Project Details
An idealistic escape that can be called a home. 9ine is the epitome of a relaxed and serene living, surrounded by lush greens that exists at 300 feet above sea level. The establishment is going a step bolder by providing an affordable home at the foothill of Sungai Putih Hill Forest Reserve that comes with breathtaking views of the magnificent green landscape. The forest is unspoiled by concrete developments and hopefully it stays in such a way for a long time.
9ine offers RM477 psf., an astonishing affordable price for an upscale development with immense potential to be greater. The units here are spacious, catering to the majority segment of buyers that are looking for properties as potential homes. The units range from 1,142 sq ft to 1,520 sq ft, which mostly offer a 3-bedroom layout.
Type A and A1 are sized at 1,142 sq ft with three bedrooms and two baths. Allocating a common bath is always a great gesture in developments as it provides privacy for the homeowners in terms of not sharing such personal space with others.
The compartments are done adjacent with each other, from kitchen right up to the living area. It does project bigger space especially without compartmentalising them. Other great additional features also include a balcony and a yard.
Type C encompasses more space and more rooms. It comes with 3+1 bedrooms, as the utilities room can be converted into a bedroom for guests or even living quarters for the maid. It also comes with a third bath that is located closely to the entrance foyer for the usage of house guests in general.
In most circumstances, bigger units at a reasonable price like Type C would be the best option for homebuyers to purchase. Since affordability isn’t an issue, buyers ought to push the envelope in purchasing bigger units here.
The facilities here are resort-like, embedding into the fantastic green backdrop of the development. The gym will be overlooking the massive swimming pool and the resident’s lounge. A great sight to see while breaking a sweat.
Meanwhile, the amenities here will be reaping the benefits of the lush green scenery, which include Cocoon Pavilion, Cube Pavilion and the yoga deck for the residents to utilise. Most importantly, there will be a 7-tier security system with around the clock surveillance.
Meanwhile, residents and guests will be able to feast their eyes on the extensive version of the majestic view here at its Sky Lounge Deck, situated at the 17th floor.
9ine is bound to be an alluring property to have, promoting a serene and Zen lifestyle at a fraction of the price. This development celebrates the balance between family and work at the same time cultivating a healthy lifestyle with venues and facilities to do so.
Location
Getting to 9ine off Taman Kemacahaya can be a bit of a whirlwind journey, especially if you’re not from the area or have hardly been to Batu 9 Cheras. It could be as foreign to anyone even if you are from Kuala Lumpur or Selangor. Getting here would at least take 45 minutes from the city centre, given if you don’t lose your way. We might find it easier to Waze ourselves around these days but this location is not registered in the navigation system. The closest landmark to use is the ASEAN Metropolitan University (Cheras).
If you are from the city centre, drive along the Jalan Tun Razak heading towards SMART tunnel. Continue on along Lebuhraya Hubungan Timur right onto Lebuhraya Cheras-Kajang and Jalan Taman Suntex Batu 9 Cheras. Take the 702 exit from Lebuhraya Cheras-Kajang. Continue onto Jalan Hulu Langat and head on towards Jalan Kemacahaya.
This route will eventually lead you to Taman Kemacahaya. Do be careful and try not to miss any turns. The roads here are hilly and narrow.
Taman Kemacahaya is hugely populated by older residential properties that include both landed and high-rise condominiums. These developments have been around since the early 90’s. Among the existing residential developments here are Pangsapuri Taman Kemacahaya, Casa Suria, Suria Residence, the entire stretch of Venice Hill Towers and numerous of landed homes along the inner lanes off Jalan Kemacahaya. It is fair to say that this is a high density area given the massive population living around here.
As mentioned earlier, ASEAN Metropolitan University is a stone’s throw away along with rows of shop lots that offer basic necessities such as mom and pop’s shops, mamaks, food stalls, tuition centres and self-service launderettes. These amenities are located five minutes from 9ine.
But what stands out for this area is the close proximity it has with the Sungai Putih Hill Forest Reserve or better known as Apek Hill. It serves as a great backdrop for the establishment when it comes to providing ‘the money’ view. The nature oriented atmosphere is certainly pulling the crowd to reside here especially those who seek for peace and serenity away from the city madness. We do hope there won’t be any development on such lush green landscape and the view would be for keeps.
Connectivity can be improved and hopefully it will in the long run. There are routes and connecting roads that lead residents to various major highways including Cheras-Kajang Highway, Connaught East-West Link, North Pantai Expressway (NPE), KESAS Highway and MRR2. Public transportation on the other hand, is slightly tougher. There are no stations within a 5 to 10 km radius from 9ine.
The closest MRT Station at Taman Suntex (source: http://www.mrt.com.my/stations/Taman_Suntex_MRT_Station.htm)
Picking up on the issue, the developer will be providing coach services every 15 minutes to Taman Suntex MRT Station (MRT Line 1) upon its completion in 2017. This is a big sigh of relief for future 9ine residents as good accessibility can complement the development’s great affordability status.
Taman Kemacahaya is considerably close to various major amenities and these include:
Shopping Centres
- The Mines
- You City
- IKON
- Cheras Sentral
- Phoenix Plaza
- Leisure Mall
- Tesco Extra
- Giant
- AEON Big
- AEON
- Econsave
Educational Institutions
- ASEAN Metropolitan University College
- UCSI University
- Sri Cempaka International School
- Seri Suria Private School
- Sri Murni Private School
- SK Taman Puteri
- SK Batu 9
Medical Centres
- Columbia Asia Hospital Cheras
- Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
- Pantai Cheras Medical Centre
- Klinik Kesihatan Batu 9
Leisure
- Sungai Putih Hill Forest Reserve
The location is a bit off the grid especially for metropolitan folks. But given the increase of migration of people seeking for affordable homes outside of Kuala Lumpur, Taman Kemacahaya has proven its worthiness with the existence of many housing developments around the area. The price is within cheap to affordable brackets and this would definitely encourage people to buy especially a freehold development like 9ine.

Summary
9ine is more on a long term investment for those with a family or even planning to start one. Located at the foothill of Sungai Putih Hill Forest Reserve off Taman Kemacahaya, the development is an ideal place to build memories especially with the loved ones. Its affordability is simply the pulling factor among homebuyers, in comparison to properties situated in the heart of KL or even PJ.
The allocation of rooms are sufficient and the layouts provide volume in terms of space. As for amenities, the development is not by any means isolated. There are an abundance of existing amenities like shops, schools and higher learning institutions nearby, all within immediate reach. As for transportation, there will be shuttle bus services to and fro Taman Suntex MRT Station starting in 2017. But it is always best to have your own transportation, in case of any emergency when residing here.
