There are four typical layouts available at MET 1 with built-up areas ranging from 677 sq ft to 1,613 sq ft. Each unit features a floor plan that resembles either a semi-detached or a bungalow layout, depending on the built-up area, to offer comfortable space and innovative design.
“We look forward the delivery of MET 1 Residences by this year and reaffirm our commitment to accelerate the development pace for KL Metropolis, which is expected to be the next most sought-after address for the new generation with its modern, inclusive and sustainable ecosystem. We have reached the final floor of MET 1 Residences that is Level 55 even after the 2 years of the pandemic. Our near completion during those difficult times only shows that Naza TTDI is committed to the project and proceed to its full completion,” CEO of NAZA TTDI, Daniel Lim said.
Nestled in the middle of city, KL Metropolis is set to be a micro city within Kuala Lumpur accessible via four major highways – Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE), North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), SPRINT Highway and North-South Expressway. The new epic-centre in Kuala Lumpur has all the right ingredients for trade, commerce and retail.
Home to the largest urban park in the Mont Kiara area, its KL Metropolis Park will potentially be the recreation and activity hub for KL’s premier international community. Fully landscaped and populated with 1,092 of trees under the urban reforestation, it is also a multi-feature park with a myriad of activities for visitors of all ages.
All amenities and facilities are planned to be reachable on foot via elevated pedestrian walkways, while the streets will have pedestrian and cyclist-friendly features such as shaded canopies and bike racks.
The development of this mega project is in line with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11), one of 17 goals that make up the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, provides targets and guidance for urban planning to support cities with growing populations. SDG 11 aims to renew and plan cities and other human settlements in a way that offers opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and green public spaces, while reducing resource use and environmental impact.
“The project also embraces NAZA Group’s efforts in advocating the Environment, Social and Governance (‘ESG’) philosophy in our businesses. The ESG approach requires a deep commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility and good governance and an aspiration to be a leader in the industry and beyond. It is all about sustainability where facilities must be environmentally-friendly, ensuring the wellbeing of the local communities while addressing the design needs arising from the pandemic,” Daniel Lim stressed.
