The Herz is a mixed development project comprising 329 condominium units, 324 Rumawip units and14 commercial units.

THE entire Block B of The Herz in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, by Aset Kayamas has been sold out at its launch.

As early as 7am, people were lining up to get their hands on the 329 units in Block B of The Herz.

Aset Kayamas Sdn Bhd chairman Tan Sri Chai Kin Kong said they expected 600 to 700 people for the launch.

“The buyers are mostly second-generation Kepong residents in their late 20s to 30s who want to get their own place and at the same time be near their parents,” he said during a press conference at the launch.

The Herz lies on 0.9ha of land in Jalan Kepong and has a gross development value of RM300mil.

Herz means “heart” in German, which is fitting for the property that sits in the heart of Kepong.

It is a mixed development project comprising 324 Rumawip units, 14 commercial units and 329 condominium units.

The 37-storey condominium has built-up areas ranging from 1,073sq ft to 1,216sq ft.

The units are priced between RM448,000 and RM562,000, and each comes with a minimum of two carparks.

Future residents will be able to enjoy facilities such as an aqua gym, swimming pool, pool deck, herb garden, reflexology path, playground, hot tub and barbecue area.

Construction for The Herz is expected to start next month and be completed in three years.

“Our track record shows that we finish our projects even before they reach the three year mark. We are confident this will finish ahead of time,” Chai said, adding that they were planning to launch the Rumawip and commercial units next month.

Other than the facilities and affordable pricing of the property, the attraction is also its location.

“It will be conveniently located in close proximity to shopping malls and hypermarkets,” he said.

Metropolitan Lake Kepong and Forest Research Institute Malaysia are a short distance away and the condominium is just 700m from Aeon Big Kepong and 800m from Aeon Metro Prima.

It is also strategically accessible via KTM Komuter stations, MRR2 and Duke highways and the upcoming MRT stations.

The proposed MRT stations nearby include Metro Prima station, which is 850m away and Kepong Baru Station, which is 1.6km away.

Also present at the launch was Chai’s son Michael, who is the company’s executive director.
