The Conlay Review: Price, Layouts, Who It Suits

Quick answer: who is The Conlay for?

Conlay suits buyers who want a completed, serviced home in the city centre with real floor area: units start at 743 sq ft, and there are 491 homes over 52 floors. It is less suited to budgets below RM 1.46 million, or to buyers looking for the smallest possible city-centre unit. For the latest price list and available units, WhatsApp +60 17-279 8932.

My view

In one line: Conlay was completed in 2025, with the generous unit sizes and low unit count noted above. The extra you pay buys a finished building, a Kerry Hill design and larger layouts.

On price: The developer's gross price of about RM 2,300 to 2,600 psf is above every 2024 to 2026 transaction at the three completed buildings nearby: 10 Stonor, The RuMa and Banyan Tree Signature. The median of 10 Stonor's 21 transactions is about RM 1,700 psf. So on price per square foot alone, resale units in the area cost less; you choose Conlay because you have seen the finished building and like it for itself.

Living there: Conlay MRT station is about 230 m away in a straight line, one stop from Persiaran KLCC station and TRX, and Prince Court Medical Centre is about 170 m away. The maintenance fee is RM 0.80 psf including sinking fund, about RM 800 a month for a 1,000 sq ft unit. Concierge services, such as parcel packing and linen, are paid for on top of the maintenance fee.

Who it suits, who it doesn't: It suits people who want to move in now and need a city-centre home with real space; a small family that needs two proper bedrooms can look at the 1,206 sq ft Type C or the 1,335 sq ft Type D. It does not suit budgets below the entry price, or anyone after a small studio. The 743 sq ft units come with no parking bay, so drivers should not pick that size.

How long to hold: It suits owner-occupiers and long-term holding. If you plan to rent it out, 801 to 810 sq ft units at 10 Stonor mostly ask RM 4,200 to 4,700 a month, but those are owners' asking prices, not signed leases.

Check for yourself when viewing: Because it is finished, you can view the actual unit you would buy, not just a show unit; whether the south-east facing Type D units really look over the golf course; Phase 1 has 14 units per floor and Phase 2 has 16, so ask which phase your floor is in; and confirm with the developer how utilities are charged on the commercial title.

• Suits: buyers who want a finished, serviced home in the city centre; families who need real floor area rather than a compact suite; buyers who value design and privacy over headline facilities.
• Think twice if: your budget stops below RM 1.46 million, or you want the smallest possible city-centre unit.

Video walkthrough

Project facts (checked, updated September 2026)

What is near Conlay?

Straight-line distances, approximate.

Jalan Conlay puts the financial district, the embassies, the Bukit Bintang shopping belt, hospitals and international schools within the same few blocks. From Conlay station it is one stop to Persiaran KLCC and to the TRX interchange, and the same line runs south towards Bandar Malaysia. Fahrenheit 88, Lot 10 and Starhill Gallery are all on foot, and the International School of Kuala Lumpur and the Royal Selangor Golf Club are close by.

What do nearby homes actually sell and rent for?

The closest like-for-like references are 10 Stonor (about 320 m) and The RuMa (about 710 m), completed buildings a short walk away with units of 743 to 990 sq ft, the same sizes as Conlay's one-bedroom and 1 + 1 types. Banyan Tree Signature (about 730 m), also completed, is a reference for units of about 1,100 sq ft.

Recorded sale prices, 2024 to 2026

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. Size for size, Conlay's developer price of about RM 2,300 to 2,600 psf sits above every recorded sale at all three buildings; the middle of 10 Stonor's 21 sales is about RM 1,700 psf and The RuMa's 22 sales about RM 1,610. Part of that gap is what is being compared: Conlay's figure is the developer's gross list price for a building completed in 2025, while the others are recorded sales, and resale units come in whatever condition the owner left them. The rest is what you are paying for: the Kerry Hill design, Conlay MRT about 230 m away in a straight line, and layouts up to 1,335 sq ft.

Which Conlay layout suits you?

Units range from 743 to 1,335 sq ft. These are the seven types; the price depends on the stack and the floor, so ask for the current list.

