QUICK ANSWER

Cappella Embassy is the relaunched D’Rapport Residences, five 38-storey towers on Jalan Nipah just off Jalan Ampang, now in the hands of TS Law Developments. The buildings already exist: D’Rapport received its CCC on 12 April 2022, and TS Law is refurbishing them, aiming to finish the works in Q4 2026. There are 1,099 homes from 1,109 to 10,635 sq ft on 9.12 acres of leasehold land, and the fee is RM 0.40 psf including sinking fund. Prices run from RM 1,114,000 to RM 3,430,000. My answer is yes if you want family-sized space on the Ampang side of the city and are happy with a refurbished home, and no if your heart is set on a fresh-from-the-developer tower in the KLCC core.

My verdict: who it suits, who it doesn’t

Yes, look at it if you:

  • need three bedrooms or more; most of the family types are 3+1 bedrooms with 4+1 bathrooms;
  • want a private hospital within walking range; Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur is about 270 m away in a straight line;
  • would rather inspect a standing building than buy off a brochure;
  • care about running costs; RM 0.40 psf is a modest rate for homes this size.

No, skip it if you:

  • want a small investment unit; nothing here is under 1,109 sq ft;
  • want a unit under RM 1,114,000; that is the lowest price on the list;
  • want freehold; the land is leasehold.

Location and getting around

Distances are straight-line from the database coordinates, so treat them as “at least this close”, not walking routes.

PlaceStraight-line distance
SK Kuala Ampang 2 (primary school)about 160 m
Gleneagles Kuala Lumpurabout 270 m
Libyan Schoolabout 410 m
Great Eastern Mallabout 620 m
Cold Storage at Great Eastern Mallabout 630 m
Datum Jelatek Shopping Centreabout 690 m
Jelatek LRT (Kelana Jaya line)about 770 m
Dato’ Keramat LRTabout 1.06 km
Taman Tasik Datuk Keramatabout 960 m

Day to day: groceries, a mall and a big private hospital all sit inside about 700 m, which covers most errands. The LRT is close enough for a commuter who does not mind a short walk or a quick drop-off, but on Jalan Ampang most residents will still drive. The neighbours along this stretch are mostly embassies and homes rather than bars and offices.

Penthouse (triplex)10,635 sq ft5+1 bed, 6+2 bath3 to 410,635 × 0.40 = RM 4,254.00

Special types from 1,528 to 3,046 sq ft (2-2, 2-2C, 2-3, 2-4 and 2U-1 to 2U-4) come with 2 car parks each.

My pick: Type B, 1,927 sq ft, 3+1 bedrooms. It has the same room count as the biggest standard type, A1 and A2, but costs about RM 133 less a month in fees, and it can come with up to 3 bays, which matters for a family with two drivers and a helper. Compared with Type C, the extra 300 sq ft goes into living space, so a family of five does not feel squeezed.

If you are a couple and want the lowest monthly outgoing, the D types are all within 43 sq ft of each other; choose the floor and the view, not the size.

Price view

Cappella’s prices run from RM 1,114,000 to RM 3,430,000. Here is where the neighbours sit, as developer list figures from the same database (not recorded sales):

Jewel by OxleyRM 1,784,000678 to 2,185 sq ftRM 0.66 psfFreeholdCompleted 2025

My reading: the KLCC-side towers are smaller homes with higher fee rates. Cappella is the opposite trade, more space and a lower rate, a little further out. Ask me for the price of the type you like, compare it per square foot against these, then decide how much the KLCC postcode is worth to you.

Monthly cost

The fee is RM 0.40 psf, sinking fund included, as approved at the AGM on 27 June 2026. Multiply your size by 0.40: for the 1,927 sq ft Type B that is RM 770.80 a month. Quit rent, assessment and insurance are on top.

Foreign buyers

Cappella Embassy is in Ampang Jaya, Selangor, even though the postal address reads 55000 Kuala Lumpur. In this part of Selangor a foreign buyer needs a unit priced at RM 2,000,000 or more, only strata property qualifies, and the purchase needs approval from the State Authority. Cappella’s prices run from RM 1,114,000 to RM 3,430,000, so some units clear that line and others do not: check the price of your exact unit before you book. The title is residential under HDA.

3 things to check at the viewing

  1. What “refurbished” means for your unit. Ask for the scope in writing: inside the unit, the common areas and the facilities, and the handover date for your block.
  2. The fittings list. Units come partly furnished (digital lockset, air-conditioners, kitchen cabinet with hood and hob, microwave, fridge, washer-dryer, wardrobes, water heaters, a jacuzzi in selected types). Confirm which items your type gets.
  3. Car parks for your exact unit. The range is 1 to 4 bays depending on type; get the number written into your booking.
