One of the last few residential development plots in the popular Sunway Damansara is now being cleared to make way for development. Earlier earmarked as condo development, it looks like SunCity is instead going for Bungalows development. A call to the Sunway Damansara sales office confirmed this, but no official wording yet.

The plot of land, which is located at the very end of the road leading to Parkville Garden Townhouses, as well as Sunway Damansara Technology Park, seems a bit odd for a residential development due to its very close proximity with the Technology Park. However, it does face the hill - so there would be some sort of greenery there to offset this. More information will be posted once this is confirmed.

About few weeks back, me and a few mates managed to sneak into the then-yet-to-be-opened showroom of Palazzio Sunway, one of the more iconic looking condo buildings sprouting up over at the Sri Hartamas/Mont Kiara enclove. We actually had a peek before it’s official launch in Malaysia which was this week…have intended to post the photos but time was just not on my side.

The photos (after the jump) I got are of Type A (3336 sf). The show unit actually appeared to be smaller than what I would imagine a 3000+ sf would feel. I attribute this to the rather large wet kitchen and laundry area, as well as the huge lift lobby which is rather unneccesary (not to mention you would be paying service charge for this area even though it may be the least used area!). Also the rather bulky interior renovation didn’t really help. However, the apliances provided are really top notch and the views are not too bad either. The wrapping balconies is really a nice touch. All units of Palazzio face the hilly sides with a playground in front. The orientation of the building is designed to maximise the green views. I know there are power cables running at the back but somehow that is rather irrelevant as all units will not be facing the power lines at all (save for a some bedrooms). So I didn’t find that a huge negative point.

Sunway Vivaldi, an avant-garde development by one of Malaysia’s most influential developers, Sunway City Berhad (SunCity), is now available for sale in Hong Kong. SunCity is a publicly listed Malaysian company armed with numerous international awards and accolades. Colliers International has arranged several seminars and an exhibition for this brand new residential project by SunCity at Mandarin Oriental Hotel from 18 to 20 April 2008.

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!
