With more people living in strata developments today, property managers are facing an increasing number of challenges in strata management.

Navigating strata management issues

Twenty-five years after its opening on Aug 31, 1999, the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers still reign as the tallest twin skyscrapers in the world. Soaring to a height of 452m, the iconic stainless steel and glass edifice and beloved crown jewel of our nation still dazzles as an internationally recognised landmark. Apart from being a well-known tourist attraction, the property is fully occupied and home to offices with a total gross floor area of 5.4 million sq ft.

Always in pursuit of excellence

Occupying half of the 100-acre Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) development, KLCC Park is not only an integral green lung that integrates seamlessly with the office towers — including the world-renowned Petronas Twin Towers, retail complexes, hotels, residential as well as entertainment and recreation components within the precinct — but also serves as a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city for city folks, office-goers and visitors.

The people’s park

Standing as the tallest residential twin towers in Southeast Asia and the tallest building in the country outside of Kuala Lumpur at 1,020ft (72-storey Tower A) and 915ft (67-storey Tower B), The Astaka @ One Bukit Senyum in Johor Bahru is an icon in its own right. Managing an iconic property certainly comes with added expectations.

Meeting high expectations

There are not many high-rise strata residential properties in town whose fund surplus is strong enough to comfortably provide several months’ worth of service charge waivers every year. The Pearl @ KLCC is one of those.

Taking its sheen up a notch

Located in Taman Subang Ria, one of the largest privately owned urban parks in Subang Jaya and opened in 1982, PARC is a 7½-acre community hub developed by Sime Darby Property Bhd (KL:SIMEPROP) in collaboration with social enterprise Epic Communities.

A community-driven, sustainable project

With the built environment responsible for more than one-third of global emissions, building sustainably is more important now than ever as the world is hurtling towards a climate crisis. Apart from the importance of collective action from governments, corporations and the public, innovation in setting new standards of sustainability is also imperative.
