The verdict at D'Piazza is the whole-unit let at the value ask — a measured in-building book the portals barely carry: Mudah has no D'Piazza entity at all (the slug falls back to the Bayan Baru area feed, og:url-verified), and the building's three cards live on that feed: "RM 1,300 ... 2 Car Park 1100 sf Basic Reno ... 3 bed 2 bath 1,100 sq.ft ... Listed 2 days ago", "RM 1,800 ... HOT RENTAL D'Piazza Bayan Baru 1300sf 3 1R 3B Fully Furnished", "RM 1,800 ... 2 CAR PARK 1300sf ... 3 bed 3 bath 1,300 sq.ft" — with a crawled ladder to RM2,100. The sale side is one card: RM485,000 on 1,100 sqft (~RM441 psf), marketed "FULLY 100% LOAN". Worked, asking-basis, gross, before 2.19%: RM1,300-1,800 x 12 = RM15,600-21,600 on RM485,000 = 3.2-4.5%. Rooms: zero in-building room cards. Short-stay: not collected. The corridor's elasticity signal: One Foresta's RM1,100 ask drew 66 chat requests against 56 at RM2,200.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card and put in your own numbers. The rent field loads RM1,300 — the measured floor card, two car parks, basic reno, two days old — and the purchase field stays yours to fill: one RM485,000 asking card is the whole sale file, and Brickz was not attempted this sweep. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
First-party first: zero in-building cards on our board — the area page reads "Zero Deposit Houses for Rent in D Piazza Condominium Bayan Baru" — but the Bayan Lepas corridor around it is live: Mahsuri Apartment at RM1,250 pet-friendly with 3 requests, Forestville at RM1,900 with 19 and RM1,700 with 12, Halaman Cendana at RM1,500 with 17, One Foresta at RM2,200 on 950 sqft with 56 requests and RM1,100 on 900 sqft with 66. That last pair is the signal: the cheaper ask drew more demand. Value pricing works in this belt.
The rent book, three in-building cards verbatim from the area feed. "RM 1,300 per month D'Piazza Condo . 2 Car Park 1100 sf Basic Reno Bayan Baru ... 3 bed 2 bath 1,100 sq.ft ... Listed 2 days ago"; "RM 1,800 per month HOT RENTAL D'Piazza Bayan Baru 1300sf 3 1R 3B Fully Furnished ... 1,300 sq.ft ... Listed 13 days ago"; "RM 1,800 per month 2 CAR PARK 1300sf D'Piazza Condo Bayan Baru Queensbay D piazza FTZ ... 3 bed 3 bath 1,300 sq.ft ... Listed 17 days ago". The crawled search ladder adds excerpt-grade rungs — "RM 1,600 ... 1,300 sq.ft, 4 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom, Fully Furnished", "RM 2,100 ... 1,300 sq.ft 3 bed 2 bath fully furnished with parking & security" — and the area's own arithmetic sits above the book: the Bayan Baru feed's FAQ reads "average price for rent Apartment / Condominium is RM 2,100" and "median price ... RM 2,100" over "119 Apartment / Condominium For Rent in Bayan Baru, Penang, Oct 2026". D'Piazza prices below its area median — that is the value-ask story, in the numbers.
The sale side, one card and a supply snippet. "FULLY 100% LOAN D'Piazza Condo BAYAN BARU 1100sf KITCHEN RENOVATION ... 3 bed 2 bath 1,100 sq.ft ... Listed 14 days ago" at RM485,000 — about RM441 psf on 1,100 sqft, with the 100%-loan framing marking the seller's motivation. The search summary counts "Mudah ~34 for sale", "PropertyGuru: 52 properties for rent", "iProperty: 3 rental listings (freehold)" — summary counts, not live reads. Brickz was not attempted this sweep; the gap is recorded. Worked, asking-basis, labelled: RM1,300-1,800 x 12 = RM15,600-21,600 on RM485,000 = 3.2-4.5% gross, before 2.19%. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
The rest, honestly null. Rooms: zero in-building room-format cards on every channel read; the cheapest area cards are whole flats (the Jalan Tengah flats at RM950-1,200 on 500-900 sqft); the split on the 1,300 sqft 3+1 plates is untested and unasserted. Short-stay: not collected — the sweep's token budget went to other families, no Airbnb entity was read, and the page prints no nightly rate; the re-sweep is flagged. Maintenance, quit rent and the MC's pet policy: not published on any channel read.
