Analysis
Gaya has received tremendous response from buyers. The Phase
1 that comprises 2 blocks was 80% sold after 2 weeks. Due to the good response,
the Phase 2 was launched just a month afterwards. Among the reasons of the good
response is good sales package by the developer. The developer offered
Developer Interest Bearing Scheme (DIBS) with 12 months interest free for the
10% down payment. Plus, special rate of BLR minus 2.3% is also offered to
buyers.
Besides that, 3 commercial blocks were sold as en bloc. It
was reported that Block 2 to was sold to a European multi-national company,
while Block 5 and 8 were sold to a Singaporean investor. Hopefully, these
investors will bring in business and help to grow the area into a business hub.
However, many investors have a doubt on the success rate of
Gaya. One of the issues raised is Sime Darby’s reputation which the developer
has failed in several commercial developments such as Ara Damansara’s shop
lots, Putra Height’s Medan Putra and USJ 25 – whereby these commercial areas
are not flourishing as planned. The failure is because of Sime Darby’s main
focus on only selling the properties, unlike some reputable developers which
will keep few units for prime tenants to become the anchor.
Besides that, supply is another issue because there are several
new high-rise residential developments nearby such as Saville, 3 Residen, K
Club Residence and the massive Platinum Victory’s Platinum Hill Series
condominiums (such as Platinum Hill PV5 and Platinum Hill PV3) in Taman Melati.
