UEM Sunrise Bhd’s MAIA Mont’Kiara has recorded a 60% take-up rate since its soft launch in August 2026, ahead of its official launch on Nov 10. The RM1.17 billion freehold development comprises 495 units across two 45-storey towers, with prices starting from RM1.54 million.
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 10): UEM Sunrise Bhd’s latest residential development, MAIA Mont’Kiara, has recorded a 60% take-up rate since its soft launch in late August 2026, ahead of its official launch today. The development is expected to be completed in the first half of 2031.
The RM1.17 billion development, located on approximately 5.016 acres of freehold land along Jalan Bayu Kiara in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, comprises two 45-storey towers with a total of 495 bungalow-inspired residential units. Prices start from RM1.54 million, with seven layouts ranging from 1,485 to 2,982 sq ft.
Units are designed with an emphasis on space, privacy and flexibility, featuring six residences per floor, large balconies and additional parking space. Selected layouts also offer private lift lobbies and dual master bedrooms, while lanai areas can be adapted to accommodate additional living space or rooms.
UEM Sunrise managing director and CEO Shaharul Farez Hassan said: “Property development remains at the heart of UEM Sunrise, supported by decades of experience, proven development capabilities and a deep understanding of the markets we serve. MAIA is our flagship development that reflects the qualities we want to bring to more of our future residential projects, such as generous living space, nature-inspired environments and community-focused designs that cater to different generations and evolving lifestyles.”
He added that Mont Kiara continued to attract homebuyers due to its established community, connectivity and lifestyle amenities, while the response to MAIA reflected the importance of incorporating buyers’ preferences into residential developments. Approximately 42% of the development’s land area is allocated to landscaped spaces and lifestyle facilities. The project has also secured GreenRE Provisional Gold certification and incorporates sustainability features such as rainwater harvesting systems and electric vehicle charging facilities.
UEM Sunrise chief marketing officer Emily Teh said homebuyers were increasingly considering how residential properties could accommodate their lifestyles and changing needs, beyond factors such as location and built-up area. She said MAIA was designed to provide a resort-inspired residential environment through flexible layouts, facilities and communal spaces intended to support interaction among residents.
UEM Sunrise’s involvement in Mont’Kiara dates back to 1993, when its predecessor, Sunrise Bhd, developed Mont’Kiara Pines. Since then, the company has undertaken several residential and integrated developments in the area, including 28 Mont’Kiara, Arcoris, Residensi 22, Astrea, Allevia and The MINH, which has been fully sold. Beyond its property development activities, UEM Sunrise is pursuing opportunities across its commercial, industrial and international portfolios, including in Johor where it is looking to capitalise on opportunities arising from the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).
