Angkasa Condominiums is a freehold condominium nestled in Taman Connaught, Cheras.
Mah Sing Group has always been a leading property developer in Malaysia. Back in 1965, it started out as a plastic trading firm. In 1992, it was listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange 2nd board. 1994 was the official year it ventured into property development. The rest is history.
In 2000, it reclassified its listing on KLSE from industrial to property. In 2004, it was transferred from the 2nd board to Main Board of KLSE.
Its property interest is spread throughout Malaysia with even footprints in East Malaysia. Its more recent achievement includes the purchase of a 6.55 acres land to develop Damansara Sentral. In East Malaysia, the Group purchased a parcel of 9.33 acres to develop KK Convention City in 2013.
A few of its renowned developments in the Klang Valley include names such as Lakeville Residence, M City, Southville City at KL South and Icon Residence at Mont Kiara.

Project Details
M Vertica is one of the highest condominiums you can find in Kuala Lumpur. At a staggering 50-storey high, the 5 block development will house over 3,600 units.
The 5 blocks will be developed and released in phases. Mah Sing is currently opening up 1 tower for sales. The tower will consist of 2 types of layouts namely Type A and B.
Type A is a 850 sq ft unit with 3 bedrooms while Type B is 1,000 sq ft with 4 bedrooms. Both Type A and B will have 2 bathrooms. The design of the the 850 sq ft unit is more rectangular and long rather than square.
The leasehold development is expected to be completed in 2021. The development will bear residential title which will be beneficial to residents in terms of utility bills and also yearly assessment fees.
Type A unit is priced at RM478,800 while Type B is priced at RM638,800. This means that the average per sq ft price is only RM568. The price is considered to be relatively affordable considering it is so close to Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
In terms of facilities, M Vertica boasts 38 different kinds with likes such as a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, yoga deck, gymnasium, badminton court, maze garden and gardens. The development also boasts a Sports Avenue with facilities such as a basketball court, futsal court and tennis court. The total facilities area and landscape will take up about 4.5 acres of land.
According to Mah Sing, the project is targeted at young home owners and families who are getting their first homes. The price affordability coupled with its prime location makes it attractive for buyers to consider.
Maintenance fee is set at RM0.30 per sq ft including sinking funds. Each unit will be provided with 2 carparks. The unit boasts a 3-tiered security system with CCTV monitoring, 24 hour guards patrolling and different access cards for lift and guardhouse entrance.
Location
M Vertica is a high rise condominium project located in the heart of Cheras. Cheras is a suburb which is located just beside Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
The township has a long history dating back to few decades ago. Back then it was just a small tin mining town, which had a population of merely 500. Today it is an ever growing township that has bloomed into a metropolitan area. The population is predominantly Chinese in Cheras.
The township is surrounded by famous suburbs such as Ampang to the north and Kajang to the south. Cheras is well connected by a variety of highways, mainly Salak South Highway and Federal Highway. The township is considered to be highly congested due to its high density population and more affordable housing.
Other routes that connect to Cheras are such as SMART, Besraya, New Pantai Expressway (NPE) and Maju Expressway (MEX).
It is also due to this fact that property in this area is ever so blooming, with project after project being erected to satisfy the needs of buyers. Affordable housing especially towards the end of Kajang is the dream of most young urbanites as it is expensive for them to afford a house in central KL.
There are a few attractions in Cheras namely Sunway Velocity Mall and IKEA Cheras. The newly opened IKEA Cheras serves as an option for area residents rather than having to travel all the way to IKEA Damansara.
The recent opening of Sunway Velocity Mall also makes it convenient for residents to do their shopping be it grocery, entertainment or fashion. Other shopping malls include names such as AEON Maluri, MyTown and the nearby Suria KLCC.
In terms of public transportation, Cheras has a few connecting MRT points, the most prominent being Maluri MRT. This interchange connects directly to Sunway Velocity Mall. Residents will enjoy shaded walkway right into the mall. Other MRT stations serving residents are such as Taman Pertama, Taman Midah and Cochrane.

Summary
The main selling point for M Vertica is its affordability coupled with its prime location. Targeted at new homeowners, this is definitely a good buy considering the development is only 4.5km away from the Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Apart from that, projects that are built near to MRT stations are deemed to have a higher capital appreciation and higher rental yields.
