JKG Land crafts innovative high-rise that's enhanced with green technology

Here’s a property targeted at young executives, starter families and upgraders. The ERA, along Jalan Segambut in Kuala Lumpur, is being fashioned by developer JKG Central Park Sdn Bhd (JKG Land).

This high-rise development will be sited on 14.8 acres of freehold land and comprise a total of 2,923 units offered in three phases.

Each phase or tower will don a distinct theme – Dawn, Noon and Eve. The towers will have individual block heights of 53 to 63 storeys.

ERA will be built on the Forest Village concept whereby the development will have over five different species of half-century-old trees to provide shady comfort and exploration for residents.

The Fiesta Walk.

The property will offer over 100 serviced apartment facilities as well as a commercial area dubbed the Festival Walk which consists of three stories of interconnected retail space totalling 277,000 sq ft.

ERA’s design is inspired by life in Kuala Lumpur’s concrete jungle; the development strives to achieve a delicate balance between nature and the urban accents of modern living.

A noteworthy advancement in this property is a retail boulevard designed without air-conditioners but it manages to achieve a consistent temperature of 26 degrees Celsius by incorporating sufficient shade in its layout.

In addition, space is also configured to enhance air movement that results in a natural cooling effect. Carefully-selected plants, as well as vertical greens, also provide shade.

Coolers with large industrial ceiling fans at the retail boulevard ensure that the surroundings are constantly airy.

Another unique green aspect of the development is the use of wind-harvesting turbines or windmill-like structures to generate power. Wind is channelled from the basement carpark’s mechanical ventilation systems to power pumps in the wetland areas of the development.

The ERA even has plans to install electric car charging stations within the development, in support of the Malaysian Green Technology Corporation (Green Tech Malaysia) that is targeting to deploy 25,000 EV charging stations across the country by 2020 as part of its Electricity Mobility Blueprint.

Those interested to be a part of this fascinating development may purchase a unit now, from just RM434,899.

The number of rooms per unit ranges from the one-plus-one bedroom all the way to five bedrooms for the biggest configuration. The first phase of The ERA is slated for completion in the year 2021.
