Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Orion Residence
A freehold address in the middle of Bukit Bintang, priced above the foreign-buyer threshold. Here is the case, and what to check.
Central Bukit Bintang
Set just off Jalan Bukit Bintang between Jalan Gading and Jalan Palmer, close to the area’s malls and hotels.
46 storeys of city views
The developer describes views across the Kuala Lumpur city centre skyline from the tower.
Above the KL foreign-buyer minimum
Every developer list price is above RM1 million, so units are open to foreign buyers in principle, with state consent.
What to weigh: title, price and parking
Units are on a commercial title, so check utility and maintenance rates. Developer list prices ran from RM1.58 million to RM4.2 million, and the list price says nothing about today’s value. Ask how the automated parking system works at peak times and what it costs to run. The completion date is the developer’s record, so confirm completion and vacant possession with the developer or management.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Developer price range on the IQI listing (developer’s list price, not a transaction) | RM1,580,000 – RM4,200,000 | IQI Project Centre, 2026 |
These are the developer’s list prices recorded on IQI, not recent transactions. Ask Jason for recorded subsale prices and current rents before you offer.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Layouts here run from about 491 to 1,329 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
