Orion Residence Review: From RM 1,450,000 — Worth Buying?

Quick answer: who is Orion Residence for?

Orion Residence suits buyers who want a completed, fully furnished home in Bukit Bintang, from a 491 sq ft studio to a 1,329 sq ft dual key, in a tower of only 298 units. It is less suited to buyers watching running costs, as the monthly fee is RM 1.32 psf, or to families who need more than 1,329 sq ft in a single unit. For the latest price list and available units, WhatsApp +60 17-279 8932.

My view

In one line: Orion is a fully furnished, hotel-style 46-storey tower in Bukit Bintang with only 298 homes, completed in 2026, from RM 1,450,000; what you accept is a RM 1.32 psf maintenance fee and a largest unit of only 1,329 sq ft.

Living there: units are handed over fully furnished with Gaggenau, Miele, Bosch and Kohler appliances and fittings, so no renovation is needed. Pavilion KL is about 200 m away, Bukit Bintang MRT station about 390 m in a straight line and the monorail station about 330 m. There is a complimentary limousine service within 3 km, a private vault for residents and automated valet parking. The cost of these services is the fee: about RM 1,320 a month for a 1,000 sq ft unit (RM 1.32 × 1,000 sq ft), every month. Bukit Bintang traffic is heavy at peak hours.

On price: at about RM 2,707 to 3,750 psf, the low end falls within sales at Pavilion Suites about 300 m away and the top end goes above them; it is also above every sale at TRX Residences and Banyan Tree Signature. The extra buys a furnished handover, a low unit count and hotel-style services. Work out the psf for the exact unit you want.

Who it suits, who it doesn't: buyers who want a ready, furnished city-centre unit and value a low unit count and privacy, and families who want a separate space for parents or grown children (the 1,329 sq ft dual key). It does not suit buyers who watch running costs closely, or anyone who needs a large family layout.

How long to hold: it is completed, so you can move in once you buy; it suits long-term holding, not a quick resale. If you plan to let, one-bedroom units of 718 to 747 sq ft at Pavilion Suites are listed at RM 5,500 to 6,500 a month, but these are owners' asking prices, not signed leases; deduct the monthly fee when you work out letting.

Check for yourself when viewing: whether the furniture and appliance list for your unit matches the show unit; the terms of the limousine and vault services and whether they cost extra; utility rates and assessment on the commercial title.

  • Suits: buyers who want a ready, furnished unit within walking distance of Pavilion KL and the Bukit Bintang MRT; owners who value low unit count and privacy.
  • Think twice if: the RM 1.32 psf monthly charge is a concern, or you want large family layouts.

Banyan Tree Signature1,076 to 1,195 sq ftRM 5,500 to 9,000

Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.

How I read it. Size for size, Orion's developer price of about RM 2,707 to 3,750 psf starts inside the range Pavilion Suites units actually sold for and runs above its top, and it is above everything recorded at TRX Residences and Banyan Tree Signature. Some recent sales in newly completed buildings are the developer's own first sales being registered, not resales. The honest differences: Orion is handed over fully furnished with Gaggenau, Miele, Bosch and Kohler fittings, while resale units come in whatever condition the owner left them; it has only 298 homes; and its monthly fee of RM 1.32 psf is the higher running cost you pay for the hotel-style services.

Which Orion layout suits you?

TypeSizeConfigurationWho it suits (my view)
A1 to A4491 to 497 sq ftStudioOne person, or a city base
A4-T588 sq ftStudio with terraceOne person who wants outdoor space
B1 to B4680 to 746 sq ft2 bedrooms, 2 bathroomsA couple, or two people sharing

D1 to D41,180 to 1,329 sq ft3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, dual keyA family with parents or grown-up children

What I would pick. The 992 sq ft two-bedroom, two-bathroom C-series unit is the one I would live in: natural marble in the living areas, timber floors in the bedrooms, a bathtub in the master bathroom and nothing left to renovate. The largest layout is the 1,329 sq ft dual-key (two bedrooms plus a studio with its own entrance, kitchenette and bathroom), which suits a family that wants a separate suite for parents or grown-up children. If that is still not enough space, there is flexibility to merge multiple units into one home.
