The new Opus towers, located at what is to be the newest epicentre of Kuala Lumpur, looks to stun locals and the world over with its exclusive address and offerings.
Integrated developments are a dime a dozen in modern Kuala Lumpur, where rising costs and limited land availability is causing developers to build upwards instead of outwards. Many developers are packing various facilities into their projects to make up for the smaller unit built-ups, but sometimes, less is more. Enter Opus, an up-and-coming lifestyle project to be reckoned with, with international standards and an extraordinary address to match.
When everything flows in perfect rhythm, there is a swirl of energy that establishes the seasons, cycles, stages of development and patterns. Opus aims to establish just that: a wholesome and balanced lifestyle for its residents. This development is like a form of artistic work, just like the definition of the very word itself, ‘a set of musical compositions’.
Opus is uniquely marked by its 357 posh units that are fully-fitted with designer furniture pieces from Calvin Klein's line, as well as technologically perfected household appliances from Gorenje. Calvin Klein Furniture is accessible to the individual of today due to its young, elegant, fresh and sophisticated approach to their aesthetics. Gorenje is the world's eighth largest home appliances supplier and has been improving the living quality of their users for more than 60 years with their range of energy-efficient products.
It aims to bring utmost privacy to residents with its top-notch hospitality services, that include a concierge and bell boys. "We chose a modern contemporary concept to base our designs on; we want to create an environment that allows for our residents to have the instant feeling of warmth and welcome, akin to coming home," says Star Effort Sdn Bhd director Dave Hoong.
But it’s the location of this low-density development along Jalan Talalla that sets it in a class of its own. A mere hop, skip and jump away is the tallest building in Malaysia, taller even than the iconic KL Twin Towers. Towering 682m proudly over the glittering city skyline is KL118 (once called Warisan Merdeka), named after the 118 storeys that will hold a hotel, 8-storey shopping mall, office space and a retail business centre.
This new global symbol of our rapidly developing nation will create a diameter of the most sought-after address once completed, as KL118 will also be one of the tallest in the world. Bina Puri will have the distinction of being the first to launch their two towers as it has already obtained the necessary approvals.
Opus is not without its fair share of high quality facilities to pamper and provide a relaxing sanctuary for residents to escape to. Two swimming pools, one at each tower, are tailored to suit different moods. The Opus-inspired pool beckons residents outdoors to soak up the sun’s gentle warmth, whereas the Galaxy-inspired pool comes alive at night with hundreds of twinkling LED lights that create an effortlessly romantic atmosphere.
A meditation garden, hydro therapy jacuzzi, floating yoga deck and tropical gardens are among some of the other facilities that complete the overall feeling of opulence that distinguished residents get to enjoy.
The smart security systems installed at this impressive development are state-of-the-art, and part of the reason why Opus stands out from the rest. In addition to the three-tier security system and CCTVs, there is a video intercom service where residents are able to view and grant access to their guests via a simple push of the button that activates the lift to their floors. This does away with the conventional method of checking by security guards.
There is also an automated garrison door system that is one of the first of its kind to be found in Malaysia. Adopted from other developed countries that have made use of this smart technology, it is a step ahead from the rest as it allows residents to enter and exit the building without having to leave the safety and comfort of their vehicles. Provided with a sensor, it causes the garrison gates to open as soon as the vehicle is within proximity, which closes as soon as the vehicle drives out.
Setting out to emulate the success of the Opus masterpiece in Hong Kong (the most expensive luxury condominium), Bina Puri has taken on the task to create a piece of real estate that will leave its mark for generations to come. The prestige of having the opportunity to say that one lives on the doorstep of a global icon is unparalleled.
"With its close proximity to KL118 and the upcoming transport hub within, as well as surrounded by a network of major arteries, Opus KL will provide long-term advantages to local and international buyers and investors. Even though the units will be sold at an entry-level price, we foresee enormous potential and a positive sign of rental yield, especially since a new chapter is about to unfold with the presence of KL118," says Bina Puri group executive director Matthew Tee.
