The big names of the property industry revitalise one of Kuala Lumpur’s first property hotspots.

The South Western Kuala Lumpur area covers Bangsar, leading on to Bangsar South or formerly known as Kampung Kerinchi, including the Abdullah Hukum area, all the way up to the Bukit Kerinchi Hills.

Currently, these areas are individually undergoing massive transformation and redevelopment efforts by the established names in the property industry.

This locale is interesting as it holds a picturesque backdrop of contouring hills that merge with surrounding land masses, adding to the lure that many property purchasers are attracted to.

Bangsar South by UOA Development Bhd is today one of the more favoured townships within South Western Kuala Lumpur. This locale, initially named Kampung Kerinchi, has come a long way from its humble beginnings.

The 60-acre fully integrated residential and commercial enclave is centrally located and enjoys excellent Internet connection aside from being a transportation hub. The growing neighbourhood holds a variety of boutique malls, hotels and recreational facilities as well as an award-winning six-acre central park.

Since the revitalisation of Kampung Kerinchi, developers such as Suez Capital Sdn Bhd and EUPE Corporation Bhd have all taken part in the blossoming of the now vibrant location.

The releases by both these established property figures in the industry are currently being constructed along the Federal Highway and are dubbed KL Gateway and Novum respectively.

As one would venture deeper into Kampung Kerinchi, the hills of Bukit Kerinchi are clearly visible. Here, IJM Land Bhd has set a vision to carve through the forest, creating a forest community that would result in Kuala Lumpur’s one and only urban forest city.

This development by IJM Land is dubbed Pantai Sentral Park. The expanse is placed next to a 200-acre forest, designed to seamlessly blend into the forest providing its future residents as well as working community to get as close as possible to nature.

As of now, the developer has launched two phases within Pantai Sentral Park and these include Inwood Residences and Secoya Residences. This impressive mixed development by IJM Land is expected to be completed within the next 10 to 15 years.

As one would look down from the peak of Bukit Kerinchi, Mid Valley City can be seen. This shopping city is a thriving retail haven that calls the South Western Klang Valley region home. However, the attention grabber in the property industry with regards to this location is KL Eco City by SP Setia Bhd Group.

This cutting-edge development beholds a city of tomorrow exuding architectural boldness. The prestigious development will sit on a 25-acre prime plinth of land situated next to Mid Valley City. KL Eco City is the first integrated green luxury development that will be anchored by prime commercial offices, high-end retail outlets, world-class serviced apartments as well as luxury residential towers.

Aside from its stunning appearance, KL Eco City will also become a transportation hub as it is holds connectivity to the Abdullah Hukum station.

The Eco City station is a KTM Komuter proposed train station currently under construction.

The station primarily functions and is named after KL Eco City. The existing Abdullah Hukum LRT station is located beside the Eco City station and unified connectivity will be implemented in the near future despite the stations being named differently.

As one would move closer toward LRT Bangsar, within walking distance is where a revitalising development is being constructed a stone’s throw away from the popular Bangsar Village Mall.

Developed by Hap Seng Land Development (Bangsar) Sdn Bhd, Nadi Bangsar is a luxury freehold serviced apartment located off Jalan Maarof, near to the upscale area of Bangsar.

This serviced apartment is targeted for completion at the end of this year and comprises over 400 units of apartments in a single 38-storey block. Unit sizes offered range between 441 sq ft to larger 1,130 sq ft units.
