Lumi Tropicana is a mixed development located close to the intersection between Ara Damansara, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Kota Damansara and Tropicana which is just excellent in terms of accessibility and connectivity. Also to note that this area is considered to be the 'high end' area due to the mansions around Tropicana Golf and Country Club.
As the building is sandwiched between the busy intersection, office buildings and the upcoming MRT track and highway, it's definitely gonna be noisy. Hence the architect designed a huge buffer away from the road, then having the four towers covering the facilities deck. Also, they allocated around 60% of the land area as empty space for residents to enjoy.
However, the interior treatments are subjected to individual preferences. The design approach is somewhat controversial as it's borderline art and unfurnished. The structural elements and heavy cement rendered surfaced can be overwhelming to certain buyers. Besides, the partially tiled washrooms, L shaped windows, absence of skirtings, and the application of single marble texture across the unit seems peculiar as well.
I like the extensiveness of the facilities provided although not all might be practical, as well as the effort of the developer who is constantly improving the existing space and infrastructures.
few things i hate about the interior: 1) messy tiling design with dizzying pattern (when this kind of tiles are meant for highlighting), 2) 80s design of the balcony when you can do it away with a transparent reinforced glass with chromed railing, 3) real small bedrooms with unusual windows, can foresee poor wind flow but adequate sunlight which could in turns hamper sleep quality, 4) wasted space in the master bedroom, too large the space and the low utilise balcony, the space can be used to make 2nd and 3rd bedrooms larger, 5) small-sized of the kitchen when this layout is supposed to cater for a bigger family with daily cooking..
i am in awe with the facade. truly one of kind!
Happy CNY to you & your family. Thanks for your awesome videos!!
For a high end property, the solid balcony (considering overlooking golf course too), tiny kitchen/bathrooms and low ceiling seems very weird.
Yupe. The architectural detailings are kinda peculiar haha. Thanks for watching Timothy:)
Thanks for another great review. The various designs on different parts of the property give me the impression that different parts of the building were designed by different team of designers. The lower level parking area reminds me of affordable housing. While the upper parking area reminds me of a commercial building. The facility deck looks great ; minus the noise. Finally, the unit is a bit white-ish.
Nice review! The biggest turn off for me would be the balcony wall, feels very chunky especially with the choice of dark color. Very wasted that they decided to block the view 😨
Great vid as always. So many compliments in this vid tho. I think you missed out to mention LRT3 is passing behind LUMI once its operational that will add to the already noisy traffic.
You're absolutely right!! The noise is one of the setback for this project. Thanks for watching Zanif=)
The toilet is obviously cutting material cost. When your toilet is so small, there is no way you can clearly separate dry and wet. The water won't splash there, but the vapour will make the wall paint yellow. A million ringgit property, this type of finishing. Bad.
Yes, the toilet design is so wrong and not practical, imagine the slippery flooring when it is wet
Very modern looking, however, the bed room size seems small and some minor detailing issues. The view is definitely awesome.
Thanks for your review.
Love the facade and facilities!! The biggest unit has a much better layout and a really big bath tub :)
Good review Sean. Can you review Ryan & Miho as well?
Balcony seems to prioritise building exterior asthethic, so golfer don't have to see inconsistent balcony usage.
well， it's gonna be more jammmmmm！！！！！！at the crossroad right there！！！
Popular places usually all are congested Terrance. But thanks for highlighting.
Another promising thing to consider is Lien Hoe is one of a candidate/reserved station for LRT 3 if Damansara Idaman station down the road proof to be successful. This...depend on architectural layout to the station, may allow connectivity with LRT in the future.
From far looks very nice but it's so new and it's spiral car park ramp is already stained, imagine a few yrs down the road
Very nice place with great facilities. But a few turn off for me like low ceiling, narrow walk way to BR, small sizes of rooms and kitchen. And the major turn off is the quality of the doors, knock knock it, it sounds like low cost house, even the main door is the same. Gosh, 1 million property. Alamak, haha. Thanks for great video, Sean.
Solid balcony, small room, 2.6m height 1million wow my god..you would often see 5 star hotel having that dry untiled area..but that only makes sense if your toilet is big. The facility deck is awesome..but i find the swimming pool and some roof top facility seems impracticable? Narrow space for pool walking area..common dining space..even the gym area is small.
