What MABA Suitez costs to own
Worked from the published figures on this page. The instalment is illustrative — your bank's offer governs.
| Starting price | RM699,000 |
|---|---|
| Roughly per square foot, at the smallest layout | RM2,164 |
| Stamp duty on the transfer, Malaysian buyer | RM14,970 |
| Stamp duty on the transfer, foreign buyer (flat 8%) | RM55,920 |
| Stamp duty on the loan agreement | 0.5% of your loan amount |
| Monthly instalment, 90% over 35 years at 4.2% | RM2,861 |
Transfer stamp duty for a Malaysian buyer is 1% on the first RM100,000, 2% on the next RM400,000, 3% on the next RM500,000 and 4% above RM1 million. Foreign individuals and companies pay a flat 8% from 1 January 2026.
How dense it is
| Units per floor | 12 (Tower A) and 10 (Tower B) on a typical floor |
|---|
Who it suits
- Singles and couples, and landlords letting to them. Layouts start at 323 sq ft, which is a one or two person home rather than a family one.
- Buyers who can wait. Completion is New launch; construction period 60 months from APDL, so budget for rent until then.
- Malaysian buyers. Starting below RM1 million, the entry units fall under Kuala Lumpur's foreign-purchase threshold, so the lower tiers are for local buyers.
What to confirm before you sign
- The service charge per square foot. It is the cost you carry every month for as long as you own, and it varies several times over between buildings.
- Car park allocation in writing. Some city projects allocate none; you rent a bay monthly instead.
- Years remaining on the lease. MABA Suitez is Leasehold, and the remaining term affects both financing and resale.
- The delivery date in the sale and purchase agreement, not the one in the brochure.
Figures on this page are as published by the developer and are gross prices. Last checked 17 October 2026.
Picking a floor: where the facilities are
Before I choose a floor at MABA Suitez, I look at where the shared spaces sit, because they shape both convenience and noise:
- Level 6, the podium: the gymnasium, a coworking lounge and MABA Court, the basketball court. Units just above it are a short lift ride from the gym, but they also sit closest to the court in the evenings.
- Level 47, Tower B: garden, music and games lounges.
- Level 50, Tower B: the pool deck with a kids' pool.
- Levels 53 and 53A, Tower A: the luxe pool, jacuzzi and sky lounges.
So if the top-floor pool matters to you, Tower A keeps it in your own building; in Tower B the family pool on Level 50 is the one closest to home. I always ask for the price of the same layout on a few different floors, so you can see what each step up costs.
Which way your unit faces
MABA Suitez sits across Jalan Hang Jebat from Merdeka 118, and the developer also names TRX, the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower as part of the skyline around it. Which of these you actually see depends on the unit's position on the floor, not on whether it is Type A, B or C. A typical floor has 12 units in Tower A and 10 in Tower B, so the outlook changes a lot from one end to the other. When you shortlist a unit, I will get the key plan for that floor and mark it, so you know the facing before you pay a booking fee. Three schools are about 120 to 140 m away, so I also check which side faces them if you work from home.
The loan and the stamp duty
This is a new launch, so you will pay in stages as the towers go up, and the bank releases your loan the same way. In the early years you only pay interest on what has been released, so the monthly amount starts low and climbs towards the full instalment near handover. The brochure gives 60 months from the APDL to build, so plan your cash for that whole period.
The stamp duty on your loan agreement is 0.5% of your loan. On a RM600,000 loan, for example, that is RM3,000. The stamp duty on the transfer is worked out on the price, as shown in the cost table above. I will also check with the developer which legal fees and stamp duties, if any, it covers for this launch.
If you sell one day
I like my clients to think about the next buyer before they buy. At MABA Suitez that buyer is likely to look a lot like you: someone single or a couple, working in the old city and getting around by train, and not needing a car park, since none comes with the unit. The tenure is leasehold, which some buyers and banks look at closely, so ask how many years remain on the lease. What works in your favour is that the MRT, LRT and Pudu Sentral are all within about 300 m, and a compact unit keeps the total price within reach of more people. I never promise a resale price; I would only buy here if you are happy to live in the unit yourself.
EXSIM's other projects nearby
MABA Suitez is by EXSIM, and two of its other city projects are worth a look before you decide:
| Project | Area | Tenure | From | Sizes | Completion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MABA Suitez | KL City Centre | Leasehold | RM699,000 | 323–657 sq ft | 60 months from APDL |
| Phoeniz Suites | KL City Centre | Freehold | RM1,016,400 | 484–678 sq ft | 60 months after APDL |
| Branniganz Suites | Bukit Bintang | Leasehold | RM803,500 | 344–678 sq ft | Expected 2028 |
In short: MABA has the lowest entry price of the three, Phoeniz Suites is the freehold option in the same part of town, and Branniganz Suites is expected to be ready first. Tell me which matters most to you and I will send the current price lists side by side.
Who lives around here
This corner of the old city is a working neighbourhood. The people I picture living at MABA Suitez are those who already spend their day nearby: office staff at Merdeka 118 and around Merdeka Boulevard, teachers and staff at the Methodist and Confucian schools down the road, and people working in the shops, restaurants and clinics of Petaling Street, Central Market and Pasar Seni. Add to that commuters who want Merdeka MRT, Plaza Rakyat LRT and Pudu Sentral on their doorstep, and owners living outside KL who like that the building is planned to be run by a hospitality management company. If your daily life is in Mont Kiara or Petaling Jaya instead, the trains help, but another area may suit you better.
