sure hope none of them who is complaining owns or plans to own any hillside units in penang...go live where all the flatlands are..
Hi! It's me again, as we all know that the resident in the area of Surin site commentted that the vote for opposition during the last general election in hope of the new state govt will able to do something to halt this project. But they didn't know the previous govt whom approved the project not the current govt. Commonlar... don't use this excuse to put pressure on the new state govt. They have been doing a great job so far in managing Penang State.
I understand that the resident who lives on the teres house scared of the rocks might hit their house from the blasting of rocks. I'm scared too if i live there but I'm sure the developer will take precautions to avoid damage to the surrounding. But the residents who live in Strait Regency and Costal Tower?? what is the rock blasting got to do with you? May God Bless You.
BuBuzz,
The price when I bought my unit it's RM385K and recently i went to check with them, the price is RM464K for block B. So the price has increase around RM60K.
U might want to check Breeza out.
I agree with the comments from Jack. It certainly is Pot calling the Kettle black as the Strait Regency and Coastal Towers are indeed on the hill. Don't forget that the Chee Seng residents had to put up with the noise and dirt pollution when Ratu was building YOUR units on the hill. If you guys think that saving the hill is your concern, do please buy up the hill and reimburse back to all Surin buyers. If not, please keep quiet and don't be so selfish as to threaten the government, developer and buyers - the project will still go on!
bubuzz - consider this - can you find any new decent condominium in the Tg Bungah vicinity that offers great sea view, freehold and facilities? If you search around, most of the condos in Tg Bungah would cost more than RM500K at least. Furthermore, after the issue with Bkt Antarabangsa and the current economic climate, I don't expect any new projects in Tg Bungah for quite some time(as Tg Bungah is mostly hilly). Think of it as investment too as the price is sure to go up once the project is complete. All in all, it's a good choice whether you want to buy it as a home or for investment purpose
Bubuzz,You still have an option if you really like Tg.Bungah area. You can look for 2nd hand apartment to purchase. GrandTower which is next to Maimi Green is about RM380K the last time I went to have a look. If you want agent's contact no. I have a friend which is into realestate.
Received a letter from Bolton reporting on the completing of the 2a stage on earthworks and piling. They also made clarifications on the 2 stop work orders received late last year.
everything sounds great...
anyone else received the same letter?
I agree with Jack too. The residents who put up the banner is not considerate. They protest while their own condo is on the same hill.. I really don't understand...Sigh.. Penangites..
Ryper80 - I also received the letter last week pertaining to the piling and foundation completion as well as the clarification to the 2 stop orders..Looks like our unit is going vertical soon!
We also received the same letter...i think Surin should be on track.
how much now? pls tell
Last Saturday they have a road show at Gurney plaza. I go to check out and the price is from around 378k to 463k. They also offer 10% discount for Block B now and no legal fee and interest until completion. The unit on offer is not so nice as it is hillview or facing costal tower. The other point is the unit with 1307 sf which facing seaview almost same price as the 1540sf which facing costal tower. Actually the condo layout design not bad but the only concern is either seaview or hillview.
Hi Yellow man,
I went to the sales office last week, no discount offered from the developer, only free spa n interest until completion. May i know how much they offered for the sea view unit after the discount? As I'm interested to get one.
Thanks
guys...i stumbled upon this blog. Check out this link:
http://tanjongbunga.blogspot.com/
and this youtube link:
http://penangmedia.com/cms/av/2008/1213/article_96.html
...i am speechless...i am just wondering how are we going to share the residential area with these bunch of selfish residents later on when Surin is up...really wondering... =/
there is only a 5% uptake or booking on tower A so far. so with this low uptake figure, will Bolton have problems with completion? anyone? any other news on the project?
pls all people out there, your info on Surin is not realiable
I am a foreigner and have checked with Surin that they do not give any discount and their Tower A have not yet been open for sale.
