Amaya vs Damansara Livista: Price, Size & Which to Pick

Quick answer: Amaya Residences or Damansara Livista?

Choose Amaya Residences if you want a home inside a mixed development, with linkways to DA Central Mall and Ativo Plaza, a link bridge to Sri Damansara Sentral MRT and a wide choice from a 539 sq ft one-bedroom to a 1,230 sq ft three-bedroom. Choose Damansara Livista if you want the lower price per square foot (about RM 680 to 750), the lower monthly fee, a smaller project of 700 homes and completion targeted for Q4 2026.

Location: how they differ

The two are about 0.5 km apart in a straight line, in the same township. Amaya is inside Damansara Avenue, TA Global's 48-acre masterplan: its Level 2 lobby has linkways to Ativo Plaza and to DA Central Mall, which is being built alongside it, and a 320 m link bridge leads to Sri Damansara Sentral MRT. Both the mall and the bridge were still under construction at the last update. Livista is on Persiaran Perdana, in Land & General's Bandar Sri Damansara Club redevelopment: The FLO and Star Grocer are about 50 m away, Senses Park is next to the towers, and Sri Damansara Barat MRT is about 500 m away by a covered pedestrian link.

Layouts compared size for size

Neither review gives a price for each layout; ask for the current price lists. At Amaya, Tower A types end in 1 and Tower B types end in 2.

Prices: Amaya is RM 561,000 to RM 1,200,000; Livista is RM 515,000 to RM 869,000. Car parks: Amaya gives 1 bay for Types A to C, 2 tandem bays for Types D and E and 3 for Type F; Livista gives 1 for Type A and 2 for Type B, tandem below Level 20 and side by side above.

Price per square foot and monthly cost

Amaya is about RM 950 per square foot; Livista is about RM 680 to 750, so Livista is clearly the cheaper of the two per square foot. Part of what the difference buys at Amaya is the mall and bridge connection, a fridge and oven at handover, and a larger facility deck. The fee is RM 0.45 psf at Amaya and RM 0.40 psf at Livista, both including the sinking fund. Maintenance fee only:

What nearby homes sell and rent for

Neither review shows recorded sales for this area, so the references are asking rents at completed buildings nearby. Both use Azelia Residences in Damansara Avenue, about 230 m from Amaya and about 320 m from Livista. Amaya's review adds Ativo Suites, about 190 m from it. Damansara Seresta's rent listings start at about 1,291 sq ft, larger than any Livista unit, so Livista's review does not show them.

Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.

My view: who should pick which

I see this as a connected, larger-scale product against a simpler, cheaper one. Amaya gives you the mall and the bridge to the MRT in one development, a 60 m lagoon pool with rooftop levels above, and layouts that flex into a study or a dual key. Against that, both the mall and the bridge were still being built at the last update, so part of what you pay for is a plan, and 1,268 homes share two towers at the highest fee among its neighbours. Livista is the sensible one: lower price per square foot, a lower fee, 12 units on a typical floor in towers about half the height, and it is targeted to finish first. Its trade-offs are in the detail: the two-bedroom has one bathroom, no water heaters are provided and there are no EV chargers.

Pick Amaya Residences if…

• you want linkways to a mall and a link bridge to Sri Damansara Sentral MRT;
• you want a one-bedroom, or a two-bedroom with two bathrooms;
• you want a dual-key option in a three-bedroom, done at your own cost;
• you want a large facility deck with a lagoon pool, lazy river and rooftop levels.

Pick Damansara Livista if…

• you want the lower price per square foot, about RM 680 to 750;
• you want completion sooner, targeted for Q4 2026;
• you prefer a smaller project of 700 homes with every window facing north or south;
• a 690 sq ft two-bedroom with one bathroom, or a three-bedroom of about 1,012 to 1,035 sq ft, fits your household.
