Clearwater Development will be launching their next development called Clearwater Estate at Bukit Tunku, an exclusive five villas only development. Their first maiden development is Clearwater Residences in Damansara Heights, launched last year and was sold closed-door. Utilizing their best assets to promote this new development, they have of course opted to splash Dian Lee, the 24-year old daughter of property tycoon Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, on the cover of City & Country (The Edge) issue this week. She is the founding partner of Clearwater Development together with Sim Boon Yang, a Singapore-based architect. Here are some of the details of Clearwater Estate.

• Comprises five individually crafted villas, inspired by five different art movements
• Sits on 15,000sf plot, built-ups ranging from 16,000 to 19,000sf
• Each villa spread over four levels, with uninterrupted views of KL skyline
• Each villa will house six bedrooms, a covered garage, a car lift, a passegner lift, home theatre, home spa, walk-in wine cellar, a lap pool, ‘floating’ pavillions
• Launch date: 8th August 2008

Indicative price at RM1,200psf to RM1,500psf. That’s about RM20million for each villa. More photos after the jump

With Binaderas ‘ Seni Mont Kiara playing with ‘affluent’ names by naming its blocks from Monet, Mozart and what not, Suncity decides to follow the trend and name its latest offering, Sunway Vivaldi. Sunway Vivaldi is their latest condominium offering after Casa Kiara 2 and Palazzio at Sri Hartamas. The location for Sunway Vivaldi is just down the road if you are coming from Sri Hartamas side towards Mont’ Kiara side (Jalan 19/70A), right after their own Kiara Hills bungalow development. The land has been cleared for the longest time and had no activity until recently and finally the billboard was up. The development is also being launched in Hong Kong (see report below).

Location

While the immediate location is not so favourable, higher floors facing Hartamas side will definitely have unblocked views of KL city skyline and I would expect these to be priced at premium and would be the first ones to go too. The location this development is sitting is a plot where it has power lines at one side, and Penchala Link highway on the other. Having said that, with so many development popping up in Mont’ Kiara, a good view is harder to get by the day.

As with any other Sunway development, existing buyers may be entitled to the 3% rebate under its PALS programme. I will need to confirm this though. That’s all the details I have now, but will definitely pay the office a visit for a full picture, so stay tuned!

Finally a new launch to perk up the quiet property market a bit! If you have driven along Jalan Ampang before, you will probably see this rather small billboard previewing a new development around that area. I recall the façade was rather sleek, with a very contemporary and modern building with full glass façade… and now it’s finally being launched. Called Panorama, the smallest 1 bedroom unit will start at above RM 1 million!

Panorama is just about 5 minutes away from KLCC, and located right behind Hotel Corus. I have yet to visit the site but I have always liked the Hampshire area as it looks rather secluded but in actual fact it’s just a few minutes away from KLCC. More photos and layout plans after the jump.
