Staying at the Waldorf

Staying at the Waldorf

A layout revamp in the Far East Consortium Group’s Waldorf Tower service apartments has resulted in a better opportunity for a larger cross-section of buyers to own a home in Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur.

The 29-storey Waldorf Tower houses 160 apartments, and is sited on a 1.5-acre freehold parcel along Jalan Sri Hartamas 1 adjacent to the company’s Plaza Damas commercial development. It was initially launched with three layouts in early 2001. The Hampton and Crown Suites came with built-up areas of 1,460sq ft and 1,710sq ft and the penthouses with 3,435sq ft of space.

But since September last year, the project being undertaken by Malaysia Land Properties Sdn Bhd (Mayland) has now been given an additional four layouts. The new layouts comprise two studio units with built-up areas of 480sq ft and 680sq ft dubbed Studio 48 and Studio 68 respectively, and two larger designs of 1,000sq ft and 1,130sq ft named Ritz and Carlton.

As a result of this revamp, the total number of units available under the first block rose to 228 units, inclusive of 12 penthouses. To date, close to 60 per cent of the units have been sold, demonstrating the wider appeal the project has commanded since the inclusion of the new layouts.

The Studio 68 units come with one bedroom, while the Ritz and Carlton have two-plus-one bedrooms and three bathrooms. The larger Hampton and Crown Suites, on the other hand, have three-plus-one bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Prices for these apartments range from RM143,376 for the Studio 48 apartments to RM496,700 for the Crown Suites. The penthouses, however, are pegged from RM1.3 million.

According to Mayland advertising and promotions manager Ian Tay the availability of different sizes, layouts and pricing means that both investors and owner-occupiers are able to select a unit that best suits their needs.

Additional features that Mayland will be incorporating into the apartments have also gone down well with buyers who were undoubtedly also drawn by the project’s location and convenient access to Plaza Damas and the other commercial centres of Sri Hartamas and Desa Sri Hartamas.
“We have also incorporated practical features for the benefit of our buyers. For instance, all units come with 11-foot high ceilings, kitchen built-ins including a hob and hood, Broadband access and Astro cable sockets. For the penthouses we have incorporated formal and informal dining areas as well as a wet and dry kitchen,” he said.
Being a service apartment, the Waldorf Tower also offers aside from the usual complement of recreational facilities of condo developments (for which buyers will be charged 25sen per square foot) the services of commercial apartment suites located in the heart of the city.

In this instance, all services will be provided and managed by the Dorsett Hotel International chain, which is also owned by the Far East Consortium Group.
Among the services offered by the Dorsett includes leasing services, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning and even catering services for special functions. Charges for such optional services have yet to be determined, but will depend on the nature and frequency of the services required.

Car parking facilities in the development will be provided in a six-storey podium block. Purchasers of units with built-up areas of 1,000sq ft and above will be allocated one bay each, while buyers of the studio apartments have the option of either leasing the bays or buying them at RM20,000 each.
The Waldorf Tower is expected to be completed by early 2007.
