KL City Centre - One KL

At No. 1 is One KL with a tagline “94 apartments, 95 swimming pools”. It is a reasonably sized residential triangular tower with a minimalist architectural appeal.

Its interior conveys an aura of stylish simplicity with the economical use of living space through the brilliant use of split levels. The private swimming pools that go with each apartment can be somewhat severe at first glance, but we have to say are still very impressive on overall impression.

According to the SCDA website completion is due next year but latest information is that this will not actually be achieved until early 2009.

KL City Centre - The Troika

TheTroika is the stuff of dreams. A dream that was to create the city’s most beautiful and desirable condominium, right in the country’s most sought-after location. This vision required imagination and craft to be realised. And so it was decided to engage Foster and Partners to create a new residential landmark for Kuala Lumpur to complement Caesar Pelli’s Petronas Twin Towers.

Foster and Partners buildings can be distinguished not only by their drama and beauty, but also by their functionality and the ingenious use of space. Fosters’ approach can be summarised in one word - detail - born of a passion for the architecture and design. And while aesthetics are of course important, Foster and Partners are equally concerned about the social dimensions of their creations. These are to preserve the quality of life and to create places that people want to go.

The Shear walls create a building utterly unique to this site, as they shield surrounding developments and orientate occupants so that the best view can be enjoyed. For the Troika, early plans incorporated three tower of varying height emerging from ‘The Necklace’ - a circular podium of complementary office and retail space. The Necklace frames a landscaped courtyard of 30,000 sq.ft. to provide a calm retreat exclusively for residents.

The architects’ priorities were to create beautiful and functional homes, with each one able t take in the beauty of the location, such as the KLCC Park, The Petronas Twin Towers and the KL city skyline. To guarantee the best views possible for each apartment, Foster and Partners introduced the concept of a twisting building-essentially allowing individual floor plans to rotate as the building rise to enjoy KL’s most stunning views. With this objective, Foster and Partners pinned the three towers around dramatic shear walls, giving the development a strong linear character, while also framing views and providing critical shade to individual apartments.

The 2.13-acre project will be a mixed development comprising residential and commercial including 3 residential towers, small office home office (SOHO), boutique offices, retail and restaurants. In total, there will be 172 residential units, with standard units ranging from 2,142 – 3,336 sq ft and penthouses from 5,441 sq ft. A a notable feature of The Troika will be the 28th floor, referred to as the sky-bridge level, which will have an infinity pool and common recreation lounge that will epitomise the "lifestyle in the sky” that The Troika promises to offer. The development will also feature 80,000sq ft of commercial space that will be divided into 57 units, each between 959sq ft and 1,826sq ft in size. They will be used to accommodate Single Operator Home Office (SOH0) units, boutique offices, retail outlets and restaurants.
The whole development is expected to be completed in 2009.

KL City Centre - K Residence

The K Residence luxury condominium is linked to the luxury retail centre, Avenue K. They form part of a total development located along Jalan Ampang directly opposite the Petronas Twin Towers. Owners of K Residence units will enjoy remarkable privileges living in the very pulse of the city. With direct access to the Light Rail Transit (LRT) station, they will also benefit from unparalleled connectivity to KL Central, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and various shopping, leisure and entertainment areas throughout the city.

Avenue K is an 8-level fashion and lifestyle centre which opened its doors a year ago. This stylish new retail complex provides a unique shopping and lifestyle experience, numerous restaurants, cafes, art museum, children's centre, roof garden and award winning spa, and many other services and amenities for one stop convenience.

K Residence consists of 180 units of condominiums in a 50-level tower block with its own access lobby and elevators for the exclusive use of its residents. The units offer 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, triplex and duplex penthouses. Areas range from 1,400 - 10,000 sq ft. Construction started in July 2005 with a scheduled date for completion in December 2007 - early 2008.

KL City Centre - The Meritz

The Meritz, located within the heart of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, is the ultimate urban residence created for those who appreciate the finer things in life. All of the 110 units within this 31-storey glass-encased tower offer a panoramic view of the city's enthralling skyline, which further enhances its spacious and chic feel.

Situated next to the Putra LRT KLCC station with easy access to major expressways, this luxurious development makes travelling to all parts of the city easy. It is within 3-minute walking distance to Petronas Twin Tower and the Suria KLCC shopping centre. Bintang Walk and Royal Selangor Golf Club area are just a stone's throw away.

Spending a day at home will be a pleasure with the facilities available at The Meritz. These include a 25-metre lap swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gymnasium and barbeque area. There is also an indoor children's playroom and an external playground to keep the young and playful entertained at all times.

KL City Centre - The Avare

The Avare is in some ways the most stylish and streamlined construction of all 10, with its design inspired by a butterfly on the wing. The architect is David John Clarke. Like Marc Service Residence the site (just over an acre) allows an attractive planting of trees around it.

Occupiers of the Avare will enjoy panoramic views of the Petronas Towers and the Royal Selangor Golf Club and the KLCC Park is also close by.

There are two large apartments to each level, each with four bedrooms, all or which will enjoy en suite bathrooms. Looking at the lay-out the only defect would seem to be rather a lot of corridor with no natural light. The website gives the impression that all the units are standard but there seems to be substantial variation in price from 3.8m ringgits to 10m (New Straits Times 12th April 2007). Does this mean that those purchasing on levels 16, 40 and 41 buy an entire floor?
Now only 5 units left and the price are RM4M and above. Same size of 3800sf each with 3 car parks provided.

