Project Details
When completed by 2020, serviced apartment Hampton Damansara stands 43 storeys high – with the Damansara-Puchong Highway or (LDP) in full view and heavily-forested hill (where high-end Country Heights Damansara resides) on the other.
Hampton Damansara’s 924 sq ft show unit
Set on freehold land 3.2 acres in size, there will be two residential towers at Hampton Damansara – known simply as Block A and Block B. Perched on a 7-storey podium parking facility, these residential towers are actually only 35 storeys in height – offering 11 units on every floor. In Block B, at this point in writing, is open to registrants.
Refrigerator and cabinets
There are, altogether, 700 units housed in both towers. All units are semi-furnished with kitchen cabinets (hood and hob), and rather surprisingly, Electrolux-branded refrigerator, microwave oven, and washing machine! All master bedrooms come with enclosed wardrobe, while plaster ceiling cover the whole unit and pre-installed water heater in bathrooms.
Bathroom faucets in the 924 sq ft show unit are by leading European brand name for sanitary fittings – GROHE
Unlike bigger units, a 915 sq ft apartment unit at Hampton Damansara is located adjacent to the building’s lifts. This unit is priced at RM697,840 after rebates. The building’s maintenance fee is priced at RM0.40 per sq ft, which translates to RM370 (sinking fee included) every month. For each unit that is one floor higher, you need to top up RM1,000.

The maintenance fee is RM0.40 per sq ft, or RM370 per month, is a wee bit on the high side. But to be doubly sure, have a look at the proposed facilities, which are spread over 70,000 sq ft of space on the 8th floor.
Hood and hob
Hampton Damansara is probably the only high-rise residential development within its vicinity to propose a stand-out suite of facilities which include an Olympic-sized salt water swimming pool, salt water playground, salt wading pool, and crystal salt sauna. To practise your golf swing, there is even an indoor golf simulator. If golf is not your cup of tea, there’s more – aqua gym, jungle gym, and glass box gym. These are all gyms operating under differing concepts and capacity.
Other facilities include a half basketball court, Jacuzzi, reflexology path, outdoor and indoor exercise area, forest amphitheatre, Yoga area, salon, nursery, linear park, and Hybrid car charger, just to name a few. With an uncommon suite of facilities, the maintenance fee seems justifiable.
Location
Hampton Damansara’s Location Map
Hampton Damansara is the property name for two 43-storey high serviced apartment development near Country Heights Damansara. At this point in writing, there are three existing access points leading into Country Heights Damansara. The first access road is after you make your payment at the Penchala toll plaza from Kepong heading towards Bandar Utama. The second entryway is from Kampung Sungai Penchala. The third access is from Damansara Perdana.
The Google Map above pinpoints the site of Hampton Damansara. This means that the high-rise property’s most obvious access road is directly linked to LDP – at the Penchala toll plaza opposite Flora Damansara apartment buildings.
The location of Hampton Damansara is next to an immediate turn-off (after the toll heading towards Bandar Utama) from LDP, which is the same road that leads into Country Heights Damansara. Occupying a 3.2-acre plot of freehold land in between LDP and Persiaran Tecoma, Hampton Damansara is surrounded by apartment building Flora Damansara, Sunway SPK Damansara and the exclusive 398-bungalow enclave of Country Heights Damansara.

What you need to do is merge into the inner most left lane. After doing this, you should be able to see a non-imposing sign that reads: Country Heights. Head left into a turn off that leads into the guardhouse of the gated and guarded and well-secluded 398-bungalow enclave of Country Heights Damansara, spanning some 200 acres.

Unlike the mixed-integrated development of Empire City (located 5 minutes away), this means that Hampton Damansara will be a standalone high-rise property in its vicinity with direct highway access to LDP.

Accessibility is not exactly Hampton Damansara’s strongest point, despite its strategic location. Assuming you are going home to Hampton Damansara, the closest access road is after you make a payment at the Penchala Toll Plaza.

The only drawback to this depends on which direction you are coming from. For those approaching the Penchala toll plaza from Kepong, do pay at the toll booth at the furthest left lane of the toll.
The Bandar Utama MRT Line 1 Station is 10 minutes away via LDP
Shopping malls that are nestled within a 10-kilometre radius are IPC Shopping Centre, AEON MaxValue Desa Park, IKEA, The CURVE, Hartamas Shopping Centre, 1Utama Shopping Centre and Atria Shopping Gallery. In terms of leisure, a handful of golf clubs and driving ranges are within reach including Bandar Utama Golf Course, Sri Selangor Golf Club, Valencia Golf Club, and Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.
In the mostly residential Damansara Utama, there is KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital. Within the self-containing township of Desa ParkCity, there is ParkCity Medical Centre. Last but not least, inside the close-knit community of Mont’ Kiara there is Global Doctors Specialist Hospital and Global Doctors Clinic.
Due to Hampton Damansara’s proximity to existing and established residential domains, government schools and international are plenteous. Among some of the more well-known and popular schools are Sekolah Menengah Bandar Utama (4), Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Chinese) Puay Chai, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bandar Utama (2), The International School at Desa ParkCity, The British International School of Kuala Lumpur, IGB International School, and First City University College (formerly KBU International College).

Analysis
Price Analysis
| Name of Development | Land Tenure | Approximate Price per sq ft | Maintenance Fee | Size of Units | Selling price |
| Glomac Centro V, Bandar Utama | Leasehold | RM750 psf | RM 0.35 psf | 560 – 1,100 sq.ft. | Starts from RM589,680++ |
| Reflection Residences, Mutiara Damansara | Freehold | RM750 psf | RM0.35 psf | 1,092 – 1,705 sq.ft. | Starts from RM940,000++ |
| Hampton Damansara | Freehold | RM750 psf | RM0.40 psf | 915 sq ft – 2,009 sq ft | Starts from 686,250++ |
An initial per sq ft price of RM750 for units at Hampton Damansara is considerably on par with a couple of high-rise properties in the close by communities of Mutiara Damansara, Damansara Perdana, Bandar Utama. What seems to justify the higher maintenance fee of RM0.40 per sq ft, is an impressive list of in-house facilities.
Summary
Hampton Damansara is close by to various retail and commercial destinations in Bandar Utama, Mutiara Damansara, and Damansara Perdana. These places are just 5 minutes to 10 minutes’ drive away. The good thing is that you don’t have to pay the toll to go home, because the development is located before the toll to Kepong. The not-so-good thing is the usual traffic bottlenecks at toll plazas.
At this point in writing, the number of access roads that eventually lead into the Hampton Damansara is still not clear cut. However, the good news is that this high-rise development is located very close to the Bandar Utama MRT Line 1 station, which will be up and running by the time Hampton Damansara is completed. It’s your call.
