New pedestrian bridge to link Kerinchi LRT station to Bangsar South
By PRIYA MENON
priya@thestar.com.my

GETTING to the Kerinchi LRT station will be a breeze for residents of Bangsar South and Kerinchi after the pedestrian bridge is completed in May.

The 200m-long bridge, built by UOA Holdings Sdn Bhd, is from Bangsar South Horizon 2 to the existing pedestrian bridge over the Federal Highway.

The only pedestrian bridge now over the Federal Highway is a 20-minute walk for the residents of Bangsar South and Kerinchi.

Better access: The new pedestrian bridge is connected to the existing one over the Federal Highway from Plaza Pantai.
The new bridge includes a link station serviced by six escalators and a glass lift and will be installed with security cameras.

UOA Holdings chief operating officer (development) David Khor said the RM6.6mil bridge would be completed in five months.

“The bridge is part of the RM4.5bil Bangsar South City integrated development by the company that is transforming the landscape in Kampung Kerinchi,” added Khor.

Bangsar South City consists of five main zones and the pedestrian bridge will be useful for the residents and stakeholders of Bangsar South as well as those working in the Plaza Pantai area who rely on public transport.

The five zones are The Village, The Park Residences, The Sphere, The Horizon and The Vertical, which includes office towers, a hotel tower, a mall, retail outlets and homes.

For Nor Azman, who lives in Kampung Kerinchi, the new bridge could be the answer to a safer and shorter journey to Bangsar South.

“I take at least 15 minutes to walk and this bridge will possibly cut the time in half. Moreover, the bridge will shield us from the heat and rain,” he added.

However, the bridge from the Plaza Pantai over the Federal Highway needs to be repaired but the maintenance is the responsibility of Kuala Lumpur City Hall.

“This part of the bridge belongs to the authority, thus, is maintained by other party,” said Khor in an e-mail to StarMetro.

Made some pictures a couple of months ago (somewhere in December 2010). I will also make some new ones to keep up with current progress if you guys/gals like. Right now Camelia (3rd condo block) is progressing fast; I see it rising every day because our gym is located right next to it.

As a resident the whole area lacks many things of course; don't know if I'm happy to be waiting until 2017 for the project to finish :). Right now The Sphere definitely is too small for the amount of office staff + residents. Carrefour is very small, but has the basics. Clearly the current shops are very much catering to Kerinchi local residents, which is perfectly normal of course. I think overal The Sphere will not be able to handle all the people from the office blocks. If the current Jalan Kerinchi will be the only way to and from the office blocks; congestion will be 24/7. Right now it is already jammed daily, especially around office times (start/end). I was hoping for a new ramp onto the highway (would be nice to be able to get on the Kerinchi Link directly); but I think that will not happen.

Overal it is a nice project so far. Below some pics.

There is the facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=158339130854724) for the Bangsar South Park Residences 'residents'.

Camellia suites target young professionals, expats
By E Jacqui Chan of theedgeproperty.com
Friday, 03 June 2011 12:26

KUALA LUMPUR: Following more than two months of exclusive member previews, UOA Development Bhd has opened sales of its Camellia Serviced Suites in Bangsar South to the public.

According to David Khor, development division chief operating officer, the residences are recording encouraging sales despite the fact that the project has not been officially launched.

"Camellia is very much targeted towards young professionals with a taste of modern comfort through its accessibility and a multitude of recreational and health facilities for residents in an exclusive and safe environment," said Khor.

http://www.theedgeproperty.com/images/stories/0camellia-serviced-suites.jpg
An artistic impression of the Camellia Serviced Suites.

Another target market will be the expatriates working in Bangsar South, he added.

Situated in the 60-acre (24.3ha) Bangsar South, the 34-storey development has a gross development value (GDV) of RM354.27 million.

It offers a total of 720 units with built-up areas of 638, 861 and 1,419 sq ft.

With a starting price of RM568,800, Khor believes affordability is a strong selling point, considering the quality of the development.

