Foreign buyers

Open in principle

Every developer list price is above the RM1 million KL minimum; state consent and 8% stamp duty apply

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 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.

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.

The real cost

Frequently asked questions

How many units are there, and how big are they?

The developer’s record lists 298 serviced apartments of 491 to 1,329 sq ft in a 46-storey tower. Layouts run from studios (Type A, 491–588 sq ft) to 2-bedroom units (Types B and C, 680–1,186 sq ft) and 3-bedroom dual-key units (Type D, 1,180–1,329 sq ft).

Is Orion Residence freehold?

Yes, it is freehold, on a commercial title for serviced apartments. Utility and maintenance rates on a commercial title are usually higher than on a residential title, so check both before you buy.

Can a foreigner buy at Orion Residence?

In Kuala Lumpur a foreigner needs a property priced at RM1 million or more, with state consent from the Federal Territories Land and Mines Office. Developer list prices here run from RM1,580,000 to RM4,200,000, all above that, so units are open to foreign buyers in principle. Transfers of homes to foreigners pay 8% stamp duty from 1 January 2026.

Adakah Orion Residence pegangan bebas?

Ya, pegangan bebas, tetapi dengan hak milik komersial (pangsapuri servis). Kadar utiliti dan yuran penyelenggaraan biasanya lebih tinggi, jadi semak kedua-duanya sebelum membeli.

在吉隆坡,外国人购买房产一般须达到RM100万或以上,并须获得联邦直辖区土地与矿务局的批准。这里的发展商标价约为RM158万至RM420万,高于门槛,因此原则上可以购买。自2026年1月1日起,转让给外国买家的住宅产业须缴付8%印花税。

How much cash do I need to buy at Orion Residence?

A foreign buyer with a 70% loan needs about RM679,784, before the state consent fee. The full table is in "What buying here costs in 2026".
