i-City is a 72 acres ICT-based urban development beside the Federal Highway in Section 7, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. Master planned by world-renowned and award-winning architect Jon A Jerde, i-City was designed as a fully integrated intelligent city, comprising corporate, leisure and residential components such as a 1.0 million sq. ft. regional shopping mall, office towers, Cybercentre office suites, hotels, apartments, data centres and innovation centre.
i-City is a MSC Malaysia Cybercentre where knowledge-based companies with MSC Malaysia status can enjoy the various incentives offered under the MSC Malaysia Bills of Guarantee. It has also been endorsed as a Tourism Destination by the Ministry of Tourism and declared as an International Park by the Selangor State Government where entertainment and other cosmopolitan lifestyle outlets are permitted to operate on a 24 X 7 basis.
With 13 million sq ft of approved built-up and a Gross Development Value of RM 3 billion, this gated and guarded development is today recognized as a catalyst in the transformation of Shah Alam into an International City. Although todate only 20% of the land area has been developed, i-City is already an established MSC Malaysia Cybercentre as well as leisure hub in Shah Alam attracting 90,000 visitors a week to experience its LED lightscape, Snowalk as well as the various themed attractions

Wow, how you manage to get so much internal info? Good share bro!

For legian, anyone move in recently? Can share renovation photos?

Bacially all search from internet.....

gud gud

Nice sharing. I bought one unit end of last year. Initially a little worried coz not many talked about this township. Now feel much better as more & more sharing I can see about this township.

so you moving in or to rent?

The Legians have quite a number of houses rented to uni students.... this is bad considering there's like more than 8-10 ppl staying in each house with the bikes and cars parked all over and the bedsheets is used as curtains!!!

Do take note

I bought it for own stay. I think there is some owner who complained to Ken Rimba about the student renting... I do feel the same that it jeopardize the image, livability & security of Ken Rimba.

I've also just sent an email to contact@kenholdings.com.my regarding this.


Attached thumbnail(s)

well done!!!

I just visit Legian last week I think only 3-5 units right now are occupied by owners. The rest are students and some houses even hang up POLITICIAN PARTY FLAGS...

How many units you saw that occupied by students? Kindly share.

I'm still getting calls from agents to rent out my place to students. Any I turn them away as am looking for family. Well, I wonder does the developer communicate owner's concerns to agents

I didn't count but I guess around more than 10 rent out. At least 4-5 are student houses (I can't sure probably some are rich students).

Good job...
It is difficult to build a success township. Not only depend on the development concept... Many luxury condo in Klang Valley become the low cost appartment due to uncontrolled tenant or improper building maintainance.
The management of the new property/township always is the 1st concern point for me.
Do it right at the 1st time. Hopefully can gather our (invester and owner for Ken rimba legian, jimbaran, coming condo, comercial shoplot) small power to monitor and make the changes.

From subsale? What is the price... ?
I bought it from subsale last month.. RM530,000.

U buy it from developer or subsale?
Possible to share some renovation photo... I plan to start the renovation at September and move in end of the year.

Attached file is my study before make the final decision.....
 Malaysia_1st_Award_Winning_Green_Township___Ken_Rimba___Resize.pdf ( 1.95mb ) Number of downloads: 501


The study still not comprehensive enough to forecast the future value of this area... need more input from all of us.

Below is the simple summaries in my view.

Good points (Follow priority)
1. Opposite of i-City with the development value 5 billion and 1st 24 hours liftsytle comercial area in Shah Alam.
2. Freehold Terrace/Link House with special theme (Green township) - product differentiation
3. Locate at the Shah Alam with 500,000++ population, a lot of working opportunity here. Yearly quite a number of graduates students move in here to looking for a job... (Myself work at Shah Alam Seksyen 21, Japanese Company)
4. G&G township with acceptance distance (10-20km) from mature city - Sunway and Subang
5. Other high end developments started at the nearby area along the Federal Highway (i-Resisdent, i-Soho, i-Sovo in i-City, Arte subang west)

Concern points
1. Short term investor - rent for unsuitable tenant.
2. Lousy management - not able to maintenance the green environment, playground
3. Unefficiency management - not able to bring in the good tenant for KEN RIMBA comercial shoplot
4. Depend on the successful of i-city especially on the i-city mall with 500 million development value.
5. Surrounding area security issues
6. Small township compared to Kota Kemuning and Denai Alam

Bought from developer. Reno have not begun. Would be minor only.

