Past 15months has been a rollercoaster ride for most property owners especially landlords. Unlike US subprime crisis in 2008, SARS in 2003 and Sept 11 attack that hit global economy badly but not Malaysia, suffice to say this is one of the longest and worst crisis since 1998 Asia Financial Crisis. That’s a good 22 years span.
Covid-19 crisis hit all property segments from retail, office, hospitality and residential. The residential segment for primarily affected by expatriates that fled the country, local workers that either lost their jobs or go back go back hometown while waiting for recovery. Coupled with closing and reopening of economy/industry/travel for past 15 months, it is quite difficult for anyone to make any plan.
Back to Rica Sentul, the owners received VP notification few months ago. PropcafeTM did a write up on on Propcafe way back in 2016. Do click Rica Sentul review by Propcafe as refresher and comparison especially the façade.
From PropcafeTM’s observation, the actual façade is quite assembling the scale model. The guardhouse, carpark vertical shades, sizes and ratio of the window against overall façade, aircon ledge shades, vertical and horizontal ledge/fin and color tone are quite similar to the scale model. However, the greeneries in sky gardens are starkly missed from the actual product.
