Residence 8, Old Klang Road

Residence 8 (also known as 3Zero8 Residence) is a freehold modern condominium nestled along Old Klang Road. It is a new development by Ong Chong Realty. It neighbors Sri Jati I, Sri Jati II, Avant Court and OUG Parklane.

Sited on a 2.26 acre land, Residence 8 consists of 2 towers of 23-storey condominium with a total of 308 units. There are 7 or 8 units per floor, and it is served by 3 lifts. Each unit has built-up size ranging from 1,203 sf up to 1,441 sf and comes with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The unit is completed with separate wet and dry kitchen and air-conditioning refrigerant piping.

One of Residence 8’s distinctive features is its unique concept of 2 separate entrances leading separately to a studio (master bedroom) and the condominium (which is the reason behind its marketing line “Buy 1, Get 2”).

Location wise, Residence 8 is well surrounded by ample amenities. It is within close proximity to Plaza Central and Plaza OUG. Besides that, several schools are nearby, namely SMK Dharma, SK Seri Suria, SMK Seri Suria and Saraswathy Primary Tamil School. It is also near to Abdul Rahman Bin Auf Mosque and His Sanctuary of Glory Church. It is about 7km away to Mid Valley City and 16km to KLCC.

Analysis

Among the main concerns on this new development is its accessibility which the traffic in this area is very congested and the area itself is highly populated. Besides Residence 8, there are a few high-rise residential in the area including Sri Jati I, Sri Jati II and Awan Sari Hill.

Comparing Residence 8 with other newly launched condominiums and current ones, most claimed that this condo is priced on the higher side. However, the price is still within an affordable price range to own a new property within Klang Valley and near to commercial business areas.
