  • 30 July 2020

With its meticulous planning, UOA Development Bhd has carved out a niche for itself, especially for its Bangsar South development. The 60-acre mixed-use project has attracted plenty of buying interest to its office towers, residences, and commercial outlets. The developer has focused on building what the market needs to ensure that its property buyers can profit from their purchase.

One of its launches in Bangsar South in early 2019 is The Goodwood Residence. This will be a multi-generational development, so it will be friendly to the older generation, on top of having facilities for all generations.

The Goodwood Residence is developed to deliver wholesome community living that’s surrounded by city conveniences

Analysis

In 2019, Bangsar South officially reverted to its original name, Kampung Kerinchi. UOA Group, the developer of Bangsar South, has clarified that Bangsar South is the project name of its mixed-use development and not the name of the area itself. The names “Bangsar South” and “Bangsar South City” are trademarks registered to UOA Holdings Sdn Bhd, which forms part of the UOA Group.

Property experts have dismissed concerns that the change of Bangsar South’s name back to Kampung Kerinchi will drive down property prices in the area.

Property experts have dismissed concerns that the change of Bangsar South’s name back to Kampung Kerinchi will drive down property prices in the area. Long-term investors or property owners are likely to look beyond this as location, infrastructure, connectivity, and availability of services are crucial elements to sustain properties’ value – which Kampung Kerinchi has.

Regardless of this name change, Bangsar South continues to remain popular and develop. It is forecasted to have a population or 35,000 when fully completed. There are more than 22 multi-national corporations operating in Bangsar South, with about 1,500 expatriate workforce, and that has lent to the demand for residential property.

Residences in Bangsar South started at approximately RM200 psf when UOA first launched their developments in 2007, and some properties have appreciated to more than RM800 psf.

Bangsar South has had a considerable impact on the surrounding areas, and many developments in the vicinity have capitalised on the prominence of Bangsar South by association. The development has enjoyed great success, largely due to its location within– close to Kuala Lumpur city centre, Bangsar, Petaling Jaya, Old Klang Road, and Damansara.
