Desa Putra Condominium Wangsa Maju

The site is at the gateway location of Kuala Lumpur Sub-urban Centre (KLSC) at Wangsa Maju. It demarcates the entry to KLSC from the main link road (Jalan J-1) connecting Setapak, Wangsa Maju and Ampang. Anchored at this point is Sri Rampai Putra LRT Station, which will eventually be integrated with the another development, for total convenience. Existing conveniences are the established commercial centre and Alpha Angle Shopping Centre to the northwest and shop-office blocks of KLSC Phase 1 to the northeast.Predominant views from the site are towards the southwest and east; these are the KL city and Bukit Melawati respectively. The high vantage point allows spectacular panoramic views across the whole Klang Valley, punctuated by the city and Bukit Melawati. They can be characterized as bustling in the west and reposive in the east.Providing a green backdrop to the scheme is a hill park for public recreation. The hill and greenery is designed to be seemingly rolling into the open area and pool deck of the scheme. This space is demarcated on three other sides by three blocks of residences, each oriented to optimize views. It is the main entry and driveway of the scheme integrating all three blocks into an "urbanized" landscaped plaza or court. All common facilities and amenities are distributed around this plaza at the base of each block, reinforcing the perception of the integration of common use and activities at the plaza.
