Maples Residences is the next big thing in the thriving and upcoming town of Klang close to Setia Alam. It is to be in an all-new township of integrated developments, inclusive of shop lots, residences, offices and a shopping mall of quality. Strategically located in Bandar Bestari, Maples Residences is to feature some of the most modern features of our time with remarkable architecture and facilities. 
Maple Residences – Scale Model
Maples Residences is the product of KSL Holdings, a developer that has focused their developments mainly in Johor. They have decided to bring their expertise to Klang Valley, with the 448-acre township that is to showcase the best of their experience in the property development sector. Aiming to be amongst the top 10 developers in Malaysia, some of their past projects include Nusa Bestari, D’Esplanade Residence @ KSL City and D’Secret Garden @ Kempas Indah.
While Maples Residences is located in what some deem to be the outskirts of the city, the city limits are in actuality expanding to due to the growing lack of land in Kuala Lumpur. As such, townships on the outskirts are mushrooming and blooming, resulting in new quality townships that are designed to host an entirely new community. Maples Residences is one such development which has caught the interest and fancy of homebuyers and investors both, with two blocks selling out with minimal advertising and no show units.

Project Details
Maple Residences is the all new talk of the town in Klang, with two out of three blocks being mainly sold out before even its official launch and without even a show unit. It is a luscious home of elegance with a plentiful of facilities. Maple Residences will span 1.5 acres of prime land within the township of Bandar Bestari, with a total of only three blocks that stand at 22 storeys tall each. These homes were contemporarily designed to stand out and be a landmark in Bandar Bestari with their modern designs.
Maple Residences – Blocks
Maple Residences is a delightfully designed home that is dedicated to families with its family-centric home layouts and family-friendly facilities. The buildings itself are tastefully designed to present a modern and contemporary outlook. With the homes starting only from the eighth floor, the bottom six storeys will consist of a multi-storey parking lot. The facilities will all be on the seventh floor, which will come with a high ceiling; and the homes will start from the eight floor of the development.
Maple Residences – Facilities
Decently priced to be affordable to the middle income bracket, the homes at Maple Residences come with a variety of layouts and sizes. There will be a total of 12 different layouts for buyers to choose from, with there being a minimum of two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The smallest unit at Maple Residences will stand at 863 sf, and the largest at 1,264 sf with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The units come with a modern and open concept for better utilisation of space. There are in fact a noticeable lack of nooks, crannies and corners, for full utilisation of space.
Maple Residences – Unit Layouts
A welcome relief to many buyers is that these homes also cater to the Asians’ love for cooking with every unit coming with both a dry and wet kitchen regardless of its size. The smaller units while coming with only two bedrooms will also have an additional utility rooms for the various odd and ends every household has.
Every home at Maple Residences regardless of its size will come with a minimum of two parking lots. This is another generosity on the developer’s part as the vast majority of developers within the city now only offer a sole parking lot with many starting the trend of only rented parking lots being available.
The density at Maple Residences is also welcomingly low with a total of only 594 units at the entire development. Every blocks touts only 198 units in its 22 storeys. There will be an average of 9 homes on every floor, with a total of three lifts serving every block to ensure optimum service even during peak hours. The maintenance fee is RM0.25 psf, but will be free for the first year of the development.
There is however what some consider to be a slack part of the development, whereby at the bottom of every block will be a total of approximately 10 retail lots. These shops are not being held by the developer; they are being sold to the public. There is hence no control over who may be the tenants of these shops, and residents of Maple Residences may have to tolerate having to see unsightly ‘For Sale’ and ‘For Rent’ banners on these shops’ walls for as long as they are untenanted. In spite of the shops operating below the residences, residential residents of Maple Residences will still enjoy Residential title with residential utility rates.
Maple Residences – Integrated Township ii
The facilities that are to be offered at Maple Residences will also be the best of its range, and will blend in with the nature theme of Bandar Bestari. Amongst some of the most talked about and much awaited facilities that are to be offered at Maple Residences is the Japanese Garden within the grounds itself which would be the perfect complement to the French Gardens of Bandar Bestari.
The recreational floor at Maple Residences will span 68,366 sf and will also host the wading and lap pool, amongst the other more common facilities. The gymnasium will be an attraction in itself at 3,000 sf within the 10,000 sf clubhouse. The clubhouse will also be WiFi ready, as will the multipurpose hall be. With Maple Residences to be completed at the same time with the KSL City Mall, there are as many investors amongst the buyers who bought a unit at Maple Residences as there are home buyers.
Location
Maples Residences is to be located in one of the newest and most prime townships in the town of Klang. It is not only to be part of the upcoming Bandar Bestari, it is also part of the Canary Garden Commercial City. These coveted homes are located south of Klang, slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Klang Town but is still within short distance of every possible necessity.
