Pandeiro - Show House

Seri Kembangan a middle-class area in the making

SERI Kembangan is fast transforming from a sleepy hollow into a middle-class neighbourhood as this area is a “hot spot” of housing activities, much like Puchong in the mid to late 1990s.  

A major change is along a stretch of Jalan Putra Permai where two public-listed companies, Equine Capital Bhd (ECB) and LBS Bina Bhd, have their mixed leasehold developments.  

ECB has four projects here: it started off with the 450-acre Equine Park. It then added three more – Putra Permai, a 150-acre mixed development adjacent to Equine Park (2,000 affordable apartments, terrace houses and 60 shop offices) and across Jalan Putra Permai, is the Permai Park and 250-acre Pusat Bandar Putra Permai that is also taking shape.  

LBS Bina has two projects (opposite Equine Park): the 277-acre Taman Pinggiran Putra and 80-acre Kota Perdana with 700 low-cost flats and 500 houses.  

When ECB started its Equine Park about 10 years ago, the area was fairly quiet and rubbish was strewn along the road. Today, the rubbish dumps are gone and Jalan Putra Permai has been widened into a dual three-lane carriageway. Like many townships, this main road is also congested during peak office hours. 

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy gave hope to some 200,000 residents living in the many housing estates in the area when he said at the recent launch of the Permai Central Transport Hub, that his ministry would consider a proposal for an interchange (between Equine Park and Taman Universiti Indah) to link up with the KL-Putrajaya/Cyberjaya Dedicated Highway. 

ECB executive chairman Datuk Patrick Lim Soo Kit said the area’s growth had been tremendous and the interchange would help to disperse and ease traffic flow. 

Lim said for the price of a link house in other prime areas, one could buy a semi-detached house with a lifestyle concept in his Seri Kembangan projects that have access to highway. “People can see our quality finishes and are confident that we can deliver,” he said, adding that its landed properties have fetched good capital gains. 

What is amazing is that prices of intermediate shop offices (behind Jusco) jumped to RM650,000 when they were handed over in 2006. The launch price in 2003 was RM338,000, said Lim. 

Meanwhile, Equine Park has more greenery and a more upmarket feel as it has the Alice Smith International School, Le Cheval Blanc (a function area on top a small hill), Royal Selangor Equestrian Academy and some nice bungalows. 

About 80% of the 800 bungalow lots have been sold. From only RM24 per sq ft in 1997, ECB is now focusing on selling land with bungalow at RM63 per sq ft for the land. 

ECB is keeping the 20-acre Equine Drive-tru-Mall, a neighbourhood commercial precinct, for rental income. Besides renting out the year-old Jaya Jusco shopping mall there, it is also renting out the Maybank building due to be completed in August.  

The Putra Permai commercial centre comprising three- and four-storey shops is well occupied and is next to the low-medium-cost (LMC) apartments on top a hillock, which I feel could have been used for more high-end homes. 

ECB, as a caring developer, is probably the first in the country to provide computer centres for its LMC apartments and has also built 1,050 low-cost flats in the township. 

The Subang Jaya Police District Headquarters is also located in one of the shop offices. The presence of about 20 CCTV cameras at strategic places has helped to boost public confidence. 

The Permai Park is also coming up with The Eminence, 216 units of 2½-storey terrace houses nearing completion beside Jalan Putra Permai. Initially priced from RM233,980 (current market price around RM330,000), these 4+1 room houses with 2,165 sq ft built-up area are the biggest link houses built by ECB. 

Realising that buyers need more rooms, ECB has also developed link houses with up to 5+1 rooms although some of the rooms are rather small. 

While part of Pusat Bandar Putra Permai are mostly link houses with some 600 low-cost flats, the amenities core near the main road has shop offices to be built at the Permai Central Transport Hub, newly completed Permai Square shop offices, Selangor Wholesale Market and a people’s bazaar. Two suraus will be built. 

With three bus services (current two are Metro and RapidKL, and Skybus in future), residents can have better transportation services to Kuala Lumpur and to the low-cost carrier terminal in Sepang. There are also five universities in the area. 

Among the nearby new projects are Serdang Heights, Bukit Ikhlas, Alam Sanctuary and D’Alpina. 

Transport hub for Seri Kembangan

RESIDENTS of Bandar Putra Permai in Seri Kembangan will have better access to public transport with the launch of the Permai Central Transport Hub (PCTH).  

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy launched the hub, which is located at Pusat Bandar Putra Permai and developed by Equine Capital Berhad, on Friday.  