This morning I also went to see the site with my husband and the contruction site progress is still on going. The view is very nice with sea and Tanjung Bungah town. I also notice many people doing their morning walk and exercise infront of Surin.
Dear Inge,
you are right, these people really simply talk without facts and correct news on Surin. I am a resident in Tg. Bunga and have been notices a lot of good things in the area like people really love the place and have walk their dogs and evening exercise infront.
Dear Inge,
You are right, I am a resident at Tg. Bunga and also noticed the people there love the place by even walking their dogs in the morning and evening. Many people around there do their daily exercise infront of Surin road of which full of old trees.
yes it seems that I also like the area as it is very nice, quiet and clean.
agree with u Joanna which i also interested to purchase 1 unit seems that area are very cooling and surrounding are also luxury condominiums

1. 100% loan margin
2. no interest during construction period
3. Free SPA & Loan documents legal fees,
disbursement charges and stamp duty
4. Bank offer rate at BLR-2.7% whole tenure
5. Buy Back Guarantee
6. Low downpayment of only RM2,000
7. FreeHold property
8. Full sea view
9. very cool surrounding as Belle said
Thank You
Oh hi Joanna, remember me? From the SP blog. Thanks to someone I verify who you are now. Well stop playing cheeky tricks, good luck!
Hi Mr.Allan aka Joanna aka Amber,
oh ya, some local agent also told me that there are around 60% of the Tijani Kenny Hill people wanted to sell because they buy for speculate and sub-sale only. So it will happen in Surin as well since many buyers are really speculators and not a real home owner or long-term investors.
P/S: No offense to all Surin buyers & owners, so please ignore my message. This is just a joke between Mr.Allan/Joanna/Amber and me. We know each other very well. Smile :)
I see from satellite pics that there are still some greens in front of surin, next to The Waterfront as well some some greens further in front near the main Batu Ferringhi road. Does anyone know what future developments planned for those? and if Surin's view can potentially be blocked?
I don't think there can be any future development that might block Surin's seaview. Directly in front is the new triple storey terrace houses and there's no more land big enough for an apartment.
see satellite photo in link. copy paste in your browser. its a rather large piece of land.
http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/pggpggpgg/surinmap.jpg
Sory to disturb..
2day, i receive email from my fren about Surin. I think this email created by resident there and they spread to all..
I saw at the pic i think Boltan not take good reponsibility to others.. They did not done what is should they do b4 starting their progress work.. Pity a few resident there coz of careless Developer n Contractor their house to be spoilt..
They should ask for indemnity..
Who want to hav a look at the pic on the raining day at surin site.. Plz leave yr email..
i have the email on this project too.....they are causing a major havoc with the project......it going to get worst if nothing is done to it......
pgg - pertaining to the satellite image shown, i believe the photo is at least a year old. the triple storey houses directly in front of Surin has been up for more than a year now but it does not show in the photo. Most of the trees you highlighted is no longer there. You can drive by and have a look..I know so as I stay in the Chee Seng area for more than 20 years already :)
Thanks I3Chuck. i wasn't sure and is concern as was thinking of getting a unit at the Surin...
Sherly and AngelAngie, I received the similar forwarded email as you did and FYI, those flooded photos were the reason on the first stop work order on Surin. The main cause of the flooding was actually Taman Ratu's construction of the triple story house and not Surin. Please do some look up before slandering and blaming Bolton for not being responsible. I do stay in the Chee Seng garden area and the rain was particularly heavy on that day as well. Anyway the case has been cleared and there's no more flooding in the area.
pgg - my advice is to go look at the area and you can pretty well see that there is not much space for another unit to block Surin
I am a resident around the neighbourhood also. I dont see any future development that could block SURIN's view. I did get the email with pics on the heavy downpour. Other than the current development around the area, there is not much complaint. The green, once a while you can see the monkeys and squirrels. Its quite a nice place to stay.
Hi, Joanna
I'm kind of keen on surin property, for investment purposes, can u brief me and elaborate more on the buy back guarantee scheme? TQ
Went to visit the project site.
