Phoeniz Suites KLCC – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is the developer of Phoeniz Suites KLCC?

Phoeniz Suites @ KL City Centre is developed by Exsim YKS 54 Sdn Bhd, a member of EXSIM Group.

EXSIM is an established Malaysian property developer known particularly for high-rise residential and serviced-residence projects in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. Phoeniz continues EXSIM's city-centre serviced-suite concept, with a stronger focus on compact investment units, dual-key layouts and professionally managed hospitality.

For buyers comparing KLCC projects, I would look beyond the developer name alone and compare the actual entry price, layout efficiency, density, management structure and realistic rental cash flow.

2. Where exactly is Phoeniz Suites KLCC located?

Phoeniz Suites is located in the KL City Centre / Jalan Yap Kwan Seng area, on the northeastern side of KLCC.

Published project information places Intermark Mall at approximately 600m, Ampang Park MRT at around 900m, Ampang Park LRT at around 950m and Suria KLCC at approximately 1.1km. Actual walking distance and time will depend on the pedestrian route used.

This location is one of Phoeniz's main attractions because it provides access to the KLCC employment, shopping, hospitality and tourism catchment without requiring buyers to enter at some of the considerably higher prices found immediately beside the Petronas Twin Towers.

3. Is Phoeniz Suites freehold?

Yes. Phoeniz Suites is marketed as a freehold serviced-suite development on commercial land under HDA.

The project comprises a single 53-storey development with approximately 394 serviced suites on about 0.56 acre of land.

For long-term investors and overseas buyers, the freehold tenure can be an attractive feature, although tenure alone should not determine whether a project is a good investment. Entry price, demand, management cost and eventual resale liquidity are equally important.

4. What is the starting price of Phoeniz Suites KLCC?

Based on the currently published pricing I have reviewed, the indicative gross price starts from approximately RM1,016,400 for the smallest Type A unit.

Published indicative pricing is approximately:

Type A – 484 sq ft: from RM1,016,400
Type B1 – 657 sq ft Dual-Key: from RM1,314,000
Type B2 – 678 sq ft Dual-Key: from RM1,375,600.

However, the actual amount a buyer pays can vary according to floor, stack, view, current availability and the latest sales package.

I therefore recommend checking the current available-unit chart and latest pricing rather than relying solely on an advertised starting price.

5. What unit sizes and layouts are available at Phoeniz Suites?

Phoeniz Suites has three main unit sizes:

Type A – 484 sq ft
Type B1 – 657 sq ft
Type B2 – 678 sq ft

Type B1 and Type B2 are positioned as the project's main dual-key layouts, while Type A is the lower-entry compact configuration.

One point buyers should be aware of is that different public Phoeniz marketing pages currently describe the Type A room configuration differently — for example as “1 bedroom + study”, “2 rooms” or “2 bedrooms”. I therefore recommend looking at the actual latest floor plan rather than relying only on the bedroom label.

The physical layout is much more important than whether a marketing website calls the smaller room a bedroom, study or flexi room.

6. Which Phoeniz Suites layouts are dual-key?

The 657 sq ft Type B1 and 678 sq ft Type B2 are the main dual-key options promoted for Phoeniz Suites.

A dual-key configuration provides greater flexibility because different parts of the property can potentially serve separate occupants while remaining under one property title. This can suit investors who want to explore different rental strategies, or owners who want some separation between their own space and another occupant.

However, I would not automatically assume that a dual-key unit is the better investment.

The key question is whether the additional purchase price of B1 or B2 produces enough additional net rental income after management charges, maintenance, utilities, financing and realistic occupancy.

That is why I prefer comparing Type A vs B1 vs B2 based on cash flow, rather than simply recommending the largest unit.

7. What is the difference between Type B1 and Type B2?

Type B1 measures approximately 657 sq ft, while Type B2 is approximately 678 sq ft, giving B2 only around 21 sq ft of additional built-up area.

Based on the currently published indicative gross prices, B1 starts around RM1.314 million while B2 starts around RM1.376 million — approximately RM61,600 more before taking account of floor, stack and package differences.

Therefore, I would not choose B2 simply because it is larger.

The more important questions are:

Does the B2 stack provide a better view?
Is the internal configuration better?
Can it realistically achieve higher room rates?
Will the rental premium justify the additional purchase price?

For some buyers, B1 may offer the better balance between dual-key functionality and capital commitment. For others, a premium B2 stack with a stronger KLCC-facing view may justify paying more.

8. How many units are there at Phoeniz Suites, and is it low density?

Phoeniz Suites has 394 serviced suites in a single 53-storey development.

Published floor information indicates approximately 6 units per floor on some lower residential levels and around 10 units per floor on many of the higher residential levels, although certain technical floors differ. The development is also reported to have 6 passenger lifts plus 1 service lift.

Rather than simply describing Phoeniz as “low density”, I think these actual numbers are more useful.

For an investment-oriented KLCC project, 394 units is relatively manageable compared with some much larger city-centre developments, but buyers should also consider the potential volume of short-stay guests if a substantial portion of owners use hospitality management.

