Home buyers packing the EcoWorld Gallery @ Eco Meadows in Simpang Ampat to secure their preferred units during the launch of Eco Bloom.

Response has been overwhelming for Eco World Development Group Bhd’s mixed residential-commercial Eco Bloom project in Simpang Ampat, Penang.

A good portion of its stylish residences has been snapped up, with many drawn to the unique concept, excellent location, attractive pricing and promise of quality.

If you have been eyeing a unit here, the StarProperty.my Fair 2016 in Queensbay Mall from Thursday to Sunday will provide a good opportunity to get one while you still can.

EcoWorld northern region general manager Khoo Teck Chong said there were people queueing overnight to secure their preferred units at the official launch last month.

With prices starting from RM388,000 before rebate, it is one of the most affordable mid-to-high end products currently on the market.

Eco Bloom’s freehold condominiums come in sizes of 800sq ft, 900sq ft and 1,100sq ft, all housed in a 33-storey tower sitting atop the commercial podium block.

These are ideal for young couples, first-time buyers or those who could not afford more pricey properties, but still want all the luxuries of life that come with it.

“Affordability is an important factor with the current market conditions. We noticed a lack of options in this range, and wanted to fill this niche.

“The great response is not only an affirmation of Eco Bloom’s appealing concept, but also the buyers’ trust in the EcoWorld brand.

“It carries an assurance of product and service quality. You know you’ll get great value whether you’re buying for investment or for your own stay,” Khoo said.

The project, located on a 1.9ha (4.86-acre) plot, is the second phase of the larger Eco Meadows development that fronts Jalan Paboi.

It follows the initial offering of Northampton Terrace homes, which are already sold out and have since become one of the most desirable addresses on the mainland.

It will have the same English neo-royalty aesthetic, along with verdant landscaping, that is an EcoWorld hallmark.

Future inhabitants will have approximately 76,000sq ft of facilities to enjoy – including a swimming pool, children’s pool, gymnasium and children’s playground.

The list continues with a barbecue area, function hall, multi-purpose court, games and study rooms, pocket gardens and open gardens.

Security is assured with a three-tier system that includes alarms on the main door and yard door, intercom system, access card for car park and lift lobby, and panic buttons in the master room and living hall.

“We noticed that many buyers are those upgrading from surrounding neighbourhoods.

“A lot also hail from the southeast of Penang island, where a similar product would be significantly more costly,” added Khoo.

The 23 shoplots located at the podium come in two sizes – typical ones measuring 22ft x 68ft, and corner units at 35ft x 68ft.

Khoo said they would have a dedicated leasing team selecting an optimum mix of tenants, which cater to residents’ lifestyle needs.

A 24,000sq ft Bloom Gardens right in front of the project provides a conducive space for al-fresco dining, as well as leisurely family activities.

The excellent location is only five minutes away from the North-South Expressway. From there, easy access to various destinations on the mainland is available, as well as the island via the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge.

Khoo said they are delighted to once again be part of the StarProperty.my Fair in Penang, and to highlight their offerings to interested parties on this side of the channel.

Besides Eco Bloom, the company would also be featuring their Eco Terraces condominium in Paya Terubong, as well as the aforementioned Eco Meadows.

Visit them at booth C1 during the four-day fair, open from 10.30am to 10.30pm daily.
