Gravit8, Klang

Gravit8 is a mixed development of apartments, corporate offices, a shopping mall and a hotel that is estimated to take up more than 15 acres of land in Kota Bayuemas in Klang South, Klang. The project which is a play on the word ‘gravitate’ signifies that it is a place where everyone from the young to the old, families and friends and people from all walks of life can gather to spend quality time together. Handled by the Mitraland Group, who are renown for handling one project at a time, it is a gross development estimated to cost RM1.3 billion. Launched in March 2015, the project is expected to be completed in May 2018.Gravit8 is a mixed-use master plan that is designed to be the ultimate pleasure, living, workplace and entertainment environment. As a project for everybody, it comprises of themed serviced apartments, retail mall to cater to shopping needs, entertainment mall for pleasure and relaxation, business offices (small offices and versatile offices) and a boutique hotel. All of this flawlessly integrated within walkable distances for easy access to residents and visitors. The maritime theme of this project affords a manmade lake front and a saltwater aquarium within the mall. Kota Bayuemas, where Gavit8 would be is one of the many newer townships in Klang South, Klang. Spanning an area of over 15 acres of freehold land, the area contains many residential and commercial properties alike, and it takes less than a 20 minute drive from Shah Alam city centre without traffic and around 50 minutes driving from Klang city centre. A former palm estate which was completed in 2012, Kota Bayuemas is surrounded by other well-established township such as Bandar Botanic and Bandar Parkland. The AEON Bukit Tinggi shopping centre is a mere 5-minutes’ drive away. There are other basic amenities like a playground, park, mosque, surau, temples, churches and schools alongside unconventional ones like the Bayuemas Lawn Bowling stadium and a Bayuemas Cricket field. Coming from Kuala Lumpur city centre, the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS) is recommended, because it cuts traveling distance up to 7 kilometers rather than exiting through New Pantai Expressway (NPE) or from the Federal Highway. Kota Bayuemas does not have the city skyline of skyscrapers and high-rise structures, so is more suitable for families and own-stay.Both Nordica and Adria feature car parks and retail outlets as well as facilities like swimming and kid’s pool, Jacuzzi, a fitness area, a yoga deck, gymnasium, a games room and a kindergarten.
