Vertical living is a trend that will continue for the foreseeable future, considering that land is a precious commodity. However, the lack of space is no excuse for us to live life fully. As we speak, developers are racing to create some of the most promising high-rise developments—these distinguished structures rise proudly to grace the Kuala Lumpur cityscape, and they are bound to redefine modern living.
Those interested to enjoy the city view from atop should check out the list of developments that have won our StarProperty.my Awards 2019 category—The Skyline Developments Award.
The Skyline Developments Award goes to the high-rise residential development offering exciting urban lifestyles with a unique design, an appealing ambience, comprehensive facilities, and innovative engineering.
An imposing city structure of culture and modernity
Located in Kuala Lumpur Sentral, Sentral Suites combines modern city lifestyle conveniences with the cultural heritage of Brickfields. Its unique facade design is inspired by the geometric lines of the turmeric leaf (daun kunyit), which gives a strong visual identity and a link to the rich cultural traditions of this neighbourhood.
Easily recognisable from afar, the turmeric leaf motif reinforces the development concept of a “garden experience in the city.” The dual green certified development features 15 Sky Gardens with five unique themes and 15 Sky Pods spread across the three towers with a host of sports and leisure facilities for the community to enjoy.
An Urban Park will be built to commemorate the ‘100 Quarters’, which was once the living quarters of KTM staff. With attractive layouts and sizes catering to various owner preferences, the tower apartments potentially provide good investment returns. Buyers have a choice of 10 layouts ranging from 650sf for single-bedroom units to 1,166sf for dual-key units.
Experience ‘sky high’ living
Residensi Bintang Bukit Jalil, the highest residential project in the area, is elevated 15 metres above ground level and offers majestic views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline and the Titiwangsa range. The development consists of 1,342 units built on 5.47 acres and has over 90 facilities for residents to enjoy.
Its meticulously designed landscape and facilities provide a serene and refreshing sanctuary. Lush vertical hanging greens adorn wall facades while facilities such as the Sky Garden, Picnic Lawn, Forest Space and Maze Garden highlight the abundance of greenery within the development.
The unique nine-storey parking facility is designed for the convenience of residents who park on the higher floors; a ‘super ramp’ allows quicker access to even-numbered floors of the car park. The development’s location complements its proximity to educational institutions, malls, sporting facilities, country clubs and LRT stations.
Exclusive living with a wealth of luxury and privacy
Setia Sky Seputeh is a low-density development that offers its residents luxury, exclusivity, privacy and security. Located in a prime location in Kuala Lumpur, the two residential towers are inspired by the natural contours of the terrain and its distinct curvilinear facade exudes a strong and unique identity.
Residents enjoy maximum privacy with each floor housing only four to six units complete with their own lift lobby. Novel five-star facilities, including Malaysia’s longest man-made 100m sandy beach, offers endless hours of respite and relaxation from the daily rigours of city life. Residents unwind in facilities specially designed to provide serene views of the surrounding forest or panoramic vistas of the city skyline.
Attractive option in a mature township for growing families
M Vertica, the tallest residential tower development in Cheras, caters to a wide spectrum of home buyers including young professionals and families. It offers stylish and functional three and four-bedroom layouts to suit various needs from home starters to growing families.
The residences are ideal for families because they offer plenty of recreational and sporting activities that promote a healthy lifestyle as well as greater social interaction among residents. Green spaces have been created to offer respite from the bustle of the city and are perfect venues for family and social events.
The sports arena at the ground level has futsal, tennis and basketball courts while specially-designed Passive, Aqua and Active zones at the podium level house, among others, cycling and jogging tracks, swimming, wading pools and Jacuzzi, yoga, tea and fragrance gardens, and viewing deck. Its central location in a mature and sustainable township makes M Vertica easily accessible via major roads and public transport, including a direct MRT link to the town centre.
