Kuala Lumpur (KL) Metro Group's five-star Imperial Lexis Kuala Lumpur and Grandview Residence, located at Jalan Kia Peng in the centre of Kuala Lumpur city, is scheduled to be completed at the latest by March of 2023.
Construction on the project is currently 85 per cent completed, according to the group's managing director Datuk Low Tak Fatt.
"We are confident that the development will be completed by early next year, and the hotel will open to the public in March, marking our very first foray into the Kuala Lumpur luxury hotel space," he told NST Property on the sidelines of the 53-storey skyscraper's topping out ceremony, here today.
Low said this is an exciting time for KL Metro Group as it witnesses its concept for a top-notch hotel and opulent apartments come to life.
"Today's occasion is a significant turning point. Imperial Lexis Kuala Lumpur and Grandview Residence will undoubtedly be a world-class destination in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The topping-out ceremony brings us closer to the completion of this development," he said.
Imperial Lexis will be the first hotel in Kuala Lumpur with private pools in each of its 275 suites (from levels 13).
The open-air Satellite Bar on the rooftop provides stunning views of the city skyline from its vantage point.
Grandview Residence has a total of 164 apartment units, with an average size of 800 sq ft (from levels 36 to 49).
Low said KL Metro Group has sold 92 per cent of the total 439 units (hotel rooms and apartments) since the unveiling in 2018/2019.
He said that foreigners from Asia and the Middle East made up the majority of the purchasers.
"This demonstrates the project's enormous popularity and attractiveness, which are a result of its advantageous location and appealing features. We worked on a sales and leaseback programme for the sale and have shown an excellent track record on rental returns thus far," he said.
The management of Imperial Lexis and Grandview Residence will be handled by Lexis Hotel Group (LHG), a company that specialises in hotel management and has a portfolio of top-notch resorts and hotels in Malaysia.
LHG holds the distinction of being the very first resort operator in Malaysia where every room it manages is equipped with a private pool.
In Port Dickson, it currently manages three properties, namely Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson, which has 639 pool villas; Grand Lexis Port Dickson, which has 317 pool villas with Balinese influences; and Lexis Port Dickson, which has 272 villas.
LHG also manages Lexis Suites Penang, a luxurious oceanfront resort on Penang Island with 222 suites, each with a private pool and steam room.
Two Guinness World Records are held by Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson, including "The most swimming pools in a resort" and "The most overwater villas in a single resort."
The iconic property boasts a private pool and steam room in each pool villa as well as a heliport for the benefit of visitors.
