While Malaysians are still bracing themselves for the negative impact on the local economy, property investment may not be a priority for some. However, Bandar Rimbayu by IJM Land saw overwhelming responses with their Starling residential development, where Parcel 1 was sold out in one day, and Parcel 2 was completely booked in half a day. Now they are set to launch Parcel 3.
Starling Parcel 3 is the third parcel of the 56.68-acre residential development that comprises 680 home units with an array of green areas, facilities and common area with a GDV of RM500 million. Two new types of home units with larger built-ups, which are Type C and Type D double-storey link homes, will be available in this phase.
A total of 103 units will be available for Type C with a land area of 20’ x 60' and a built-up of 1,694 sf, housing 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms. Type D, on the other hand, would have the same land size of 20' x 60' but a larger built-up size of 1,769 sf with 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms, Type D will have a total of 121 units.
“We expected Starling to be well received, but to be greeted with such overwhelming positive response from homebuyers surprised us considering the recent situation, but we certainly have done everything we can to help them embrace upcoming challenges, including prioritizing product innovation, devising strategic campaigns and ultimately understanding what homebuyers truly need right now,” said Mr. Chai Kian Soon, Senior General Manager of Bandar Rimbayu.
1. Great Value for Money
The Starling Parcel 3 home units are priced from RM698,800 onwards, are designed to cater to first-time homebuyers, especially those who are keen to start a family. The availability of various unit sizes makes Starling a perfect choice for growing families.
Furthermore, at such an enticing price point, homebuyers of Bandar Rimbayu can have their very own spacious landed home for the price of a city condominium.
In terms of design, Starling is decorated with lush landscape, a pulling factor for residents who are nature lovers and those who adore a serene and peaceful environment. The central park is an ideal place that calls for quality family-bonding moments, while a 2km jogging track is located in a serene and secured area for a carefree workout or stroll.
2. Designed to be a Forever Home

Inspired by the shape of a starling’s blue egg, the interior designs of Starling have incorporated multiple forms, colours and shape composition. The shade of blue is chosen as the development’s primary colour, added in tandem with other colours such as brown soil, green leaves and pink flowers to recreate a pleasant garden-like environment.
Starling will be introducing their latest show unit for Type D houses with the launch of Parcel 3, with interior design inspired by Floret, a concept aimed at creating a joyful and calming environment for the well-being of the mind and soul of homebuyers. This show unit is also designed as a display model for future Starling homeowners who want a trouble-free renovation and room optimisation for their new home.
3. Trendy and Digitalised
The recent challenges faced by many include the need for extra caution and social distancing since COVID-19 remains a threat. Seeing an opportunity in this crisis, Bandar Rimbayu took the opportunity not only to fulfil strict safety criteria but also to make their home-buying operation much more advanced and convenient for their audience. As such, they have deployed a more efficient and effective sales process while exponentially increasing sales.
Some of the steps taken to digitise the process include undertaking virtual consultancy and interaction activities such as bringing customers through virtual 3D walkthroughs of the project development and units, while also providing them with the digital masterplan as a guide. Bandar Rimbayu had also conducted their first live balloting session for unit selection during the launch of Parcel 1 & 2.
4. Understanding Homebuyers
Understanding the target audience is the key to success, and this has led to Starling's success. Bandar Rimbayu has incorporated advantages and features in their developments that would be of interest to contemporary homebuyers.
One example is the high-speed broadband infrastructure which makes it convenient for homebuyers to accommodate more stay-at-home practices immediately during this period, or in the future. In addition, Starling's well-considered concept has provided additional rooms that give homebuyers versatility in adapting and transforming them based on their uses and needs. Type D homes come with extra security features such as a security door.
Knowing that current homebuyers prioritise a quality lifestyle, all new homebuyers are entitled to a 12-month free 2-person membership at The Club @ Rimbayu which features a variety of facilities including its impressive Olympic size pool.
IJM Land also acknowledges that, in the current climate, buying a home may not be the first thing on everyone's agenda. But they have launched a versatile ownership campaign named 'Now You Can' which will run until 31st October 2020 in their effort to help homebuyers own a home of their dreams with ease. Through this initiative, tailor-made plans and strategies are created to meet individual needs.
Not only that, for a limited time only, homebuyers can also participate in a lucky draw contest in conjunction with the launch of Starling's Parcel 3, and stand a chance to win 8 Proton X70.
