Analysis

The developer of the property is Hap Seng Land. It has more than 36 years of expertise in property development and holding of investment properties, covering township development, residential, commercial and industrial properties. Among other projects by the same developer include Tropika D’Alpinia, Taman Palm Heights, Bandar Sri Indah and Taman Astana.

The most prominent selling point of The Horizon Residences is the prime location, which explains its hefty price tag, RM 1,300 psf. It has easy access and well-connected to major highways surrounded by prominent office buildings, embassies, medical centre, international schools and nearby retail malls such as Pavilion KL and Suria KLCC.

Having Prince Court Medical Center just less than half km away, the ambulance siren coming back and forth from the hospital may not please the residents. The residents must also expect some congestion when leaving and coming back home as Jalan Tun Razak is always jammed especially during peak time. There were also complaints about The Horizon Residences being overpriced compared to other properties in the same area, which investors may consider on.
