Analysis

A’Marine has recorded good sales even before launch. This luxury condo was at 70% sold out before the official launch. It was pre-launched at price starting from RM550 psf and 10% increment starting on the day of official launch. If you intend to purchase a unit, perhaps you should consider Tower B which is preferred due to its lower density feature with only 5 units per floor and a total of 105 units, and commands lake and swimming pool views.

Meanwhile, Tower A of A’Marine comprises 137 units (with 6 units per floor) and does not have lake view. However, the smallest size-units (1,306 sf onwards) are housed in Tower A. Units in Tower B start from 1,500 sf onwards.

Even though A’Marine was launched after Nautica, but the former was priced at lower launch price as Nautica was launched at RM600 psf. Nautica was sold en-bloc to a group of Korean investors. The price (per sf) of A’Marine is cheaper because the unit does not come with kitchen cabinet, hood and hob – which Nautica is partly furnished with these furnishings. A’Marine is also considered one of the best condos in Sunway.
