Polaris Suites is a glamourous up and coming combination of lifestyle mall, designer suites and hotel all mixed into one. Situated in the busy town of Selayang, this leasehold mega property is a project by the developer called Sierra Delima Development, a subsidiary of Leadmont Development. January 2018 is the expected date of completion for this still-under-construction infrastructure.The layout of units in Polaris Suites are of four different offerings. Type B is the most space-stricken with a built area of 538 sf while Type C is the biggest with 983 sf. Type A has a built area of 624 sf while Type D is 855 sf. Type A and B do not offer specialized rooms, whereas Type C and D both offer three bedrooms. All types have 2 bathrooms for the residents. The price ranges from RM349,000 to RM614,000.Enclaving the residents in these units at Polaris Suites is masonry wall. Fire rated door are built in, along with quality locks for security measures. The developer promised the 'highest standards in build-quality and construction'. Adding sweetener to the deal is of the upgraded security level. A 24/7 security vigilance will be provided, with three-tier security that can be found at car access, car park entrance and lift lobby added in. A fully enclosed perimeter fencing at Polaris Suites is also another feature, along with single access point entry and an extensive CCTV network. Clearly, safety is not a major concern. Other than that, the facilities that will be provided looks to be top-notch. There are the ones that are quite common such as wading and swimming pool, kids' playground, gymnasium and a barbecue area, then the developer managed to make things exciting with sauna, yoga zone, jacuzzi and games and reading room thrown in.The shopping mall downstairs of Polaris Suites are said that it will be populated with big names such as AEON MaxValue, Uniqlo, Bowling Valley, Celebrity Fitness and also GSC Cinema. Holiday Villa Hotel will also be a member of the building as it completes the residential, shopping and temporary accommodation trio. Other necessities could most probably be found just under the feet, literally as the shopping mall could probably cater to all. Schools that are in the vicinity of the area are SK Bandar Baru Selayang 2, SRK Selayang Baru and SRK Selayang Baru 1, with the furthest being only 1.71 km away. Even Kolej Komuniti Selayang and The Medical faculty of UiTM (Selayang Campus) are nearby. This means that Polaris Suites are not short of education institutions.Jalan Ipoh is the major road link that people who are from Polaris Suites can enjoy. Lebuhraya Selayang - Kepong is right next to it too. MRR2, which links some of the major districts in Kuala Lumpur is also accessible from the building. New flyovers and link roads are being proposed to ease future traffic congestion worries. Three of those are on Jalan Ipoh, with one being across Lebuhraya Selayang - Kepong.

This project is actually a birth child of Inspiration Group, who is having Leadmont Development to manage the project. Inspiration Group's past projects include Centrestage and the Amansiara series in Selayang. Centrestage is a project that is quite akin to Selayang Star City in which residential suites are placed on top of a mall. Amansiara on the other hand consists of a few phases of development projects. Some have questioned the quality of some houses in the Amansiara area, as low-cost materials are said to be used.Traffic can be quite scary, especially during the morning rush hour. The traffic jam begins around 6:30 am. A drive from Selayang that begins at 6:45 am might end at 8:00 am. Other than buses and taxi, there are no other current mean of transportation available.On crime in Selayang, the level of safety is moderate. Though it does not near a black area status, the dense population means that all kinds of people are there, and all criminal opportunities are there too. But it must be kept in mind that the developer will provide the building with high level security systems. Thus, residents can sleep at night without worrying too much of a crime happening at their house. Constant vigilance around the neighbourhood would not hurt, but residents need not worry too much. Selayang is a mix of standards when it comes to exclusivity. Depends on how the project develops, the project might be one of high standard. Given the fact that Inspiration Group prides itself on being an exclusive boutique developer, one can expect the building to have a respectable standard of its own.Selayang Star City and subsequently Polaris Suites have raised a few eyebrows in wake of their announcement. Many have expressed their disappointment with the high number of units that will be made available to the public. It is because Selayang is already a highly-populated area. The strength of the potential shopping mall has also come into question. Will it be successful, or will it bust? However, a lot of glamourous retailers have been mooted to occupy the shopping lots, hence it does have potential. The project promises to be a glamourous and a popular one, but one might want to dig in more before making a decision.
