ne of the more highly anticipated projects this year is the developer’s first transit-oriented development (TOD) in Taman Connaught, Cheras. Sitting on a 6.86-acre freehold tract adjacent to the Taman Connaught MRT station, the mixed-use development will comprise 2,413 residential units in four blocks, as well as some shops on the ground floor.

The residential units will be launched in two phases — the first (1,175 units) in 4Q2022 and the second at a later date. The units will have built-ups of 330 to 1,266 sq ft and are indicatively priced from RM200,000, targeting young executives and young families.

“We have always responded to the needs of young buyers living in KL. We know that these buyers do not prioritise private luxury. They prioritise being next to a public transit system, which is only four stops away from Tun Razak Exchange. As such, we are confident that we are able to curate the right product for them,” says Sufian.

“We know there is a gap in providing the right product, the right pricing and the right features to young executives, especially those between the age of 28 and 40, as well as families who want to live near the city centre and enjoy the benefit of public transport.

“We have also amplified that with the curation of very specific product features. Living in the city now carries a different meaning, as there is a flexibility given to working at home. As such, we will provide platforms and opportunities for people to be close to their home, not necessarily to work at home, but rather be in a conducive environment to work away from the office and close enough to meet the needs of families.”
