MABA Suitez marks one of Kuala Lumpur’s most meaningful and transformative city-centre redevelopments — a visionary collaboration between EXSIM Development and the Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA). Beyond being a prime real estate investment opportunity, the project represents a new legacy for Malaysian basketball, turning a 50-year-old landmark into a sustainable financial engine for national sports development.
Strategically positioned along Jalan Hang Jebat, directly across the world-renowned Merdeka 118 precinct, MABA Suitez is set to redefine urban living with two iconic 60-storey serviced residence towers rising over Kuala Lumpur’s historic district.
Project Overview
- Developer: EXSIM Development (Joint Venture with Malaysia Basketball Association)
- Location: Former Wisma MABA site, Jalan Hang Jebat, Kuala Lumpur
- Land Size: 1.328 acres (0.53 hectares)
- Towers: 2 towers, 60 storeys each
- Total Units: Approx. 1,300 units
- Types:
- Serviced Apartments (484 – 657 sq ft)
- Office Suites (323 sq ft)
- Price Range: RM1,800 – RM2,200 psf (official pricing to be confirmed)
- Completion Target: 2031
- Unique Feature: New 3,000 sqft MABA HQ with a half 3×3 basketball court inside the tower
🏀 A Project with Purpose — Building Financial Independence for MABA
This redevelopment isn’t just another high-rise project — it is designed to secure long-term financial stability for MABA.
Key financial highlights:
- MABA receives RM170 million from the redevelopment
- RM120 million will be reinvested into purchasing serviced units within MABA Suitez
- Expected rental yield: 5%, generating approximately RM6 million annually
This means:
MABA will become self-sustaining, reducing reliance on donations and enabling more nationwide basketball programs.
The project truly blends real estate investment with a national sports mission — a rare and inspiring combination.

📍 Prime KL City-Centre Location
MABA Suitez is one of the most well-located upcoming launches in Kuala Lumpur:
🚆 Transit Within Walking Distance
- MRT Merdeka Station
- LRT Plaza Rakyat Station
🏙 Neighbouring Major Landmarks
- Opposite Merdeka 118 — Malaysia’s tallest tower
- Close to Chinatown, Hang Tuah area, Pudu, Bukit Bintang
- Surrounded by mature infrastructure, dining, retail, and commercial offices
This unbeatable connectivity positions MABA Suitez as a strong candidate for:
- Short-stay rentals (Airbnb / booking platforms)
- Expat & workforce rental demand
- Investors seeking high-traffic city-centre units
Why Redevelop Wisma MABA?
Wisma MABA, built in 1969, has been a historic symbol for Malaysian basketball — even hosting FIBA Asia’s headquarters. However, the ageing building now suffers from:
- Persistent roof leakages
- Outdated cooling systems
- Structural wear & deterioration
- Ageing stadium conditions
MABA President Datuk Seri Lee Tian Hock emphasised that the association must look forward and build a new legacy — not rely on past achievements.
⭐ What Makes MABA Suitez Stand Out
1️⃣ A Rare Location Facing Merdeka 118
One of the last few city-centre redevelopment plots within walking distance to two rail lines.
2️⃣ Two Striking 60-Storey Towers
Skyline-defining residences with EXSIM’s signature architecture.
3️⃣ Compact, High-Efficiency Layouts
Ideal for rental income and young urban buyers.
4️⃣ Strong Developer Reputation — EXSIM
Known for high-demand projects (The Fiddlewoodz, D’Amansi, Mossaz, Scarletz Suites).
5️⃣ Sports Heritage + Real Estate Investment
The only KL project with a built-in basketball court and a purpose-driven financial model.

Verdict — A Strong KLCC Fringe Investment with Meaning
MABA Suitez is more than a redevelopment — it is a city-centre reinvention backed by legacy, purpose, and prime location economics.
For investors, the combination of:
- High-demand KLCC fringe location
- Compact, rentable unit sizes
- Strong developer branding
- Proximity to MRT/LRT
- Merdeka 118 spillover effect
makes MABA Suitez a project worth watching closely.
As pricing finalises (RM1,800–RM2,200 psf), it may position itself as one of the most attractive central KL launches for upcoming launch.
