wow..great, it looks quite similar to the rendering...
great job argory ;)

Cool! :happy:

nice looking :eek2:

Woah, nice pictures Argory, So I guess you're a Subangite?

Anyways, I've never been to USJ summit but I heard its a bit dodgy at night, a lot of the "foreign worker types hang out by the USJ summit enterence, steps and hassle locals, especially girls". Dunno how true this is, since I have never been myself, only drove by it quite a few times.

Back to topic, what a building!!!!! I am just absolutely in love with it, its a different design, completely something new to the Subang area with just so much character!!! Wow!! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Great progress ;) Nice to hear that..have not been to that area for so long already

pass the area yesterday and its already complete..love the design..bit of colonial touch to it..

Well Subangite, I seldom go there actually except for the cinema. It's not that bad I think, but compared to other malls around (Pyramid, Parade)... :nono:

Anyway, here are some pictures for you guys. No clear skies for the past 2 weeks la, so kindly excuse the dull pictures. The tower is still in the final stages of completion.

I think this building should have been built in KL. Or maybe in a more dense commercial area like by the mesiniaga building in SS16 or SS15 Subang, not really by the Kesas highway. Just my take on it. It's still a pretty building.

Yeah or somewhere near Taipan/ MPSJ building...;) But I'm not complaining either, the tower was abandoned for years...

Anyway, they now have two blocks of medium-height apartments coming up just behind that cluster now...

Wah, so grand!!!

It looks ugly, but luckily not as ugly as its immediate 'red' neighbour. The doric columns and the pediment are so outta place. The building was designed without much understanding of the classical orders. :ohno:

Cliche.

Think anything with classical-ish columns, arches and triangular pendiments automatically = GRAND. :rofl:

You should see buildings here, like S'pore Recreation Club and some of the private bungalows and terraced houses. :ohno: :lol:

our era has our own style of architecture...no need to immitate those classic architecture...it shows lack of creativity. Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Ando Tadao never designs this kinda 'outdated' style....only retarded malaysian does...:down:

PRIME College is part of SEGi right? I realise SEGi love to have their campus in classic facade ... just look at the upcoming campus in Kota Damansara.
Maybe this design reflects some kind of high status or prestige towards the college haha?

probably the building color in dark brown is more suitable than the cream color....but the design is a bit out of place imo..

Newspaper clip sometime ago ...


PETALING JAYA: Casa Andaman Sdn Bhd has sold 90% of the 294 units in Block A of its maiden project, One Subang serviced apartments, in USJ 1, Selangor.

Since the launch early this month, sales have raked in more than RM65 million, says its senior manager of sales and marketing, Lau Hon Chong.

One Subang, one of the last few developments coming up in USJ 1, comprises two blocks of 25-storey apartments totalling 588 fully furnished units. These have a gross sales value of about RMl42 million.

The units will be sited on levels two to 25, while level one will house 10 retail outlets. The developer is providing purchasers of Block A 9% guaranteed rental returns for five plus five years.

Lau explains the developer is able to do this because of an understanding it has with Systematic College to lease part of the units for the students' accommodation needs.

"The market is very competitive. In Subang, landed properties are priced at above RM300,000. It is difficult to find properties below RM200,000. Ours are priced from RM148,800 to RM288,800," says Lau.

The One Subang serviced apartments are sized at 682 sq ft and 1,062 sq ft.

These offer three and four bedrooms, respectively. Each block comprises eight 4-bedroom penthouses with a built-up area of 1,555 sq ft. These are tagged at RM505,800 onwards.

Lau says another reason why the One Subang unit have been a sell-out is because, besides their affordable pricing, the freehold properties come with amenities.

The developer is providing facilities like a wading and swimming pool, multi-purpose room, games room, gazebo, volleyball and tennis courts, hair salon, mini-market and convenience shop, internet cafe, child-care centre, children's playground and a laundry service centre.

A 24-hour security service is provided and Prox Card software security system for entrances to the car park and lill lobby are also in the works, adds Lau.

One Subang will have four passenger lills in each block and a lobby area located on the ground floor.

The developer will be providing four levels of podium car parks, with each unit allocated a car parking bay.

Casa Andaman director, You Kong Hean, attributes One Subang's successful launch primarily to its prime location, freehold status, pricing, full-furnishings and the attractive sales package.

"Since this is our maiden project, we are out to impress," he says.

Sited on Jalan Subang 1, One Subang is just behind Courts Mammoth and near the Giant Hypermarket.

Within its vicinity are shopping complexes, colleges, medical centres and expressways.

One Subang is linked via Persiaran Kewajipan, Subang USJ 1 as well as the Kesas and Damansara-Puchong highways.

Its show units, opened daily from 9am to 6pm, are located on 13A Floor, Suite 13A.03, Menara Summit, Persiaran Kewajipan, USJ 1, UEP Subang Jaya, Selangor.

Ewww... Subang Jaya is going backwards! What's with all these (ugly) 'classical architecture' thingy? I suspect these are all owned by one same owner or designed by the same old architect. :ohno:
