Luminar Residence Federal Avenue Review 2026: Price, Layouts, Location & Who It Suits

Quick answer: who is Luminar Residence for?

Luminar Residence suits buyers who drive to work along the Federal Highway and want a new serviced apartment in Subang Jaya, with a wide choice from a 549 sq ft 1 + 1 to a 1,389 sq ft 3-bedroom. It is less suited to buyers who want to walk to an LRT station or a mall, or who need a home before 2029.

My view

Luminar is the first residential phase of Federal Avenue, a planned mix of serviced apartments, shops and parks on the Federal Highway. The road is the point: the development is planned with its own ingress and egress to the highway, which links Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam and Klang. The size range is wide for one project, and every unit comes with air-conditioners in the living room and bedrooms, water heaters, a washer-dryer and a digital lock. The facility deck is large, at 1.9 acres on Level 11. The trade-offs are that the nearest rail stations are not walking distance, and completion is not expected until late 2029.

• Suits: owners who commute by car along the Federal Highway; buyers who want to choose between a compact 1 + 1 and a family-size 3-bedroom in the same project.
• Think twice if: you rely on the LRT or want shops downstairs today; you need to move in before 2029.

Project facts (checked, updated October 2026)

Who is the developer?

Luminar Residence is developed by Impiana Impresif Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of BRDB Developments Sdn Bhd, whose head office is at Menara BRDB on Jalan Maarof, Bukit Bandaraya, Kuala Lumpur. Luminar is the first residential phase of Federal Avenue, a mixed development planned with serviced apartments, retail and parks along the Federal Highway.

What is near Luminar Residence?

Distances are approximate.

Federal Avenue sits on the Federal Highway itself, and the ELITE, KESAS and NKVE highways are nearby. KLIA is about 43 km away.

What do nearby homes actually sell and rent for?

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. The closest completed references are Paisley and Paloma Serviced Residences at Tropicana Metropark. Their 600 to 650 sq ft units, near Luminar's 549 sq ft Type A, are listed at RM 1,500 to 2,300 a month, mostly around RM 1,800 to 2,200, and Paisley's 914 to 978 sq ft units, between the 872 sq ft Type C and the 1,076 sq ft Type D, mostly at RM 3,000. We found no current asking rents near the 1,389 sq ft Type E.

Which Luminar Residence layout suits you?

What I would pick. For a family, Type E is the only true three-bedroom and comes with 3 to 4 car park bays. For a couple, Type C gives two proper bedrooms and two bathrooms. Type A is the entry point, and the only layout without a balcony. Types A, C and E are the show units.

What does it cost to hold each month?

The maintenance fee is set per type:

That works out to about RM 0.38 per sq ft, against RM 0.385 at Bayu @ Mori Park and RM 0.35 at Alora Residences. The fees cover accessory parcels such as car parks and air-conditioner ledges; an extra car park costs RM 23 a month. Quit rent and assessment tax come on top.

Price per square foot against its neighbours

Luminar has the widest size range of the four and the largest top unit. Bayu @ Mori Park, about 2 km away in Seksyen 13, starts lower per square foot; Alora Residences is expected first, in 2027. All four are still under construction or newly launched, so none can be inspected as a finished building yet.

Facilities

The 1.9-acre facility podium on Level 11 has a swimming pool, shallow pool, kids' pool and jacuzzi, a pool deck with sunken seating, a basketball half-court, BBQ area and pavilion, a reflexology path, herb garden, hammock garden, lawn and chillax garden, a games room, reading room, gymnasium, children's playground, outdoor fitness station, and indoor and outdoor multipurpose halls. Level 1 has a kindergarten, management office and parcel room; Level 2 has a surau; the rooftop has a pantry and landscape deck. The wider Federal Avenue plan includes three pet-friendly parks, and security is multi-tier.
