Land & General Bhd (L&G) hopes to create a lush oasis within the concrete jungle of Kuala Lumpur with Astoria Ampang, its first launch for the year 2016. The city property will offer four towers that will stand at 46-storeys high.
This serviced apartment will serve as a majestic landmark holding a total of 1012 luxurious yet practically-sized homes offering built-ups ranging from 560 sq ft and 1,505 sq ft catered in multiple configuration to suit to the likes of different buyer lifestyle and requirements. The units featured within Astoria are some of the finest examples of high-rise living options within the Kuala Lumpur city vicinity.

While most KL city developments are bound by smaller pockets of land, Astoria boasts a 5.7-acre plinth of land in the heart of the city. With such abundant space at its disposal, the development is set to transform its entire vicinity into a true realm of paradise, a stark contrast to the constant buzz of Jalan Ampang.
Future residents of Astoria can expect to be transported into a realm rich in lavish greens, synonymous to a sanctuary enjoying the abundance of natural elements, while perfectly complementing the grey shades of the city.
Aside from being fully inspired by biodiversity, the facilities deck presented within Astoria is a testament to the detailed planning and impeccable dedication toward exuding the nature-rich concept seen across the development.

The key guideline for the project was conceived based on a principle dubbed the 3rd space principle, defined as a space where most memorable experiences of one’s life would occur in contrast to the 1st space where one lives and 2nd space usually revolves around one’s profession.
The facilities deck is poised as a spacious three-acre recreational venue for all residents to immerse into and holds a swimming pool and wading pool, a cascading pond, waterfall, elevated walkway, jogging and cycling path, amphitheater, Tai Chi lawn, yoga deck, gym, pool pavilion, playground, hammock garden, sunken tennis court, Jacuzzi, AV room, games lounge and a BBQ area.

Astoria hopes to offer to its resident, nature within reach, by creating and maintaining an ambience filled with an uplifting aura, offering sights and sounds of a living eco-system, a setting that is enlivened by chirping of a variety of tropical birds, the fluttering of butterflies and the tranquil sounds of streams.
The facilities deck will also encase elements such as wetlands, marshlands, woodlands, cascading waterfalls and elegant water terraces, which are strategically placed throughout. Complementing these natural areas are blankets of greens where each and every species of plant are handpicked to attract the natural life within Astoria, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere, even for nocturnal life.

This city development will be completed four years from its launch date, in 2019 and, units are priced at RM452,000, selling from RM880 psf.
