TRAFFIC congestion in Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur, may have worsened in the last few years especially on the internal roads, but this is mainly due to narrow streets and haphazard parking.
Common sense, courtesy and stricter law enforcement will solve the problem. Other than that, Kuchai Lama is very attractive to property investors as it is strategically located and has good access via the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway, the New Pantai Expressway, Maju Expressway and the Shah Alam Expressway.
Kuchai Lama is also directly accessible from the Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel.
The connectivity and accessibility has made it convenient for residents in Kuchai Lama to travel to neighbouring areas like Taman Pagar Ruyung, Taman Continental, Taman Gembira, Taman Indrahana, Taman Lian Hoe, Taman Desa, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Salak Selatan, Taman Sungai Besi, Taman OUG, Bandar Baru Sri Petaling, Desa Petaling, Taman Bukit Angkasa, Bukit Kerinchi, Taman Desa Kerinchi, Taman Esplanad, Alam Sutera, Bukit Jalil, Technology Park Malaysia, Serdang and Seri Kembangan, as well as Bangsar and Petaling Jaya.
Contractor-turned-developer Menta Construction Sdn Bhd is banking on these advantages to launch aRM1.4 billion mixed-use development in Kuchai Lama and is bullish on sales.
I seriously wonder why none of the nearby residents plus the folks at Palace Court did not petition for a wider road. It's already very jam with folks going to the Goon Wah XOXO fish head restaurant daily.
Petition will only carry weight if include those in power i.e MP endorsement or better still the WP Minister itself else just another petition. All development will require to public infrastructure but question again whether local authority in this DBKL will spend this $$$$$

I really think that DBKL didn't compel the developers to do such infra upgrades in order to get their DO.
Then again, if that road going to the sales gallery is connected to Jln Kuchai Maju 9 in the future, then residents from both this project and Palace Court will have an alternate exit/entry instead of relying on that Jln Kuchai Jaya.

The development will widen the Jalan Kuchai Jaya till Shell petrol station Also a connection road between Jalan Kuchai Maju 9 and Jalan Kuchai Jaya will be built and handover to DBKL
So that's why project called as Kuchai Sentral as the presence will break the gap within Kuchai Lama area.
Wong says Arte @ Kuchai Lama, developed by Nusmetro Group, was launched at an average selling price of RM400 to RM580 psf. Meanwhile, newer developments such as GenKL by Asiana Agresif Sdn Bhd — a 30-storey tower with 332 luxury condos on a hillside at Taman Lian Hoe — was sold at RM650 to RM780 psf.
He believes that Kuchai Sentral in Taman Kuchai Jaya by Menta Corporation will be a landmark development there, similar to Publika for Mont’Kiara. The development offers 941 serviced apartments and 40 duplexes as well as 45 retail units.
“With the existing developments and those under construction, Kuchai Lama is slowly being transformed into a modern suburb of Kuala Lumpur. As the population in the area is predominantly middle-income, the majority of the buyers will be looking for properties priced RM1 million or below,” he says.
Dear @DiamondBar the above mentioned project is not located behind of shogun, that development is called Hermington.
the project is away from high tension cable (at least 400m away) and located beside Kuchai Entrepreneur's Park shops.
Yes, Herminton is just behind of Shogun and it is so close to high tension cable that Herminton residents can hang clothes on high tension cable. KL Palace Court is around 250 meter away from high tension cable, so Kuchai Sentral is about 150 meter away from high tension cable.
If do not believe, can go to check High Tension Cable just behind of Shogun...

@DiamondBar please do not misleading readers, Hermington is next of HT cable, but KL Palace Court & Kuchai Sentral is at least 400m away
Please refer the following Google Map screenshot with measurement for clarification
Kuchai Sentral is maiden project of Menta so you may not heard its name.
Menta has been established on 1982 and it is specialized on earthwork and infrastructure works, prominent projects completed / on going are Pan Borneo Highway Sabah section, Petronas Plant Pengerang Johor, etc.
The development on properties will be new arm for Menta.
In terms of location and convenience of life needs, Kuchai Sentral is a great deal to have own stays, you are welcome to visit our gallery (open daily).
It's convenient as it's close to the shophouses where there are quite a few eateries (e.g. Goon Wah restaurant), convenient stores, dental clinics and GPs, etc.
The bad part is that the roads going in and out of this project are rather narrow. The worst is the Jln Kuchai Jaya road connecting the shophouses where Goon Wah is as there's a lot of rampant parking on the roadside. Hopefully that once the road connecting to Jln Kuchai Maju 9 where this project's sales gallery is sitting on is returned to DBKL, then there will be an alternate route to escape from that former road.

To add, theres one abandoned building next to it. And some low cost apartment along the road. (not very well maintained)
Went to their gallery. Overall concept quite ok. Selling 530 to 560/sqft. Not really familiar with kuchai area. But 1800 unit wont it be too conjested?
will the road in front development open up to share access between palace court and Kuchai entreprenium? or they will fence up it as the garden to be construct at sales gallery area for Kuchai sentral residence usage only?

