Aricia Residences Sungai Besi Review 2026: Price, Layouts, Location & Who It Suits

Quick answer: who is Aricia Residences for?

Aricia Residences suits buyers who want a new home on the city-centre fringe with a wide choice of sizes, from a 550 sq ft 1+1 bedroom at RM 461,000 to 1,420 sq ft duplexes, and a large facility deck with a 50 m pool. It is less suited to buyers who want to walk to a train station, since Chan Sow Lin LRT is about 1.3 km away, or who want to move in soon: completion is expected in 2029.

My view

Aricia's draw is its range. In one development you can buy a compact 1+1 bedroom, a 2+1 or 3+1 bedroom family unit, or a duplex with a double-height living room of about 5.9 m. Every type comes with a kitchen fitted by Signature, a digital door lock and inverter air-conditioners, and the facility levels are generous: a 50 m lap pool, an air-conditioned hall of about 3,121 sq ft for badminton or pickleball, a gym of about 2,206 sq ft and a co-working lounge. What I would weigh is the location and the wait. The towers sit on Jalan Sungai Besi, so the LRT and MRT at Chan Sow Lin are a short drive or a shuttle ride rather than a walk, and handover is expected in 2029. The title is commercial, so the residential electricity tariff has to be applied for with TNB after handover, subject to its approval.

• Suits: first buyers who want a 1+1 bedroom close to the city; families who need three bedrooms plus a study at 872 sq ft; buyers who want a duplex at this price level.
• Think twice if: you need to walk to the train, want to move in before 2029, or prefer a building with fewer units on each floor.

Project facts (checked, updated October 2026)

Types A to C currently come with a fully furnished option. Furnishing is not part of the sale and purchase agreement, so ask what the current package includes.

Who is the developer?

Aricia Residences is developed by Aricia Sdn Bhd, part of the Chin Hin Group. Chin Hin describes itself as a builder group covering building materials manufacturing, construction engineering, property development and home and living products, and it builds with the Industrialised Building System (IBS) and Building Information Modelling (BIM). The Signature kitchens fitted in Aricia come from the group's home and living side.

The architect is WDA Architects Sdn Bhd (Wanghc Architect), the main contractor is China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and the landscape architect is Wein Designs Sdn Bhd. The building plans are approved by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur.

What is near Aricia Residences?

Distances are approximate.

KLCC Park is about 5.1 km away and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur about 5.8 km. A shuttle vehicle is listed among the common services.

What do nearby homes actually sell and rent for?

The closest like-for-like reference is Trion @ KL, a completed serviced apartment about 400 m away on the same stretch of Jalan Sungai Besi, with units of about 800 and 1,020 to 1,060 sq ft. Sunway Velocity, a completed serviced apartment about 1.6 km away, is the second reference.

Recorded sale prices, 2024 to 2026

Asking rents, September–October 2026

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

How I read it. Aricia's starting figure of about RM 779 per square foot sits inside the RM 740 to 910 that Trion @ KL's 797 sq ft units were recorded at from 2024 to 2026, and close to the RM 760 to 830 for its 1,023 sq ft units. Trion is the steadier reference: 18 records for one size, mostly between RM 620,000 and RM 700,000. Sunway Velocity's records sit higher, mostly about RM 930 to 1,180 per square foot for units of 850 to 931 sq ft, though two at 888 sq ft were recorded at RM 580,000 and RM 607,000. RM 779 is the lowest figure on the price list, so compare the exact unit you are quoted. Both references are finished buildings you can inspect today; Aricia is expected in 2029. For rent, Trion @ KL's 550 to 610 sq ft units, close to Aricia's 550 sq ft Type A1, are mostly listed at RM 2,300 to 2,500 a month, and its 800 sq ft units at RM 3,000 to 3,200. Sunway Velocity asks more, mostly RM 3,800 to 3,999 for 840 to 850 sq ft. Trion has no rent listings for its larger units, so for the 1,410 to 1,420 sq ft duplexes the only reference is a 1,350 sq ft unit at Sunway Velocity at RM 6,000.

Which Aricia Residences layout suits you?

The 550 sq ft units take 1 car park; the 757 sq ft units 2 to 3; the 872 sq ft units 2; the duplexes 2 to 3 (D1) or 2 (D2).

What I would pick. Type C1 at 872 sq ft, the show unit: three bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms, and it has a hackable wall between bedroom 1 and the study, so the study can be opened up. If the budget reaches a duplex, Types D1 and D2 have a living ceiling of about 5.9 m, an ensuite design and a garden deck. Ask which way the unit faces: each tower has units facing north-east, south-west, south and north.

What does it cost to hold each month?

The estimated maintenance fee is RM 0.38 per sq ft a month, including the sinking fund, so:

On a 1,000 sq ft unit that is about RM 380 a month, against about RM 330 at Arte Star (RM 0.30 plus 10% sinking fund) and RM 600 at SWNK HOUZE and Lucentia Residences. The actual charge is set by the share units under the Strata Management Act 2013. Quit rent and assessment tax come on top.

Price per square foot against its neighbours

SWNK HOUZE is about 2 km away, Lucentia Residences about 2.1 km and Arte Star about 2.9 km. Aricia sits between the two price levels here: well below the Bukit Bintang City Centre projects per square foot, slightly above Arte Star in Salak Selatan, with larger family layouts than either Bukit Bintang project. Lucentia is already completed. For the Bukit Bintang options, see my reviews of SWNK HOUZE and Lucentia Residences.

Facilities

The facilities are on Levels 8 and 9. Level 8 has a 50 m infinity lap pool (1.2 m deep), a sunken wet lounge, a jacuzzi, a wading pool, a pool deck, cabanas, a seating lounge, a parcourse, a reflexology path, a play lawn, a children's playground, a barbecue deck and dining area, a pocket garden, a gymnasium of about 2,206 sq ft, an indoor play gym, an air-conditioned multi-purpose hall of about 3,121 sq ft for badminton or pickleball, a hoop court, a nursing room and changing rooms. Level 9 has a co-working lounge, a music lounge, an outdoor deck, a function room, a games room and surau. On the ground floor are a waiting lounge, the management office and space for a taska. There are EV charging spaces, a car wash bay, a parcel locker room, and storage space in the car park for selected units. Pets are allowed under the building by-laws, provided they cause no nuisance.
