Location: how they differ

The two are about 0.3 km apart in a straight line, and both connect by bridge to LaLaport BBCC. Times Square 2 is on the Jalan Imbi side, bridged to Berjaya Times Square and Imbi monorail station, with Hang Tuah LRT and monorail about 350 m and Bukit Bintang MRT and monorail about 750 m away. SWNK HOUZE is inside BBCC and is billed as the closest residential tower to the BBCC transit hub, where Hang Tuah monorail and LRT meet Merdeka MRT: Hang Tuah LRT is about 40 m away. From Times Square 2, Lot 10 is about 1 km and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur about 1.1 km; from SWNK, Merdeka Boulevard At 118 is about 710 m.

Layouts compared size for size

Neither review lists a price for each layout; ask for the current price lists. Entry prices: Times Square 2 from RM 688,000, SWNK HOUZE from RM 705,000.

At about 670 sq ft, Times Square 2 gives you two bedrooms and two bathrooms where SWNK gives you a 1 + 1 with one bathroom.

Price per square foot and monthly cost

SWNK HOUZE starts from about RM 1,300 per square foot and Times Square 2 from about RM 1,410, so SWNK is the cheaper of the two at the entry level. Its fee is lower too: RM 0.60 psf, against RM 0.66 psf plus a 10% sinking fund at Times Square 2 (ask whether SWNK's RM 0.60 includes the sinking fund). For comparable units (maintenance fee only):

Quit rent and assessment tax come on top at both, and at Times Square 2 so does parking rental.

What nearby homes sell and rent for

Both reviews use the same references. Lucentia Residences, the completed tower inside BBCC (about 330 m from Times Square 2 and about 200 m from SWNK), recorded 6 sales of 560 to 872 sq ft at RM 1.00 to 1.45 million, about RM 1,600 to 1,790 psf, in 2024 to 2026. Dorsett Residences Bukit Bintang on Jalan Imbi (about 960 m from Times Square 2 and about 1.3 km from SWNK) recorded 19 sales of 657 to 829 sq ft at about RM 1,630 to 1,830 psf, and, in the Times Square 2 review, 43 sales of 893 to 1,098 sq ft at about RM 1,560 to 1,680 psf. Both new launches start below these recorded prices per square foot, and some of those recent sales are the developer's own first sales being registered. Lucentia's six sales are a thin record.

Asking rents at the same two references:

The 1,013 to 1,099 sq ft Dorsett Residences row is from the Times Square 2 review. Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.

My view: who should pick which

These two are neighbours selling the same thing, direct rail and mall access in Bukit Bintang, so the choice comes down to size, price and timing. Times Square 2 is the one for more space: it has a standard 3-bedroom at 1,038 sq ft and a 1,356 sq ft 3-bedroom with a study, a 678 sq ft two-bedroom with two bathrooms, and the bridge to Berjaya Times Square. The trade-offs are that half the building is 488 sq ft one-bedrooms, 20 units share most floors with 5 residential lifts, no car park comes with the unit, and completion is October 2027. SWNK HOUZE is the one for a smaller building and a lower price per square foot: 441 units, 16 on a typical floor, the LRT about 40 m away and completion expected in 2026. The trade-offs are that the facilities are on one podium deck, car parks per unit follow the sales chart, and the only three-bedrooms are two dual-key types on Level 3.

Pick Times Square 2 if…

• you need a standard three-bedroom, or the largest layout, 1,356 sq ft with a study;
• you want two bedrooms and two bathrooms in under 700 sq ft (Type B, 678 sq ft);
• you want link bridges to Berjaya Times Square and Imbi monorail;
• you want the lower entry price, from RM 688,000, and can wait until October 2027.

Pick SWNK HOUZE if…

• you want the lower price per square foot, from about RM 1,300;
• you want a smaller tower, 441 units with 16 on a typical floor;
• you want Hang Tuah LRT about 40 m away and bridges to the BBCC transit hub;
• you want a studio from 463 sq ft, or completion sooner, expected in 2026.
