IOI Properties to launch The Pentagon at Bandar Puteri Bangi

The Star2 days ago

IOI Properties Group Bhd (IOIPG) is set to launch its next commercial phase, The Pentagon at Bandar Baru Bangi in Selangor.
Comprising 18 units of double-storey shop offices, the development features a linked semi-detached concept with expansive built-ups and high ceilings.
The project is within walking distance to the upcoming Bangi Fresco, a 4.98ha lifestyle and retail hub unveiled in March, set to be fully managed by IOIPG's leasing team. It is also a stone's throw away from the township's existing Lotus's hypermarket.
'Together with components such as Kubica Square, Enigma Square, Lotus's and Bangi Fresco, The Pentagon forms the commercial heartbeat of the township, complementing the agile built-ups of existing commercial offerings with larger lot sizes and voluminous interiors,' said IOIPG Bangi and Sepang general manager Wong Peen Fook.
'The linked concept maximises visibility while keeping the distinction of semi-D designs. The spacious layouts cater for entrepreneurs and businesses seeking expansive premises for their operations, suitable for food and beverage chains, showrooms, education centres, car workshops and more.
'In addition, it leverages Bandar Puteri Bangi's strategic location, with direct access to the North-South Highway and accessibility to the Kajang-Seremban Highway, South Klang Valley Expressway and more.
'This gives The Pentagon prime connectivity to the Kuala Lumpur city centre, Putrajaya and other surrounding destinations and points of interest, including many nearby industrial parks,' he added.
The 145.69ha Bandar Puteri Bangi township includes a balanced range of residential and commercial components, as well as ample greenery and public spaces.
Thoughtfully crafted spaces
Spanning 1.81ha, The Pentagon draws its name from the shape of the plot it shares with Kubica Square, emphasised by its geometric aesthetic elements integrated throughout its modern facade.
It offers lot sizes of 45' x 70', 50' x 70' and more, significantly larger than surrounding developments, with ceiling heights of 14' for ground floor spaces and 12' for higher storeys, to accommodate a wide range of business needs.
Gross prices for shop office units start from RM3.6mil.
'The Pentagon's ample built-ups, ranging from 5,545sq ft to 7,046sq ft, are showcased with extensive glass panels throughout its design, seamlessly blending interior and exterior spaces while maximising natural lighting.
'The larger widths of shoplot units, ranging upwards from 45' to 50', serve to enhance visibility for business owners and investors, while a 15' wide open terrace promotes walkability and flow,' said Wong.
Individual units are designed with rear roller shutter access to streamline loading and unloading operations.
Additionally, 263 car park bays cater for visitor convenience, with an average allotment of 15 car park lots per shop office unit, and four electric vehicle (EV) bays.
Leveraging surrounding pull factors
The Pentagon leverages the growing demographics of Klang Valley South, with a catchment population of more than 680,000 from surrounding areas, as well as the 145.69ha integrated township itself, with over 2,000 homes handed over to date and an estimated resident population of more than 5,000.
'The Pentagon is set to benefit from proximity to Bangi Fresco, an upcoming retail hub with planned retail facilities spanning 100,000sq ft of net lettable area,' said Wong.
'These include 24 shops and five waterfront eating outlets, al fresco dining spaces and four drive-through outlets, as well as a 19,000sq ft grocery operator. Other features include a 10,000sq ft event space as well as a gym, positioning Bangi Fresco as a one-stop lifestyle destination for the community.
'In addition, the presence of numerous academic institutes nearby, such as Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Nilai University and primary and secondary schools, has contributed to strong demographics for the township in terms of families, students and supporting workers, building a ready catchment population for businesses,' he added.
According to IOIPG, The Pentagon draws its name from the shape of the plot it shares with Kubica Square, emphasised by its geometric aesthetic elements integrated throughout its modern facade.
To date, Bandar Puteri Bangi features a balanced range of residential and commercial components, from luxurious landed and high-rise homes—such as Arawani and Caladia—to existing three- and four-storey shop offices, like Enigma Square.
On top of that, ample greenery and public areas across the township offer social spaces for people to come together close to nature.
These include the Oasis Park, a serene waterfront landscape home to over 90 known flora and fauna species, as well as the Geopark, a green sanctuary with a jogging trail and football field.
'Moving forward, we have exciting launches in store for Bandar Puteri Bangi in the coming months, designed to expand its vibrant array of property offerings.
'These include a planned lakeside precinct with landed homes and its own integrated commercial hub,' Wong concluded.
