Analysis

There are plenty planned developments that will be launched soon within the area. These include Tan and Tan Developments’ 6 Stonor, which scheduled to commence this year, that located just a stone’s throw away from Stonor Park. 6 Stonor comprises a 30-storey condominium block that houses 106 units.

Besides that, The Pearl residential project will also commence its construction works very soon. The construction works would produce noise and air pollution to the area. Adding with the gas emission by the vehicles from surrounding area, the air would be living hell.

Besides that, there are plenty new comers that would possibly affect the property market within KLCC enclave. Most are estimated to be completed on the first quarter of 2009. Among others which are going to be completed within the end of the year are One KL, The Troika, Ampersand, and Idaman Residence. The nearest to Stonor Park are 6 Stonor and The Pearl.

Even though Stonor Park is highly rated by the professionals, as well as its residents, potential tenants and buyers would most probably looking for newly developed residential to get the fresh feel.

Moreover, traffic congestion is one of the main issues for living in KLCC enclave. If you need to commute more than 5 kilometers to go to work or send your children to school, you cannot escape to be stuck in the traffic during peak hours along Jalan Ampang, Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Raja Chulan and Jalan Bukit Bintang.

Residing in the heart of the city is quite a bad idea for family to raise kids. There are not many schools available within the small enclave. The nearest are Fairview International School, Sayfol International and Alice Smith International School, which located at least 3 km away. Plus, there are no facilities catered for these children in the compound. But at least you can always take your children to the biggest playground in the city, KLCC Park
