The Mews @ The Glades, Putra Heights

Artist’s impression of The Glades

The Glades – a name that brings to mind a place where tranquil, grassy, shallow water exist. Next, imagine a series of landed properties built around this very winding path of waterway, along with even shallower and smaller series of water features throughout an entire 56-acre development. This is the very concept that is reflected at The Glades in Putra Heights.

In addition to being gated and guarded by the imposing guardhouse with several guards present, the entire land that encompasses The Glades development is also surrounded by a 6-feet high electric-powered fence. On top of that, the well-paved roadways within the confines of this development are not ordinary tar road. The entire development is also dotted with courtyards, gardens, conservatories and waterways.

From the community clubhouse to The Glades Plaza (housing a select retail and food & beverage outlets under one roof), flowing water features, spacious balconies and terraces are also commonplace. Additionally, for each and every home that dot this land, there are altogether four types of landed properties and a yet-to-be-unveiled 2-block condominium.
