UL Residence Air Itam | Gated Villas With Private Lift
Air Itam is better known for its morning market and the temple on the hill than for new landed homes. UL Residence is the exception: 93 freehold villas in a guarded compound, each rising five levels around its own lift, finished in 2019.
Here is our view of who the vertical layout suits, what it asks of an owner, and the checks a completed purchase without a warranty needs.

The brochure carries one sample plan, a five-level villa on a floor plate of roughly 28 by 33 feet. The site plan sorts the 93 homes into nine position types, from intermediate A and B units to corners and the C series; ask for the sales chart to compare their sizes.
Why Choose UL Residence Air Itam?
- Lift to every floor — each villa has its own lift from the car porch up to the roof terrace.
- Two masters — one master suite on the second floor and another on the third, both with a walk-in wardrobe and balcony.
- Three bays under cover — the porches line a roofed internal driveway.
- Guarded compound with a clubhouse — pool, playground and a bridge to the clubhouse behind three-tier security.
- High ceilings — 12 ft on the developer's figures.
Where UL Residence Air Itam Falls Short
- No defect warranty — completed in 2019 and sold without one.
- Master title — individual titles not yet issued, per the developer's summary.
- Vertical living — five levels means a lift service contract, and a lot of stairs whenever the lift is down.
- Sizes by type not published — the brochure shows a single plan, yet nine position types exist.
Who UL Residence Air Itam Suits
Multi-generation families who want two master suites under one roof, owners who keep several cars, and buyers who like Air Itam's schools and markets but want a guarded compound. It suits less well anyone after single-storey living, or a buyer who needs the cover of a defects period.
Where the Build Stands
Construction is finished: the CCC was issued on 10 May 2019, and show unit 86 can be viewed by appointment. Because the developer offers no defect warranty, your own inspection takes the place of the usual defects period.

How the House Is Laid Out
The ground floor is the porch for three cars, with a lift lobby, a store and a utility room behind it. The first floor opens into one living and dining space with the kitchen and a bathroom at the back. Up on the second floor, the first master suite (walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, balcony) sits beside a bedroom with its own bathroom, and the third floor repeats that pairing. The fourth floor is a utility and laundry room leading out to the roof garden.
