Analysis

The developer of Lumina Kiara, ECH Development & Management, is a new developer. Somehow, this company is the owner of The Beach Club, Nuovo, Poppy & Passion, so it shouldn't be a problem for it to take over this development.Since the total 104 units from different types of layouts, their allocation are different as well. From level 1 to level 8, there will be 6 units of Avantgarde on every floor; from level 9 to level 22 there will be 4 units of Maisonette on every 2 floors and 1 unit of Premiere on every floor; for level 23 there will be 1 unit of Penthouse and 4 units of Avantgarde; from level 24 to level 29 there will be 1 unit of Penthouse on every floor and 1 unit of Maisonette on every 2 floors.The residents of Lumina Kiara can stay at this luxurious sanctuary with peace of mind as it is completed with specific security and safety features. For semi-detached house, each unit will have a guardhouse with CCTV and intercom. The boom gate only can be operated by an access control card which only possessed by the house owners. On the other hand, each unit in the condominium will be completed with CCTV and intercom as well as provided an access control card to operate the front boom gate, a special coding system with finger print system to enter the side entrance, CCTV at selected locations which can be viewed from individual TV screen and an access control card to enter the lift lobbies. There are 2 entry/exit points in the condominium. One of them is from the front at ground level, and another one is from the side directly to Basement 2. The front entrance is accessible by the access control card and under 24-hour guarded, while the side entrance is only accessible by the special coding system with the finger print system. There is also another entry point from the side directly to Basement 1 but this is only strictly for the maintenance trucks. In the early 1900s, Mont Kiara is just a rubber plantation. Now, it becomes one of the top ten precincts in the Klang Valley area, as it is full of high-rise condominiums, luxurious houses, restaurants, schools and offices. Its strategic location not just attracting Malaysians but also expatriates from oversea. Just the location of the Lumina Kiara, we can see that there are a lot of other residences at the surrounding, such as Mont Kiara Bayu, Mont Kiara Aman, Mont Kiara Astana, Mont Kiara Sophia, Mont Kiara Damai, Mont Kiara Pelangi, Mont Kiara Palma, Mont Kiara Pines, and so on. Hence, it is not surprise that on the way back home to Lumina Kiara, there will be a problem of crowded and heavy traffic jam at the peak hours.All units in the Lumina Kiara are having aesthetic interior designed with the quality of floor finishes and wall finishes. All the quality materials used including marble, timber, ceramic tiles, plaster and all-weather resistant paint, plaster and emulsion paint and so forth. The windows and balcony door are coated aluminium frame glazing. In conclusion, Lumina Kiara is offering a comfortable and luxurious home to the residents, and also a good return on investments to the investors due to Mont Kiara's high demand and popularity.
