MOST of us start our day by commuting to work and brave through tedious traffic jams before we can reach our destinations.
One of the main causes of these lengthy travelling times is the high job density in the central business districts.
With more companies opting for prime locations in the city centre, it contributes to the congestion in the hub and the spike in business operations costs.
MCT Berhad has envisioned a long-term solution for these concerns through its One City project.
Touted as the last parcel of commercial land in USJ, Subang Jaya, the 31ha plot of land is located within a mature 30-year-old neighbourhood.
Certified with MSC Malaysia status, the integrated three-phase project has a gross development value of RM5bil.
“Sime Darby developed about 1,200ha of land in USJ and 730ha in Putra Heights with more than 58,000 houses.
“One City is located between these two areas as well as near Puchong, and the 20,000ha Hicom industrial area, which makes it a natural location for an integrated development,” said MCT Bhd sales, marketing and office leasing senior general manager Teoh Eng Poh.
Linked to major highways such as Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP), Elite Highway, New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), travelling to the city centre as well as Petaling Jaya, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya would take about 25 minutes.
With an upcoming LRT station located just 300m away, the extension train services from the Kelana Jaya Line are set to provide convenience within the community.
The development, which is well into its third phase, prides itself on creating a living condition that integrates commercial and lifestyle conveniences.
“These factors complement one another, enabling One City to become a self-contained development,” said Teoh.
Phase three spans 8.09ha of One City, and is located adjacent to phase one and two.
It consists of three corporate tower blocks, a hotel with 954 rooms, one SOFO block, one SOHO block and a mega mall measuring 1.5 million sq ft.
“A total of RM40mil will be invested to build road linkages between the first and second phases to the third phase,” said Teoh.
He added that third phase alone would have sufficient parking space, with up to 9,000 bays available.
While the other components of phase three are in the pipeline, the SOFO tower, called the REO Suite, has been released for sale.
REO Suite comprises 1,115 studio and two-room units, with built-up areas ranging from 370sq ft to 609sq ft.
Equipped with two sky-high levels of leisure facilities at 46th and 47th floor, the tower features units designed in modern yet practical layouts that accommodate to today’s lifestyle.
With a GDV of 500mil, the units are priced between RM352,000 to RM602,550, set to be completed together with the other components in the second quarter of 2020.
With the right attributes, One City aims to become one of the preferred business addresses, especially for multinational companies.
“You just have to put in the right proportion of elements into the right location, and it would be hard to fail,” concluded Teoh.
