Condo residents want original plan of land use fulfilled

Izharul: Residents paid a premium price to buy their apartments after taking into account the availability of the shoplots.

RESIDENTS of a condominium in Kuala Lumpur are objecting to a proposed construction of serviced apartments next to their building as it deviates from the original plan when they bought their units.

They were shocked to find that in August last year, the developer had applied to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to change the development plans for phase four of the Residensi Vyne project, from two-block shoplots to a 300-unit serviced apartment project, without their knowledge.
