Case 5 京城凱悅

Have to say this is really an eye opener for me...
From the construction material to public facility to prices... I was amazed!
Since they don't let people take pictures, I also posted up the pictures they have on their brochure.

King's Group Grand Tower
34 Floors
122 Units / Each unit has 1-6 rooms
115-230 坪 (1坪= 3.3m2)/ 350-500 thousand NTD per 3.3m2

As for the model that we saw it was around 200坪
Estimate it cost 1 billion NTD + 35 million NTD interior design + 20 thousand maintenance fee every month...
Maintenance fee alone is more than enough for common people to rent a really nice apartment.
It is unbelievable that there are people possess this much money just to spend on apartments o.O

When I first walked in, I had no idea what kind of property I am standing on.
The lobby looked pretty normal to me. I could see granite everywhere, but I thought it was pretty common since Taiwanese people do like buildings with granite.
Actually this contruction company bought it's own granite mine in Brazile. Even the building exterior is built entirely with granite. According to the statistics, this project alone had used up to 2000 tons of granite... I really don't see the point...


Not until I saw the drive way and the parking space in the basement, I started to realise that this is not a normal project.
The drive way is decorated with small tiles into a mozaic painting.



The parking space in the basement is bright, spacious, with good ventilation.
There are oil paintings on the wall.
Since rich people usually have a driver, they even have a driver's waiting room if drivers want to rest while waiting for their boss.


And then the host took us to check out their facilities in the building.
Pool and spa is on the ground floor.
When you want to have spa of massage you can call for professionals.


There is a mini movie theater.
There is also a sky bar + 2 public guest dinning rooms on top floor, each with a kitchen unit.
When you want to have a banquet, you can call for chefs to make food at the spot. And there will always have a bartender to make you drink at the sky bar, but you have to pay for your own drink.

The floor above the sky bar is the roof top. Where you can see scenery of the whole city and river.
On the floor they planted some grass, and also layed some stone tiles.
What surprised me is that on these stone tiles, they have inserted tiny LED lights!!!
Since it was day time it was hard for me to take a picture of those lighted tiles.
But a night the LED nights would look brighter, it would feel like walking on milky way!!! I found this very cool :D


We had to take the elevator, there is TV screen in each elevator.
There was also an elevator lady who guided us.
Staffs serving in this property are certified by the British school, Starkey, on household management.

And then this is what it looks like in one of the finished units.
The company only sells empty units with kitchen and bath units, so each unit would look different depending on the interior design.
As for the kitchen and bath units, they use "bulthaup", "Villeroy& Boch", "KOHLER".
Same level as the Queen Elizabath and German prime minister...



Most rooms have large windows that you can look out to the city view.
As for the window glasses, they use Low-E industrial glasses, which eliminate up to 99.5% of UV ray / radiation/ noise polution. And is strong enough for 17 degrees of typhoon.

It's pretty much like living in an hotel, yet even better than a hotel.
Anyway... everything is all very over the top and a bit overwhelming for me.
