Complex Suria Kinrara

The promise not fulfilled and the long wait is dreadful. The whole project looks promising and gives hope to the buyers who have to pay progress payments and service loan interest at the same time but deprived the usage of the premises. The Court sanctioned completion date is September 2009. It is already delayed for nine months and still no sign of delivery date. Call to Talam’s office went unattended.  



The project was expected to complete by June 
2010.  June came and still no news of the handover.             

Lots of activities are still going on at the site. A chat with some of the workers revealed that the project is due for completion soon.


According to the workers on site, water and electricity supply is not connected yet. Lifts are not installed.




TNB substation is ready but no power supply.










Suria Kinrara, now known as “Complex Suria Kinrara” is a service apartment cum commercial complex. 


This type of residential cum commercial project is commonly found in Jakarta and Bangkok. Suria Kinrara is adopting that concept, albeit on a smaller scale. Those in Bangkok and Jakarta have service apartment or condominium sitting on top of a huge shopping mall. Examples are the Central World, Bangkok and Taman Anggerik, Jakarta. Our equivalents in Malaysia are the Pavilion and Plaza Damas, Desa Hartamas.

Suria Kinrara is a medium cost project in a mainly residential suburb of Puchong. It has superb accessibility and public convenience.

Public buses ply Jalan Puchong and the surrounding areas. It stops right in front of the complex. For impatient passengers, a short walk to Jalan Puchong main road for more frequent direct bus services to KL town centre
.






The project is surrounded by roads and expressways. The Kesas Expressway is just 500 meters away to the north. The old Jalan Puchong is at south corner of the building. The Sungei Besi–Puchong highway is 1.5 km away via Kinrara 2. A new link to the NPE (New Pantai Expressway), Jalan Kelang Lama and Petaling Jaya old town is under construction. For quick access to the KL-Seremban highway and LDP (Puchong-Damansara Expressway) use KESAS or Sungei Besi-Puchong Highway.




The inter-change (picture on the right) link Jalan Puchong to NPE and Petaling Jaya old town, run through Taman Sentosa in Jalan Kelang Lama.




The work on the connecting bridge over the Klang river is going at a fast pace. You can see Menara MPPJ at the far end of the picture.


Other commercial outlets including banks, supermarkets and hyper-markets are all within 1-2 km from the complex.       The bridge is almost completed.
