Cashing in on Desa Kudalari

Nice surroundings: Lush greenery and ample open space in Desa Kudalari.

MATURE rain trees, palms and other tropical greenery form a shield around the Desa Kudalari, a condominium project on sprawling grounds within view of the Petronas Twin Towers.

Planted more than 30 years ago, they oversee the place like some jealous guardians of the gardens. But the last couple of years, there has been quite a bit of chatter about owners selling their units en masse.
