UEM Sunrise Celebrates Residensi AVA’s Topping Out, Marking its Presence in the Kepong Skyline
KUALA LUMPUR, 3 November 2023 – UEM Sunrise Berhad (“UEM Sunrise” or the “Company”), through its joint venture partnership with Melati Ehsan Group, called Mega Legacy (M) Sdn Bhd (“MLSB”), has announced that the first phase of its flagship township, Kiara Bay, Residensi AVA in the mature and long-established neighbourhood of Kepong has reached to the top earlier today, signified by completing its roof slab on the topmost floor.
“Residensi AVA is our first step in building the master township of Kiara Bay in Kepong, with visions to transform it into a ‘15-minute City’ by 2045. Its topping out ceremony held today is also a significant milestone to develop Kiara Bay into a sustainable township and a lively urban living destination that is inclusive in our multi-generational communities as well as further marking our presence in the Klang Valley”, said UEM Sunrise Chief Executive Officer Sufian Abdullah, who is also one of MLSB’s directors.
In addition to Sufian, key attendants that led the Residensi AVA’s topping out ceremony included MLSB Chairlady Zaida Khalida Binti Shaari; MLSB Director Tan Sri Dato’ Yap Suan Chee; SA Architects Sdn Bhd Director Ar. Richard Sau; UEM Sunrise Chief Operations Officer (Central) Liong Kok Kit; and ORANGEBEAM Construction Director, Dato Indera Tun Putera Matin Ahmad Shah.
Since the unveiling of Residensi AVA in 2019, MLSB has faced and overcome numerous challenges, including the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the topping-out ceremony is a positive testament to the 1.78-hectare (4.41-are) development’s continuous resilience and commitment to its handover in Q3 of 2024, further instilling confidence among its future residents and the communities surrounding it.
Residensi AVA sets the tone for elevated urban eco-living with an emphasis on liveability, where its design draws inspiration from the concept of symmetry and balance, similar to the wings of a butterfly. The development consists of two towers, both 41 storeys high, totalling 870 units. Its units consist of various built-up sizes from 75 m2 (813 ft2) to 119 m2 (1,285 ft2), all to cater to different generational needs and lifestyles. Its amenities offer a much-needed balance between living and leisure, such as a 50m Olympic-length lap pool, a wading pool, badminton courts, a half basketball court, a yoga deck, a sky deck, and more, encouraging its residents to embrace an active lifestyle after the daily grind. Prices start from RM567,800 onwards.
With an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM664 million, Residensi AVA’s construction progress is 75%.
Residents of Residensi AVA can enjoy close proximity to the well-known Kepong Metropolitan Park for their leisurely activities as well as various retail offerings at Kiara Bay’s retail space, called The Beat, which is directly connected to the park. The multi-generational development also boasts easy access to the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and Jalan Kepong, both easily connect commuters to other highways such as the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE), Selayang-Kepong Highway and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP). Since Residensi AVA is only a 2km drive to the nearest MRT station - Jinjang MRT station, residents can also travel to various parts of the Klang Valley along the MRT Putrajaya Line.
Due to Residensi AVA’s encouraging take-up of 99%, the Company has since unveiled Kiara Bay’s second phase, Residensi ZIG, in September 2023, further solidifying the master township’s position as the next preferred property hotspot in the Klang Valley.
Spanning 29.4 hectares (72.74 acres), Kiara Bay consists of three districts with a 1km green connector that links them all, such as The Waters, consisting of a mix of residences with a lakefront retail space; The Walk, a community-centric marketplace with residences; and The Village, an inclusive multi-generational wellness and living, surrounded by green spaces. Both Residensi AVA and Residensi ZIG are located in The Walk district.
