Who says you have to forgo tranquillity if you choose to live in the heart of the city? Head to the exclusive precinct of U-Thant, Kuala Lumpur, just a stone’s throw from the iconic KLCC Twin Towers, and meet the jewel in the crown of lavish living: The Ashwood.
Located in the prestigious neighbourhood of the Embassy Row in Kuala Lumpur, this development by reputed developer Paramount Property is a beacon of opulence, poised to capture the hearts of discerning buyers.
“We have designed the development towers to face the scenic KL city skyline and the Royal Selangor golf course,” says CEO Chee Siew Pin.
With only 1.8km to KLCC, you could enjoy the double advantage of the country’s metropolis that hosts international-level centres for work, business, entertainment, shopping and dining at hand, as well as the sanctuary of a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.
Locale par excellence
The Ashwood is an upmarket scheme with a gross development value of RM758 million spread across 3.59 acres. Comprising two 49-storey residential towers, The Ashwood will bring to the market 302 condominium units, 40 duplex units and 12 units of three- and four-storey villas.
The Ashwood’s address in U-Thant itself is a mark of security and prestige, honouring the area’s diplomatic heritage and upscale transformation. Besides KLCC, it enjoys close proximity to other key business hubs like Tun Razak Exchange and Merdeka 118, making it the ideal option for expatriates seeking premium living and convenience.
Proximity to top-end amenities
Within a 4km radius, The Ashwood has a wealth of amenities including luxury shopping at Suria KLCC, The Starhill, Pavilion KL and Lot 10, as well as some top-end neighbourhood supermarkets like The Food Merchant, Hock Chun Supermarket, Mercato and Ben’s Independent Grocer. The area is also a food paradise, offering an unmatched variety, from fine dining to local and international cuisines.
Designed with families in mind, The Ashwood is situated near renowned international schools such as Sayfol International School, EtonHouse Malaysia, St John’s International School and The International School of Kuala Lumpur. World-class healthcare facilities are also easily accessible with Prince Court Medical Centre, Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur and KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital nearby.
Complete road and rail connectivity
The Ashwood’s strategic location gives residents direct access to Kuala Lumpur’s key road nodes of Jalan Ampang, Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Kampung Pandan, allowing quick connectivity to major highways — Maju Expressway (MEX), Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE), Ampang-KL Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), and SMART.
Additionally, the Ampang Park light rail transit (LRT) and mass rapid transit (MRT) station is located just a mere 1.3km away, offering a traffic-free journey to all the stops in the integrated Kuala Lumpur rail network, including the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Unparalleled privacy
The Ashwood condo units are sized from 1,381 sq ft and designed in a semi-detached layout with wider windows to maximise cross-ventilation and spacious balconies allowing owners to enjoy panoramic views. With four lifts serving only five units per floor, residents experience unparalleled privacy for an entry price point of RM1.64 million.
Meticulously designed with premium materials, the semi-furnished units facilitate a seamless move-in experience. Each unit features a digital door lock for enhanced security, and a smart home system controllable via a mobile app integrating lighting, air-conditioning and smart switch controls.
Offering an exclusive opportunity for a landed home experience in a highly valued enclave, there are six units of three-storey upper villas and six units of four-storey lower villas with direct parking access and private home lifts, priced at RM4.307 million. The lower villas are 3,407 sq ft while the upper villas are 3,138 sq ft with direct access to the facility podiums on Levels 7 and 8.
“In this area, landed residences are highly sought after and are the preferred properties. However, it costs a high price tag to purchase one and it is very scarce in the market. So, to cater to that niche market needs, we have designed upper and lower villas with a semi-detached concept where you still have a landed feel, and owners get to park their cars at their doorsteps. The whole development concept is very much market driven. Through thorough research and drawing from valuable insights and feedback, we have analysed into specific sizes and demand trends within the surrounding area, ensuring the whole product is centred around the people’s preference, and that's how we started off this project. Due to the limited land available in U-Thant, this development is truly a rare find,” Chee points out.
Resort-style facilities and secure living
The Ashwood offers 48 curated facilities for a resort lifestyle, from arriving in style at a grand entrance to the poshness of a concierge lobby. Well-placed lounges, water features and manicured landscaping set the tone for swanky living, while defined spaces and facilities for guests, children and even pets reflect the thoughtfulness invested right from the blueprint.
Levels 7 and 8 are dedicated to activity-based facilities such as the pool, gym and the games courts. Meanwhile, at the rooftop podium, overlooking largely low-rise buildings, you get to enjoy sweeping cityscape vistas while utilising the barbecue terrace, co-working lounge, sky terrace and sky lounge. Also in the works is an urban farming programme to encourage herb cultivation for personal use.
The Ashwood is equipped with a multi-tier security system including 24/7 security patrols for constant vigilance and a dual guardhouse, ensuring residents' safety remains the top priority. Additionally, a visitor screening and management system further enhances the safety measure for residents.
Sustainability focused
The Ashwood is equipped with a range of sustainability measures that commensurate with its pursuit for a GreenRE Certification. To manage the building’s thermal envelope, the development utilises Low-E glass coating, while ledges and fins are incorporated as solar shading devices. Greenery cascades from the car park podiums, functioning to both cool and beautify the facade.
Energy-efficient LED lights are installed in common areas and energy-saving features in elevators contribute to energy-saving initiatives. With ready rooftop solar panels, you enjoy further savings on common area maintenance.
“The use of these energy-efficient features can help save approximately 5% on energy costs and approximately 10% on water bills for landscaping. By providing more open spaces in the common areas and bigger balconies for each unit, we estimate that the energy savings on air-conditioning would be up to 29%,” Chee added.
Open for booking
The Ashwood is slated for completion in 2028 and is currently open for sale.
