What Stands Out at Ara Bloc Residences
Freehold Land in Ara Damansara
The 6.06-acre site is freehold, so there is no lease to renew or count down. The title is commercial, which is why the homes are sold as serviced apartments rather than condominiums.
Lift Load Differs by Block
Every block is served by three passenger lifts, backed by a service lift. Block A has 9 units a floor, about three homes per passenger lift; Block C1 has 19, about six per lift. Buyers who dislike waiting should ask which block a unit is in.
Lanai and Garden Versions
Types A, B and C come in a standard version and a lanai version, and Types B and C also in a garden version. The lanai and garden units of Types B and C are 10 to 11 sq ft larger than the standard ones.
Two Car Bays for Every Unit
Each home has two car parks, from the 767 sq ft two-bedroom up. A couple with two cars, or a family with one car and a visitor, does not have to rent an extra bay.
Pool Deck on Level 9
The main facility deck covers about 1.9 acres on Level 9. It holds the swimming pool and a jacuzzi, a wading pool for children, a yoga deck, an outdoor gym, a reflexology path, a reading lounge and a games room. A futsal and tennis court sits on Level 6 and the gym room on the mezzanine.
Shops at Ground Level
The base of the project is a retail street with double-frontage shops and an anchor tenant lined up. Natural ventilation is planned for all rooms, and the walls can be hacked to reshape a layout after handover.
