Aura Residence, Putrajaya

Aura’s elegant and stylish facade

Alright, the first thing you should be aware of about this project is that it consists of 5 blocks of residential towers in 3 different phases. In total, there are approximately 360 units of Condominiums and Condo Villas available in this development, with more than 70% of them already sold. The ones remaining are mostly from the third phase of the project, which was just launched last year.

So, what is the difference between its Condominium units and Condo Villa units, you may ask?

Another majestic side of Aura

Well, for starters, when you have the word “Villa” in them, they would instantly sound more glamorous won’t they? Indeed they do, as the Villa towers are less dense and more refined than the Condominium towers.

At just 5 storeys tall with 25 units in each of its twin towers, you can enjoy greater comfort and privacy staying there than in its other 14 to 15 storeys condominium blocks, which are tightly fitted with 91 to 128 units each. But bear in mind though, the villa suites won’t be cheap! Thus, if you are on a tight budget and are looking for a more affordable place to stay, the better option would be to take the Condominium units.

Now that you know their pros and cons, what will your preferred unit be? Will you go for the simpler and cheaper Condominium units or the more luxurious and spacious Villa units?

Aura’s masterplan and list of facilities

Both of them might be unique in their own ways, but they ultimately share one thing in common – a full set of classy facilities and amenities! From swimming pools and children playgrounds to landscaped podium and terrace garden, you and your family can have a fun-filled time staying here whilst being accompanied by a panoramic view of the surrounding green landscapes. So, irrespective of which unit you choose, just sit back and relax as the Aura is strong with this one!

Interiors

Finally, we have arrived at the juiciest part of the review – the interiors! This is the part where you can truly embrace its warmth and serenity. As you step inside for the first time, you will encounter a very soothing aura radiating from its Zen inspired architectures. Take a closer look and you will discover that the space is well lit with sunlight and there are many wood elements incorporated into the unit.

While the designs may not appear to be too intricate, the fact is, they have been stylishly laid out to present a very practical and elegant enclosure. What’s more, partial furnishings such as air-conditioners and kitchen cabinets were also included to promote a greater sense of wholeness for the unit. Overall, thumbs up from me for the interiors as they look very earthy and cozy!

Floor Plan

For the floor plans, there are 9 different types of layouts available in Aura. The first two are Types A and B and they are exclusive to Towers A and B. While they are the smallest units available in the project with just 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a built-up area of roughly 750 sq ft, don’t be fooled by their size. They are perfectly designed to suit the needs of newlyweds or young adults who are looking to purchase their first home. They will do just fine for you and your family.

Otherwise, you might have to consider getting the Type C units instead. Like Types A and B, they are also limited to the two towers only. However, they come with an additional bedroom and bathroom and have almost twice their size at 1,231 sq ft. The best part is – they are also featured as dual key units! Hence, you have the option to use the extra space as a private room for you or your parents, or just let it out to earn some rental income.

Okay, not all of you may fancy the dual key concept. This is where you guys need to look at the other layouts such as the Types D, E and H. Basically, the trio are larger versions of Types A and B and they come with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. However, Type E has a slightly larger built-up area than the both of them at 1,138 sq ft.

If they still can’t satisfy you and your family, then the only options left are the Types F or G. The two are the largest and most premium units available in the project, and they come with a built-up area of 1,370 sq ft and 1,393 sq ft respectively, and 3+1 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. For anything else bigger, I’m afraid you’ll have to look elsewhere.
