Ascott Star Residence: what to weigh before you decide
Is the price fair?
The developer's list price starts at RM 1,655,704 and goes up to RM 4,902,700, or between about RM 2,274 and 2,583 a sq ft. Sales across all three Star Residences towers, 2024 to 2026:
| Project | Size | Sale price | Per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Star Residences, all towers | 624 to 678 sq ft | RM 1,000,000 to 1,460,000 | About RM 1,470 to 2,160 |
| Star Residences, all towers | 797 to 926 sq ft | RM 1,550,000 to 1,900,000 | About RM 1,810 to 2,380 |
| The Mews (about 230 m) | 926 sq ft | RM 1,000,000 to 1,210,000 | About RM 1,080 to 1,300 |
Take the 11 sales of one-bedroom size: the middle one is about RM 1,620 a sq ft. Even the lowest list figure is about RM 654 above that (RM 2,274 less RM 1,620). The recorded sizes leave out the ledge for the air-conditioner, which makes them about 22 to 44 sq ft smaller than the layout sizes, and the records do not name the tower each unit is in, so this is not like-for-like. With a gap this wide, though, get the actual price of the unit you want first and set it against these sales.
What it costs each month
Maintenance is about RM 0.65 a sq ft, sinking fund included. At size × RM 0.65:
- 1-bedroom of 679 sq ft: about RM 441 a month
- 3-bedroom of 1,400 sq ft: about RM 910 a month
- 4 + 1 bedrooms in 2,972 sq ft: about RM 1,932 a month
Quit rent and assessment tax are billed separately. So are Ascott's concierge, room service and laundry, which you pay for only when you use them.
Can foreigners buy?
In Kuala Lumpur the minimum purchase price for foreign buyers is RM 1,000,000, and consent from the land authority is needed. Ascott Star Residence lists from RM 1,655,704 up to RM 4,902,700, all above that threshold. Foreign buyers should still check with the developer which units are open.
Prices here start at RM 1,655,704, so every unit is above RM 1,000,000.

Four things to check at the viewing
- The actual price of the unit you want, worked out per sq ft and set against the sales above.
- On Levels 35 to 43, some units are sold as Ascott-managed units with a separate furnishing agreement. Get the full terms in writing.
- Viewings are of the actual unit and need one day's appointment. Check that unit's view and floor while there.
- The price list for Ascott's services, and how many units share your floor (typical floors have 10; Levels 55 to 56 have 5).

Ascott Star Residence: the monthly bill, line by line
The starting-price unit at Ascott Star Residence is RM 1,655,704. Borrow 90% of it, RM 1,490,134, over 35 years at 4% (an example rate) and the instalment comes to about RM 6,598 a month. The smallest unit here, 679 sq ft, adds about RM 441 in maintenance, sinking fund included, so plan on about RM 7,039 a month before assessment tax and quit rent.
Tell me the unit you have in mind on WhatsApp, +60 17-279 8932, and I will work out its own figures.
4% is an example rate, not a bank's quote, and the price you sign depends on the unit and the floor. For another loan amount, scale it with the table further down.
The example, line by line
| Item | Per month | How it is worked out |
|---|---|---|
| Loan instalment | RM 6,598 | 90% of RM 1,655,704, 35 years, 4% a year |
| Maintenance fee | RM 441 | 679 sq ft × RM 0.65 |
| Sinking fund | Included in the fee | 10% of the maintenance charge, the legal minimum |
| Assessment tax | Billed twice a year | DBKL: annual value × rate |
| Quit rent | Billed once a year | Due 1 January |
| Each month, before the two taxes | RM 7,039 | Instalment plus maintenance |
How the instalment is worked out
Instalment = loan × r × (1 + r)n ÷ [(1 + r)n − 1], where r is the yearly rate divided by 12 and n is the number of months: 420 for 35 years.
New floating-rate home loans are priced as the Standardised Base Rate (SBR) plus the bank's own spread, and the SBR follows Bank Negara's Overnight Policy Rate, 2.75% since 9 July 2025. So 4% is an example, not a quote. On the RM 1,490,134 loan above, 4.5% instead of 4% adds about RM 454 a month, and 30 years instead of 35 adds about RM 516. A third or later home loan in your own name is capped at 70% of the property's value.
| Every RM 100,000 borrowed | 4.0% | 4.5% | 5.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35 years | RM 443 | RM 473 | RM 505 |
| 30 years | RM 477 | RM 507 | RM 537 |
To use it, multiply by your loan in hundreds of thousands: RM 450,000 at 4% over 35 years is 4.5 × RM 443, about RM 1,994 a month.
Maintenance fee and sinking fund
Maintenance at Ascott Star Residence runs RM 0.65 a square foot each month, sinking fund included. The Strata Management Act 2013 sets the sinking fund at no less than 10% of the maintenance charge, kept for repainting, lift replacement and other big repairs.
That is above the RM 0.40 median of the 108 high-rise projects on this site: on the 679 sq ft unit, about RM 170 a month more than a building charging the median. The fee is the cost that stays for as long as you own the unit, so it is the line worth comparing between projects.
Assessment tax and quit rent
Assessment tax goes to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL): the unit's annual value times the rate. The annual value is DBKL's estimate of the gross rent the unit could earn in a year. Residential buildings pay 4%; serviced apartments pay 7% inside the city's original 36 square miles and 5% outside them. On an annual value of RM 13,200, that is RM 528 a year at 4%, or RM 924 at 7%, paid in two halves.
Quit rent goes to the Federal Territory land office. It falls due on 1 January and counts as in arrears if it is still unpaid on 1 June.