Linear Park will be handed over to DBKL (open park around 1 acre) and road in front as well.
This road consider as extension of "Jalan Kuchai Maju 9" from Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park to front of KL Palace Court.
Right now this is a private road for gallery access and construction use, sometimes we found neighborhood residents walk over to and fro Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park.

tqvm. means that linear park will be open for public. once the road is open, seen its very convenience for palace court residence to access Kuchai entrepreneurs rather than need to drive out the main road and turn back again.
any idea the abandon building or existing flat to be refurbish?
indeed type C is at a very good price..juz its face exactly sunset and the abadon building...and only 1 unit available per floor. but cost/sqft is quite ok
you can contact my team member Ms Mun 0173366781 for arrangement & assistant on more info
also will cover general Q&A here that have verified with developer so everyone can have a better experience investing or own stay for this nice project
placed booking for this duno loan pass onot, considering the paycuts blergh
bro if you had paycut & reflected in your salary slip, bank will have consideration to request add in joint borrower.
for the HOC yes they are in the mids of applying & still pending MOH to officially announce the gazette details, but all are expecting to be the same terms

If there is no crowded, mean there is no demand and no people want to go in. What to expect if not crowded but still want convenience nearby.
KL is always jam during peak hour, no matter where you live you cannot escape from it. Each project got pros and cons, depending on what is your requirement
There is no one project that comes with low density, amenities nearby, good accessibility, and with a good cheap price at KL.
Is this location good and convenient? Because I am not familiar with Kuchai Lama.
IMHO, it's kinda dangerous to buy area u r not familiar with.
But compare with few surrounding new projects, I think it's one of the better ones. 700/800m away from MRT. Ready amenities such as banks, NSK, restaurants nearby.

And also partially furnish right?
Yea. Come with 4 aircon, 2 water heater, kitchen cabinet (bottom), hood and job.
Leasehold and commercial title under HDA.
1051 sqft, 3r2b. About 560k loan (35 yrs) and maintenance 0.35 not included sinking fund. Monthly installment after maintenance around RM 2.5-2.6k. The maintenance a bit pricey here LOL
The management is under the developer and developer HQ will also moving to kuchai sental. As this is their first project, do you think they will allow red activities at there to damage their reputation?

Hmm, 9 out of the 10 mixed and township development told me the same thing, i.e developer office will move there, GMD/CEO staying at the penthouse and etc.
As usual, I'll just take their words with a pinch of salt. The stories are theirs to tell, the decision on whether should we part with our money for their appealing stories lie with us.
Anyway, when you compared the surrounding ambience and society dynamics against the developer/management aspiration, the former will usually trump the latter most of the times.
"🔥🔥Kuchai Residence Unit 1st Phase are selling fast. Close to meet Developer target. So developer decide to adjust price 5% higher for all unit on 27 Jul 2020 onwards."
Got this from a sale agent. Want to increase price during this down time? Quite a ballsy move I'll say.

Is story or not, is up to you to believe or not believe. Additional this is after 3 year thing, as a human we cannot predict the future, like maybe there will be build highway road, rumahwip nearby in future ? and same apply to here whether the management will be under developer or not. As long as you like the project and place, just buy the unit there.
Yes, agreed with your last point, future development surely will depend on the society and owner of the kuchai sentral. Then it depending on your foresight and whether is worth to buy there or not, is up to your personal decision. Just similar to sunway area now, there is total empty land in the past 20++ / 30 ++ year ago, now ? You can try to study the Kuchai sentral developer profile if you free, then believe or not believe is up to your decision.

Then you just wait after 27 July to see whether the price increase or not lo. Not believe then just wait. That’s simple.
Bro, just stating my personal take on this, no hard feeling ok?
I'm just surprised they wanna go increase the price at this point in time when most of the sale agents are aggressively pushing this project.

Even if you measure with a straight line to Kuchai Lama MRT station, it is more than 1km.

when owners form the JMB, they can lower the maintenance fee/sinking fund
I think what he mean is if for investing then need see nearby have rental market or not, but i think this one is hard to say one cuz we dont know how will the future to be. Similar to publika, at that time we also dont know it will success and value increase so high also.
But i believe kuchai sentral will be a new landmark in future with the strong profile of developer and contractor.
I think the project is overall not bad, but nearby abandon building, heard some rumors about there are some drug addict staying inside the building, might be a dangerous issue for the project in the future.

they took up the abandon building. you can see the green color fence cover it up. Heard will restructure into office and college
abandon building not an issue, it lowest than the building carpark. and the owners believe,after the mix development project complete, will bring benefit to these old building.

"Abandon building" actually has caretaker inside, and interior has no sign of drug addicts as per observation made on site.
Also, at this moment the developer of Kuchai Sentral has no affiliation with the abandon building owner.

