Ayanna Bukit Jalil Review: Price, Layouts, Pros & Cons

Quick verdict: who should buy Ayanna?

My view. Ayanna is the cheapest floor area of any freehold launch I follow in Bukit Jalil, at about RM 639 per square foot. The smallest unit is 1,155 sq ft and there is nothing here below three bedrooms, so this is a building for households that need room, not for a single buyer looking for a small city unit. It is freehold with a residential title, so utilities are at domestic rates, and the monthly fee of RM 0.27 psf is the lowest in the comparison below. What you give up is walkability: the nearest LRT is a drive away, and at 824 units with 9 to 13 homes per floor and 3 passenger lifts per tower, this is a full-sized community rather than a quiet one.

• Suits: families who want the most space per ringgit in Bukit Jalil; buyers who want freehold and residential title; households with two or more cars.
• Think twice if: you want to walk to an LRT station, or you prefer a small, low-density building.

Ayanna at a glance

Where is Ayanna, and what is nearby?

On Jalan Mas in Bukit Jalil, on a 4.9-acre site. Alam Sutera LRT is about 1.5 km away and Kinrara BK5 about 2.5 km, so both are a drive or a feeder ride rather than a walk. Driving routes are the Bukit Jalil Highway, KESAS, the KL to Seremban Expressway, MEX, LDP and NPE.

Nearby: Giant Kinrara (2.5 km), Pavilion Bukit Jalil (3.5 km), IOI Mall Puchong (6.3 km), Sunway Pyramid (7.5 km) and Mid Valley Megamall (8.9 km). Schools and campuses include SJK(C) Lai Meng (3.8 km), Tzu Chi International School (3.9 km), International Medical University (5.2 km), Sunway University (6.9 km), APU (8.2 km) and Taylor's University (8.4 km). Hospitals: KPJ Kinrara (1.8 km), IMU Healthcare (5.2 km), Sunway Medical Centre (6 km) and Columbia Asia (6.9 km). Bukit Jalil Recreational Park is about 4 km away.

How does Ayanna compare with other Bukit Jalil launches?

Ayanna starts below OAKA while offering a much larger minimum unit, which is where the price-per-square-foot gap shows. Against Park Green, the other large-unit freehold here, Ayanna is the budget option; Park Green trades that for a smaller building and a bridge into Pavilion Bukit Jalil.

Which Ayanna layout is best?

What I would pick. Types E and A make up 81% of the building, so those are the two most buyers will choose between, and they are genuinely different homes. Type E at 1,155 to 1,189 sq ft is the entry: a real three-bedroom, and the cheapest way into a freehold residential title here. Type A at 1,365 to 1,400 sq ft adds a fourth bedroom for a step up in price, and it is the layout I would push a growing family towards. Types B, C and D are the rare ones, 19% of the building between them, running up to 2,453 sq ft with four-plus-two bedrooms; if you need that much room, ask which stacks they sit on, because scarce layouts in a large building tend to hold value best.

Facilities

Ayanna is built around a 1.3-acre ground-level park with an interactive stream, cabanas, a fitness area, a parcourse station, a multi-generational play area and a dedicated pet zone with a dog agility trail and pet shower. Level 1 has two badminton courts and a kids' play room; Level 4 the gym; Level 5 games room, co-working space and reading room; Level 6 a function hall. Level 9 is the pool deck: lap pool, family pool, kids' pool with water play, jacuzzi, cascading water feature, pavilion, open lawn and flower garden. Both towers have a sky BBQ deck at the top, on Level 40 and Level 42. Practical provisions include EV charging, a car wash area, parcel and mail rooms, a surau, and space for a kindergarten, laundry and convenience store.
