PAVILIONSQUAREKUALA LUMPURTHE EPICENTER OF KUALA LUMPUR

At the junction of Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Imbi in Bukit Bintang, on the block directly across Jalan Raja Chulan from Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and immediately behind the Royal Chulan hotel. The site plan in the info kit draws the corporate suites block along the Jalan Raja Chulan frontage and the residences at the Jalan Bukit Bintang end, with a landscaped deck between them and a covered link bridge crossing the road into the Pavilion mall. On rail, three stations on three different lines sit inside six hundred metres: MRT Conlay on the Putrajaya line is about 384 metres out in a straight line, the Bukit Bintang monorail about 547, and MRT Bukit Bintang on the Kajang line about 571. Raja Chulan monorail is about 577 m, MRT Tun Razak Exchange about 879, MRT Persiaran KLCC about 920, Imbi monorail about 963 and LRT KLCC about 1.1 km. On foot from the plot it is about 257 metres to The Starhill, 265 to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, 357 to Fahrenheit88, 486 to Lot 10, 668 to Prince Court Medical Centre, 717 to KLCC Park, 971 to Suria KLCC and about 1.1 km to the Petronas Twin Towers. Every one of those figures is a straight-line measurement taken for this page from the plot to the mapped position of the place — real walking routes always run longer, so read them as the floor rather than the number.

From RM1,150,000, which is the entry price on my own project record for the development and is quoted against the 504 sq ft Type A studio — about RM2,280 per square foot. Two things to know about that figure before you use it. First, the info kit publishes no prices at all: not a price list, not a band, not a single ringgit figure on any of its 17 pages. Everything you will read about Pavilion Square pricing comes from elsewhere, and agent sites round the entry price up to "RM1.24m", which is a different number from mine. Second, no per-type price is published by anybody for the other seven plans, so nobody can tell you what a 1,255 sq ft Type D corner costs without going back to the developer. Around RM2,280 psf is what a Bukit Bintang address with a link bridge into Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is being asked to carry, and it sits above the KLCC-fringe leasehold towers for exactly that reason. Now budget the monthly cost, which is the part buyers skip. Maintenance is RM0.99 per square foot a month with the sinking fund included in that rate rather than billed on top — about RM499 on the 504 sq ft studio, RM762 on a 770 sq ft Type B1, RM1,089 on a 1,100 sq ft C3 and RM1,259 on the 1,272 sq ft C4. And know the parking position before you sign: the 504 sq ft Type A comes with no car park bay at all, while every other type carries at least one. Ask for the current price list with the floor, the band and the unit number written on it — the floor and the aspect move the price meaningfully in a 67-storey tower, and the four corner homes on every floor will not be priced like the studios in the middle.

Leasehold. That is what my own project record carries and what most published sources say; one property blog calls it freehold and is the outlier against everything else, so treat that claim as an error rather than as a second opinion. One agent site puts the lease at 99 years running to 2122, which would leave the great majority of the term intact at handover, but only that one source states it and it is not repeated here. Leasehold is the norm rather than the exception in this part of the city centre, and what actually matters is the balance of the term and the state consent process on a future sale, both of which are questions for the sale and purchase agreement rather than for a brochure. The info kit itself prints no tenure, no land title and no particulars block of any kind — there is no page in it that states who the developer is in law, what the title is, how many units there are or when it completes. One agent site describes the title as commercial under the Housing Development Act; the kit says nothing and no second source confirms it, so this page does not publish it either. Get the tenure, the exact remaining lease term, the land title category and whether the sale is made under the Housing Development Act all confirmed in writing before you commit, because the answer to that last one decides whether the statutory sale agreement, the liquidated damages clause and the ring-fenced housing development account protect your progress payments.

Eight plans, all published in full in the info kit, running 504 to 1,272 sq ft. Type A is a 504 sq ft studio at 5,775 by 9,810 mm — the bed against the window wall behind a run of wardrobes, living and dining beside it, a galley kitchen down the long side and one bathroom. Types B1 and B2 are both one bedroom and a study at 770 and 772 sq ft: two square feet apart on paper and laid out the other way round from each other, so compare the drawings rather than the size figures. Type C1 at 966 sq ft is two bedrooms and the only plan in the building that runs wide rather than deep — 11.37 metres across and 7.3 deep, which puts the living room and both bedrooms on the window wall at once. Types C2, C3 and C4 are two bedrooms and a study at 978, 1,100 and 1,272 sq ft, each one spending its extra area on the master suite: C2 adds a utility room off the kitchen, C3 adds a walk-through wardrobe into the master bath, and C4 is the largest home in the building. Type D at 1,255 sq ft is the three-bedroom corner home and the only plan drawn with a curved window wall, which gives it glazing on two aspects instead of one. Worth noticing: the biggest home here is a two-bedroom, not the three-bedroom. Type C4 is 17 square feet larger than Type D and has one fewer bedroom, so if you want rooms rather than room count, C4 is the one to ask about.

Over 70,000 square feet of them, and the headline ones sit in the crown of the tower rather than on a podium deck. Level 67 carries a 118-metre Sky Pool that runs almost the full length of the roof and wraps two sides of the building. Level 66 is the Sky Garden — a sheltered dining terrace under the slab with mature planting in raised beds and the KL Tower visible through the trees. Level 63A is Sky Wellness, 15,000 square feet of fitness on a single glazed floor, which the info kit calls the largest sky wellness in the Kuala Lumpur city centre. Lower down, Level 12 holds the Courtyard Garden, an outdoor kitchen and long dining table set into a landscaped deck between the two blocks. At street level there is a covered residential drop-off and a double-volume Grand Lobby in fluted stone and travertine with a concierge counter, and the covered link bridge into Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. One caveat, stated plainly. Those five levels and their areas are what the info kit itself prints, and the renders on this page are its own. It publishes no numbered facilities legend and no facilities plan sheet, so the gym, steam and sauna, sports lounge, function rooms and BBQ deck named at the end of the list come from the developer's marketing sites rather than from the kit, and nobody publishes a schedule saying which of them sits on which level. Ask for the facilities schedule alongside the price list.

