You are right when buildings are constructed so close in KL. Defeats the joy of having a high rise unit when you open only to see the opposite neighbor or worst, an office. Town planning is bad
I guess this is quite common around CBD areas. And this is exactly why I like to use video to demonstrate phenomenon like these so everyone will understand. Thanks for sharing your view Adam. I really appreciate it!!
Great to see a Sean Tan video on Sunday morning before going to work. Love watching your videos while I have my coffee before heading off to work. A good start to the day. Fun to watch and I always learn something.
Came back to watch this one again. Foster is a genius. The odd angles should be celebrated for originality. MCO must be driving some distress selling. There are units slightly smaller for ~1.8M - what a steal for that location. Heart of the city; covered walk to Bukit Bintang.
imagine it's raining, and the husband just came back hot and hungry, so he turn on the aircond and asking you to cook and you're drying up the clothes in the dryer. the wet kitchen is like a free sauna (wet one)....
No doubt the facade and massing design is sublime! Super elegant and robust and timeless. A true magnificent addition to KL city skyline. Although the overlooking issue is expected given the radial arrangement of massing, the angular part of the unit layout is a bit disappointing.
$3000 a month for a lush apartment near singapore. id say you people got it good. something that big and luxurious will cost at least $10k a month anywhere else.
Just subscribed to the channel. I quite enjoy how you are honest with your review, dont like say dont like! Just dont know you got kana scolded ornot LOL

Sean ..., I’m looking for condos around the KLCC area must have parking included & KLCC view. I’m open to any budget the main thing is just the location & view. I’m Malaysian currently living and residing in Canada but is looking for a home in Malaysia. I’m currently in KL for a visit
Hi and welcome to my home turf!! Kindly email me at taniherng@gmail.com and I'll pass your contact to my colleague as it's their full time job to assist investors. Looking forward to your email=)
It's a nice place...clean, comfortable, good secure service ,shopping area😘ezy finding food,agaist to LRT station...but pls don't driving in thisarea anymore ..traffic terrible jamm...🥶🥶🥶
@@iherng yes exactly. Interior space planning is something that needs to be put well planned for even at initial design phase, that's my thoughts as an ID. Anyway I love your reviews that touch on these aspects as well :)
To be honest, this place is difficult to live in with the scale of the construction outside and the ensuing noise. By the pool, the sight and noise can be overwhelming with the construction. The rental should be higher but many owners are desperate to get tenants. I'd go back again when the MRT station is completed, not before.
You def won’t like KL then - it’s booming; construction everywhere. As far as the metro the main KLCC station isn’t far. This ‘East’ station is just going to be even more convenient. Sean, given the amount of new buildings still going up I assume you’re investing for the long term. As such I completely agree - but something brand new, not 10 years old. Good luck.
@@WestCoastAce27 KL is not booming in the economic sense. There is way too much supply over demand and a certain number of developments are fronts for money laundering - as can happen anywhere. Much of the overall construction across the city are the remnants of a certain government before May 9 2018.
Just discovered your channel! I'm not Chinese and I have issues with the unusual angle and design.. feels like it is not Feng Shui-friendly and it is not ergonomic, for me at least.. You're right on the outside it is a beautiful facade like brutalism meets modernism but the in-between space on the inside is not likeable. I do like the restaurants though!
it's very nice to see such luxurious unit, however on the sad side, you mentioned such units only available to expats and I assume limited elitist, which means ordinary Malaysian will not be able to enjoy in Malaysia. :)
Maybe we should shift the perspective. Instead of being sad, we should be motivated on striving to stay in of this. Because these are the people who have worked super hard, or super lucky lah hahaha=)
@@iherng yes I agree with you that hard working people deserves a better living space they deserved. Btw do you know like the occupancy rate of such luxurious condo? as far as I know in Penang, a lot of condo thesedays are less than 70% due to its price higher than normal average income affordability.
Well that depends on is it a new property or subsale. For new property bought from developers, it's usually empty unless you buy fully furnished packages. Then for subsale, you'll have to negotiate on the existing conditions. Hope that helps:)
Really dissapointed with the balcony views with a 2.5 million price tag..just saying,y ou might as well make the balcony bigger and turn it into your own little garden,which is much better than all those tower blocks outside...
Unfortunately it's quite a common issue for buildings in the CBD area. But that size really makes a great little garden though. Hahaha=) Thanks for sharing!!
It's not bad for a 10 year old condo. I like the facade but the interior design a bit weird as what you said. The other thing I don't like is the view from that unit.
Thanks Wai Kong for sharing your point. Yea, that's very unfortunate for the unit but these always happen in CBD where density is high. Thanks for watching yea=)
1200 psf is actually a bargain. But overall price its still 2.7m lol. A bargain that few people can afford I suppose. 11k per month is almost 5% yield, not bad at all. If only I have 2.7m lying around!
with the recent event of covid pandemic, how is the property business in KL? does the price for renting condo drop? or it doesnt have any effect esp. for luxurious condominium, looking forward to living KL, wondering if I can afford to rent one of those luxurious condos
Wow never expected the layout of this supposedly super atas condo is so bad! Im malay but the angular thingy right really turn off lah... also wet kitchen got washer la and compressor and exposed to weather 🤦🏻♂️
Yupe. The facade was well done but you can tell the age of the building based on the timber flooring, toilet design, electrical sockets and facilities.. Thanks for watching Junyu=)
Nice facade, terriblr interior layout. Everywhere you go you risk langgar tiang. In addition to bad fengshui, also risk physical injury. No wonder rm1200 psf in a super prime location next to a klcc.
After closing the video, I didn't really notice but it's evident when I'm outside. The mosque is just next door and it was Friday. Thanks for watching Tah=)
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching. My take of the city centre is tough competition. A lot of new projects are coming up within that small area. Although the rental market is great but the secondary prices are not not increasing as expected=)
It's because that the strategy to massively bring down cost. As the team can predict the amount of furniture and appliances, they can buy them in bulk so everyone can afford to live in better looking homes. If every design is customized, most likely every piece of furniture needs to be either custom made or buy off the shelf which can be really really costly. But as for the design, the company have more than 20 over designs for owners to select from but it's always that few popular ones that they prefer, which results in the video showing similar ones. I work there by the way that's why I understand these hehe=)
I would rather purchase a luxury condominium outside KL or rather far from KL city center. Pay to these luxurious condo yet need to encounter with the construction noise and with no views. Public transportation? Nahh KL is easy place to get a transportation esp grab and soon mrt/lrt/monorail are easily access.
Hahah, there is nothing close to Foster's style. The interior and those furniture in particular are a big disappointment. Foster would be very angry to see all these. LOL...
Hey boy, walk-in-wardrobe has been a thing since the late 90s. Where have you been? Side note: Feels like whoever the owner is, spent millions on a property but not willing to fork out a lil bit more for the interior jobs.
I was still a young innocent boy, in 1998 I'm 10 years old hahaha=) But thanks for correcting me yea Richard, I really appreciate it for the context. Anyway, it's for investment purpose so I don't think putting in a lot of capital for ID is sensible though.. If it's for ownstay then I fully agree with your statement. Thank you very much for sharing your view on this yea!!

