Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Imperium Residence
A resort-style tower next to a hotel, close to town. Here is the case, and the catch.
Close to town
Kuantan town centre is about 2 km away, with East Coast Mall and the Royal Pahang Golf Club in the area.
Resort facilities
An infinity pool, indoor and outdoor gyms, sauna, children’s pool and a small water play park are listed.
A hotel next door
The Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan, completed in 2020, sits in the same waterfront complex.
What to weigh: tenure and studio supply
Records differ on whether the title is freehold or leasehold, so have your lawyer check it. Most units for sale are studios, which compete with each other for tenants.

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 405 to 1,966 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.
- ⚠️ 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is Imperium Residence freehold?
Records differ. The portals list it as freehold, but a 2025 auction notice and one listing describe the title as leasehold. Ask your lawyer to search the title.
Can a foreigner buy here?
Pahang allows a foreigner to buy a home priced at RM1 million or more. Every purchase needs approval from the state executive council (EXCO) and a state levy is payable; ask your lawyer for the current amount. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Malay reserve land, Bumiputera lots and low-cost units are not open to foreigners. Asking prices here are below RM1 million, so most units are not open to foreign buyers.

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.