May I ask how much did you first bought it from developer? You don't intend to self stay?

I of the nearby new development... ALAM D'16
Subsale price from RM530,000 up

its an early phase pricing I intend to stay but just not yet. No concrete plans for now

So quiet... ? Am I open the wrong topics....? previous quite a lot of sharing about ken rimba : )

Might be a good news for Shah Alam Section 16

i-City to change Shah Alam property landscape

The Company is involved in manufacturing of household electrical appliances and investment holdings activities.



A TRIP to the i-City township in Shah Alam points to numerous possibilities for the landscape of the area which is being developed by I-Bhd.

The plans that I-Bhd has in store for the entire area could move the township up a notch in the property scene and eventually change the overall skyline of the the wider Shah Alam city and its flagship i-City property development.

Vehicles are today already presently occupying almost all of the open air carpark space even on a weekday afternoon while several cranes are noticeable from afar, proof that its development is moving ahead as planned.

Those cranes have been set up to construct i-City’s modern high-rise developments and these will likely change the property and population dynamics in the wider area as it will be one of the few large-scale high-rise developments in the city of Shah Alam.

In the weekends, crowds from near and afar come to experience its theme park attractions with the latest being the Tornado water slide ride at WaterWorld.

And those changes are already having a telling impact on the bottomline of the developer.

I-Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong tells StarBizWeek that i-City’s skyline will be completely changed in the next decade and will sport high-rise residences, a hotel, mall and a convention centre.

“The skyline of i-City will be completely changed in the next 10 years as we gear up to progressively launch the future phases of this development. Response so far to our launches has been very good,” Lim says.

“We (I-Bhd) have demonstrated that high-rise developments have arrived in Shah Alam city and at a benchmark price. Historically, Shah Alam has always (consisted) of low-rise residences because of the ample land space, so nobody builds upwards. This is not low-cost high rise but at a benchmark price,” Lim adds.

I-Bhd’s two high rises – the i-Residence and the i-SOVO (small office versatile office) – have been sold out.

i-Residence with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM232mil is targeted for completion in early 2015 and the RM64mil GDV i-SOVO is targeted for completion in the third quarter of 2014.

The i-Residence comprises 346 units of condominiums in two side-by-side 33-storey towers and 20 units of low-rise duplex villas. While the i-SOVO is part of a two-tower development on top of the car park podium, with another 216-room three-star hotel.

Property prices at these developments have also been on an uptrend, tracking the larger upward trend of property prices in the Klang Valley.

“When we first launched i-Residence, the first tower was selling for slightly below RM500 per sq ft (psf) However, the second tower saw an escalation in value. On the overall, the average selling price for i-Residence was RM530 psf,” Lim says.



For the i-SOVO that we launched a few months after the i-Residence, the average selling price was RM550 psf. We are today offering our i-SOHO for about RM600 psf,” he adds.

Future developments

Lim says more launches are planned ahead as to date only less than 20% of the land identified for the i-City project have been developed while completed built-up accounts for less than 5% of the approved built up size.

“One can imagine prospects of future developments in the pipeline. We have thus far completed 5% or RM250mil from the project’s RM5bil GDV,” he says.

A light rail transit (LRT) station will possibly be situated at the township and the request is now in the hands of the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) which will decide on the matter.

“This final decision is by the authorities, not us. The lines have not been planned but the local council has submitted a request to recommend for SPAD to locate a station here. We think that it is a step in the right direction since the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) has recognised this,” he says.

According to the model township design at its iGallery showcase sales centre, an LRT station is also proposed and the station eyes the connection to the present Kelana Jaya Line. Should this public transportation facility be built according to plan, it will help reduce congestion once the high-density projects dot the area.

To further enhance the appeal of i-City as a modern township, I-Bhd last year signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Thai-based mall designer specialist Central Pattana Public Co Ltd (CPN) to jointly build a mall at i-City.

