K Residence, KLCC

K Residence is a 50-storey tower, which is Malaysia’s first and tallest luxury condominium. It offers 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, duplex and triplex penthouse units just right across the road to Petronas Twin Towers.

K Residence is one of the most luxurious and expensive condominiums in the KLCC vicinity which was developed by KL Landmark. The exterior of the building is covered with very posh and huge glass windows. Overall, it seems to be a friendly intimidation with an added class.

K Residence has the total Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM480.3 million, and each individual investment value ranges from RM1 million to RM10 million. With Suria KLCC mall so conveniently nearby and Avenue K just right underneath, it is an experience where one could enjoy the cosmopolitan lifestyle.

For those concerned with security, residents at K Residence have their own discreet entrance via Jalan Mayang, which has a 4-tier security access, starting from the car park all the way to the door steps of the residences. K Residence is serviced by six single deck high-speed elevators as well as a heavy-duty service lift.

K Residence is directly accessible through the Light Rail Transit (LRT). It is the only residential condominium situated right above an underground link to KLCC. This luxury condo proves to be in a location reachable through many means. If one could afford K Residence, private transportation should not be a problem.

Analysis

Ranging from a generous space of 1,405 sf up to 10,654 sf, the design of K Residence was done by DCM studios, featuring a double-layered curvilinear skin that wraps the tower like a glass tower providing visual strength complementing the iconic facades of the Petronas Twin Towers. The residence is built with large floor plates requiring only minimal to no load bearing walls. Plus the fact that there are only 5 units per floor, thus allowing for a more personal space.

Apart from that, residents at K Residence are able to enjoy the 270 degree unobstructed panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur skyline. Internally, units are illuminated with an array of natural sunlight through the full glass height, emphasizing on elegant simplicity and modernity without forsaking practicality.

All units at K Residence are equipped with low energy systems and central air-conditioning systems which are more efficient than individual units. Furthermore, the 3 m-high ceilings delivers a sense of spaciousness for residents.

While some of the units are perfectly laid and shaped, some units are in an odd “L” shape, because of the strange oval shape of the building. Bigger units are built to have up to 5 rooms and penthouse comes with their very own individual swimming pool. Smaller units comes with 2 bedrooms, with smaller kitchen and bathroom spaces.

Depending on the layouts and whether the unit is unfurnished, semi-furnished or fully furnished, the subsale price for units at K-Residences starts from around RM2,063,100 (as of September 2014). The rental price are found to be in between RM2,900 and RM15,000.
