Amara Residences Ara Damansara Review 2026 | Freehold Low-Density Residence Next to Citta Mall – Worth Buying?
“If ARRA Residences is designed for buyers who prioritise direct LRT access and a larger integrated development, then Amara Residences takes a different approach.”
Amara focuses on:
✅ Lower density living
✅ Freehold ownership
✅ Directly beside Citta Mall
✅ Bigger family-sized layouts
✅ Premium Ara Damansara address
✅ Rooftop lifestyle facilities
With only 412 units on a 2.36-acre freehold site, Amara is one of the lower-density new launches in Ara Damansara today.
Executive Summary
For buyers looking for a home rather than a speculative investment, Amara Residences may actually be more attractive than many larger developments nearby.
Key reasons:
🏆 Freehold
🏆 Only 412 Units
🏆 Directly Beside Citta Mall
🏆 Walking Distance To LRT Ara Damansara
🏆 Big Grocer Planned Within Development
🏆 Family-Oriented Layouts
🏆 2 Car Parks Per Unit
🏆 GreenRE Gold Certified Development
🏆 Rooftop Infinity Pool & Sky Facilities
Unlike many newer projects that exceed 1,000 units, Amara offers a more exclusive residential environment.
Project Overview
📍 Ara Damansara
🏢 Freehold
🏢 1 Residential Tower
🏢 412 Units
🏢 Commercial Component
🏢 Big Grocer Planned
🏢 630 sqft – 1,230 sqft
🏢 Completion Q4 2028
🏢 Starting From RM574,200
Why Amara Residences Stands Out
Most buyers immediately focus on:
“How close is it to the LRT?”
But Amara’s strongest advantage may actually be:
Location + Convenience
Residents can enjoy:
🛍 Citta Mall next door
🛒 Future Big Grocer within the development
🚆 LRT Ara Damansara (approximately 600m)
🏢 UOA Business Park
🏢 Menara Sime Darby
🛍 Paradigm Mall
✈️ Subang Airport
⛳ Saujana Golf Club
🚗 LDP
🚗 NKVE
🚗 ELITE
🚗 DASH Highway
Everything is already established. Buyers are not betting on future infrastructure—they are buying into a mature township.
The Biggest Advantage: Low Density
One major concern among today’s buyers is overcrowding.
Many new launches now exceed:
❌ 1,000 units
❌ 1,500 units
❌ 2,000 units
Amara contains only:
✅ 412 units
✅ 22 units per floor
✅ Single Tower Development
This creates:
✔ Better privacy
✔ Less competition for facilities
✔ Potentially easier future rental management
✔ More premium residential feel
✔ Less pressure on visitor parking and common areas
For own-stay buyers, this is arguably Amara’s strongest selling point.

Family-Friendly Design
A feature often overlooked:
Every Unit Comes With 2 Car Parks
This is increasingly rare among transit-oriented developments.
Many TOD projects now provide:
❌ 1 car park
❌ Optional additional purchase
Amara provides:
✅ 2 car parks as standard
✅ Some units with 3 car parks
This makes the project far more practical for owner-occupiers.

Investment & Rental Analysis
The rental market around Ara Damansara remains healthy due to:
✔ Sime Darby Auto City
✔ UOA Business Park
✔ Subang Airport
✔ Corporate Offices
✔ Medical Centres
✔ Excellent public transport
Compared to many newer townships, Ara Damansara already has an established tenant pool.
However, Amara is likely to appeal more to:
🏠 Long-term owner occupiers
🏠 Families
🏠 Upgraders
rather than pure yield-focused investors.
