This article provides an overview of Arden, a new residential development in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. This project is a joint venture between Asaga Badu and Kimun C I.
Kimun C I: A Reputable Construction and Engineering Company
Kimun C I is a listed company in Malaysia with a strong reputation in construction and engineering. They are also involved in property development projects throughout Malaysia.
Impressive Project Portfolio
Kimun C I has a proven track record, including:
-
Construction of the Pan Borneo Highway, the longest highway in Malaysia.
-
Construction of the Coastal Highway in Johor Bahru, connecting the town to the Iskandar Puteri area (formerly known as the Iskandar Regional Development Authority).
-
Construction of Gleneagles Medini, one of the largest hospitals in Johor Bahru.
CIDB Grade 7 Certification
Kimun C I is registered with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and holds the highest grade, Grade 7. This allows them to tender for projects of any size, assuring potential buyers of the quality of construction for Arden.
Arden Sales Gallery and Location
The Arden sales gallery showcases the project's design and features. The building's design is comparable to Pavilion KL. Arden is located near Asaka, an iconic building and one of the tallest residential towers in Southeast Asia.
Enhanced Accessibility
A new flyover bridge will provide direct access to Arden and future developments, addressing previous traffic concerns near the customs area. The existing traffic light will be removed to create a free-flowing traffic route. This aims to resolve congestion issues.
Future Mixed Development
The surrounding land is planned for a mixed development that will include a hotel and shopping mall. This promises increased convenience and value for Arden residents. The hotel will be a five-star, prestigious establishment.
Unit Types and Investment Opportunities
Arden offers different levels catering to different needs.
Low-Rise Units (Levels 10-37)
These units are designed for investment purposes and can be managed as Airbnb rentals by a renowned hotel operator, Airbnb.
High-Rise Units (Levels 38-68)
These units are exclusively for homeowners who desire a higher-level living experience. Residents of these units have access to the Sky Lounge located at the top of the building.
Versatile Options for Buyers
The developer separates the levels to provide buyers with the choice of buying for investment or as a home. For Airbnb investors, the developer offers a renovation and furnishing package for RM 80,000.
Facilities
Arden boasts extensive facilities, including an infinity pool, a multi-purpose function room, and a semi-indoor long trail. The facilities are comparable to high-end residences like Aliva, but elevated to a higher standard. Other high-class facilities include a wine bar and sauna room similar to Asaka.
Show Units
Two show units are available for viewing: a two-bedroom unit (797 sq ft) and a three-bedroom unit (1,114 sq ft).
Two-Bedroom Unit (797 sq ft)
The two-bedroom unit features an open-concept kitchen and dining area, similar to Aliva. The kitchen is positioned at the entrance, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The unit includes sizable rooms with ample lighting and a standard-sized toilet. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed with sufficient walkway space, a combination dressing and working table, and a two-door wardrobe.
Three-Bedroom Unit (1,114 sq ft)
The three-bedroom unit features a spacious living room with full-height windows. The concept is an open space featuring a dining table and sofa. It has a master bedroom that isn't too big but is sizeable. It also contains a full-height window, a dressing table, a large-size TV and a huge bathtub (included in the package but shower screen isn't). There are two smaller rooms with a full-height window that share a common toilet. This unit uniquely features a separated dry kitchen, wet kitchen, and yard, which is uncommon in typical apartments. The dry kitchen allows for a super-large fridge, while the wet kitchen has a sink, L-shaped countertop, and a two-burner stove. The yard provides space for a washing machine and potentially a dryer.
Conclusion
Arden is an anticipated project due to its prime location and reasonable pricing. It offers a luxury, service-residence concept suitable for investment through Airbnb. The condo is conveniently located 850 meters from the RTS station and provides a shuttle bus service. Service residents benefit from doorstep food delivery and guest escorting. Transport arrangement service to the RTS station or CIQ are available. Arden offers two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom units.
