IOI to launch Skypod Residence @ Puchong Jaya, Puchong

It is been few months we saw IOI set up the notice board in front their site which is directly located behind IOI business park, the series of yellow building with black hat on top just opposite IOI Mall.

This time IOI has come up with another idea on Puchong Jaya after have building enough (or over supply) of shop houses and office space, they going to build a service apartment on there.

Service apartment, with the retail lot downstairs and 640 units of residential units upstairs. Is impressive as the location is just walking distance to most of the Puchong Jaya happening area, such as IOI Mall, IOI Boulevard, IOI Business park and all those banks and restaurants which arranged neatly in front your residence,

Some quick brief quote from IOI website:

Total Residential unit: 640 units

Built up: from 632 sf - 1220 sf
Block A: ~ 366 units
~ 16 units per floor
~ 6 lifts

Block B: ~ 274 units
~ 12 units per floor
~ 4 lifts

Total Retails: 20 units
Total Retail Offices: 40 units
Total Shops: 8 units

However the price is more impressive when we try to make calls to IOI office to find out what is the indicative price, they mentioned it's about RM 500 per sf and of course you will know what it means for "indicative price"

Then we start to received notification SMS and facebook update from IOI that the price is starting from RM 383,000 for the smallest unit (should be), which is about 632 sf, and when you put all this in your calculation, it's about RM 600++ per sf.

WOW!! That's is a quantum leap on the price, if you can compare to Sutramas condominium, which was build by IOI as well and same row with the going to be Skypod Residence, it's about RM 250-300 per sf, and the size is starting from 1000 sf ++

However, whether it's worth it to buy or not, still leave to you folks to decide, the official launching going to be tomorrow and you can pay a visit to busy around, and take care with your loan ability before signing anything.
