Riana Green East Kuala Lumpur Wangsa Maju

KUALA LUMPUR: Elegan Pesona Sdn Bhd, the developer of Riana Green east.KL in Wangsa Maju, is banking on the successful landscaping concept of Tropicana's Riana Green. The Riana Green development, which was launched in 1993 in Petaling Jaya, was undertaken by IJM and a major selling point was the landscaping features.Elegan Pesona is a joint venture company owned by IJM Properties Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of IJM Corp Bhd, and Landmarks Land & Properties Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Landmarks Bhd and landowner of the site.Riana Green east.KL, located off Jalan Jelatek and 6.5km from KLCC, is a leasehold 13.96-acre development comprising three phases of condominiums. It has a gross development value of RM380 million and is nestled on a hill 400 ft above sea level.Sagaris, the first phase, is scheduled for completion in 2009 and is the largest phase in the development comprising a 36-storey tower, two mid-rise blocks of 10 and 11 storeys, and a central plaza block. When fully completed in 2012, the entire development will have a total of 954 units.The first phase offers condominium units with built-ups ranging from 979 to 4,500 sq ft (for a duplex) with 16 layouts to choose from. While prices have not been firmed, the units are expected to go for between RM199,000 and RM1.05 million, plus a service charge and sinking fund of 21 sen psf."The landscaping and designs found in Riana Green east.KL is typical of an IJM development... we stress on the landscaping, which is based on our Riana Green in Tropicana," says IJM Properties managing director Teh Kean Ming.He was speaking at a media briefing for Riana Green east.KL, whose first phase is scheduled for an early August launch.Among the landscaping features, he says, is a 5-acre green zone or linear park that will run through the entire development. "We want to stress the ambience of the place. There is a canopy walk through the entire development and a conservatory for meditation," he adds.Teh expects good response to the launch based on the 800 people who have registered their interest since the show unit was opened. "We have an entire range of layouts to cater to different people and our average built up of 1,900 sq ft will appeal to those with larger families who want to upgrade," he says.Each phase will have its own facilities and management corporation, which is different from Riana Green in Tropicana, where there is one management corporation for the entire development.The second and third phases will be similar to the first phase and depending on the market and cost, will be priced higher.

"Only a fifth of this 5.6ha site is built-up. The major part of the development will be focused on a small area, minimising cutting into the hill and preserving the natural terrain with trees," he said.Phase One of the development will see 391 units in 16 variants with sizes ranging from 979 sq ft for a 1+1 bedroom to 4,300 sq ft duplex. The average selling price ranges from RM199,000 to RM1.05 million.Attractive features in the project include 2.5m high doors and window frontage, 3m clear ceiling height and a unique open-air shower which enables a resident to retreat into the peaceful surrounding of privacy, he added.Amenities available at Riana Green east.KL project include a playground, wading and bubbler pools, sauna, tennis court, squash court, meditation pavillion, kindergarden, laundrette and multi-purpose halls.
