M Aspira Taman Desa Review 2026: Price, Layouts, Location & Who It Suits

Quick answer: who is M Aspira for?

M Aspira suits first-time buyers, young families and upgraders who want a two-, three- or four-bedroom home in the established Taman Desa area at a lower entry price, from RM 538,800 for 706 sq ft. It is less suited to buyers who want a small building: 1,618 homes share two towers of 66 and 69 storeys, with up to 17 units on a floor.

My view

M Aspira's appeal is a practical family home in a mature neighbourhood at a moderate entry price. The plan is simple: three layouts, every unit with two bathrooms and a balcony, and a four-bedroom of 1,006 sq ft for families who need the extra room more than the extra space. All units come with air-conditioners in the living room and every bedroom, water heaters and a kitchen cabinet with hood and hob. The 1.21-acre facility deck on Level 13 has a 50 m lap pool and indoor badminton and pickleball courts, and Tower B has a Sky Lounge on Level 69. The trade-off is scale: 1,618 homes, 17 units on each floor of Tower B, and a 2.4 m ceiling height under the pelmet. The car park allocation is tight for the smaller types: Type A comes with one bay and Type B with two in tandem.

• Suits: first-time buyers and young families; upgraders from the area who want four bedrooms at a moderate price; buyers who want a large facility deck.
• Think twice if: you prefer a low-density building, need two side-by-side car parks in a smaller unit, or want to walk to a train.

Project facts (checked, updated October 2026)

Who is the developer?

M Aspira is developed by Mah Sing Properties Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mah Sing Group Berhad, based at Wisma Mah Sing on Jalan Sungai Besi. The architect is Architects 61 Sdn Bhd. Mah Sing's other current project in this part of Kuala Lumpur is M Aurora on Old Klang Road; see the M Aurora review.

What is near M Aspira?

Distances are approximate.

For driving, the SALAK Highway and the Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway are about 2 km away, the KL-Seremban Expressway about 3 km and the Federal Highway about 4.2 km, and the project has new links to the KL-Seremban Expressway. Bangsar is about 6 km away. A shuttle service to Kuchai MRT station is listed for the project; confirm the terms before you rely on it.

What do nearby homes actually sell and rent for?

The closest completed reference of similar size is Desa Green Serviced Apartments, about 600 m away, with units of 721 sq ft and about 950 sq ft. There is no newer completed project of this type within 1.5 km, so the second reference is TRIA Seputeh, completed in 2023 and about 2.1 km away, with units of 764 sq ft and about 1,000 sq ft.

Recorded sale prices, 2024 to 2026

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. M Aspira's starting figure of about RM 762 per square foot sits above what Desa Green's units of similar size sold for (about RM 520 to 690) and well below TRIA Seputeh (about RM 910 and up). That is roughly what you would expect: Desa Green is an existing building nearby, while TRIA Seputeh is a newer building closer to Old Klang Road and Mid Valley. M Aspira is a launch price for a building expected in 2029, while both references are finished buildings you can inspect today. Many of TRIA Seputeh's records sit on neighbouring floors within a few weeks, so some may be the developer selling its last units. RM 762 is the starting figure; ask for the price of the exact unit and tower you are quoted. For rent, Desa Green's 714 to 715 sq ft units, close to M Aspira's 706 sq ft Type A, are listed at RM 1,700 to 2,000 a month, and its 945 sq ft units at RM 2,000. TRIA Seputeh's 1,001 sq ft units, about the size of the 1,006 sq ft Type C, are mostly listed at RM 3,300.

Which M Aspira layout suits you?

What I would pick. Type B at 855 sq ft is the one I would look at first for a family: three bedrooms at a size that keeps the price moderate, and it is the show unit, so you can see it before you buy. If you need four rooms, Type C fits them into about 1,000 sq ft, though all four bedrooms share two bathrooms. Type A suits a first home or a couple, but comes with only one car park. Ask which side your unit faces: the towers look towards KL City Centre to the north, Sri Petaling to the south, Petaling Jaya to the west and Cheras to the east, and some units face the facility deck.

What does it cost to hold each month?

The maintenance fee is RM 0.36 per sq ft a month, including the sinking fund, so:

On a 1,000 sq ft unit that is about RM 360 a month, against about RM 400 at The Atas Residences, RM 380 at Gen Starz and RM 330 at Arte Star. Quit rent and assessment tax come on top.

Price per square foot against its neighbours

Arte Star is about 1.4 km away, The Atas Residences about 1.5 km and Gen Starz about 2.4 km. M Aspira sits in the middle on price per square foot: above Arte Star and The Atas Residences, below Gen Starz. The Atas Residences is the option for larger family units from about 1,150 sq ft; Gen Starz is a much smaller project at 360 units. See the Atas Residences review and the Gen Starz review.

Facilities

The ground floor has a drop-off and entrance lobby, a parcel and mail room, a nursery, a kindergarten, retail space, a management office, a surau and landscape gardens. The Level 13 facility podium, a 1.21-acre open deck, has a 50 m lap pool, a children's pool and water play area, a jacuzzi, a sun deck, a family deck, a floating pavilion, a 3,000 sq ft gymnasium, a 3,120 sq ft multi-purpose hall, indoor badminton and pickleball courts, a children's playground and play room, a games room, a hanging viewing deck, a co-working space, a gourmet kitchen, an outdoor lounge, outdoor dining and BBQ with halal and non-halal pits, changing rooms, a viewing deck and a glamping area. Tower B has a Sky Lounge on Level 69.
