Subang Jaya is the township south-west of Petaling Jaya, along the Federal Highway towards Shah Alam and Klang. The new homes here are spread out: USJ 25 near Main Place Mall, Federal Avenue beside the Federal Highway, and Subang 2 on the Shah Alam side.
Every project we track here
| Project | From | Sizes | Per sq ft | Tenure | Ready? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luminar Residence @ Federal Avenue | RM356,000 | 549–1,389 sq ft | RM648 | Freehold | Expected 2029 |
| Alora Residences @ Avenue25, USJ 25 | RM470,800 | 568–1,457 sq ft | RM829 | Freehold | Expected 2027 |
Starting prices are gross and change with unit type, floor and availability. Per sq ft is the starting price divided by the smallest layout.
Getting around
- LRT: USJ 21 and Alam Megah on the Kelana Jaya line near USJ 25; Kerjaya on LRT 3 near Federal Avenue.
- KTM: Batu Tiga KTM Komuter station is near Federal Avenue.
- Highways: the Federal Highway, LDP, ELITE, KESAS and NKVE; each project page gives the measured distance to its nearest station.
What the price range actually tells you
The spread between RM356,000 and RM470,800 is not a quality gap. It reflects unit size, floor, tenure and how far a particular building sits from the station and the shops.
Cost per square foot is the fairer comparison, and even that needs care: small layouts always read expensive per square foot, because kitchens and bathrooms cost much the same to build whatever the size of the unit.
By budget
| Starting price | Projects |
|---|---|
| Under RM700,000 | Luminar Residence @ Federal Avenue RM356,000 Alora Residences @ Avenue25, USJ 25 RM470,800 |
The starting price buys the smallest or lowest unit. Larger layouts and higher floors in the same building cost more, so a budget that only just reaches the starting price leaves few units to choose from.
Tenure here
Freehold: Luminar Residence @ Federal Avenue, Alora Residences @ Avenue25, USJ 25.
Tenure affects financing and resale more than daily life, and on a leasehold title the number that matters is the remaining term.
For foreign buyers
This area is in Selangor, not Kuala Lumpur. A foreign buyer needs approval from the Selangor state authority, and the state sets its own minimum purchase price, which differs from Kuala Lumpur's. Ask me for the current threshold and which units in each project clear it before you choose.
Cash before the keys
The price is not the only money you need. These are paid in cash, because a bank does not lend them:
- The down payment: the part of the price the loan does not cover.
- Stamp duty on the transfer: worked out on the price in the sale and purchase agreement; for a foreign buyer it is 8%.
- Stamp duty on the loan agreement: 0.5% of your loan.
- Legal fees on the sale and purchase agreement and on the loan agreement.
How much that comes to depends on the unit, the loan you take and the package the developer offers at the time, which differs from project to project, so we do not work it out on the starting price here. Ask me how much cash you need for the unit you are looking at, and I will work it out with the current price list.
How each item is worked out is on the cash before the keys guide and the buying costs calculator.
Ready now, or waiting
Nothing here is completed yet. Not yet completed: Luminar Residence @ Federal Avenue (expected 2029), Alora Residences @ Avenue25, USJ 25 (expected 2027).
A completed building lets you walk into the actual unit and check the light, the view and how the building is run. A unit under construction is paid for in stages as the work progresses, and if you are renting while you wait, that rent belongs in the comparison too.
What to weigh up here
- Three separate locations. One project is about 420 m from an LRT station and others about 1 km or more, so compare the project pages, not the area name.
- Tenure differs by project. Some here are freehold and some leasehold, so check each project page. Foreign buyers need approval from the Selangor state authority.
- All under construction. Expected completion years range from 2027 to 2029.
The monthly number is the one that decides it
Buyers compare entry prices because they are easy to compare. The figure you live with is the instalment plus the maintenance fee, every month, for as long as you own, and the maintenance fee is charged per square foot, so a larger unit costs more twice over.
| Project | From | Illustrative instalment |
|---|---|---|
| Luminar Residence @ Federal Avenue | RM356,000 | RM1,457 |
| Alora Residences @ Avenue25, USJ 25 | RM470,800 | RM1,927 |
Illustrative at a 90% loan over 35 years at 4.2% a year, on the starting price. The maintenance fee comes on top. Your bank's written offer governs.
Before shortlisting, take the monthly figure you are comfortable with, take off an estimate of the maintenance fee, and work the rest back to a purchase price. Then look only at what fits.
What to confirm before you commit
- The maintenance fee per square foot, whether the sinking fund is inside it, and how often it has been revised.
- The car park allocation for your unit, in writing.
- The remaining lease, and whether the strata title has been issued.
- The land title category: residential or commercial changes utility tariffs and assessment.
- The delivery date in the sale and purchase agreement, not the brochure.
Questions
What is the cheapest way into Subang Jaya?
On our list, Luminar Residence @ Federal Avenue at RM356,000.
How much cash do I need before the keys?
The down payment, stamp duty on the transfer, stamp duty on the loan (0.5% of the loan) and legal fees are paid in cash. The total depends on the unit, the loan and the developer's package at the time, so ask Claire for the figure for the unit you are looking at.
Can a foreigner buy in Subang Jaya?
Is anything ready to move into?
Not yet. Every project we track here is still being built.
Which Subang Jaya projects have layouts of 1,000 sq ft or more?
Luminar Residence @ Federal Avenue (up to 1,389 sq ft), Alora Residences @ Avenue25, USJ 25 (up to 1,457 sq ft).
Why is price per square foot so different between buildings?
Distance to rail and shops, the floor, the size of the layout and the tenure all feed into it. Compare within the area and within the same layout type.
How much is the maintenance fee here?
It varies by building and is charged per square foot. Ask for the current rate and the last few revisions before you commit; it is the cost you carry every month for as long as you own.

Read the last two columns together. A lower entry price with a similar cost per square foot usually means smaller layouts, not cheaper space, and an area with little completed asks you to wait, which has its own cost.
Prices are gross starting prices and can change. Confirm the current price and availability before you commit.
