Seri Ampang Hilir’s unique entrance

This is a development where money is not an issue for the buyers. The posh and prestigious atmosphere is simply dominating especially for passers-by of Jalan Ampang Hilir. Despite the rapid development, the area still exudes privacy and serenity among its lush green trees. One would also be amazed at the up and coming developments that are able to squeeze into the area given the balance of land left.

Seri Ampang Hilir is yet again another prestigious development by Tan & Tan, which is famously known for high-end residential projects such as three28 Tun Razak, G Residence, Damai 15 and more. It is not surprising that such upscale residential development shows touches of sophistication and elegance as those are the developer’s trademarks.

Seri Ampang Hilir in generally is a 3-block condominium with a total of 40 units as two units are located on each floor. Each block is 10 storeys high. There are a couple of units that are up for grabs and these units are mostly the penthouses located on the highest floors of the development.

For the convenience of guests, there is powder room located on the lower floor. The layout of the unit is column free with minimal partitions that highlights its spaciousness. Fluidity of space is a result of the column free interior that encourages residents to be more bold and daring in designing the interior of their home.

Natural lighting from the sun flows seamlessly in from the balcony and the kitchen providing a sense of natural ambience. Plus, the kitchen here is massive as it is equipped with a yard that can be converted into a wet kitchen. There’s a utility room located near the yard. This room can be converted into a maid’s quarters given the access to its own private bath. This is among the units that are located on the highest floor of level 8 and 9.

Location

Seri Ampang Hilir nestles in a serene compound located along Jalan Ampang Hilir. The enviable area is an elite neighbourhood that mostly consists of high-end low density apartments that only a few could afford. Green sceneries exude a welcoming ambiance to those who call the area home.

The current state of the development as buyers have moved in

Shady roads with lush greens

Jalan Ampang Hilir is well linked to numerous main roads in Kuala Lumpur. One can find themselves along Jalan Ampang via Persiaran Ampang Hilir. This would then lead residents to the centre of the city within less than ten minutes. Entry and exit points to AKLEH and DUKE are located within and around Jalan Ampang and Jalan Jelatek. For those heading to DUKE, you can take Jalan Jelatek from Jalan Ampang. The entrance to DUKE is located before entering Jalan Setiawangsa. MRR2 is also accessible via Jalan Ampang. Meanwhile, Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Pahang are within a short drive.

Constructions can be a nightmare

There is an ongoing construction of an elevated intersection at Jalan Ampang. The crossroads will be built in between Jalan Ampang and Jalan Jelatek. The extension hopes to provide more options for commuters heading in and out of Jalan Ampang. This is great news in mitigating and reducing tailbacks that often occur along the road. The construction is expected to complete in 2017.

seri ampang site 6IMG_8631

Alternative routes due to constructions

Living within the reach of the city centre does give numerous advantages. Many would rejoice to the fact that some Kuala Lumpur’s grand commercial malls are close by! For those with the need to shop, destinations are limitless.

Intermark… A place of work and shopping

seri ampang site 13IMG_6699

Great Eastern Mall is the closest mall to Ampang Hilir

  • Suria KLCC– Accessible by AKLEH or ride on straight onto Jalan Ampang up to Persiaran KLCC. It would only take you less than 5 minutes to get to KLCC. If you are planning to avoid the hassle of finding a place to park, just hop on the train at Jelatek LRT Station or Ampang Park LRT Station to get there!
  • Pavilion Mall and Star Hill Gallery– This is another prime destination for those who are into branded items and luxury goods. You can either walk via the covered walk that is attached to KLCC or take a Monorail there.
  • Great Eastern Mall– Great Eastern Mall is a rather subdued mall in the sense of stature and shopping options. But it has become a favourite destination for many expats and locals who are living around the area. It provides basic amenities such as Cold Storage, KizSports & Gym (an indoor playground that also offers pre-school education, ballet, gymnastic as well as Taekwondo classes) as well as fitness centres such as Body Logic, Studio E and BODYTONE.
  • Intermark– This is another convenient place to go for a quick bite or provision shopping. Attached to Hilton’s Doubletree, Intermark caters to both working folks and families. Weekends would be the best time to head on there as there are ample parking spaces and of course, the food court is empty! Plus, the Jaya Grocer here caters to the foreign pool of consumers with a great selection of good imported products and produce.

Jalan Ampang Hilir as mentioned is slightly secluded from the eyes of many but its location is extremely nearby to various amenities. Residents are merely minutes away from the amenities below:

  • Gleneagles Intan Medical Center, Ampang via Jalan Ampang
  • Prince Court Medical Centre, Kia Peng via Jalan Tun Razak

Oldie but goodie. Victoria Station Steak House is still going strong along Lorong Nibong

seri ampang site 12IMG_6716

The Balcony is well-hidden along Lorong Nibong

Do check out the other unique and hidden gems around the area.

  • Lorong Nibong’s Restaurants Galore- This tiny lane along Jalan Ampang promises great gastronomy adventure for food enthusiasts. Diverse cuisines with unique ambiance especially during the nights. Among the restaurants here are Victoria Station, Kobe Restaurant and Bar, The Balcony Bar & Grill, Sahara Tent and La Mexicana
  • Pasaraya Hock Choon– This mart has been around for decades and it is among the oldest grocery stores in Kuala Lumpur. It has all the basic necessities as well as imported goods from far and wide. It might need a fixer upper but the items sold here are imported and rare.
  • Little Korea (Ampang)– There is a specialised Korean area that is fondly called Little Korea. They have countless Korean restaurants including Korea Gomonae (Jalan Mamanda 3), Gangnam Gindap (Jalan Mamanda 3), Hanwoori Korean Restaurant (Jalan Ampang Utama 1/1), Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant (Jalan Ampang Putra) and Chun Wa Dae (Jalan Ampang Utama). Besides that, it also caters to the Korean community’s education needs. These include ESLANDA International Academy, an English learning centre as well as Malaysia Korean Kumdo Dojang, a martial art institute.
  • Discovery Pilates Studio via Lorong Nibong- Health enthusiasts can just head on down to the studio for some Pilates sessions to unwind from their daily work schedule. What makes this studio a stand out is how serene the ambiance is especially in the early mornings. A great relaxation for both body and mind.

Swaziland Embassy is located nearby

seri ampang site 16IMG_6554

The Italian embassy is nearby

The area is the hub of the international community as there are at least 50 embassies scattered around Jalan Ampang and its inner routes that include Jalan Ampang Hilir, Jalan Madge and Jalan U-Thant. It also indicates a massive presence of the expat community. Among the embassies here are:

  • Embassy of Switzerland
  • Embassy of the Union of Myanmar
  • Embassy of Italy
  • Embassy of Swaziland
  • Embassy of Nigeria
  • Bangladesh High Commission
  • High Commission of Kenya
  • Embassy of the United Arab Emirates
  • The People’s Bureau of the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
  • High Commission of Republic of Ghana
  • Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North)

On the downside, people from various nationalities can often be seen around the area due to the location of these embassies. At times, they would come in big groups and that could be a hindrance to vehicles commuting around here.

seri ampang site 7IMG_8604

Seri Hening is among the many low density apartments around the area

Ampang Hilir is definitely a low rise residential development haven. There isn’t any high-rise and high density condominium in sight. The existing condominiums here such as Seri Hening Residence, Katana II, Ampang Hilir Tara, Iringan Hijau Condominium and Brunsfield Embassyview are all low density in status. Nonetheless, the competition can be fierce given the wide selection of residential property around that are within the same price bracket.
