Hi Sean, good to see that you are still replying to the comments here. With UA-cam's algorithm bringing a lot of viewers to this video, perhaps you can consider doing a video to give us your view on the suspension of work, potential reasons for such suspension, what should the buyers do if they face such situation and most importantly, how to reduce the risks of getting into such projects?
This type of properties built for world elite class, for whom there are no national boundaries. In London, NY, Paris, Singapore, now KL. The world's richest 1% have more than twice as much wealth as 6.9 billion people. These properties are needed as another asset class for them to park their cash. Think middle east royalties, nouveau riche like Chinese, business tycoons, as well as unsavory types like corrupt officials, and Jho Low-types
The kitchen is ridiculously TINY! There is no counter top for food prep, no storage for pots and pans, this apartment is not for living, it is for showing.
I guess if you r rich enough to buy a unit there, u won't be cooking in the house. Cos those kitchens just won't work. Even for basic cooking. No matter how efficient the ventilation is, having the kitchen in the middle of the space like that is just a recipe for a smelly house
yes, brand named designers, constructors and all that... but still can't help but notice that weird layouts for both units, e.g. long corridor, triangular restrooms, restroom without windows, or a restroom bigger than bedroom.
Your major concern came true. Ksk is just being too ambitious with no proper backing. Technically ksk does not have reserve fund to back the project at all .
It's super luxury residences .Awesome !! But i think the distance between two residence buildings is too close. I don't think the units facing each other have a good view. Thanks a lot, Sean! I'm so glad to watch your video. Have a nice day!
Just wow, the marble in the bathroom, the floor, the finishing all superb. Also the layout in the second unit is very different but in a very good way.
Sharing from experience, the wardrobe next / very near to the drainage will be a good nest for silverfish & cockroaches. Even with pest control floor traps, silverfish will still be able to come up and would love it if the room isn’t well ventilated. As for cockroaches, will have to constantly ensure that girl’s long hair doesn’t clog the pest control floor traps underneath otherwise there will be sufficient gap for baby cockroaches to come up. Regardless, this is a good video, keep it up. 👍🏼
I'm not sure about the reason of stopping yet. It's easy to assume that developer (client) is not paying. But I think it's because of the high inflation of construction and material cost, leading the contractor to not be able to complete the project. Therefore breaching the contract with penalty makes more sense than completing the project and lose lots of money. Now the developer will have to engage another contractor to complete the project and be prepared to pay LAD to buyers for late delivery.
@@iherng thanks for ur reply! There is one more abandoned condo name kuchai east which quite near to my place. It seem like more and more abandoned condo appeared, as a buyer, do you have any suggestions to avoid or view of points on these kind of issues?
@@aces4490 8conlay situation much more easy compared to kuchai east , as 8conlay is belongs to ksk land , easily they can find another contractor to complete the project . yes , abandoned condo causing by inflation. yet kuchai east i don't think can easily revive , as this company already close all office in town . sooner land office will announce this project as abandon , and with the very low margin of this project , i don't think there'll be white knight developer willing to take over .
I would definitely pay a visit once it's completed. We can only feel the total experience of hospitality by then. Surely can't wait to stay a night in Kempinski too:)
KL would be alot better if we build more public walkway like the pavilion-klcc and lrt-ktm pasar seni ones,...costly yet pedestrian friendly bcs the amount of smoke n dust from the very wide city road traffic plus the heat demotivates ppl from walking,,even from a station to another..thus more traffic
Hey Sean, can you please do a review on the 163 Suites KLCC by Plush. I've looked everywhere and can't find a tour of that place. Closest I got was Soho Suites but the internal is not the same from what I saw. Thanks.
Hi Herng. I really enjoy watching your videos, the way you explain also is good and mostly unbiased sksksks. I'm a real estate student so those videos really help me 😉
Hey... my junior hahaha. Thank you so much for watching and reaching out. I would appreciate if you could share my video among your peers as well so I can help more people=)
Brand association? Been to a condo of a chest thumping designed by Norman Foster and tell you what, it screwed up big time. It gives you hell a lot of leaking due to too much of curtain wall system. Pray this one won't have such problems.
