Kenwingston Square Garden is poised to be the next pulsating centrepiece of Cyberjaya. Situated in the Cyberjaya Flagship Zone (CFZ), this mixed development comprising one 10-storey business centre of shopfronts and modern signature offices, is backed by 912 units of SoHos in two 35-storey towers.
Kenwingston Seven Up Sdn Bhd looks set to up the pulsating edge of Cyberjaya that bit further with its entry of Kenwingston Square Garden ─ a 6.85-acre ultra-modern mixed development with Business Centre, Retail Boulevard and Residential components, all nicely prearranged and synchronised to fit today’s contemporary lifestyle.
Placed strategically in Cyber 9, Cyberjaya, well within the 7000-acre Cyberjaya Flagship Zone (CFZ) considered the nucleus of Cyberjaya ─ Kenwingston Square Garden has its Business and Retail Centre of shopfronts and signature offices fronting the development while overlooking from above and from behind, stand the residential towers.
About Kenwingston Square Garden SoHos
The residential towers, comprising two 35-storey blocks housing 456+456 SoHo units in a bracket-like ( ) configuration, encircle the sports and recreational outdoor facilities on the facilities podium of the 8th floor, above 7 levels of car parks with an ample 1,661 car parking bays for residents as well as visitors.
There are indoor facilities as well, made to accommodate business, community as well as children’s needs, and these include business lounges, reading rooms, nursery, surau and so on.
The SoHos comes in four sizes and range in built-ups from 450 sq ft to 815 sq ft. The largest SoHos of 815 sq ft sport 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms ─ made for living-in as well as for running a business or working from home. The good news about the SoHos is that they come fully furnished (customisable according to preference) for their price and are under the amended 2007 HDA protection with the new Schedule H regarding Progressive Payments (more about that later in the Project section).

Project Details
The residential towers of Kenwingston Square Garden. The units have been oriented North-South for the greater comfort of residents.
Kenwingston Square Garden has been designed with the modern urbanite in mind. Set on 6.85 acres of land in Cyber 9, Cyberjaya, on Persiaran Bestari ─ right where the vibrancy is, the project with its Business and Retail Centre as well as SoHos, caters to residential, corporate and retail needs.
On the residential side, there are 912 SoHos set out in the twin residential towers. Each tower comprises 456 units that come in 4 sizes with built-ups ranging from 450 sq ft to 815 sq ft. All living spaces have been thoughtfully oriented North-South to allow for greater comfort and relaxing views of the skyline. North views are of the city scape while South views show hilly terrain.
Type A unit at 450 sq ft with 1 car park
Fully Furnished SoHos
One of the many USPs of Kenwingston SoHos is that they come fully furnished complete with air-conditioning, kitchen cabinets and other equipment for the price you are paying. (S&P prices start from RM300++K for the smallest units). The convenience of being fully-furnished means it is move-in ready. Furthermore, the furniture and fittings can be customized to your preference.
The interior, despite their small SoHo built-ups, boasts of spaciousness with large windows that allow for natural lighting and ventilation.
Security is top notch as it is gated and guarded with 24-hour access control system. Car parks too are a-plenty with 1,661 bays in 7 levels for residents as well as visitors.
Amazing Facilities
The layout of the outdoor facilities on the 8th floor podium.
Kenwingston SoHos come with as many as 24 indoor and outdoor facilities. Business facilities such as a Business Lounge as well as sports and recreational facilities are quite comprehensive. They include an infinity pool, badminton courts, gym, jogging track, children’s playground and plenty of extra green spaces to simply rest and relax, among others. However, one of the most unique facilities is the Miniature Golf Putting Green. It is great for aspiring golfers to practice their swings.

A Children’s Playground and Outdoor Gym.
The Infinity Pool with a Children’s Pool at the side.
Apart from what you see in the Facilities Layout Plan above, there are additional facilities located elsewhere, such as the Sky Garden at Level 32, a multipurpose hall on Level 6 and three indoor badminton courts as well as a Banquet Hall.
Peace of Mind and Easier Payment Scheme through the New Schedule H
Another point that bodes well for Kenwingston SoHos is the fact that SoHos nowadays come under HDA protection, thanks to the initiatives of former-Minister of Housing and Local Government, Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting, who in 2007, pushed for the much-needed amendment to the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 for highrise homes built on commercial land.
Schedule H calls for progressive payments and basically, the crucial words were changed from “commencement” into “completion”, meaning to say that nowadays, the buyer need only pay part payment in fixed percentages to the developer upon the completion of each section of the building, unlike before when payment had to be made at the commencement of the project.

The law was amended to prevent the occurrence of more abandoned projects and to protect buyers. (There were as many as 216 housing projects certified abandoned between 2009 and 31 January 2015).
The revised HDA laws (2007) and the revised Schedule H ensure that work must be done before the purchaser pays any money. In case you didn’t know about these new laws, click on this link for the full copy of the Amended Housing Development Act.
But to cut to the chase of this long document, Schedule 3 under the new Schedule H of the amended HDA shows the percentages of your progressive payment and exactly when you should pay your developer. This makes payment easier in many ways and definitely safer for the purchaser.
Peace of Mind and Protection: Pay only when work is completed and not before, as stated under Schedule 3 of the new Schedule H, under the amended HDA.

