Project Development Progress in Aug 2010




Taken several site pictures of Five Stones showing its latest development progress during early August 2010. The show-rooms were no longer available, they were knocked down few months back to make way for speedy SDB's development.

Five Stones building plan, no idea why they removed the rest of the information related to the main con, architect, etc.

THOSE looking to buy a condominium or service apartment around Petaling Jaya maybe hard pressed in the next several months ... or maybe not.

For those looking for something exclusive, property developer Selangor Dredging Bhd will be launching the last two blocks of its Five Stones project in the first quarter of next year. Prices begin from RM490 per sq ft, compared with RM450 per sq ft when the five-block project was first launched in August. The first phase, which comprises a 38-storey block, a four-storey block and a 15-storey block, is today 90% sold. The entire project will have 377 units.

Its managing director Teh Lip Kim says the two blocks will have a total of 192 units with built-up of 2,000 sq ft in Block E (36-storey high) and 2,900 sq ft in Block D (25-storey). Teh says the company will have a private launch before Chinese New Year next year, which falls in February. The 25-storey villa block will differ slightly from the previous launch. It will have a lanai and a broad passage – what Teh calls a breezeway – between the entrance and the living area. “The old traditional houses have very good cross ventilation and we are going to incorporate this. Besides these two extra features, in terms of design, the unit remains about the same,” she says. She says Five Stones will be setting a new benchmark for condominiums in Petaling Jaya.

Chan Ai Cheng ... ‘The company (Selangor Dredging) is essentially targeting families, the owner-occupier market, which is why the built-up is pretty large.’

“Most of the developments come with a pool and some facilities. With Five Stones, there is a one-acre park, a pool, basketball and badminton courts. Residents will be able to enjoy the facilities and the park without having to leave the safety and security of the community,” she says.

The company is also offering a 10/90 scheme where buyers pay 10% and the stamp duty for the loan documentation subject to bank approval. Installment begins three years later for the remaining 90%. The interest has already been factored into the price of the unit. Those who are paying cash will have a 3% rebate, she says. When the project was first launched, its smallest unit, at 1,700sq ft, was sold for about RM800,000.

Selangor Dredging also developed Ameera, which is situated next to Five Stones. Ameera was launched three years ago at RM290 per sq ft. That project is now 100% sold, with the last unit going at RM410 per sq ft.
“SS2 is undervalued when compared with Mont’Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, and Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya. SS2 is an established area and very central, like Mont’Kiara,” she says.

S.K. Brothers Realty (M) Sdn Bhd general manager Chan Ai Cheng says RM490 per sq ft seems a bit steep but for those who want the location and a project of that category, they do not have much of a choice. Says Chan: “If you want something new and in that location, that is the only thing at the moment. There are the Ken I, II and III developments, with the best being Ken II.

Developers are improving their offerings. The company (Selangor Dredging) is essentially targeting families, the owner-occupier market, which is why the built-up is pretty large. Their audience are those who are already in the Petaling Jaya, or specifically in a double-storey landed unit in SS2, and who now wants the security of such an environment,” she says.

The SS2 market is different from the Damansara Perdana market, which is predominantly a tenant market, she says. There is also no gated and guarded projects in SS2, which appeals to home buyers today, she says.
Teh Lip Kim ... ‘Residents will be able to enjoy the facilities and the park without having to leave the safety and security of the community.’

“The main thing is access. On that same road, there is Ameera, Five Stones, Ken III and Jasmine Towers.

There will also be a mall development there with double-storey housing on the other side of the road. This means residents in that area will have to go through housing area to get to their destination if congestion builds up,” says Chan.

Another source from a real estate agency says it is difficult to talk about pricing because the project has not been built. “There is nothing to compare it with at the moment but it will be high-density for that location once it is completed,” he says.

Besides Five Stones, other developments in that area include Casa Suites and The Tropics, both by Dijaya Corp Bhd. Casa Suites is already completed and a unit with a built-up of 675 sq ft is currently going for about RM330,000. There are units with built-up of nearly 700 sq ft and about 800 sq ft available. The larger units, however are priced close to RM400,000.

Five Stones Specifications




Five Stones Environment


Five Stones is a freehold luxury condominium project by Selangor Dredging Berhad (SDB). Strategically located in the heart of SS2, Petaling Jaya and adjacent to another SDB's project, Ameera. Around the corner is the gleaming Tropicana City Mall and upcoming SS2 Mall.

Five Stones comprises of five towers - 3 low-rise villas and 2 high-rise condominium from 4 to 38-storeys block encircling half an acre of conceptual landscape. The varying heights of the towers paint a truly dramatic vista in this well-loved residential suburb. With each unit featuring a built-up that is no less than 1,800sf, Five Stones breaks new ground in high-rise living with each unit feeling as spacious as a landed home. The floor layout of Five Stones boldly defy convention with as few as two or four apartments per floor, and every apartment created as a corner unit.

As you arrive at the main entrance, you will immediately notice how the elegant simplicity of the building design complements the surrounding landscape. And when you step into the open, double volume waiting lounge that leads into The Garden, you will immediately realize that living at Five Stones is an experience that beckons you home again, and again.

The unique design of Five Stones is centred on the concept of community living while at the same time ensuring personal privacy. As such, the units located in the two tower blocks are elevated off the ground, while the low and mid-rise blocks are discreetly tucked away from the public areas.

Privacy is further enhanced by the layout of each apartment. The tower blocks consist of four apartments per floor, each set around the lift core and away from each other. The mid and low-rise blocks have an even greater exclusivity with only two units per floor. This very low density configuration makes Five Stones a true rarity in Petaling Jaya.

Distinctive features are dedicated Clubhouse with 14-table multi-function hall, fitness area with a dynamic gym, a basketball court and two badminton courts, imported children's playground equipment, a tranquil 30-metre rectangular pool, a 12-metre children's pool and 24hr gated security.

About Five Stones




Five Stones SS2


The Simple Promise of Life at Five Stones

The unique design of Five Stones is unique among the many condominiums in Petaling Jaya. Sensitively planned to assimilate with the natural contours of its surroundings, Five Stones comprises five blocks of low and mid-rise villas and high-rise condominiums, overlooking a tranquil garden shaded by Angsanas, and an accompanying multi-function "active" zone of supporting facilities.

To be developed in two stages, Five Stones comprises five condominium towers rising from 4 to 38 storeys encircling half an acre of conceptual landscape. The varying heights of the towers paint a truly dramatic vista in this well-loved residential suburb. With each unit featuring a built-up that is no less than 1,800 square feet, Five Stones breaks new ground in high-rise living with each unit feeling as spacious as a landed home.

Peace of Mind

At Five Stones, we put emphasis on creating an extraordinary living experience for our residence. Holistic experiences that you can never put a price on. Such as the reassurance of an earthquake-resistant structure that conforms to, not only Malaysia's building codes, but also British, American and Indonesian Seismic design codes. The tranquility and interactivity of an exquisitely designed garden by renowned landscape designer, Dr. Colin Okashimo, and the inspirational artworks by Britain's leading multimedia artist – David Hiscock – adorning the porte cocheres, lift lobbies and selected common areas.

(David Hiscock is regarded as one of the 30 top photographers of the last 30 years, and has worked with Donna Karan, Sir Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Harvey Nichols, Hyatt Hotels and Nike.)
