THE SENTRAL RESIDENCES – KL SENTRAL

The writer recently had made a visit to the show gallery since it has relocated to Sentral Plantinum recently.

The original launch date for this last condominium should be approx. 1 year ago with price was told started from 1,1oo psf, however we couldnt verify the fact of this price.

With KL Sentral masterplan comes to a close with the launch of this Sentral Residences, the only vacant land left is a plot of land further away from Nu Sentral which currently used as car park and is targetted at lower rise office blocks (approx. 15 storey). Nu Sentral is targetting to open to public mid next year after a numerous false starts. With St Regis taking shape and two earlier condo launches (Sausana and Loft) having great capital appreciation and rental demand, no wonder this Sentral Residences did have a great responses from the public, despite of its absolute high entry prices.

At a quick glance, this twin-tower 56 storey freehold project sits at the edge of KL Sentral, closer to Museum Negara and one side over looking Lake Garden and beyond and the other side having Seputeh view. Brickfield is already passed the look out of this condo. And to make your investment worth every single ringgit and sen, you have the bragging right of your condo just sits next to the 6 star St Regis Hotel & Residences and a MRT line right in front with dedicated walkway just right in front of Museum Negara. Oh…we haven’t even talked about Kl Sentral Station as the hub of transport for KTM, ERL and LRT yet with Monorail just a few steps away. It actually make perfect sense that this is the BEST public transport connectivity condo project anywhere else in Klang Valley.

 

So any units left after 1 year launch? Yes they are but not the choice units of course. There are two units of 1 bedder (1119sq) on 40th and 44th floor Seputeh View. Currently MRCB is provided 3% discount and DIBS and the net price for the 40th floor unit is at RM1,289psf or absolute value of 1.4mil. If you value the finishing of these units (comes with complete kitchen, airconds and marble flooring for bathroom and others), its not that “expensive” when you compared to what The Star Residences got to offer recently. Yes, these are the larger one bedder, and you wouldn’t feel that you are living in a shoe box at all as compared to the other current offerings of 1 bedder with 500, 600 or 700 sq elsewhere. 1 cp is included in its price. Maintainence is 40sen and this condo is due to complete by 3Q16.

Other available units are on lowest floors and they are all 2 bedder with absolute entry price of Rm2mil onwards. The writer just stopped asking questions on these units.

Attached please find some loose shots of display units at the sales gallery to give you some ideas of this condo.Should you have any interest of owning the last piece of KL Sentral and do have the budget of over 1.4mil, please head over to Sentral Plantinum (the green color low rise office), ground floor.  Enjoy reading.
