KUALA LUMPUR LIST OF UNDER-CONSTRUCTION | General Thread

[Kevinkhoo1986]

Honestly, i think the selangor goverment are building too many low cost flat around PJ,subang and klang. That is fine for me if the building is nice,beautiful and well-maintained. Unfortunately, all the low-cost condo are so terrible and ugly!!! Its just spoil the skyline eventhough it is tall. Citing the example in Klang(bukit raja), the low cost flat are in terrible condition. the roof already black in colour.

the same thing is happening here in Penang. i'm sure the Klang Valley will have more of those houses as the population is more. i think low cost houses are still not sufficient. there are still many that still could not afford medium cost homes.

however, i agree that the design of these buildings are somewhat, well, borong and monotonous. i hope they could at least have some maintenence but i'm sure they got mo money

The Mt Kiara condos not all are new as some are older than 15 years. It took Sunrise Bhd a long time to built such an impressive skyline!

I seriously think you guys should be grateful that these so-called 'ugly' buildings are built as most of them is to displace the slums and squatters. I would rather see these 'monotonous and boring' buildings than slums and squatters everywhere!

One thing lah.......they should be better maintained also lah. The residents are also not civic-concious which led to the further detrioration over time. Anyway you can't expect to see Mont' Kiara type of quality and architecture for these low cost flats right?

One utama using NKVE highway? That's not mont' kiara my friend... Kiara's cluster is far more dense and the buildings higher (numerous 30-40 storey tower blocks)...

I think what u saw was the Kota Damansara-Mutiara Damansara-Damansara Perdana (lots of "Damansara" areas!) cluster... This is the new PJ suburb where IKEA, The Curve, Tesco, and Cathay Cineleisure are located...

7. D'aman Ria Kelana Jaya close to Crimson Apartments / 20+ storeys
8. 20+ storey hotel beside One Utama
9. Platinum Damansara Tower 1/ 20+ storeys
10. Platinum Damansara Tower 2/ 15+ storeys
11. Platinum Damansara Tower 3/ 20+ storeys
12. Armanee Terrace Damansara / 20+ storeys
13. Ritze Perdana Towers / 20+ storeys
14. Metropolitan Square / 20+ storeys

Thanks for the additional info baq! More updates here...
7. D'aman Ria - recently completed and should be occupied pretty soon... It seems to be the tallest one in the area, much higher than those three 20-storey condo towers in Kelana Jaya town...

8. OneUtama hotel - the pit for the basement carpark garage is already fully excavated and piling has commenced... The hotel is around 23-storeys and there is also a companion, a 20-storey office tower (should be See Hoy Chan's new corporate HQ)... Hope that an international chain will be brought in to manage the hotel (Holiday Inn?), as the only true int'l one in PJ is currently the Hilton...

9-11. Platinum Damansara - which one is this? So many buildings in that PJ North area until i'm also confused...

12. Armanee Terrace - this 20-something storey condo is unique in the sense that all units are two levels except the penthouse, which have three floors!

13-14. Ritze Perdana / Metropolitan SQ. - These two are part of the Damansara Perdana development. I'm not too sure as to whether construction has commenced or not...

Other PJ constructions:
15. Apartments on Bukit Lanjan - i'm not too sure what the name of this project is, but the blocks there are pretty tall (nearly 30-storeys!)... These buildings are on the side of Bukit Lanjan just next to the Penchala Toll of the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP)...

16. Condominium next to Dataran Prima - very "mong cha-cha", also forgot the name of this development... A reasonably tall condo, around 20-storeys...

PJ's hotspots for high-rise development seems to be around Kota Damansara-PJ North and Kelana Jaya... In a few years, when most of the construction is completed, the skyline of these areas will look more dense than PJ State CBD...

Speaking of PJ State, this used to be the main hi-rise cluster, as evidenced by the building boom of the 90s when such buildings as Menara PKNS PJ (1995), Menara Choy Fook On (1995), Amcorp Trade Center - PJ and Amcorp Towers (1997), and recently, Menara Axis (2003), came up... Other than Amcorp Suites and Millennium Place, there has been little hi-rise construction in this area due to the fact that land is scarce and becoming expensive...

