Oxley Towers KLCC — SO/ Kuala Lumpur & Jewel

A freehold mixed-use development on 3.11 acres on Jalan Ampang, next to the Petronas Twin Towers and directly linked to the 50-acre KLCC Park. It holds six components: two hotel and residential towers of 78 and 49 storeys, a 30-storey office tower housing Alliance Bank's corporate headquarters, a two-storey retail boulevard managed by the Pavilion group, a 25,000 sq.ft. signature public plaza, and The Langham hotel with 198 keys opening in 2027.

They are the two residential towers and they are genuinely different products. SO/ Kuala Lumpur Residences occupies the 78-storey tower and is Asia's first SO/ lifestyle branded residence, sitting above the SO/ hotel, with SO/ services on demand and Malaysia's highest residential swimming pool. Jewel by Oxley KLCC is the 49-storey tower, a limited collection of only 267 serviced residences from one to two-plus-one bedrooms, with a resort landscape and its own five-star facilities. SO/ is a branded residence with a hotel operator attached; Jewel is a smaller, quieter building. Which suits you depends entirely on what you are buying for, and I will say which rather than push whichever is easier to sell.

Yes. It sits on one of the last freehold parcels carrying the KLCC postcode, which is the specific reason a lot of international buyers look at it. Most of what trades in this ring runs on a term rather than in perpetuity, and freehold widens the pool of people who will consider your unit at resale — particularly foreign buyers, who often will not consider anything else.

Yes, and comfortably. Oxley Towers is in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, where the minimum purchase price for a foreign buyer is RM1,000,000 for both strata and landed property, half what Selangor asks. Every layout in both towers clears that floor, so unlike some developments the threshold is not the constraint here. State authority consent is still required and granted case by case, typically one to three months after the sale and purchase agreement, and foreign buyers pay a flat 8% stamp duty on the transfer of title from January 2026. There is no requirement to be resident in Malaysia to own property here.

Nine, on the typical floors at Levels 34 to 43 and 47 to 51. Type A-2 is a 566 sq.ft. studio and A-1 a 578 sq.ft. studio on the tower's angled corner. Type C-1 is 711 sq.ft. with 1+1 bedrooms and C-2A is 815 sq.ft. on the corner. The two-bedrooms are D-5A at 894 sq.ft., D-1 at 903, D-2 at 956, D-3 at 956 as a dual-key, and D-4A at 995 sq.ft. on the corner, which is the largest. Jewel's layouts are not published in its concept brochure — message me and I will send them.

A branded residence is an apartment operated to a hotel brand's standards, usually above or beside that brand's hotel, with access to its services. SO/ is Accor's design-led lifestyle brand and this is Asia's first SO/ residence. In practice it means the common areas are maintained to brand standard rather than to whatever a management committee votes for, services like housekeeping and concierge are available on demand, and the name is recognised internationally at resale. The trade-off is a higher maintenance charge, which should be in your numbers from the start — I will put it there.

Two hotels — SO/ Kuala Lumpur and The Langham, the latter opening in 2027 with 198 keys and T'ang Court, the three-Michelin-star Cantonese restaurant from Hong Kong. A 30-storey office tower housing Alliance Bank's corporate headquarters. The Boulevard, a two-storey retail podium managed by the Pavilion group, the same operator behind Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. And a 25,000 sq.ft. signature public plaza. The whole plot is certified BCA Green Mark Gold.

The development is directly linked to it. KLCC Park is 50 acres of public parkland at the foot of the Petronas Twin Towers — the largest green space in central Kuala Lumpur, with a jogging track, a lake and a children's playground. Being linked rather than merely near matters twice over: you walk into it without crossing Jalan Ampang, and because it is public land the outlook over it cannot be built out.

Pricing is released on application rather than published here, and it differs substantially between the two towers and by floor and orientation. WhatsApp me and I will send the current price list for whichever tower fits your brief, tell you what is still available, and set out the full cash requirement stage by stage including legal fees, stamp duty, the maintenance charge and, for a foreign buyer, the 8% transfer rate.
