Analysis
Menara Taipan is developed by TSSB, under directors of SHL Consolidated Bhd, which is also renting Wisma Sin Heap Lee and Wickham Residence. Although listed in Rahim & Co’s website, it is said that it is no longer involved in the sale of Menara Taipan. It is listed for sale at RM306 million. There were futile attempts to confirm the sale as TSSB refuses to comment on the matter.
Menara Taipan, as a serviced apartment, offers luxury living style and a low density residential as its 25-storey apartment block consists of only 52 units. However, there has been a rave regarding the nightclubs along Jalan P Ramlee, as well as the usual jam-packed roads in the Golden Triangle, thus high levels of noise pollution are inevitable.
Nevertheless, Menara Taipan is nested further from the clubs, the closest ones being the Beach Club and Aloha, hence it does make a conducive environment for both living and working.
Units facing Menara KL can be sold at its highest price. The serviced apartment suggests a comfortable city lifestyle with great convenience, the desire for everyone living within the vicinity, hence it is believed that its selling price would mount tremendously in the future.
However, located within the Golden Triangle, traffic congestion is commonly expected at all times. Nevertheless, Menara Taipan is also highly accessible as affordable public transportation services are provided, for example Bukit Nanas Monorail station and RapidKL LRT Dang Wangi station
