Serini Melawati, Kuala Lumpur

Ongoing construction works at Serini Melawati

As of now, nothing much can be seen at its construction site. According to the developer, the residential project is estimated to be completed in 2018 while the shopping centre should open its doors to the public in 2016. In this project, there will be a combined total of 528 units of service apartments for both of its residential towers. But considering the fact that the land area is only covering 3.68 acres, it seems a little dense to me. Nonetheless, 143 residential units per acres is still a reasonable figure for a city type of development. Besides, there are not many high rise residential buildings in Taman Melawati, apart from Gaya Apartments. So, you can be rest assured that the neighbourhood will not be as dense as Puchong or Old Klang Road.

An artist impression of Serini’s charming façade

One thing you will be impressed by Serini is its slick and dashing façade. Sime Darby has put a modern and classy touch into it, and it compliments perfectly with the surrounding theme and the type of urban lifestyle you are craving for. Truly a wonderful architecture from them, you will definitely find Serini a stylish place to live in.

Meanwhile, the facilities and amenities for Serini are just ‘meh’ as there are not many options available. You do have your standard wading pool, swimming pool and gymnasium, but apart from that, don’t expect anything else spectacular. Perhaps its eye of the moon is something you would fancy, if you enjoy watching a warm moonlight glowing over Serini. However, the way Serini positioned its simple but yet intricately designed deck of facilities is just masterful. They are strategically placed at the 8^th floor to provide you with an unobstructed view of Melawati and its surrounding hills. Along with a 200m of jogging track, you will have the opportunity to savour its amazing scenery while you exercise or relax in its recreational deck. And because no urban lifestyle is complete without internet connectivity, there are also free wifi accesses at its common spaces. All and all, you will find a very practical set of facilities and amenities at your disposal in Serini.

In terms of its interiors, you will find it pretty justifiable for the price you are paying. A complete set of kitchen cabinets with hood & hob will be provided to you, along several units of air conditioners. Besides, you will receive good quality floor finishes such as porcelain tiles and laminated timbers, in addition to timber flush doors and aluminium framed windows as well. To top it off, aluminium framed sliding glass doors will also be included if you buy its Type C or D units. Overall, you should be pleased with the furnishings and additions, especially when there are 2-3 carparks and a free 1 year maintenance fee offered by them too.

Floor Plan

Simple, clear and precise. Sime Darby makes buying easy for Serini by including only 4 major types of layout; Type A&A1, Type B&B1, Type C&C1 and Type D&D1. Their smallest units, Type As, consist of a built up area of 633 sf and 1+1 bedroom while their Type Bs are slightly larger in size with a size of 836 sf and 2 bedrooms. Their Type Cs, on the other hand, will be suitable for a family stay as it has a reasonable built up area of 1,037 sf and 3 bedrooms. But if you are looking for a more jugular unit, their Type Ds might just be the one with a built up area 1,494 sf and 4+1 bedrooms.

For its floor plans, Sime Darby has also introduced another highly desirable design by fully featuring all Semi-D units, except for its Type A units, which could be an intermediate unit. In addition, an open plan for its living, dining and kitchen areas is also included for an added space and flexibility. And depending on which direction the units are facing, they will either have a scenic view of the piercing KL skylines or the beautiful Quartz Ridge.
