Shah Alam: I-Bhd launched a special preview of its i-Suite II residential-cum-commercial development over the weekend.
Designed as a functional home office, the 43-storey i-Suite II tower, comprising 328 units, sits on a 12-acre (4.8ha) plot on the western portion of i-City.
Sharing a common podium, the tower is part of i-City’s lifestyle project comprising 956 i-Soho units launched in 2013 (80% sold); 498 i-Suite units unveiled in end-December 2013 (60% sold); i-Suite III to be unveiled by the fourth quarter of 2014, and 6,500 car parking bays that will be retained by i-City.
While i-Soho was designed as trendy home offices, i-Suite focuses on providing a hotel-type environment for end-users.
Available in various plan types, the i-Suite comes with an ultra modern design that integrates apartment units into a resort-like ambience with recreational facilities.
Designed with both an overhead pedestrian bridge as well as a tunnel link to the CentralPlaza @i-City retail mall (to come on stream in 2017) on one end and another link to i-City’s 25-acre Leisure Park on the other end, it is envisaged that the residential-cum-commercial development will provide a conducive campus-like environment.
In addition to both i-Soho and i-Suite, i-City has a gargantuan development project in the form of an iconic 70-storey staggered tower for mixed use in the pipeline.
Called the Jewel, this tower will be launched in 2016. The soon-to-be tallest building in Shah Alam will consist of a luxury hotel, residential units, A-grade offices and retail units on the lower floors.
The i-Suite II is now open for sale while the Jewel is open for registration of interest.
