A new haven in Ipoh
STARBIZWEEK, SATURDAY 17APRIL 2010
THE HAVEN is expected to raise the bar in condominium living in Ipoh when completed in 2013.
The Haven SdnBhd co-principal Peter Chan says the RM230mil lakeside development will boast five-star services and amenities.
“The Haven is a development of distinction with trappings of luxury and functionality. It is an idyllic hideaway amidst nature with its centrepiece – a 1.6ha natural lake and monolithic limestone rock formations,” he says.
The project comprises three blocks of 26-storey condominiums with a total of 489 units built on 9.63ha. It will include all the facilities of an up market condominium including a club house complete with gymnasium, sauna, a cafe/restaurant, a 60 m pool, spa, children’s playground and ample car parking facilities.
Chan says preservation of nature formed the cornerstone of the development as the company recognises the need to care for the environment and to reduce its carbon footprint.
“Our aim is for The Haven to be among the first developments to harvest nature’s renewable resources to power and maintain common areas. We will use solar panels and wind technology. Water from the lake will be harvested for common washing areas,” he says.
According to Chan, the water from the lake can be used for drinking as its quality surpasses the World Health Organisation’s requirements.
Despite being so close to nature, The Haven is only 10 minutes from the city centre and between three and eight minutes to all the major hypermarkets.
The Haven, Chan says, will have multi-layered security such as closed-circuit televisions, computer card access for residents, fenced perimeter and regular security patrolling.
The size of the units range between 893 sqft and 2,840 sqft and are priced from RM270,000 to RM1.4mil.
“Response has been overwhelming since our show unit was opened for viewing recently,” Chan says, adding that buyers from Singapore and Hong Kong had purchase some 60 units so far.
“We are confident of its appeal as a home for those in Ipoh as well as a retreat or vacation home for other Malaysians and foreigners,” he says.
The Haven SdnBhd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Superboom Projects Sdn Bhd.
Superboom Projects is the developer of the 576-unit Permai Lakeview Apartments in Ipoh and Subang Galaxy in Shah Alam.
