Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

Mont Residence sits on the Mount Erskine plateau — freehold residential title, 5.15 acres, 2 blocks of 38 floors, 473 units total. VST Group is the developer (you may know them from Lumina), and execution quality here is consistent with their track record.

Two straight-forward layouts: 972 sqft (3-bedroom) at the entry price and 1226 sqft for slightly more space. 4 lifts per block keeps elevator wait reasonable. Maintenance is light at roughly RM 0.25 psf.

My honest take: Mount Erskine isn't Gurney prestige and isn't Tanjung Tokong's growth corridor — it's the workhorse middle ground. That makes Mont Residence a fair-priced freehold play if you want a clean modern condo without paying north-shore premiums. Best fit for own-stay couples and small families who work in town. Ask me which stack faces north for the morning light vs the units overlooking the road.
