Inception of Mont Kiara

The inception of Mont Kiara as an exclusive high end residential development was the brainchild of Datuk Alan Tong of Sunrise Bhd. He took what was formerly a parcel of the Segambut rubber estate and turned it into the Sunrise Mont Kiara Integrated Global Village.

Mont Kiara was slated as an up-market development right from the beginning as it was in close proximity to other exclusive areas like Bangsar and Damansara Heights. As a well planned integrated development project, subsequent developers to the area were able plan their developments accordingly and add to the existing infrastructures.

Property Developers

To date, Sunrise Bhd is the largest developer in the area having built over 4000 units of high end condominiums as well as numerous commercial centers. Today, even as we speak, Sunrise Bhd is adding more to its stable of projects by launching more exclusive condominiums like the Mont’ Kiara Meridien, 10′ Mont Kiara, 11 Mont Kiara, and the 28 Mont Kiara.

Other developers wishing to emulate the successes of Sunrise Bhd have also jumped on the bandwagon in developing this “Integrated Global Village”. Ireka Corp Bhd, the joint developer of the recently completed “Kiaraville”, has built over 2000 units of condominiums in Mont Kiara. Other notable developers in the area like Aseana Properties developer of Tiffani by i-Zen and Seni Mont’ Kiara and UOA Holdings, developer of Villa Mont’ Kiara, have with their own niches have also added to the exclusivity of Mont Kiara as the epitome of fine living in KL.

Well designed luxury residential properties are only just one aspect of an exclusive enclave. The ambiance of the surrounding neighborhood is also an important factor which makes a place lively and special. The well landscaped green scenery provide a sense of tranquility for everyone, be it for relaxation or inspiration.

Thus it is not surprising to find the courtyard of Plaza Mont Kiara filling up with people after dusk for dinner or shopping or just purely hanging around soaking up the atmosphere. In addition, the Arts, Bric-a-Brac & Crafts” (ABC) Market and Pasar Malam (Night Market) called Fiesta Nite add a special flavor and color to life in Mont Kiara, quite unlike any expat community around the world.