I think he could have drove further down till he reaches the Mont' Kiara area cos NKVE is connected to PLUS thru Bukit Lanjan....... .....some people can't differentiate between PLUS, Jalan Duta and NKVE as all are kinda connected to each other well.

Thanx guys for all the updates.

It's exciting to know how the progress of those constructions is going around in Klang Valley.

Agree with Szehoong that those low cost flats though "boring-looking", they are still laudable as a slum clearance scheme.

Imagine slum areas scattered around among those modernised buildings and skyscrapers. That would certainly be an eyesore. There are also some buildings which seriously need a facelift.

Baq> Are all these construction active (which i hope so)? I thought The Orion for example has had its construction halted? Realised majority of these projects involved residential development. Anyway it's great.

Guys, anyone has any idea about the progress of construction of Grand Hyatt KL and the Duta Plaza office tower? Has construction resumed for both projects?

The Orion has just resumed their construction. It's part of The Selborne project. The news of it's resuming was on the The Star in February this year

- Property Times 28 February 2004 issue -

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, K Residence is without doubt a money-is-no-object designer residential development. If such a property is on your shopping list, read on.

Situated along Jalan Ampang and opposite the Petronas Twin Towers, the development being undertaken by Olympia Industries Bhd, which recently came under the spotlight when Genting Bhd boss Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay raised his stake in the company, will sit atop a shopping mall known as Avenue K, scheduled to be launched at the end of this year.

K Residence will comprise a 50-storey block that will house 180 upmarket condos and another of 30 storeys that will have 298 serviced apartments.

Olympia's subsidiary KL Landmarks Sdn Bhd is now previewing the condo block ahead of its official launch next month. The show units are scheduled for completion in April.

Pegged at RM608psf, K Residence offers the discerning buyer four designs to choose from, comprising two- and three-bedroom layouts and penthouses of both the duplex and triplex variety.

The two-bedroom units priced between RM893,000 and RM1.5 million will have built-up areas ranging from 1,400sq ft to 2,600sq ft, while the three-bedroom designs with 2,400sq ft to 2,700sq ft of space will set buyers back by at least RM1.5 million to a maximum of RM1.8 million.

In the if-you-have-to-ask-you-probably-can?t-afford-it category are the large-as-bungalow penthouses, where the triplexes pegged between RM4.5 million and RM5.8 million boast built-up areas of between 6,500sq ft and 8,300sq ft, and the duplexes with up to 10,000sq ft of space, at between RM4 million and RM7 million.

K Residence will be served by six lifts and will have facilities such as a business centre, bar/caf鬠play room, lounge, mini gym, reading room and swimming pool, the maintenance of which has been pegged at 40sen per square foot per month.

In addition, K Residence buyers can also look forward to 24-hour concierge service to assist them with their daily errands of grocery shopping, laundry collection and pick-up as well as valet parking.

Although on the surface K Residence appears to be another super luxury condo project taking shape in the shadow of the Petronas Twin Towers, it is truly a designer project that will have the creative input of world-renowned designers.

In an effort to set a new standard in interior design, K Residence will bear the trademark of Christian Liagre, a French architect well known for his work on the Mercer Hotel in New York City and the residence of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.

Other designers involved in the project include Singapore-born Ann Li Koh who has worked on projects such as the Grand Hyatt in Hong Kong and the up-and-coming Beijing Grand Hyatt, and Yasumichi Morita who is renowned for creating stylish restaurants in both Japan and Hong Kong.

Expected to be completed in June 2006, K Residence, which is accessible via Jalan Ampang, Jalan Yap Kwan Seng and Jalan P Ramlee, will have its entrance and lobby along Lorong Mayang. It will also be directly connected to Avenue K.


A 50-storey for residential block is cool

http://www.vortexlighting.com/newwor...nueK/aveK.html

Just found the site above.

However it says that Avenue K consists of a seven story shopping mall and two twin 60 story towers Confused The other article says a 50-storey condo and a 30-storey serviced apartment??

[Pablo]

Wonder is there any project of residential which is over 60 stories in KL ??
