Andana @ D'Alpinia is a development that combines two types of residential unit, which are condominium and villa. The condominium buildings are located at the end of the road that is situated right in front of the line of villas. This gem from Hap Seng Land is one of the first and few in Malaysia that utilizes the 'Build-Then-Sell' concept. The concept is basically based on the developer selling the property only after the property is ready for the buyers. September 2016 has been set as the time when this leasehold property would finish its construction.Essentially, there are 146 residential units in Andana @ D'Alpinia. 116 of them are condominium units, placed across two towers, with them having 18 and 19 floors, respectively. There are eight further divisions for the condominiums in terms of its layout, and they have the built-up sizes of either 1,572 and 1,690 sf. Then, there are 30 villa units, all comprising of three floors, and they consist of either 'ascending' or 'descending' units. The difference is that the latter are built with the ground floor sandwiched between two floors, as opposed to the former which follows the standard configuration of having the other two floors on top of the bottom floor. Hap Seng Land priced the houses from RM680,980 to RM1,329,466The feel of the whole compound of Andana @ D'Alpinia is a tinge of Balinese culture. Also, a higher elevation of land is where the whole estate is built upon. The condominium units thrive on having only four units per floor, promoting exclusivity and privacy. Two parking bays are also bundled in with the purchasing package. On the other hand, the villas' owners would find spacious private gardens at the back of their units, and those gardens are promised to be afforded scenic views. As for the development's security standard, access cards at guardhouses and the lift lobby is a given, but other plans such as the installation of CCTV cameras at the proper places, alarm system in the villas and the intercom to the guardhouse strengthened the safe keeping. Additionally, a constant patrol by the security force is a promise.The amenities that Andana @ D'Alpinia enjoys blurs the fact that this township is in Puchong, because they are so many of them, making it feel like it is located in the middle of Kuala Lumpur.

The developer, Hap Seng Land, has been an active developer in Sabah. It has garnered an enviable total of 35 years of experience in the industry, and some of the names of the past project are The Horizon Residences, NADI Bangsar, Urbana @ D'Alpinia and of course the D'Alpinia township. The grapevine has it that the reason why Hap Seng Land managed to come out with a BTS development is due to the vast financial resources that the company possesses. Although that fact is not a confirmed statement, Hap Seng Land is indeed a company with huge capitals, and that is a benefit from their hugely successful property business. Without a doubt, this company should be considered by the other players in the local property industry as the conglomerate to envy.The 'Build-Then-Sell' concept that is being pushed through with Andana @ D'Alpinia is definitely one of the biggest elements that emanates from this development. It brings certain benefits, and also downsides too. The advantage of this concept is that there is no more years of waiting time that the potential buyers have to go through to get their hands on the keys of their units, as the units would literally be ready at the time of purchase. Other than that, risk of abandonment is minimized drastically. Of course, the vanishing of the waiting time also brings in the harmful effect, which is the absence of a grad period for price appreciation for the property. But, this concept is heralded as the one that could help the buyers, hence it is definitely a welcoming prospect.More upsides for Andana @ D'Alpinia are the cheap price that it has compared to the surrounding properties, the substantial built-up size and the low-density quality that the place has. Conversely, one more negative quality that can be derived from this development is the absence of a yard in the condominium units. This hints to the need of the purchase of dryers for future owners. At the end of the day, families who are looking for upgrades or nice dwellings would not go wrong with this project, provided the location is favourable to them.
