Police officers watching over some parents in front of the school.

KUALA LUMPUR: About 50 concerned parents turned up yesterday morning at SJK Tamil Kinrara with the intention of staging a protest, watched by 16 policemen in four patrol cars.


Parents say the lorries going on this road in front of the school to a condominium project nearby are a danger to the students.

The parents had wanted to voice their objection to the construction of a road in front of their children's school leading to a condominium project.

The road is being built to connect the Kinraramas apartments (to be completed next year) to the main road of Jalan Kinrara 1.

The parents said they fear for the safety of their children because of lorries using the road, apart from the noise and air pollution created. They also claimed that the proposed road would encroach into the school's grounds.


The policemen watched the parents for about an hour as the parents waited in front of the school.

P. Mahendran, one of the parents, said: "Since the road is so close to the school, I am worried about the safety of the children, and the noise would affect their studies badly."

The group called off their planned protest after Puchong member of parliament Gobind Singh phoned one of the parents, Samy Nathan Kithan, and told him that the Subang Jaya Municipal Council would consider their appeal and make a decision next week.

The developer could not be contacted for comments.

The parents also questioned the school's silence over the past two years. Mahendran, 41, said he only knew about the matter 10 days ago when he saw a hoarding beside the school.

"Why is the Parent Teacher Association and school administration keeping it from the parents when the school has only given approval to the developer?" he said.

PTA president Michael Tamil said: "We had agreed to the building of the road verbally; in return, the developer would build a 465 square metres school hall and a bus stand among others."

There was uncertainty about whether the proposed access road was in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor, as the border runs nearby.

This is a maiden boutique development by Urban Hallmark Properties Sdn Bhd called Zephyr Point, loated at Lorong Basong, Damansara Heights. Located on a 1.5 acre freehold plot, this development sits about 60 feet above sea level. There will only be seven units of bungalow villas ranging from 8000-9000sf, and each bungalow villa comes complete with a separate home office at is "breezeway" where common facilities are. Reportedly, units in Damansara Heights cost some RM800-1200 persf now, but Zephyr's pricing has not been determined yet. If based on the average RM1000 persf mark, we are looking at from RM8Mil to RM9Mil for each of the units there. There will not be a launch for this project as buyers here are high nett worth individuals only. So for those of you interested in this place, you can contact the developer directly and request for an exclusive preview invitation. Damansara Heights is a very much sought after residential enclave. Hilly terrains and greens dominate this area, making it all the more alluring. Damansara Heights is mostly saturated with huge landed homes. Buyers here are mostly for own stay, with the exception of some who opt to lease their homes out at rental rates of RM15K-RM25K per month depending on design, budget, immediate location and timing. Some would also purchase over dilapidated homes here, refurbish them and make a profit by re-selling the new and improved house out. Damansara Heights has its share of commercial activities, though not much at the moment. If you are looking for areas to wine and dine, and possibly shop around a bit, the nearest enclaves would be Bangsar and Mont' Kiara, about ten minutes away from Damansara Heights via highways. Overall, Damansara Heights proves to be an excellent place to reside or to invest in.

Seri Gombak’s shining beacon

The Idaman Puri low-density apartments allow Klang Valley dwellers to escape the hustle-and-bustle of Kuala Lumpur, while still living within commutable distance

`Seri’ in the Malay language means `Shine’, and nowhere does this adjective apply more aptly, than the Idaman Puri apartments.

Developed by Hillcrest Gardens Sdn Bhd, Idaman Puri is yet another jewel to the crowning glory of the township of Seri Gombak. In fact, the company first broke ground in that area way back in 1979 – steadily developing the 523 acres of freehold land into the thriving, self-sustained township it is today.

The Essence of Dreams

‘Idaman’ translates as `Dream’, while `Puri’ as `Essence’. And certainly, Idaman Puri is a dream come true for Klang Valley dwellers who work in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya or other conurbations around Kuala Lumpur – but wish to escape into their own, private sanctuary after a hard day’s work.

Low-density, tropical-themed, gated and guarded, the Idaman Puri Apartments consist of 42 units, housed within 2 blocks of 3 stories each.

