Analysis

Flora Murni is nestled at the most strategic spot in Mont Kiara vicinity, as it is located opposite Garden International School and behind Plaza Mont Kiara. Being strategically located near Mont Kiara hot spots, traffic congestion is expected. Traffic jam is usually worse before and after the school periods, as loads of cars and buses stop and park on the roadside to pick up and drop off students.

Being the first residential development project by Tian Global, Flora Murni is well received by the public thus gaining public confidence on its leader Datuk Loy Teik Ngan, who is the eldest son of the late Tan Sri Loy Hean Heong, founder of the MBF group of companies. The Loy name makes the public associate Datuk Loy Teik Ngan to the trouble-ridden days of the MBF Group. Via Flora Murni, he proved them wrong. In fact, more people are looking forward to his next property development plan.

One of the cons of Flora Murni is some units will have the view of oxidation pond. And depending on the wind direction and strength, these residents will suffer bad smell occasionally. As for investment, with the right price at the right time,this would definitely be among the best investment options in the whole Mont Kiara. Nonetheless, the very low density development factor makes Flora Murni unique and capable to offer peaceful and privacy living to its residents.

As for investors, due to the scarcity factor, Flora Murni can offer higher yield on both rental and capital appreciation as well as less waiting period to attract a potential buyer or tenant. If you afford and keen to own a landed property in Mont Kiara, Flora Murni is a better bet. But if you can’t, the condominium is also a good investment as well. It has already score in terms of location, perhaps during today’s economic downturn, there will be an investor would hand-out a unit at depreciated price.