The developer plans to retain the units in the upper 10 floors to be operated and managed by a hospitality group.

It is finalising an agreement with an international hospitality group, said Khor.

Camellia has separate common facilities; the facilities for the serviced apartments on the top floors are located at the rooftop, while a facilities floor will be allocated for the apartments owned by individual owners.

Khor estimated a rental yield of 6% for Camellia, which is expected to be completed in 2013.

"The development of the 84,400 sq ft healthcare centre next to Camellia will compliment the serviced suites. The healthcare centre will offer consultation services, and diagnostic and imaging facilities," he said.

Two floors of the centre have been sold to Life Care International Medical Group, and the top three floors will be used for consultation services.

Should treatment be required, patients will be referred to nearby hospitals such as Pantai Hospital in Bangsar. Camellia will offer the patients convenient and comfortable lodging, said Khor.

There is also the RM100 million clubhouse next door which will be operated as a members club.

The club is divided into five floors — the diners club offering F&B, the business club with function rooms, the cigar and piano lounge, the wellness club with spa and gym, and the Splash club, a two-acre water theme park on the top floor. Also available are sports facilities such as tennis and badminton courts.

UOA is currently mulling several options for the theme park. Among them are a joint venture with a reputable operator and appointing an operator to run it.

Bangsar South is UOA's largest development with an estimated GDV of RM8.6 billion.

About 20% of the entire development has been completed — Phase 1 of The Horizon comprising 14 blocks of 10- to 11-storey office buildings, Phase 1 of Park Residences comprising two condominium blocks and The Village comprising the property gallery, F&B outlets and speciality shops.

UOA is also gearing up for its upcoming listing on Bursa Malaysia's Main Market next Wednesday.

Its IPO exercise is expected to raise proceeds of RM1.05 billion.

As far I still remember the blue roof is for the existing pedestrian bridge crossing the road. The skybridge to Bangsar South City is the extension of it. Its better for the developer to upgrade the existing pedestrian bridge and to provide escalator and lift for OKU as well.

I think it's great that they connected the area to the Kerinchi MRT station. I hope they will put some Bangsar South gards on that bridge so people feel safe enough to walk there after work hours. I hope they will be clever enough to eventually connect the whole area by these sort of bridges. Furthermore; anyone knows whether there will be an MRT station coming in Bangsar South?

You are right yes :(. First they chop down that whole green hill to make place for the condo's. Now they will continue with removing the last pieces of greenery to make place for the big office units. Not sure why they would do that....makes the place really ugly :(

My postcount has nothing to do with my reply. And I am definitely not complaining about mother nature.

I live in Bangsar South myself, one of the first to move in the first residential building. There is no balance in Bangsar South right now and the last stretch of greenery (which actually makes the place look much nicer) will be chopped down in that area to build the three big office blocks. I personally think it's a shame to chop down existing trees and then plant new small trees to fit in the designs...use what you have would in general be a much better way to deal with expansion.

Bangsar South is supposed to be a mix of residental and office, so please do not focus too much on the office part as thousands also have to live here in the near future when all 7 of the proposed condo units are finished (only two are ready and 1, Camelia, being built).

And about your reply; I also do not agree with that. There is absolutely no need for brand new office blocks on every unused piece of land in KL. Offices don't bring money, business brings in money. Sometimes it seems more like prestige projects than actually fulfilling actual needs. Many blocks are unused as it is. Those units can easily be renovated into suitable office environments. But no, business dictates you have to be able to show your customers a brand new place instead of a refurbished one.

I drive around KL and PJ and see numerous deserted complexes; easy to give them purpose again. And also no, in the end it has to be balance between work and fun, cities with enough green apparently do a better job in keeping people happy in the long run. Before you realise the importance behind that KL is one big concrete high rise city. A dream to many but with some pretty limiting side effects.

