Project Details
Kiara Court is a prestigious project undertaken by the property giant Sime Darby in Nilai Impian. Nilai Impian is a township within Nilai which is dubbed the Lake Township featuring landscaped lakes, open parks, woodlands and a bioswale, with a colossal total land area of 1,808 acres.
The project consists of 6-storey apartments built on 5.25 acres of land. The contemporary living development sits on a piece of freehold land bearing residential title. The benefit of having a residential as opposed to a commercial one is that residents will incur cheaper utilities and assessment fees.
Kiara Court is scheduled to be completed somewhere around August 2018. The ultra low-density development houses a total of 240 units only, which is considered to be very exclusive compared to some developments that goes up to thousands.
Each unit embraces a modern open plan design which emphasizes on large windows, sliding doors and balcony. This gives extra dimension and enhances ventilation throughout the unit, best experienced in the living, kitchen and dining areas. Each distinctive unit come with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
The development is segregated into 5 different blocks namely Tower 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Although there is only one built-up of 929 sq ft, Kiara Court is presented with 4 different layouts, namely Type A, A1, C and C1.
Type A1 is an intermediate unit without balcony located on Level 1 whereas type C1 is a corner unit without balcony also located on level 1. The other 2 layouts, type A and C are intermediate and corner units respectively with balconies located on Levels 2 to 6.
There will be 2 covered car parks available for each unit. These car parks are located on the surrounding within the apartment as opposed to most apartments which uses basement car parks.
The listing price for Kiara Court is priced from From RM305,888 to RM465,888 with 10% discount for bumiputera purchasers. Sime Darby is offering a higher discount scheme for bumiputera purchasers as most developers are giving only 7%.
This project has all the necessary facilities to accommodate residents’ needs such as a surau, swimming pool, gymnasium, multipurpose hall and children’s playground. Most importantly, it is a guarded residence with 24 hours CCTV monitoring and security guard patrol.
It is wise to choose a renowned developer when it comes to purchasing homes as most of the necessities are already provided and in place. Sime Darby provides a total of 16 lighting points and 17 power points ready for its residents.
One knows how costly it is an electrician costs nowadays and the amount of money needed to install lighting and power points. Apart from that, every unit comes ready with 2 air-conditioner points, 5 fan points, 1 TV point and 1 telephone outlet point.
Location
The word nilai translates to value in the Malay language, literally. What began as a small Malay village during the 1800s has since blossomed into a flourishing township with an abundance of amenities. Although its development has been gradual during the 90s, it picked up rapidly during the early 2000 when educational institutions started appearing in the township.
The rise of 2 prominent institutions in Nilai, INTI International University and Nilai University serve as a contributing factor towards it booming state today. Fifteen years ago, through its vigorous A&P campaign, the two institutions attracted a tremendous amount of international students into Nilai, boasting its presence overseas.
The inundation of students particularly from China and South Africa creates demand for more housing in Nilai. Consequently, developers nationwide began setting foot in Nilai developing housing projects and townships one after another. The phenomenon created a positive impact on the economy too as it generated a lot of job opportunities.
In line with the needs of residents, entertainments outlets, hypermarkets, wholesale centres are erected to meet their demands. Today, residents in Nilai get to enjoy such convenience with the likes of Tesco, Giant Hypermarket, Nilai Square and Nilai 3 Wholesale Centre. Residents often travel to the nearby Mitsui Outlet located in Sepang for a combined enjoyment of F&B and fashion.
The property market in Nilai today is very much different from how it was before. Strong demand for housing gives rise to positive rental yield. A recent trend also sees an increasing number of high rise apartments and condominiums being constructed in the township.
One of the contributing factors to its booming state today lies in its strategic location. Set amidst important landmarks such as KLIA and KLIA2, it is home to a lot of flight crew members. Within close proximity lies Sepang F1 International Circuit, which hosts the annual F1 event, bringing in thousands of visitors locally and abroad.
Other key landmarks surrounding Nilai include the administration city of Malaysia, Putrajaya and our Multimedia Super Corridor hub, Cyberjaya. A few of the renowned hotels in Malaysia such as Allson Klana Hotels & Resort and Nilai Springs are also situated in Nilai.
Connectivity to Nilai is made possible through multiple routes. Visitors from Kuala Lumpur are able to reach Nilai through two main highways. They may either utilize the E2 KL-Seremban Highway or the E6 ELITE Highway. The latter often serves the western part of Selangor, Shah Alam, where visitors are able to bypass Kuala Lumpur to arrive at Nilai.
Today, the population of Nilai is estimated to be around 100,000 residents. This is expected to increase as Nilai gears itself towards even more rapid development in the coming years.

Summary
The property market in Nilai is going towards an upward favourable trend with a lot of high-rise developments on-going. MesaHill is another high-rise development in Nilai undertaken by Green Target Group.
This is a rather high-density development compared to Kiara Court. If you are looking for exclusivity, Kiara Court is the better choice. It does however depend on personal preference as some might prefer a more high density environment with more people.
A foresight might indicate that MesaHill’s target is on students with its extremely high-density layout and small built-ups.
