Sunsuria Forum Property Analysis

Sunsuria Forum is a well-integrated development that caters to every aspect of residents’ modern living needs and demands. Featuring retail units and a 31-storey corporate office tower in the hustling township of Shah Alam, residents and investors could expect a positive growth value over time. Both Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites and Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites guarantee some relief in a hectic and fast-paced life by offering facilities in nearby proximity such as Setia City Mall, Lotus Setia Alam, Columbia Asia Hospital Klang, Setia Alam Community Trail Head, and IDRISSI International School, and countless expressway accesses such as Guthrie Corridor Expressway, and New Klang Valley Expressway. An abundance of amenities within the development including the Lifestyle Mall further ensures residents’ and tenants’ time and cost saving in carrying out grocery chores and simple errands.

Target Market

Soho Forum has its own perks in attracting urbanites and upper-class families who yearn for a balance between working and living. Incorporating corporate offices, residential areas, and retail lots, this development offers the opportunity for residents to indulge in the benefit of owning a perfect home in a well-developed township. Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites is suitable for single working professionals, expats, students, young couples, and small families.

On the other hand, Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites is more fitting for large households as the layout is more spacious compared to the former. Further, this mixed-development is great for investment purposes. By offering two types of residences in the same vicinity, Sunsuria Bhd is coherently competent in providing a holistic living space. Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites and Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites suggest different starting prices, yet both can be considered affordable and justified. Taking into account the desirable location, practical layout, cohesive security system, and myriad of amenities, both residences share almost the same advantages despite the price range.

Competitor Analysis

Soho Forum’s residences are similar to nearby properties including Huni D’ @ Eco Ardence, Setia City Residences, and Trefoil @ Setia City. These 3 high-rises were chosen for the purposes of competitor’s analysis of Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites and Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites due to their factors of being residential buildings in proximity.

Setia City Residences offer the best price per square foot at RM320 which is relatively modest considering its prime location in Setia Alam. This price tag is followed by Huni D’ @ Eco Ardence and Trefoil @ Setia City; yet the asking of the latter development can be perceived as excessive due to its earlier completion date of 2015. The highest selling price in this discussion would be Sunsuria Forum development. Despite carrying a higher selling price than other developments, Sunsuria Forum’s residences are nearby corporate offices and Lifestyle Mall, thus justifying these prices.

Moving on to the population density, the freehold Huni D’ Eco Ardence sets the highest score with 1,728 units of serviced apartments in two 32-storey towers. Trefoil @ Setia City follows with a total density of 1,497 units in 2 SOFO towers. In contrast, the living density at Setia City Residences is the lowest with only 780 units across 3 towers. The Sunsuria Forum residences are very much similar in terms of total density; Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites contains 653 units, and Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites has 568 units, hence showcasing 1,221 units within the same development.

Next, tracking the past record of the developers, S P Setia Bhd of Setia City Residences and Trefoil @ Setia City is reputed as the most esteemed developer with a total winning of 14 awards at The Edge Malaysia Top Property Developers Awards. This concludes the others – Sunsuria Forum and Eco World – as not yet reaching the same level of recognition as S P Setia Bhd. However, Sunsuria Berhad is notably an established property developer with an extensive portfolio of development, including various residential, commercial, and industrial property projects within Klang Valley, Salak Tinggi, and Putrajaya South.

Furthermore, by taking the completion year into perspective, Huni D’ @ Eco Ardence presents the best return in the long run as it is expected to be completed in 2023; investors would find this residence to be more appealing considering its affordable price and later completion date. Even so, Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites and Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites are also similar in this aspect, as they plan to open up for residency in December 2023. A significant profit growth can be presumed due to their comprehensive amenities and facilities around the development. In taking note of the earlier completion dates of Setia City Residences and Trefoil @ Setia City, of 2020 and 2015, respectively – an earlier completion date speculates lesser profit growth.

Setia City Residence by S P Setia Berhad offers the best selling price at RM275,000 for 858 sq. ft. units, but the completion year is earlier than Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites, Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites, and Huni D’ @ Eco Ardence. Due to this reason, Setia City Residence and Trefoil @ Setia City would eventually run a lower market value over time. Nonetheless, Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites and Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites are competitive in terms of their amenities and facilities offered such as the 24-hour multi-tiered security system, functional-spacious layout, low-density living, Lifestyle Mall, and Corporate Offices, hence translates to a higher value and prestige in the city of Setia Alam.

Below is a table to compare Sunsuria Forum’s respective values in the prestige township of Setia Alam.

Development	Built-up area (sq. ft.)	Selling Price	Price PSF	Land Tenure	Completion Year
Sunsuria Forum SOHO Suites	441 – 904	From RM 298,000	RM675	Freehold	2023
Sunsuria Forum Residential Suites	894 – 1195	From RM 509,600	RM570	Freehold	2023
Huni D’ @ Eco Ardence	570 – 1000	From RM 285,000	RM500	Freehold	2023
Setia City Residences	858 – 1221	From RM 275,000	RM320	Freehold	2020
Trefoil @ Setia City	485 – 791	From RM 240,000	RM494	Freehold	2015
