THE HAVEN offers much more than a home.
It is a sanctuary — a modern condominium project boasting five-star services and amenities spread across 9.63ha in Tambun, Ipoh.
The RM230mil scheme comprises three blocks of 26-storey condominiums with the limestone hills of Kinta Valley as its backdrop and a 1.6ha natural lake and monolithic limestone rock formations as its centrepiece.
Despite being so close to nature, The Haven is only 10 minutes from Ipoh city centre and between three and eight minutes to all major hypermarkets.
The Haven Sdn Bhd co-principal David Yam said they aimed to be among the first projects to harvest nature's renewable resources to power and maintain common areas through the use of solar panels and wind technology.
''No where else can you expect to live in such natural surroundings and at the same time, have all the trappings of luxury and the promise of security,'' he said, adding they would showcase the scheme at the Star Property Fair at G Hotel and Gurney Plaza from Friday to Sunday.
The 489-unit project's facilities include a club house with gymnasium, sauna, a cafe/restaurant, a 60m pool, spa, children's playground, car park and multi-layered security.
Yam said the scheme had received favourable response even before its official launch, with about 65% of Block A taken up while Block C was just open for sale.
He added work was progressing according to its targeted completion in 2013.
