Avara Seputeh

The developer of Avara Seputeh, Ba Sheng Sdn. Bhd. has developed a well-planned project despite this being its maiden project. Bearing in mind the needs of prospective residents who would want the security of having a home-like environment despite living in the middle of the city, the developers of Avara Seputeh have integrated a homely feel in each corner of their development.

One of the major highlights of Avara Seputeh would be the emphasis placed upon the comfortability of the residents be it in terms of the facilities or the interior of each unit. Besides that, it would be the ease of connectivity to major tourist spots and entertainment outlets in and around Kuala Lumpur such as Bangsar Village, Mid Valley Megamall and KL Eco City. With the existence of these entertainment outlets, this place would definitely never leave the residents in boredom.

Avara Seputeh Location

Tucked within the heart of Jalan Seputeh, Kuala Lumpur, Avara Seputeh is a well-planned and strategic developmental project that focuses on urban life. The entire landscape of the area relies on its massive skyscrapers and bustling roads. The location is well suited for those who love the hustle and bustle of city life. Packed with entertainment outlets, luxury malls, tourist attractions and even shopping centres which accommodate the basic needs of the residents, this property would also be popular amongst those who would want all the conveniences within close proximity. Seputeh, just like the other cities in Kuala Lumpur, has a high traffic congestion rate due to the high density of residents.

There is a lot of noise from these traffic jams in Seputeh, especially at peak times. The residences closest to the main roads are the most heavily impacted. Avara Seputeh is also located nearby the main roads. This problem can, however, be solved with double-glazed soundproof windows that allow the residents to enjoy peace and quiet without disturbing the neighbours.

Being located within a 6 to 10 minutes distance between major tourist hotspots such as The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley Megamall, and the famed KL Eco City, serves as a huge plus point for Avara Seputeh. This would be a huge attraction point for millennials who have a high keenness on window shopping or to simply hang out with their friends and family. Fancy the great outdoors? Well, the area of Seputeh also serves the best of recreational areas in the vicinity. This includes the Taman Desa Recreational Park and KLCC Park. These parks are located within an 11 km radius from the residential development itself.

Connectivity

On par with the modernity and evolvement of transportation services in the area of Kuala Lumpur, Seputeh has its fair share of connectivity benefits too. These come in various forms such as the ever-popular public transportation services such as the MRT services, LRT services, bus services and of course, the ever so popular, e-hailing services. The whole area of Seputeh is well-connected to various highways and major roads such as the Federal Highway, the New Pantai Expressway (NPE), the Maju Expressway (MEX), the North-South Highway and the Kerinchi Link. For those who would prefer long road trips and the joy of using trunk roads, these highways are also accessible via the main trunk road of Old Klang Road.

Talking about the public transportation services, the most popular public transportation service in Seputeh would definitely be that of the KTM services especially with the existence of the Seputeh Commuter Station. This station is located approximately 8 minutes from Avara Seputeh. Apart from that, there’s also the Angkasapuri KTM Station, Mid Valley KTM Station, Kerinchi LRT Station, Abdullah Hukum LRT Station and the Putra LRT Station. Prospective residents wouldn’t find it a hassle to commute to and fro the commuter station too.

A highly connected residential development project as Avara Seputeh would definitely be a huge relief for prospective residents who depend largely on the usage of public transportation to travel to and fro work. The usage of e-hailing services such as Grab Car and My Car is extremely vital to the growing commutation landscape in Seputeh. These services are popular amongst people who would want a comfortable and less fussy journey.

Convenience

With Seputeh being a major entertainment hub, it is safe to say that investing in a property in this area would never leave a prospective resident in boredom. There’s a lot of things to discover in the vicinity and it is absolutely suitable for both millennials who enjoy the exuberant nightlife in Seputeh and families who would want to spend some quality time with their loved ones without travelling far away.

For the residents who love frequenting entertainment outlets and shopping malls, there are a plethora of malls at your service. These include The Gardens Mall, KL Eco City Mall, Bangsar Village and Mid Valley Megamall. These major shopping centres which have been popular tourist spots for quite some time are at most, 10 minutes away from Avara Seputeh. The close proximity of these shopping malls to the residential development project would enable the residents to have a fun night out with their family and friends without having to travel far from the luxuries of their home. Not to forget, it would minimize the residents’ experiences of being stuck in a traffic jam.

As for nature lovers, fret not! Within the enclaves of the city life, there are definitely a few areas that would take your mind off the hustle and bustle that surrounds the area. Among these areas are, KLCC Park, the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, ASEAN Sculpture Garden and Taman Bukit Desa Recreational Park. These places are located at most, 10 minutes away from Avara Seputeh.

Besides that, there are many educational institutions that are situated in Seputeh. These include Vikas International School, Campus Rangers International School, Sri Desa International Secondary School, Kuen Cheng High School, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bangsar, Sri Dasmesh International School, Oasis International School – Kuala Lumpur, SRJK (C) Kuen Cheng 2, Garden International School, Global Indian International School (GIIS) Kuala Lumpur Campus and Universiti Malaya.

Competitor Analysis

The main property developers in the area of Seputeh are Ba Sheng Sdn. Bhd. and Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB). The presence of these developers is quite prominent especially, in an area as competitive as Seputeh. The difference between these two developers is the fact that Ba Sheng Sdn. Bhd. is a relatively new development project in Seputeh and MRCB is a more established company. In comparison to the properties in the vicinity of the area, Avara Seputeh is comparatively more inclusive in terms of its facilities and amenities.

9 Seputeh by MRCB is a 15 storey leasehold service apartment located along the Old Klang Road and it’s luxurious outlook definitely targets the higher end of the market just like the other properties in the vicinity. The service apartments are in the built-up size range of 484 sq ft – 1,335 sq ft. Therefore, it’s priced at RM 900 per square feet. This is indeed more expensive in comparison with Avara Seputeh by Ba Sheng Sdn.Bhd. which has a price of RM 850 per square feet. This actually proves that the exorbitant pricing in Seputeh is very common. It may be quite unreasonable but the living costs in an area as such is indeed high too. Adding on to this, 9 Seputeh is a leasehold property which has a standard tenure of 99 years while Avara Seputeh is a freehold property.

Tria Seputeh, another project by MRCB is a leasehold, serviced apartment project that has 734 units. The units are priced at RM 841 per square feet. For a leasehold apartment, units from Tria Seputeh are indeed exorbitantly priced. However, as aforementioned, this is completely normal in an area as competitive as Seputeh. The facilities and amenities in Tria Seputeh are almost the same as Avara Seputeh but Avara Seputeh focuses more on integrating nature with modernity. Tria Seputeh puts its entire focus on modern living.

Below is a table to further enforce the notion that Avara Seputeh still tops the spot in an area as competitive as Seputeh as a whole:
