9@Kinrara, Bandar Kinrara Puchong
This article is part of a series of reviews on the new and currently available phases in the massive Bandar Kinrara development. As you know, Bandar Kinrara is a matured, comprehensive housing project with excellent facilities. For our views on the location, quality, facilities and potential of this development, please read our Overall Development Review of Bandar Kinrara (go ahead, we strongly recommend you to read it here first).
Other than that, we have also reviewed the recently launched the Harmony (also double storey linkhouses) series, you can read the review here.
9@Kinrara isn’t the sales gimmick by our local leading English newspaper (although with our tabloids, nothing surprises us anymore!) but a series of very limited 22’x75’ linkhouses within Bandar Kinrara. The marketing concept here is that there are 9 different designs available. However, the designs aren’t radically different, just minor changes in the internal layout, plus corner units, that’s how they get 9. The façade is different, too, akin to the ‘alternating façade’ concept some developers have.
Most of the units have good layout design, we liked Type A, C and J. The ones we didn’t like were B and H. but then again, it’s not too much to complain about.
There are 112 units, so there is a degree of exclusivity and ‘special’ feeling of having a house where not many other houses share the ‘look’.
As with all the newer launches in Bandar Kinrara, there is a premium on the houses, mainly due to the place being almost fully developed, excellent amenities, and decent quality (seriously, did you read our earlier-mentioned overall development review?! ). If you compare the price to another 22’x75’ house in another nearby project, you might find the pricing a little steep, but bear in mind – freehold, low density, good address, 17 schools…
Within the project, 9@Kinrara is located in the up-market area, near some existing super-link homes. Some units will be facing a surau, TNB substation and a kindergarten. All the linkhouses are located on 5 blocks of units.
This phase being upmarket, has better than average finishing. For overall product quality, we think it should be good, but its best for you to take a drive and check out the existing units for a better feel.

It was launched 2 months before the Harmony phase. I just visited their sales office and there are 3 more link house left. Just would like to have more information or review on that project before i make a decision which one to buy. Thanks.

I think they have relaunched this phase as Simfoni @ Kinrara with a gated community concept thrown in.
Comment by Cel — November 24, 2006 @ 11:23 pm
Hi the Simfoni is now completed. It’s exclusive as it is a gated community, one of the very first in BK. It’s unique because of the limited unit. Price is steep but you pay for the exclusivity. Was informed that the intermediate unit will raise up to RM500K later with the RPGT waived as well as the rising cost of development. Generally a good buy I suppose. Any other different thoughts?
