Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at The Avare

A small, very large-unit freehold block near the embassy row. Here is the case, and what to check.

🏙️

Few neighbours, big homes

Only 78 units across 41 storeys, two to a floor, with typical units of about 3,800 sq ft and 4 en-suite bedrooms.

📍

Embassy district, close to KLCC

iProperty puts the Embassy of Japan about 1 km away, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur about 1.3 km and Suria KLCC about 2 km.

🚗

Parking and services

Listings give three covered parking bays per unit, and StarProperty describes concierge and butler services, a residents’ lounge, a gym and an outdoor pool.

⚖️

What to weigh: build quality and resale depth

The Edge Malaysia reported a RM25 million suit by 24 owners against the developer and its parent over alleged facade and workmanship defects; the report we saw gives no outcome. EdgeProp’s recorded median (RM969 psf) also sits below much of the asking range, so check defects and recent recorded sales before you offer.

The recorded numbers

What units here sell and rent for

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.

The transacted row is EdgeProp’s median of recorded sales over the 48 months to October 2026; EdgeProp records a low of RM662 psf (July 2025) and a high of RM1,518 psf (June 2007). The asking sale ranges are from PropertyGuru listings dated late September to early October 2026, and the asking rents from PropertyGuru listings dated August and September 2026. With few units and wide asking spreads, recent recorded sales for the same size matter more than the median. Ask Jason for recorded sales 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 3,800 to 7,600 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.
  • ⚠️ 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.
