Analysis

Owned and built by Tan Sri Low Keng Huat, Villa U-Thant is exclusive, spacious yet cozy, and a gem located within Desa Pandan. The generous built-up and facilities are a big draw to the tenants who live there. Located in a quiet area, just off the main Embassy row and the busy Jalan Ampang Hilir, every unit is equipped with kitchen cabinets, built-in wardrobes, covered parking, air-conditioning, water heaters, and much more. Units like these are perfect for business travelers looking for short-term lease, or expatriates who work in the city and want a quieter area to retreat to. Getting in and around the area can be congested especially around the Jalan Ampang area during peak hours. One will have to bypass many other properties and embassies to get into Villa U-Thant. But for those who want some peace and quiet amidst a busy city, this exclusive residence will be well appreciated. Desa Pandan is surrounded by Taman U-Thant and a large portion of the Royal Selangor Golf Club, yet another draw to living at the property. Located on freehold land, the subsale value of the entire 220,000 sf area of Villa U-Thant is priced at RM149 million.
