Project Details
9 Madge’s location can be classified as a prime and elite area of Kuala Lumpur.

9 Madge’s view
The exterior of 9 Madge
The well planned structure is something to be impressed
The development consists of two blocks with five storeys each
Jalan Madge of Jalan U-Thant is a gem among homeowners and property seekers in getting a place to stay away from such madness yet it is still a breath away from the city centre. This is an area where you could still jog under the shaded pavements of lush of trees while embracing serenity. The roads here are rather small and less inviting to vehicles commuting in or out of the area, which is a blessing for the residents.
The sense of privacy is priceless and can be felt throughout the neighbourhood. As mentioned earlier, most developments are made up from five storeys to a maximum of 12 storeys. There isn’t much congestion with other residents especially when it comes to beating the morning rush or evening commute from work. Smart usage of the inner routes of Ampang Hilir can also save time as jams can be dodged.
9 Madge exemplifies sophistication and finesse. It’s built and architectural design is well thought out and projected by its designing team.
Nestling on a 0.77 acre of land, the design brilliantly masks the small sized of land by providing structures that maximises the usage of space. 9 Madge is not made up of singular blocks as the development consists of two wings that are divided and interconnected by a central courtyard garden as well as a bridging lobby. The courtyard garden aims to provide room for residents to rest, rejuvenate and even to exercise through a ventilated garden.
The placing of the buildings is in a composed North South orientation that would bring daylight at the same time minimising direct heat and sunlight to its interior. This brings a cooling effect within the compound to the development.
The front wing of 9 Madge is mainly consists of the four to five bedrooms units that are facing the incredible 25 meter lap pool and of course, the children’s pool. Meanwhile, the two to three bedrooms units are located at the rear wing. These units have the view of the landscape garden with an emphasis on the terrace and private enclosed space for a quitter ambiance. All penthouse units are located on the 5th floor as they come with personal private lush rooftop garden pavilion.

This units here fit the bill for a single folks, young couples or even huge families. The development is indeed gracious in space and rooms that can accommodate everybody’s needs. The units come in various sizes from 1, 836 sq.ft. to 4, 187 sq.ft. for the regular units. Meanwhile, the penthouses range from 6, 040 sq.ft. to 8, 149 sq.ft with its own rooftop garden.
Besides that, the overall concept of the layout provides detached direct access to additional spaces such as the maid’s room, utility and store rooms.

Location
This is an elite yet secluded side of Ampang Hilir. Concealed along the little routes of Persiaran Madge and Jalan U-Thant, Jalan Madge is surrounded by low density developments that exude exceptionality and pristine. It is serene with the touch of superiority from the rich, elites and expatriates.
The area is dominated by low rise apartments
Pavements covered by lush trees
Getting there via Jalan U-Thant
It is well connected to innumerable main roads of Kuala Lumpur. One can find themselves along Jalan Ampang via Persiaran Ampang Hilir. This would then lead residents to the centre of the city within less than ten minutes. Entry and exit points to AKLEH and DUKE are located within and around Jalan Ampang. For those heading to DUKE, you can take Jalan Datuk Keramat from Jalan Ampang and head on towards Jalan Maktab. The entrance is located beside PULAPOL. MRR2 is also accessible via Jalan Ampang. Meanwhile, Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Pahang are within a short drive.
There is currently an ongoing construction of an elevated intersection at Jalan Ampang. The crossroads will be built in between Jalan Ampang and Jalan Jelatek as this will provide more options for commuters heading in and out of Jalan Ampang. The construction is anticipated to end in 2017. This is a great news as this area is known for tailbacks.

Summary
A priced property in a gem location. 9 Madge would definitely tick all the right boxes for a family, a couple and single folks who are in the search for an ideal home.
