QUICK ANSWER

SWNK Houze is a completed, leasehold serviced-suite tower inside the BBCC development on Jalan Hang Tuah, with 441 units from 463 to 1,238 sq ft. Prices run from RM 705,000 to RM 1,461,000, about RM 1,300 psf, and the fee is RM 0.60 psf. My answer is yes for first-time city buyers and anyone who wants the train and LaLaport at the lobby, and a careful maybe for foreign buyers, because only the upper end of the price list crosses the RM 1 million line in KL. Hang Tuah station is about 40 m away in a straight line.

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

Yes, look at it if you:

  • want a city-centre home under RM 1 million; the entry price is RM 705,000;
  • live by public transport; the Hang Tuah LRT/monorail stop is about 40 m away and the MRT stop about 100 m, both in a straight line;
  • want a mall downstairs; the database lists a direct link to LaLaport;
  • like a lower monthly fee; RM 0.60 psf is among the lower figures in this part of town.

No, skip it if you:

  • want freehold; this is leasehold;
  • want a quiet street; BBCC is built around an entertainment hub with Zepp Hall and a cinema next door;
  • are a foreign buyer set on a studio or one-bedroom; those sit below the RM 1 million minimum.

Location and walking context

Straight-line distances from the database coordinates. Walking is always longer than these.

PlaceStraight-line distance
Hang Tuah LRT/monorail (AG9 SP9)about 40 m
Hang Tuah MRT (MR4)about 100 m
Central Rooftop Gardenabout 120 m
Jaya Grocerabout 130 m
LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centreabout 160 to 180 m
Klinik Medivironabout 190 m
SK Jalan Hang Tuah (school)about 400 m
Imbi monorailabout 430 m

Day to day this is the most “car-free” of the three city-centre projects I am reviewing this month: three rail lines, a supermarket and a mall in one short radius. For Pavilion and the core of Bukit Bintang you take one stop or walk further.

Layouts: which one I would pick

TypeSizeRoomsMonthly fee at RM 0.60 psf
A (A1–A3)463 sq ftStudio, 1 bath463 × 0.60 = RM 277.80
B549 sq ft1 bed, 1 bath549 × 0.60 = RM 329.40

G (G1, G2)667 sq ftStudio, 1 bath667 × 0.60 = RM 400.20
D (D1, D2)818 sq ft2 bed, 2 bath818 × 0.60 = RM 490.80
E (E1, E2)861 sq ft2 bed, 2 bath861 × 0.60 = RM 516.60
H1,227 sq ft3 bed, 3 bath1,227 × 0.60 = RM 736.20
F1,238 sq ft3 bed, 3 bath1,238 × 0.60 = RM 742.80

My pick: Type D, 818 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Two proper bedrooms each with a bathroom is the most flexible shape in this building: a couple with a guest room, two sharers, or a parent who visits. The fee stays under RM 500 a month.

For a single buyer on a budget, Type C at 657 sq ft (1+1) gives you a small study for very little extra over the 549 sq ft one-bedroom. I would think twice about Type G: at 667 sq ft it is a large studio, but it costs about as much as the 1+1 next to it without the separate room.

The database says the units come partially furnished, with kitchen cabinets, air-conditioners and wardrobes.

Price view

SWNK Houze lists at about RM 1,300 psf. Nearby projects in the same database (developer list figures, not recorded sales):

ProjectStraight-line distanceListed psfStatusTenure
SWNK Houze–about RM 1,300Completed 2026Leasehold
Lucentia Residencesabout 210 mabout RM 1,800Completed 2022Leasehold

Core Residence @ TRXabout 1.1 kmabout RM 2,171Completed 2024Freehold

My reading: on list price per foot, SWNK is the lowest of this group, and it is already finished. Lucentia, its BBCC neighbour, lists higher. Times Square 2 is close in psf and freehold, but you would wait for it to be built. The database does not hold recorded resale prices for SWNK, which is very new, so ask me what has actually sold before you set your offer.

What completed buildings nearby have actually sold for

The table below is a different kind of number: recorded transactions, not this project’s price. It is our own median of each building’s transfers in NAPIC’s open transaction data, covering January 2021 to June 2026, worked out on the floor area shown in each record. A median from a few dozen sales is a rough marker, not a valuation, and it says nothing about where prices go next.

Completed buildingStraight-line distanceRecorded salesMedian psfPeriodTenure
Lucentia Residencesabout 210 m74about RM 1,788Jan 2021 – Oct 2025Leasehold
Eaton Residencesabout 1.95 km79about RM 1,587May 2021 – Apr 2026Leasehold

How to use it: Lucentia sits almost across the road and is also leasehold, which makes it the fairest reference in this table. Its recorded median of about RM 1,788 psf is above SWNK’s list figure of about RM 1,300 psf. Lucentia’s units and finishes differ, so this is not proof that SWNK is underpriced; it simply shows that finished leasehold units in the BBCC pocket have changed hands at higher per-foot levels than SWNK’s list.

Monthly cost

The fee is RM 0.60 psf. Multiply your size by 0.60: the 818 sq ft Type D works out to 818 × 0.60 = RM 490.80 a month. Quit rent, assessment and insurance are extra.

Foreign buyers

A foreign buyer in Kuala Lumpur needs a unit priced at RM 1,000,000 or more, and the purchase needs consent from the land authority. SWNK runs from RM 705,000 to RM 1,461,000, so only part of the price list qualifies, mainly the larger units. Ask me for the exact price of each unit you like and check it against the RM 1 million line before you commit. The title is commercial under HDA and the tenure is leasehold; ask for the remaining lease years on the title.

3 things to check at the viewing

  1. Noise on event nights. The BBCC entertainment hub sits next to the tower. If you can, view once on a weekday evening and once on a weekend night.
  2. Your car park, unit by unit. The database lists 249 accessory bays and 94 floating bays, and says to check the sales chart for each unit. Confirm in writing whether your unit has a bay.
  3. The furnishing list. Units are partially furnished; walk through the list against what is actually installed in your unit.
