Towers
3 towers · 57 and 58 storeys
Tower 3 is the Ascott Star KLCC (Wikipedia); on 4.12 acres (developer)
Units
About 1,510
557, 482 and 472 by tower on the developer’s site (Wikipedia gives 471 for Tower 3); EdgeProp and PropertyGuru give about 1,700
Layouts
625–2,971 sq ft
1 to 3 bedrooms and larger units; the developer lists 10 types in Tower 1 (635–2,207 sq ft), 11 in Tower 2 (700–2,971 sq ft) and 13 in Tower 3 (689–2,971 sq ft)
Foreign buyers
Most units near or above the RM1 million minimum
The smallest units can trade close to RM1 million; check the agreed price. State consent and 8% stamp duty apply
Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Star Residences
A large freehold development a short walk from KLCC. Here is the case, and what to check.
Close to KLCC
PropertyGuru puts the development about 400 m from KLCC, with Suria KLCC, Avenue K and the KLCC LRT and Persiaran KLCC MRT stations nearby.
Facilities on two levels
Level 6 has a 50-metre pool, cabanas, a gym, a sports lounge, a banquet room and KTV rooms; the sky parks add a sky bar, a party lawn and a hot spring spa pool (PropertyGuru).
Smaller entry sizes
Units start at about 625 sq ft, which keeps the ticket size lower than at most KLCC addresses and suits rental buyers.
What to weigh: a lot of supply
With some 1,500 units, about 200 sale listings and 190 rental listings were live in October 2026 (iProperty for Star Residences One plus PropertyGuru for Star Residences Two), so expect competition for tenants and buyers.
The development
Star Residences, decoded

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.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted median, all sizes | about RM1,915 psf · most sales RM1,640–2,074 psf | EdgeProp, past 48 months to Oct 2026 |
| Transacted highest and lowest on record | RM3,176 psf (667 sq ft, May 2018) · RM1,013 psf (829 sq ft, Nov 2016) | EdgeProp, seen Oct 2026 (early records are sales before completion) |
| Asking for sale, Star Residences Two | average RM1.33m (1 bed), RM1.69m (2 bed), RM2.96m (3 bed) · about RM1,860–1,940 psf | PropertyGuru (94 listings), Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole unit | from about RM3,500 a month | iProperty (Star Residences One, 130 listings) and PropertyGuru (Star Residences Two, from RM3,799), Oct 2026 |
The transacted rows are recorded sales as summarised by EdgeProp; the median covers the 48 months to October 2026. The asking rows come from PropertyGuru and iProperty listings seen in October 2026 and are not agreed prices. EdgeProp estimates a rental yield of about 4.67%. Ask Jason for the latest recorded sales in your tower 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 635 to 2,971 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.