“Over the past few months, we have been working closely with Central Group to re-design the mall to cater to the needs of Thai retailers. Although this has somehow affected the mall’s development, we are doing our utmost to ensure that even if we cannot meet our completion target, we shall strive to minimise the delay period,” Lim says.

Lim adds that the company is expected to finalise these plans and sign a joint development agreement for this purpose next month.

The mall had originally been planned for completion in 2015 and has total gross floor area of about 1.7 million sq ft with estimated gross development costs of RM500mil and RM600mil.

I-Bhd through its unit i-City Properties Sdn Bhd intends to hold 40% stake and CPN through its local subsidiary the remainder in the joint venture company. Looking ahead after the completion of this planned mall, there are plans to relocate parts of the theme park developments at their present sites inside the mall and to its small office home office (Soho) development.

“How this leisure segment (theme parks) came about in the first place is that a lot of the development land the company had was idle. So I was thinking of how to create revenue while property developments took place. That’s how ideas such as the City of Lights and the theme park eventually came about,” Lim says.

“Although the theme park gives us a 40% return (on investments), in terms of development, property development profits are higher than the theme park. Even if you forecast the leisure income, it is not as good as (property development) profits. We still have to decide where to relocate the water ride,” he adds.

According to Lim, the relocation of the theme park will free up necessary space for the rest of the high rises planned for the area: the i-SOHO and the Grand i-Residence.

I-Bhd is among developers, namely MK Land Holdings Bhd, Sunway Bhd and the Sentoria Group Bhd, that have embarked on both property and leisure property development models. MK Land had developed the Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, Sunway has Sunway Lagoon and Sentoria developed the Bukit Gambang Resort City.

The company also has other launches on its plate and it plans to launch a 50-storey high rise development at Kuala Lumpur City Centre located at Jalan Changkat Kia Peng with GDV of RM500mil. Lim says the launch is planned for the end of this year but is keeping most other finer details close to his chest for now.

I-Bhd’s focus will be what’s on its plate for now – the i-City property development.

The second leg of i-City will be what’s known as i-City South, a 7-acre data centre complex opposite the existing i-City site on the other side of the Federal Highway.

Lim says the company is in the planning stages of this development and it intends to launch i-City South within the next four years.

“In three to four years time when the area is further developed, we can then start thinking of i-City South which is based on the same concept of i-City. But at this point, we are looking at it as a data centre complex,” he says.

Meanwhile, the MBSA is in the midst of building a connection from the Federal Highway to the i-City development.

All busy with election talk la bradder, hehe, but i see i berhad developmment is one major push to surrouding areas. Definitely benefits ken rimba a lot!

A day after I sent the email to them. I got a acknowledgment email from them & just now, I got a call from a lady named Jasmine & explained to me that they are doing many ways to control student renting & etc. I quickly summarize them here:

1. Visitors must surrender driving licence to enter the compound.
2. They will implement new stickers to allow vehicle coming in to the compound. This may take some time.
3. They have notified the agent to NOT recommend Ken Rimba Legian to student for rental.
4. As Ken Rimba Legian is a individual title residence, Ken, the management has little power to enforce rules as it can be contrary to existing law & etc.

As a buyer, I really hope the students to move out as soon as possible & I'm thinking Ken is doing what they can to improve the security & livability of Legian. I'm quite happy with their feedback so far, at least they are responsive & they do care about the buyers' concerns.

No easy to move out the existing students.... Hopefully no more owner will rent to the students in coming future.....

bro how much u bot for??

Last week went there security guard told me need authorization letter, sticker & access card. Anyone get it?

I understand that we need sticker & access card. Authorization letter? What is this for?

Any owner moved in already?

hey guys, i'm a Legian home owner.

Just wondering whether has anyone been there during the day?

I noticed that the air quality is bad. could smell smoke and something like chemical odour.

Did anyone smell that too?

Ohh I think it is for rent house...

I went on weekend only but never smell anything. Could you share when you was there?

Any buyer book for Jimbaran? have apply the housing loan yet?

I just visit KEN RIMBA yesterday.... did not smell and observed anything there....
However we should take it as a caution point and continue monitor on the air quality

Ya, we should monitor those light industrial factory there, many dont bother to process their waste

Any news lately?

