Analysis

Previously, Etiqa Twins enjoyed scenic view of KLCC Park. However, the view has long gone, no thanks to KL Grand Hyatt Hotel development opposite it. This new 5-star hotel will comprise a 40-storey tower with a total of 450 rooms. It is scheduled to be open for public in December 2010.

Located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, the enclave is clustered by renowned MNCs and enterprises such as Petronas, Hong Leong Bank, Kenanga Investment Bank and Genting. Having the same address as these prestigious companies would definitely pump-up the company’s image and perception towards customers and clients.

In terms of rental, Etiqa Twins seems reasonable. However, one can opt for a better and newer office within the same budget range such as GTower and Wisma UOA I which are currently tagged at RM6.50 and RM4.50 psf respectively.