Why a 2010 freehold plate prices below its area median
D'Piazza is a freehold 706-unit block in Bayan Baru, the Bayan Lepas FTZ side, under MBPP — 3-bed and 4-bed plates of 1,100-1,345 sqft, completed February 2010 by the StarProperty and PropertyGuru project records. Fifteen-plus years on, the plates are big, the rents are family-scale, and the FTZ employment base renews demand on shift cycles; the value ask is the working asset, the age is the working constraint — budget for plant and common-area refresh in the hold plan, and read the sinking-fund history before buying. Pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — whatever the handbook says; the offer is our policy, and the by-law variance is one line in the same letter.
5 checks before you commit
-
Read the real title document — freehold is the record; confirm the per-parcel category and any encumbrances the "100% loan" marketing implies. Done: you hold the individual issue document of title.
-
Get the MC's written stance — short-stay and multi-tenancy in one request; the by-law text, not a verbal yes. Done: the clauses, in writing, with the COB filing date.
-
Read the sinking-fund and special-levy history — a 2010 building's major-asset cycle is the real capex risk; nothing is published, so the AGM minutes are the file. Done: the last three years in writing.
-
Price at the value end deliberately — the corridor's elasticity signal says demand concentrates below the area median; the RM1,300-1,600 end of this book is where the requests are. Done: your ask, justified in writing.
-
Keep the fit-out basic-and-durable — the floor card sells "Basic Reno" with two car parks; the premium furnish ladder tops at RM2,100. Done: scope stays reversible. See the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide.
FAQ
What yield does D'Piazza give?
Worked, asking-basis and labelled: RM1,300-1,800 x 12 = RM15,600-21,600 on the single RM485,000 asking card = 3.2-4.5% gross, before the 2.19% processing fee. One sale card is a thin denominator and Brickz was not attempted — bring your own dated sale.
Can you rent out rooms at D'Piazza?
Zero in-building room cards exist on every channel read, so no room rate is asserted. The 1,300 sqft 3+1 plates could split, but the split is untested here — get the MC's multi-tenancy stance and measured rates first. See the room rental and co-living guide.
Is short stay allowed at D'Piazza?
Not collected this sweep: no Airbnb entity was read and the page prints no nightly rate — the re-sweep is flagged. The MC's written stance gates the model before any underwriting.
Are pets allowed at D'Piazza?
The management's position is not published on any channel read. Corridor context is offer-level — the Mahsuri Apartment card runs pet-friendly — and pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; the offer is our policy, and the by-law variance travels in the same letter.
What running it looks like
Setup is three documents plus one discipline: the title copy, the MC's written stance, the sinking-fund history — and basic-and-durable furnishing, because the measured book pays for car parks and condition, not glamour. The work is one clean FTZ household on a 1,100-1,300 sqft 3-bed — zero deposit, SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the rent collection, and you approve the tenant before anything is signed. The plans sit on top: Standard at RM799 + SST a year, Protect at one month's rent, Protect+ at one and a half.

The zero-in-building own-board read with its corridor counters, the no-entity canonical proof, the three in-building area-feed cards, the crawled ladder excerpts, the area FAQ statistics and the single RM485,000 sale card are of 10 October 2026 (evidence file d-piazza-condominium-bayan-baru-market-evidence-2026-10-10.yaml, lane bi-mine-04, standing mining fleet); the RM15,600-21,600 figures are labelled asking-basis derivations on one sale card — Brickz was not attempted and the transacted gap is recorded; the ~34-for-sale and 52-for-rent counts are search summaries, not live reads; rooms are an honest zero; short-stay was not collected and no nightly rate exists on this page; maintenance, quit rent and pet policy are unpublished; the RM2,100 maximum in the area footer is a sale-card artifact.
