It is secluded yet strategically located nearby to main amenities around the city centre. Due to its appealing nature of the location, indeed developers are taking the chances in creating world class and prestigious developments in the form of serviced apartments and condominiums.
The RuMa is truly riding high on such advantage. Built 40 storeys high on an acre of land, The RuMa will emerge as a hotel and a serviced residence that highlights life living to the fullest and grandest as all needs will be catered for.
This is the place where leisure meets the cosmopolitan life of KL. Facilities that will be made available here are indeed made by the best in order to serve the residents at the very top level.

It has a canopy walkway set in this thick lowland dipterocarp forest covering 9.37 hectares smacked right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
- Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) – This would be another eye catching future development in making Kuala Lumpur as a competitive metropolitan city in the world. It is a 19.4 hectare of integrated development that includes commercial centres and residential hub.
There are a couple of existing high-end apartments nearby. 1A Stonor, Park Seven, Suria Stonor, Stonor Park, De Pearl and Ampersand. Mostly are low rise buildings. It is also a well-known fact that this area is hosting several high-end and ground breaking developments. The Peak @ KLCC, 8 Conlay, The Manor and Stonor 3 are rising steadily.
