  "account": "Kuantan is gaining attention due to the overwhelming response to OSK Ombak, a seaside development offering a resort-like living experience. Located on a 2.42ha freehold site, the project comprises 1,274 residences, nine retail units, and three serviced apartment towers. OSK Ombak offers direct access to Balok Beach and brings the convenience of a holiday home within reach.\n\nThe development, situated on an established beachfront precinct, aims to provide the freedom to return to the coast as needed. With fully furnished residences available in sizes ranging from 450 to 1,026 sq ft, the concept appeals to those looking to escape city routines. Selected units feature balconies with Jacuzzis overlooking the sea, and amenities include a Mediterranean-inspired resort concept, recreational facilities, and retail spaces.\n\nPhase 2 of OSK Ombak is now open for sale, with buyers able to visit the sales gallery in Kuantan or contact the sales kiosk in Petaling Jaya. The development is designed to cater to both personal use and flexible short-stay rentals, with facilities such as Aegean's Fall cascading pools, the Blue Cove adventure cavern, water play areas, and a gymnasium, among others. The project's green certifications, energy-efficient systems, and environmentally responsible materials further enhance its appeal.",
