Question 1

Is Orion Residence freehold or leasehold?

Accepted Answer

Orion Residence is freehold, in the heart of the Bukit Bintang core. The listing does not state a tenure expiry because freehold has none.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

This is a highly walkable, rail-rich position: Monorail Bukit Bintang (MR6) is 279m straight-line and MRT/LRT Bukit Bintang (KG18A) about 335m, with The Starhill just 80m. It is about as central as KL living gets.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Prices run from RM1,584,500 all the way to RM4,124,000. Units are 491 to 1,329 sqft across 1 to 3 bedrooms, in a boutique single-tower scheme of about 298 units.

Question 4

What is the estimated monthly instalment for Orion Residence?

Accepted Answer

The estimated instalment starts at about RM6,573 per month, based on a 90% loan over 35 years at roughly 4.3%. Your actual figure depends on your loan profile, and the steep RM1.20 psf maintenance sits on top - compute the total for your exact unit size.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

The developer is the Welton Group, a Johor-rooted developer whose development entity was incorporated in 2013, with Orion as its Kuala Lumpur showcase rather than one of a long line of city towers. Brand reassurance is thinner here than with a large listed group, so since the project is completed, inspect the finished units, common areas and - given the high maintenance - how the management body is run and funded before you commit.

Question 6

Is Orion Residence completed or still under construction?

Accepted Answer

Orion Residence is completed, handed over in 2025 and sold under HDA. Keys are in hand, so you can inspect the actual 46-storey product and its real views before paying, with no VP wait.

Question 7

What is the maintenance fee at Orion Residence?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is high at RM1.20 per sqft, including the 10% sinking fund - among the steepest in the area and a real, ongoing cost that eats into any yield. Run the exact figure for your unit size before you count on returns.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

Its genuine appeal is a freehold, walk-everything address in the Bukit Bintang core. The main caution is the carry and the market: pricing above the RM1,183,000 Bukit Bintang median, RM1.20 psf maintenance, and a crowded short-stay rental scene, plus the noise and congestion of living in the tourist core. It suits a lifestyle own-stayer or a premium-tenant landlord who models conservative occupancy - spend an evening on the street first.
