Puteri Palma 1, Putrajaya Insights

Puteri Palma 1 is part of the IOI Resort development in Putrajaya. One of the many developments of IOI Properties Bhd, this property was completed in 1998 on prime freehold land and is surrounded by modern hospitals, universities, international schools, outdoor activity centres, avant-garde shopping malls, government and commercial offices and equipped with a host of exclusive amenities. Its main attraction lies in its Mediterranean resort setting, where it merges rustic country tranquility with modern city conveniences, while being nestled on a challenging world class golf course. This low- and medium-rise development has breathtaking views of the surrounding 18-hole Palm Garden Golf Course, Le Meridien-Putrajaya Hotel, IOI City Tower offices and secondary forest.

The facades of white and peach colours, terracotta red roof tiles, cascading waterfall and swimming pools with landscaped flora are evergreen characteristics that set the tone for this low-density development. **##Location##** Access to this paradise-like development is well-supported by the South Klang Valley Expressway and KL-Seremban Highway besides main roads like Persiaran Utara and Persiaran Putrajaya. These will bring you to the KL city centre within 20 minutes. Hotels like Putra Shangri-La Malaysia, the Marriot and Palm Gardens are all a short drive away as well as shopping centres like Alamanda, IOI City and Suria Putrajaya malls. Alice Smith International, Nexus World and Tanarata International are some of the international schools close by.

Serdang Hospital is 6 minutes by car and the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park takes just a minute more.

There is no overcrowding or over-development where every family and individual has his or her own space. The Mediterranean resort-like atmosphere with its palm trees and panoramic views is in a class of its own and will continue to attract the rental market too such as expatriates working in KL. There will also be many takers like office workers from Cyberjaya and its many multi-national companies, not to mention golf and nature enthusiasts. Despite the impressive design, prices are not overinflated. This means that these residences will not only retain their value but will continue appreciating over the years.
