IRB/LHDN New Building at Cyberjaya!

If you having difficulty generating your PIN number, looking for more detailed information about e-filing or you want to submit manually the income tax form, you may go to the new IRB building at Cyberjaya which is only a few kilometers from Nusaputra. This is a new place, and lots of people are not aware of it. Very convenient and I reckon this is the advantage that we should have because we're staying within a Cyber basin radius. http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?sec=central&file=/2012/3/5/central/10845499 Cyberjaya welcomed its newest modern building when Menara Hasil, the Inland Revenue Board’s (IRB) new headquarters, was officially opened on Thursday.

The RM275mil 20-story building was declared opened by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Menara Hasil sits on a 7.17ha-land in Persiaran Rimba Permai in Cyber 8. Work on the building started in April 2009 and it was completed late last year.

The building was built on the “passive low energy building” (PLEB) concept especially its lighting, air-conditioning, and mechanical ventilation system to reduce energy consumption.

Sunshading hoods and louvers are used to achieve a lower overall thermal transmittance value (OTTV), which is among the keys to reducing energy consumption as the components function as heat filters.

The building was also built according to the bioclimatic low-energy design (BLED) concept that took into consideration development in the surrounding areas, the weather and the sun’s orientation.

The sun shading devices are placed at areas that are exposed to sunshine.

Among the facilities in the building are a theatre-style conference hall with a seating capacity of 1,500 people and six meeting rooms with the main one capable of accommodating 150 people. This meeting room also comes with a dining hall.

For the public, a total of 1,682 parking bays have been prepared.

IRB chief executive officer Datuk Dr Shukor Mahfar said some 1,400 personnel from 19 divisions would be engaged at the new building.

He said they were those from the board’s previous headquarters at Blok 9 of the Government Complex in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.

“They started moving into Menara Hasil in stages since last November. Now we are operating fully from here,” he said.

Precinct 3 - Reflexion Pool Villas Ready for Sale!

Update status 19 March 2012: only 2 units left! http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2239567/all to read more feedback from the buyers! I still don't have much information about Precinct 3.

Nevertheless, this is quick info about the project:

• Selling price : Min RM1,298,000 Max RM2,904,000
• 28 premier 2 1/2 sty superlink villas
• 28 pools
• Double volume living hall with full height glass wall
• Modern linear park at your doorstep<-- this is impressive!
• Pool deck and lounge
• Gated and guarded
• 4,250 sq ft built up
• 4 parking bays
• Super connectivity with brand new interchange to MEX and ELITE
• Estimated starting price at RM1.25m (to confirm later)
• Expected date completion: February 2014

And my conclusion is as follows:

1. Modern design & very fresh looking
2. Private pool for each house- extremely unique features that you couldn't find elsewhere
3. The architectural elements i.e. glass, aluminum louvers & facade blend beautifully and give a good shape to the house
4. Most importantly, it doesn't look like a shop lot
5. Looks elegance, no other word can describe it better than this
6. ... and come with double volume height! It's very rare to find a link house with this feature. Sense of welcome?? Definitely yes!

Despite all the features, I'm still in my opinion the location of Nusaputra is very excellent! This still remains as the strongest selling point for Nusaputra.
