Renai Jelutong Residences

Renai Jelutong Residences Location

Bukit Jelutong is an upscale residential neighbourhood located in Shah Alam, Selangor. The 2200 acres township was a former oil palm plantation before its development by Guthrie Property Holding Sdn Bhd in 1996. The development by the Sime Darby subsidiary has since become a popular address for homebuyers searching for a prestigious and eco-friendly residence in Selangor. Bukit Jelutong has received several accolades, such as ‘Best Town Planning Scheme Award’ by the Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) in 1997 and the ‘Best Neighbourhood Landscape in Selangor’ by the Selangor State Government in 2001. The residential area is uniquely designed to be a low-density housing estate that provides residents with a refreshing touch of nature. Bukit Jelutong features lots of open space and greenery within its vicinity, turning it into a green haven for city dwellers. The vicinity consists mostly of landed properties like bungalows, duplex houses, and terraced houses. However, several high-rise property launches have been sprouting around the exclusive suburb as well.

The area has a median sale of RM 837,500, making it a neighbourhood mostly occupied by residents from the upper-income bracket.
The peaceful residential enclave is void of large-scale commercial areas to ensure that traffic congestion and noise pollution is kept to a minimum. Nevertheless, the township does have an industrial hub situated in the Bukit Jelutong Industrial Park where low-density multinational corporations, hi-tech industries, logistics warehousing and service facilities are located.

The affluent neighbourhood is a closely-knit one as the Bukit Jelutong Residents Association hosts regular community events. The association has close ties with local authorities and work together to safeguard the safety of residents. Thus, safety is hardly a concern for residents as most areas within the vicinity of Bukit Jelutong are gated and guarded through support from the community and association.
Traffic condition in the area is usually smooth sailing in the low-density residential area. However, slight congestions can be expected along the Guthrie Corridor Expressway during typical office rush hours.

Connectivity

Renai Jelutong Residences is strategically located next to several key expressways which provide access to different parts of the Klang Valley. Firstly, the residence is placed adjacent to the Guthrie Corridor Expressway which opens doors to Sungai Buloh, Rawang, and Ipoh. The New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) is also within reach, connecting residents to Klang and Kuala Lumpur. Also leading to Klang is the Federal Highway, which acts as a link to Petaling Jaya and the Kuala Lumpur city centre. The development is also connected to the ELITE Highway which allows residents to head to Subang Jaya.

As for public transport, the nearest mode of rail transport available at the moment would be the Batu Tiga Komuter Station that is located 7 km away from the property. However, once the LRT3 project is completed, residents of Renai Jelutong Residences would be able to enjoy easy access to various locations between Bandar Utama and Johan Setia in Klang via the light rail line. Commuting by bus is also possible with RapidKL bus number SA05 which passes through the suburbs of Bukit Jelutong while travelling from Seksyen 13 to SJKC Subang. As for air travel, the nearest airport would be the Subang Airport that is just a 15-minute drive away via the NKVE. Prospective residents planning to board international flights may use the ELITE Highway to reach the Kuala Lumpur International Airport within 40 minutes.

Convenience

This development that is designed to be a sanctuary for residents would not be complete for residential stay without being placed nearby an array of amenities. Shopping for daily groceries and necessities is not a problem as Renai Jelutong Residences is surrounded by several shopping complexes and hypermarkets such as Plaza Jelutong, Jaya Grocer, Mydin, and Tesco Shah Alam. Moreover, the upcoming commercial and lifestyle hub, Bukit Jelutong City Centre, will place even more amenities within close proximity to residents.

Health-conscious residents would be pleased to know that the property is positioned nearby several health clinics. The nearest health service available to residents would be Klinik Mediviron @ Bukit Jelutong which is just three minutes away by car. As for hospital services, KPJ Shah Alam, Darul Ehsan Medical Centre, and Sime Darby Healthcare are situated within a 10 km radius from the residence to meet any pressing medical concerns.

Prospective residents with children would not have to look far for their child’s educational needs as there is a diverse selection of schools situated around Renai Jelutong Residences. There are institutions for all levels of learning, ranging from preschool to tertiary education.

Renai Jelutong Residences Floor Plan

The serviced apartment offers four types of units for prospective homebuyers to choose from. Type A is the smallest unit with a built-up area ranging from 788 to 813 sq. ft. The cosy unit has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Type B is more spacious as it comes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms at 1034 to 1099 sq. ft. in size. An upgrade from the Type B unit is Type C which spans 1254 sq. ft. It features the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms as Type B but possesses an additional yard. Lastly, Type D is the most commodious unit as it includes a yard and a study area in addition to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The largest unit is 1314 sq. ft. in size, providing the ultimate luxury in regard to living space.

