Pangsapuri Alam Prima, Section 22 Shah Alam
For those of you frequenting the elevated stretch of the Elite highway near the CSR factory in Shah Alam, you would notice that recently there has been a spate of newly constructed condominiums coming up on both sides of the road. You can also see this if you travel along the Federal Highway. Some of them of been recently reviewed here on our site like Crosshill Indarisa.
If you notice another almost-completed condo right behind the Carlsberg factory, beside the little river, that’s Pangsapuri Alam Prima. To access the apartment, you have to turn off the main road (Persiaran Jubli Perak). This is the main road that links the ELITE interchange and the Federal Highway, and is very busy most of the time. Part of reason is because of the industrial area here (where CSR is located) and also it links to the KTM Komuter station. Some years back it used to also flood in this area whenever it rained, not sure if it is still the case.
Be that as it may, because of its connectivity this place is slowly becoming the next condo hub due to a number of reasons. Firstly its near Subang, and the connectivity is excellent. Most of the major highways pass by here (Guthrie Corridor Expressway, ELITE, Federal Highway). The other reason is that the entry cost is cheaper. Compared to nearby Subang, that is. The landed development project seem to be situated slightly further away, near NusaRhu or Bukit Bandaraya areas. But the condos are here.
This project is by SPNB, our national housing corporation, wholly owned by the Ministry Finance. This means two things - it should be slightly cheaper than a private developer’s pricing, and its assured not to be abandoned. I mean, its the MoF, isn’t it? Most people are also aware that SPNB has over the years built thousands of affordable houses across the country, you can see a list of it on their website listed below.
Pangsapuri Alam Prima is nearing completion on site, so purchasers don’t have to wait a full 3 years for their unit. Also since this is a SPNB initiative, they are giving some waivers for purchases, check with their personnel for details. This is, then a pretty much a no-frills project, maybe its all a good thing considering our global economy at the moment.
There are 321 units, with 4 types of layout designs to choose from. The two wings of building form an ‘L’, and since all surrounding the condo there arent any highrise, all units have a decent view. Actually there are mainly only 2 units, the other two largest types have very limited numbers (5 and 1 respectively). Type A is at 850sq.ft. and Type B is the smallest at 771sq.ft. Both these types have a 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, plus a balcony. The other two types are Type C (1,725sq.ft.) the largest and Type D (1,621sq.ft.). These two types have 4 + 1 rooms, with three baths. The extra room is a utility room with its own attached bath.
For facilities they have the adequate but minimum of shops, swimming pool, a function hall and playground in addition to the security facilities.
Prices start from from RM143,673 to RM323,836, depending on the unit type. This is from RM180psf, you be hardpressed to find a midcost condo at these rates if it was by a private developer.