Spread across a comfortable area of 1.65 acres, each unit has a standard built-up area of 1,290square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to boot. What more, your privacy is assured with only 2 units per floor. Now, this is indeed a luxurious treat for residents and guests alike. Of course, you will also be pleased to know that each unit is allocated with 2 car parks.

A balcony utilising the lanai concept, overlooking the centre park which also doubles-up as residents’ exclusive recreation centre, elegantly completes Idaman Puri. And for as low as RM256,000, you could be congratulating yourself on acquiring this viable piece of freehold property – located near schools, commercial and retail centres. For family oriented investors, owning en bloc is a good strategy to bond entire family members under a cosy 4,000-square-foot roof- with 9 rooms, 9 baths and 3 living halls; all for just RM800,000!



It’s all about connectivity

At 9.7 km from the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, with the MRR2-Jalan Kuching toll-free highway making commuting a piece of cake, accessibility certainly isn’t an issue with Idaman Puri. What’s more, the new DUKE Highway is currently under construction, providing easier and faster access to adjacent neighbourhoods such as Sri Hartamas and Ampang.

But the real deal, perhaps, is in the setting. Nestled amidst the lush flora and fresh air of Malaysia’s main mountain range – Banjaran Titiwangsa – this is truly country-style living at its best.

Concept + Location + Price = A Great Deal

A unique concept, idyllic location and great price – these are amongst some of the Idaman Puri Apartments’ most prominent attractions. These residences are expected to be completed soon, thereby saving buyers valuable time and other costs.

another Luxury project in Bangsar

City & Country: Making his name with D'9 Bangsar
by Rosalynn Poh
Email us your feedback at fd@bizedge.com


Ng Thean Hooi comes from a family that has been involved in the property industry for decades, mostly preferring to lease and manage the properties their company has developed.
The 37-year-old Ng, however, found this business strategy too conventional. He decided to head in a different direction and figured he could make a name for himself, or rather for his newly set up property developing company Topaz Ace Sdn Bhd, as a luxury boutique developer. Topaz Ace's maiden development D'9 Bangsar will be on a 15,000 sq ft freehold tract, which Ng says is at the highest point of and the last of undeveloped land in upmarket Bangsar in Kuala Lumpur.
“The older generation preferred mainly to build and then rent out, as that way they would still own and manage the buildings or properties,” says Ng, who is Topaz Ace's CEO. He cites the family-owned Wisma Bandar, a 100% tenanted 13-storey office building in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. The building was completed in 1996 with a net lettable area of 98,275 sq ft. Another family-owned property is Fortune Court, a 5-storey apartment in Kuala Lumpur with rents of between RM2,000 and RM4,000 a month.
The family, through associate companies has, to date, completed over RM300 million worth of projects, including Taman Industri Puchong and Taman Puchong Tekali, a housing project which spans 83 acres of formerly agricultural land. Taman Puchong Tekali — two phases out of a total four have been completed — consists of terraced houses, apartments, shopoffices and two petrol stations.
The family also owns pockets of land in the Klang Valley, Ipoh and Penang.
After graduating in 1994 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, double major in finance and marketing, from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, the US, Ng started working as an investment executive. He subsequently invested in an information technology company, which was later listed on the Mesdaq Market in 2004. As his family was also involved in the rubber industry, Ng was running a rubber factory in Thailand up until three years ago when it was sold to Top Glove Corp Bhd, the world's largest rubber glove manufacturer. He then decided to turn his attention to becoming a property developer and set up Topaz Ace two years ago to focus on high-end projects.
Unlike the older generation in his family, Ng says Topaz Ace will offer “a breath of fresh air”. “We are young and D'9 Bangsar is going to make a name for us. It's all about branding and gaining the confidence of our buyers. Once we have established ourselves, then we can move on to bigger projects. There will be no compromise on quality. Our management team's entire focus right now is on this one project alone,” he stresses.

