No More Links To Otherword, Underworld

 

Just over a decade ago, tell anyone you had bought a house in Puchong and the inevitable reaction would be a gasp, raised eyebrows and a befuddled "Why-lah?"

Others would conclude that you must be a "gangster Puchong", "buaya Puchong" or hantu pocong, and proceed to make jokes about your imprudent decision to set up home out in the boondocks where presumably wild animals still roamed.

Going by its location "in the middle of nowhere" and its air of mystery, there were many tall tales surrounding the origins of the name of the now bustling urban sprawl in Selangor.

According to urban legend, hantu pocong is a bandaged fiend with bindings similar to the mummies of Egypt who used to cause mischief by hopping along the roadside around the area, thus lending its name to the township. To lend credence to this tale of the supernatural is the infamous abandoned "Puchong House", supposedly one of the most haunted bungalows in the country.

There are all kinds of rumours surrounding the decrepit, spooky-looking place. One story has it that the owner and his family were murdered by a robber. Another is that a mentally ill woman murdered her entire family there. Ghost hunters and thrill seekers from near and far have made a number of videos of their jaunts to the bungalow, but the ghoul which supposedly lent Puchong its name did not make an appearance. In reality, those visiting Puchong these days are only likely to encounter zombies, or rather those reduced to this state of catatonia, by the traffic jams now plaguing the area.

Besides its affiliation with the otherworld, Puchong was also linked to the underworld. It did not help that many members of the notorious Mamak Gang, the longest active criminal gang in Malaysian history, were nabbed in and around Puchong.

But all that is now in the past. Once the target of jokes and unkind remarks, Puchong residents are now being lauded for their unparalleled foresight -- their neighbourhood has become one of the best examples of rapid urban evolution within the Klang Valley.

From an unimpressive rubber estate and tin mining town in the 1960s, with only a single two-lane road running through its estates and villages, Puchong now boasts upmarket residences, residential estates with unpronounceable posh-sounding names, a private hospital, golf club, international school, shopping mall, well-known eateries, and more importantly, salons run by internationally-trained hair coiffure artists.

Indeed, Puchong is now a major growth area where more than a dozen new residential estates have been developed with more being planned. Marketed as the "New Petaling Jaya", Puchong is increasingly seen as the alternative to Putrajaya in view of its proximity to the federal administrative capital. Those living in the newer townships such as Taman D'Alpinia and Sierra 16 get to enjoy the best of Puchong and Putrajaya, which is a mere five minutes' drive away.

Responding to the steady market demand for housing, developers have continued to build and build. This is because what was out in the boondocks is now coveted with property prices in some areas now valued at over a million ringgit.

Today, the township distinguishes itself with its landscape of gated residential communities, shiny office buildings, concrete multi-tiered highways that connect it with almost every major urban centre in the Klang Valley -- now enhanced with access to the Bukit Jalil Highway.

Although the criss-crossing network of roads is at times confusing, and congested even during off-peak hours, all these have done little to suppress demand for Puchong's houses.

Like the burung pucung (heron) it was named after -- there were large numbers of these birds in the abandoned mining pools in the area in those days -- Puchong has continued to soar and is estimated to become even more urban and urbane in the years to come. Not much of the area looks the way it did even a decade ago. Perhaps, what still remains is the Buaya Puchong, now no longer a ravenous, monstrous reptile, but a 4x4 club, well known for its record of service to the community.

Most importantly, after having to put up with them for over a decade, the bad jokes about Puchong and its residents have finally trickled to a complete halt.

Puchong is now a major growth area where more than a dozen new residential estates have been developed, with more being planned.

IJM Launches Luxury Bungalows

Alvarez bungalows are priced from RM3mil and boast of a view over Ayer Hitam forest reserve.

IJM Land recently launched the fifth phase of its Laman Granview development in Saujana Puchong. Named Alvarez, this phase comprises 27 bungalows due to be completed by October. The launch was held together with the opening ceremony of Laman Granview’s clubhouse which is named Cresta.

With its own lift, one floor dedicated to the master suite and a density of five units per acre, these bungalows are certainly luxurious.

Each 3.5-storey home is priced from RM3mil. Built-up areas range from 5,602 to 5,483 sq ft and offer five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and one utility room; the lowest level may be converted into a multifunction room or used as a guest room.

The Alvarez bungalows come with individual titles (not landed strata titles) which are leasehold for 99 years (expiring in 2110).

