Elegant and fashionable

Posh: The semi-detached houses by BSG Property in Tanjung Bungah.

BOON Siew Group Property’s (BSG) NineTen project comprising 40 semi-detached houses located in Tanjung Bungah will be completed by July.

The project, which is part of the upcoming 48.5ha Permai Village township, will have the Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC) and Tenby International School (scheduled for completion in August) as “neighbours”.

BSG property business development manager Koay Wei Loong said the units, aimed at the middle and upper middle class, have been bought by locals and foreigners mainly from Europe, Hong Kong and Singapore.

“We made sure that everything is of the highest quality, because these buyers are usually very choosy. Most of our buyers are also repeat customers.

“Besides buying for occupancy or as a holiday home, the customers will sometimes buy it for investment,” he said after holding a private preview for selected guests recently.

BSG property executive director Alfred Chew said that the units priced from RM2.4mil to RM5.8 mil are almost completed.


Luxurious: Houses in NineTen project come complete with swimming pool.

“We have sold 60% of the NineTen project. Landed property in Penang is in demand because of land scarcity on the island. These days, we see that buildings in Penang are moving upwards,” Chew said.

Bungalow project to launch this month with only 21 units left

Spacious: The front of a Type A bungalow.

A DOUBLE-storey bungalow project known as Ukay Seraya in Ukay Heights will be launched this month when the show houses are ready.

Comprising 30 units, the project has obtained the relevant approvals and sits on freehold flatland.

The lot sizes average about 9,200 sq ft and the project is located less than 10 minutes from KLCC.

This bungalow development with perimeter security fencing comes in four designs with built up area ranging from 5,813 sq ft to 7,336 sq ft.

Type A has the biggest built up area of 7,336 sq ft. It has a covered car porch that can accommodate five to seven cars. The master bedroom suite is 1,056 sq ft in size and demarcated into a sitting area, bed area, walk-in-wardrobe and a bathroom.

The layout of the master bedroom also provides a working area.

Type A has eight rooms, seven baths and a powder room, two living areas, a dining area, dry and wet kitchens, three store rooms and an external garden toilet.

Type B generally has bigger land area ranging from 9,300 sq ft to 12,215 sq ft per lot. It has seven rooms, seven baths, a powder room, three store rooms and a garden toilet.

The project is developed by Long Island Properties Sdn Bhd, a member of the Long Island Group (LIG). The Long Island Group is a developer who has forayed in Australia, China and Malaysia.

“In the Ukay Seraya project, we have installed concealed piping and wiring for all essential items including air-cond ducting, phone and TV cables to all rooms, security alarm cabling to all windows and external doors and CCTV cabling. This will eliminate the need to hack the walls later. As a standard feature, we also install external sensor detector lights and solar heater delivering hot and cold water to all baths and the kitchen,” said LIG head Cheah Min Loong.

Another unique feature is the pre-approved swimming pool for Type A and Type B.

This meant that the purchaser has the option to build a private swimming pool immediately without having to seek the authorities’ approval.

The large land sizes allow the construction of pools up to 60 ft long. The swimming pool is an optional item.

Out of the 30 units of bungalow in the Ukay Seraya development, 18 units are Type A, six units are Type B and three units each for Type C and D.

The pre-launch sale prices range from RM3,601,000 to RM4,798,000 depending on the type and land size.

“The pre-launch prices were formulated more than one year ago. The sales price will be increased by about 8% after launching to defray a portion of the escalating material and labour costs which are beyond our control,” said Cheah.

Nine units have been snapped up so far.

“We believe the other units will be taken up in a short time due to factors of address, easy access, safe flatland, freehold and functional designs, attractive prices if you compare apple to apple with other similar developments in the vicinity,” he said.

Firm buys 14.1ha due to overwhelming response

Vast: Teh showing a model of the Garden Residence project.

Following the overwhelming response towards the freehold Garden Residence (GR) in Cyberjaya, Mah Sing Properties Sdn Bhd (MSPSB) has acquired another 14.1ha of prime freehold land adjacent to the GR township for the Clover@Cyberjaya project.

The Clover@Cyberjaya will be an extension to the 46.5ha Garden Residence and will have the same concept with gated and guarded living environment.

MSPSB chief operating officer Teh Heng Chong said the intention was to create an exclusive enclave on this new land.

“This is the company’s future development which will be launched sometime next year. Registration is now open for the Clover properties which are two- and three-storey semi-detached homes, said Teh.

He said the Garden Residence, which the company was focusing on now, comprised medium- to high-end residential homes of two and three-storey Super-link, semi-detached and three-storey bungalows within four precincts. They were conceptualised as a self-sustaining residential development.

To create a resort lifestyle environment, each precinct will have its own perimeter fencing and guard house to ensure an exclusive living environment and better security.

There are a total of 676 units in all four precincts combined. However the 69 units of the three-and-half-storey Blossom garden bungalow in Precinct 4 or known as the Blossom Precinct, is the most exclusive edition of the Garden Residence.

Priced at RM3.2 million, these premier luxury bungalows boasts a designer central park, a rooftop garden with jacuzzi, 9+1 bedrooms/nine bathrooms, private lift and a dedicated entertainment floor all within a spacious built-up of approximately 7,796 sq ft.

“Once completed, the residents of Garden Residence will have access to The Promenade, an integrated community clubhouse and retail amenities. It is a self-contained township so to speak, with lush landscape surrounding the entire development,’’ added Teh.

He said Mah Sing was conscious to nature thus green features have been cleverly integrated into these homes.

The units in Precinct 1 (Cassia), Precinct 2 (Evergreen) and Precinct 3 (Jacaranda), is currently 85% sold within six months of launch at the sub-sale level before they were completed. The Blossom Precinct is open for registration.

According to Teh, the homes have a potential of appreciating in value due to the demand in residential properties in this part of Kuala Lumpur.

Teh said, the homes come with green building features such as rain harvesting system, solar powered water heaters, surface run-off collection, ample natural lighting in each home with north-south orientation and light colour roof material for better heat and light deflection.

Prices for the resort homes in Precinct 1-3 ranges from RM858,800 to RM2.1 million with a built-up of approximately 2,845 sq ft to 4,514 sq ft.

Garden Residence is located within the Multimedia Super Corridor in Cyberjaya and is well connected to the Maju Expressway, North-South Expressway, Damansara-Puchong Expressway, North-South Central Link, South Klang Valley Expressway and the North Klang Valley Expressway.

“With such an extensive linkages, residents will be able to reach their destinations conveniently. The ERL station is just a stone throwaway and the KL Sentral or KLIA just takes less than 20 minutes,’’ said Teh.

Due to its strategic location, Teh added that apart from Cyberjaya, Garden Residence has the potential to enjoy a large market catchment from Putrajaya, Puchong, Subang Jaya, USJ, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Cheras, Seri Kembangan and Seremban.
