A picturesque brown and black chequered building fronting a quiet road in Jalan Aman beckons to passing cars. Tall, coffee-brown towers rise to the sky and a gentle breeze rustles through a cluster of trees at the foot of the development.
Sitting in a nook of Kuala Lumpur and yet right smack where all the action is, is myHabitat, a development featuring of cosmopolitan units made for modern city people.
When it was launched in 2005, myHabitat was like a breath of fresh air in cloistered KL. While exuberance defines city living, traffic jams and the honking of cars can mar the quality of living, myHabitat, however, is strategically located away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown rush, and yet neighbours the best of the city’s offerings.
A quiet road leads to the 0.57ha development where peace seems to emanate.
Located beside the billion-dollar mixed development – The Intermark, residents of myHabitat stand to enjoy the best of modern pleasures – dining and shopping just minutes away from their doorstep.
This freehold development boasts high rental potential with its location and unit layout. With an increase in the expatriate population, a modern residence that is accessible and yet private like myHabitat is much sought after.
Investors will be thrilled to hear that myHabitat is close to embassies, the Petronas Twin Towers, Menara Maxis, Citibank Tower, Gleneagles and the Prince Court Medical Centre.
But it’s not all work and no play.
Life here pulsates with shopping havens like the Pavilion, Starhill and Suria KLCC all within a 500m radius.
While the city throbs outside, languid moments settle within the residence. A little bit of suburban life is injected into the habitat; reading decks with comfortable rattan chairs and pillows are scattered on its facility floor where residents can spend a lazy afternoon.
From this floor, residents can also enjoy a wide and unobstructed view of KL minus the dull roar of traffic.
The facility floor also houses a gym, poolside café, squash court, swimming pool, recreation hall and a children’s playground.
myHabitat’s first tower, offered three bedroom units with built-up sizes of 1,200sq ft and 1,400sq ft. The units are fully furnished, and purchasers can move in with just their suitcases and feel right at home with a ready TV and plush bed. To date, almost all units have been sold. The success of the the first block has brought improvements to its second tower, myHabitat2.

myHabitat2
Improvements in the second tower cater to what the market wants, and that is smaller units.
While myHabitat consists of residential units, myHabitat2 is made up of fully furnished service residences. These units are ready for immediate move-in and include high-quality interior fittings as well as a more private lift layout.
Investors, who make up a huge percentage of myHabitat purchasers veer more to smaller units for its affordability and rental returns.
myHabitat2 consists of studio and twobedroom apartments with sizes (four layouts) ranging from 600 to 1140sq ft. Prices start from RM760,000 to RM1.3 million, translating to about RM1,200 per sq ft. The earlier myHabitat started off at RM600 per sq ft; the stark improvement in appreciation clearly shows an interest in the property.
Since its launch at the end of 2008, over 50% of myHabitat2’s units have been sold.
Purchasers include both locals and expatriates who love the seamless space and cosy interior of the units. Interestingly, the units come with one bathroom, freeing up more space for the living area. A smaller unit instantly feels and looks bigger with this new idea. Even a couple with children who need a sixmonth rental stay will find the accommodation here first class. Foreign professionals in particular enjoy the panoramic night view of KL and the well-thought out layout. A three-tier security system completes the development.
The demand for serviced residences has shot up of late, so myHabitat2 is a good investment option.
The premium floors of myHabitat2 are now open for sale. Levels 25 – 35 afford breathtaking views of the city.
Fairlane Hospitality
Making this investment even better is Fairlane Hospitality (FLH), a professional, property asset management team, which manages the running of myHabitat, and helps manage, market and generate rental income.