Exclusive address
The name D'9 Bangsar makes perfect sense as the exclusive condominium project consists of nine levels with nine units. The No 9, considered lucky by the Chinese, is also Ng's favourite number. He purchased the piece of prime land, which is located along Jalan Kapas in Bukit Bandaraya, from his family for RM4 million in 2005.
The project comprises a 10,000 sq ft penthouse which includes a 800 sq ft entertainment area that could be converted to a spa or Jacuzzi area; three duplexes with built-ups of 5,272 sq ft and private pools; and five suites with built-ups of 3,626 to 3,628 sq ft. The suites have all been sold.
“My initial plan was to build up to 50% and then start our marketing activities. But within two months of putting up the sign at the site, we have managed to sell 50%,” he says, admitting that he was surprised by the response. The purchasers are mainly people currently living in Bangsar as well as Koreans.
Ng says that due to the size of the project, purchasers can expect personalised services. For the duplexes with the private pools, purchasers have an option to convert the pool into a Zen garden with water feature. “We are fortunate as the family has everything in-house, from security to maintenance and landscape services,” he explains.
“We're a boutique developer and therefore we can make decisions fast. The smaller profit margin does not matter, we are building a brand,” he adds. As the site is square, he says all units have practical layouts and therefore optimum use of space. Since the development is perched on a hilltop and there will not be any other high-rises in the area, all rooms will have a view of KLCC, offers Ng.
The gross development value (GDV) of D'9 Bangsar is RM40 million and it is targeted for completion in 2010. The initial prices for the condos are at an average of RM800 psf. The suites are tagged from RM2.9 million to RM3.3 million, the duplexes from RM4 million to RM4.6 million and the penthouse over RM8 million. The developer says the initial pricing is expected to be revised by the end of this year, before its targeted launch in early 2009. The management fee will probably range from 35 to 50 sen psf depending on the size of the unit. Asked if there were offers to buy the whole block given that it has only nine units, Ng says there were, but he turned them down as he prefers to sell to individuals. He has kept a duplex unit for himself and plans to live there.
On how Topaz Ace is coping with the rising cost of construction materials, Ng says he had purchased all the required raw materials, such as timber and steel, earlier and put them in storage. Upon completion in 2010, he expects a value appreciation of up to 20% or 30% on D'9 Bangsar, considering factors such as location and construction material prices. He says Bangsar is density-controlled and the location is very much sought-after.
Less than five minutes from the condo is The Loft Bangsar, whose 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom unit is selling for RM2.88 million. It comes with three parking bays and a built-up of 3,349 sq ft. A fully furnished duplex unit, with a built-up of 4,757 sq ft and seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, is being rented out for RM20,000 a month.
Zerin Properties' head of agency Bryan Kumar says demand is very encouraging for a prime location like Bangsar despite the current economic situation in Malaysia, with the fuel price hike contributing to a more than 30% rise in steel and cement prices. “My prediction is that Bangsar will not lose its demand and neither will the price depreciate as land is really getting scarce. Bangsar is strategically located between KL city, PJ and Mont'Kiara, and convenient with many shopping centres and good fine-dining restaurants around. That is why many expatriates choose Bangsar as a place in which to live,” Bryan adds.
He says it is different for the rent market as property management plays an essential role. If a property is not well managed and management has not upgraded its facilities after five years, rent rates will definitely go down. Brand-new properties or those completed less than two years ago will then see better response.
Looking forward, Ng says they are in the midst of negotiations for a piece of land in Taman Desa, close to the location of Topaz Ace's office. Once D'9 Bangsar is completed, the developer may consider developing a tract along Jalan Tun Razak, which is currently owned by the family. A development order has been obtained for a 29-storey building housing 24 levels of serviced apartments with a GDV of over RM312 million. “I am very, very sure I will be here for the long term,” he concludes. There are also plans for a 5-storey, 16-unit condo with a GDV of RM55 million along Jalan U-Thant to be developed via another family-owned associate company.

Katana II: Katana launching second KL project

Katana II tagged at RM1,600-1,900 psf, double price of first project in 2005

BOUTIQUE firm Katana Developments, which is linked to Oriental Holdings chairman Loh Cheng Yean, will launch its second residential project in Kuala Lumpur at RM1,600-1,900 per square foot.

