Project Details
Located along the arterial road of Jalan Tun Razak, three28 Tun Razak nestles on a 0.76-acre of land. The modest yet modern looking apartment signifies simplicity at its best with its minimalist exterior design. Its low density status with 166 units from 22 floors shows that the development aims to bring comfort and privacy even with the city’s vibrancy right at one’s doorsteps.
The building is verging towards completion. With minimal touch ups along the way, three28 Tun Razak shows a hefty amount of labour vested throughout the construction stage. The building looks solid and almost impeccable in its workmanship. This provides buyers and future residents a solid guarantee that the development is delivering its promise as a haven in the midst of a hustling bustling metropolitan city.
Among neighbouring properties nearby are a fire station, a completed mixed development called KL Trillion, an empty land, serviced apartment Vista Damai as well as a low rise building that is rumoured to be a clubhouse with facilities that include a swimming pool and restaurants.
What catches the eye is the strong minimalistic approach taken by the development. The apartment provides basic residential needs. A swimming pool along with a wading pool, a gym, a play area and a sun deck are all available to the residents at level 5. It also holds the prayer rooms and changing rooms for residents’ accessibilities. The lobby, which is located at the ground floor comprises of the service lobby and management office. It also has three operating lifts for residents and a security centre. The multi-purpose hall that will be used to hold private functions and events is also located here.

The lobby’s exterior promises residents a welcoming ambiance especially with its water feature and a drop off driveway. Functioning facilities like a drop off driveway will eases the folks here given the fact that the development is situated next to Jalan Tun Razak and the frequency of vehicles here can escalate rapidly especially during the peak hours.
The units here range from 710 sq.ft. to 1, 625 sq.ft. Given the small structure and limited amount of units, it is great to know that there is still a good mixed of layouts offered by three28 Tun Razak.
The smallest units here range from Type D1 to D6. These units comprise of one bedroom at the size of 710 sq.ft. The great thing about these units is the fact that the master bedroom is equipped with a bath that comes along with a bathtub. At the same time, there is a powder room located near the entrance that serves as a common facility for guests and tenants. Its thoughtful approach highlights the element of privacy that is often overlooked especially when it comes to allocation of an extra bath or a powder room in small units. These units are suitable for single folks or couples who don’t really mind the constraint of space given the comfort that the units are able to provide.

Type E’s master bath (Source: http://www.tantan.com/wp-content/pdf/e-brochure/three28-tun-razak-brochure.pdf)
There are other units here that could still provide more space and rooms. Type A and Type E are the mid-ranged units that have two or more rooms. The space starts at 1, 227 sq.ft. The units consist of a master bedroom that comes with its own bath and two other bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is attached to a bath. Meanwhile, there is a third standalone bath for the convenience of tenants and guests. Units from Type E3 come with a balcony.

Meanwhile, Type A1 and A2 that are sized at 1, 227 sq.ft. and 1, 238 sq.ft. respectively, come with a private landscape. This is a great selling point especially for those who would opt for an exterior landscape instead of an extra room. Plus, the residents will get Kuala Lumpur’s skyline as their view. Wouldn’t that be worth the sacrifice?
Type C3 is a 3-bedroom unit but smaller in size than Type A or Type E (Source: http://www.tantan.com/wp-content/pdf/e-brochure/three28-tun-razak-brochure.pdf)
Type C, on the other hand has three rooms but comes in a smaller size, which is 1, 184 sq.ft. It can be the next best option for those who seek for a 3-bedroom unit but with lesser money to spend.
For units’ allocation, the facility floor situated at Level 5 has six units. Meanwhile, there are ten units on each floor, starting from level 6 right up to level 21.
Units’ specs (Source: http://www.tantan.com/wp-content/pdf/e-brochure/three28-tun-razak-brochure.pdf)
All units here are partially fitted. Kitchen consists of built-in cabinets with hob and hood as well as an oven. Meanwhile, bedrooms come with built in wardrobe and baths are equipped with electronic storage water heater. Air conditioners are provided in all living and dining areas as well as bedrooms.
Location
Jalan Tun Razak can be very daunting. It is the main connecting road encompassing most parts of Kuala Lumpur. The road itself plays a major role in providing immediate connecting routes to various destinations that include Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, Jalan Ampang, Jalan Kampung Pandan, Jalan Eaton, Jalan Selatan, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Persiaran Stonor, Jalan Semarak, Bulatan Pahang and more.
It could also bring a serious challenge to a residential development that is built by its side. Those who shuttle along the road daily would express their frustration with the constant jams faced especially during the rush hour. With the upsurge of vehicles as well as office buildings and residential properties nearby, there is a need to mitigate such horrendous traffic immediately.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has recently announced a remedy that will potentially end such bottlenecks. Jalan Tun Razak (JTR) Traffic Dispersal Project is aimed to encounter these constant tailbacks occurring along the road. The project that is approximately cost RM 900 million will start at Jalan Langgak Golf right up to Kampung Pandan roundabout. The construction will include an open cut tunnel as long as 1 to 2 km from Jalan Langgak Golf to the roundabout. The tunnel will also have direct connectivity to other main roads, which include Maju Expressway (MEX), SMART Tunnel, Jalan Loke Yew and Jalan Sungai Besi.
More relating to the development, Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz explains:
“The connectivity will be to the new developments such as the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), which is expected to be completed in 2018,” he said.
He said there would also be direct and uninterrupted access via a ramp from Jalan Bukit Bintang to Jalan Tun Razak.
“Lane-widening and resurfacing works will take place along JTR to ease the south-bound traffic flow,” he elaborated.
The project would take 13 months to complete as works on all roads involved will be carried out concurrently. Hopefully, the project will be completed by Q3 2018.

The place is known to host hockey and football tournaments. But the real gem is the clubhouse’s restaurant. The restaurant serves the best Punjabi dishes in Kuala Lumpur. A hot cup of Punjabi tea along with great chapati served with vegetarian dhal, this would definitely make anybody’s day.
- Songket– This is among KL’s finest Malay restaurants that aims to elevate the status of Malay cuisine. Malay cuisine, in general is known to be cheap and is categorised as a commoner’s food. Songket, on the other hand adds on a touch of elegance in the cuisine and redefining it as fine dining. The restaurant also provides traditional showcases for diners. A great place for expats to get a taste of the local delicacies as well as immersing in the local culture.

Foodies wouldn’t need to travel far to get the best catch as this restaurant has been serving top seafood cuisines for decades.

By the way, diners would not only be gastronomically feasted but they would be entertained with the mesmerising view of Suria KLCC while dining here. The restaurant can be found along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.
- Restoran Kampung Pandan– Situated along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, the restaurant claims to have the best fish head curry in town. And many would echoed the restaurant’s bold statement. A famous mamak restaurant that opens around the clock as it serves up breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course supper. The flow of patrons just never ends.
Jalan Tun Razak is definitely the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The area is strategic but given the congestion, it might make people feel slightly doubtful in residing along this road. Traffic can be a nightmare on a daily basis. Thankfully DBKL is coming up with a speedy solution in mitigating the congested traffic flow. By implementing Jalan Tun Razak (JTR) Traffic Dispersal Project, the city hall hopes that such bottlenecks will decline.
Meanwhile, construction works on residential and mixed developments are mounting within the area especially along the road itself and its neighbouring road, Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. It can be a headache. As for immediate solution, residents would have to be tolerant with it for another few years.
