MK Land recently launched two blocks for sale in Metropolitan Square, the first was a service apartment (with commercial title) which we have recently reviewed here. The other block is named Block C, is the latest in the series of residential condominiums within this flagship development in Damansara Perdana.

We had just reviewed the Serviced apartment at Block D, so please be sure to check out othe review (here) to read our take on the location, quality and accessibility of Metropolitan. Since its launch at the same time, we won’t repeat the info here again.

While Block D is a service apartment located on commercial land, this Block C is on residential land (hende they are calling it ‘condominium’) and is the latest in the series of residential blocks open up for sale since the very first launch in Metropolitan Square. In fact, if memory serves us well, this is the fourth block to be launch. The first three blocks have been completed and handed over, currently you can see them on the side of MS that is nearest to the LDP. There is another final block that has not been launch.

Block C is located on the western side of MS and near the hillslopes. Units will either face the greenery or have the pool view. There are althogether 258 units here, with up to 12 units per floor. For the typical units, there are 3 designs to choose from. Type F is 975sq.ft. Type J is basically a mirror image of the former, but at a slightly larger buildup of 1,095sq.ft. The largest typical unit is Type I at 1,245sq.ft. Most of the units here have 3 rooms and 2 baths, and come with balcony. Larger penthouse units are also available.

For the facilities, residents of this block share with all the blocks, but they have quite comprehensive facilities which are already completed and in use. You can see for yourself what you are getting here. The common facilities are located on the podium floor of the commercial / office units.

All units come with 2 parking bays each, and maintenance is set at RM0.28psf, however please check with the salespeople for the latest details. As part of the promotion by the developer, each unit comes with semi-furnished with air-conditioning, kitchen cabinets, hood & hob, and wardrobe for master bedroom. The price for standard units range from RM425k to RM488k for Type F and J, and up to RM570k for the larger Type I. This ranges from RM430 to R450psf.

With this being a residential unit, it presents a different form of investment or purchase for the public as compared to the service apartment. This is obvious from the unit design, and overall concept. The size and design of the units are attractive to small families, and also to investors looking to rent out.
