Block C of MIRAI Residences @ Kajang 2 will be launched at the end of March. The mixed-use development — a joint venture between MKH Bhd and Panasonic Homes Malaysia Sdn Bhd — occupies a 10.46-acre freehold parcel and will comprise 1,496 serviced apartments and 67 shops (with built-ups starting from 3,035 sq ft). 

MIRAI Residences, which is expected to be completed in 2024, will comprise four blocks with a gross development value (GDV) of RM666 million. 

The 23-storey Block A and 24-storey Block B (a total of 748 units) were launched on Sept 30, 2020, and have achieved a take-up rate of more than 90% to date. Following the positive response, the developer is confident there will be demand for Block C.

The 24-storey Block C will consist of 382 units with built-ups of 578, 840 and 931 sq ft in 2- or 3-bedroom and 1- or 2-bathroom layouts. Selling prices start from RM320,000. Block D, comprising 366 units in a 23-storey block, will be launched at a later date.

According to MKH deputy property director Datuk Kenneth Chen, “Mirai” means “future” in Japanese. The development will offer Japanese-inspired tranquil living and will be the first residential property in Malaysia to provide the Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system by Panasonic for the 840 and 931 sq ft units, as well as air conditioners with Nanoe technology for all units.

Chen explains that the ERV system is an optimum air solution plan that efficiently maintains outstanding indoor air quality through air supply and exhaust which, in turn, will purify indoor air quality without the need to open the windows. 

“Compared with open windows for air ventilation, the temperature variations in a room can be suppressed to achieve energy efficiency. We want to respond to the growing customer demand for quality indoor air amid the Covid-19 pandemic and provide residents with a safer and more comfortable living environment,” he explains.

Hence, the units at MIRAI Residences will be suitable for buyers from various income groups, including young professionals, small families, first-time homeowners, parents who are buying for their children and investors looking for good rental returns.

Chen says the development will provide a 24-hour, six-tier security system and have a 159,000 sq ft facility deck at the podium offering more than 40 resort-style facilities, including a swimming pool, wading pool, parcourse, futsal court, gazebo, sauna, indoor Jacuzzi, gymnasium, meditation deck, reading room, games room, multipurpose hall and basketball court. The maintenance fee is estimated at 25 sen psf per month.

The 270-acre Kajang 2, which has a GDV of RM3.3 billion, comprises residential and commercial components and is expected to be completed over 10 years. The development is only a seven-minute walk to the Kajang 2 KTM station, which is currently under construction.

Nearby amenities include De Centrum Mall, Metro Point Complex, Plaza Metro Kajang, Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), New Era University College, KPJ Kajang Specialist Hospital, Kajang General Hospital and Bangi Golf Resort.

In terms of connectivity, Kajang 2 is easily accessed via the Cheras-Kajang Expressway, South Klang Valley Expressway, North-South Expressway, Sungai Besi Expressway, Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK Highway) and Kajang-Seremban Highway.
