TEN KINRARA is set just behind EIGHT KINRARA, and is a walk across the road to Giant Hypermart and exactly 400m to the Kinrara BK5 LRT Station.

Hot on the heels of EIGHT KINRARA comes TEN KINRARA, a similar-concept development to the earlier serviced apartment built 150m away. But while EIGHT KINRARA is a one-block integrated development with 236 units housed in 35 storeys with three storeys of dedicated shops, TEN KINRARA is two blocks with 380 units housed in 22 storeys with three storeys of 39 shops. Both developments are freehold and commercial titled.

Both EIGHT and TEN KINRARA are by the I&P Group, as are quite a number of developments in Bandar Kinrara. It is thus, hardly surprising that I&P is known as the master developer of the Bandar Kinrara township along with others such as TemasyaGlenmarie, Alam Impian, Bandar Baru Seri Petaling, Alam Sari, Bayuemas, Alam Damai in Klang Valley as well as Taman Perling, Taman Rinting, Taman Pelangi Indah, Taman Industri Jaya in Johor Bahru.

Bandar Kinrara is one of the earliest flagship developments by the I&P Group. The 1904-acre undulating freehold land in Puchong, Selangor was launched in 1991 and is now at the tail end of its full development. The Group is laying its finishing touches with a few more residential, commercial and retail components and these include the upcoming TEN KINRARA and many other highrises and prestigious landed properties. (For more on the developer, please scroll down to the Analysis Section).

For all the development fever that Bukit Jalil is churning, Bandar Kinrara, its “sister” township, seems untouched by it all. Still serenely quiet with relatively low traffic and  wide open roads separating activity hotspots from housing areas, the pace of life there is even-keel, thanks to the abundance of breezy space, rolling greenery and a sprawling 18-hole golf course set against languid lowrise residential alcoves.

These days, Bandar Kinrara is popularly known by its “anchor tenant” ─ Giant Hypermart in Kinrara 5 and lately by the one-year-old Kinrara BK5 LRT Station. It is around these two “crowd-pulling” elements that two of I&P’s landmark residential highrises have grown: EIGHT KINRARA and TEN KINRARA.

In fact, EIGHT KINRARA is linked by an elevated bridge to the said BK5 LRT Station.

The just-completed (in Q3 2016) EIGHT KINRARA is an integrated development with shopoffices and a mall and its follow-up, TEN KINRARA (due to be completed in 2020), is of the same format. The only difference between the two similar developments is that TEN KINRARA will have two residential blocks as opposed to EIGHT KINRARA’s single tower and will sport 22 storeys instead of 35 of EIGHT KINRARA. TEN KINRARA will be placed behind EIGHT KINRARA, making it slightly further away by a few metres from the BK5 LRT Station, unlike EIGHT KINRARA where the LRT is at its doorstep.

As an integrated development TEN KINRARA will also have 39 shop units covering three floors starting from the Ground Floor to the Second Floor. Above the shops will be the residential component with 380 units of homes.

TEN KINRARA will be linked by a bridge to EIGHT KINRARA which in turn, is linked by the elevated bridge to the LRT Station. Both residences were designed to bid a warm welcome to vertical living and working interconnected to the capital city.

The Evolution of a Township

Much of Bandar Kinrara’s development through the years has been symbiotic with the growth of its neighbouring townships. Sandwiched in between Puchong Jaya, Puchong and Bukit Jalil, Bandar Kinrara  ─ often called a “market follower” by property analysts ─ has also risen up the real estate ranks in tandem.

However, Bandar Kinrara’s “relationship” (so to speak) is more so with Bukit Jalil than with Puchong. Once upon a time decades back, Kinrara estate and Bukit Jalil estate were plantation land owned by the same company called the Bukit Jalil Estate Agencies (Kinrara Group Estates Sdn Bhd).

One estate (Bukit Jalil) was acquired by the government to build the Bukit Jalil National Sports Stadium while the other (Kinrara) ─ a prime piece of real estate spanning 1,904 acres (771 hectares) with the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve as its backdrop ─ remained in private ownership.

In 1991, Perumahan Kinrara Berhad (a member of the I&P Group Sdn Bhd) started township development on this vast parcel, beginning with Bandar Kinrara 1 (or BK1) with low-cost terrace houses, Bandar Kinrara 2 (BK2) with double-storey terraces and so on, right up to BK9, the last section.

But while Bandar Kinrara was being built up by sections, the Bukit Jalil Highway (Federal Route 217) came to be in 1995. While it “split” Bandar Kinrara into two portions, it also spurred the expansion of the township on both sides of the highway. BK1 to BK3 ─ the older sections of the Bandar Kinrara development ─ are today on the right side of the Bukit Jalil highway heading to Puchong Jaya while BK4 to BK9 (where The Zest is today) are on the left.  An underpass below the highway links the old to the new sections and vice versa.

Wide, quiet and mostly empty roads is one of the most endearing features of Bandar Kinrara.

Hot in BK5

TEN KINRARA is in BK5 and that is a very good thing in terms of returns for anyone’s property investment here. BK5 is where the action is as it is the heart of Bandar Kinrara, pulsating with business, retail, F&B, recreation and a large population.

Giant Kinrara is there along with the BK5 LRT Station which is just a stone’s throw from Kinrara Niaga 1, 2 and 3 ─ I&P’s new blocks of shoplots surrounding EIGHT and TEN KINRARA, plus other established features of the area such as Masjid Al-Ehsan, the Malaysian Cricket Association (a proposed recreational club will be built next to the Cricket field in time to come), Sek Men Kebangsaan Seksyen 4, A&W and plenty of petrol stations.

Connectivity

Naturally, being at the banks of the ever-flowing Bukit Jalil Highway, connectivity is a given. The highway is connected to the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP), Maju Expressway (MEX), the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway, the Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas) and the New Pantai Expressway.

Summary

The immediate locale around the two serviced apartments ─ EIGHT and TEN KINRARA ─ is set for a boom of sorts, what with plans to develop more commercial centres and a recreational and sports club next to the existing cricket club for a full-fledged township.  Already, Kinrara Niaga, the newly-completed 3-storey shoplots are beginning to fill up with eateries and businesses.

EIGHT KINRARA, the earlier serviced apartment, was highly successful when it was launched, it was sold by ballot and it was sold out in days. Investors could see right away the potential in gains for such a piece of property. After all, it is located in the hottest and hippest part of Kinrara right next to an LRT station.

The same can be said for its “sister” development TEN KINRARA located in the same sweet spot. About to be launched officially, the serviced apartment is built to the same exemplary standards providing:

  • Excellent Comfort with sufficient ventilation and light openings for user comfort and yet careful orientation to avoid direct sunlight, thus reducing glare and heat;
  • Fabulous Views in terms of balconies that face the Kuala Lumpur skyline (North), the serene forest reserve (South), the scenic golf course (East) and the Subang skyline (West); and
  • Unbeatable Accessibility with walking-distance access to Kinrara BK5 LRT Station as well as highway connection to the Bukit Jalil Highway, KESAS, LDP and MEX.

What’s more, the project is built by I&P, a trusted brand name with a string of accolades as can be seen in the section above.  As responsible developers, all their townships and developments have seen capital appreciation of over 50% in a few short years. And it’ll be the same with TEN KINRARA ─ primed to be a winner in its own right. This is a valuable deal. That’s why the developer is keeping to its price of RM700psf.
