UPMARKET Ledang Heights is one of the better-known residential projects in Nusajaya.

The 146ha gated site comes with its own central park, kindergarten and fruit orchards.

It boasts 571 freehold bungalows and villas, which have proved so popular with foreigners that all the bungalow lots allocated for international buyers have been snapped up.

Prices have shot up to RM39 psf from RM27 (S$12) per sq ft a year ago.

But interested home buyers still have something to look forward to. A similar project, Ledang Heights East, is coming up right next door. Tentatively scheduled for launch in October, it will have a mix of landed homes.

While this means it will be slightly more densely built, the project will still be a high-end one, says developer Bandar Nusajaya. It will boast a ‘forest resort home concept’, with rainforests as part of the landscape. Of the 871 homes in the development, 70 per cent will be available for sale to international buyers.

One of the choices are terrace homes on 1,875 sq ft plots with built-up areas of about 2,600 sq ft. These start at RM500,000. Semi-detached houses are also available. They have land sizes of 3,200 sq ft and built-up areas of slightly more than 3,000 sq ft, and cost from RM800,000.

Buyers can also pick bungalows, which sit on plots of up to 10,000 sq ft and have built-up areas of 4,000 to 5,000 sq ft. These will cost about RM1 million.
