PROPCAFE™ Review : Eco Ardence @ Setia Alam By EcoWorld

Eco Ardence Setia Alam by EcoWorld

(Updated 14 September 2016. We add in more pictures, snippets of the sales gallery and the new one along Persiaran Setia Alam, details of the 4 all new proposed accesses. We foresee Eco Ardence will be one of the hottest landed launch in 2016, we will update this post frequently to put more information as and when required, so stay tuned!)

Eco Ardence is an integrated mixed-use development project that comprises of 534acres freehold land located in Setia Alam with gross development value (GDV) of approximately RM8.58bil, the project is expected to be fully developed  in 8 to 10 years.

What have they planned for the 534 acres?

267 acres or approximately 50% of the Eco Ardence Setia Alam development will be planned for residential purpose, while the balance are allocated for commercials and other mixed-use. It’s overall master plan is still in the final planing stage and may change over time. Our post coverage will focus on the upcoming maiden residential launches at Eco Ardence, Aeres phase at Eco Ardence Setia Alam

Definition of Eco Ardence

Eco Ardence Setia Alam is the cradle of passion, a place infused with vibrant energy and alive with activities. This is where the creation of art, the expression of culture and the innovation of commerce converge, inspiring a sense of pride and belonging in the community. Flourishing with life and yet serene in spirit, it is a redefinition of an enclave, the re-imagination of Shah Alam.

Cannot understand the jargons. Let’s us simplify Eco Ardence and put them into layman’s term.

This is a project of EcoWorld. The people behind EcoWorld is Tan Sri Liew, who started Setia Alam, so this project Eco Ardence will be much much better than all other projects Setia Alam with breathtaking new concepts!

Ok undertstand now?

Eco Ardence is a township development by EcoWorld. If you keen to know what is EcoWorld team is capable of, please read it here.

First the location of Eco Ardence

The version provided by the developer is very vague….PROPCAFE gives you the wikimapia version.

Eco Ardence Master Plan Overview

We understand that this was the early draft master plan which consists more commercial elements, than the latest one below, where we notice there are more residential developments instead.

Amenities and Infrastructure at Eco Ardence

Leveraging on the mature township of Setia Alam, township like Eco Ardence still get to enjoy the existing amenities of Setia Alam, they include, schools, hypermarket, shopping mall, recreational park, commercial areas, banks and vehicle services center. It is quite safe to say Setia Alam has no short of amenities.

Proposed Infrastructure & Highways

What we like about EcoWorld project is that it is always strive to value add. There will be not 1, not 2, not 3 but proposed accesses into Eco Ardence including a flyover exit. These infrastructures are integral part of the maturing and populated township as they will ease access and traffic flows during traffic peak hours. Those who are familiar with Setia Alam, likewise at Eco Ardence is accessible by major highway in Klang Valley, namely NKVE, Guthrie Highway and Kesas Highway. We understand that all these new access will be ready upon the vacant possession of Aeres phase!

Eco Ardence AERES Phase product Mix Details

Eco Ardence Aeres phase is approximately 67 acres. The density works out to be approximately 6 unit per acre, a rather low density landed development in our books.

32×75 Pavilion Home

This is very refreshing of living concepts introduced by Eco World. Instead of conventional standard and uniform 22 ft width built up with 10ft land on the side, the build it expanded into 32ft. This is like hybrid semi-detached and link home. It has some semi-d feel, as in there is an approximately 10ft land on the front part (carpark) of the house, while it is linked with neighbouring unit with ‘AV’ or multipurpose room. Eco Ardence Pavilion Home floor plan Type A & A1

The back of the pavilion homes is on a 20ft linear garden. However balcony only accessible from bedrom 3

Modern and fairly square facade likely able to stand the test of time.

We prefer the alternative layout for Pavilion Home, where a guest room on the ground floor nearer to the toilet, against the AV room setup.

Eco Ardence Aeres Phase Site Plan

Noticed that the Eco Ardence Pavilion Homes are with north and south orientation while the proper semi-d type B and type C are generally north east and south west facing.

Arghhh..I want that unit!

Semi-d Type B & Type C layout

We notice the facade for the Eco Ardence AERES Phase are almost identical, as if produced from same factory, we meant likely to be work of same architect. If you need help to differentiate, Pavillion Home typical unit no balcony, Semi-d type B located in the right end, Semi-d type C located in the ‘middle’.

We would say Eco Arden Setia Alam Aeres Type B & Type C semi-d are very conventional type, mediocre…..

Eco Ardence Maintenance Fees

Eco Ardence Setia Alam is a strata gated and guarded landed development, the monthly management fees will be expected to be RM450 per month so Pavilion Home. The monthly maintenance is estimated based size of land per sqft x RM0.20. So that larger land size semi D will attract higher monthly maintenance fees. As the club house is located within Aeres phase all residents will be able to enjoy the club house facilities.

Eco Ardence expected launch date

Eco Ardence will be ready to launch in October 2016, currently developer are collecting ‘information’ for those who are interested.

A closer look at the site plan, some units are already blocked, we were told there were meant for business associates and staffs purchase, however there are still plenty units to choose from.

About Eco Ardence

Eco Ardence Setia Alam is developed by EcoWorld and  Cascara Sdn Bhd joint-venture . While those who are familiar in property development scene knows pretty well about Eco World.

EcoWorld paid RM303.5mil for a 50% stake in Jendela Hikmat Sdn Bhd, the company with the rights to develop the land in Bukit Raja.

New Eco Ardence Show Gallery

The new show gallery is ready soon and is located along Persiaran Setia Alam, you wont be able to miss after the Setia Alam Toll at NKVE. We were told they temporary Eco Ardence show gallery at Setia Avenue will be relocated accordingly when it is ready.

Eco Ardence Show Village

If you are anticipating for Eco Sanctuary Kota Kemuning type of show village, we were told it is unlikely EcoWorld will build the similar kind of show village, as they there will be healthy take up of Aeres phase, therefore show village will only come later in future phase.

But fret not, PROPCAFE has covered Eco Sanctuary Kota Kemuning show village extensively, do check out our post, if you want have a feel of EcoWorld township development works.
