STANDING tall at the urban jungle and yet enjoying exclusive privacy in a premier location, the freehold project, 50-storey 8Kia Peng@KLCC, offers 442 residences that promise a chic lifestyle.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak officiated the launch of I-Bhd’s first luxury project of 8Kia Peng, King of the Hill on March 14.
He pointed out that the development of i-City and now the 8Kia Peng, King of the Hill by I-Bhd are good examples of the private sector contributing to the economic growth of the nation.
The prime minister is confident that 8Kia Peng will create even greater awareness of the Malaysia My Second Home programme, convincing the people from around the world that Malaysia is a place you can call home.
Since then, the project has been receiving positive response from interested parties, way before I-Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong launched the 8Kia Peng sales gallery located at Menara Bangkok Bank@Berjaya Central Park, Kuala Lumpur, on March 31.
8Kia Peng may be a glamorous and luxurious concept, but its vision originated from the simple nostalgic sentiment of the self-made tycoon.
Lim, who ventured into the ultrapolis project of i-City after his retirement, confessed that 8Kia Peng, King of the Hill was born from his desire to share the vantage point afforded by his former home of 30 years.
8Kia Peng’s single tower block is located at the higher ground of the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, and 80% of the units have direct view of both the Twin Towers and the central park.
The two-bedroom, fully fitted and furnished units with built-up sizes of 716 sq ft to 987 sq ft, provide comfortable living space in a ready to move-in condition.
8Kia Peng, poised to be a CONQUAS standard building, is expected to be completed in 2019.
Located within Zone One of KLCC, 8Kia Peng, King of the Hill is comfortably tucked away in a quiet enclave while in close proximity to numerous amenities in the heart of the city.
The project is targeted at global property buyers and those seeking the best views of KLCC and Petronas Twin Towers.
Besides the target market of 70% international buyers, the profile of the 30% local buyers are expected to be professionals of middle-to-upper income group.
“We would like to congratulate I-Bhd for coming to KL to build an iconic building for both locals and foreigners. I believe this project will help to enhance KL to be a liveable city, a world-class city Malaysians will be proud of,” said Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

The 8Kia Peng project with a gross development value of RM1bil is intended to cement I-Bhd’s position as one of Malaysia’s leading high-rise developers.
Members of the public are cordially invited to visit the StarProperty.my Fair i-City Edition 2016, which will be held at i-City from April 22 till 24, from 11am to 9pm.

I-Bhd’s global partners Al-Rajhi Banking Group, Central Pattana Group Thailand and Rozel will showcase their products and services at the special event, including Hilton and Best Western, which will be serving free coffee for the visitors.
Founder and managing director of Rozel Corp Gan Tai Hwa said: “Given the quality and design of our products, we are very confident it will be at par with the commitment of i-City to its purchasers. Rozel sofa designs will bring out the modern, chic and refined interior of the project.”
