Property News Troika - The Art of Living
The Troika is under development where the price has gone to at about RM2,000 /sq ft. This is a great investment with its proximity to KLCC, the tallest building in Malaysia.
The following article is the description of The Troika from KL Traders:
Troika - The Art of Living
The Troika is the stuff of dreams. A dream is to create the city’s most beautiful and desirable condominium, right in the country’s most sought-after location.
The vision required imagination and craft to be realized. And so it was decided to engage Foster and Partners to create a new residential landmark for Kuala Lumpur to complement Caesar Pelli’s Petronas Twin Towers.
Foster and Partners building can be distinguished not only by their drama and beauty, but also by their functionality and the ingenious use of space. Frosters’ approach can be summarised in one word -- detail - born of a passion for architecture and design.
And while aesthetics are of course important, Froster and Partners are equally concerned about the social dimensions of their creations. these are preserne the quality of life and to create places that people wnat to go.
For The Troika, early plans incorporated three towers of varying height emerging from 'The Necklace' - a circular podium of complementary office and retail space. The Necklace frames a landscaped courtyard of 30,000 sq. ft. to provide a calm retreat exclusively for residents.
The architects' priorities were to create beautiful and functional homes, with each one able to take in the beauty of the location, such as KLCC Park, The Petronas Twin Towers and the KL city skyline.
To guarantee the best views possible for each apartment, Froster and Partners introduced the concept of a twisting building - essentially allowing individual floor plans to rotate as the building rises to enjoy KL's most stunning views.
With this objective, Froster and Partners pinned the three towers around dramatic shear walls, giving the development a strong linear character, while also framing views and providing critical shade to individual apartments.
Only then did Froster and partners address the external design. And the result is spectacular- using their signature glass and steel materials and supported by dramatic shear pre-cast concrete walls. The Troika is as beautiful from afar as it is functional from within.
The Troika. Delivering the art of living
Troika is a Russian word for a chariot drawn by three horses abreast. In the last century, the word took on a geopolitical connotation and came to symbolise a powerful triumvirate.Sunday, March 23, 2008

Description
With a population of 24m (half of which are under 27 yrs of age), urbanisation occurring at an alarming rate of 10% per annum and supply estimated at 44% of current demand, the Malaysian property market is an exciting place to be right now. Add to this a ten-year high for affordability, low interest rates, mortgage lenders providing longer repayment periods and with wages increasing, indicators for profitable investment abound. Economically Malaysia is robust, with unemployment now below 4% due to the surging high-tech sector feeding the fast growing consumer hunger of neighbouring China. GDP has been over 5.5% for the past 3 years and as a result consumer confidence has been sustained near 10%. Recently, Capital Gains Tax has been abolished in Malaysia, down from 30%, further bolstering the attractiveness of the market for local as well as foreign investors.