Laman Granview is a guarded enclave with 24-hour security surveillance. It is located on elevated ground, 450 ft above sea level (Damansara Foresta in Bandar Sri Damansara, to compare, is located 590 ft above sea level), next to the Ayer Hitam forest reserve.

“Many homeowners in the Klang Valley who have long trusted IJM’s quality homes are looking to upgrade their homes now that their family sizes and income levels are growing and they are now looking after their elderly parents,” said IJM Land general manager for the central region.

At the launch, a number of bookings were made and several potential buyers showed strong interest in the houses, added a spokesperson.

Cresta features an infinity swimming pool, wading pool, cafeteria, gymnasium, sauna, and multipurpose hall.

There were full take-up rate for non-Bumiputera units.

Symphony is an 81ha guarded development with a gross development value of RM107 million.

The Symphony units are two-storey houses priced at RM728,000 onwards and are expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The earlier launch of Phase 2, called Sonata, Lakeside Residences, was fully sold within a day via balloting in September last year.

"The outlook for our development in Puchong is overwhelming. Purchasers have faith in the location of our project as well as its overall concept," Iskandar said.

Centrally located within Puchong's thriving commercial hub, the lakeside living residences are sited amid the lakeside clubhouse and recreational facilities with open green parks and community focal points, such as a half Olympic-size infinity pool, parks, recreational area and jogging paths.

Perfect Eagle Developing Clean And Green In Puchong

 

 

 

 

 

One of the main attractions of highland resorts, besides their cool climes and individual charms, is their fresh air. Free of – or rather low in – pollutants, the first thing many city tourists do upon arriving at their destination is to take lung-fulls of the stuff.

 

Although less than 20% of dry air is made up of oxygen, researchers say the more we take in, the better it is for us as the best way to improve health comes from the optimum oxygenation of every cell.

 

It may have been this basis of wanting to deliver a healthy development that led Perfect Eagle Development Sdn Bhd to name its project in Puchong, Selangor, O2 City.

 

While the idea may be simple, its execution is far more complex, requiring socio-economic forecasts, ecological conservation analysis and the adoption of energy efficient solutions for it to be turned into reality.

 

Taking inspiration from the naturally occurring process of photosynthesis, part of the building design of O2 City was formed to reflect and respond to the natural environment as well as to meet human needs.

 

To cultivate an “outstanding environment for living, working and social activities”, PEB drew on advanced green technologies to create a sustainable residential township that can offer healthy lifestyles.

 

Before that, though, it studied the topography and position of its 64-acre site so the development components comprising six blocks of serviced residences, up to four blocks of boutique offices, a retail mall and a hotel could best use natural sunlight, natural ventilation and passive heating and cooling so running costs and energy usage could be reduced.

 

It also specified plants along the east and west borders of O2 City to diffuse heat and reduce the amount of energy needed for cooling and will incorporate sustainable energy solutions such as solar, heat pumps and heat recovery systems to lighten the development’s demands for conventional power.

 

Conserving water resource through recycling of grey water, harvesting of rainwater and other water saving methods is another green feature of the development.

 

In terms of further reducing the development’s carbon footprint and reducing pollution once the entire project is completed by 2022, PEB said it will strive to encourage its population of residents and office workers to use public transportation or selfpropelled modes of movement such as walking and cycling.

 

Ultimately, PEB hopes its efforts will make O2 City a place where birds, flora and fauna will also be happy to call home.

 

To measure its efforts, the developer will subject O2 City to international green assessment tools and certification systems such as the United States’ Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Singapore’s Green Mark and Malaysia’s Green Building Index (GBI) ratings.

 

O2 City is taking shape near educational institutions such as the Limkokwing University, Multimedia University, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Binary University College, Alice Smith International School, Rafflesia International School, Australian International School as well as Nexus International School.

 

Also near by it will be the Columbia Asia Medical Centre and the Serdang Hospital as well as the 25ha Ayer Hitam Recreation Park, Putrajaya Botanical Gardens, Wetland Park and IOI Palm Gardens.

 

O2 City’s serviced residences with built-up areas of between 1,000sq ft and 2,600sq ft are being offered from RM500psf. This will mark the first phase of the development and it’s expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2016.

Modest  Beginnings

Masteron Group started out in 1981 as Masteron Sdn Bhd, a small but efficiently-run construction company. Its maiden project was a single storey warehouse in Port Klang, Selangor. Over the years, factories, schools and all manner of civil engineering and earth works were undertaken.
