|---|---|---|
| Developer price completed units | From RM1,900,000 | Developer listing on PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
No transacted price is published for this tower, and the only listed price is the developer’s asking price. Ask Jason for the current price list.

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 2,314 to 5,489 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026
Worked example for a unit at RM1,900,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

| Down payment | RM190,000 | RM570,000 |
| Loan amount | RM1,710,000 | RM1,330,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM60,000 | RM152,000 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM8,550 | RM6,650 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM21,870 | RM21,870 |

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.