I bought a unit there.

Noticed the student issue thing but seems like they are doing something about it which is good. Might take time to get the students out though.

Security wise it is quite tight too so there is nothing to worry I think.. hehe

I've not moved in there yet.

Has anyone started on the renovation? Any ideas? I heard that they only allow certain type of home grills etc. Is this true?

is unifi or other internet service available in this area ? might move here end of the year.

as of last week, not yet. u bought a unit thr?

ic , nop , future mother in law bought a unit there .

Hi all, anyone does backyard extension for the wet kitchen? Can share the guidelines and procedures?

I have called to management office to ask about the guidelines and tiles code and a lady told me that she will check and call me back. However, after half day, I had still yet to receive her call so I called back again and the same lady told me that there is no guideline/standard for extension. Regarding the enquiry of tiles code, she ask me to email them and they will reply me.

After sent my email, another guy called me and said there is 2 standard extension - full or half extension. He asked me to submit approval for MPSA, after approved by MPSA only submit renovation and extension approval to management.

However, when I email to them to ask more details on the submission, they keep silent. It seemed like Genesis Nature does not deliver a good service. Usually, management office will provide a letter for guideline and checklist for owners who want to do renovation.

Is this the Ken Rimba along the Puspakom Sungai Rasah road?
Weekdays also full with trucks / vehicles queuing waiting for inspection....road condition is bad....
Try make a visit to the area when heavy raining!!! U will see another serious thing happening...... before you make your decision....

Finally the management replied my enquiry after 2 days

Can I know is it fully sold all the units?

Yup... All intermediate units for Legian and Jimbaran sold. Anyway You still can check it with Ken Rimba management...

Can you share the info from Ken Rimba Management...

What's the estimated price for half and full extension?

Thank you, waiwai79. Appreciated yr reply.

the tile's brand is white horse
the forms can be requested from management office by email legian@streamyx.com

renovation deposit is RM2000 which is refundable but another RM100 is non refundable processing fee
they said this is to help us clear the rubbish, security guard help to check during renovation works and etc...

Currently i am still waiting for my contractor to provide me the quotation.

i will do full extension, i worry the wet kitchen will be dusty in the future if it is half extension.

The deposit include the simple renovation example the lighting... ?

Not sure for this, better ask the management.

their answer is not consistent, i reconfirm with the person who called me regarding the RM100, she said this is not including for rubbish clearing incurred by reno.
(previously she called my wife and mention abt rubbish clearing)

she said this RM100 is for security and management team as they do "extra" works for us during reno, ie, open the door for contractor to enter into the residences, helps us to keep an eye, process our application for reno which include paper works... =.=|||
if you claim back the RM2000 and 3 months later or soon, you reno on other parts, you have to pay RM2k and RM100 processing fees again
so as long as u did not claim the deposit back, it is still consider under reno
but she said this fee will go to our own management account and not the developer account, so this will be our future fund.

student issues > she said management had done their best and whateva they could, but the issue still persist
hope we the residents can form our own committee to solve this by ourself.

I am not sure how far this is true as their reply is not consistent as well as never reply in black and white
i email to them but they call me up and after that just reply my email --- "Our community affairs team have called and brief you on the matters, hope you are soothed with the management explanation."

Hi Bro,

Yeah i think our own committee setup is good.

Which lane are you in?

I think my lane has 2 student house. Damn sien..

Bro, you have moved in already? Actually what's the problem renting to students? Unless they are noisy or disturb the community's well being, I don't think it's an issue. I am pretty sure you were once a student as well.

There are few drawback on student house:
1) Too many student stay in 1 roof just to share their rental. As such, you can't even know how to recognize them as many move in/out very quick. It comes to security question why we need G&G as everyone can claimed live there & access Ken Rimba?
2) Student trend not to keep thing well. This is known fact as they just rent partial space in a house. For me, they are just live like low wages foreigner worker, hang up their clothes everywhere around house, making noise, etc. Furthermore, I don't think they are sensitive enough to keep our environment peace & good.
3) They are not belong to our community. They just temporary live there and hopefully they will remind their landlord to pay maintenance to keep thing running.

