The serviced apartment was designed to face south-east and north-west to avoid direct sunlight on the building. This building orientation reduces the heat gain of the building and helps in achieving thermal comfort. In addition, environmentally friendly and sustainable building materials were also used to construct this development. Stonor 3’s strategic location in the Kuala Lumpur city centre makes it more desirable for prospective buyers. It is just a 10-minute leisurely walk to the KLCC Park and iconic Petronas Twin Towers. It is also situated within walking distance to another forthcoming MRT station.
