K Residence apartments opposite the Petronas Twin Towers

Project value of 96 Million USD

Two open days in Dubai for interested parties on the 16th and 18th of February

Dubai, UAE: 13 February 2006 - Milford Real Estate, a leading real estate agency in Dubai, announced today the launch of sale for K Residence units, a prominent new development in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to GCC residents. The total development has a cost of 96 Million USD.

The K Residence luxury condominium is linked to the luxury retail centre, Avenue K. They form part of a total development located along Jalan Ampang directly opposite the Petronas Twin Towers. Owners of K Residence units will enjoy remarkable privileges living in the very pulse of the city. With direct access to the Light Rail Transit (LRT) station, they will also benefit from unparalleled connectivity to KL Central, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and various shopping, leisure and entertainment areas throughout the city.

Avenue K is an 8-level fashion and lifestyle centre which opened its doors a year ago. This stylish new retail complex provides a unique shopping and lifestyle experience, numerous restaurants, cafes, art museum, children's centre, roof garden and award winning spa, and many other services and amenities for one stop convenience.

K Residence consists of 180 units of condominiums in a 50-level tower block with its own access lobby and elevators for the exclusive use of its residents. The units offer 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, triplex and duplex penthouses. Areas range from 1,400 - 10,000 sq ft.  The price for the 2 bedroom is RM 1,550,000 (approximately USD 407,900) and the size is 1,484 sq ft (approximately 138 sq m). Construction started in July 2005 with a scheduled date for completion in December 2007 - early 2008.

Helen Watson, Milford Real Estate managing director said:

"The opportunities in this prestigious development almost passed by the GCC investors with such a high interest level in Asia at launch.  Milford has managed to secure a limited number of prime units even though 75% of the residential units have been sold. An outstanding investment, with prices from $230 per sq ft, that promises to yield rental premiums of between 8% and 10%.  This is certainly a very good return on investment". 

Jeff Yap, Director of Avenue K and K Residence said:

"We are delighted that Milford Real Estate is representing this development for us to customers in the Middle East. This is a truly unique project, facing the Petronas Twin Towers, creating a new social hub - KL's largest living room where urban lives converge to create an exciting dynamic community."
