RM170m Lido Avenue set to change the skyline

Kota Kinabalu: Lido Avenue, a mixed commercial residential and commercial development with a gross development value of RM170 million, is set to change the skyline along Jalan Lintas in Lido, near here.
Lido Avenue is developer Mega City Development Sdn Bhd's maiden project as it debuts in the property market.

According to General Manager Kevin Ng, Lido Avenue, a high-rise development located strategically in the Lido area would see 15 units of shop/office lot and 228 residential units on a 26-storey twin tower building.

"It is visible from three major roads, namely Jalan Lintas, Jalan Pintas and Jalan Penampang and has three access roads leading to Jalan Lintas," he said, adding that it is less than five kilometres from the Kota Kinabalu International Airport and 10 minutes' drive to the city centre.

It has two lobbies, one for each tower, with three lifts servicing each tower, while the first to fifth levels are covered car parks with a total of 519 parking bays allocated for the buyers, he said.

On the residential offerings, he said they have four types of typical layout ranging from 1,628 sq ft to the smallest 1,268 sq ft.

"We feel the range offered will suit a wide variety of purchasers' preferences.
The density of each floor is very low, only six units per floor for each block," he said.
Another unique design, said Ng, was the absence of "shared or party walls" with neighbouring units, essentially making each a "detached" unit.

"This design, though costlier to construct, offers total privacy for its discerning residents," he said.

He said the development that was launched by Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor, Saturday, is expected to be completed within three years.