Hi..may i know is the pangsapuri ken rimba is near to legian or jimbaran? Has anyone move in already? How's the traffic especially trucks in and out from Puspakom? I am very concern with the student issues as well Hope it is getting better.

I am at the most behind lane which facing factory, how abt u?

Bro, i don mind if there are students staying there, but at least must have control on this.
Too many (8-10) students stay in a house, results in too many vehicles, so if no space to park their vehicles in the house, they will park it outside.
imagine if there are 5 motors and 3 cars in a house, cars surely will be parked outside and if the same is happened for another 10 houses which rented to 8-10 students also, then there will be quite a number of vehicles parked outside and may have traffic obstruction in the future.

and seriously, i don like the way they hanging their clothes on the window grill and gate. at least a proper way.

Ken Rimba brand attracting buyers

By Wong Mei Kay
Friday, 14 June 2013 13:38

PETALING JAYA: With its Ken Rimba name growing in recognition, Ken Holdings Bhd’s latest launch, Jimbaran Residences, in the Ken Rimba green township in Shah Alam, Selangor, has received very positive response from buyers.

“Our Ken Rimba brand has gone from strength to strength and is now a very recognisable name with homeowners. Homes built inside Ken Rimba have been extremely successful and it is a different approach in developing Malaysia’s first green township,” said group managing director Sam Tan.

Jimbaran Residences is Malaysia’s first recipient of Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority Green Mark Gold Plus (provisional) for landed residential terraced house development. It has a gross development value (GDV) of RM150 million and 168 freehold homes.

A preview of Jimbaran Residences in March for Ken Holdings’ repeat buyers saw a take-up rate of 80%. The project will be launched tomorrow.
Tan said Jimbaran Residences is an upgrade of the earlier phase, Legian Residences. “Jimbaran Residences comes with built-in lofts after we noticed the extra rooftop space in Legian Residences.”

Prices of the houses start from RM620,000, with land area of 22ft by 65ft (intermediate lots), 44ft by 65ft (corner lots) and 39ft x 65ft (zero lots).

According to Ken Holdings, there are two more condominium and two more commercial phases within the 60-acre (24ha) Ken Rimba in the pipeline.

“We are planning to launch the first phase of our Ken Rimba condominiums by year-end. Already, we have a very big number of registrants eagerly anticipating the launch of these green condos,” Tan said.

He said while Ken Holdings intends to build the condominiums to achieve a high Green Mark rating, the developer hopes to maintain the affordable price range.

The estimated GDV for the first phase of the condo is around RM300 million. The project consists of three blocks with built-ups of 1,100 sq ft and three bedrooms.

Among the active and passive green features in Ken Rimba are the north-south orientation for the homes, energy-efficient lighting, breathable roofs with large overhang, high window to wall ratio, transparent skylight, rainwater harvesting tanks, and the use of low volatile organic component paint for interior walls and reflective paint for exterior walls to reduce external heat. The homes are equipped with solar-powered heaters. The developer also offers composting areas within the community to encourage green practices.

Previous phases within the township include Legian Residences and the Ken Rimba commercial centre. In 2010, Legian Residences was Green Mark Gold and GBI certified. The Legian Residences comprises 328 double-storey terraced homes.

According to Tan, the homes have appreciated by about 30% in the secondary market.

The Ken Rimba commercial centre, which consists of shop lots, is in the midst of being handed over to the owners. It was the first commercial centre to be Green Mark certified (provisional) in 2010.

The freehold site for Ken Rimba was acquired from Hock Hup Development Sdn Bhd in 2003 for RM25 million. Ken Rimba, which has a GDV of RM500 million, was launched in September 2010. When completed, the township will comprise two terraced home components, two condominium developments, a commercial centre and a commercial complex.


This article first appeared in The Edge Financial Daily, on June 14, 2013.

at the 3rd lane after the guard house

I think everyone has answered on behalf of me already.

I saw for myself. All motorbikes, they make noise and hang clothes everywhere.

They are required to register their names everytime they enter and now from what I last heard they just ride in and pass the guard without registering (even after being whistled by the guard).

