KUALA LUMPUR: Sunway Property recorded a take-up rate of 80% for the first tower at its RM590 million integrated development Sunway Avila, the developer’s maiden foray into Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur.

Sunway Bhd property development division central region executive director Chong Sau Min said the project is a good choice for those working in Kuala Lumpur City Centre that commute via the light rail transit (LRT), given its close proximity to the Sri Rampai LRT station.

“We believe that the overwhelming response for Sunway Avila is attributed to having launched the right product, at the right place, at the right price. As a product, Sunway Avila is designed as family homes that come with more than 25 facilities and amenities for an urban lifestyle, close to nature.

“Facilities such as the poolside cabana, outdoor yoga deck, basketball court, sky terrace and Olympic-length infinity pool offer residents great opportunities to enjoy a healthy lifestyle outdoors and enjoy the green surroundings that the increasingly popular Wangsa Maju is famed for,” said Chong in a statement.

The development is located in close proximity to five retail centres, namely Wangsa Walk Mall, AEON Big Wangsa Maju, Setapak Central Mall, AEON Alpha Angle and Melawati Mall, besides being near education institutions and healthcare facilities.

The developer said the residential units for Sunway Avila will be offered from RM439,000 for early birds, and that the units have built-up space ranging from 732 sq ft to 1,227 sq ft, with two to four bedrooms.

The project, which will comprise 810 residential units with 30 retail shops, is targeted for completion in 2023.
