Location
KL East is located in the eastern corridor of the Kuala Lumpur city centre (KLCC), which encompasses the Wangsa Maju, Setiawangsa, Ampang, and Ulu Klang suburbs, among others. Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) serves as the main artery for the area, connecting the aforementioned areas to other towns like Cheras in the south, and Kepong and Genting Highlands in the north.
The area is also accessible via the Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE), the Ampang-KL Elevated Highway (AKLEH) which leads to the basement car park of Petronas Twin Towers/Suria KLCC, New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway (SPE), and Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE).
With the Setiawangsa Pantai Expressway (SPE), the area will also have direct links to major developments in Kuala Lumpur, including the Tun Razak Exchange, Bukit Bintang City Centre, and Bandar Malaysia.
KL East is a transit-adjacent development (TAD) as it is only a 10-minute walk to the Gombak Integrated Transport Terminal (GITT), accessible via covered walkways and cycle lanes. It will be integrated with the operational Gombak LRT station, Rapid KL, taxi hub and a terminal for buses plying the Genting Highlands route.

Analysis
Adjacent to The Veo is Sime Darby Property’s first 100%-owned retail mall. KL East Mall, which opened its doors in November 2020, has a gross built-up of about 1.2 million sq ft and a net lettable area of 384,210 sq ft.
Residents of The Veo, and the surrounding neighbourhood of middle to middle-upper income brackets, will enjoy a more convenient lifestyle soon.
The mall will enjoy a primary catchment of 1.28 million population with healthy purchasing power, through a total household income of RM29.5 billion per annum. The mall is also well positioned to attract a large student population, as there are various education institutions within its proximity.
The developer expects to see more people coming to KL East once developments in the area are fully complete.
The growth in population will help transform KL East into a future business and education hub, making KL East Mall perfectly poised to reap the benefits of its thriving population.
Key tenants of the KL East Mall includes Jaya Grocer, Camp5, MBO, Blue Ice-Skating Rink, Toys ‘R’ Us, Harvey Norman and Café Chef Wan.
The Veo is the inaugural residential towers of KL East, which stands as the first development phase of the township. The second development phase is The Ridge, a freehold serviced residence located directly above of KL East Mall.

Summary
The Veo has good potential in terms of investment. With developments like The Ridge (also at KL East) and Sunway Montana located within the same vicinity, it will create a stretch of luxury residential and commercial properties along the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2).
The rapid developments in Taman Melawati in the past few years have resulted in higher prices for the older houses. The developer is leveraging on the uniqueness of the site to sell KL East properties.
It is a hillside development, but the developer is trying to develop it in such a way that does not touch the key profile of the area.