Between this, Bangsar Hill Park and Sunway Belfield projects which would a better lifestyle condo?
Hi Sean. Thanks for continuing to do these videos. I love watching them. I live in San Diego, California USA but have Malaysia high on my list of places to visit/live someday. By the way, what kind of watch are you wearing? And Happy New Year!
I believe it's a Rolex GMT II Coke :)
Its omega sea master if not mistaken, from where i read in other video
Amazing facilities and the view too. But 2 balconies is an overkill. Prefer to cut out the 2nd balcony space and to increase the interior space. The kitchen is so small, the small bedroom windows is very weird, headache to select the curtains of choice. The non-tiles in the bathroom, where got separation wet or dry 1… the kids doesn’t care. If they have the chance, they will spray water to the whole bathroom.
Hi Sean, need to know your take on Gamuda Cove. Please do a review on the property. Need your advice. Tq
Great insights on the ceiling height. It is better to be practical rather than artsy when it comes to bathroom design. Malaysian will usually wet the whole bathroom especially kids who love play with water. The demarcation becomes irrelevant as they will just spray water everywhere. Full height wall tiles are the way to go.
Good insight by Sean also. Now I know what floor skirtings are for….to make mopping easier 😀
So many facilities but with the low number of units means that the monthly maintenance is going to kill the owners in a long run. Also, i can already forsee the problems with the musical instruments with irresponsible tenants/owners.
I share similar concerns too but they're partnering with Yamaha so it's not entirely open to public. Hence I think it's still manageable.
cigar room. nice!
How does higher ceiling car park give you prestigious ambient for the larger unit tenants? Ain’t the compliant ceiling height parking bay is sufficient for all? Redundant, that is.
Man, been hunting for investment properties, but this review makes me wanna drop my investment idea to get this for own stay
Omg that balcony......
Thank you Sean. By watching your videos, i don't have to visit that property. Save my time and money $$$...
That's the whole idea hahaha. Thanks for watching Yoong Chuen=)
The more facilities the more the unit owners will have to pay for maintenance, personally I prefer minimum basic facilities
For visitor just want to take picture can go in?no ticket? Supermarket open already?
the untiled bathroom wall right outside the shower area its gonna get wet and grow mold, you're confident in your marking of wet and dry areas, but you failed to account for human carelessness for the lack of a better word. the shower screen will not help keep the dry area dry judging by the size of the shower area, water are gonna splash out easily.
Well technically it's the designer and developer, not me. But thanks for sharing your take Chiang.
Former state table tennis player😏
pacific star just gotten vp, can do review for next project
Hi Sean….great review. Just one thing, you mentioned that it’s 950 psf but iProperty it’s closer to 750psf. Any particular reason?
Is that directly from the developer or subsale yea? Also, is it including all the discounts?
Seems like a really nice unit for own stay.
Nice development but I'll say the biggest turnoff is the balcony and bathroom design. It also feels a bit too commercial to make it a home IMO. Would've probably considered this property otherwise.
The highway just across the property is a turn off. I forsee the noise will be an issue. The condo units seem a bit too small and the bathrooms are oddly designed. Definitely a no from me. But thanks for the review
Thanks for sharing your view Lavannia=)
Cannot make it this place...... Gosh.....
Does the car park comes with dedicated EV charging facility for each tenant ?
Long time no see
=)
Nothing to shout about considering this is a product from a well known, reputable developer in a very high class address. The interior design, layout and furnishing is not worth it with RM950/sqf.
This illustrates a very good point of personal preference. You might think you’re getting everything you want from a 1 million property, but instead you’re getting what the DEVELOPER WANTS.
Ugly balcony, small kitchen (not even a yard given), small third room, no skirtings, ugly windows (imo).
It can be 500k and i will still think twice. (Leaving the address and facilities out of the equation)
Will the LRT3 Tropicana station be built?
Not here but there will be a station down in Ara Damansara.
Nice place but I can't bear the traffic noise. 🙉
Yea. It's important to know that before buying then:)
Thanks for watching Mora!!
I am living in high rise beside a major highway of KESAS in KL, the traffic noise make people feel sick and unable to rest, be prepared to spend more money on replacing all the windows with proper soundproofing windows.
Malaysia or KL its so over-built so many many condos, real estate Scary when the bubble bursts
Many said the bubble already burst. But young people still couldn't buy house due to the increasing prices.