People who buy these kinda property does not care about the odd layout, psf price, tiny kitchen .. IMO, They look at designers brand, their status upgrade of owning 1 unit here, adding 1 of the designer service residence into one of their list..
It's not a failure yet until the project is delayed in accordance to the SPA. So most probably there might be a new investor and a new contractor, so let's see=)
Hi Morrison, at par with this project would be 4 seasons KLCC. This is selling at a higher price in comparison to Star Residence, but it depends on whether do you need that 'branded' experience=) Thanks for watching Morrison!!
This condo cannot buy. I was going to buy the penthouse but it said reserved for the developer’s relatives. I decided not to buy and then it has financial problems. NOT SECURE DEVELOPMENT!
Haha 13units during MCO ... it's for USD$500k only n very affordable in the eyes of expats. I wonder if under-con purchase will give extra advantages or discounts in selling price or shall we wait for completed unit to really check the branded built.
thank for the walk thru dude, i heard this project from a colleague and when he mentioned the price i was stunned. Finally got to know the justification behind the price. Thank you very much Sean. BTW if anyone is curious bout the maintenance fee i just looked up is RM1,20 psf for now. When u stay in this price no longer a problem i guess hehe. Maybe can do a follow up video on the actually building when it is done? Once again thank you very much Sean great content!
@@khinlee33 thank dude for the update I think the property portal have some misleading numbers But grats to u dude may I know what makes you buy a condo there given ur budget there are plenty of comparison lying around if u don't mind me asking And maybe can team up with Sean and show us an intro to your finest home when it is done hehehe
Saya tak tentu lah, sebab sekarang kerja pembinaan bergantung kepada status covid juga. Mungkin boleh periksa dengan pasukan pihak pemaju utk matlumat lebih lanjut.
I've only managed to get access for a few only unfortunately as they are not as accessible but I do agree with your statement. I will try my best yea Ave. Thanks for watching!!
Hi bro, do you have any good suggestions for 1st time home buyer for the purpose of investment. There are loads of projects now and its hard to decide.
Yea.... It's a great learning experience for myself during this visit. It's really catered for that top 5% of the world. We shouldn't let our belief limit ourselves hahaha=)
I’ve been to this show unit as well and many others but these show units are designed and built to make it nice for selling. Actual units will be very poor quality as always. Malaysia construction level is way far from global standard.
8conlay already continue build up their work so no worry this project will suspended，their backup company are powerful also，they will not leave out this type of project
The layouts of the units are a bit odd. They look like apartments being built on leftover spaces. It's a pity that such an expensive project with so many big names, is now popularly known as the "Senget" building.
There are total 12 different layouts, this video is only showing 2 of them. Let’s make appointment with me and find out more about the details. Thanks😊
The maintenance fee is RM1.05psf, reasonable charges with 5 Star Hotel Management & 5 star facilities. Welcome to make appointment with me 012-3996367 and find out more about what’s Branded Serviced Residence, which is very rare in M’sia market.
@@iherng hahaha, this is a very good lesson! There is always a risk if buying new condo. Resale condo will not have this risk but for sure will have to face other thing! Thank you for your effort keep on sharing!
Hahahaha. It's up to individual preference. This might likely be the next house after your landed property instead of an everyday house. Thanks for sharing limwk=)
I may agree that this is a luxury property, but for me myself, I own properties around kl and pj including country heights damansara and I still definitely think this property is extremely expensive. Moreover, the property is still in construction and cannot judge on a single show unit. Based on the 3300psf, I'm only getting less than 700sf based on 2.3 mil. I think this property is way overpriced . They can already earn 2.3 billion + in revenue from residential units alone somemore.
Erm, I'm not trying to sound rude but I would suggest another property because this is one of the highest priced property in KL haha. Mostly people buy this as a trophy collection piece. Thanks for watching!!
Maybe I'm the minority but these kind of over the top luxury hotelroom styling is a bit overkill. Not homey feeling. If they can use the same standard but make it less hotelroom type feeling it would be great.
Owning their brochure is all that I can afford for this level of luxury.
Lucky for you…… coz you only own their brochure ……..😅, if you own one of their condo….. you’ll start crying
ya 1 brochure is better than million dollar abandoned unit
Hi Sean, good to see that you are still replying to the comments here.

