CL Integrated Resources Sdn Bhd has introduced a “sky garden” concept for its 1 Sentul condominium in Kuala Lumpur.

The “sky garden”, on level 23 of one of the project's two towers, will cover area of 4,500 sq ft. The other tower will have penthouses on its top floor instead.

Managing director Kenneth Lim said the company could have built more penthouses but preferred to give buyers something unique that could also add value to their investment.

Besides the “sky garden”, he said, there would also be a recreational deck with a swimming/wading pool, gymnasium, sauna, nursery, multipurpose hall and children's playground among other facilities. Residents can also enjoy WiFi Internet broadband access at the podium.

“At RM260 to RM290 per sq ft, 1 Sentul's price is about half that of some Mont' Kiara condominiums,” added Lim.

The 284-unit freehold project consists of two layout types: Type A (1,081 sq ft with three-bedroom/two bathroom) and Type B (1,355 sq ft with 3+1 bedroom/two bathroom). Priced from RM257,800 each, every unit is a corner unit. There will be eight units (four of each type) per floor. Each unit will get two parking bays.

Lim said one of the blocks was soft launched in January and about 50% of the 140 units had been sold.

“We have sold all the four penthouses priced at around RM800,000 each. We are also giving away a free clothes dryer, free first two years' maintenance, no interest during construction, and credit card interest-free easy payment scheme for 12 months' instalment,” he added.

CL Integrated Resources has four partners. The other three directors are Chu Bak Teck, John Lam and chairman Datuk Pua Kim An.

Meanwhile, the company plans to launch an RM150mil service apartment cum commercial project called Tree Lodge in SS3, Petaling Jaya late this year. It will have a unique “sky garden” concept where every third floor will have a “green” area.

The units with sizes of about 500 sq ft to 1,300 sq ft will be priced from RM300 to RM330 per sq ft. There will be retail lots on the first two floors.

Its proposed 50-acre leasehold, U10 high-end gated and guarded community project next to Bukit Jelutong in Shah Alam might be launched in three years' time.

The company has been in the property development business since 1994. It has done seven to eight projects and completed over 1,000 mixed housing units.
