I found out from my friend that a developer plans to build the tallest condominium tower in Malaysia. It will be located in KL Sentral. Apparently, it will be above 50 storey’s high with pricing above RM1,000psf.

Anyone had info on this development? I found a link which is quite interesting but doesn’t provide much info :

@clementlam,
I've no information on the development but it being the "tallest" doesn't give it additional benefits to purchasers.

the four season residence in KLCC will be 60 storey high is not mistaken, will this one be higher?

What if there is a fire.

Japanese always look for the lowest floor , though no earthquake in Malaysia.

@SKY 1809,
Hence, being the "tallest" isn't really a selling point, in my opinion.

being the tallest wil give u higher density, and perhaps someone will be happy to own the penthouse at 60th floor.....

The day the lift 'kaput', one can opt to stay at a nearby hotel instead of walking up 60 floors.

@scorgio,
I'm quite sure there are backup generators

Back ups in Malaysia always work when there are no needs for them.

@SKY 1809,
Ah well... in that case land ur helicopter on the helipad up on the roof and walk a floor down

That sounds better.

tallest..
easy to tell other laa...
"i live at the tallest condo in KL.. u know where" kekekekek

i think they going to built it over the old shell right? in papers today

they are trying to built a RM 1000 psf condo in brickfield? sure got market or not?

@robertngo,
It's not like the developers have a choice; if that is the piece of land they have that's the piece of land they've got to develop.

It looks like it's going to boil down to their Marketing team to create that market

In my opinion, being tall can be quite good. From the website, it states that there will be a sky club on the roof top. The view must be fantastic there! Really eager for this upcoming development.

Can anyone get info on this project?

the view may be good on the top, but for lower unit is there any good view?

second dat...

if theree're money to be spent to build higher floors which required stabler foundation and better quality raw materials....why not making a dual tower condo like the figure of klcc??? imagine the 1st twin condo which looked like klcc??? shopping centres to be set under it....making there a biggest swimming pool that goes around the condo...luxurious food stall and top franchise and fast foods stalls. but i bet the price will be so high that only foreigners with high forex can afford it.

Twins look cheap. More top floors instead of one. More tall buildings instead of one.

Worst still, if you lose every things ( standard of livings ) to your friend next door.

Good view at top floor. Sometimes mean living next to heaven, and you are still not happy ( heart break ) , then next choice is to move up to the heaven.

Tall building is good , bcos developer does not have to pay for the air ( land has to ) at top floors.

No wonder, it is still the best paid career in the world.
