The Rainz, Bukit Jalil

The Rainz was built for the family. Indeed it is.

One look at the sheer size of the units and the range of children-inspired facilities and you know: the Rainz was created with the Family Unit in mind. Not only that, it was built to gear that family towards embracing a wholesome, healthy, green lifestyle in an exclusive, sanctuary-like environment with ample living space for breathing and growing and development in every area.

HUGE Units to Provide Ample Personal Space

The smallest unit offered as Type A is 1513sq ft. As the smallest unit, it already has 4 rooms + 1 Study (that means five rooms in all, although the Study is small) and 3 bathrooms with an ample kitchen and yard and balcony. The study is not to be confused with a storeroom because there is a special storage area already specially built in and not called a store or utility room.

A look at the showroom shows everything in the actual layout adheres to the drawn illustration.

Type B, which is 1,772sq ft with 4+1 Maid’s Room also has five sizable rooms and four bathrooms, including attached bath for the maid! Wow! It also has an ample kitchen, yard and balcony, a huge built-in storage area (not called a room) and an added feature of a lanai.

According to Wikipedia, a lanai is a roofed, open-sided veranda, patio or porch originating from Hawaii. Nowadays, many homes, apartments, hotel and restaurants in Hawaii are built with one or more lanais.

Type B was not displayed in the showroom because the layout is almost the same as Type C, the biggest unit of the Rainz. At a humongous 1,930sq ft, this unit has 5+1 Maid’s Room making six rooms in all! All are spacious as can be seen in the pictures.

Type C also has a lanai too and lots of freebies. All the apartments come with freebies.

Let’s talk about the freebies.

Quality Freebies Galore

The Rainz’ units all come partially furnished. Let’s start from the entrance foyer. They are:

1. Free shoe cabinet with melamine doors and panels
2. Airconditioning units for each room. Brand – York or one of equal value
3. Fully-fitted kitchen with cabinets, cooker and hood, built in oven, double door Electrolux refrigerator, Electrolux washing machine and drier, and for the Type B and Type C, a free Electrolux Dishwasher as well.
4. Fully fitted bathrooms with sinks, WC, Shower system with individualised water heaters
5. Special built-in, walk-in Storage Cabinet

Furthermore, the specifications to fittings and flooring are of top quality. For instance, the main doors are extra wide and are made of fire resistant materials.

The Laminated Flooring of the bedrooms. These floorings are moisture resistant and can last up to 10 years

The flooring in the bedrooms are laid out with laminated flooring with wood design. These floorings are water proof, nontoxic and eco-friendly and last for at least 10 years.  The rest of the house is tiled with homogenous tiles.

“Homogeneous tiles are more expensive than ceramic or porcelain tiles for many reasons,” said the showroom personnel.

These reasons include homogenous tiles being superior to the other types of tiles and more suited to withstand heavy traffic and scratches.

The balcony will be laid with concept tiles. And all glass panels of sliding doors and windows come tinted.

When it comes to interior decoration, because the kitchen will come fully fitted, the buyer can choose the kitchen colour.

Generous Car Parking and Additional Benefits

This is a low density development with only 8 units on each floor served by five lifts with five-tier security.

All Type A units will get two car parks, All Type B and C (the 1,772sq ft and 1,930sq ft) will get four car parks. All four parking bays will be in tandem and not separated. The same applies to those getting 2 cars parks.

However, Type A 3A units in Towers A and B (Please see handwritten Floor Plan named HWP below), will enjoy 3 car parks because the view from the master bedroom window (overlooking Bukit OUG) will be partially blocked by the wall of Type A 05 units of Towers A and B.  (Type A 3A units of Tower C will be unaffected and thus, buyers will only get 2 car parks as stipulated).

“Actually, a lot of people prefer the privacy offered by the partial blockage of the master bedroom window view. They will still enjoy full unobstructed view from the balcony,” said the showroom personnel who added that the extra car parks more than compensate for this.

However, “if residents require more car parking bays than the number allotted, they can always rent our extra bays”.

Green and Healthy Facilities, High Up in the Air

The Rainz is called the Rainz for many reasons.

As stated in their brochure, “Using the imagery of a rainbow, rain being the medium by which life is reflected in vibrant colours”, the condominium, which has been conceptualised to provide these colours through a resort lifestyle model, has thus been named after that liquid prism.

To this end, it has gone all out to stick to its promise. In fact, they’ve stuck to their concept so faithfully, few other developments can match their commitment.

Providing theme park-like recreation to create happy memories for residents through outdoor appreciation and a green-inspired life, the Rainz is giving no less than 40 (yes, a whopping 40!) separate facilities laid out over three floors to press home their point!

The Hanging Bridge which is 400m long, offers everyone a real adventure

Forest trails where residents can go ambling in the mornings, enjoying fresh air and sunshine

Ranging from pockets of forest trails, mazes and botanical gardens to sprint tracks, jogging parks, eco ponds and even a trampoline park, rock climbing structures, camping zone and an herb garden all connected in landscaped zones, these green stretches are spread across the entire 8^th floor of the development.

And mind you, these are just some of the facilities for recreation.

On top of that, also on the 8^th floor are the usual swimming and wading pools as well as outdoor and indoor gyms.

But that’s not all.

Over on the Ground Floor are the various sports courts. There is one for badminton, one for table tennis and one for basketball. It’s a good thing Exsim has found no need for a tennis court. After all, every other high rise residential is providing one already and as the showroom personnel said, “Not everyone is into tennis. Why not provide opportunities for other kinds of sports?”

Around the perimeter of the Ground Floor are another outdoor gym, and forest trail and also jogging and bicycle tracks.

“The jogging and bicycle trail is 750m,” said the sales person.

There are at least another eight social and entertainment spots on the 35^th floor and they include a Sky Lounge, Sky Dining, a Viewing Lounge, Sky BBQ, Sky Floating Lounge and even a Sky Garden.

Dining with a view

Residents could invite friends for parties and events up in these areas but these are not by all the only social occasions you could have.

In fact, the “30 Days of Rainz” calendar in their promotional marketing materials suggests you could block dates to attend activities or lessons such as Yoga, Dancing and Badminton Classes held within the development. There will even be a Nursery or crèche service for the youngest residents.

“Yes, the developer will be running all these services and later will hand over the operations to the condo management,” informed the sales personnel.

Clearly, all details, needs and requirements of a growing multi-generational family have carefully been considered and planned for, which makes the Rainz a development that understands and caters to the family.  Even without splitting hairs over other aspects like connectivity, neighbourhood amenities and pricing, one can straightaway see that the Rainz is value-for-money.

In-house activities figure strongly at The Rainz, a colourful life indeed
