‘A sanctuary for the soul’

‘A sanctuary for the soul’



Seni Mont’Kiara provides a balance for the body and mind

PETALING JAYA: What differentiates the new Seni Mont’Kiara development from other residential properties in the sought-after Mont’Kiara location is the infusion of artistic and fine-living features.

This is meant to elevate Seni Mont’Kiara from a mere luxury abode to “a sanctuary for the soul,” according to developer Ireka Corp Bhd.

“Living up to its name, Seni Mont’Kiara will house an art gallery, lush landscaping based on an island concept, as well as a signature cafe. Combined, these features will heighten residents’ sensorial experience to provide a balance for the body and mind,” said Ireka Development Management Sdn Bhd president and chief executive officer Lai Voon Hon.

Seni Mont’Kiara is the third venture between the Ireka group, via Aseana Properties Ltd unit Amatir Resources Sdn Bhd, and CapitaLand Financial. It comes hot on the heels of the successful Tiffani by i-ZEN and One Mont’Kiara.

While a permanent art gallery will stand centrally in Seni Mont’Kiara, a specially designed space within its property showcase has been dedicated for the same purpose during the construction period.

To be opened in conjunction with its sales launch, well-known international artists Eng Tay and Jolly Koh will showcase their masterpieces at the inaugural exhibition. Other renowned artists lined up for the year include Jansen Chow, Yeong Seak Ling, Yuen Chee Ling, Ahmad Shukri and Latiff Mohidin.

Sparing no efforts to create a peaceful and serene resort-type ambience, prominent landscape designer Karl Prinsic has been handpicked for the landscaping job. The core landscape concept for Seni Mont’Kiara is one of an island, with a central courtyard that runs between two residential blocks to act as the recreational platform. With 2.3 acres in soft landscaping, residents will come home to a tropical paradise that can be viewed from all the units.

Seni Mont’Kiara, located at the highest point of Mont’Kiara and next to Kiaraville, is ringed by an excellent network of roads and highways, including the North Klang Valley Expressway, Sprint Highway and Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway, providing easy access to the Kuala Lumpur city centre, Petaling Jaya, Bangsar, Damansara Heights, Damansara Utama and Taman Tun Dr Ismail.

The development on an 8.83-acre freehold site comprises two 40-level tower blocks and two 12-level low-rise blocks that house 605 units and more than 2,000 parking bays.
