The first thing that would catch the eye of buyers would be the large units that are on offer from Berjaya Condominium. Not only that, the many various layouts give them a nice headache in term of purchasing the right one. Throw in the long list of facilities that will be built, Berjaya Condominium is living up to its 'condominium' status. Plus, the low number of units will give a crowd-less atmosphere to the building, and that cannot be a bad thing. Some of the feedbacks of Berjaya Condominium has been centred on how costly this condominium is to purchasers. The credibility of the developer has also come under scrutiny. Some say this property's predecessor (Seri Jaya Apartment) has exhibited low quality construction, while others have mentioned that all of projects under this company have been successful and sold out. The company does have a strong portfolio, however, with more developments in Penang and the northern area of Malaysia.Although it is a bit too much on the financial side, maybe the fact that Berjaya Condominium is in an ever-expanding Penang can abate that concern. Although this is in the mainland area of Penang and not the island, the island is fast running out of space for properties, hence the attention will spill onto the mainland too. Maybe a buy would be good for those who aim to stay there, and those who are buying for the sake of investment might want to investigate the surrounding area and the developer even more.
