Analysis:
One Residency is strategically located within the Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle within Bukit Bintang and KLCC enclaves. Residing in the area, residents should not worry about facilities and amenities available, as most necessities are within reach, and just within walking distance. It is near to Raja Chulan monorail station, commercial centers, hotels, bars, clubs and shopping malls.
One Residency was developed by Lion Group, via its property arm, Visionwell. The group which is well known for being a steel manufacturer, has been diversified its business into other fields including property developer and retail business under Parkson chain, which its stores are located local and overseas. It co-owns the 50-storey Citibank Tower in Kuala Lumpur, and developed numerous residential and townships including Twins at Damansara Heights, Bandar Bukit Mahkota, Bandar Mahkota Cheras and Bandar Mahkota Banting to name a few. Not only that, it has also undertaken real estate development jobs in Singapore and China. Meanwhile, One Residency interiors are done by LCL Corp, which also responsible for other high-end residential and commercial properties interior designs such as Berjaya Times Square Hotel.
One Residency has been word of mouth since its launch back then in the end of 2005. But since then, there development seemed to be slowly in progressed. Even a year later, there was no construction work done at the site. It was reported that the developer just got the green light to commence development work by the authority by June 19, 2006. Good news for the owners that the construction works are pretty quick, which it was completed right as scheduled, in 2009.
Units available for purchase or rent is only North tower that comprises of 16 floors as the whole 290 units of South Tower are purchased by a subsidiary of UOL Overseas Development Pte Ltd which wholly-owned by United Overseas Land Ltd. The tower will be operated as service apartments and suites by Park Royal.
Maybe because it was launched in 2005 while the competition is not stiff as nowadays, it seems that the condominium only offers typical facilities and accommodations like normal condominiums. Unlike most of residential in KLCC enclave, they are equipped with high class and appealing facilities such as yoga studio, squash court and laundry.
The views are not great either, unless you owned large units, then you will enjoy mesmerizing view of KLCC and KL Tower. Smaller units from 1br to 2br units face either South Tower, Menara Boustead or Istana hotel.
Its modern architecture and glassy features are really appealing for the investors as well as its tag price. Due to its long time launched, most of initial buyers should make a fortune by now. But, there is still huge potential for this property to shine in near future which the price will climb further once the economy recovers. With limited units available for trade as South Tower is wholly owned by UOL Overseas, the price will hike easily in no time. It scores on location, and design inside out, it will surely do well.
