PUCHONG: Property developer Perfect Eagle Development Sdn Bhd launched on Monday the first two blocks of O2 Residence serviced apartments.

O2 Residence is the first phase of the developer’s 64-acre (25.9ha) mixed development 02 City development in Puchong South. To be developed in eight phases over eight to 10 years, O2 City has a gross development value (GDV) of RM2 billion and comprises serviced residences, boutique offices, retail units and a hotel.

O2 Residence consists of six 11- to 16-storey blocks housing 508 units on 13.54 acres of leasehold land with a GDV of RM450 million. The unit built-ups range between 1,000 and 2,600 sq ft while prices are from RM500,000 to RM1.06 million or RM440 to RM550 psf.

The developer is hoping to achieve multiple green rating certifications for O2 Residence such as the BCA Green Mark (Singapore) and the Green Building Index Malaysia.

“The organic layout of the tower structures along with its spaciousness will allow better natural lighting and ventilation, resulting in lower energy utilisation within the common areas as well as individual units,” said Su.
