The Estate

The Estate is an upcoming luxury condominium fronting Jalan Pantai Prima, off Jalan Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur. It comprises two 46-storey blocks with a four-and-a-half-level lower ground carpark podium.

Designed by JS Lim Architect, each block has four corner units per floor, with a private lift lobby. The blocks face north or south, taking into account the wind flow and sun orientation. The 328 units range in size from 2,346 to 7,057 square feet, boasting 11-foot-high ceilings and 24-foot-wide balconies.

The Estate is designed as an energy-efficient building, in collaboration with the Building Sector Energy Efficiency Project (BSEEP), a national project established by the Public Works Department of Malaysia (PWD), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The use of energy optimisation features, such as low emissivity (or low-E) glass windows, shading devices, LED lighting, lifts with regenerative features and inverter air-conditioning, helps the building to stay Green and lowers energy usage.

Built on 3.68 acres of land, The Estate is designed as a low-density project with a large emphasis on landscaping and facilities. About 70 percent of the land mass is landscaped by Ng Sek San of SD2 Sdn Bhd. An existing retention pond will be converted into a pond with a 300-metre lake walk. Rainwater collected from the roof will be used for irrigation to minimise the portable water usage.

The building will be constructed using aluminium formwork for the reinforced concrete structural shear wall, beam and slab system. Most of the building materials, such as marble, engineered wood flooring, homogenous tiles, and sanitary ware, are locally sourced and handpicked for long-lasting, sustainable development.

As the site is located on a partial slope, geotechnical engineer Dr Kem Yah was engaged to plan and design the foundation, basement walls, contiguous bored piles and earthworks, to safely support both the 46-storey towers.
