The development has several features, Chiau says, with the main one being the retail component that is scattered over four floors to create a conducive environment for a lifestyle gastronomy experience. The developer will keep the retail lots in order to control the tenant mix.

“With 20,000 sq ft allocated for a gourmet grocer, a rooftop bar and an al fresco dining area, we are creating an environment that encourages social interaction and community building,” he says.

Another feature of the development are the facilities, including a pet-friendly area where beloved furbabies and so on can roam freely, as well as the child-centric ones such as the swimming pool with water play features and the children’s jungle gym. Other facilities include a parcourse, infinity pool, parcel room, children’s playground, jogging track, Jacuzzi, gymnasium, barbecue area and electric vehicle charging area.

The indicative maintenance fee, including the sinking fund, is 35 sen psf. 

The project is scheduled to be completed in 2Q2028.

Each unit will have a bay window and a balcony. Purchasers can choose to have the balcony attached to the living room and put the bay window in the master bedroom, or vice versa.

Chiau says that since the development’s soft launch in September, the company has received more than 200 bookings for Block A.

“We want to have a differentiation. The location is surrounded by commercial shoplots so we don’t want to do another typical serviced apartment … That’s why we took some risks and [designed the retail lots over four floors]. Also, instead of a playroom, we are differentiating ourselves with a jungle gym,” he says.

“Avantro Residences’ distinctive and iconic façade will make it stand out and add a new kind of beauty to the neighbourhood. We have a high level of confidence in selling out Avantro Residences, firmly grounded on the unique features and selling points that set this development apart [from others].”

Avantro Residences @ Bandar Kinrara is also a transit-oriented development, with the Kinrara BK5 LRT station just 180m away. Located within the mature township of Bandar Kinrara, it is also near commercial centres with shops offering various services and conveniences.

It is also connected to various highways, such as Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil, Maju Expressway, Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway, Lebuhraya Shah Alam, Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong and New Pantai Expressway.