Choosing a stack and floor. The layout type fixes the floor area, but the stack decides the outlook and the floor decides the price within each type. Two things in the data help narrow it down. First, the tower was built in two phases with different floor plates: Phase 1 floors carry 14 units served by 5 lifts, Phase 2 floors carry 16 units served by 6 lifts. That works out to about 2.8 homes per lift on a Phase 1 floor and about 2.7 on a Phase 2 floor, so the lift wait should be similar either way; what changes is how many neighbours share your corridor. Second, the south-east facing Type D stacks are the ones that face the Royal Selangor Golf Club, so a buyer who wants the green outlook should start from Type D and then pick the floor. For any other stack, ask to stand in the actual unit before booking, because a completed building lets you check the view, the afternoon sun and the street noise for yourself rather than reading them off a brochure.

What I saw in the show unit. I filmed the Type D, laid out as two bedrooms plus one. To book a viewing, WhatsApp Shyan Yee at +60 17-279 8932. The kitchen has full-height cabinets, a microwave, hood and hob, a fridge, a kitchen island and a washer-dryer; the floors are teak timber and the air-conditioning is ducted. The "+1" is a study with no bathroom of its own. The balcony is a straight balcony, and on the south-east facing Type D units it looks over the Royal Selangor Golf Club. The master has a walk-through wardrobe, and the master bathroom has a bathtub and twin basins.

What does The Conlay cost to hold each month?

The maintenance fee is RM 0.80 per square foot, sinking fund included, so the monthly bill is set by the unit size alone. Worked out for each layout:

On top of this you pay quit rent and assessment to the authorities, plus utilities. Because the land title is commercial (sold under the Housing Development Act), ask the management office how electricity and water are billed before you compare running costs with a building on a residential title. Concierge extras such as courier packing, linen and handyman visits are charged separately when you use them, so they are a choice, not a fixed cost.

For comparison, Eaton Residences next door charges RM 0.65 psf. On a unit of about 1,000 sq ft that is roughly RM 650 a month against about RM 800 at Conlay, a gap of about RM 150 a month, or about RM 1,800 a year.

Buying The Conlay as a foreign buyer

Conlay is in Kuala Lumpur, so the rules that apply are the Federal Territory rules, not those of any state.

• Minimum value. The Economic Planning Unit guideline, updated from 1 March 2014, sets RM 1 million as the minimum value for property bought by foreign interests, subject to the State Authority. Every Conlay layout is listed above that figure, starting from RM 1,460,000, so the smallest 743 sq ft units are not shut out by the floor price.
• Consent from the land authority. A foreign buyer in KL needs consent from the land authority before the title can be transferred. The application is usually prepared by your lawyer after the sale and purchase agreement is signed, and no official processing time is published, so leave room in your timeline. The steps are set out in the KL land authority consent guide.
• Tenure. Conlay is freehold, so there is no lease expiry to plan around when you eventually sell.
• Completed building. Because Conlay was completed in 2025, a buyer living overseas can arrange a video viewing of the actual unit, and the timeline runs from booking to transfer rather than through years of construction.

If you are comparing other KL towers, the state-by-state minimum price guide shows how KL differs from Selangor, Penang and Johor.

The Conlay or Eaton Residences next door?

Eaton Residences on Jalan Kia Peng is about 140 m from Conlay in a straight line, and buyers looking at one usually view the other. The two answer different needs.

Read it this way: Conlay is the newer building on freehold land with fewer homes on almost the same plot, while Eaton covers far bigger households, up to four bedrooms plus one, at a lower price per square foot and a lower monthly fee, on leasehold land. A couple or a family that fits in two bedrooms and cares about tenure will lean towards Conlay; a larger family that needs three or four bedrooms has no matching layout at Conlay at all. The full side-by-side is in Eaton Residences vs Conlay.

Price per square foot against its neighbours

Conlay is the only one of the six with no unit below 743 sq ft, and one of two already completed, with Orion. Per square foot it sits below CloutHaus and Orion and above Phoeniz, Golden Crown and Centrix.

Facilities

Three levels. Level 11 carries the sky garden, heated swimming pool, gym, yoga room, sauna, jacuzzi, multi-purpose lounge, children's playroom, library lounge, music room, multimedia room, billiard room and meeting room. Level 36 repeats the essentials higher up with a fitness centre, sauna, pool deck, bar and a children's pool. Level 50 is set aside for lifestyle and food and beverage space.

The part that is harder to see on a floor plan is the service. The concierge offers optional services at additional charge, for example postal and courier packing, E&O linen and towels on request, and a basic handyman service.
