Khaya Residences Sixty-one storeys on Jalan Bangsar

On Jalan Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, between the city centre and Bangsar proper. The sales gallery is at G-06, Menara TNB Bangsar, No. 170 Jalan Bangsar, 59200 Kuala Lumpur. LRT Abdullah Hukum, Kerinchi, Universiti and Bangsar, MRT Pusat Bandar Damansara and KTM Angkasapuri and Mid Valley are all in the surrounding catchment, and the Federal Highway, New Pantai Expressway, Sprint and Salak expressways meet within minutes.

One tower, sixty-one storeys, 795 serviced apartments. Twelve typical layouts run from 630 sq.ft. to 1,321 sq.ft., and above them sits a run of one-off X-series units — two of each — from 857 to 2,427 sq.ft. Facilities are spread across three levels rather than one podium: Level 8, Level 60 and Level 61.

Most of it. Indoors: a pickleball court that doubles as a multipurpose hall, a gymnasium, a yoga and dance room, sauna rooms, a home theatre, a music room, a game room, a reading room, a children's playroom, a private party room, a lounge and co-working space and a laundromat. Outdoors: a 50-metre infinity lap pool, a wading pool and waterplay area, three cabanas, two dining pavilions each with a BBQ counter, a jacuzzi and an outdoor shower, a party lawn, a putting green, a sensory garden, a herb garden, an adventure playtower and a reflexology path. Over forty things in total.

Level 60 is the Sky Gym and a green rooftop deck. Level 61 is the Sky Lawn, at the very top of the tower. Putting the gym sixty floors up rather than on the podium is unusual in Kuala Lumpur, and it is the thing people remember about this building.

Depends what you are doing with it. For letting, Type B at 630 sq.ft. is the entry one-bedroom and Type A at 772 — by far the most numerous in the building — adds a study. For living, Type G is the smallest genuine three-bedroom with three bathrooms, Type K at 1,164 adds a utility, and Type L at 1,321 is the largest typical plan and the only one with two balconies. Tell me which and I will send the drawing and what is available on that stack.

In principle yes, but it depends on the unit. Kuala Lumpur sets the floor for a foreign purchase at RM1,000,000, and the smaller layouts here are advertised below that, so eligibility is decided unit by unit rather than building by building. These are strata serviced apartments, so the restriction that applies to landed residential title does not come into it. Purchase by a foreign buyer needs state consent, which I apply for, and from January 2026 the memorandum of transfer stamp duty for a foreign buyer is a flat 8 per cent.

June 2029 on the developer's own statutory block. The advertising and sales permit runs to December 2027, which is a shorter window — that is normal, because a permit covers the period a developer may advertise and sell rather than the build itself, and it will be renewed before handover. The liquidated ascertained damages clause in the sale and purchase agreement is your protection if the date slips.

Bayu Mantap Sdn Bhd, company number 201101037126 (965260-D), a member of the Melati Ehsan Group, building in collaboration with Tenaga Nasional Berhad — the largest listed power company in Southeast Asia, whose own tower is next door and houses the sales gallery. The developer's licence is 30531/08-2028/0208(N) and the advertising and sales permit is 30531-1/12-2027/1185(N)-(S). The approving authority is Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur and the advertisement was approved by Jabatan Perumahan Negara — you can check it at teduh.kpkt.gov.my.

Yes, and it is worth knowing before you sign. The statutory block records a restriction in interest: the land cannot be transferred, leased or charged without the consent of the Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur Land Executive Committee. That applies to every buyer, not only foreign ones. Your solicitor handles the application as part of the conveyancing, but it adds a step and a little time, and you should budget for both.

Pricing is released on application rather than published here, and with a 630 sq.ft. one-bedroom and a 2,427 sq.ft. X-series unit in the same tower the range is wide. WhatsApp me with the layout and roughly which level you are after; I will send the developer's current price list, tell you what is still available on that stack, and set out the full cash requirement stage by stage including legal fees, stamp duty — at the foreign rate if that applies to you — and the progressive payment schedule to completion.
