Amara Boulevard and Service Residences @ Batu Caves – Serene Living at Prime Address




















Set to be an iconic landmark in Batu Caves, the Amara Boulevard and Service Residences offer convenient city living in a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere.

The development which sits on 3.18 acres of freehold land in Batu Caves, Gombak takes advantage of the good accessibility and its proximity to Kuala Lumpur city centre.

The Boulevard consists of 48 retail shop units while the Service Residences comprises of 696 apartment units.

Amara Boulevard with its modern façade is designed to meet the needs and demands of modern businesses. It enjoys high traffic visibility with smart functional spaces within shop lots. The property covers a large catchment area – over 10,000 residents within walking distance from Amara Service Residences, Taman Raintree and Taman Laksamana. It also enjoys a population catchment of over 150,000 residents coming from the developed and established townships of Batu Caves, Gombak, Selayang, Kepong and Kuala Lumpur.

For the convenience of shoppers, more than 1,600 lots of parking space are available while safety is ensured with 24 hours guard and CCTV monitoring.

The retail units come with a large built-up of 1,082 sq ft onwards with attractive price starting from RM260,000.

Resort-inspired facilities

Meanwhile, for those who like to stay near shopping amenities, the development offers residences that are complete with full condo facilities. Amara Service Residences offers you a trendsetting lifestyle in a vibrant, self-contained environment. Each unit comes with 3 bedrooms with 2 to 3 bathrooms and built up ranging between 829 sq ft to 1,983 sq ft. Duplex units are available for those keen to separate the master bedroom from the living area, creating more privacy.

Units are priced between RM204,800 to RM506,000, with 1 to 2 car parks allotted per unit.

The Amara Service Residences has an exciting array of resort-inspired facilities including a sky garden and lounge. Sitting on the 23rd floor, it offers a peaceful area for you to enjoy panoramic views of the Kuala Lumpur city skyline and the surrounding majestic hills.

Other facilities within the development include a sky gymnasium, sky karaoke rooms, sky therapeutic yoga zone, sky terrace with seating pavilions and an infinity swimming pool. These are complemented by a therapeutic spa and water reflexology pool, children play pool with water cannons, alfresco BBQ area, mini golf putting green, a double volume grand sky function room with banquet hall and individual meeting/tuition rooms among others – all designed to enrich and make your life easier.

For both the Amara Boulevard and Service Residences, the developer is offering an early bird discount, while bumiputras are eligible for a 10% discount.

The Boulevard and Service Residence is scheduled for completion in June 2014.

Convenient Location

Amara Boulevard and Service Residences is situated at the fringe of Kuala Lumpur city centre and is close to a network of major roads and highways. These include the Middle Ring Road 2 Highway (MRR2), Duta-Ulu Kelang Highway (DUKE), KL-Karak Highway and Jalan Ipoh. It only takes about 10 minutes to reach the city centre.



Residents will benefit from the availability of public transportation as the development is directly adjacent to Batu Caves KTM Komuter Station. The area is also served by RapidKL buses.

Amara Boulevard and Service Residences is surrounded by many important amenities, thanks to established townships in the area. These include Giant and Tesco hypermarkets, Selayang wholesale market, food outlets, Selayang Hospital, banks and district government offices. An abundance of kindergartens, primary and secondary schools are also located in the neighbourhood.

The development is just a stone’s throw away from Batu Caves, a 400 million year old natural limestone cave which attracts millions of visitors every year.

this looks promising!
now only worry for the genuine house buyers are whether they can fight with the investors to secure their dream home or not.

Agree. On a fleeting glance, this is more like it.

yeah cutealex, care to elaborate as to your statement of them being risky and not popular?
do you have any personal experience with them or got to know about their past projects?

Extracted from:
http://www.realestate.net.my/forum/viewtop...c6f12b6f0d6afeb

Guys out there, i would advise you all to think twice before getting property from this developer, after i bought 1 unit from this developer, so many problem arise. They will keep on simply charging you asking you to pay unnecessary charges. Look at their swimming pool, how to swim ?
their management office is really terrible, can't even do simple job, every simple documents task they need months do get it done. And the maintenances fees for car park just making me even mad. The maintenance fees just suddently change from 0.15cent to 0.20cent..and we can't do anything. Try talking to their staff to get things done, they will drive you to holland and your blood pressure will shoot up.
This developer is really a joke. Luckily i managed to sell off this unit, is really a relief.

Been to the actual site already far in at the end of the road is Tmn Raintree by Primera. 2 rows of townhouses and 2 blocks of Condos. Nearer down the road is an old Apt called Anggerik by the same dev. Next to Amara is some low cost apts/flats. Anggerik is currently getting about Rm700 rental if not mistaken.

Pro point:
-220psf good pricing
-freehold
-full condo facilities
-near KTM, near Mrr2
-0.18sen MF (but can be revised in AGM later if not sustainable)

Con:
-YTL cemet's depo right in front
-Noticed a lot of trailers parked at road side waiting for depot
-1 road only
-high jam during thaipusam fest

Anyway, the price is good considering for own stay. Rental not sure got catchment? Raintree has a mixture of Malays, Chinese and Indian owners.

