My View:
The price/ft2 is about the same compare to Casa Tropika and Calisa M @ Puchong.

Calisa M @ Puchong is developed by Masteron too. You should go visit this to see the difference and find out the reasons why Koi Prima (Phase 1) is approx. 6% higher in terms of price/ft2 (price changes in 4 months++?).

Total units comparison:
  • Koi Prima (Phase 1) ~ 550 units
  • Calisa M @ Puchong ~ 156 units
Wonder why the price/ft2 is higher when it has more units & higher density?

If you compare it with Condos in Cyberjaya, the price/ft2 for Koi Prima (Phase 1) is much lower, approx. 21 to 33% lower, as shown above (excluding Serin Residency). Cyberjaya is further away from KLCC compare to Puchong. So is it worth to pay extra 21 to 33%  for Condos in Cyberjaya?

Based on 90% loan for RM320,000, say BLR6.6%-2.4% = 4.2% interest per annum, for 30 years. The monthly repayment is approx. RM1,408. If you are planning to buy & rent out for investment, you need to consider:

Will ppl willing to pay more than RM1,408 per month to rent a place in Puchong?

Don't forget the approx. monthly repayment of RM1,408 excludes following items:
a) Maintenance fees
b) Assessment tax
c) Quit rent
d) Interest rates increased for the loan (this is the main risk as BLR still low at the moment)

Buy & rent market, this is not a really good investment opportunity as you are targeting smaller group of people working in Puchong or nearby. For RM1,408/month, you can rent a similar size of condo in location nearer to KLCC. Maybe not a new one but does it really matter? To me people who rent normally will choose a place which is within their budget and closer to their work place.

For own stay & hoping to sell it with profits in the future, you will need to check out the surrounding. If it is a successful development like Sentul or Desa Park City, you will have more chance to sell it with profits in the future.
