A central location, a global village vibe and world class schools are why an Embassy Row address carries international cache and Pavilion Embassy embodies it

One of the oldest roads in Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Ampang’s transformation from dusty thoroughfare to premium address reflects the storied history of the city. Fortunes have been made and dynasties have been born on this street, and as Kuala Lumpur has transformed from hard-working mining town into one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting capital cities, the neighbourhood through which Jalan Ampang passes has become one of the most desired addresses in Kuala Lumpur.

Dubbed Embassy or Ambassadors’ Row, the country’s unofficial diplomatic precinct encompasses a stretch of Jalan Ampang from the Jalan Tun Razak intersection to the Middle Ring Road and includes the enclave of Taman U-Thant and Ampang Hilir.

The postcode of old money, high-flying expatriate families and foreign diplomatic staff, for those privileged to call it home, premier shopping, destination dining and entertainment are within easy reach. Add to that a surprisingly unpretentious global village vibe, world class health facilities, quality educational institutes and unbeatable connectivity with Greater Kuala Lumpur, and it’s evident why the address carries significant cachet.

Set to be completed in stages by 2022, the construction of Pavilion Embassy is currently underway on 5.75 acres of prime freehold land
on Jalan Ampang. An integrated commercial and residential property, Pavilion Embassy will consist of a combination of sleek corporate suites, service suites and luxury residences befitting its prestigious address. Pavilion Embassy’s Mayfair and Oxford Residences are the crown jewels within this exclusive development. Named for London's affluent district and renowned high street, their 183 residential units will be set across two towers with captivating views of KL’s cityscape.

Residents will have exclusive access to several elegant private rooms for entertaining, including an exquisite tea-room designed for hushed tete-tetes, and a luxury concierge service at one’s beck and call to take the mundanity out of necessary chores. The city’s commercial business and retail district are just over a kilometre away, and thanks to a robust public transportation system and efforts to siphon traffic away from the city centre, the area has shrugged off its reputation for rush hour gridlock.

Schools are a major factor driving relocation to Embassy Row. Sayfol International School and Mutiara International Grammar School offer the British curriculum up to A-level grade, and Montessori pre-schools such as Tree Top House and The Children’s House run playgroups for children as young as two months old.

The country’s highest regarded private educational institution, International School Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) recently moved here from two separate campuses. Offering international curricula up to International Baccalaureate Diploma Program level, the school leads the way for inclusivity in education with its Life-Centered Education Program.

Embassy Row’s proximity to world-class healthcare like Prince Court Medical Centre, Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur and KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital provide additional peace of mind. HSC Medical Centre, which has built a reputation as a diagnostic centre and orthopaedic specialist hospital is situated opposite Pavilion Embassy.
