About 600–1,900 sq ft
PropertyGuru gives 598–1,892 sq ft and iProperty 548–1,892 sq ft; some listed units are larger

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Loft @ KK Times Square
A serviced residence on top of a city mall. Here is the case, and the catch.
A mall downstairs
The Loft is part of KK Times Square together with Imago Shopping Mall, about 800,000 sq ft of retail space, and the Signature Office tower.
A city-centre address
iProperty lists SK Sembulan, Jesselton International School and Gleneagles Hospital among nearby schools and medical care.
A wide range of layouts
The developer offers studios to 3-bedroom units. Listings in October 2026 ran from studios of about 550–600 sq ft to units of about 1,900–2,200 sq ft, some advertised as four bedrooms (probably combined units).
What to weigh: a large, mixed-use block
With 631 units, many offered as short stays, lifts and car parks are shared with a busy mall and holiday guests. Ask the management office about short-stay rules before you buy to live in.

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.

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 598 to 1,892 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.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ 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.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
