Rencana Royale: Value in TTDI

By Jotham Lim

With the staggering amount of overhang properties currently in the market, property investors are increasingly wary of their options when it comes to deciding which property to invest in. The location of the property plays a key role in the decision-making process, and the focus of investment tends to shift towards matured neighbourhoods, with a healthy population and reliable, stable rental rates.

Amidst the matured neighbourhoods in Kuala Lumpur, Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) is perhaps one of the most highly desirable locations in the market, with its connectivity to Kuala Lumpur using the Penchala Link tunnel via the SPRINT Expressway, and to the south via the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP).

With the upcoming DASH highway expected to be completed by mid-2020, the property prices in TTDI is expected to appreciate in the coming years.

TTDI has grown into a residential neighbourhood with a strong communal sense, easy access to commercial areas such as One Utama shopping centre, IKEA and TheCurve district, and office buildings located within Damansara Perdana. Public transport is also a breeze, thanks to the TTDI MRT station.

As pleasant as it is, a highly desirable location comes with a hefty price tag, making the entry point difficult for many property investors and first-time homeowners. However, there may be a solution to this conundrum.

Introducing Rencana Royale, CK East’s latest addition to the TTDI neighbourhood.

Built on of Malay reserved land, Rencana Royale is perhaps the property project to look out for due to its attractive pricing after the Bumiputera discount. This project is perfect for those who are working in Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya.

The key selling point of Rencana Royale is not just limited to its great location, but for its wonderful internal layout as well. Rencana Royale features both Executive Suite and Deluxe Suite options, both come with a single-storey or duplex variant, offering much-needed flexibility in terms of space and design.

The project also offers a three-storey Corporate Rooftop Suite, which comes with an exclusive private elevator that transport residents directly to their units. Corporate Rooftop Suite owners also have the luxury of having their very own separate car park as well.

The Deluxe Suites sport a dual-key layout option, perfect for millennials looking for an own-stay and investment unit. Homeowners are able to rent out half of their unit to cover their monthly instalments while they are fresh in the workforce, and absorb the space once they have started a family and are in need of a larger area.

The flexibility provided by having a dual-key layout trumps any other single-key offerings, all without compromising safety and privacy. In addition to that, the duplex variant of the Deluxe Suites could potentially be converted into a triple key layout, a very uncommon gem within the current property marketplace. The idea of owning practically three units with a single purchase is very attractive.

But buying a high rise project goes beyond just the unit itself. Rencana Royale is also outfitted with two facility floors, boasting an infinity sky pool, swimming pool and jacuzzi surrounded by a manicured landscaped housing cafe, recreational park and a BBQ area, a perfect spot for social and family gatherings.

A strong community is the core of the Rencana Royale lifestyle, hence the deck is also outfitted with a conference room-cinema hall, grand meeting room, meeting room and multipurpose hall, where residences are able to hold both private and community events.
