Project Details

the manor 14IMG_1781

The architect’s model of the end product of the majestic The Manor .

This is a posh establishment and the developer is lavishing out on details and finishing. That’s a guarantee from the developer’s end. Walls and flooring will be covered in marbles. Other than that, the baths and kitchen will be utilising porcelain tiles to enhance its sophistication.

The current state of The Manor

All units are partially furnished. Kitchen is fully equipped and this include built in cabinets, ovens as well as hob and hood. Water heater will be installed in all baths. Air conditioners are provided in all bedrooms, living and dining areas. Well, the rest is up to the residents themselves. It is indeed an advantage of having these units as partially furnished as residents are still able to give their respective home an unique identity on its own. Why spend the big bucks when all of the units’ interior would look alike? Thus, The Manor represents more than just a great place to stay but freedom to do what you want to do in order to call it a home!

the manor 25IMG_1699

Construction in progress

There will only be six units on each floor with personal lift lobby. Well, there is no need to rush for your ride down and do enjoy the exclusivity of the establishment. Privacy is certainly something that the developer is banking on.

The views are said to be spectacular! Type A and C will be looking at the ever-evolving view of Kuala Lumpur. The view has always been money for property developers. And capitalising on The Manor’s location in the city centre, buyers will indeed be paying for the majestic views of Suria KLCC, KL Tower and Pavilion. Meanwhile, Type B has the more subdued yet picturesque view of the Royal Selangor Golf Club. It might be cheaper comparatively speaking but Type B will be facing matured property in the likes of the well-established golf club. This itself is a reassuring factor that there won’t be any new development in the nearest future.

Lo and behold, The Manor will provide services as similar to a hotel to its residents. Alorie Hotels and Resorts will carry out the hospitality services. Fear not, they will cater to almost everything upon the request of the residents that include grocery shopping services, room service, meal deliveries, business centre services, laundry and dry cleaning services with pickup and delivery as well as housekeeping. What a relief to all homemakers living here. There is also a 24-hour reception with concierge services. Security is around the clock with a closed circuit surveillance. That would keep the residents safe and sound!

It also comes with one bedroom that is attached to a bathroom

Type A is considered the main selling unit at The Manor as it consists of 72 units from the overall units allocation. Sized at 3, 768 sq.ft., it has four bedrooms along with a study area and a utility that will often be converted into the maid’s quarters. Other than that, it offers six bathrooms as each room has its own bath and this include the utility room. There is also a powder room for residents’ guests. Type A is a dual key concept. The larger unit is more than 2, 000 sq.ft. while the other living area is at 1, 000 sq.f.t. What is interesting that the smaller living area is equipped with its own kitchen, living/dining area and a bedroom that could suggest a renting opportunity to those who are purchasing these units. One can keep the larger space as a home while renting the smaller living unit. Or perhaps just rent out both living areas to two separate tenants. Keen buyers of Type A would be glad to know that Type C shares similar features as A. It is sized slightly smaller at 3, 303 sq.ft. without a study area. It is also a dual key unit and the same renting method can be applied to Type C.

Type B is the smallest unit at The Manor

The smallest unit will be Type B. Sized at 2, 426 sq.ft., keen buyers would still be able to purchase these units below RM 3 mio. There are some units left and these remaining units are all located at the lower floors. Type B has three bedrooms with a utility room that can be converted into a maid’s quarters. It also comes with a bath attached to it. All rooms are interlinked with baths meanwhile guests would be able to utilise a stand-alone powder room.

Location

Location is everything in Kuala Lumpur. Given the exclusive status of The Manor and a glance at its selling price, Perisaran Stonor fits the bill in imposing the luxurious and elite price tags to those who could afford living it big, in the city.

The Manor’s location (Source www.themanor.com)

The interconnected roads of Jalan Stonor, Jalan Conlay and Jalan Kia Peng are now the ‘it’ address when it come to building living pads for the extremely rich folks. Well connected to other routes and major roads, Persiaran Stonor is accessible to Jalan Tun Razak that eventually leads to Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail. It also provides an escape route of Jalan Stonor that leads to Persiaran KLCC , away from the traffic madness of Jalan Tun Razak.

