Eco Sky enjoys over 70% take-up since November 2013 launch

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 21): Eco Sky, an integrated commercial development by EcoWorld Development Bhd, has achieved over 70% sales for three towers since its launch in November 2013.

Eco Sky will come up on a 9.6-acre freehold tract in Taman Wahyu, Jalan Ipoh in Kuala Lumpur and has a gross development value (GDV) of RM974 million.

The integrated development comprises three residential towers with a total of 975 units, 35 retail units and office blocks consisting 140 units and a commercial pod.

The residential towers, named Aurora, Basalta and Clarita are 39, 39 and 41 storeys high, offer units with built-ups ranging from 861 sq ft to 1,905 sq ft. The selling price starts from RM572,000.

There will be three facilities floors, offering open-air activities such as a 50m lap pool and wading pool, The Pavilion garden lounge, and The Peak penthouse club.

The development also has an allocated 2.72 acres of green reserve area turned into a park, called Laman @ Eco Sky, which was launched yesterday.

“The opening of Laman @ Eco Sky has also enhanced the value of the area as a whole and EcoWorld remains committed to ensuring the wellbeing of the community in this area. This includes building a new covered walkway to connect Eco Sky to the Taman Wahyu KTM Station,” said EcoWorld president and CEO, Datuk Chang Khim Wah (pictured) after the launch and handover of Laman @ Eco Sky to Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) yesterday.

Laman @ Eco Sky was officiated by the federal territories minister, Datuk Seri Utama Tengku Adnan.

“We value the public-private sector partnerships in making Kuala Lumpur a greener city. The need to preserve our environment is everyone’s responsibility. On that note, I would like to congratulate EcoWorld for their hard work and effort in making this public-private sector initiative a success,” said federal territories minister, Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

“I urge other developers to follow the footsteps of  Eco World to develop parks to upgrade the people’s quality of life. We have pockets of lands in the cities that are available for this option,” said Tengku Adnan.

In April this year, EcoWorld signed an agreement with DBKL to upgrade the three-acre green reserve, hence turning it into a park.

Under the agreement with DBKL, EcoWorld will maintain the park for the next three years, with an option to extend the contract for another two years.

The park’s maintenance cost of about RM80,000 per annum will be borne by EcoWorld, said Chang.
