Taman Putra Prima has mainly released double-storey linkhomes in their development over a few phases, but now they are entering into a (slightly) higher range of homes with larger build-up. Most of the earlier phases of Taman Putra Prima (TPP for short) have been well received, over the few phases they’ve managed to iron out some of the kinks in their design to improve their homes. They’re one of the few developers to actively seek their purchasers feedback on the design.
For the review of the earlier phases here on Property Malaysia, you can read it here:
Taman Putra Prima: Phase 4B (Azurite)
Taman Putra Prima: Phase 4A (Beryl & Ivory)
To get to TPP, you need to turn right at the Puchong Utama LDP interchange, then at the third traffic lights, turn right and go all the way to the end of the road and you‘ll see the development on your left. As a general rule the area on the right of the dual carriageway is part of MPSJ (hence, Puchong) and on your left would be Sepang. Along the way on the right, you’ll see projects like Tasik PrimaPuchong Tekali and the mature Puchong Utama township. On the right you’ll Taman Putra Impiana and a lot of empty land. Beyond that area projects like Puchong Prima, Bandar Bukit Puchong 2, Meranti Jaya, Bandar Nusaputra (reviews here, here and here) and the older Amanputra and Putra Perdana.
You are encouraged to read about our take on the quality, accessibility, connectivity and overall look of the development there as we won’t repeat it here.
For TPP, bigger units at slightly higher prices is something of a new step here. Amethyst is a limited phase of only 22 units set in a small area that is right next to the existing phase of double-storey linkhomes. Here the plot size is 24′ x 80′, only slightly longer than a standard linkhome, but the built-up is at a spacious 2,408-2,891sq.ft. For those of us who are used to living in homes around 1,800 to 2,000sq.ft. or below, it is not difficult to appreciate the extra 400 to 500sq.ft. in your living space. Although on paper it usually doesn’t look much, you can easily see the difference upon first impressions when entering the show unit. But of course its all relative, if you are used to living in a 4,000sq.ft. bungalow, then…
There are only 4 rows of units, all arranged in a semi circle, concentrically enclosing a field. This layout allows a high ratio of corner units to intermediate ones, 8 in total.
Building footprint is a regular rectangle shape, with ample driveway able to fit up to 4 cars. There are 4+1 rooms, with 3 baths, with a pretty standard design with bedrooms 2 & 3 sharing an attached bath (a design holdover from the late 90’s wethinks). The ground floor takes up a smaller footprint than the 1st floor, mainly because the yard is quite big. Corner lots come with welcome garden space, which we think makes it workable for the small ground floor area. With the wide 24′ frontage, this benefits the masterbedroom.
For that extra space, they are marketing it at RM381k to RM550k. They are throwing in some freebies, please check with the salespeople for the latest info.
The area shares the same gated entrance as an earlier phase. There is also a central linear park for this phase.
So it is a small addition for TPP to add to the growing neighbourhood, although this area still remains low density, with the phase all spaced out very well, and no condominiums up as yet. For the pricing, it seems a little steep for a slightly wider and longer linkhomes, but the limited number and surrounded location may sway buyers.
