MKH launches final phase of Maple

MKH Bhd launched the final phase of Maple in Hillpark @ Shah Alam North on Sept 24. The 2-storey garden homes will be located next to the township’s 16-acre Central Lake Park.

Deputy property director Datuk Kenneth Chen tells City & Country that this phase, Phase 7B, comprises 257 units on 19.8 acres. Occupying plots of 20ft by 75ft, the houses will have built-ups of 1,554 to 1,816 sq ft. The selling price starts at RM613,000.

Each unit will have four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a utility room. Corner units will have a patio.

Partnership project

Chen says the first phase of Maple (Phase 7A), launched in March, is fully sold. Occupying 20.11 acres, the 233 units of 20ft by 70ft were sold for RM593,000 each.

“The design for Phase 7B is similar to Phase 7A, with only a small modification to the master bedroom window for the corner units,” he says.

“Maple is a project in partnership with PanaHome Malaysia Sdn Bhd and it will have the Panasonic Home & Living concept. It will also adopt the Japanese precast construction method as it is more efficient and reliable, thus the construction time is shorter.”

Last year, MKH signed an agreement with PanaHome to set up PanaHome MKH Malaysia Sdn Bhd to undertake building contract works for MKH’s residential projects.

PanaHome, a subsidiary of PanaHome Corp of Japan, owns a 51% stake in PanaHome MKH while MKH subsidiary Kajang Resources Corp Sdn Bhd holds the remaining 49%.

Facilities at the Maple development include a basketball court, reflexology area, multipurpose area, playground and linear park with a barbecue area. The adjacent Central Lake Park also has a garden path, camping court, open lawn, children’s playground, meditation area and football field.

Just a stone’s throw from Maple is the 35-acre Forest Park, which boasts a picnic area, viewing deck, football field and playground with a maze and mountain biking track.

Formerly rubber and oil palm plantations, Hillpark @ Shah Alam North is a 550-acre eco-themed township comprising super link homes, apartments, shopoffices, the Forest Park and the Central Lake Park. All the developments here are benchmarked against the Construction Quality Assessment System or the Quality Assessment System in Construction.

Several phases won The Edge Malaysia Affordable Urban Housing Excellence Award in the past.

The township is easily accessible via the Guthrie Corridor Expressway, KL-Kuala Selangor Expressway, North-South Expressway, Damansara-Puchong Expressway, Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway and New Klang Valley Expressway. Nearby institutions and facilities include Universiti Teknologi Mara, schools, medical centres and supermarkets such as Tesco and Econsave.

About 412 acres or 75% of the township have been developed. The company plans to develop its last landed residential properties on 72 acres, while the remaining land is earmarked for commercial development.
