Oh goodness! I should have meant: Everyone have moved elsewhere except for one of my uncle.

That explains the lack of visitations to this beautiful island

Taragon Yap Kwan Seng to add allure to KLCC area
By P. Rajan
- Property Times 08 October 2005 issue -


A new entrant into the property sector is making its presence felt in Kuala Lumpur with the launch of a 12½-storey high-end low-density condominium, the Taragon Yap Kwan Seng (TYKS), on 18,000sq ft of freehold land in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng and close to its intersection with Jalan Tun Razak.

When completed, the project - developed by Taragon YKS Sdn Bhd and managed by Bluestone Capital Sdn Bhd - will add its name to a desirable list of upmarket condos in the prime KL City Centre area that includes The Binjai, The Troika and Park Seven.

The project, on the fringe of the KLCC area, comprises 32 standard units, four sub-penthouses and four penthouses. Prices for the standard units in built-up sizes of 1,767sq ft to 1,895sq ft range between RM676,000 and RM790,000 - or an average of RM400psf.

Prices of the sub-penthouses and penthouses, which come in sizes of 2,241sq ft to 3,210sq ft, start from RM431psf onwards.

“On a per square feet basis, the pricing of our units is probably the lowest in the area. We are able to do this because we acquired the land at a good price. We are confident all the units will be taken up quickly and so we have no intention of embarking on high profile marketing strategies,” Bluestone Capital’s managing director K.H. Sim said

As a comparison, similar sized units in the neighbourhood are tagged at between RM600psf and RM800psf.

This puts the TYKS condos at least 30 per cent cheaper - a bargain for property that is readily accessible to the amenities, facilities and entertainment centres in a prime area of the Federal Capital.

Another selling point for TYKS is that there are only four units per floor, making them all corner units. The development comes with a full range of facilities that include swimming and wading pools, sauna, gymnasium, multipurpose hall and barbeque area - all of which will be located on the first floor.

The standard units, which will occupy the second to ninth floors, will have four bedrooms and three bathrooms while the sub-penthouses on the 10th and 11th floors and the penthouses on the 11th and 12th floors will have five bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The project also comes with 55 car-parking bays that are located in the basement, ground and mezzanine floors.

Launched late last month, the development has so far recorded sale of 40 per cent of the units. It is expected to be completed by September 2008.

I like how it looks, not so sure about the price.

I wish KL would have more developments along the lines of inner city town houses, instead of these high rise condo's, apartments and service suites. I'm very partial to town houses. I'm already living at such a place in Brisbane, I totally love it! I've never really liked the high rise city living, I lived on the 31st floor off Rivervalley road in Singapore, in the city itself between Orchard and Boat quay, I was surrounded by other high rise apartments though my unit was high enough to have a decent view. Anyways from my experiences, it just seems like it had not much character, I mean what sets a high rise "pangsapuri", my particular one apart from the other one beside it, surrounding it? Granted there's a different marketing name, different coat of paint and different developer but the brick and mortar design is essentially the same and has the same purpose, that being of vertically stacking the units one on top of each other, which is only superficially different from all the other high rise towers that surrounds it by facade, each having just some minor insignificant differences.

Anyways whats with all these high rises, I'll never be able to understand? I think medium density units like town houses are more suitable for inner city KL, we have quite a few vacant lots, heaven forbid that they all become high rise apartments! It'll be too monotonous.

Just my dua sen. From what I gather and see a whole bunch of you love "pangsarapuri's" and "high rise living" with great fervour, heck there's even a dedicated section of it on the Malaysian SSC, good on you guys! I think I am in the minority with my views, sorry for not having the same passion towards them. Enough from me, continue with your discussions unabated.