Quite a nice location and envir.
What is the sellign price now ?
The original launch price ?
Free legal fee and s/duty or any promotion ?
how come this site are not up-to-date. Problem???? Scare of people comment???
Ops!!sorry.It works....
Such a beautiful condo.I'm glad I've got one there. Wat a big hoo..har.. from chee seng garden resident? Haa..ha....
Hi Joanna,
What do you mean by 100% loan margin and buy back guarantee?
I heard they stop the project again?Is that true?
yes. I heard bout it too. Surin has stopped again.
heard it was due to some landslide issue or something...
Hello guys,your so called news on the stop work is a very very very old one liao la. I also received the same e-mail. It is the work of the nearby residents who is very sour of Surin just because Surin is going to blocks their unit view.
i went to the actual site this morning. saw lots of activities going on. the project is definitely moving on. in fact, the bank will release the next 10% payment within this month.
there's no stop work order for Surin...yes, that's the work of people who wants Surin to stop for their own benefit..Surin is moving up end of this month and yes, bank will release the next 10% end of this month/beginning of June
the only thing that i worry about is the slowdown for block A..i hear that only 5-10% is sold for that block compared to approximately 70-80% for block B...as such, block B will be completed first ahead of block A..i guess the economic slowdown took it's toll on Bolton and the Surin project
good to hear surin is on-going...very pleasant news indeed...
the economy seems to be picking up so am confident sales at block A will pick up as well =)
link 1link 2Stop work orders - but work proceeds, claim residents
The Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) clearly states that Bolton Surin can only work on Lot 4189.
The map above shows where Lot 4189 lies in relation to the other neighbouring plots, which have not been approved.
According to one resident, Penang state exco member for the environment Phee Boon Poh informed him on 30 April of stop work orders issued for the unapproved lots (Lots 4165, 4166 and 4188).
But the Tanjung Bunga Residents Association is claiming that photographs on 2 May show an excavator at work on what appears to be a very steep (Class IV) slope on Lot 4165. They maintain that the cleared land stretches from Lots 4165 to 4166.
Hi anythingpenang,
I wonder how and where you got the information on all the lots number? Unless you are the insider or you pay for the information or just hear say or or or or etc.....
Hi anyone out there,
If the residents are so unhappy about the project, go la sue the project or MPPP or the new state government la, instead of acting like a chicken that shit a bit by bit from time to time whenever the developer is doing some advertisement. Let's be honest and sincerely in what you do ok. Really tired of seeing this blog man, all but bullshit information only.
Amber,
Go ask anilnetto.com. I just posted the info from that website. You should ask them to stop.
CLICK THIS LINK TO KNOW WHICH SITE IS REPORTING THIS STORY
base on my sun tze art of war and ancient chinese "yi-jing" calculation, i think this project is going to face some problems due to fengshui mismatch at that location. disclaimer : i am not very good in this , i am just a begineer. those who haven't bought the unit, advise u to seek help from the fengshui master first. good luck.
LOL...the on going fued between hill slope development and the TBRA will never end..anyway it's almost impossible for the current government to stop this project unless they are willing to reimburse the buyer and the developer...now also got feng shui for this project?wah..wonder what else in store...tsk tsk..
No updates on this blog for so long?Heard that the foundation's complete and the building's coming up real soon?
check out the bolton website on the construction progress...it says foundation done and superstructure is in progress...=)
yupp..i just received a letter from Bolton today regarding the completion of the foundation..looks like it's moving along nicely :)
heard that Surin 2nd billing already out. can anybody verify this.
Amber, it's already out..i received mine & RM20 voucher to the PG Bon Odori festival via snail mail yesterday
received a letter frm Bolton explaining the Stop Work Order...
"We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the recent negative publicity highlighted in the Sun newspaper regarding our Surin project, as mentioned by you.
