Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at The Sentral Residences

Few KL addresses beat this one for transport. Here is the full picture.

✈️

The airport train downstairs

The KLIA Ekspres leaves from KL Sentral, so the airport is about half an hour away without a car.

📏

Generous sizes, low density

752 units across two 55-storey towers, with the smallest homes at 1,087 sq ft and private lift lobbies.

🌿

Freehold, opposite the gardens

The land is freehold, and Perdana Botanical Gardens is across the road.

⚖️

What to weigh: traffic and price history

KL Sentral is congested at peak hours, and recorded prices are well below the 2017 peak, which helps a buyer and hurts an older owner.

The recorded numbers

What units here actually sell and rent for

Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department and republished by property portals; asking figures are what owners are listing at. Use the first to judge the second.

Track record

About MRCB Land and Quill

Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) is the master developer of KL Sentral, and built The Sentral Residences with Quill as its joint-venture partner.

MRCB has developed much of the KL Sentral business district around the station, which is why the residences connect so closely to the rail hub and Nu Sentral.

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 1,087 to 4,327 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

  • ⚠️ 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 overseas. If a unit is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than a brochure.
