The launch is expected to be this month and UOA is taking in registrations. Unit sizes start from 620sf up to 1100sf and from the look of the architect rendition, it's going to be one of those high density pigeon holes - 2 blocks with over 600 units per block!!
Indicative launch price is below RM1000psf and as with any launch these days, it will come with discounts. Nevertheless, do expect the smaller units to be around the RM1000psf price tag - similarly with KL Gateway, although the 2bedroom units were sold at RM650psf, the 1br studios went for almost RM1000psf. UOA's Southview expected to be more than that since it is Freehold. So who is going to rent or live there? The price of the 620sf units are expected at around RM650k and above - so it means the rent has to be over RM3,200/month to make it worthwhile.
I can absolutely say that Bangsar South is attracting many MNC's being a Multimedia Supercorridor Zone. The 2 major commercial complexes - Horizon and Vertical Suites should have a population of about 20,000 to 30,000 workers at the future peak, with a sizeable number of expats. With KL Gateway, Southview and future launches coming up, I think there will be a pool of at least 3,000 to 4,000 apartments in this area. It does point towards a glut but this depends on how Bangsar South will be able to attract tenants from neighbouring areas such as Bangsar, Midvalley and PJ, especially with competition from SP Setia's project nearby.
However, I can point out 2 key advantages of South View as an investment - Bangsar South's MSC status and the Freehold title. Expect this project to be a snatch when it launches this month.

Sin Leong, are you going to be in the priority invitation list? :-)
tough question..but i guess since KL gateway is sold out, it has to be South View
Gateway is leasehold, if I'm not mistaken.
yes, everything in bangsar south is leasehold except southview
