| Well attended: Prospective buyers checking out property at EkoCheras Hotel and Office Suites launch at its sales gallery in Jalan Desa Gombak 1. |
DEVELOPER Ekovest Bhd says it saw brisk sales at the launch of its EkoCheras
Hotel and Office Suites project.
Ekovest managing director Datuk Lim Keng Cheng said within the first hour of the launch last month, 50% of the hotel and 40% of the office suites were booked.
EkoCheras is a mixed development situated on a 4.8ha freehold land on Jalan Cheras and is close to the planned Taman Mutiara MRT station. It consists of serviced apartments, office suites, hotel suites and a shopping mall.
“Our concept is to transform the office requirements in Cheras. The traditional businessman in Cheras buys a shoplot and turns it into an office but since we launched our residential units a lot of people have started requesting for Grade A offices.
A Grade A office is a brand new, recently developed or refurbished office building in a prime location.
“That is why we converted our original shops lot into a four-level shopping mall and built an office tower.
“Many people also requested for the hotel. The hotel is flexible, we allow people to invest in it and we will lease back from them or they can choose to stay. It will be managed by Ekovest Asset Management.
“In all our development, we emphasise clean, neat and sustainable designs. Our designs are also durable and energy-efficient.

Desa Gombak 1.
The hotel suites are priced RM100 per sq ft and come in two layouts of 250 sq ft. The office suites are priced at RM800 per sq ft and range between 1,118sq ft and 2,706sq ft.

Ekovest sales and marketing manager Brandon Lim says the company is well aware of the flooding that happen occasionally in the area and have plans underway to mitigate future floods.
“Kuala Lumpur City Hall awarded tenders on Dec 3 last year to upgrade the Jalan Cheras crossing from Taman Mutiara Barat towards the opposite side of Sungai Kerayong.
“EkoCheras assisted DBKL to design and prepare the pipe culvert tender document for free.
“A total of four pipe culverts with the diameter of 1.5m will be installed to ensure a greater discharge capacity with the existing box culvert. Relocation of services has begun on Jan 8 and DBKL is expecting the completion of the pipe culverts by Sept 16 this year.
“Jalan Cheras fronting EkoCheras Development Kuala Lumpur bound traffic side will be raised between 0.5m to 1m. Accordingly, the basement entry/exit points thus completely eliminating the surface water from entering into the basement.
“As a further measure, the basement will also be equipped with pumps to discharge any incidental surface water originating from the basement entry/exit points,” he said, adding that the company is also building a U-turn ramp to MRR2 heading towards Jalan Ampang which is expected to be completed by 2017.