Twenty, on the typical plate the info kit publishes for Levels 13A to 37 and 39 to 62, laid out in two long bands with a lift core in each band. The upper band runs 06 Type D, 07 Type C2, 08 Type B1, 09 Type B1, 10 Type A, 11 Type A, 12 Type B1, 13 Type B1, 13A Type C2, 15 Type D. The lower band runs 05 Type D, 3A Type C4, 03 Type C1, 02 Type C3, 01 Type B2, 20 Type B2, 19 Type C3, 18 Type C1, 17 Type C4, 16 Type D. The numbering skips 04 and 14, with 3A and 13A standing in, and the four Type D three-bedroom homes take the four corners of the plate — which is why Type D is the only plan drawn with a curved window wall. Six lifts serve each band, so twelve in all for twenty homes a floor — a generous ratio for a 67-storey tower, and the thing you will care about most on a weekday morning. Each core draws two banks of three facing each other across a lobby, with a fire stair, a service riser and a refuse room off it, and two further fire stairs sit back to back at the dead centre of the plate. That gives two Type A, four Type B1, two Type B2, two Type C1, two Type C2, two Type C3, two Type C4 and four Type D on every typical floor. From there one piece of arithmetic is worth doing, and it is arithmetic rather than a developer figure: 960 residences at twenty to a floor is 48 typical floors, and 48 floors of that mix comes to 96 Type A, 192 Type B1, 96 Type B2, 96 Type C1, 96 Type C2, 96 Type C3, 96 Type C4 and 192 Type D — 960 exactly. Nobody publishes a unit mix for Pavilion Square; that one falls out of the published plate and the published total and lands on it to the unit, which is a good sign it is right, but ask for the developer's own mix and the stack plan for the level and band you are looking at before you rely on it.

The 504 sq ft Type A studio comes with no car park bay at all. Every other type — B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4 and Type D — comes with a minimum of one bay. If you are looking at the studio, that is the most important line on this page and you should settle it before anything else: at this end of Bukit Bintang, renting a bay privately in a neighbouring building is neither cheap nor guaranteed, so get a written quote for one and add it to your monthly figure before you commit. For a buyer who does not run a car it matters far less — three rail stations on three lines sit inside six hundred metres of the door and the mall is reached by a covered bridge, so the studio is plainly designed for someone who does not drive. Maintenance is RM0.99 per square foot a month with the sinking fund included in that rate rather than billed on top of it, which is the arrangement you want, since a fund billed separately is an open-ended second charge. On the published built-ups that comes to about RM499 a month on a 504 sq ft Type A, RM762 on a 770 sq ft B1, RM764 on a 772 sq ft B2, RM956 on a 966 sq ft C1, RM968 on a 978 sq ft C2, RM1,089 on a 1,100 sq ft C3, RM1,242 on a 1,255 sq ft Type D and RM1,259 on the 1,272 sq ft C4, the highest in the building. Under a ringgit per square foot is a fair rate for a tower carrying a 118-metre pool, a 15,000 sq ft wellness floor and 67 storeys of lifts. Ask for the exact bay count for your unit type in writing alongside the price list — one bay is the floor, and the larger plans may carry more.

It is the reason this development is called Pavilion Square, and it is drawn on two separate pages of the info kit: once on the street render, crossing Jalan Raja Chulan as a glazed enclosed walkway, and once on the overall site plan, labelled as the link bridge to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. It connects the development directly into the mall, so the walk across is covered, air-conditioned and never touches a pavement or a traffic light — which in Kuala Lumpur, where an unshaded 250-metre walk in the afternoon is a genuine deterrent, changes the practical distance rather than just the measured one. Pavilion Kuala Lumpur's own mapped position is about 265 metres from the plot. What that gets you is the mall's full tenancy, its restaurants and its supermarket on the other end of a covered walk, plus The Starhill about 257 metres away, Fahrenheit88 about 357 and Lot 10 about 486. The thing to confirm is the practical detail rather than the principle: which level of the development the bridge lands on, which level of the mall it enters, whether it is access-controlled to residents and what its opening hours will be. Those decide whether it is a genuine front door onto the mall or a convenience that closes when the mall does, and none of them is stated anywhere in the info kit.

2029. Note that the info kit itself gives no completion date at all and that the figures floating around online are older and inconsistent — you will still find Q2 2028 on one agent site and Q3 2029 on another — so treat 2029 as the current position and ignore the rest. Either way that is a long runway, and your progress payments will run for years before handover. Two things to check in the sale and purchase agreement rather than in any brochure or on any website, including this one: the completion date written into the agreement itself, and the liquidated damages clause that sets what the developer owes you per day if handover runs late. Those two are what you can actually enforce. The developer is the Pavilion Group, building through Armani Hartajaya Sdn Bhd, and the group's associates WCT Holdings Berhad and Malton Berhad are both listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia. Its best known project is Pavilion Kuala Lumpur itself, the mall on the other side of Jalan Raja Chulan that this development connects into — which is an unusually direct way to check a developer's standards, since you can walk through its most awarded building in ten minutes and see how it has been maintained over nearly two decades. If you would rather not walk into a showroom cold, message me and I will arrange the viewing, the current price list and the availability first.
