MRT boost to project
TTDI Ascencia condo will have rail connection
PETALING JAYA: The close proximity to the upcoming Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) MyRapid Transit (MRT) station is TTDI Ascencia’s selling point which will attract potential buyers or investors.
According to Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd senior general manager for marketing and sales Mohd Johan Shadzli Mohd Daud, its location will enable residents in the upcoming condominium development to “have a seamless connection” to the MRT and wider rapidly developing rail networks in the country.
“We expect that once we officially launch this, TTDI Ascencia will be easily sold due to the MRT station factor. With the MRT station, residents (here) can take the train to places such as 1 Utama, The Curve or even Kajang. It’s convenient to escape road congestion,” Johan said.
The entrance of the 36-storey free hold condominium development is located several metres away from the staircase leading up to the overhead bridge that leads to the TTDI MRT station, according to the building model showcased at its sales gallery.
The development consists of 154 units on 0.9 acre with individual sizes ranging from a studio of 520 sq ft-1,600 sq ft with internal configurations of one to three bedrooms.
“Sitting on a small land size of 0.9 acre, we have to ensure that the design is maximised yet accomodative to the size (of land) we have. We are also mindful that per unit sizes cannot be (too) big because selling prices per sq ft is not cheap today,” he said.
TTDI Ascencia is designed by GDP Architects and units are semi-furnished with kitchen cabinet, hood, hob, wardrobe in the master bedroom, hot water supply, a minimum of two air-conditioners and plaster ceiling.
The early bird package which will be offered for a limited time will give buyers a 5% discount (bumiputra buyers will get an additional 5%), loan and the sale and purchase agreement fees waived, and firstyear maintenance waived (thereafter at 35 sen per sq ft for the first two years).
“Price per sq ft for this development is slightly more than RM1,000 and we have enquiries on this development mainly from residents staying in TTDI itself. The people staying seem to be more inclined to buy the units here either for investment or for their children as they are used to the locality of Taman Tun,” Johan said.
“Rental yields will be attractive and will easily be more than RM2,000. This is the kind of yields we can expect from this area,” he added.
The development is expected to be completed in 42 months from the launch date at the beginning of February.
