Upscale high-rise living in a dream address

There is a general perception that high-rises are for people who can’t afford landed homes, with the latter being regarded as more spacious, more private and having bigger compounds either for gardening or extra car park space.

However, just like how working from home in your pyjamas is no longer viewed as second-class to working in the office in a suit and tie, this impression is fast changing, especially in highly-urbanised cities like Kuala Lumpur.

The fact that people have started to debate on which is better shows that vertical living is no longer the poor cousin of landed living.

Contributing to the shifting perception is of course innovative concepts like the Setia Sky Seputeh, an S P Setia project with built-ups that match, if not exceed single- or even double-storey houses.

“It is common to think that condominiums are generally small of about 1,500 sq ft. It is rather difficult to find those more than 2,000 sq ft, especially in and around the KL city centre area,” says S P Setia Divisional General Manager Paul Soh.

However, Setia Sky Seputeh offers units with spacious layouts that range from 2,303 sq ft to a generous 3,025 sq ft.

The units are aptly named Sky Suites (three unit types sized 2,303 to 2,379 sq ft), Sky Bungalows (2,616 to 2,885 sq ft) and Sky Mansions (2,971 to 3,025 sq ft).

Walking distance to Mid Valley mega mall

Setia Sky Seputeh has an address that is a dream for many. It sits on 4.4 acres of prime freehold land in Taman Seputeh, next to the popular Mid Valley City in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

Taman Seputeh is served by numerous major highways such as the Federal Highway, the New Pantai Expressway, the KL-Seremban Highway and the SPRINT Highway.

This puts Setia Sky Seputeh just 7km to the KL city centre, 1km to Mid Valley City and 3km to KL Sentral. In fact, Mid Valley is just about a 500m walk away. How about that for convenience!

The low-density freehold resort-themed project with only 290 units are housed in two residential towers. Each of the two towers is 37 storeys high. There are only four to six units on each floor, with each unit enjoying the exclusivity of a private lift lobby.

Optimum security and lifestyle

For S P Setia, safety is paramount and it remains the top priority in all its developments, stresses Paul.

In Setia Sky Seputeh, the security system comprising Vehicle Barrier Access, Access Control, Visitor Management, CCTV Surveillance, Perimeter Intrusion Detection System, and Video Intercom System is installed to closely monitor the surroundings for the residents’ utmost safety, Paul explains.

“Besides enhanced security, high-rise living offers ample facilities aimed at fostering healthy lifestyles. [Even] some landed housing projects may have clubhouses but with limited facilities. 

“What sets us apart from other high-rise or landed properties is our provision of facilities. The idea is simple; to provide residents with an array of facilities that comes with 5-star quality and finesse.

“This is why we actually have two facilities podiums – Beach Podium @ Level 7 and the Sky Rooftop Podium @ Level 36,” adds Paul.

Malaysia’s longest man-made podium beach takes the centre stage at the 1.5-acre Beach Podium, along with other other creative comforts you can find in a resort such as a cocktail bar and virtual golf room.

“The Sky Rooftop Podium is totally different, it offers Instagam-worthy spots,  entertainment lounges, gourmet dining facility, sky gym, heated aqua gym and more,” he highlights.

The wide range of facilities also include an infinity salt water pool, moonlight Jacuzzi, music room, shipwreck-themed playground, trampoline garden, fitness Gymboree, meditation garden, and male and female hot and cold spas.

“Here at Setia Sky Seputeh, we also offer panoramic views of the city and forest. Imagine the view of the city coming to life at night with city lights and skyscrapers dotting the Taman Seputeh skyline. The vista of the nearby hill adds a sense of serenity against the city’s hustle and bustle,” Paul elaborates, adding that another advantage of living in a high-rise is the presence of fewer insects.

While most condos offer only two parking spaces for every unit, Setia Sky Seputeh units come with three or four car parks placed side by side, not in tandem.

Equally noteworthy is that every owner will enjoy a 15-year subsidy on maintenance fees!

Urbanism and serenity in fine balance

Who should consider Setia Sky Seputeh?

Paul sees them in those looking at upgrading to a more discerning and comfortable lifestyle.

“Besides that, it is definitely a good choice for parents buying for their children who value luxury and privacy. Setia Sky Seputeh will also appeal very strongly to retirees wishing to enjoy the luxury of resort life in their silver years,” Paul says.

The development also caters to expatriates who are more likely to purchase properties above RM1 million.

“Its close proximity to the amenities in Mid Valley City complemented by the fine balance between urbanism and serenity makes Setia Sky

Seputeh an excellent choice for a home away from home,” he points out.

Priced from RM2.2 million onwards, the project is expected to be completed by 4Q2021.

“Setia Sky Seputeh is one of S P Setia’s projects that offers the Setia 10:90 scheme. This means buyers pay a 10% down payment and nothing else until the project is completed. Thus, homebuyers can buy some time in preparing their cash flow and save bank interest,” Paul concludes.
