Mah Sing Group Berhad’s RM1.4billion M City Jalan Ampang which was opened for preview from 27-29 May 2011 for registrants, enjoyed a 98% take up for Phase 1A over the weekend.

Mah Sing’s group managing director Leong Hoy Kum said, “Prospective buyers started queuing up outside our sales gallery since 5 am and the atmosphere was charged up as the gallery was packed with buyers. Over the 3 days, 176 units out of 180 units were taken up and we decided to open up Phase 1B comprising 221 units of designer SoHo.”

Located close to Ampang Point with the proposed MRT nearby, M City Jalan is less than 4 km from KLCC and only 1.26km from M Suites Jalan Ampang.

It is also within a short distance from the Great Eastern Mall as well as Gleneagles Intan Medical Center.

M City affords 3 panoramic views namely KLCC which is less than 4km away, Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir and the refreshing mountain views of the Titiwangsa range.

Adopting a garden city concept, M City will enjoy over 4 acres of greenery with thematic hanging gardens at levels 7, 11, 17, 23, 29 and 35.

This is likely to be the first such concept for high rise in Malaysia and has drawn strong interest with over 3,000 registrants for the designer SoHo suites, residential suites and sky villas.

There will also be lifestyle retail outlets to cater to the needs of residents and tenants.

The first component namely the designer SoHo suites comprises single storey units with built ups of 781sq ft, 853sq ft and 1,066 sq ft as well as duplex units with built ups of 910sq ft and 1,330sq ft.

These units are semi-furnished and averagely priced at RM800 per sq ft (psf).

M City will also be Green Building Index (GBI) compliant.

Leong added, “Prospective buyers can still select choice units at the sales gallery on the 5th Floor of The Icon Jalan Tun Razak which is open daily from 10am – 6pm including Sundays and Public Holidays.

We have taken great care to design products that are aesthetically pleasing yet practical, and this has drawn very positive response from buyers. The strong take up adds to our confidence and we shall soon roll out 2 more projects namely Icon City Petaling Jaya and Icon Residence’ Mont Kiara to meet this pent up demand for manageably sized units in good locations.”