The adjacent slope as mentioned was already cut and damaged since 2005. When Bolton bought the project (under GLM Property Development Sdn Bhd) in 2008, it comes with an approved earthworks plan (by MPPP), inclusive of soil stabilization to the hill slope (of the adjacent land) and with consent from its relevant owners.
The “tanah lapang” as mentioned does not belong to GLM and nor was it handed over to the Authorities by GLM.
We knew the danger and severity of the previous cutting on the slopes and have embarked on our efforts to protect and stabilize the slopes at our own cost, but unfortunately we are now being slapped with a Stop Work Order on the slope stabilization. We have highlighted our efforts to the MPPP. But nevertheless, work on our building proper (i.e. on Lot 4189) is progressing well. We are scheduled to award the main building works before mid July 2009"
pp..is this related to the Star article some 2 weeks back?I heard it's the Ratu's triple story house project that was stopped instead..
confirming that I got the letter + the complimentary bon odori tickets too...
It's really good to know the project is progressing... 8)
btw I met with the sales manager and he told me that I can write in to have the main foyer wall moved out in order to regain more space from the huge foyer..it's a good idea to do that
erm l3chuck, which foyer are you referring to? u mean the foyer in our units?
yup..the foyer which is the front of the unit..where you put your shoe rack and have a chair or two for wearing your shoes..that's kinda big and for me, it's wasted space
l3chuck - i did ask the same question on the foyer expansion when signing the S&P. they told me better to wait till full completion (OC) as not to incur any unnecessary issue. the foyer is huge - 200sqft. my plan is to leave 100sqft for the foyer and expand the kitchen.
pp - i think you can go to GLM and ask the manager there(Mr Foo)..seems that it's better to write in now as there's no need to breakdown the wall to extend it out..furthermore, they will come up with designs to ensure that it's suitable looking..exactly, the foyer is wasted space i feel..i might make it smaller than 100sqft in fact..is yours the 1520sqft or the 1300sqft?
l3chuck - mine is 1520. ok, i will shoot Foo a mail.
I just gotten the news that Surin is launching its Tower A very soon with the price rather similar to the Tower B.
Last I checked, Tower B seaview units are all gone and the rest are also selling fast. May be is because the economy is picking up now.
yesterday STAR paper Bolton carried a full page advertisement on the appointment of their Main Contractor. Hopefully we will see some structure soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I was just informed by my lawyer last yesterday that my bank already sent bolton a check for the second phase drawdown. So structure shd b progressing fr here. Cheers.
Oh yeah.. another thing!
I'm now preparing to go to esplanade for the bon odori event. thx for the vouchers fr bolton. i'm sure will bump into many surin owners there.. yet v dont realised tat v r going to be the face of everyday s future neighbours.. haha.
Cheers!
how much is the price for Block A? If it's close to Blk B's price, then the price would have dropped as I remember it's considerably more expensive for Blk A..I walked in to Surin and looked around the site today..We should see the building progress very soon!
l3chuck, you mean you walked into the construction site to look at the progress? hey are we allowed to go in?
photos taken from Coastal towers early July just when the payment was called for.
http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad235/chnghs_bucket/
ryper80, my bad..I meant I walked around the Surin property and checked it out..they are currently working on the Block A hill extensively and removed those roadside shingles
I jz received a letter from RHB to start making interest payment, due 25/07.. such short notice. How bout u guys?
Hi l3chuck..no problem..=)
those are good angle shots from "yes"..we've been wondering previously if someone from coastal tower would take some pictures on the site...now we have it...
Nope. I've not received any letters from my bank on the interest payment...maybe it's on the way?!
pp - have you send Foo a mail regarding the wall extension for the foyer? what was his reply? I have yet to let him know about mine...
received a ltr fr Surin saying Tower A is nw open for sales. Starting price at RM395,988. Gonna drop by during their launch on 21st - 23rd either at their off or Gurney plaza :p any1 interested ??
