D'Latour stands close to the Damansara-Puchong highway, so traffic noise is a known issue, especially on road-facing and lower floors.

  • Resident sentiment

    Views on upkeep are mixed, with some residents doubting that a largely student population has much incentive to keep shared areas well kept.

What Bandar Sunway is like

Bandar Sunway, also called Sunway City, is a master-planned township of about 325 hectares of former tin-mining land in Subang Jaya, built up since the early 1990s by a single developer. Sunway Lagoon theme park, Sunway Pyramid mall, a resort hotel, Sunway University and Sunway Medical Centre sit beside offices, factories and housing, and about 200,000 people are said to live here, most of them staying local.

Students set the rental market. Sunway University, with about 25,000 students, and Monash University Malaysia fill the high-rise stock, alongside a large young working-adult population, some lower-income households and foreign workers in the older blocks, and expatriates around South Quay, among them international school teachers, lecturers and medical professionals. Most sales are high-rise condominiums and apartments, 78% of transactions, with landed homes the rest.

It is built to be walked. A covered walkway runs from Sunway Pyramid to Sunway University, the new Sunway Square mall is linked to the university by canopy walk and the BRT, and the lakeside park at South Quay is reached by lifts from the mall. The 5.4 km BRT Sunway Line connects to the Kelana Jaya LRT and KTM lines. Cars are the problem: space for new roads is limited, Persiaran Kewajipan is heavily congested from early morning to evening, and a RM100 million-plus upgrade of its roundabout, with smart traffic lights and wider lanes, is under way.

Newer supply keeps arriving at the edges, such as PJS 8, where recent projects sell for RM800 to RM950 psf, and at Sunway Square, a RM1.8 billion mixed development whose mall is now open.

Environment3.0Poor
  • Traffic noise

    Traffic noise is likely here, as the building sits close to the Damansara-Puchong highway, particularly on road-facing and lower floors.

  • Green space
  • Construction
  • Green view

    No green space is mapped within walking distance, so views are unlikely to be green.

Facilities3.6Poor
  • Facilities provided

    Facilities include pool, children's pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, tennis, playground and barbecue deck.

  • Condition
  • Management

    Management draws repeated complaints, with weak security, broken CCTV, stolen deliveries and hostile staff all reported.

    • Upkeep is poor, and the reviewer feels better governance would have kept the building in far better condition.
