Based in Brunei or Miri?

If you visit Kota Kinabalu and are considering owning a property here, The Bedrock offers a combination worth comparing: a furnished suite, a city waterfront setting and a management option.

It may suit buyers who:

  • Want to explore a short-stay investment in KK.
  • Prefer local support for guest operations.
  • Want to understand whether occasional personal stays fit the package.
  • Prefer comparing units by Zoom before travelling.

Personal use depends on the selected management arrangement. Check the booking rules, permitted nights and any charges before treating the suite as a holiday home.

For buyers based in Brunei, share your nationality and purchase plan so we can first check the relevant buyer requirements with the project team and solicitor.


How Does Antel Management Help?

For owners taking an applicable Antel package, services can include:

  • Online booking-channel setup and listing support.
  • Guest communication and check-in coordination.
  • Cleaning and linen services.
  • Pricing and booking-calendar management.
  • Operating reports and maintenance support.

This can reduce the daily coordination required from an owner who lives outside KK.

Before signing, compare the service scope, charges, contract period and personal-use conditions. Rental receipts are not the same as money left after expenses.

🌿 Lifestyle & Facilities

Despite its compact footprint, The Bedrock offers a curated mix of facilities to enhance city living:

  • Rooftop Infinity Pool with sea and city skyline views
  • Sky Gym & Yoga Deck
  • Residents’ Lounge & Co-working Pods
  • Café Corner & Lobby Lounge
  • 24-hour Security & Smart Access System
  • Covered Parking

Whether for relaxation or business networking, these spaces make The Bedrock a self-contained urban retreat.


💡 Why The Bedrock Stands Out

1️⃣ Strategic Waterfront Location

Located just minutes from Kota Kinabalu’s main attractions, malls, and airport, it captures strong local and tourism-driven rental demand.

2️⃣ Compact Sizes = Higher Affordability

Starting from 351 sqft, it offers a lower entry point for investors looking for manageable property ownership and flexible usage (own stay or Airbnb).

3️⃣ Tourism & Short-Stay Potential

Sabah remains one of Malaysia’s top tourist destinations. A well-located, stylish suite like The Bedrock offers high occupancy potential for domestic and international travelers.

4️⃣ Modern Lifestyle Appeal

Contemporary design, co-working lounges, and rooftop amenities cater perfectly to young professionals and digital nomads.

5️⃣ Strong Long-Term Value

As city land in Kota Kinabalu becomes more limited, centrally located leasehold projects like The Bedrock are expected to maintain solid resale and rental value over time.


📈 Investment Highlights

Metric Estimate / Comment
Price Range RM532,400 – RM994,100
Rental Yield ~5% – 6% p.a. (projected for well-managed units)
Tenant Pool Expats, professionals, business travelers, tourists
Capital Growth Moderate to high (tourism + limited new land supply)
Exit Strategy Short-term rental, long-term corporate lease, or resale to owner-occupiers

💡 Tip: High-floor units with sea or city views typically enjoy stronger rental demand and resale appeal.


🧭 Summary

The Bedrock Kota Kinabalu represents a new generation of urban living in Sabah — compact, connected, and contemporary.

With sizes from 351 – 700 sqft and prices starting at RM532,400, it’s designed for those who want to own a stylish city suite near the waterfront, or invest in a strong tourism-backed rental property.

It’s a perfect fit for modern investors who value flexibility, location, and lifestyle.