Chloe..the starting price is for the 1300SF and facing sea?
the starting price is pretty similar to Tower B. i believe the 395k is for the 1300SF hillview. just curious what the status on the stop work order. anyone has any idea?
started my 1st instalment. hopefully things will move smoothly from now on.
i believe the stop order on the hill is still ongoing as there's no activity whatsoever..the only activities are work on the Block B structure as well as hill cutting/blasting for Block A
surin is in the news!..saw it on NTV7 yesterday on some mandarin news....i think the issue is on the hillside slots..regarding some permits on some lots at the surin site..n the usual rants from the chee seng residents...
i think in a way it's a good thing that this is happening so that everything bout the project is done legitimately...
yeah..there is an issue whereby the construction is ongoing on not approved hill slopes..however, construction is still going on for block A & B..btw, i checked and block B is going up quite fast :)
i went to the site last week. finally can see some progress. my fear is raining season is round the corner. if they dont settle the hill issue fast, another round of mudslide might happen. then hoo-haa again.
Hi dear friends,
Pls give the project a rest ok, whatever you all are talking about is already a very old news of which it does not have any bearing to the project anymore.
Kindly don't listen or read into the rumous that had been spreading for so long. If you think Surin is not good, then don't buy is that simple.
If the residents around are not happy because Surin blocked their unit view, then sue Bolton in a proper channel.
Don't have to be like the opposition to do all sort of street demo and find faulth with other people other than themselves. And using email and blog such as this to spread bad news and gossip.
For Christ sake, pls stop all this unethical practice.
In fact there are other projects are have more serious problems than Surin that no one is even bother to bring it out.
If one think that the present government is no good, sue them la!!!&^^%%$%&*(.
the raining season is already here but i doubt the flooding will happen again as it was previously due to blocked drainage..i am sure Bolton has taken steps to stabilize the hill slope..btw, anyone went to the property fair in Gurney this weekend?Surin is one of the property on display there
Block B 1307sq ft(seaview) still hv 1 unit
Now Blok A 2 - 9 level & penthouse starting for sell
price ah!hahaha ada perbezaan lah with Block B
Show Room this year end or nxt year will be hv!
went to the site last saturday..really good progress on tower B. it's such a pleasant sight.. =)
can't wait to see the showroom...can't wait can't wait...=D
bolton needs to watch out for the hillslopes at the tower A site though..needs more of those blue cover, else the blokes there will make noise again...sigh...
alex - how much Tower A differs in price with Tower B? i thought they are seeling at the same price.
I believe the 1300SF unit on tower A starts at around RM450K or so...the 1520SF starts at more than RM500K...tower A's price is
definitely much higher than tower B's..
ryper - Bolton can't touch the hillslope due to the stop work order on it..yesterday i went by and as it was raining heavily, I could see a mini waterfall cascading from the hill near tower A..but if there's sufficient drainage, it shouldn't flood downwards
check out Bolton's site - http://www.bolton.com.my/bolton/templates/north_surin.aspx
new pics on Surin!
pp & all friends
Block A 1307sq ft(sea view)min Rm 470k. One flr +2k u also can go 2 my blog 2 view
Just like me say Block B 1307 sq ft(sea view) still hv one unit price Rm465K
Yeah i saw both the pictures at Bolton website as well as the mini waterfall near Tower A the other day when it rained....but saw no abnormality along the road so i guess the drainage worked.
I feel that Block A's price is a tad too high lor...
One full page advert in yesterday's The Star on Surin Tower A..starting from RM374,988..I wonder which unit is that price referring to...
Does anybody knows the sales status of Tower B? Are all the units sold?
last weekend I checked, Tower B sea view units are all fully sold. Left with only 50% of the hill view units priced from RM374,988.
As for Tower A, sales is also good, just 2 day weekend, 10 units already sold.
Good to hear that sales are good for Tower A as well..the Tower B hillview available units are mainly at those lower floors if i am not mistaken
Hi all,
I m new in this blog, i hope to get more information on Surin from all the expert over here, thanks in advance.
