Branniganz vs Phoeniz Suites 2026: Price, Layouts & Location — Which Suits You?

Quick answer: Branniganz or Phoeniz Suites?

Both are EXSIM towers built as short-stay (Airbnb) investments, handed over furnished, with a Mana Mana Hospitality management package and the same RM 1.21 psf monthly fee. Choose Branniganz if you want the lowest entry ticket (RM 803,500 for a 344 sq ft studio) right beside Sungei Wang Plaza in Bukit Bintang, with completion expected in 2028. Choose Phoeniz Suites if you want a smaller building (394 units), a slightly lower price per square foot (about RM 2,100) and an entry unit that clears the RM 1 million foreign-buyer threshold, about 350 m from Ampang Park MRT.

Side by side (checked, updated September 2026)

Location: how they differ

Branniganz and Phoeniz Suites are about 2.2 km apart in a straight line, and they sit in different parts of the city centre. Branniganz is in the Bukit Bintang shopping strip: Sungei Wang Plaza is about 130 m away, Plaza Low Yat about 210 m and Berjaya Times Square about 240 m, with the Bukit Bintang MRT and monorail stations about 5 minutes' walk and Imbi monorail about 310 m. Phoeniz Suites is on Jalan Liew Weng Chee in the Golden Triangle: Ampang Park MRT is about 350 m away, the Kelana Jaya line stations about 560 m, Suria KLCC about 800 m and KLCC Park about 910 m. Branniganz units do not come with a car park; Phoeniz has a mechanical car park.

Layouts compared size for size

The Phoeniz review does not give a price for each type; its price range is RM 1,016,400 to RM 1,421,600, so ask for the price list by type. At the same 678 sq ft, the Branniganz dual key has two bedrooms and the Phoeniz dual key has one. Only Branniganz has a studio.

Price per square foot and monthly cost

Phoeniz is about RM 2,100 psf; Branniganz starts from about RM 2,163 psf. Both charge RM 1.21 psf a month including sinking fund, so the fee is the same for the same size:

These are the maintenance fee only. The early-years support differs: at Branniganz the developer covers up to RM 0.40 psf of any shortfall in the maintenance account for 2 years from vacant possession, and at Phoeniz EXSIM subsidises up to RM 0.33 psf for 2 years. Ask each what the fee looks like after that, and confirm the terms in writing.

What nearby homes sell and rent for

For Branniganz, the closest references are Tribeca (about 0.5 km, also by EXSIM) and Lucentia Residences (about 0.7 km). In 2024 to 2026, Tribeca's 510 to 657 sq ft units recorded 5 sales at about RM 1,520 to 2,050 psf, and Lucentia's 560 to 657 sq ft units recorded 5 sales at about RM 1,600 to 1,790 psf. Asking rents are RM 3,000 to 3,200 for a 510 sq ft Tribeca unit and RM 3,900 to 4,500 for a 654 to 664 sq ft Lucentia unit. There is no like-for-like recorded sale or long-let asking rent for a 344 sq ft studio.

For Phoeniz, the closest references are Star Residences (about 0.4 km) and Sky Suites @ KLCC (about 1.1 km). Star Residences' 624 to 678 sq ft units recorded 11 sales at about RM 1,470 to 2,160 psf (median about RM 1,620), and Sky Suites @ KLCC's 549 to 689 sq ft units recorded 6 sales at about RM 1,020 to 1,530 psf. Asking rents are RM 3,900 for a 625 sq ft Star Residences unit and RM 3,400 to 4,000 for a 649 to 710 sq ft Sky Suites unit.

Both launch prices sit above what these finished neighbours actually sold for, size for size. Because both are short-stay investments, read these monthly long-let rents as the fallback if short-stay letting does not work out, before the RM 1.21 psf fee. Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling. I have no recorded short-stay income to show for either.

My view: who should pick which

I look at both as Airbnb investments, not homes, and I would not buy either to live in myself. They are close cousins: same developer, same fee, same management package, and the same top size of 678 sq ft. The real differences are the ticket size, the building and the wait. Branniganz lets you in for RM 212,900 less, but that comes from a 344 sq ft studio, not a lower price per square foot, and Type C alone is 410 units, so a C unit competes with hundreds of identical units for the same guests. Phoeniz costs more to enter, is slightly cheaper per square foot, and has fewer than 400 units in the whole tower, but its 60-month build period is likely the longer wait. If I were choosing a dual key at 678 sq ft for short-stay letting, I would weigh the Branniganz Type B's second bedroom against Phoeniz's smaller building.

Pick Branniganz if…

• you want the lowest entry price into a furnished short-stay unit in Bukit Bintang (from RM 803,500);
• you want to be about 130 m from Sungei Wang Plaza and about 5 minutes' walk from the Bukit Bintang MRT and monorail;
• you want a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom dual key at 678 sq ft to let as two keys;
• you prefer a completion target year (expected 2028) and do not need a car park with the unit.

Pick Phoeniz Suites if…

• you want a smaller building: 394 units, 6 to 10 per floor;
• you are a foreign buyer who needs a city-centre unit above the RM 1 million threshold without overbuying;
• you want the slightly lower price per square foot (about RM 2,100);
• you are comfortable waiting about 60 months after the APDL for keys.