The purchase of each semi-furnished unit entitles the homebuyer to two parking bays. Since the units are semi-furnished, each comes with a set of electrical appliances and extra fittings. This includes a two in one dryer and washer, split unit air conditioner for the living hall and master bedroom, as well as a built-in kitchen cabinet with hood and hob. The master bathroom is also equipped with a water heater whereas bathroom 2 has a water heater point. Prospective homebuyers who hope to move in quickly would find the semi-furnished units a convenient option.

Overall, the units offered by Renai Jelutong Residences are appropriate for small to medium-sized households given that the largest unit only has three bathrooms. Nevertheless, it can be said that Renai Jelutong Residences aims to deliver in terms of quality rather than quantity as every unit is elegantly and practically designed to optimise space for living comfort.

Renai Jelutong Residences Property Analysis

Renai Jelutong Residences is a one of a kind serviced apartment that is mainly marketed at high-income families. The upscale development is placed in a prime neighbourhood that is renowned for its tranquillity and undisturbed landscapes of lush greenery. With the impressive line-up of lifestyle facilities provided and excellent accessibility to prominent expressways, Renai Jelutong Residences is a dream home for urban households who desire a secure and serene living.

Target Market

The price tag of Renai Jelutong Residences ranges from RM585,000 to RM906,000 or from RM742 per square feet. This places the development in the high-end property segment when compared to the median sale price of Bukit Jelutong which is RM463 per square feet. However, the steep price of the development can be reasoned out with its location within the exclusive residential area of Bukit Jelutong as well as its semi-furnished freehold units and premier lifestyle facilities. Renai Jelutong Residences is definitely a purchase for the upper-income bracket who do not mind spending more for a life-long investment. Moreover, the development boasts a tranquil and eco-friendly environment which is hard to find, especially within a metropolitan area. The serene environment would be a key selling point to the development’s target market of young families and small to medium-sized households who want a contemporary suburban lifestyle of convenience and relaxation accompanied by a touch of nature.

As for homebuyers who are hoping to purchase the property for investment, Renai Jelutong Residences does hold some potential as there are several commercial hubs and business parks surrounding it. However, as the business and commerce scene of Bukit Jelutong has yet to fully bloom, prospective investors can expect better returns in the years to come. Ultimately, Renai Jelutong Residences is a valuable bargain for households who are willing to pay for a better quality lifestyle of vertical living.

Competitor Analysis

The upscale neighbourhood of Bukit Jelutong is home to a number of luxury apartments. Two freehold serviced apartments which are placed nearby Renai Jelutong Residences have been selected for comparison and analysis.

Suria Residence is a development by Sunsuria which comprises three blocks that accommodates 545 units. It is the successor of Suria Jelutong, another high-rise property located adjacent to it that had a successful launch. Suria Residence has the most affordable price per square feet in the list despite being the most recently developed property. Compared to Renai Jelutong Residences, it offers a slightly smaller built-up area range. However, the units are still suitable for its family-oriented market. Similar to Renai Jelutong Residences, Suria Residence incorporates nature into its facilities for a greener living.

Radia Residences has the most expensive price tag of RM750 per square feet despite being completed in 2012. This may be due to how the property is a unique mixed development that comes with a shopping mall, retail outlets, and offices. The project blends luxury living seamlessly with commercial opportunities, thus offering optimum convenience with the variety of retail outlets right at one’s doorsteps. The development by Sime Darby and UEM Sunrise consists of eleven floors which houses 640 units. Among the competitors, Radia Residences boasts the largest built-up area of 2216 sq. ft. However, this would amount to a costly sum due to its already exorbitant price per square feet.

One drawback of Radia Residences is the lack of accessibility to public transportation. As a result, residents who are reliant on public transport would not find Radia Residences to be an apt choice.

In conclusion, Renai Jelutong Residences may not be the newest and most economical serviced apartment available in Bukit Jelutong, but it still puts up a good bargain with its well-rounded facilities, beautiful landscape, and accessibility to key roads and public transport. Homebuyers who wish to purchase a high-end property which features a refreshing element of nature are unlikely to be disappointed with Renai Jelutong Residences.