I went to the sales office the other day and was shock that the TowerB already sold out, now they are opening the TowerA (up to 9th floor only) for sales, i am hesitating whether want to book an unit as i like Tanjung Bungah area but the price is quite high now.
Is it a worth property to invest or stay?
Anyone can give some advice to me because i was told that the promotion for the package of INTEREST ABSORB will be end by this month which is September 2009.
Meaning to say, i still have another half month to consider whether want to book an unit.
Talking about the unit, the price between the hill view and sea view is so much different, i think it is "too much" by increasing almost 30%, really ridiculous.
another thing is the floating mosque opposite the Surin, will it be a problem for noise pollution, i mean the praying.
Anyone who wish to give advise to me or may be we can be friend, please drop me an email so that we can talk further on this property.
my email is wetdressguy@hotmail.com
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon...
SAM
Teoh, I am a Surin tower B owner and I will of course advise you in purchasing Surin Tower A. You are right in stating that property price in Tg Bungah is high now. In fact, property price in the whole of Penang is high and the fact that Tg Bungah is a prime area makes it even more lucrative for developers. If you would to look around Tg Bungah, most of the on going projects right now are those multi million ringgit projects(Skyhomes, HR, Fettes Residence etc)and Surin is priced lower than those projects. Location wise, I would say that Surin is better than those I mentioned, i.e. not located on the main road, further away from the sea, quieter and you have the best of hill and seaview. I plan to stay, not for investment sake, therefore those criterias made the choice for me. However, for investment sake, you have nothing to lose as I am pretty sure the unit will fetch a higher price upon completion. For eg, a corner unit(1520SF) was priced at app RM460K by the developer and recently I saw an ad in the newspaper asking for RM550K and RM600K for the same unit and that's before completion!
In regards to the different pricing between sea and hillview, it's actually a standard that sea facing units will generally fetch a higher price. It all depends on personal taste too; some prefer to view the hills and some the sea. The cons of seaview is that it can be too glaring in the noon and sometimes the sea breeze can bring dust and make metal rust faster. However, Surin's quite a distance away from the sea, so no worries. However, do take note that the hill behind Surin will be cut and I am not too sure if it will be sprayed with cement or planted with trees, grass and shrubs. Some people complain that the cement sprayed hill can reflect sunlight and heat to their units(e.g. Alila Towers). So, it's up to you, but of course sea facing units will fetch a higher price indefinitely when you plan to sell it.
I myself stay in Tg Bungah near the floating mosque and yes, the mosque will sound off at around 5.45am but I do not have a problem with that. Either I am too used to it and I can sleep throughout the prayers but I don't find a problem with that. It's not as if the prayers would come every few minutes/hours or so, and I definitely think it's better than living beside the main road with the car/bike/bus and air pollution.
In all, I think it's a wise decision to make a purchase as Penang property price will not drop in the near future, and even late last year when the economy went down the drain, the price still sustained. Make a good choice and congratulations, even if it's another home other than Surin :)
Hi,
Really thanks a lot for the information, you are so wise to grab an unit in TowerB, i reckon you purchased with lower price compare with the TowerA now, right?
I can foresee that the price will get higher upon completion, that is definitely, i seldom seen any property will drop the price especially in Tg Bungah area.
I am toward to make the final decision but will have a final discussion with family on which unit to purchase, either Sea View or Hill View but no the 1500sq feet one....out of budget.. ( ^_^ )
Hopefully the praying from the mosque really not a problem for me as i like peaceful and quite environment especially after one day of hard work.
May i know what is your name? may be we can become friend one day.
Thanks again.
The Mosque is confirmed. If you have a problem with daily dosage of 5 times prayers blasting away don't buy it that simple. It's hard to find a place that doesn't have a mosque with 3 miles radius. Wish they would set a law to monitor the loudness. Some are louder then others.
Has any noticed why do they have a foyer so big. Type "B" foyer is bigger then the kitchen. All units has huge foyer that are seldom used. Very bad design.
