Analysis

The developers’ parent company is the Masteron Group. The company was established since 1981, and Masteron Group has had over 32 years of experience in the field of property development. Among their completed high-rise condominium developments within the area of Puchong are Koi Tropika, Koi Legian and Koi Kinrara, and the currently ongoing Koi Prima development. The feedback received for Masteron’s workmanship turns out to be mixed. Certain purchasers have had bad experiences with them whereas others felt that they were an honest company selling at reasonable prices.
The location of the development is certainly ideal; and the future phases planned by Masteron would most likely be carried out without many hitches as companies don’t survive in a particular industry for decades without knowing what they are doing. As Puchong would see a significant upgrade in terms of infrastructure as the planned LRT rail is expected to go right through the area, significant appreciation in the future is to be expected. Furthermore, Lake Side City is one of the numerous large scale developments in the area, the potential for capital appreciation can clearly be seen.

Analysis

Many are optimistic towards the future price appreciation of Bizwalk with the completion of the The Wharf Residence and also its strategic location being surrounded by matured residential estates. Not only that, it is easily accessible due to the completion of the interchange at the 14th mile Puchong as well as the new interchange at the Taman Tasik Prima’s north entrance.
The Wharf is also situated within a short drive’s away from the many townships in Puchong, which is also another plus point as this will further add to the potential consumer flow to the area once it is in full operation.
As for the residential units, the majestic lake view is a huge selling point for many as it is really hard to find a residence with a view like the ones at The Wharf. And with the Bizwalk and lifestyle mall in completion in the future, the values of the residential units are expected to increase.
