The data reflects a drop in asking prices.

There is no Index for KLCC condos (that I know of).

So I created one, using five Condos of different sizes in the KLCC area.

 

This new Index shows a drop of about 6.5% from the Sept/Oct. Peak.

This represents asking prices, and so the actual transactions prices are likely to be lower,

perhaps by 5-10% or more

K Residence, KLCC (188 units, mostly large)

K Residence is a 50-storey tower, which is Malaysia's first and tallest luxury condominium. It offers 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, duplex and triplex penthouse units just right across the road to Petronas Twin Towers.

K Residence is one of the most luxurious and expensive condominiums in the KLCC vicinity which was developed by KL Landmark. The exterior of the building is covered with very posh and huge glass windows. Overall, it seems to be a friendly intimidation with an added class.

K Residence has the total Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM480.3 million, and each individual investment value ranges from RM1 million to RM10 million. With Suria KLCC mall so conveniently nearby and Avenue K just right underneath, it is an experience where one could enjoy the cosmopolitan lifestyle.

For those concerned with security, residents at K Residence have their own discreet entrance via Jalan Mayang, which has a 4-tier security access, starting from the car park all the way to the door steps of the residences. K Residence is serviced by six single deck high-speed elevators as well as a heavy-duty service lift.

And an older property - with Low denisty :
1A Stonor, KLCC - ex Conlay Court (97 units)
1A_Stonor_thumb.JPG

1A Stonor is a low rise and low density condominium located at the junction of Jalan Stonor and Jalan Conlay. It was formerly known as Conlay Court. Among its immediate neighbours are Perbadanan Kemajuan Kraftangan Malaysia, Badan Warisan Malaysia, Sarawak Foundation (Yayasan Sarawak) and Istana Kelantan.

1A Stonor comprises of 3 condominium blocks with a total of 97 units with built-up areas from 615 to 1,444 sf. Each block consists of 8 to 10 floors. It features glass lift, letting you enjoy panoramic view of the city centre while heading to your unit.

Amenities surrounding the area are very colorful. There are several shopping malls within the area. Suria KLCC, Avenue-K and Pavilion are just within walking distance from 1A Stonor. Also, you can drive several meters from the condominium to several other shopping malls such as Lot 10, Times Square, Sg Wang Plaza, BB Plaza and Low Yat Plaza to fulfill your shopping lust.

There are also several hotels located nearby, namely Prince Hotel, Traders Hotel, JW Marriot Hotel and Westin Hotel. Within short walking distance, you can reach Seri Melayu Restaurant that serves Malay delicacies, and Hakka Restaurant which specializes on Chinese cuisine. Conlay Club is also within short walking distance

 

Analysis

One of the drawbacks of 1A Stonor is its maintenance fee, which is very high at RM0.58 psf considering its age and so-so maintenance delivered. This is the cost of low density residential has to be bear by the owners. It is even more expensive than most of new and high-end condominiums within the enclave. Most new high rise residency in the area charge the owners RM0.35 psf and above for the maintenance fee. This expensive fee is a huge turn-off for investors and buyers to own a unit here.

There are massive residential developments in KLCC enclave which mostly are high density condominiums. Most are to be completed by the end of 2009, including One KL and The Troika. 1A Stonor is one of the lowest density residential developments in the area. Other low density developments are The Avare (78 units), One KL (94 units), 2 Hampshire (93 units), Taragon Puteri YKS (32 units) and Ampersand (71 units).

1A Stonor is a great residential for single expatriates to call home. But it does not seem suitable for a family due to its small built-ups. Plus, the enclave itself seems not appropriate for a family living due to lack of amenities to raise family.

Marc Residences:

 

 

Analysis

In terms of location, Marc Service Residence is situated at a hot spot of Kuala Lumpur, but that would equals to having difficulties going in and out of the condominium. This is because of the congested traffic in KLCC where hundreds of cars will be roaming the streets daily. So, unless you are working nearby, Marc Service Residence is not the perfect location for one that works far from KLCC.

If you are looking for a condominium that is cheap, then Marc Service Residence is definitely not up for your choice. The reason being, the subsale price as of September 2014 starts at RM1,300,000 just for the Studio unit. Thus, bigger units must definitely be undeniably expensive. Renting a unit would cost about RM3,000 or more for a 1-room studio unit, and a whopping RM20,000 for a luxurious 4-room penthouse. This condominium probably targets high-end buyers and investors.

Those who bought Marc Service Residence when it was first completed had a better deal at about RM700 psf developer's price, which is an impossible price now. In 2007, this condominium managed to secure fifth place in the top ten most expensive developments in Kuala Lumpur.
