Taman Meranti Jaya: Phase 3, Puchong
If you think you’ve seen quirky company names, make sure you check this one out. The subsidiary name is Wandeerfull Property & Development.
But on to the project. Taman Meranti Jaya is located on the road leading branching off the LDP, leading towards Taman Putra Prima. The earlier phases of the development have been completed for some time now, and you can see them as you drive along the road going to this latest phase. This third phase, which they launched earlier this year, consists of 182 numbers of 2 and a half storey link homes, designed with a contemporary look. Comparatively, this is quite a departure from the earlier phases which employed a more traditional look.
The land is ex-plantation freehold, and the surrounding areas are still undeveloped, which is surprising for a Puchong project. But it won’t be long, though, as more and more projects are being planned.
The semi-D unit has the 3rd floor at the front of the unit, giving the house a front heavy look, and we really like the façade and colour combination of it. There are two floors of similar balconies, and they have opted for a darker grey and white look.
The plot is 22’x 70’, which does not really justify the ‘super-link’ tag, and only goes to show how loosely developers use these terms these days. The build-up comes to 3,020sq.ft., and there are 5 rooms and 4 baths. The units come with a large balcony on the top floor facing the back of the house, and with the right location you can get a decent view. 3,020sq.ft. is a good size for a 2 and a half storey unit, and there are two large master bedrooms but without space for walk-in closets. The other two rooms share a bath.
The price is from RM461,100 to RM695,300, which is high for a link home and this location. But maybe they’ve factored in the contemporary design and freehold land status, but it’s hard to justify it when you can get a bigger unit nearer to the city at the same time. But we like the design, although we are not necessarily in favour of this location. The finishing provided is quite standard and as for quality, buyers can check out the completed earlier phases as an indication of what you should be getting. Judging from the actual show unit, we think there are some areas that need touch up, hopefully the other units will have the rushed-up issues we observed.
Tanming has many projects across the Klang Valley. A recent one that we reviewed is Taming Mutiara in Sungai Long.

Actually, Phase 3 (A)comprising 68 units were launched early last year. This developer is pretty low profile and sells their properties thru its reputation and word by mouth from satisfied purchasers. Currently, Phase 3 (B) comprising 69 units are launched with a RM428,800 price tag. I have been a keen observer of Tan Ming and been following their development and am quite impressed with their workmanship and meeting their timeline in delivering their properties. Hence, I took the plunge to invest in this unit. Like the functional lay-out and decent finishes provided which will eradicate unnecessary renovations and headache of getting a reliable contractor and,importantly, saving time, money and energy too!

my personal opinion, i have viewed quite a number of housing development in Puchong area, and in terms build up vs pricing, I think this Meranti Jaya Phase 3 has the best value for money (just solely on build up vs pricing). Of course that is not the only thing to consider. This housing development is situated just beside a SMI area. I can smoke/vapour coming out the whole day long from the ceramic tile factory behind it.
