Big response to I-Berhad’s Liberty Tower

I-BERHAD, master developer of the 29.2ha i-City, here, received overwhelming response to its Liberty Tower@i-City project, with 80 per cent of the units taken up during a special sales preview over the weekend.

Its director Monica Ong said the project’s location, affordability and style attracted a crowd of more than 1,000 to the i-Gallery@i-City, where the preview was held.

“We received overwhelming response to the Liberty Tower project. The queue started from 4am.

“Just from the attendance and response, I think it would be sold out,” she told Business Times on the sidelines of the sales preview, here, on Saturday.

Seventy per cent of the New York-themed project had been booked at a recent property fair.
Designed to appeal to young urban individuals, Ong said each unit, with built-up areas of 466 sq ft to 769 sq ft, will be fully furnished.

Priced from RM360,000 each, the Liberty Tower@i-City was poised to revolutionise living and shopping in Shah Alam, she added.

Ong said the encouraging response to the project was due to its proximity to the 1.5 million sq ft CentralPlaza@i-City retail mall, a joint development with Thailand’s Central Pattana Pcl.

“Liberty Tower@i-City residents will get direct access, via a dedicated pedestrian walk, to the CentralPlaza@i-City’s retail, dining and entertainment outlets,” she said.

Ong said the proposed light rail transit (LRT) Line 3 through i-City and the construction of a station nearby had made the property more attractive.

This is in addition to the project’s connectivity to the Federal Highway via a direct flyover into i-City, North Klang Expressway, Guthrie Corridor Expressway and the proposed West Coast Highway.

Liberty Tower@i-City, which is slated for completion in 2018, is an integrated, self-sustaining ultrapolis comprising real estate, leisure, business and education facilities.

“We are proud that Liberty Tower@i-City has directly enabled us to complement the youth housing scheme mooted by the government in the 2015 Budget.

“A major portion of our purchasers are aged 40 and below,” she added.