Amazing location and nice facilities but the type B kitchen layout is a little weird and stuffy for me? Don't think its suitable to typical heavy stir frying cooking with that kinda layout tbh
Yupe. The kitchen layout is pretty standard, but they don't have yard so take note. Usually we still can have a small outdoor cooking area but in this layout, totally cannot.
Thanks for watching pewpew!!
I almost bought this place lol
U dodged a bullet bro. Check out my comment on what my friend had to go through
@@jjandrooney what happened???i want to know 😁
@@jjandrooney mind sharing?
Class action. Lawsuits. That's all I can say.
Waa kaya sia Mr Dan
Whoever design the residential units layout must be "shoik sendiri" case🤣
Well it's a combination of ideas between the architect and client.
Thanks for watching 😁
could review sunway dhill?
Let me try to make some calls haha:)
Thanks for watching!!
Phase One A1n B1 have better tiles in the unit
Nice facilities but the unit seems a little underwhelming for what you are paying. The narrow corridor, the low ceiling.
Thanks for sharing Poke;)
wow...i love this review n property....feels sooo SG...so many of the treatments n layout somewhat feels like a typical SG condo...the Pool is amazing for laps to infinity i guess....the public theater space is no doubt affected by traffic noise-so,best suited to watch Fast n Furious franchise kind of movies,u knw to mask the vehicles noises with its own poison!nice tiles-but yup,over-extended use to too many areas...lost of exclusivity...units with rooms facing corridor is a NO-NO for me...n all the magnificently amazing facilities is spoiled by the property being "Leasehold",n its 1 mil?duhh...such a spoiler!hope the reserve forest is not raped -spoils the view!
i was told the design architect was RT+Q frm SG haha
@@sean-eo1wm a-haaa....tu dia...architect minds think alike...the interior layout done by Msian designer ker?
@@nazrojean7128 no idea, should be done by the same architect kot. but 1 thing, all properties in that area are leasehold, including the big bungalows :D
@@sean-eo1wm oic...ok!hope the land can convert to freehold
Gosh the noise pollution is horrible! How can people tahan 😅😅😅 somemore 950/sqft! 😵😵😵
If developer's interest is only catering the best for buyer of bigger unit so why bother buying here where u feel the double standard. What if an issue arise later, they definitely play who-bought-bigger-unit game.Just saying 🤣Definitely new kind of racism lol😂.anyway thanks for the great n honest review. Thumbs up.👍
Well it only makes sense to treat your important clients better right?
Anyway, thanks for watching.
@@iherng 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah but not immediately. The first impression is already a 'capital' double standard😂😂.
Mostly project in damasara only suit for “atas”
Lets work hard together yea:)
Thanks for watching!!
Just wondering if this residence is belong to residential title or commercial title?
It’s commercial and hence the sprinkler inside the unit also
@@CH-mu5ji isn't it residential title ?
whoah, just the looks from outside tells me its going to be good. but yea, balcony choice... hmmm, too bad. the unit itself looks rather cramped hmmmm..... wasted
I wonder how much would be the monthly maintenance fees for this...
Its 33 cents if not mistaken.
Hahahaa lol 33cent
Vinyl flooring ??? This kind of premium property should use actual timber flooring….
I would argue engineered timber instead of full actual timber due to its maintenance. But I get your point. Thanks for watching 😁
Such a shame the unit design is soooo bad imo lol. RM1m for that, come onnnn 😂
Where is lumi tropicana
Tropicana... PJ. Hahaha=)
Which part of pj
Lumi tropicana at tropicana.hhahaha
Such an ugly balcony wall. Looks like from the 90s. Corridor in the unit is so narrow. And the worse is its leasehold. If its cheap then nvm. But its not cheap. Can get much better property elsewhere especially in Mont Kiara.
Wow, listen to that heavy NOISE POLUTTION! Good view, and modern raw dark architecture. But, I cannot stand the NOISE.
Yupe. And this experience shows the importance of having site visits:)
Thanks for watching 😁
Really ugly flooring
Well it's up to interpretation haha. Thanks for watching=)
I want to sell my unit, bumi lot. Block A2 level 5 facing the garden. 862 sq feet. RM800k. Fully furnished. Well kept. Great deal.