USP – Unique Selling Proposition
-Strategically located in a sought after residential address.
-View – 360° panoramic view of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and the Royal Selangor Golf Club.
-Exclusivity & privacy - Only 2 units per floor.

KL City Centre - Park Seven

Park Seven is not quite high rise, being a seven tower development with each reaching to 20 storeys. The site is only 1.6 acres so these blocks will be quite close together. The design is clean and simple and aims to give 270 degree views to most residents. Those on the Persiaran side of the development will have views of KLCC Park and the Petronas towers.

There is only one unit per floor per building so the layout ensures plenty of privacy. The interior design looks clean and impressive. The variety of choice in layout and size is noticeable.

With spacious layouts and only one unit per floor, Park Seven is truly a “Bungalow in the sky”.

KL City Centre - Idaman Residence

Idaman Residence is another large-ish but the size of individual units is considerably less than any of the other developments. This may work to its advantage in that it is very central but appealing to a different market from developments with larger units, who it is reasonable to expect, will be fierce competition with one another. The development is targeted at professionals between the ages of 24 and 45. along with the other nine developments it shares the easy access to work and facilities in KLCC.

Idaman has been planned to be environmentally friendly with natural ventilation in common parts and even natural ventilation features in the units themselves (though one supposes air conditioning is available also.)

Above the car parking levels there are four garden units (including larger balconies) and the penthouses on the top level include roof gardens.

Some more descriptions from the developers :

Prestigous Inner City Living

Idaman Residence brings premier resort living where water and landscaped gardens sit at your doorstep, coupled with a range of condominium amenities that are second to none.

While providing resort living city, Idaman Residence also enables its residents to feel the pulse and rhythm of the city just outside its enclave, it’s a stone’s throw away from upscale shopping, fine dining, cafes, entertainment, and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. It’s made for those who belong to the city.

At Work Of Art
In a word Award-winning, Idaman Residence stands at 34-storey tall and cuts a distinctive profile against the Kuala Lumpur skyline. Cool steel, aluminum and glass will be reinterpreted and creatively expressed in warm residential forms. Desirable attributes of this creativity give rise to advantages including good air circulation and sunshine through innovative architecture as well as by reviving traditional building features and interior layouts that are free of clutter while emphasizing simplicity and sleek modernistic beauty.

Safe, Source And Smart
That summarizes the security system at Idaman Residence. Of course no condominium security system can be complete without an Entrance Guard Sentry or 24-hour security and surveillance but here, security takes on a higher level of sophistication.

Both entries into the lift lobbies, as well as the activation of lifts to the desired floor is accessed Swipe Card System. Closed circuit cameras are also strategically positioned to ensure complete surveillance of public areas both inside and outside the main building. All units are equipped with Panic Buttons in addition to Intercom to the Guard Sentry to ensure quick response from the guards during any emergency.

Living The Good Life
Every single amenity you could wish for, and a few more that you may not have thought of…

Such as the landscaping with its magical water feature. Or the Grand Lobby (fit for a 6-star hotel) and Waiting Lounge. Or even something as mundane as the Drive’s Waiting Room (but which is so thoughtful if you wish for your driver to be well rested).

The Layout
Idaman Residence towers over the Golden Triangle with 34 levels built on valuable 1.45 acres of prime freehold land. Designed to maximize space, each floor houses 9 units of apartments with ingenious layouts that enhance privacy. The feeling of the spaciousness
Is unmistakable as soon as one steps into the main building where a grand drop off 30 feet greets your entry.

A modern contemporary theme that is reflected in the interior layouts and design further lends the promise of great flexibility and creativity for the proud homemaker who wish to give his or her new acquisition the best styling treatment possible. Suffice to say, a long list of high quality items come as standard with your new home at The Idaman residence.

In the kitchens for example, you will find tastefully designed cabinets complete with the electrical appliances, as well as. The materials and quality are of course the second to none.

KL City Centre - Marc Service Residence

KLCC Neighbourhood Marc Luxury Service Residence

The Marc Service Residence has a two-acre site for its two towers and is by some margin the largest of the 10 developments. The artist’s model shows an attractive planting of trees around the first tower, presumably the slightly larger site allows for this feature. The design is fairly conventional but nevertheless elegant with a roof garden appearance(with pool) to the top of the more extensive lower floors. At street level the building features an impressive columned portico.

Although apartments have been sold individually, the developers also have plans to make part of it into serviced apartments (as the name suggests), if not an apartment hotel, so housekeeping services will be available. Given the attractiveness of the scheme, its size and the fact that completion was due this month, it is slightly surprising that Beverly Tower Development have not made more information available in terms of floor plans and ‘e-representations’ of the interiors. However, the fact that gas piping will all be made of copper suggests quality build.

The 2 magnificent 35-storey towers comprise of well-designed and 4-bedroom apartments from 636 sq.ft. to 3,302 sq.ft. At the top are 2 astounding duplex penthouses with panoramic views, modern recreational facilities, glassfronted contilevered Jacuzzi, infinity-edged pool & high spec gym. The interiors embody simplicity & modern sophistication. Each living space is lavished with large expanses of glass that offer you spectacular views of the world beyond.

Amenities include: business centre, cafeteria, club house, covered parking, gymnasium, jogging track, playground, sauna, squash court, swimming pool, wading pool and tennis court.
