Analysis

As Zen Residence is Sentral City’s first property project, many potential buyers could be worried and might have doubts on this new high rise development. Furthermore, with the current economy status, there is a certain level of risk to buy this new condo, since it is built by a new developer.

Though Zen Residence is located in the middle of Puchong, it is actually located in the less-developed area with kampung or villages within the vicinity. Thus, it is a significant factor to consider that there could be future developments coming up in the surrounding areas which could eventually increase the density of the area and traffic flow. For a high rise development, it is also important to ensure that there won’t be any future developments blocking the view from the units.

Pricing wise, for a leasehold condo located in a less-developed area, Zen Residence is deemed over-priced compared to another high rise development in the same area, Koi Tropika. However, if one were to compare the unit price against the facilities offered, as well as the quality or finishing (when the condo is completed), it could probably make a better justification.

Each unit of Zen Residence comes with a lanai. As most property owners prefer a lanai these days over a normal conventional balcony, this could be an extra advantage for Zen Residence. Further to that, the units also appeared spacious. Overall, this condo has an impressive concept and layout.

However, due to its location, as well as property developer’s background, potential property buyers would definitely think twice before booking a unit. If the surrounding areas are well developed (but not over-developed) with adequate access roads, perhaps Zen Residence would be a good catch for property investment. The existence of two graveyards within view of the upper units is also a hindrance to some property investors. Zen Residence is also considered one of the best luxury condos in Puchong .
