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.

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.

Aurora Residence @ Lake Side City Puchong

Glowing in pride - Aurora Residences @ Lake Side City

Have you seen the phenomena of aurora? It is a beautiful glow of lights in the sky, a rare occurrence which is said to bring a lifetime of good luck for the person who sees it. It is therefore apt that Aurora Residence @ Lake Side City is named after this natural miracle, with its rare appeal, quality amenities and visually aesthetic façade.

Exquisite homes, solid structures

Aurora Residence @ Lake Side City is a high-rise residential condominium covering 9.28 acres, the first phase within the hefty 149-acre Puchong integrated development called Lake Side City. With 752 units within the development, Aurora Residence provides everyone a chance to enjoy the goodies it has to offer and to marvel at its beauty.

The homes come in 3 exquisite designs, with sizes ranging from 1141 sq ft, apt for couples and small families, to 1238 sq ft, fitting for families who prefer more living space in their homes. All the homes come with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Apart from the homes themselves, Aurora Residence exudes opulence, warmth and splendour with the many facilities it has for its residents.

Emphasising wellness, health and family

Aurora houses 3.9 acres of open gardens on podium levels, emphasising healthy living and sustainability in its own unique way. Some of the health and human wellness facilities Aurora provides its residents are an adult swimming pool, a children’s mini water theme park and pool, a clubhouse, a gymnasium, and even an aerobic and yoga room for those who prefer relaxing exercises over hard-core cardio routines.

Aurora encourages wholesome living, evident from the steam bath and sauna especially for those who want to sweat out without too much hard work. There is also a tennis court, a futsal court, and an open Tai Chi area for those who practise the ancient Chinese martial art. Other services it offers are an indoor games room, a café and laundrette, a BBQ and picnic area for quality family time, and even an event-cum-multipurpose hall for neighbourhood events or family functions.

Aurora’s most beautiful feature is, however, the hanging gardens within the premises. With 4 gardens and each with a different theme, these natural beauties give a Babylonian aura to the already rustic and beautiful condominium. Aurora is also built with convenience in mind, hence the double volume lobby and waiting-cum-drop-off area to accommodate greater crowds with ease.

Puchong’s newest residential pearl

Aurora Residence’s location in Puchong’s Lake Side City places it within reach of most of the best amenities in Klang Valley. It is well-connected and easily reached via a plethora of highways and expressways, which include the LDP, MEX, ELITE, North-South Highway, Besraya Highway, KESAS, SILK, and the newly-proposed SKIP.

Thrilling Water Sports In Puchong

The Asian Water Sports Village is offering fun-seekers a respite from the heat with exhilarating water rides on an 80-hectare lake next to Taman Puchong Prima.

The sports village sits on the lake’s edge and boasts a multitude of inflatable rides with visitors towed by jet-skis or speed boats at breathtaking speeds.

“The 260 horse-power racing jet-ski goes from zero to 80km/h in 2.8 seconds,” said Asian Water Sports Village Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Yong Chen Hui.

He was speaking during a visit by staff of Tourism Selangor and Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) who tried out the water sport activities yesterday.

Apart from the Banana Boat, which beach-goers would be familiar with, the centre boasts the Evo Pro 3, Graphic Deck, and Turbo Blast in its arsenal of entertainment.

The Evo Pro 3 is a 175cm-long inflatable craft with handles for riders to hang on to, and the catch is that all three riders will be lying stomach-down on the platform, Superman-style.

“The name of the game is just to hold tight. If you don’t hold tight enough, the worse that can happen is you fall into the lake,” Yong said.

The Graphic Deck is a similar set-up but only fits two people.

The Turbo Blast is also tugged to blistering speeds but its passengers adopt a sitting position on the craft.

An awe-inspiring ride which elicited “oohs” and “aahs” every time it passed by was an inflatable craft the water sports village workers called the “Flying Fish”.

The ride has a capacity of three persons, is pulled headwind by a speedboat, and when a strong gust of wind hits, the whole craft lifts into the air, along with its human cargo.

Yong said one of their unique selling points is the location, being the first and only licensed water sports centre in the Klang Valley with water entertainment previously only found at tourism spots like Bali, Phuket and Batu Ferringhi.

“We also have a play-all-you-can concept which is unlike other places where tourists are charged per ride. Here, you pay one price for an unlimited number of rides.”

He added that the equipment they use have been examined and comply with US Coast Guard guidelines and his staff are trained in first aid, CPR and aquatic rescue.

The current packages available are three-hours of unlimited motorised water sports at RM39 per person, or a six-hour lakeside party with water sports and a barbecue at RM59 per person.
