Aradia Residence Overview
An Inspired Development
The Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North is a mixed-development project co-developed by China-based builder, Country Garden Holdings Co Ltd and Malaysian developer Perdana ParkCity Sdn Bhd.
Slated for a relatively short 10-years development period, Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North once completed is envisaged to be a remarkably vibrant and thriving urban community strategically situated in a sustainably developed 80-acre plot of land which includes a natural lake.
Central to the Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North development is the HOPSCA concept, which refers to “Hotel, Office, Park, Shopping Mall, Connectivity and Apartments”.
The concept visualizes the current direction taken by major developers of large-scale mixed-use commercial urban developments.
Right from the start, Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North has set its mind on what matters most to both residents and tenants, that is in bringing convenience to overall aspects of life through: In Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North, this vision entails a development plan comprising three communal zones, six lifestyle scenes, a Lake Club, a Smart Community app and community areas with an emphasis on natural, botanic living, without compromising modern necessities. Thus, facilities such as outdoor WiFi connections, charging stations, mosquito repellent lights, temporary lockers and automated laundry services are included development parcel. The idea is for Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North to be the ideal modern lifestyle model for home and business owners alike. Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North is located off Jalan Kuching, toward Rawang, next to Taman Wahyu, near Kampung Batu, Kuala Lumpur. The area is near the neighbourhood comprising Kepong, Selayang, Sentul and Jalan Kuching. The whole project is designed from the start to be a living community urban development with only 19.63 acres from the total land area slated as its commercial site, with a retail mall, hotels, small offices homes offices (SoHos) and conventional offices. All nine phases of the Lake City @ KL North residential and commercial development would be built around the lake. There is good connectivity to the Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North with accessibility via three major roads of Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong, DUKE highway, and Middle Ring Road 2, and MRT2. Kuala Lumpur City Centre is but a mere 15 minutes of normal driving. Aside from main roadways, the development is also serviceable by the increasingly extensive rail network linking the various urban centres around Klang Valley. The upcoming Metro Prima MRT2 Station, scheduled for operation in 2021, is about 3.5km from the project while the Taman Wahyu KTM station is situated less than 5km away. Early takers of Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North are spared any worries over the relative infant stage of the project with a plethora of both public and private amenities in the immediate surrounding area. The educational needs of the young ones, too, are well-catered for within minutes of the development with, amongst others: Rest and recreational needs are amply served by a major attraction in the area, the Kepong Metropolitan Lake Garden recreational park, which is just 7km away. As for shopping need, there are three major retailers within a few minutes’ drive in Aeon Big and Brem Mall in Kepong and Tesco Selayang. The neighbouring area for the Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North is a relatively mature, mainly residential constituent with a reported population base of some 116,755 based on a 2018 national census. There has been an increase in traffic in the area as of late due to the MRT2 works and the new high density residential projects along the four-lane Jalan Kepong, which have led to congestion along the major routes. These are temporary, nonetheless, with the completion of the stations and rail system poised to reduce the number of vehicles aside from the widening of existing roads and adding of new access roads. Charting the development progress of Lake City @ KL North is the Aradia Residence, comprising 1,003 residential apartments and 23 commercial lots, occupying a land size of around 4.4 acres for a plot ratio of 6:9 for a comfortable, low density, community. Catering to a good range of residency needs and requirements, Aradia offers six types of residential apartments built within three 43-storey blocks. Six Options Type A, a one-bedroom unit, has a built-up area ranging from of 567square feet while Type B, progressing to two bedrooms and a single bath, offers 770 square feet in built-up areas. Both have some 35 units each on offer as it is the more popular option of three bedrooms units of in Type C and D, with built-up areas ranging from 943 to 992 square feet, providing the bulk in units with 382 apartments on offer. The most spacious offerings for Aradia are the dual key four-bedroom units of Type E and F, with built-up space ranging between 1,484 and 1,687 square feet. 86 are up for grabs for these units. Side Benefits An added benefit to purchasers is that all the apartment units are partially furnished with fully fitted kitchen, complete with cooker hoods and hob and flue, and toilets with cabinet, mirror and water heater. Purchasers of apartment units of above 1,000 square feet in the built-up area gain an extra car parking slot to the one unit for all units, with the reserved car parks located in the phase eight-storey elevated