Maples Residences will be surrounded by the numerous landed properties of prestige within the township, the majority of them luxurious semi-detached homes that are very well planned, and will resemble a picturesque portrait when viewed from above. Maples Residences will be just beside the Canary Garden Clubhouse, the dedicated facility hub of the first phase of Canary Garden Residence.
Maples Residences is very desirably located at within minutes from Bukit Tinggi. It is minutes away from the landmark Aeon shopping mall in town, and is literally a straight drive from the Bukit Tinggi town itself. The closest residential developments that are not of the same integrated township as Maples Residences itself is Ambang Botanic 2, another well planned and well designed township.
When approaching Maples Residences, the first thing that visitors will notice is the lack of development in the immediate vicinity of Bandar Bestari. The roads that approach this development are a straight road from town with no geographical obstacles.
The first sign that visitors have reached the acclaimed township will be the modern and contemporarily built shop houses of three storeys, which immediately after is the showroom of Bandar Bestari itself. Just behind the showroom there are acres of empty land, which is to be the township of Bandar Bestari itself and Maples Residences.
Maple Residences – Integrated Township
Although many people have taken one look at the site and turned away from this project due to its distance to town, Maples Residences is seemingly another Setia Eco Park in the making. The landmark feature of Maples Residences is its nature-themed facilities in a township of nature. Within Bandar Bestari itself will be stunning 52-acre French inspired garden made possible by the abundance of land and quiet serenity of the area.
The exceptional landscaping in this garden will include a Harmony Maze with walls of flowers, a Shrub Forest of shaped trees, with a Romantic Dome for a peaceful ambience for those wishing to just sit back and enjoy the environment. The walkways that will connect everything in this art inspired landmark will be the French Inspired Garden Walkway. The entirety of Bandar Bestari will be built around a river, and there will be a specific entrance in the park to the riverside of Sijangkang itself named the Black Water River Entrance.
Although these homes exude seclusion amidst its revelry in nature, Maples Residences is actually well located by a network of highways to town, schools, amenities, highways and all the comforts of modernization.
Residents of Maples Residences have almost immediate access to the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) and the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS) at bare minutes from their homes. By utilizing these highways, they will be able to gain access to the city easily, where there is the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) and Federal Highway. With these convenient access routes, places such as Kelana Jaya are no more than half an hour away.
Meanwhile, while the lack of entertainment hubs in this area may have been the bane of residents in the relatively recent past, residents of Klang now have their very own Setia City Mall courtesy of SP Setia, which comes with all the most popular local F&B outlets and retail shops.
To take it one step further, residents of Maples Residences will literally be a stone’s throw from KSL City Mall 2, a Mega-mall coming up within Bandar Bestari that is to span 2.2 million sf by 2017. This shopping mall will also include a hypermarket and cineplex for the residents of Klang. Many of the shops at the shopping mall will also have river-frontage for maximum enjoyment of nature’s wonders.
In terms of public transportation, it is as of the end of 2015 mostly confirmed that the LRT Line 3 will be extended to Bandar Bestari as according to the sales people of Maples Residences. If this is to come true, residents of Maples Residences will be able to conveniently hop onto a train and get to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre in perhaps half an hour.
Another major point of interest is that children of families at Maples Residences will also get premium education choices within Bandar Bestari itself. There is a proposed international school within the grounds of the township itself, with the contenders being Monash, Oxford, Zenith and the British Council.
Analysis
Price Analysis
Amongst the many upcoming projects in the south of Klang due to the anticipation of the city’s limits expanding, Maple Residences is deemed by many to be of a reasonable price although there have been critics who have also complained that getting a home at Southbank Residences on Old Klang Road will be of almost the same price and is a much better deal.
At an average selling price of RM530 psf, Maple Residences is however a decent deal. The closest development to Maple Residences which can be considered to be a close competitor is The Lead Residences that is less than 10 kilometres away from Bandar Bestari.
The Lead Residences will be directly connected to Aeon Bukit Tinggi via a pedestrian bridge, and will also enjoy convenient access to the LRT 3 line. These homes are selling at an average of RM656 psf, with similar built-ups of between 855 sf and 1,317 sf. At only RM530 psf, Maple Residences is cheaper by RM126 psf in a township that is promised to be a booming success in the near future.
Summary
After a thorough research on the area, Maple Residences is concluded to be an awesome project that has the highest chances of being a successful development and investment for the future. These homes that are embraced in the arms of nature are perfect for the growing family, and is the ideal home for nature lovers who look forward to a quiet day coming back from work. The vast tracts of landscaped land around Maple Residences will calm the soul of every individual in this area, and Maple Residences is well worth its price for the haven it provides.