PCTH, which comprises a five-storey commercial block, four blocks of shop offices and a seven-storey office tower, is an integrated commercial development combining business, leisure and public transport.  

Chan said the hub, which would be completed in 2010, would improve the efficiency of public transport catering to the needs of residents.  

“It will also greatly benefit the surrounding academic institutions, namely Universiti Putra Malaysia, Multimedia University and Lim Kok Wing University,” he said.  

The hub would act as a focal point for bus and taxi operators serving the area, he said, adding that he hoped it would be an excellent example for other townships to emulate.  

Equine Capital Berhad executive chairman Datuk Patrick Lim said the hub would cater to the convenience of about 45,000 households and an immediate population of 200,000 people.  

“It will provide services to people living in housing estates such as Pusat Bandar Putra Permai, Equine Park and its surrounding areas, and the bus companies will extend ir services accordingly,” he said.  

RapidKL and SkyBus have committed to the transport hub and provisions are being made to ensure that PCTH complies with the disabled-friendly guidelines to cater for a wider range of users in society.  

Lim said it would provide a high level of pedestrian traffic and cater for more than 1,000 passengers a day as well as encourage various commercial activities.  

The hub enjoys superb accessibility with direct frontage onto Pusat Bandar Putra Permai as well as an extensive network into major expressways, including LDP, the North-South Expressway, ELITE highway, SILK highway and the dedicated KL-Putrajaya Highway, which will be completed in 2008.  

The PCTH will have approximately 31,586 sq. m (340,000 sq ft) of commercial space, complete with facilities such as lifts, public toilets, and waiting areas for taxis, buses and passengers.

Go ahead for road projects

TENDERS have been awarded for several road projects designed to ease traffic in Seri Kembangan. 

The Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) is optimistic that the projects will lessen congestion by 30%.  

The total cost of RM10.4mil will be borne by a large pool of developers of housing and township projects of various sizes in Seri Kembangan. Currently, congestion is mainly along Jalan Besar. 

Seri Kembangan assemblyman and MPSJ councillor Datuk Liew Yuen Keong announced details of the projects at his office in Taman Bukit Serdang recently.  

He said a RM5.8mil carriageway would be built to connect Sections 1 and 7 of Serdang Perdana while a RM3mil carriage-way would be built between Bukit Serdang Section 14 and the Puchong-Sungai Besi Bypass near the Bukit Jalil Highway. 

“An additional carriageway will be constructed from Bukit Serdang 3/1 to Jalan Putra Permai and connecting with Bukit Serdang Section 3. The first phase will cost RM1.6mil,” he said. 

“Work on all three projects will start at the end of April and will be completed within six months to a year. We estimate that 15,000 households in Seri Kembangan will benefit from this,” Liew added. 

The first project will benefit residents of Serdang Perdana, Sungai Besi Indah, Mines, Bala-kong, Serdang Lama and Taman Muhibbah because motorists heading to Kuala Lumpur will no longer travel through Serdang Raya. 

“The second project is good news to Serdang Raya residents because the Bukit Serdang Section 14 connection will allow heavy vehicles from the Bukit Serdang Industrial Area to by-pass the residential area,” Liew said. 

With the by-pass to be built under the third project, residents of Bukit Serdang Sections 6 to 14, Taman Serdang Utama and Kampung Seri Kembangan would no longer use Jalan Besar. 

Liew also revealed details of a Public Works Department project to build a RM14.5mil flyover to ease congestion at the Serdang Raya junction. This will ease traffic on Jalan Utama Serdang Raya and will be completed by the end of 2008. 

“The council is also in discussions with the PWD, Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) and police to work out additional plans to solve traffic woes on Jalan Besar. 

“Proposed plans include building carriageways via Bukit Serdang 3/1, the Seri Kembangan Commercial Centre and Seri Kembangan 6/1. 

“All this will only reduce congestion by a certain percentage but the Jalan Putra Permai-Putrajaya Dedicated Highway link will definitely benefit all,” said Liew. 

“Even Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo is aware of the council’s appeal to the Works Ministry for the proposed link and he is agreeable, seeing it would be the only link from Selangor. We hope the Works Minister will consider the state and council’s stand,” he added. 

Liew, however, expressed unhappiness over the decision not to extend LRT services to Seri Kembangan even though a station would be built in Puchong. 

“We urge the Economic Planning Unit to consider having an LRT station in Seri Kembangan because it would benefit residents as well as UPM and Uniten students. The KTM Komuter and Rapid KL services aren’t enough,” he added. 

Also present at the press conference were Residents Associations and Village Development and Security Committee representatives.
