Have a feeling this is going to be a 3 part post i.e Good, Bad & Ugly of Genting Tiara. I like to start off with the bad things first and end on a good note.
The Ugly
None. Hahaha. . . . ! Ok, bad joke. But seriously, the only ugly things I can think of at this moment would be the topography of some of the bungalow lots and the type of ground that some of the bungalows would eventually sit on.
While it is understandable that most lots lie on slopes (well, it is a hillside development), some of these slopes can end with quite sharp drops. Hence, careful planning and extra cash would be required when building the dream bungalows on such lots to prevent any occurrence of soil erosion. Fortunately, on site observation at Genting Tiara revealed that most lots with such drops already have bungalows built or are having bungalows under construction and all of them have had the drops properly reinforced with retaining walls. As long as proper retaining walls are built, this should not be a problem at all to those who are going to construct their houses on these lots. Only difference being, a little more $$$ is needed for the retaining walls. Sometimes, we just cannot have the best of everything but it would be these lots which offer the best unobstructed views of the scenic rainforest hills of Genting and the beautiful night view of Genting Highlands resort city.
Most would expect the land that they buy to be a piece of earth/soil. Well, SURPRISE! Certain lots (thankfully just a handful) actually consist of rocks. Yes, an entire plot of land sitting on solid rock. Downside - more planning and $$$ needed to perhaps level the piece of land and to build the foundation of a house. Piling works are definitely going to be a lot easier on soft earth than on hard rocks. Upside - no worries of earth settlement : )