9. How far is Phoeniz Suites from KLCC and public transport?

Published project information places Suria KLCC at approximately 1.1km, with Ampang Park MRT at around 900m and Ampang Park LRT at around 950m.

I would therefore describe Phoeniz as near KLCC and within walking distance of Ampang Park MRT/LRT, rather than claiming an absolute five-minute walk.

Walking time differs depending on the route, weather, pedestrian crossings and the exact entrance used.

For an investment buyer, however, being within the broader KLCC and Ampang Park catchment is important because potential tenants and short-stay guests can access major offices, shopping malls and attractions without depending entirely on a car.

10. Does Phoeniz Suites have car parking?

Published project information currently indicates approximately 169 car-parking lots plus 3 OKU lots, and the development is promoted with a smart mechanical-parking system.

This means buyers should not assume every unit automatically comes with a conventional individual parking bay.

For an investment-focused KLCC property, this may be less important to some overseas or short-stay buyers because of the central location and public transport access. However, it could matter more to buyers intending to stay in the unit themselves.

I recommend confirming the specific parking entitlement and parking arrangement for the unit being purchased before booking.

11. What is the maintenance fee for Phoeniz Suites?

Current published project information quotes a maintenance charge of approximately RM1.21 per sq ft including sinking fund.

12. When will Phoeniz Suites KLCC be completed?

Current published project information generally states the completion timeline as approximately 60 months after the APDL is obtained, rather than giving a simple fixed vacant-possession date.

13. Is Airbnb or short-term rental allowed at Phoeniz Suites?

Phoeniz Suites is clearly being marketed with a hospitality and professionally managed short-stay investment concept through Mana Mana Hospitality.

14. What does Mana Mana Hospitality do for Phoeniz investors?

Mana Mana Hospitality is promoted as the hospitality-management option for Phoeniz Suites, aimed particularly at buyers who prefer a more hands-off investment arrangement.

15. Can foreigners buy Phoeniz Suites KLCC?

Phoeniz Suites is being marketed as a development that is available to foreign purchasers, and its advertised entry price is above RM1 million.

16. Is Phoeniz Suites suitable for MM2H buyers?

Potentially, yes — particularly for an MM2H buyer looking for a compact KL city-centre property rather than a large retirement home.

Under the current federal MM2H programme, the required minimum residential-property value is RM600,000 for Silver, RM1 million for Gold and RM2 million for Platinum. The Gold category specifically requires participants to purchase a residence valued at RM1 million or above after MM2H approval.

Because Phoeniz currently has an advertised gross entry price above RM1 million, it sits above the Gold-category minimum on price alone.

17. Is Phoeniz Suites better for own stay or investment?

In my view, Phoeniz is primarily more compelling as an investment-oriented city-centre property.

Its compact 484–678 sq ft layouts, dual-key options, proximity to KLCC and professionally managed hospitality concept naturally favour rental and overseas-investor use.

For own stay, Type A could work for an individual or couple, while the larger layouts offer additional flexibility. However, buyers looking for a spacious long-term family residence may find better alternatives elsewhere in KLCC or the wider Klang Valley.

This is why I would first establish whether your priority is investment, MM2H, holiday use, retirement or full-time own stay before deciding whether Phoeniz is the right match.

18. Which Phoeniz unit would I choose: Type A, B1 or B2?

There is no single answer because each layout solves a different investment objective.

Type A would be my starting point for a buyer who wants the lowest capital commitment and a simpler single-unit rental strategy.

Type B1 interests me for buyers specifically seeking dual-key flexibility without paying the highest entry price.

Type B2 becomes more attractive if the particular stack, view and layout can command a meaningful rental premium over B1.

I would therefore not select a unit based only on size.

Before choosing, I would compare the actual available unit, purchase price, floor, direction, view, management arrangement and estimated net cash flow for all three options.

19. Phoeniz vs CentriX vs CloutHaus – which KLCC project is better?

They target different buyers.

Phoeniz Suites is particularly interesting for buyers who prioritise compact investment units, dual-key flexibility and professionally managed hospitality.

CentriX The Station deserves consideration if direct transit connectivity and TOD positioning are the bigger priority.

CloutHaus KLCC is positioned more toward the premium luxury end of the market and may suit buyers willing to invest at a different price level.

There is therefore no universal “best KLCC project”.

The better question is: which project best matches your budget, investment strategy, intended holding period and own-stay requirements?

This is one of the reasons I normally prefer doing a short 1-to-1 comparison before recommending a particular project.

20. What should I check before booking Phoeniz Suites KLCC?

Before booking, I would personally check the latest available units, current price and package, exact floor plan, stack direction, view, parking entitlement, maintenance charges, furnishing package, Mana Mana management terms, completion terms and realistic rental assumptions.

For dual-key buyers, I would also compare B1 and B2 against Type A on a net-cash-flow basis rather than assuming that two rental keys automatically mean a better return.

Phoeniz has several attractive investment characteristics, but the right unit at the right price matters more than simply choosing the project name.

If you would like, I can help compare the currently available Phoeniz units together with nearby KLCC alternatives before you make a decision.
