Price per square foot and monthly cost
Tangen starts from about RM 670 per square foot; Arte Solaris from about RM 1,150, which is the lowest figure on its price list. So for a similar floor area, Arte Solaris costs considerably more, and what that buys is the Solaris, Mont Kiara address. The fee is also lower at Tangen: RM 0.30 psf plus a 10% sinking fund, about RM 0.33 in total, against about RM 0.44 including the sinking fund at Arte Solaris. Monthly fee including sinking fund:
| Comparable unit | Tangen Residences | Arte Solaris |
|---|---|---|
| About 1,030 to 1,045 sq ft | C, 1,033 sq ft: about RM 341 a month | H1 (duplex, 3 rooms), 1,044 sq ft: about RM 459 a month |
| Tangen's four-bedroom | B, 1,281 sq ft: about RM 423 a month | No duplex of this size listed in the fee table |
| Largest | A, 1,582 sq ft: about RM 522 a month | IA, 2,051 sq ft: about RM 902 a month |
On a 1,000 sq ft unit that is about RM 330 a month at Tangen against about RM 440 at Arte Solaris.
What nearby homes sell and rent for
Next to Tangen, Villa Crystal recorded RM 555,000 to 730,000 for 1,152 to 1,389 sq ft from 2024 to 2026, about RM 480 to 600 psf, and RM 700,000 to 830,000 for 1,615 sq ft, about RM 430 to 510 psf; Anjali North Kiara recorded RM 800,000 to 1.00 million for 1,292 sq ft, about RM 620 to 770 psf. Tangen's starting figure sits well above Villa Crystal and inside Anjali's range. For Arte Solaris's duplexes, the reference is Solaris Parq, about 1.1 km away, where serviced apartments of 721 sq ft sold for RM 685,000 to 830,000, about RM 950 to 1,150 psf, and those of 1,023 to 1,076 sq ft for RM 1.08 to 1.35 million, about RM 1,000 to 1,270 psf. There is no like-for-like for the largest duplexes of 1,840 and 2,051 sq ft.

My view: who should pick which
These are two very different ways to live near Mont Kiara, and I would not choose between them on price alone. Tangen is the family building: no small units, mostly four-bedrooms, side-by-side parking, a residential-only tower of 413 homes and the lower monthly fee. What I would weigh is transport, since the nearby MRT station is still a proposal, and that only Type A has a real balcony. Arte Solaris is the address: you walk to the Solaris Mont Kiara shops and Publika, the homes are duplexes over two floors, and completion is expected in Q4 2026. You pay well over RM 1,000 per square foot for that, the tower holds 603 units on 1.01 acres with office suites on the lower levels, and the palace theme is a matter of taste, so look at the renderings first.
Pick Tangen Residences if…
- you need three or four bedrooms on one floor, from 1,033 sq ft;
- you have two or three cars and want side-by-side bays;
- you want a residential-only building with 8 to 10 homes per floor;
- you want the lower price per square foot and the lower monthly fee.
Pick Arte Solaris if…
- you want to walk to Solaris Mont Kiara, Mercato Solaris and Publika;
- you like a duplex home over two floors, and the palace theme;
- you want international schools from about 1 km;
- you want completion sooner, expected in Q4 2026.