Hi Penang Fan,
The Type B large foyer is purposely design for the buyer to do extension on their own liking floor layout.
The Type B large foyer can be designed into wet and dry kitchen, storeroom/maids room and anything the buyer wanted to do with it.
One important thing to note here is that whether is in Type C or Type B, the foyer is legally and binding in the SPA and final title.
Unlike other development as published in the news yesterday Star that the developer sold them the car park bays but the bays is not a "common property" of which the owners now want to sue the so called "bad developer".
In Surin, all things are transparant in all the information given anyone who is interested to buy.
How much price for THE SURIN now?
Tower A open for sales now. Price for sea view 9th floor RM505K 1307 sq ft
Hi KK,
What about Tower B of the same floor? any idea?
=)
Dear ryper80,
All seaview units for Tower B sold out. Tower A still available.
Dear All,
Tomorrow will place a deposite for surin tower A Rm48x,xxx.xx...
I am still in hesitation whether the project will complete on time or not?
Mr Foo was told me will complete on 2012.
Any commends?
I was quite shock that on my last visit to bolton office (with my fren whom was interested to get a unit there), i realised tat many units in block B were ord sold off in last couple of mths. only a very few left, except for the newly launched block A. Even for block A, there seem to b a sudden surge of public interest in surin. Maybe bcz interested buyers were waiting patiently all the while until clear signs of development is under way now, as block B is starting to rise (ord building level 2 carpark). Shd b quite fast once the difficult piling period ord done with.

Actually the price of Surin is quite cheap compared to other projects in Tg Bungah area..in fact, you can't find any "cheap and reliable" projects anymore over here..good to purchase as a home or investment!

reply ryper80:
I am notice bout this question too!anyone can give some comments? its true,compare with other project its very slowl!
To me is not really, some project starting is slow due to maybe they need to do work for foundation but they are still progressing...if you compare to other project, some launching even the site still forest.

HI...
My friend was told me Coastal tower and Straight Regency facilities are better than Surin.Comparing the price-Base on Surin facilities and sft and maintainance all consider expensive than those nearby condo?some more the bath room without any bath tube...
Please sharing about my doubts...Thx
Hi Sam,
How was the site visit during the weekend?
Everything looks good?
Cheers.
How many percent the stage? both block under same stage?
how much for the Tower A 1500sft?
I considering to purchace a unit at Blk A, sea facing 1300sq. Do i get a sea facing, from anything like below 8 floor?
encourage you better purchase waterfront.Price and view definitely cheaper than surin.Some more per floor only 4units.
wong_itac, there is nothing blocking surin at the front, as there is already existing landed properties. The units started from 5th flr, the first four floors being the car parks, furthermore the whole structure is built on a hill-slope, this should offer some guarantee in term of altitudal view. However, the surin does not comes with the full sea view, you can refer to the photo in the leaflet. I agree with king817 that Waterfront looks more promising at that perspective. In terms of price, ~370psf still can be reasonable as long as it comes with cost-free packages eg. legal, interest during construction, and in considerate this is a price a 3 years to come. Cheers.
Wong_itac, the units available now are the lower floor units. I can still get level 4-5 on the right side of the block. The whole block is seafacing with no possibility of any new future projects blocking your view.
Does anyone know that the take up rate in block A?Thanks.
Hi all,
I bought one unit of this property in year end of 2008 (above 20th,floor) ,and i use to stay in oversea.i have no time to update the latest information.Have all the units in block B been sold?Thanks again.
Tower B currently sold out.
I am looking for tower-A. But prefer above than 10th floor.
anybody can update me price for the tower-A above 10th floor?
At the momment i am in China.Hope someone can send me the details.
Thanks.
Kyotoshi
10th Floor and above have not been released yet.
The price would be around RM70K more expensive than the current releases.
I am doubt with the highest price increase RM70K could it be sold out for the whole tower?