This represents an increase of about 100 per cent over its first KL development in 2005.

Katana director Sherman Lim said: ‘High-end properties in Kuala Lumpur have easily more than doubled since 2005.’

Pointing out the crucial difference between developing property in Singapore and Malaysia, Mr Lim said that in Singapore, land costs typically accounts for up to 70 per cent of the investment costs while in Kuala Lumpur, it might be as little as 20 per cent.

This is why location alone is not the only distinguishing factor in a Kuala Lumpur property.

‘You can have two properties side-by-side and yet they could be very different, depending on the design and construction,’ added Mr Lim.

For Katana II, the developer engaged award-winning Singaporean firm W Architects to undertake the design. This is in line with the company’s credo of, ‘doing something more design-driven’.

Located in Kuala Lumpur’s ‘embassy row’, Katana II will have 40 units, comprising a mix of townhouses, triplexes, duplexes and lofts. Of these, there will be six penthouses with private lap pools.

Another award-winning Singapore firm, SCDA Architects, designed the 30-unit Katana Residences, which is now fully taken up after the developer sold the remaining 10 units it held for investment last year for RM1,400-1,700 psf.

Meanwhile, in the pipeline is The Boulevard Katana in Penang, expected to be launched in the third quarter of the year.

New benchmark in luxury living
By ANGIE NG


BOUTIQUE property developer Urban Hallmark Properties Sdn Bhd aims to lift the benchmark of luxurious residential living through its maiden project Zephyr Point on Basong in Damansara Heights.

Targeted for launch in the first quarter of next year, the gated and guarded development with only seven exclusive residences strives to offer the ultimate urban residential address.

Managing director Datuk Jeffrey Ng said Zephyr Point had been meticulously designed for those seeking a well-planned and modern living environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city but enjoy conveniences such as chic cafes and retail shops.

“Every step of the way – from the initial master planning to product layout and design, material sourcing to landscaping – we go the extra mile to set a new benchmark in quality finishes and design functionality.

“A lot of time was spent with our consultants to ensure the architecture, interior and landscape designs create a boutique effect to meet the luxurious lifestyles of our buyers,” he told StarBiz.

The panel of consultants comprises project master planner Garis Architect, interior designer Palladio Interiors and landscape architect ICN Design International.

The four units of three-storey villas and three penthouses are targeted at homeowners who desire privacy, picturesque views, security, spaciousness and exclusivity.

The residences, averaging 7,900 to 11,700 sq ft with indicative prices of RM8mil to RM12mil each, are perched nearly 60 feet above road level. Two show houses of a penthouse and a villa will be ready by the first quarter of next year in time for the sales launch.

Construction started last July and is scheduled for completion by the middle of next year.

Ng said the extensive use of premier brands in fittings and equipments and top quality finishing would ensure classy looks and durability.

Garis Architects director Mok Chee Paan said the penthouses that sprawl over an entire floor of over 10,000 sq ft each had been designed with optimal use of space and an open-plan interior that invites natural light and cross-ventilation.

Privacy is assured by way of individual entrance lobbies and private lift access. Each penthouse owners has a lock-up garage for three vehicles and a large storage room in the basement.

Palladio Interiors managing director Dion Vercoe said the double-volume atrium at the foyer of the villas would accentuate light, space and comfort of the open-plan living and dining areas.

“Another unique feature is the provision of personal space in the form of a self-contained retreat studio at the lower level that opens out to a spa pool and deck,” Vercoe said.

ICN Design director Julien T. Hodson-Walker said Zephyr Point would have trees and lush foliage strategically planted to cocoon the elevated estate to give it an intimate ambience.

Every homeowner at Zephyr Point enjoys a personal home office at the Breezeway level that also accommodates the residents' function lounge and fully equipped gymnasium.

DAMANSARA, MALAYSIA


Design proposal for a high density condominium development with close proximity to a major expressway. The planning is premised on minimum overlooking between units as well as maximum green space on the grounds. This proved to be quite a challenge as the plot ratio on the site is 6.5 and our intention was not to have units accessed by double-loaded corridors.