Welcome to Jalan Tun Razak

The area that was once known as the sleepy and shaded area of Kuala Lumpur, has a handful of exclusive residential developments built around this secluded and private area. It is even the home to various Malaysian royalties as it provides sanctuary and privacy within the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur. Istana Perlis, Istana Terengganu, Istana Johor and Seri Kelantan are all nestling in the comfort of this area till to this very day. That itself proves how prestigious the area is.

the manor 5IMG_1688

Among the royal residences, Istana Terengganu nestling within the area for years

As a metropolitan city that strives on evolution and rapid development, areas such as Stonor, Kia Peng and Conlay are now deemed as the next ‘go to’ location in building exclusive residences with hefty price tags. Most of the new developments are now towering at least 30 storeys highs and more are being built in catering to the demands of the property market. Be it as home or investment, this area is a guaranteed success for developers.

Since it is the ‘it’ area, amenities are everywhere and shopping is endless too.

The residents would be pampered with countless of shopping outlets from posh to quirky designer wears. Suria KLCC is merely minutes away from The Manor. You could either ride along Jalan Tun Razak or opt for the inner routes of Jalan Stonor. From there, your option to shop is limitless. Pavillion is within ten minutes walk via the covered walkway built through KLCC and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Residents could venture off to Fahrenheit 88 and Starhill Gallery of Bukit Bintang or even Sungai Wang for more shopping galore.

Low Yatt Plaza is another viable option if one is in the mood for some gadget shopping. These are indeed the usual lures for touristy activities and perhaps it could tempt the Middle Eastern folks to take up a unit here at The Manor.

the manor 1IMG_1681

PCMC is merely three minutes away via driving

Prince Court Medical Centre is just minutes away from the establishment. Another alternative to PCMC would be Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre, which is a short driving distance along the roads of Jalan Tun Razak. There’s even the Twin Towers Medical Centre, a popular option among the expats and tourists in attending to their mild medical needs. Plus, it is located in KLCC. Perhaps a shopping spree after getting some medical attention?

There are several prestigious schools located around the area that include Iraq School, Sayfol International School, Taylor’s International School, Alice Smith School, International Modern Arabic School Kindergarten and Lower Primary as well as International School of Kuala Lumpur. Even Eton House, an elite preschool is located right opposite of The Manor.

With numerous schools with Arabic as the main medium of teaching accessible in this area, it will definitely hit all the right notes among the Middle Eastern folks who love nestling here in Kuala Lumpur.

Mass Rapid Transit 2 (MRT Line 2) will soon be constructed within the area. The MRT Line 2 will be cutting through the area via underground. There would be a few stations accessible to the residents including Conlay Station, KLCC East Station and Ampang Park Station. The construction of the MRT Line 2 is expected to complete in 2020. That would be at least another two years after The Manor’s completion. But for the time being, residents would have to walk all the way to Ampang Park Station for the nearest train commute.

The High Commission of the Republic of Singapore is among the congregation of embassies nearby

There is a congregation of embassies surrounding The Manor. These include Embassy of Japan and High Commission of the Republic of Singapore that are neighbours to The Manor. Meanwhile, the British High Commission and Embassy of United States are located across Jalan Tun Razak from The Manor.

Love thy neighbour? Perhaps it is not a bad idea to know who are your potential neighbours around Persiaran Stonor. Suria Stonor is located right next to The Manor. Meanwhile other established residential properties including Stonor Park, 3 Kia Peng, 1a Stonor and Ampersand are within minutes away. These are all classy and high-end apartments. In fact, The Manor would blend in splendidly in the companion of these posh residential properties.

the manor 6IMG_1694

More developments are mushrooming within Stonor-Kia Peng-Conlay area

There are even a couple developments in the midst of construction nearby. These include Stonor 3 and The Grid, which will be completed at the same time as The Manor. These developments’ units are smaller in size and perhaps cheaper but not as exclusive as The Manor in terms of the hotel like services.

Summary

The price tag shouldn’t be a problem if you have a bank with loads of money. The Manor stands for prestige and luxury living in Malaysia. And those who seek for such living, The Manor fits the bill. Its attention to space would also draw many to reside at The Manor. Many would sigh at the fact that condominiums in the city centre are often faced with limited space. The Manor, on the other hand proves cynics that bigger space is possible given the extra cash.

For those seeking a place to invest, this is the place for you. The allure of the place itself would bring in the expats or folks from the Middle East to rent a unit here.  In fact, those from the Middle East should snap a unit or two and make it into their home away from home during their summer break.
