Question 1

Is Skylon Residence freehold or leasehold?

Accepted Answer

Skylon Residence is freehold - a scarcity profile that most city-centre towers, which are largely leasehold, cannot match.

Question 2

What is the nearest rail station to Skylon Residence and how far is it?

Accepted Answer

Monorail Raja Chulan (MR7) is 519m straight-line, with MRT/LRT Bukit Bintang (KG18A) 572m and Plaza Rakyat (AG8/SP8) 684m straight-line. Several lines are within a genuine walk, making this a walk-everywhere Golden Triangle address.

Question 3

How much do units at Skylon Residence cost and what sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Prices run from about RM1,082,000 to RM2,155,000. Units span 518 to 1,250 sqft across 1 to 2 bedrooms - there are no family-sized layouts, so the smallest units are compact at 518 sqft.

Question 4

How much is the monthly instalment for Skylon Residence?

Accepted Answer

The estimated repayment starts from about RM4,489 a month, based on a 90% loan over 35 years at ~4.3%; your actual figure depends on your loan profile. Maintenance is stated at RM0.55 psf including the 10% sinking fund, so you can budget the full holding cost upfront.

Question 5

Who is the developer of Skylon Residence and are they reliable?

Accepted Answer

It is developed by GBD Land, the property arm of Bursa Malaysia-listed Goh Ban Huat Berhad (GBH), one of Malaysia's oldest active companies. The long-established listed parent gives corporate stability, but GBD Land's own residential track record is still thin and Skylon is very much its showcase project - so track construction progress closely, verify the HDA arrangements, and inspect the finished quality on completion.

Question 6

Is Skylon Residence completed or still under construction?

Accepted Answer

It is under construction, with completion listed for 2025. That makes it an off-plan purchase, so confirm the actual VP status and inspect progress on site before you sign anything.

Question 7

Is Skylon Residence a good buy and who is it best suited to?

Accepted Answer

Its genuine appeal is a freehold, low-density (178-unit) tower with real walkability in the Golden Triangle - attractive for an own-stayer or a landlord targeting city-centre professionals. Be realistic on two points: from RM1.082M it sits above the RM928,600 median across the 8 City Centre projects on this site, and central-KL serviced-residence rental supply is heavy, so model conservative occupancy rather than brochure yields.

Question 8

Who will Skylon Residence units appeal to at resale?

Accepted Answer

With only 1- and 2-bedroom layouts, your resale and tenant pool is singles, couples and investors, which concentrates your exit risk in one buyer type. That is worth weighing if you may need to sell in a soft market.
