Kelana Mahkota Condominium

Map area of Kelana Mahkota

Location

Kelana Mahkota Condominium is located in Kelana Jaya, just opposite the LDP Highway (Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong) from where Giant Hypermarket is. If you're coming from the NKVE highway instead, Kelana Mahkota lies just after the exit of the Subang Jaya toll gates, first turning to the left just after Petronas and Shell gas stations. The condo's location is in a very strategic area, connecting residents to two main highways from the front and back. Through these major trunk roads, residents can easily travel to Damansara, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Kuala Lumpur and cross from LDP to NKVE easily at the cross section where Kelana Mahkota is situated.

Residential Quality

Kelana Mahkota is a middle class residential condominium that is serene and well taken care off. It has a healthy residents association with a well maintained garden surrounding an attractively decorated swimming pool area. It is a clean environment hosting mostly families from educated background. It has security cameras located in elevator lobby areas with a number of guards that patrol the compound around the clock.

Condo Facilities

Residents of Kelana Mahkota can utilize the gymnasium, swimming pool and also the two badminton and two tennis courts. The pool has a sufficiently huge swimming area with tastefully placed coconut trees and lush green plants surrounding it. It's beautifully lit at night to promote a tranquil atmosphere beneath the heavens. Unlike the semi maintained gyms found at other condominiums, the one in Kelana Mahkota is in tip top condition. Facing the pool, the gym has full length windows for a splendid view with top of the line equipment only found in commercially gyms with expensive memberships. The gyms are clean, appealing and will easily cater to all your workout needs.

Also within the compounds, one can find a convenience store, hair salon and a laundy shop. There is also a cafe near the pool, however from personal experience, I find the cafe place below acceptable service quality and would be the only sore point of Kelana Mahkota. The variety of food is few and the toast bread I had there was probably the worst I've eaten. Dried and unappealing. But on the positive note, there is an external gerai/warung located just opposite outside the condominium gates which seem to receive a consistent following. They serve mostly dinner crowds. Across the road are several Mamak restaurants which open for 24 hours a day and serve food that are both appetizing and abundant in variety. For those without personal transport, food is just within walking distance of 3 minutes.

Other Amenities

Next to Kelana Mahkota lies Kelana Square, a large commercial square that hosts cafes, restaurants, clinics, legal representatives, convenience stores, CCTV/Alarm shops, stationary shops and many more. It's roughly 10-15 minutes walk away and part of the plus points for residents of the area.

The LRT station is 10 minutes drive away and is convenient for those wanting to travel to KL by train.

The Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport or formerly known as the Subang International Airport is located just 15 minutes away with a mostly clear smooth drive.

Giant Hypermarket, Kelana Jaya, just opposite Kelana Mahkota
Giant Hypermarket is just 10 minutes drive away with everything you could possibly need for your household. Starbucks included!

10 minutes to SS2 - for food, Chinese restaurants, fish market, entertainment, eletrical, eletronics and many more.

5 minutes walk to the Kelana Jaya Recreational Park, a relaxing area with jogging tracks, 4 large ponds - all well maintained and utilized by the community for morning and evening activities.

5 minutes walk to the Kalana Jaya stadium, to watch live football and other sports.

5 minutes walk to the public swimming pool, larger and deeper for the whales of Kelana Jaya should the condo pool be insufficient

Within 3 Kilometer distance, you will be able to find the usual franchises such as KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Subway Sandwich Outlet and all the major banks - Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank and RHB. Mamak stalls are abundantly scattered within the 3km distance for 24 hour gastronomical convenience while not being too closed by to devalue the property itself. Car workshops are also numerous along with hardware shops, baker's shop and also a huge chinese hawker center. Petrol stations such as Caltex, Shell, Petronas are just a stone's throw away.

In my opinion, Kelana Mahkota is already a good thing with more bonus coming soon to make it even better still..read on..

What's Next ?

Just next to Kelana Mahkota, the Zenith Corporate Park featuring more shops, offices and conveniences. It's brand new (2011), looks grand and contemporary and is just within 5 minutes walk. It's already open and busineses are starting to fill that place.

What More ?

The upcoming Paradign PJ mall
Oh, didn't you know it yet ? A brand new shopping mall, The Paradigm that's facing the LDP, and just 10 minutes walk from Kelana Mahkota and its opening next year. Foundations have been built, and it's now 4 storeys up already. From review websites, the Paradigm is supposed to be a 'beauty of steel and glass' and would be the equivalent of Mid Valley Megamall, which we all know is a place everyone goes to for everything. The Paradigm will boast The Escalade Corporate Office Towers, the 30-Storey Ascent Corporate Office Suites and the 700,000 sf. Paradigm Mall. It's a project with futuristic design and will forever transform the skyline of Kelana Jaya. And did I mention it already ? Just 10 minutes walk away. The Paradigm in your backyard.

The Developer of Kelana Mahkota

Kelana Mahkota was developed by SMI Cityhome Sdn. Bhd. They also developed other nearby condos in the area such as Kelana D'Putera, Kelana Puteri, and the higher end Sterling Condominium. The condo consists of 3 blocks A,B and C, consisting of 712 units with two levels of basement parking.

Type of Units

In Kelana Mahkota, you can choose between the Duplex Units and standard units.
The Duplex Units has a build-up area from 1,724 sqf to 1,814 sqf.
The Standard Units range from 1,260 sqf to 1,352 sqf.

Prices

When it was launched, the prices of standard units were between RM243,164.00 to RM269,893 and the price for the duplex was between RM325,014 to RM361-540. That was in 2004. The market price for a standard unit of 1260 sqf is now close to RM400,000 and over RM500,000 for the duplex unit.

Forecast

With the upcoming completion of Zenith Corporate Park, The Paradigm PJ and Park Lane (the other side of Paradigm, shops and offices), the property value of Kelana Mahkota will continue rising. Another factor which will contribute to the increase in price would be the LRT project, which is going to be extended to Putra Heights. A station stop will be built near Kelana Business Center, around 5 minutes drive away from Kelana Mahkota. All in all, the well maintained Kelana Mahkota with uprising surrounding factors are all good indicators of property appreciation.
