dis problem kowtim adey?

Hi, i just bought a condo here... during my visit it seems ok.. but not too sure about management though .. anyone can tell me how is the management now? are the problems before fixed? i did some reading it seem that there was problem back in the late 90's and early 2000.. a lil bit worried now

congrats on your purchase.. ..view of the KLCC from this AT is really really superb... and has a resort like living...spoken to the owner of this Atheneum Tower sometime ago...he said conditions have improved... mind to share which bank secure the deal for you?...contact details of the loan officer?...many thanks

thanks,i feel so much better,this is my first property purchase,it's kinda an impulse buying because i fell in love with the unit,plus it is way cheaper than any other area in kl.. but i didn't buy the klcc view unit, mine is facing the greenery ,it's cheaper. hehe... currently only rhb bank and cimb bank can secure the deal. since i bought the property from agent he assigned me a home loan agent. his name is thomas , you can contact him 0165066716

Going to rent here next month to get first hand experience with Athenaeum.

See how it goes, might consider buying 2-3years down the road.

how is the condo doing now?

Ya i also would like to know what is the selling price if i want to buy?

based on the price on iproperty it's too cheap for KL so i suggest you delve deeper into why the price is so good. 350k for 1300 sft. I mean, we roughly know why (due to the collapseof highland) but do't rush into it.

As per my previous post, I have been renting there since Oct 2014.

After actually living here for a few years, gaining valuable first hand experience and knowing the ins and outs of this place... I feel confident enough to make an informed decision to buy as a place for me to stay.

The going rate these days seems to be RM220-230 psf. The market has definitely softened.

My gf and I took our time checking out more than 10 units here before deciding on a corner unit that has the view I like. It seems the market has softened enough for me to bring the price down to RM215psf without even trying. Hell yeah...!!

Going to talk to HLB when I'm free next month. Although I only need a 50% loan (to reduce my risk), banks are very strict in approving mortgage applications nowadays... and they might not like such a low loan margin... so fingers crossed.

Hi could I ask anyone has the current management number ?

03-4105 2099

The residents' association had its AGM yesterday, after 3 years of renting there I finally sat in as an owner with full voting rights.

After completing repairs & refurbishment to all 6 elevators last year, plans are underway to further refurbish all the roofing & repaint the entire condo, starting with A Block. The sinking fund has enough to cover half the cost, the other half will be funded via collection @ RM2k per unit. This will happen hopefully quite soon and it's the single most significant refurbishment effort as much of the wear & tear on the exterior of the building must and will be addressed during repainting. We're expecting psf values to rise dramatically once this is completed next year... fingers crossed.

They will also look into refurbishing the 20+ year old water tanks after the repaint.

Earlier this year, Telekom chose Athenaeum as their pilot project to upgrade the crappy old copper trunking to FTTH (fiber to the home). This is currently halfway completed, with the fiber optic cabling already installed in the riser and hooked up to what looks like distribution panels/boxes on every floor. Their reps showed up at the meeting to explain that we will have full fibre optic cabling to every floor and every condo unit.

Condos & apartments usually have VDSL while the more advanced FTTH is usually reserved for landed property. But now Athenaeum will have FTTH, which is definitely a first for something under RM230/psf and over 20 years old... lol..!

All corridor lighting now upgraded to LED. Genset switchgear also has been upgraded. CCTV system has been upgraded. Lightning arrestors have been refurbished. PERHILITAN took care of the monkey menace.

Things are definitely looking up with the new building mgmt co, residents' assoc & Athenaeum in general.

was really good news, hopefully I can find a suitable unit before the price sky rocket.

if any owners want to sell me a unit at PA please pm me yeah, we can discuss

sky rocket due to ekve?

No cause all PA needs is good maintenance, if they repaint it and can touch up here and there I expect the price to go up to RM 400k plus, im no property agent. but I ve been to the place several times, In terms of location, FREEHOLD, huge sq feet and 2 car parks provided and nearby KL the demand is there, just that right now it looks really run down from outside (but if you go in its ok) some more got gym and swimming pool, nice view and fresh air. Another place like this is Venice hill but its occupied by mostly Africans

In terms of access to roads it connected to MRR2 means can use DUKE or just use MRR2 if not jam. Dont think such problem. Also giant and AU2 Aeon near there, nice place to buy grocery
