Kuantan: The growing appeal of Kuantan as a coastal lifestyle destination is opening new opportunities for property buyers seeking a private beachfront escape, with OSK Ombak offering freehold residences overlooking Balok Beach.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, OSK Property chief executive officer Chu Wai Lune stated that Kuantan's growth, supported by the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), which is expected to be fully operational in January 2027, would reduce travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan to less than two hours, making weekend trips more convenient while potentially boosting demand for short-stay accommodation. Chu highlighted the ECRL and the continued expansion of the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park (MCKIP) and Kuantan Port as significant developments for the region. These changes are expected to enhance mobility, improve trade flows, and drive long-term growth and demand for quality developments like OSK Ombak along the coast.
OSK Property emphasized that OSK Ombak offers residents direct access to Balok Beach, integrating the coastal lifestyle into their daily routine. The company noted that Malaysia's mixed weekend setup, with some states observing Friday-Saturday weekends and others Saturday-Sunday, provides a broader travel window for planning getaways.
The development features 43 Mediterranean-inspired facilities, including cascading swimming pools, water play areas, a Ninja Park obstacle course, Beanie Lawn, pickleball court, games room, karaoke room, barbecue lounge, and gymnasium. The spacious Riviera Lawn can host corporate functions, team-building activities, and outdoor celebrations, while The Point Horizon Terrace offers another dedicated space for events and gatherings.
OSK Property reported that Phase 1 of OSK Ombak sold out within three months, prompting the company to accelerate the Phase 2 launch by 18 months due to strong market demand. The final release of Phase 2 is currently open for sale, with prices starting from RM380,000, subject to terms and conditions.
The development comprises fully furnished homes ranging from 450 sq ft to 1,026 sq ft, with one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. All units, except the 450-square-foot studio, feature dual-key configurations. Selected units come with balconies equipped with a jacuzzi, enhancing the coastal living experience.
OSK Ombak also includes nine retail units, with plans for convenience stores and food and beverage outlets to serve residents and visitors. For owners who are away from the property, the development provides access to third-party professional short-stay management services.
Interested buyers can visit the OSK Ombak sales gallery in Kuantan or the sales kiosk at Atria Shopping Gallery in Petaling Jaya. Additionally, they can register their interest through oskombak.com or contact the sales team at 011-2802 8000.