Location
The big picture and where Kenwingston Square Garden stands.
Kenwingston Square Garden is situated on Periaran Bestari, Cyberjaya, 63000 Cyberjaya, Selangor. This location is in Cyber 9, Cyberjaya, in what is known as the Cyberjaya Flagship Zone or CFZ ─ “one of the most dynamic ICT hubs in all of Southeast Asia designed to be the nucleus of the Multimedia Super Corridor”, according to The Report: Malaysia 2011, Oxford Business Group.
More on the CFZ
Now the CFZ is a 7,000-acre parcel of freehold land within Cyberjaya itself. It is a self-contained intelligent city complete with top-notch facilities. Here, visitors and residents can enjoy future-ready connectivity with world-class IT infrastructure, well-planned commercial and residential landscapes, comprehensive amenities and various educational institutions. Accessibility is also ensured on all fronts with a wealth of connecting highways and upcoming MRT station in the vicinity.
Kenwingston Square Garden is serviced by a comprehensive network of highways.
Much of the planning, designing and preparation should, of course, be credited to Cyberjaya’s Master Developer Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd for turning a greenfield project back in 1997 when it was launched by former prime minister YABhg Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, into an intelligent city with world-class ICT infrastructure.
“Today,” they say in their website, “Cyberjaya is home to many multinational companies such as Shell, HP, Ericsson, BMW, HSBC, DHL and many more. It is also the chosen location for the nation’s top smart schools and institutions such as LimKokWing University College of Creative Technology (LUCCT), Multimedia University (MMU) and Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS).”

Cyberjaya for Investors and Home Seekers
Because of the presence of these colleges, not to mention the numerous multinational companies as well as a growing expat community from Europe and North America as its workforce, the daytime population of Cyberjaya has reached a staggering 90,000. As such, the demand for homes and commercial areas is ever increasing.
As can be seen in the distance chart above, Kenwingston Square Garden is only a short drive away from established educational institutions, major highways, shopping malls and MRT stations such as S34 (Cyberjaya North) and S35 (Cyberjaya City Centre).
This, of course, translates to better rental yield should you decide to invest in property in Cyberjaya. Here is a read from www.cyberjayacity.com on 10 Reasons Why Cyberjaya is a Good Place to Invest. Another accolade that Cyberjaya has recently achieved is becoming the First City in Asean with 1GBps Speed Internet.
MRT to Serve Cyberjaya
THE MRT SSP Line will be the second MRT line to be developed after the 51km Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line (SBK Line) which began in July 2011.
As everyone knows, the MRT, together with the existing urban rail network, forms a very important backbone of the public transport system in the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley region.
THE MRT SSP Line will serve a corridor with a population of around 2 million people stretching from Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya and will include Sri Damansara, Kepong, Batu, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Tun Razak, KLCC, Tun Razak Exchange, Kuchai Lama, Seri Kembangan and Cyberjaya.
The proposed alignment is 52.2km of which 13.5km is underground. The rest will be elevated stations. A total of 37 stations, 11 of them underground, 26 elevated, will be built.
Upon commencement of full service in the second quarter of 2022, the SSP Line is expected to have a ridership of 533,000 passengers per day. This is expected to further improve the chronic traffic congestion currently faced by Kuala Lumpur.
S34 will be passing through Cyberjaya North while S35 will be passing through Cyberjaya City Centre.
S34 and S35, ticked with a checkmark in red on the map. According MRT Corp, construction for the SSP Line will start in Q2 2016 with the first phase of the operations slated for Q2 2021. The whole project for the entire line of 52.2km should be completed by Q2 2022.
Amenities Within Reach
As mentioned, Kenwingston Square Garden sits within a self-contained city within a city. Everything that one could need is inside one location, be it banks, schools, F&B and shopping and even medical facilities, as can be seen below.
As can be seen, the project is set within a well-amenitised hub.
Amenities Within Reach
Getting around from Kenwingston Square Garden will thus be a breeze with the numerous highways and access roads to the Maju Expressway (MEX) and Putrajaya-Cyberjaya Expressway. And it takes only 20 minutes to get to the KL City Centre via the MEX Highway and just 20 minutes to get to KLIA and KLIA2.
Above is a closeup of the location picture again. You can see that next to Kenwingston Square Garden is the site for a proposed shopping mall marked out by a yellow arrow. The mall in question is quite a big and well-known name although the actual name cannot be revealed at the moment.
The surroundings comprise a diverse mix of low-density urban enterprises, commercial developments and well-planned neighbourhoods alongside vast park space, recreational, F&B, entertainment and leisure amenities as well as hospitals, pre-schools, schools and universities.

Summary
Cyberjaya, Malaysia’s Intelligent City, has been in the news a lot of late. Mostly it is centered around the coming of the multi-million dollar Cyberjaya City Centre (CCC) and how it will be the catalyst for growth and investment. Cyberjaya is also pushing its way forward in becoming the Most Livable City in Malaysia by 2020 being eco-friendly with its own recycling centre and well-amenitised and connected by everything else.
Now Cyberview, the dedicated government-owned company, is tasked with driving the way forward with this city, and Faris Yahya, the managing director of Cyberview was on BFM 89.9 recently talking about how they were going to go about transforming Cyberjaya into a City of Creation. Their vision and mission are within means as Cyberview is supported by strong public and private sector participation to realise a vibrant ecosystem for MNCs, SMEs and entrepreneurs ─ the driving factors for Cyberjaya’s economic growth.
Kenwingston Square Garden coming in at this juncture is timely. With their location at a prime spot in the CFZ, competitively priced SoHos, and population of calibre pouring in to fill up all the slots, it will make a very sound investment in the years to come.