I would like to see how the management handles this issue before concluding whether to purchase a unit of Jimbaran. hmmm...

i wrote to complaint that this place is becoming a GnG squatter area bcos of the students!

Hahaha!!!

Last week I witnessed student just pass through (knee down & walk) the gate without report to Security guard as they are busy registering us, and I saw bunch of motorcyclist exit using ONLY 1 access card.

Any updates from your guys?

How is this area? Is it true that the access road will get flood?

Probably you can raise this issue to the management? At the same time, the owner should be informed as well. I don't mind students staying if they are well behaved but this is over the line.

Try visit the area when heavy rain n c urself.... As far as I know...not much ppl from klang invest here since they know.. Good luck!!

My father went to puspacom once a week. So far didn't notice the flood issue here...

Anyone did their kitchen extension? Are you allowed to fully extend or only half?

I saw most houses extended half only.

Thanks.

Got flood nearby Bak Kut Teh area (road junction there) but didn't notice around Ken Rimba...

The house behind mine got full extension. Yeah I guess you can do it but remember put back the tanks....

Yea man the tanks

Such a bummer lol

if it rains heavily.... the flood will happen not inside the housing area but at the entrance....

it will flood as the drainage system outside at the shops area is bad...
flood sometimes reaches near the IMS building...

i saw that and went through it last year when i was going to see some houses there... not too sure though whether it has been fixed... maybe if you drive a 4x4 or a pickup... no problemo

I went last night it was raining so far OK.

Anyone has any reno photos to share?

flood do happend, no wonder the subsale price never go upsince last year after vp, hang around at 520k...

Haha you need to go on heavy rain day to prove flood is not there.
Still survey haven't start reno...

which entrance do u mean? as i know, there are 2 entrance from federal highway:

1) Nearby puspakom

2) Nearby pulai bak kut teh

He mentioned about IMS building, it should be Bak Kut Teh area. Yes it will flood i have experience due to heavy rain. The river just besides this area.

Never heard about puspakom area got flood but I wish someone can share with us if it does.

Never heard puspakom area flooded but the corner where the BHP station is located, yup, its floods quite often

If anyone has some reno pics, please share ya.. I'll share mine once it starts. hehe

the developer sell the unsold units ta legian intermediate with 610k above..and subsale price only at around 530k....this developer is too over confident on themselves..

It's actually 625k with 10% discount as well as all the processing few borne by the developer. I just bought a unit there.

Actually, the developer will rebate 10% (minus the 5k deposit). So if 610k, the actual price is actually 610k-61k+5k = 554k. Legal fees, etc by developer. U pay only 5k upfront

Subsale 530k on the other hand, u pay 53k plus legal fee, MOT, mumbo jumbo, say 20k. So slightly cheaper but u need 73k upfront

Ya developer unit after discount and minus all the legal fee let say around 20k, then the sell price is around 550k....around same buy from subsale.....but the acesss road and surrounding is quite terrble...

Hopefully you'd be able to capitalise on the female students renting around Legian...

Any updates on the full extension budget?

20k++ just wet works to extend fully to the back, separate wall for tank. Not partial extension and no table top. Thick rebars, roof, concrete slab above and so forth. Still under progress..

I just bought a unit there for own occupation. Today i went there to check defection and saw a lot of students there playing basketballs in the middle of roads and few malay guys are with motorbike driving here and there..
I was thinking whether i choose right township == i feel very unsecure with all this...

May i know Yours is which row? I plan for full extension as well..

You'll need to make a complaint to the management. They will do something about it. The more the residents complaint, the higher the chances of something being done.

honestly, this area is terrible, pack in the middle on industry area, somemore with telecommunication tower with radiation effect..what do you expect on those industry area? they are not going to move out from there.

the landscape also not impressive at all, not even have a garden in the own residential area, the garden is located outside the residential area, which means more like a public garden. now majority residents there are UITM students, all behave quite terrible. and the developer use cheap chain link fence wall, should use some brick wall as guarded wall.

the maintenance fee+ sinking fund is RM100 for legian, consider very high with just cheap chain link fence and guarded service, not even have a proper private residential garden, not to say clubhouse facility.

a very fail project from ken developer.
