oh{FISH}iee: 5 Reasons to Invest in Astrum Ampang by Setia Awan Group

During my recent house hunting, I stumbled upon the Astrum Ampang by Setia Awan Group, which is all set to be the brightest star in Kuala Lumpur's property market in the next couple of years. If you are familiar with the Ampang Jaya area, you would have spotted the ongoing 6.8-acre mixed development which is located right next to Jelatek LRT Station. It is Malaysia's first ever development with a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and SOHO Transit concept.

Reason #1 Strategic Location

What attracts me the most about Astrum Ampang is the location. Being the many reasons to invest in Astrum Ampang, location factor tops my list as it is strategically located along bustling Jalan Ampang and Jalan Jelatek areas with great accessibility and convenience for those who enjoy urban living and working in the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur.

While there is a link bridge connecting Astrum Ampang to Jelatek LRT Station, it means that KLCC is only 4 train stations away. I believe you'd enjoy the short distance and travelling time to the city centre.

Reason #2 Convenience

Location aside, convenience is key. This well-developed neighbourhood is close to the popular landmarks and amenities such as Gleneagles Medical Centre, Great Eastern Mall, public and private schools as well as an array of businesses and embassies nearby.

Embracing the "City Within City" concept, Astrum Ampang will also be surrounded by Setia Awan Group's other development components of this project including hotel, office, park, shopping outlets and more.

Reason #3 Affordability

Thirdly, the affordability of Astrum Ampang attracts many future home owners and investors alike. With a built-up area of 280 sqft, Astrum Ampang SOHO Transit unit is priced from RM 230,000 onwards. Perfectly affordable price point for young working adults to own a property while redirecting their rental overheads to the tenants be it for long term rental or vacation rental purposes.

Being a studio unit (1 bedroom and 1 bath), it is possible to convert the unit into a home office so you can enjoy the urban setting especially the magnificent night view of KLCC (this is a special privilege for those who own the corner units).

Each unit comes with a complimentary basic pantry (i.e. table top, sink and bottom cabinet), 1 HP air conditioner, 1 unit of water heater, and a smart Google Home Mini. With all the basics covered, you can just move in and stay without forking out much for renovation.

Reason #4 Outstanding facilities at low monthly maintenance

Another noteworthy point about Astrum Ampang is the 62 leisure and wellness facilities for a comfortable, convenient and exciting urban lifestyle. The best part? You only pay less than RM100 per month for the maintenance fees to enjoy all the facilities including children's indoor playground, multi-purpose hall, smart gym, co-working space, cafe, outdoor theatre and infinity pool.

Swimming Pool

Not only that, Astrum Ampang is also the home to a sunken jacuzzi, outdoor tennis court, reflexology room and the list goes on. Sounds amazing?

In Astrum Ampang's sales gallery, we get to experience how does a "Smart Gym" look like. There will be virtual displays with pre-programmed training sessions for those who want to prefer safe social distancing yet being able to work out with virtual trainers. On top of that, the large gym fully equipped with state-of-the-art cardio fitness equipment - so you can achieve your fitness goal without spending additionally on gym membership subscription anymore.

Reason #5 Top notch security

Last but not least, I personally find that security is one of my top priorities. But no worries, Astrum Ampang uses 5G face recognition security and 24-hour CCTV surveillance to prevent intruders, and it also provides a smart home door lock in each unit where it allows you to control access to your home with your phone, offering both security and flexibility.