Lol :). I am not looking for green. I just pick up the sentiment of all current buyers that they see many of the original proposed parts of the plan vanish in thin air, only to hear now that for 'green' (as in a nice living area) you'd better move outside of KL :).

PlanetNova

October 27th, 2011, 06:08 PM

Greedy developers will never appreciate and comprehend what greenery can bring to a development in the long run. As long as this country is still ignorant of this fact without enforcing a demanding code in regards to greenery vs. development, it is sad to say that we can only be extremely careful as buyers. KL can never be a world class city if this is never built into code.

Trees are just simply amazing God given beings . The stories of Pocahontas and Avatar remind us of what they are capable of.

just to share with you guys. the pedestrian bridge from bangsar south to Kerinchi lrt station is already opened. It is operates from 7am - 12am. It would be great if the old bridge that crossing the federal highway could be upgraded or at least install glass wall so that noises from the highway can be reduced.

A proposal doesn't mean it is there already. But we do have existing green areas and small pockets of these can be protected, or incorporated into urban planning and design.

Also, what good would it be if an urban park is like half a kimometer from where you live? In the Malaysian weather, residents would probably just drive there, which defeats the purpose of having a park in your neighbourhood.

I don't think you get the idea of what Houben77 is trying to say here....he wants pockets of greenery in the neighbourhood preserved. Even the "green" you mentioned here found in Putrajaya and Cyberjaya is not the original greenery that existed long time ago in those cities.

its ok for me..as long it have a commersial area,mkn place..my house already tengah hutan..nak g kedai kena drive ke pekan 10km..:)..i dont critic people but the idea of city it to make people easy to live,work and move..if you want jungle,u should live at kg,like me....and hard to find job here kalau ade pon duit gaji faham2 la,restoran casher my village rm400,kl rm1200++

putrajaya/cyberjaya is was a palm oil plantation. not really a virgin forest from what you infer.

I was totally aware of that Erwin. It was still a forest before the oil palms were planted right?

Yup, Malaysian cities need the many pockets of green to make them more liveable. KL used to have better air and look so much greener and more pleasant to drive around back in the 80s. However, there are too many hazy days nowaways. I believe that development can go hand-in-hand with the preservation of some green areas.

My friend, there's a whole world of difference. If not, why won't we just chop down all the trees in our forests and convert them into vast parks with new trees? What about the ecosystem, the indigenous fauna and fauna? Not to mention the dense foliage which would cool the surrounding area, and replace CO2 with O2. Those cannot be replaced with just a park with ornamental trees and turf grass.

U still don't grasp the idea. We are talking about the preservation of what is existing now. We need our plantations of course, and plantations actually have lots of greenery compared to urban concrete jungles.

I never said I was against plantations and urbanization, but there is a way to make a city more liveable, and that is to preserve green lungs in the cities. It would be similar to what is done in the middle of KLIA, only much bigger.

You wouldn't be able to imagine how polluted a city can get since you live in a smaller place. But just go to Beijing and Shanghai: places where the air is often choked with acrid fumes....and you would wish for a bit of trees in your midst.

I live right next to Camelia, in Begonia. I can see construction of Camelia going on from the gym/pool. There is no 6 acre urban park, and there will not be any as they already started preparing what's left of the hill that made up this area to start constructing the remaining 4 condo units. 6 acre would mean 261360 ft². I do not think there is that much space available, even if they do not build all 4 remaining buildings as proposed in their plans. Also, on the other side of the road I can now enjoy a nice stretch of green of about 30x80meters. This too will be chopped down for the three skyscrapers. I can understand that those skyscrapers are an important part of the project; but what I cannot understand is that companies like UOA are allowed to sell houses based on certain specific details, get the value of those houses up by selling the 'whole dream' and later on decide to strip everything to the bone and actually leave out the most important reasons for people (again; 7 blocks with over 1000 units!!) to actually live a nice live there.

