RM300K to 400K Condo Renovations That Set the Bar High for Luxury

December 4, 2024

Worth every cent.

Renovating a condominium before moving in is a significant step toward creating a space that feels uniquely yours. While basic condominium renovations typically start from RM150,000, many homeowners choose to invest between RM300,000 and RM400,000 to incorporate higher-quality materials and premium finishes. In fact, based on Qanvast’s most recent condominium projects, 10% fall within this price range.

Since renovations are a long-term investment, it’s essential to ensure the outcome is both comfortable and adds lasting value. Here’s a look at some of those projects to inspire your dream home renovation!
