VERVE Suites KL South: A standard set.

As mentioned, VERVE Suites KL South unique selling point is its ‘Sky Bridge’, setting a new standard to Old Klang Road.

Imagine that. A bridge in the sky. A bridge for the sky. A bridge that makes other existing bridges look pale in comparison and will accordingly turn any acrophobic pale. Named ‘The Vercadicos’ and inspired by The Arkadiko, one of the world’s oldest bridges that connects two ancient cities, it is located on Level 13A of the two buildings and is 20 feet in height (around 6.1 meters) and 200 feet in length (around 61 meters).

The Sky Bridge houses the likes of a spacious Sky Gym, Combat/Yoga Zone and Energy Bar area that can easily house a huge crowd at any given time, and a scenic Bridge Walk and Bridge Lounge that ends in a Chill Zone perfect for relaxing and mingling around. The VERVE Suites Mont’Kiara’s crowd-pleaser, the Theatrette, is also brought into KL South and preserving the same concept i.e. no private session and the management will arrange the movies so as not to infringe copyright issues. Residents can use the Sky Kitchen & Sky Diner for free under the condition that they have to book with, and pay the management a certain amount of damage deposits which will be returned only if the residents were to keep a good condition of the facilities while using them.

And the facilities don’t end there. There are three additional levels of facilities apart from the Sky Bridge namely on the Ground Level where there will be an Alfresco Timber Deck, a Reflective Pond, and a Walkway Ramp; the Pool Deck at Level 2 that accommodates the likes of a Swimming Pool, Hot Spa Pool and Children Water Play Area; and the Recreational Deck at Level 3A incorporating a Garden Canopy and an Open Multi-Purpose Area among others respectively.

Seems impressive? Love them? Then be prepared to pay RM0.51 per square feet in maintenance fee and sinking fund.

The two blocks will comprise of four different types of designer suites interior design (ID), two types per floor at eight units in total per level. All come fully furnished except for the television set and mattress. Type A is called Terra Spring and is 555 square feet in built-up size, Type B is called Mulberry Stiletto and is 876 square feet in built-up size, Type C is called Summer Canvas and is 704 square feet in built-up size, while the last one Type D is called Infinity Edge and is 729 square feet in built-up size.

For Type A, Terra Spring, the theme to the interior design is “Simplicity”. The minimal colours used combined with choice textures is perfect for those who are the more down-to-earth type of person yet can appreciate life’s fine things. Although it is the smallest type at 555 square feet, the ID applied makes it look and feel bigger than that. The idea to disguise the bathroom door with the wall mirror is pretty clever as it gives off the illusion of a bigger space. The living room is separated from the bedroom by a wall, and yet for a 555 square feet space, it doesn’t feel cramped at all especially seeing how a two-seater sofa and a TV cabinet can be fitted there rather well.

For Type B, Mulberry Stiletto, the theme to the ID is “Presence”. Confident people who crave attention would certainly like this one. This is the biggest type offered at 876 square feet and may be perfect for a small modern family since there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Except for in the kitchen, this type has windows all over the unit which makes for good natural lighting. The spacious living room is a plus for some quality family time.

For Type C, Summer Canvas, the theme to the ID is “Freedom”. People who like to freely imagine life will find this one appealing. At 704 square feet it is simple, and clean, and (mostly) white. The out-of-place artistic dining chairs complement the whole light ID and the hidden second bedroom behind the dining area’s mirror wall fits well with the whole ‘Free your imagination!’ concept.

For Type D, Infinity Edge, the theme to the ID is “Explore”. Are you the kind of person who likes rusty-in-a-good-way things? Then you might wanna go for this one. It is 727 square feet in size and decorated with less mirrors than the other three types and (more) warmer, wooden textures. The secret second bedroom behind the book cabinet in the living room adds a nice touch to the whole ID.

All the units come with one or two car park bay(s) per unit and so far, 40% of the first block from phase 1 launch are already booked. Price per square feet starts from RM1,100 and there will be a RM3000 to RM4000 price difference between each floors so yeah, this development is indeed priced at a more premium rate compared to other projects in the Old Klang Road vicinity.

But then again, there are owners of VERVE Suites Mont’Kiara who became “repeat buyers” as one might call it (having bought a unit in VERVE Suites KL South) which may make one wonders: How good is BKP that it actually have devoted fans although this project is pricey and is developed on an old building – not newly built from the ground-up? You read that right. VERVE Suites KL South is a project that refurbishes an old building called Wisma Shun Li where Alamanda College used to be based. Because of that little fact, BKP is offering a two-year warranty for wiring or piping or any old-building-related defects that may arise.

The developer is also offering four different financing schemes to help buyers own a unit there namely one that helps investors reduce upfront payment cost, one that gives investors free instalment for two years, one that allows owners/investors to sell back the unit to the developer (who’s obliged to buy it!) if the market price/rental market during that time doesn’t live up as promised, and one where BKP will help yield the guaranteed rental for you for three years. Not bad, eh?

VERVE Suites KL South is the first project in Malaysia to achieve Green Mark Certification by The Building & Construction Authority (BCA), Singapore. Having such recognitions truly is a plus that may help in increasing the value of this project.