We actually moved out of KLCC area (we used to live there) because of the polution (and noise). The polution was so bad that on a monday morning we could smell exhaust fumes in our living room of our condo. Also, when it was raining the whole balcony floor became a thick black - mud like - area. Washing the windows was a four hour job as the grease and black ashes were almost impossible to off the glass. Worst of all. I work from home, and over there I had sore eyes on a daily basis. Right now that is all in the past, glad to have moved out of there. No green, only concrete and only polution...

UOA banks on strategic projects

Khor says the 40 acres of undeveloped land in Bangsar South and another 60 acres in other parts of the Klang Valley will keep the company busy for the next seven years.

“It is our strategy to continue with our business model of having smaller parcels of land and building good quality projects at our own pace, instead of rushing through projects which may compromise on quality,” Khor shares with StarBizWeek.

Smaller plots of land will mean a shorter turnaround time of between two and three years (for high-rise developments); and being located in mature locations also ensures a better premium and margin for its properties.

UOA projects yield net margins of about 30%.

He says the other option is for the company to form joint ventures with landowners, and preliminary negotiation is underway for two potential sites in the Klang Valley.

The UOA group also has a large presence in commercial development.

It has completed quite a number of office buildings of which six have been injected into the UOA real estate investment trust (REIT) which currently has an asset value in excess of RM1bil.

UOA Ltd, which is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, owns 68% of UOA Development and 47% of UOA REIT.

Khor says UOA has about 100 acres of undeveloped landbank in the Klang Valley, with 40 acres in Bangsar South, and the balance in Kepong, Taman Desa, Segambut, OUG and Glenmarie.

Last year, it bought three parcels of land six acres in Sri Petaling, and 10 acres each in Segambut and Kepong.

Frasers Hospitality to run UOA Camellia suites
Published: 2012/05/09

UOA Development Bhd, one of the leading property developers here, has engaged Frasers Hospitality Pte Ltd to manage the premium floors of the currently under construction Camellia Serviced Suites.

Camellia Serviced Suites is a residential cum hotel residential project located within the integrated development of Bangsar South.

In a statement by UOA Group, it said that this business engagement marks UOA's first collaboration with an international hospitality operator in its foray into the hotel residence sector.

The 34-storey Camellia Serviced Suites comprises 720 units with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of approximately RM500 million and is slated for completion by middle of 2013.

The premium floors from level 22 to level 31 consisting 240 units will be managed by Frasers under a boutique hotel residence concept, 'Capri by Fraser', complemented by two exclusive rooftop levels of recreational and business facilities.

UOA Development Chief Operating Officer David Khor said: "We are very excited to form a strategic alliance with Frasers, one of the highly regarded international-branded hotel residence management companies in the region.

"It also serves as an ideal platform for both companies to work in synergy by leveraging on each other's strong brand reputation and expertise to meet the increasing demand for quality hotel residences," he added.

Fraser Hospitality, the hospitality arm of Frasers Centrepoint Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fraser and Neave Ltd, is a global serviced residence owner and management company with Gold-Standard residences across Europe, North Asia, Southeast Asia, Middle East and Australia.

Bangsar South is easily accessible via Kuala Lumpur's major expressways such as Federal Highway, New Pantai Expressway (NPE) and Kerinchi Link by virtue of its great location. -- Bernama

Made a few new pics last week. Gives a nice impression on the progression. They started with the remaining residential buildings next to Camelia. The Healthcare centre is already open, but not all shops/facilities are launched yet. Camelia is progressing slowly, really shows that they were in quite the rush to get the Healthcare centre to open first.

They also started with first preparations to build the Vertical. Also, the older blocks of houses to the left (opposite University LRT) have been demolished. The bigger blocks are next, they have already been vacated.

Greatly appreciate your update! A friend of mine is asking me whether camelia is a good buy. What would you guys say?

houben77

May 21st, 2012, 05:45 PM

I am not a buyer myself. I do however know that owners of Begonia & Acacia have made quite the profit from buying units in the first stages. I do not think chances are big that you will make a loss of buying at Camelia...but I am no expert on the matter..
