Erm I don’t really think this project is ideal for retirement, especially since it’s still under construction. There are shoplots below, but most of them cater to a younger crowd, except for the ban mi place. If you want to eat out, you’ll likely need to drive to other streets, and Segambut can get pretty jammed with traffic. But for residents heading to Dutamas, Mont Kiara, or KL Metropolis, the link bridge does give The Era and other condos on the same road some competitive edge, especially with higher rental rates. So for me, It is perfect if you looking for investment, or working nearby and want to raise your small family there.

I checked out the show unit, and the agent took us to see the facilities floor and rooftop too. Maintenance looks pretty solid, though some facilities are only partially open, and the rest will be available as the other phases get completed. The rooftop view is awesome! The workmanship in Phase 2 is said to be better since they’re using IJM.

If you’re considering something for elderly family members, I’d suggest looking into United Point. It has an Aeon, lots of restaurants, and clinics down below.
If you’re into new projects, Bamboo Hill is also worth considering because they have Komune Care, a day care center for the elderly.
Or, you could just go for a condo in a more established area where older folks can live more comfortably.
