Project Details
Brandishing a bright purple on its exterior, the Terresse 2 definitely catches the eyes of potential home owners. A successor to its predecessor Terrese, this development undertaken by property giant IOI Group is conveniently located in the heart of Bandar Puteri Bangi.
A notch up its predecessor, Terresse 2 introduces its 24 feet wider space concept, boasting a double volume dining area and fully extended kitchen. The wider space concept also features a sizable garden, capable of accommodating plants and flowers for a cozy feel.
The current site progress shows a 70% completion rate, scheduled to be completed somewhere in May 2017. Let us dive into details to understand this astounding development a little bit further.
Teresse 2 is a 2-storey terrace houses consisting of 111 units in total. The project carries residential title and sits on a piece of freehold land. Each lot size is made up of 24’ x 70’ and has built-ups ranging from 2,406 sq ft to 2,525 sq ft. The terrace houses will have a front car porch which is able to accommodate up to 2 to 3 cars. The corner lots are of course bigger at 2,525 sq ft and are able to fit up to 3 cars.
The layout of the houses will be identical across the board and will comprise of 4 + 1 rooms with 4 bathrooms. There will be 1 guest room and 1 bathroom located on ground floor. The 1st floor houses 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom will have an en-suite bathroom with the other 2 bedrooms each having their own bathrooms which can be adjoined by connecting doors.
Terresse 2 comes at an affordable price range from RM748,000 to RM1,007,800, giving it an RM400 per sq ft. price. There will be 7% discount given to bumiputera purchasers.
Perhaps one of its selling points is in its extra spacious kitchen which is divided into wet and dry areas. Take a trip to the show house and see for yourself. You will be amazed at its size and imagine the comforts you will enjoy cooking in it.
Another selling point of Terresse lies in its usage of large expanses of glass and high ceiling height. The concoction of the 2 elements serves to deliver the true definition of ultra-spacious living.
In terms of interiors, there will be a total of 6 ceiling fan points and 4 air-conditioner points provided for the residents. In addition, there will be a total of 33 lighting points provided with 22 13A switch socket outlets. Considering that the cost of installing power points are colossal these days, the developer helps residents to save a bomb by providing so many points.
There is also a balcony located on the top floor of Terresse 2, enabling residents to have a peek of the pristine landscaping overlooking them.
Location
Bandar Puteri Bangi is a township which is located in the district of Kajang, Selangor about 50km away from Kuala Lumpur City Centre. The township is not to be confused with Bangi, which is located about 12km away from Bandar Puteri Bangi. This is evident from the postcode difference with Bandar Puteri Bangi bearing 43000 while Bangi belongs to 43600.
For those of you hailing from Kuala Lumpur, you will most probably be acquainted with the township of Bandar Puteri Puchong in Puchong. As part of its Bandar Puteri franchise, Knowledge Vision which is a subsidiary of IOI Properties Group developed this township in 2014 as an addition to Bandar Puteri Puchong. The township is strategically located along neighbouring precincts such as Putrajaya, Nilai, Kajang, Semenyih and Bangi.
With an estimated completion length of 8 years for the whole township, as of 2016 Bandar Puteri Puchong is still in its infancy stage. If you have travelled to the town before, you will realize that most of its developments are still on-going with very minimal residents occupying the area. One of the most visible projects that has been completed is Tesco Supermarket which is situated right opposite the IOI Sales Gallery.
With a GDV of RM 4 billion, the illustrious township is a collection of residential, commercial as well as many recreational developments designed for the comfort of future residents. The iconic California Street features vibrant streetways which allow for youngsters to skate and cycle around the area. The Tropical Street amasses ideas related to nature by introducing streets which are shaded by umbrella-like giant rain-trees. The Art Street provides residents with a place to discover their creativity with showcases of arts and sculptures.
Apart from that, the township also features ecoOasis Parkland, boasting elements of wood and water within natural terrain and palm tree forests, designed to instil tranquility in the minds of residents. There will be two major commercial developments within Bandar Seri Puteri which is the commercial hubs of Kubica Square and Enigma Square. The construction of a shopping complex, Kompleks Kubica Square is currently underway as we speak.
In terms of connectivity, Bandar Seri Puteri is adjoined by a series of major routes. Visitors travelling from Kuala Lumpur have the option of using either the E37 Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway or New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) to arrive at the township. The journey will take approximately 30 minutes. Those from the Southern Corridor such as Johor or Melaka will also be utilizing the E37 Highway exiting through Exit 213 Putra Mahkota.

2-Storey Terrace | 1,528 – 2,955 |
Summary
For comparison purposes, we have selected Setia Ecohill by SP Setia which is located in the neighbouring township, Semenyih. It is a good apple-to-apple comparison considering that they are both 2-storey terrace houses. In terms of developers, both are equally reputable with transcendent quality. However in terms of township, we still prefer Bandar Puteri Bangi over Semenyih for the fact that the former is newer and poised for more flourishing developments as opposed to the latter, which is an older township. The choice is yours.
