What to expect of an integrated development? This question brings out some of the fundamental views of the public.

Integrated developments have become a trend nowadays in the property sector, as many opt to choose to live in such places. The key to this development concept is convenience of having many of one's needs available under the same roof. In a random street poll, Malaysians and an expatriate offer their views on what they like about mixed integrated projects.

Lifestyle, Community & Security

Integrated development is a lifestyle that encourages the residents to bond with each other as well as spend quality time involved in useful activities. Reliable security features are one of the important aspects of such developments, together with the facilities and amenities that are at the doorstep. Instant access to shopping mall is something that I would love, and having such facilities makes living more convenient.

Ambience, Convenience & Effortlessness

Things have improved greatly now as it was necessary to drive far for most things previously.The development of mixed projects provides ample amenities. This saves us time and effort to travel, since everything we need will be located within a stone's throw away. It also enhances community living as you must learn to live with hundreds of neighbours.

The prime accomplishment of an integrated development is the clever and efficient use of space. This further enhances an urban area by making it the centre of attraction. As an expat living in Malaysia, I enjoy the vitality such development offers, especially the facilities and amenities provided to ease the life of residents.

Live, Work & Play

‘Convenience’ is the perfect term to explain how an integrated development works. Some of the mixed projects developed recently embrace the concept of live, work and play. This reduces the necessity to travel and help to curb traffic congestion. It’s the kind of development that the younger generation prefers.

Integrated development provides a simple and hassle-free modern lifestyle, where some adopt an eco-friendly concept. The atmosphere is suitable for all walks of life, and provides the best environment to live. Many integrated development nowadays are focused more on offering good public transportation, as their main selling point is being located next to LRT, MRT or KTM stations.
