New Slip Road To IOI Mall

A new slip road has been built to get to IOI Mall in Puchong from the Damansara- Puchong Highway (LDP).

Effective from Nov 19, motorists heading to IOI Mall have to exit at KM 21.7 on the northbound lane of the LDP, as the existing junction from the LDP into IOI Mall at KM 21.5 (northbound) would be modified.

According to Litrak communications department head Bhavani Krishna Iyer, the new slip road is to provide a safer road for highway users to get into the development without impeding the traffic on the LDP.

“This road is constructed by IOI Properties as part of the upgrading work on the existing access into IOI Mall and the commercial area,” she said.

Signages will be put up to direct highway users to the new exit point.

For enquiries, call the LDP helpline at 03-7494 7333

Developer's Good Track Record Can Help Boost Sales

A developer’s track record is what buyers look at during challenging economic times, says YTL Land & Development Bhd sales and marketing senior manager Judy Loo.

Speaking during a media tour of its leasehold Waterville Homes, Loo said buyers were not put off by the fact that a particular project was not freehold.

“I don’t think it is a hindrance. Buyers today are more influenced by the track record of a developer, especially in the current challenging times,” she said.

She added that the homes, which are part of YTL Land’s high-end, 80-acre Lake Edge project in Puchong, had received strong interest mainly from Puchong residents.

“Most of the potential purchasers are from the Puchong area who are looking to upgrade. We have also received interest from existing Lake Edge residents,” Loo said.

She added that the Waterville Homes, now about 65% completed, comprised 50 units of 2½-storey semi-detached houses with a private lap pool each. The standard lot size is 40ft x 85ft.

Built on 4.4 acres of leasehold land, the homes are expected to be completed by end-2009.

Priced at RM1.6mil per unit, this phase would have a gross development value of RM80mil, Loo said.

Lake Edge comprises multi-themed fenceless homes set in a modern tropical neighbourhood. A 12-acre lake is also part of the development.

The project received the award for best low-rise residential development at the FIABCI Malaysia Property Award 2008 held in Petaling Jaya on Tuesday.

YTL Offers Homes With Private Pool

YTL Land & Development Bhd is offering semi-detached houses with their own private pool in its Lake Edge upmarket residential development in Puchong.

Called the Waterville, the 50 units of homes are priced from RM1.59mil each. The design includes a lawn on the top floor and a long timber deck at the pool.

YTL Land general manager Edward T. G. Lee said many people had registered their interest in the Waterville homes (currently in an advanced stage of construction) that would feature 3,800 sq ft built-up area with four bedrooms and a maid’s room. The standard lot size is 40ft x 85ft.

Each bedroom comes with an en suite bathroom and the choice to shower in the outdoors. The master bedroom is located on the top floor while three bedrooms are on the first floor. The dry kitchen is in front while the living room is set at the rear of the house for privacy.

“There are many Puchong residents who are looking to upgrade. They like staying in Puchong because of the many amenities and it is very difficult for them to uproot,” Lee said on a media tour of the gated and guarded community yesterday.

He was confident the Waterville would be well received despite the current property market slowdown as there were few quality semi-detached houses in Puchong and that Lake Edge offered so much in terms of lifestyle living.

Lake Edge Puchong features a collection of courtyard, terrace, semi-detached homes and bungalows.

Brem Eyeing RM600 Million SKVE Job

Brem Holding Bhd is understood to have emerged as the frontrunner to bag a RM600 million contract to build a 12km road which forms part of the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), sources say. The company is understood to be close to securing a letter of intent from the Works Ministry, but it is not known when exactly the job will be awarded. Sources say the high cost of the road project is due to the “soft” terrain of the proposed highway, which would entail more reinforcement work. It is not clear if Brem will shoulder the job alone or rope in partners to assist in the relatively large undertaking. The SKVE is a 40km highway linking Pulau Indah on the west coast to the interchange of the Damansara Puchong Highway. The SKVE project was valued at RM1.1 billion, and was given to Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd last July. In its announcement to Bursa Malaysia last year, Muhibbah said the project would take 42 months, indicating that the works may be completed end-2010. Details of the exact location of the 12km stretch were not available at press time, but the road is known as the “missing link” in the highway. It is also not clear how large a margin the contract may hold for Brem, but it is likely to be significant.
