The M101 Skywheel Design Suites, which will sit on top of the ambitious Skywheel tower in Kampung Baru which also includes Asia's tallest Ferris Wheel, will come in three variants with every part of the unit being crafted and laid out by the studio and the developer for luxury living.

The 94 suites, which will go for prices starting at RM 3,500 per square feet, will sit at the very top block of the 78-storey Skywheel tower, at 300 meters above ground and with a full view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

Among the highlights of the suites are the presence of a “magic” television set, where television screens blend in with the wall panel and are not distinguishable unless turned on by remote.
