Analysis
The improved infrastructure and connectivity has encouraged a number of developers to build in Kepong. Kepong lies within Kuala Lumpur and is close to Selangor. High-end enclaves such as Desa ParkCity and Mont’Kiara are nearby, making Kepong an attractive location for both developers and homebuyers.
In the last 10 years, the younger generation in the area have demanded for more high-end homes. Many of them would prefer to stay close to their parents, but in a trendier home. The strong demand for modern high-rise developments with full facilities explains the strong take-up and rapid growth of new projects in Kepong.
UEM Sunrise Bhd has developed more than 60 projects in Malaysia, including 11 Mont Kiara, Imperia, Kiara Designer Suites, Mont Kiara Bayu, Residensi 22, Residensi Sefina, and Verdi, among others.
