Curvo Residences is the final residential phase of the first integrated development in Setapak, SkyArena.

SkyArena spans across 28 acres of prime inner city real estate. The project promotes a truly healthy lifestyle, which consists of different unique components – Residences, Sports and Commercial. It is seamlessly integrated to create a safe, exciting and multi-faceted community.

Phase 1, Ascenda Residences was launched in 2014 and handed over in 2017. Phase 2, Bennington Residences was launched in 2016 and handed over in 2019 subsequently. The final residential phase (phase 3) is Curvo Residences, with its brand new healthy living, healthy building concept.

The name Curvo is actually an acronym for Connectivity, Urbanity, Recreation, Versatility, and Oasis. The developer intends to infuse various health and sustainability features to bring the Curvo concept to life. Kindly refer to the next section (Project Details) for further details on these unique features.

In line with concept, the development will be designed based on the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi. Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, describes it as the art of finding beauty in the imperfection of nature, and of accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay. The word “Wabi” is from the root “wa” which refers to harmony, peace, tranquility, and balance. It plainly connotes imperfection and simplicity. “Sabi” by itself is expressed by the effect of time on an object.

Just like a Wabi-Sabi artwork, Curvo Residences will feature strong burnt terracotta lines, exuding subtle boldness and elegance. The facade aims to strike a balance between two differently-shaped towers, with a play on depth and protrusions while concealing the verticality of the building.

Thoughtful Touches at Curvo Residences

  • Breathable Floors – North-South orientation; full daylighting and ventilation.
  • Lift Intelligent Group Control System – This system controls the vertical movement with real-time traffic analysis based on accumulated data, past and present data, including the future trajectory of traffic demand on passenger travel pattern, volume and time, in order to shorten passenger wait time and reducing the probability of a long wait.

Analysis

Setapak is a densely populated neighbourhood, with a mix of old and new residential and commercial properties. It has grown steadily to become one of the hotspots for properties in Kuala Lumpur.

01_Aerial View_preview (1)

Largely, this could be due to its proximity to the Kuala Lumpur city centre, and relatively affordable property prices. Plus, there’s the upcoming MRT Line 3, which will enhance Setapak’s connectivity, linking it to growth areas including the Tun Razak Exchange, Mid Valley City, and KL Sentral.

According to Savills, the upcoming MRT Line 3, which has a proposed station in Air Panas, along with Setapak’s rapid urbanisation has led to growing demand for residential properties in the area.

Here’s a quick look at residential properties in or close to Setapak.