Only buy property after its completion
the customize marble sink countertop and shelf really made that impact. Great video Sean!
Yea. I enjoyed that countertop too:)

Well said
The kitchen is ridiculously TINY! There is no counter top for food prep, no storage for pots and pans, this apartment is not for living, it is for showing.
Excellent point! Maybe the target market dont cook at all and just eat at restaurants or order in
That's for simple brunch prep 😉 we would dress up and walk over to Kempenski dine in or call the red lady for ala carte menu delivery to your unit
@@flyingfox3766 cooking for fun is out if the question.
Isn't showing off the point of this property?
Put a cooker out on the balcony.. hopefully those above don't notice it and complain ;)
I guess if you r rich enough to buy a unit there, u won't be cooking in the house. Cos those kitchens just won't work. Even for basic cooking. No matter how efficient the ventilation is, having the kitchen in the middle of the space like that is just a recipe for a smelly house
Yea, and it's a design not for asian cooking as well hahaha. I can only imagine we cook curry in that kitchen hahaha=)
Thanks for bringing it up!!

Was looking forward to this!! Thanks for producing. Keep it up
Thanks for watching Xie Yu !! I really appreciate it=)
Just wow, the marble in the bathroom, the floor, the finishing all superb. Also the layout in the second unit is very different but in a very good way.
Yea. It's odd hence I wanted to show you guys hahaha. But you're absolutely right about the degree of marble furnishings...
I feel that the closet being bathroom, albeit beautiful, is a bit problematic for our climate. Imagine finding mold on your expensive bajus, or bags!
Sharing from experience, the wardrobe next / very near to the drainage will be a good nest for silverfish & cockroaches. Even with pest control floor traps, silverfish will still be able to come up and would love it if the room isn’t well ventilated.

Yes, mind blown! Can't wait to see the facility decks when they're finished. Great vlog, Sean!!
Yea, me too. I can't wait for the floating deck of swimming pool. Hopefully I will get to spend a night there haha=)
Anyway, thanks for watching!!
Now the construction had been stopped, what's ur opinion on those abandoned construction?

Istg i was already impressed by the pavilion suites. But this one ah.. crazy to think what ppl could afford.
The cool thing is this is still not the highest priced property in Malaysia=)
Thanks for watching Huzafah!
Great video, Sean. Will you be visiting the property after construction has completed? To verify against the showroom quality.
I would definitely pay a visit once it's completed. We can only feel the total experience of hospitality by then. Surely can't wait to stay a night in Kempinski too:)
Pricey but very nice, Sean always keep my dream going.
Yea. And it's good to have these luxury addresses as targets hahaha=)
Thanks for watching Mingco!!
Sean, Really Really Really hope you can make a review on "One Stonor". Thanks in advance.
I'll try my best to check it out yea David=)
Oops, not sure why the algorithm recommended me this now lol 😂
Fuiyooh...gleaming with atas’ness wei
I love your video keep up the good work i learn so many things good job 👍♥️👍
So happy to hear that Nizam. Thanks for watching!!
damn, this is one crazy ass awesome residence. wow

Hi Sean, any new projects at KLCC, with a golf course or park view please?
Have you checked out Aria?
iherng yes I have but don't like it, looking for more luxurious type.
KL would be alot better if we build more public walkway like the pavilion-klcc and lrt-ktm pasar seni ones,...costly yet pedestrian friendly bcs the amount of smoke n dust from the very wide city road traffic plus the heat demotivates ppl from walking,,even from a station to another..thus more traffic
this time really 8 con你

Hi Sean! Any chance to have a review on Agile Bukit Bintang?
Review HOC2020 project, truly property influencer. nice content btw

Brand association?
Been to a condo of a chest thumping designed by Norman Foster and tell you what, it screwed up big time. It gives you hell a lot of leaking due to too much of curtain wall system.
Pray this one won't have such problems.
What is ratio of local and non local purchases thus far?
People who buy these kinda property does not care about the odd layout, psf price, tiny kitchen .. IMO, They look at designers brand, their status upgrade of owning 1 unit here, adding 1 of the designer service residence into one of their list..
Is this site, 8 Conlay was actually the site for the The Harrods Hotel, which was scrapped by the Qatari investor ? Anyone knows ?
Unfortunately I have no idea Fuad.
Too fancy for ppl like me. But I enjoyed watching you geek out over all the details.
Hahahaha!!! I like the term 'geek out'. It really an eye opening experience for me=)
Thanks for watching sis!!
In the one who supervise this project structure and im proud of it 😝
You should be. It's so complicated in such a constrained site=)
hope you still get paid for your work
Issues with the website contact form, can't submit enquiry
wa.link/omc2i6
This is the link directly to their team yea=)
Heard that this project was abandoned, is it true?
Based on the news so far, apparently it is.
8 Conlay project failure? What will happen to buyer?
It's not a failure yet until the project is delayed in accordance to the SPA. So most probably there might be a new investor and a new contractor, so let's see=)
Sean.. can u pls review kundang estate citron unit .. i would like to hear your review
8:07 Sean really gone wild with all this transition 😂😂
is there any condo better than this ? what do your views vs star residence ?

I wish he review properties budget around 200k - 400k

Kelly Wearstler is much better designer when come to condo living...I think...saw her work in nyc here😁😁

It's okay man. Let's work hard together yea!!
goooooooooooooood
Review BBCCKL, please.
I used to work in RSP Singapore. Its definitely not as branded as you thought it should be. haha
Working and owning is different, we are all mere slaves
Perfection
Nice and modern ..👍
Heard unfortunate news about this project. Kesian the owners.
:(
woaaahhhhh!
Kelly Hoppen 👍
what would be the rent of this property which i believe sells from a starting point of MYR 2.5 million?
I'm not surprised that they would just leave it empty since it's not for income generation, but as a trophy collection instead=)
Malaysia very funny, got many nice buildings, but the road surface like shit... Potholes everywhere, like after earthquake or post-war...
8 Conlay is in boiling water now, 🔥
already gg
I’ve been to this show unit as well and many others but these show units are designed and built to make it nice for selling. Actual units will be very poor quality as always. Malaysia construction level is way far from global standard.

10 tier above conlay residence. But density is too high. 3300 psf is definitely only the crazy rich Asian can afford