I think the abandon building will be depend on how success the kuchai sentral is, if there is demand from the area, surely one day the abandon building will be taken up by either developer or other. In other word if there is no demand on that area, who will pay for that abandon building but there is no demand.
But from the sales chart, practical layout and concept of the kuchai sentral, it looks good and I think this developer will be success on develop it.
Guys, anyone buy duplex unit from kuchai sentral? any review? There is very less information about it.
duplex is a personal preference.. depending you wanna buy it for what purposes, but I rmb the size quite small, it only looks big because it have double volume.. I think the ground floor size smaller than their smallest normal layout
Guys, anyone buy duplex unit from kuchai sentral? any review? There is very less information about it.
Based on the layout i saw, duplex has 40 units where 20 on 2nd floor, 20 on 4th floor and its only available in Tower A. Hence, the entrance is passing through Tower A Lift with a passage (same floor as car park), 1 parking lot is given and designated on the floor of their main entrance. if you need a lower parking, go for 2nd floor.

Duplex unit!! what are they giving? currently what package they are running? but where can i put the dining table? I went to my friends place at Bangsar Alila.. i cannot tahan the kitchen ceiling height. i think 6 or 7 feet height.. or lesser... but my friend is shorter.. so shes fine with it. Btw.. any one have any issue cleaning the humongous window panel at the living room?
Tower A & Tower B Developer previously switched from residential to commercial, so fully service apartment
Tower A - 448 units (including 40 duplex), each floor 14 units with 5 lifts Tower B - 533 units, each floor 16 units with 5 lifts [seems high dense]
Show room will have 4 towers, so the launch currently will beside abandon building there. developer will foresee if there's a need to develop tower C & D in the future.
WHATS THE PROGRESS OF THIS PROJECT NOW? when is completion ? any HTC nearby?
You may refer https://kuchaisentral.com.my/registration/ for progression photo, I just found it useful. Fyi, the contract-wise stated the date of completion extended to four year from the day i bought, which is end of 2024, before that will not entitled for any LAD.

went to visit earlier today. layout is good. some freebies here and there. only downside is high density location - not sure how difficult it will be to rent this place out...

Kuchai Lama area if you need to worries then you no need to buy here already, since 2 rumah VVIP (Taman Gembira & Kuchai Entrepreneur Park) not yet added ongoing at least 5 project surrounding this small area. So what's your expectation now?
Just receive news, approve loan, not sign yet.. but as I recall, yes by developer
I see. Thank you. The booking form that i signed two days ago I realised it says developer absorb legal fee for SPA and loan. But didn't see absorb disbursements.just to be sure.
Hi All, so far is this project hot selling? I see lots of people in showroom, but may not necessarily means high sell rate
I bought a unit here but not for investment. It's the location, accessibility, walking distance to my favourite shops and eateries, etc.
Maybe just assess all the pros and cons and then decide if it suits your needs and budget. I wouldn't let the impression of hot selling, while stocks last, before HOC ends, or any attempt to pressure buyers into a quick buy, influence a purchase decision.

Any owners group here?
Wanted to check what freebies you get? and does the freebies like A/C, Kitchen cabinet written in S&P?

Developers don't put kitchen cabinet and ac into S&P. They will issue a letter offering these complimentary gifts with company chop. If not mistaken this time they are offering free kitchen cabinets, hood, hob, and 4 ac.

The letter didn't indicate much about the specs of those freebies, heard from Sales agent will be full wall kitchen cabinet with Teka Sink + Inverter Daikin A/C I guess just take it as a pinch of salt they might provide the lowest grade/brand?

Hi All, the agent served me told me that even water bill can be convert to residential rate. Is this true?
Based on other agents they said it is not possible due to commercial title, also a few other forumer agreed on this as well.
But who knows if there's any changes being made by the government in near future about this? But as of now I would say it is better that you assume the water bill conversion is mostly not possible and we need to live with commercial rate.

Well if you compare in term of % is a lot different, Residential Min RM6 Commercial Min RM36
That's 600% in difference Even the 1st band rate is about 360% more for commercial.
But if you were to put it to a gap, a RM30-50 gap is accurate and if that wasn't a big deal to you, then yeah not a big deal.
Electricity can be converted to residential rate.
*edit : On top of that if in future government plan to increase water tariff, commercial will be among the 1st getting targeted.
Ahh, do make sense But nowadays all those better condo is like that liao, got mall shops etc Unless find those deeper inside, but don't mind have to drive 10-20min to main road lor

Yeah convenience comes at a cost, just hope it doesn't turn in to another Setia Walk, paid for premium rate but no tenants to take the shop
how you cancel if signed S&P? agreed on slow, still on parking level.

anyone know where is the main entrance for kuchai sentral? for palace court, is it become walkable to shop lot area after kuchai sentral completed?
no idea, I'm been stay Palace Court before, and once in a while trying walk thru the Sales Gallery, the security guard blocked us and said they not allow Palace Court people walk thru over the places... so think wisely if you want to rent Palace Court don't believe what agent tell u, apa pun kene cuba
Location is truly in the centre of Kuchai, justifying the name, but the access road for now, is extremely poor and bad. Hopefully, with the second phase, they will open up the direct access road to Kuchai Entrepreneur's Park.
