The Connaught One

The Connaught One is a freehold serviced residence in the bustling township of Taman Connaught in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. This project by one of the top Malaysian developers, UEM Sunrise, is the first development to be launched under the developer’s The RISE Series that embodies practical living with an environment that exudes simplicity, recreation and convenience.Properties under this series are designed as flexible and agile spaces able to shape and shift to suit the homebuyers’ lifestyle. The RISE is one of five categories under Happy+, a residential product series which segments UEM Sunrise products into five categories to cater to homebuyers with varying lifestyles and life-stage needs.The Connaught one features five different layouts to choose from, flexibly sized between 452 sq ft to 1,270 sq ft so there is something for everyone.Situated right next to the Taman Connaught MRT station, The Connaught One is a transit-oriented development, with a walkway that connects right into the station to get on the MRT Kajang line. The connecting station for the MRT Putrajaya Line is at Tun Razak Exchange (six stations away) and for LRT Kelana Jaya line is at Pasar Seni (nine stations away).Centred around urban connectivity, what The Connaught One offers is convenience not only to get to public transportation but also to go about your daily activities. Within a 10km radius, there are options for schools, shopping, food, sports, entertainment, recreation, and parks.The Connaught One has five different layouts to cater to different needs, with built-ups between 452 sq ft and 1,270 sq ft.: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 452 sq ft: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 708 sq ft: 3+1 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 960 sq ft: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,000 sq ft: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1,270 sq ftWith so many options of unit configurations, the development is targeted at young couples and growing families. The one-bedroom unit is a good option for single young adults working in the city, especially with the MRT station being within walking distance.Extending its concept of convenience, the facilities provided within the development ensures that residents have all they need without having to leave the building. For exercise and recreation, there are swimming pools (separate ones for wading, leisure and laps), jacuzzi, gymnasium, outdoor gym, yoga deck, jogging track, badminton halls and a half basketball court. For work, there are meeting rooms and a co-working lounge. For leisure, there is a retail square on the lower floors of the development for groceries, dining or simply meeting with friends.Strategically located in a long-established neighbourhood, The Connaught One is easily accessible through the Cheras-Kajang Expressway, and connects easily to major roads such as Jalan Cheras, Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), East West Link Expressway and Cheras Highway.Getting on public transportation is a breeze since the Taman Connaught MRT station is connected to the development. The MRT Kajang Line connects to other MRT and LRT lines through interchange stations. For those working in the city or surrounding areas, this would be a more convenient way to commute, especially to avoid the morning and evening rush hour traffic.With plenty of amenities not only in Taman Connaught itself but in the surrounding neighbourhoods, everything is available within a short distance.