How convenient hahahaha!!
I expect more from Troika.
Nevertheless, I love the facade.
Yea, but it was definitely a good exposure=)
thank for watching!!
Love it so much
But I prefer practicality than architecture facade
Thanks for sharing your view Ash. I think so too. It'll be cool if it was an office=)
Very good review.quite complete.not only on d pro side but he did mention the con side.great job.
Glad you liked it Ahmad!!

Come to Msia.
I have watched your videos for 5 hours non stop🤣 but it's a good knowledge
Live a simple life.
Don't envy.
Walk the middle path.
And may you live a long satisfying life.
Thanks for watching!
those weird corners not just weird, it is waste of space. They should make every inch count. Just my opinion.
It's to cater to the incredible facade profile and massing unfortunately. But at least the bedrooms are square lah hahaha=)
Thank for your sharing! Could you make some property reviews at mont kiara in the future?
That's the future episode, coming soon!!

Overall I like TROIKA design except for the weird corners in the interior space. I love Norman Foster designs hahaha i maybe biased.
Hahaha... right? It's different between reading their design from books versus walking in their actual design.

So if you’re staying here means you will only have 1 neighbor or you dont? It can be very good or bad lar depending on the day.
Yea. It's seriously very very luxury in terms of privacy=)

Form over function. Compare it to dua residency which looks like 2 rectangular boxes with vertical bars, dua residency floor plan is so much better.
would like to hear your thoughts and review on Tria Seputeh.
ur personality quite cute.....tq for the info n tour

Hahahaha. Yealoh, I guess I move around too much. Tooooo excited when visiting property=)
If I want to buy a house like apartment, studio , condominium,can I cancel those electrical appliances, lighting, furniture if it is included??
Well that depends on is it a new property or subsale. For new property bought from developers, it's usually empty unless you buy fully furnished packages. Then for subsale, you'll have to negotiate on the existing conditions.
Hope that helps:)
nice review there

Hi, jus checking wats your take on the up coming Bukit Bintang city center , thanks
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching.
My take of the city centre is tough competition. A lot of new projects are coming up within that small area. Although the rental market is great but the secondary prices are not not increasing as expected=)
@@iherng Thanks Bro, continue with the good work on reviewing malaysian properties
Rm1200psf in klcc area is damn cheap wei
Right? Just that the size of the units are huge lah. If not it's really affordable for the location.
The price is much better than the overkill pavilion damansara
Hahahaha. Thanks for sharing that insight=)
