Sri Ixora, Section 27 Shah Alam
When talking about buying residential homes in Shah Alam, one tend to think of places like Kota Kemuning or Bukit Rimau, or the small growth area around the large stadiums. But a lot of people don’t realize that there have been some nice housing areas that have been launched within the last few years. An associate of ours bought a great linkhouse in the area a few years back, we liked the place a lot.
(Location map will be uploaded soon, thanks for being patient!)
Gadang has launched a mid-priced apartment in Section 27 (also called Taman Bunga Negara), a place more known for roundabouts and factories like Canon, Sharp and Shin-Etsu. Sri Ixora, as it is called (isn’t there another condo somewhere in the city with the same name…?). Being at the edge of Shah Alam gives accessibility to USJ, Putra Heights, Puchong, the NKVE, LDP and other parts of the huge city of Shah Alam.
For a mid-price apartment, this place offers plenty of facilities like swimming pool, parking space (it is after all, a residential apartment), shops, security, and function rooms. At the moment, the developers are actually throwing in some goodies for the moment like free legal and S&P documentation, and full financing (these items came with lots of asterisks ***, so…). Please check with the developer for more info on these offers.
There are two types of units basically, 773sq.ft and 800sq.ft, not giving much of choice for buyers, but they make up for it in other departments (more on that later). The layout for both types are a little unconventional, but I’m guessing some buyers may not mind too much the small quirky nooks and crannies.
This is a mid-priced apartment, so it’s obviously not to be compared to higher priced condominiums and apartments in other ‘hot’ areas like Puchong or Petaling Jaya. For some people, living in Shah Alam or buying property there represents a change mindset for a lot of people more accustomed to more densely or more favourably populated areas. As a plus, Shah Alam is relatively peaceful and more properly planned than other neighbouring districts (massive factory lots notwithstanding), and at the moment its still quite low density.
The other thing that goes will for this place is of course its affordability. Buyers should also note that the City Council of Shah Alam has some restrictions on certain types of businesses, so you may have to travel a little distance to the commercial districts of Puchong or Subang.
Gadang has previous experience as a contractor, and in recent years have moved to property development just like many of their peers. They have developed earlier projects in Puchong and Segambut.