car park. Commercial lots are between 852 to 2,135 sq feet, and Aradia is expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2023. Distinct Expansiveness The windmill concept applied to the construction of the Aradia Residence is yet another highlight in how Lake City @ KL North focuses on the overall experience accorded to their residents above all else. This unique method was chosen as not only does it provide a wider and better view for residents, but it would also avoid the units from facing each other. More than just a marketing move, the adopted windmill concept required optimal engineering of the construction, enabling the maximising of viewing angles with minimal blocking. Angles of the residential towers are then set between 180 to 270 degree, allowing a high level of privacy to tenants and ensuring the resident’s privacies from peering eyes from the other units. Engineers also worked into the construction double-sided ventilation for maximum comfort in the free flow of air passages while the building orientations caters for indirect sunlight, avoiding the dreaded direct morning and afternoon glares. Opting for such orientations allow tenants a good view of either the lake, garden or city views. In-House Recreations It is a given for a competitive mixed development to provide ample recreational facilities within their projects, and Aradia features a compelling list that would impact positively and used by as many as possible. Included in the construction blueprint of the first phase are: ● Swimming pool ● Sauna ● Gym ● Basketball court ● Darts and snooker room ● KTV room and facility. For families, Aradia has the following for quiet times and supporting amenities: ● A garden with a maze ● Children and Nursery centre ● A reading room Smart and Secure The drive towards convenience for residents sees Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North pushing the incorporation of as many technological advances as practicable. In line with the vision and aim of including a Smart Community, Aradia introduces a state-of-the-art Smart entry and ingress systems for ease of use by both tenants and their visitors. The system uses a combination of mobile applications and remote communications and surveillance system to enable a secure yet enabling process that is easily applied daily. Components of the system include: The functionality of the system is important, and this is where using the mobile application method comes into play as this makes it easily accessible to everyone for a very low cost, and yet providing for a secure platform providing a high level of safety and security to the residents. These, together with a combination of round the clock 24/7 security patrols, security checks at the entrance, smart electronic surveillance with CCTVS at every corner and controlled access to the car park and lobby makes for a secure 8-Tier Security System. Should the tenants wish to use many of the facilities available within the development, there will also be a Smart Facility enabling reservations to be made remotely via the same mobile application. The area where Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North is located within is slated for greater development growth especially since it was included in the MRT2 construction plan with seven out the 26 stations catering to the neighbourhood. This transit system alignment and coupled with developers embracing the transit-oriented development (TOD) concept as popularised in Singapore, Hong Kong and other rail network heavy regions, interest in green or brown land parcels correspondingly increased. Experience elsewhere shows exactly how planning and building residential development and amenities close to a transit station helps in building a more comfortable community and lessening the burden placed on the choked public roads. The increase of convenient transportation accessibility also allows those who aren’t in the bracket of groups with an inclination towards private vehicles ownership to settle in such development and thus spurring the overall growth factor. A mature zone, long disregarded for new development, became a hot spot worth investing. The infrastructural development is good news for first-time homeowners looking for properties either close or easily accessible to the city centre. This residential project by UEM Sunrise in partnership with Melati Ehsan Group of Mont’ Kiara fame is by far the biggest competitor to Aradia Residence Lake City @ KL North. Next to Kepong Metropolitan Park and fronting the Kepong Metropolitan lake garden, Residensi AVA is the first phase residential offering of the whole Kiara Bay development, a 72-acre mixed development township project comprising residential, commercial, retail mall, hotel, healthcare and education centres. The distinctive characteristics of the development are its three districts offering a lakefront elevated city living experience. They are: The Waters – the lakefront district, The Walk – its commercial hub, and the Village – the residential zone. Residensi AVA offers apartments with built-up sizes from 813 to 1258 sq ft, in two to four bedrooms options. Another similar offering is Mah Sing Group’s M Luna project, a serviced apartment development next to the Kepong Metropolitan Park. The project comprises two 57-storey tall towers housing apartments units with built-up sizes between 700 to 1,000 sq feet, with two to four bedrooms options. The project offers its purchasers excellent view of the Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve. Prospects The upward trend is in new homeowners looking towards the closed community lifestyle by investing in condominiums and serviced apartments.
