Residensi Meru Jati

This is a high-rise apartment scheme, and the two things that shape it are the address and the density.

**Bandar Meru Raya is the Perak state administrative hub.** The Jabatan Audit Negara, Arkib Negara Malaysia, Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Perak, the Perak police headquarters, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak, Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara, Jabatan Imigresen and the Perak Techno Trade Centre are all in the immediate area. That is an unusual thing to build next to: it puts a large, stable, salaried working population within a few minutes of the front door, which is the sort of tenant and buyer base that does not depend on a single employer.

**The layout is genuinely dense.** Four blocks are planned — A, B, C and D, all 23 storeys — released in two phases: Phase 1A covers Blocks B and C, Phase 1B covers Blocks A and D. Each block holds 542 units, with 14 units on the ground floor and 24 on each of the 1st to 22nd floors, served by three lifts per floor. Read that number honestly before you decide: 24 doors on a corridor is a busy floor, and three lifts is the mitigation.

The scheme is gated and guarded with **two tiers of security** — a guard house at the perimeter and a second controlled point at the apartment entrance.

Residensi Meru Jati sits at **Bandar Meru Raya**, north of Ipoh city centre, close to **Jelapang** and reached via **Jalan Chemor** with the **North-South Expressway** a short run away.

**Daily needs** are close: **Mydin Mall Meru** and **Econsave Jelapang** are the nearest, with **AEON Kinta City**, **AEON Mall Klebang**, **Ipoh Parade** and **Lotus’s Ipoh Garden** all within the wider radius.

**Transport:** **Terminal Meru Raya** is the northern intercity bus terminal for Ipoh, and **Ipoh KTM Railway Station** connects to the ETS line running to Kuala Lumpur and Butterworth.

**Healthcare:** **Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun** is the state general hospital, with **Hospital Fatimah** and **Hospital Pantai** as the private options.

**Education** is unusually well covered: **SMK Jati** and **SK Meru Raya** for national schooling, **Yuk Choy High School**, **Tenby International School**, **Kolej Poly-Tech MARA Ipoh** and **Politeknik Ungku Omar** for secondary and tertiary.

**For weekends:** **Meru Valley Golf Club & Resort** is the closest, with **Gunung Lang Recreational Park**, **Kledang Saiong Forest Eco Park**, **Perak Cave Temple**, **Kinta River Walk** and **Sunway Lost World of Tambun** spread across the Ipoh side.

Residensi Meru Jati is developed by **Setia Awan**, a Malaysian developer with more than two decades in the industry, operating across property development, hotels and resorts, property management and plantation. The development entity for this project is Maju Teluk Batik Sdn Bhd.

On a high-rise released block by block, the thing to check is not the brand but the sequence. Ask which block is at which construction stage, ask when the earlier blocks are scheduled for vacant possession, and read the delivery clause in the sale and purchase agreement rather than the launch material. The title here is a commercial title held under the Housing Development Act, which is the normal arrangement for this product type but worth confirming with your lawyer.

**Is Residensi Meru Jati freehold or leasehold?** Freehold. The land title is a commercial title held under the Housing Development Act, which is standard for this product type.

**Is Residensi Meru Jati the same as Residensi Jati De Meru?** Yes. The developer markets it as Residensi Jati De Meru; the project documentation records it as Residensi Meru Jati. Both refer to the same development at Bandar Meru Raya, Ipoh.

**How many units and how many floors?** The current phase delivers 1,084 units across two 23-storey blocks, 542 units per block. Floors run from ground to the 22nd, with 14 units on the ground floor and 24 units on each upper floor, served by three lifts.

**What unit types are available?** Four: Type A at 514 sq ft with 1 bedroom, Type B at 650 sq ft with 2 bedrooms, Type C at 821 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and a balcony, and Type D at 899 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and a balcony. All four floor plans are on this page.

**How many car parks come with a unit?** One bay per unit with a car sticker, drawn from 2,759 bays across two podiums. Additional or overnight parking is by request to management.

**When will Residensi Meru Jati be completed?** The developer states completion as four years from the date the advertising permit is obtained, rather than a fixed calendar date. Ask the sales gallery for the current construction stage per block and get the handover date written into the sale and purchase agreement.

**Is it gated and guarded?** Yes, with two tiers — a guard house at the perimeter and a second controlled point at the apartment entrance.

**Who is the developer?** Setia Awan, through Maju Teluk Batik Sdn Bhd.