IT'S A BUY BUY BUY..!!

http://maps.google.com.my/maps?f=q&source=...010568&t=h&z=17

u mean amara is there?

Wrong! Else it will be much better.

Amara is behind the cement plant directly.

http://maps.google.com.my/maps?q=3.246824,...2,0.010568&z=17

behind cement=.= here?

Not a bad thing ... can get free cement for renovation

This post has been edited by 1ullaby: May 9 2011, 08:34 PM

this developer is ok????

taken at careffour wangsa maju??

Haha .. recently the replies sums up this thread nicely. All questions and no answers leh.

Conclusion, time to do some groundwork.

Wah.. like that tomorrow u bring stool sit at site liao

The developer very rush2.. say at 1st w'day but kenot make it, thursday can go try but most probably kenot sell, so sunday officially..
Majority chinese, got malays indians too mayb 20%, my guess.

Heard from other forum developer teruk wor..

At midvalley.


I wonder y i so kaypo this project.. its so near the cement plant & limestone hill. KH8668 not scared ?

simple, KH8668 buy for investment , not for his own stay... he just wan earn much from rental... not he go to stay there...so basically he not care about health but just the ROI and.....FREEHOLD this word is attacting him...ekekeke....

Eh, rental there good ka ? I thought can get 900 oni, abt 5% return. I too conservative liao ?

freehold is one thing.. residential title summore is even better.. BUY BUY BUY mode..

so far their diamond residence and diamond regency at jln gombak no issue except for high maintainance cost la..

but i buy it for live........cement factory ok or not???

if live or stay... buy Semarak/ Penaga is much more better...

called up to their office
Thu can view & book
official will be on sunday

Cutealex is right, Raintree side is more condusive for own stay. Not to mention the excellent limestone hill view there.

For investment, depending on the price to "negate" the major con of cement plant..

eh.....price was increase to RM 219k (min)

Time for everyone to stop calling the developer, many calls = hot
At 200k, can consider.
220k, hafta consider even harder ..

Added on May 10, 2011, 2:13 pmEh, from googlemap the hill facing raintree lots botak, like kena korek, nice meh.. Thought amara side more green, but it also very steep + high = scary.

This post has been edited by mrPOTATO: May 11 2011, 09:34 AM

DIBS is better. Interest over 2yrs+ easily more than 2k also.

i love to borrow money by using credit card...

do anyone know how much we need to pay in advance?

where they are going for sofy launch?

Should be at site, last week I saw that they r getting the showroom ready .. duno hows the progress tho. Seems pretty rushed.

yeah...after this project, i don't see another cheaper one coming at least at this moment.

this made me recalling the one in puchong kinrara Sierra Residency.

This post has been edited by kh8668: May 11 2011, 02:33 PM

OK, spoke to one of the SA, now I get what you mean, you get to choose either DIBS or 4% disc, on top of the 5% disc.

To add, there will be a fix 5k discount, but, prices has been jacked up to 220k and not from 200k as
stated previously.

Also, "FREE" ipad upon loan approval.

So guys, do your due diligence ..

that reminds me of park avenue 1120

Wah, sure ka .. ? U'll b ther tomolo ?
If these few days good response then I plan to go saturday with my broom
But i check with my frens, when hear bt caves their respons or or

This post has been edited by mrPOTATO: May 11 2011, 04:03 PM

so total how much discounts? kekeke

is it

220k - 5k (fix discount) - 11k (5% discount) = 204k (with DIBS)

204k - 8.8k (4% discount) = 195.2k (without DIBS; 8.8k derived from 220kx4%)

and how much do we need to fork up if LTV 70%.
what about the legal charges and all?

wat is DIBS?
loan from which bank?

hehehe...if 220k

said 10% 22k

you got 11k + 5k discount (with DIBS)

so total down = 22-16= 5k

legal fees + stamp duty = say 8k for both (loan + SPA)

5k +8k = 13k in total

Assumed developer absorb also legal fees and stamp duty then v only pay 5k lo

Assumed developer absorb legal fees + stamp duty (SPA) and v need to pay legal fees + stamp duty (loan), then maybe 4k; total 5k+4k = 9k

might be less coz stamp duty and legal fees will be cheaper for 220k property; maybe less 1-2k

so the range should be around 5k - 8k or 12k

This post has been edited by kh8668: May 11 2011, 04:40 PM

wa.. in case better go hurry tomorrow. go beratur to buy the rm220k unit... anyone coming?

wa.. change to commercial title.. si beh sien lo..

they made you really stim... then suddenly make you 1/2 stim..

wat is the different between resident title & commerical title?

in iproperty, they said it's 10% discount for bumi! that much aa?
so, on top of early bird disc, total is 15%?
maybe no need to pay d/p at all, even can get rebate?
summore free ipad?

ipad????how much to pay for downpayment??

commercial consider leasehold=)
government had the rights to redevelope the commercial land = build MRT/hospital/amenities

where is the show room & sales office ?

one thing to worried is the developer....
