What to check before choosing
- Construction progress: ARRA and The Atera are not yet completed, so check the latest stage of work against the expected date.
- Lease term: The Atera is leasehold, so confirm how many years remain on the title.
- Parking allocation can differ by unit type, so get the answer for your unit in writing rather than for the project as a whole.
- Maintenance: multiply each rate by the size of the unit you are looking at, so you compare real monthly bills rather than rates.
- The prices here are developer list prices; get the latest price list before you commit to a unit.
- Foreign buyers: a purchase in KL needs consent from the land authority, so allow time for it in your plan.
Which one I would point you to.
ARRA has the lower entry price at RM 554,000, though the layout you end up choosing matters more than the headline figure. ARRA is freehold, so there is no lease to renew. Either way, ask for the current price list and walk both before you decide — I can arrange that.
