Overview of Sentral Suites
The Sentral Suites is one of the newest high end apartments in the KL Sentral area, and is part of an overall development project combining living spaces with two floors of retail outlets.
Here’s an overview of key details:
These floor sizes are ideal for young working professionals as they’re easy to maintain while still providing a comfortable living space. Also, 9-to-5 workers are exactly who will appreciate having six elevators during morning and evening peak periods!
Being so recent, most units are freshly handed over and you’d likely be the first to live in a unit.
The three blocks are known as Tower 1, 2, and 3, and each has its own advantages:
- Tower 1: Closest to the gym and meeting rooms
- Tower 2: Closest to swimming pool and popular for having the best view
- Tower 3: Shortest walking distance to KL Sentral (just 400m)
We know ‘best view’ is subjective, so we’ll let you be the judge - here’s what you see looking out from a Tower 2 unit.
If you enjoy cityscapes, you know that it’s going to be beautiful at night.
