Location: how they differ

The two are about 0.4 km apart in a straight line, both on Jalan Imbi. Times Square 2 is next to Berjaya Times Square, with link bridges to that mall, to LaLaport BBCC and to Imbi monorail station, about 100 m away; Hang Tuah LRT and monorail are about 350 m and Bukit Bintang MRT and monorail about 750 m. Branniganz is next to Sungei Wang Plaza: Sungei Wang Plaza is about 130 m, Plaza Low Yat about 210 m and Berjaya Times Square about 240 m, with the Bukit Bintang MRT and monorail stations about 5 minutes' walk and a link bridge to Sungei Wang proposed. For a short-stay guest, Branniganz puts Sungei Wang Plaza and Plaza Low Yat within about 210 m; for a resident, Times Square 2 has bridges to two malls and the monorail.

Layouts compared size for size

The Branniganz review gives gross prices for each type; the Times Square 2 review gives only its range, RM 688,000 to RM 2,565,000, so ask for the current price list.

Both towers have a dual key: Times Square 2's is the 888 sq ft Type C, a 237 sq ft studio and a 619 sq ft one-bedroom behind one foyer; Branniganz's is the 678 sq ft Type B.

Price per square foot and monthly cost

Times Square 2 starts from about RM 1,410 per square foot and Branniganz from about RM 2,163 (gross), so Times Square 2 is much the cheaper of the two per square foot. Branniganz's monthly fee is also higher, RM 1.21 psf including sinking fund against RM 0.66 psf plus a 10% sinking fund, though the developer covers up to RM 0.40 psf of any shortfall in the maintenance account for 2 years from vacant possession. For comparable units (maintenance fee only):

Quit rent and assessment tax come on top at both, and neither unit comes with a car park: parking at Times Square 2 is rented, and Branniganz units do not come with one.

What nearby homes sell and rent for

Around Times Square 2, the references are Lucentia Residences (about 330 m), where 560 to 872 sq ft units sold at about RM 1,600 to 1,790 psf in 2024 to 2026, and Dorsett Residences Bukit Bintang (about 960 m), at about RM 1,630 to 1,830 psf for 657 to 829 sq ft and about RM 1,560 to 1,680 psf for 893 to 1,098 sq ft. Times Square 2 starts below both. Around Branniganz, the references are Tribeca (about 0.5 km, also by EXSIM), at about RM 1,520 to 2,050 psf for 510 to 657 sq ft, and Lucentia Residences (about 0.7 km), at about RM 1,600 to 1,790 psf for 560 to 657 sq ft. Branniganz starts above both, and below EXSIM's own Kyliez Suites and Hanaz Suites launches about 1.8 km away (about RM 2,550 to 2,720 psf, selling prices for buildings still going up, not recorded sales).

For Branniganz, these long-let asks are the fallback if short-stay letting does not work out, before the RM 1.21 psf monthly charge:

There is no long-let asking rent in the reviews for a 344 sq ft studio. Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.

My view: who should pick which

I would not put these two on the same scale. Times Square 2 is a home, or a long-let investment: it starts from about RM 1,410 per square foot against about RM 2,163, the monthly fee is much lower, and it has layouts from a one-bedroom to a three-bedroom with a study, with bridges to two malls and the monorail. Its trade-offs are practical: half the building is 488 sq ft one-bedrooms, no car park comes with the unit, and 20 units share most floors. Branniganz I look at only as a short-stay (Airbnb) investment, not a home I would buy to live in. It is furnished down to the bed and TV, the Mana Mana Hospitality package can run it for you, and it sits beside Sungei Wang in Bukit Bintang. But the low ticket comes from small units, not a low price per square foot, the RM 1.21 psf fee eats into any rent, 490 of the 759 units are office suites outside the Housing Development Act, and completion is expected in 2028.

Pick Times Square 2 if…

• you want a home to live in, or a unit to let on ordinary leases;
• you want the lower price per square foot and the lower monthly fee;
• you need two or three bedrooms, or more than 678 sq ft;
• you want link bridges to Berjaya Times Square, LaLaport BBCC and Imbi monorail.

Pick Branniganz if…

• you want a short-stay (Airbnb) investment, not a home to live in;
• you want the unit furnished and run for you through the optional Mana Mana Hospitality package;
• you want an address beside Sungei Wang Plaza, about 5 minutes' walk from Bukit Bintang MRT;
• you accept a higher price per square foot and a RM 1.21 psf monthly fee, and do not need a car park.
