Arte Solaris Mont Kiara Review 2026: Price, Layouts, Location & Who It Suits

Quick answer: who is Arte Solaris for?

Arte Solaris suits buyers who want a Solaris, Mont Kiara address within walking distance of Solaris Mont Kiara and Publika, from RM 580,000 for an office suite, or who want a duplex home over two floors of up to 2,051 sq ft. It is less suited to buyers who want a residential title or a low-density building: 603 units share one tower on 1.01 acres.

My view

Arte Solaris is two products in one tower at the entrance to Solaris, Mont Kiara: 433 office suites on Levels 1 to 23, and 170 duplex serviced apartments on Levels 23A to 33, where each home runs over two floors. The office suites, from 477 sq ft with one toilet and one car park, are the lower-priced way in, from RM 580,000. The duplexes, from 790 to 2,051 sq ft with two or three rooms, are the homes. The design is the talking point: palace arches, sculptures and flying buttresses on the façade, a pool modelled on the Trevi Fountain, and a Venetian-themed bridge and winged sky deck at the top. You will either like the theme or you will not, so look at the renderings before anything else. What I would weigh against it is density, at 603 units on 1.01 acres, and the commercial title on both products. What I like is the address: the Solaris Mont Kiara shops about 100 m away, Mercato Solaris about 220 m, Publika about 650 m, and international schools from about 1 km. Completion is expected in Q4 2026, so the wait is short.

• Suits: buyers who want a Mont Kiara address from RM 580,000; owners who want a duplex home; buyers who like the palace theme.
• Think twice if: you want a residential title or a low-density building, or you want a train station within walking distance today.

Project facts (checked, updated September 2026)

Who is the developer?

Arte Solaris is developed by Solaris Ceria Sdn Bhd, which is also the landowner. The project is marketed from the Arte Gallery at Arte Mont Kiara, on Jalan Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah. Since the Arte Solaris sales gallery and show unit closed on 15 June 2026, its scale model and appointments have moved to the Arte Star sales gallery.

What is near Arte Solaris?

Distances are approximate.

MRT3 Circle Line stations are planned at Mont Kiara, Bukit Segambut and Dutamas. By road, the area connects to the PLUS (Jalan Duta to Sungai Buloh), DUKE, SPRINT via the Penchala and Kerinchi links, the NKVE and the LDP. MITEC, MATRADE and KL Metropolis are nearby, and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is about 8.8 km away.

What do nearby homes actually sell and rent for?

The closest like-for-like references are two completed buildings in the same Solaris neighbourhood: Solaris Dutamas, about 0.8 km away, for office units of about 506 to 786 sq ft to compare with the office suites; and Solaris Parq, about 1.1 km away, for serviced apartments to compare with the duplexes.

Recorded sale prices, 2024 to 2026

There is no like-for-like for the largest duplexes, Types I and IA at 1,840 and 2,051 sq ft.

Asking rents, September 2026

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

How I read it. Arte Solaris's starting price per square foot, about RM 1,150, sits above what the Solaris Dutamas office units recorded (about RM 800 to 1,050) and inside the range Solaris Parq's serviced apartments recorded (about RM 950 to 1,270). For rent, Solaris Parq's 1,022 to 1,080 sq ft serviced apartments, a similar size to the mid-sized duplexes, are listed at about RM 5,500 to 5,900 a month. Three things keep this from being a straight comparison: Solaris Dutamas and Solaris Parq are finished buildings you can inspect today, while Arte Solaris is expected in Q4 2026; both are freehold, while Arte Solaris is leasehold; and Arte Solaris is handed over semi-furnished, while resale units come in whatever condition the owner left them. RM 1,150 is the lowest figure on the price list, so compare the exact unit you are quoted.

Which Arte Solaris layout suits you?

What I would pick. For a family, the three-room duplexes of 987 to 1,066 sq ft (Types G1, G2 and H1 to H3) are the practical middle, with three toilets and two car parks. For one person or a small office, the 477 to 539 sq ft office suites are the entry point; Types T1, T1A and T1B come with a suggested two-room plan. Each floor has sides facing KL City, Mont Kiara and Segambut, so ask which way your unit faces.

What does it cost to hold each month?

The maintenance fee is about RM 0.44 per sq ft a month including the sinking fund (RM 0.40 before it), so:

On a 1,000 sq ft unit that is about RM 440 a month, against about RM 350 at Stellaris @ Riana Dutamas, RM 330 at Tangen Residences and RM 400 at Bamboo Hills Residences. Quit rent and assessment tax come on top.

Price per square foot against its neighbours

Arte Solaris is the most expensive of the four per square foot and has the smallest land, but it is the only one inside Solaris, Mont Kiara, the only one with duplex homes, and the one expected to finish first. Stellaris is about 1.5 km away in Segambut, Tangen about 2.1 km and Bamboo Hills about 3.0 km.

Facilities

The facilities are on three floors. At ground level are the Royale Reception, a parcel drop-off, a mail room and the management office. The recreational floor (Level R) has the Royale "Trevi" Pool, modelled on the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Arte's Luxe Gym with city views, the Royale Treillage Garden with French-style trellises, and a surau. The sky floor (Level 33A) has the Winged Sky Deck, an open-air viewing deck, the Venetian Fountain Bridge, the Sky Lounge and the Royale Palais Room. Security is multi-tier, and the podium car park uses a helix driveway with a low-gradient ramp.
