SO Sofitel Unit Types and Sizes

One of the interesting aspects of SO Sofitel Residences is the wide range of unit sizes.

Studio – approximately 566 sq ft

The approximately 566 sq ft studio provides an entry-level option for buyers who want a branded residence in KLCC without purchasing a larger apartment.

Current listings show 566 sq ft units being offered for sale around RM1.2 million,

1-Bedroom – approximately 578–815 sq ft

The one-bedroom configurations provide more living space than the studio layouts.

Current listings include approximately:

• 578 sq ft
• 711–712 sq ft
• 815 sq ft

These layouts can appeal to singles, couples, executives and investors targeting the KLCC rental market.

1+1 Bedroom

The 1+1 layouts provide additional flexibility and are available in sizes around 711–815 sq ft, depending on the configuration.

They can be useful for residents who want an additional study or flexible room.

2-Bedroom – approximately 894–995 sq ft

The 2-bedroom units are among the more commonly advertised configurations.

Current listings show sizes including:

• 894 sq ft
• 903 sq ft

These layouts are suitable for small families, couples who need an additional room, or investors targeting the executive rental market.

Current listings include approximately 1,699 sq ft 3+2-bedroom units, while larger 4-bedroom and penthouse configurations extend into several thousand square feet.

The project information indicates that the overall residential size range reaches approximately 5,059 sq ft.

SO Sofitel KLCC Sale Prices

Because the development is relatively new, there are currently many units being marketed on the resale/secondary market.

As of 2026, current asking prices show a broad range depending on unit type and size.

Approximate current asking-price ranges

Unit type	Typical size examples	Recent asking-price indication
Studio	~566 sq ft	RM1.20M–RM1.45M+
1 Bedroom	~578–815 sq ft	RM1.21M–RM1.67M+
2 Bedroom	~894–995 sq ft	RM1.70M–RM2.30M+
3 Bedroom / larger	~1,699 sq ft+	RM4.5M+
Large luxury units	4,000 sq ft+	RM16M+

Current market listings show examples including RM1.21 million for 578 sq ft, RM1.59 million for 775 sq ft, RM1.67 million for 815 sq ft, and approximately RM1.70–RM2.30 million for various 2-bedroom units.

For larger residences, current asking prices rise substantially, with listings reaching several million ringgit and some very large units advertised above RM16 million.

September 2026 market data indicates average asking prices of approximately:

• Studio: RM1.27 million
• 1-bedroom: RM1.46 million
• 2-bedroom: RM2.19 million
• 3-bedroom: RM6.05 million
• 4-bedroom: RM16.32 million

These figures represent current asking-market data, rather than completed transaction prices.

SO Sofitel KLCC Rental Prices

Rental prices are also positioned at the premium end of the KLCC market.

Current listings show substantial variation depending on unit size, furnishing, floor level and view.

Approximate current asking-rental range

Unit type	Recent asking rental indication
Studio / smaller units	Around RM5,000+ / month
1 Bedroom	Around RM6,000–RM8,000 / month
2 Bedroom	Around RM6,500–RM9,000 / month
3 Bedroom	Around RM15,000–RM20,000+ / month
Large luxury units	Significantly higher

Current iProperty market data shows average asking rents of approximately RM5,000/month for studio/room-type units, RM7,000 for 1-bedroom units, RM8,000 for 2-bedroom units and RM17,000 for 3-bedroom units.

Individual current listings provide examples such as approximately RM6,500/month for a 903 sq ft 2-bedroom unit and RM8,800/month for another 903 sq ft unit.

These figures should be treated as asking rents, since the final agreed rental may differ.

What Makes SO Sofitel Residences Different?

1. Branded luxury residence

Unlike a conventional condominium, SO Sofitel is positioned as a branded residence associated with the Accor/SO lifestyle brand. This gives the development a different positioning from standard KLCC condominiums.

2. Prime KLCC location

The Jalan Ampang location places residents close to KLCC Park, Suria KLCC, offices, hotels, restaurants and public transportation.

3. Freehold tenure

The development is freehold, which is an important characteristic for buyers comparing premium KLCC properties.

4. Wide choice of unit sizes

From approximately 566 sq ft studios to residences exceeding 5,000 sq ft, the development covers a much wider range of household requirements than many conventional serviced residences.

5. Hotel-style lifestyle

The combination of branded positioning, sky facilities, swimming pool, gym, wellness spaces and concierge-oriented environment gives the project a more hotel-inspired character.

Things to Consider Before Buying

The premium location and branded positioning come with a relatively high entry price.

.

It is worth looking at:

• Price per square foot
• Exact unit size
• Floor level
• KLCC or city view
• Facing direction
• Furnishing package
• Parking allocation
• Maintenance fees
• Rental demand
• Actual completed transaction prices
• Remaining developer inventory
• Management and service charges

For investors, rental yield should also be calculated using the actual purchase price and achievable rental, rather than advertised asking prices.

Is SO Sofitel KLCC Suitable for You?

SO Sofitel Residences may appeal particularly to buyers and tenants who value:

• A prestigious KLCC address
• Freehold ownership
• Branded luxury residential living
• Proximity to KLCC Park
• Walking access to shopping and dining
• Access to LRT/MRT connections
• Modern facilities
• Smaller studio and 1-bedroom investment units
• Larger luxury residences for family living

It is less suitable for someone whose main priority is simply finding the lowest-priced condominium in central Kuala Lumpur, because the project is positioned toward the premium branded-residence segment.

SO Sofitel KLCC Review: Final Thoughts

SO Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Residences offers a combination of branded luxury, freehold tenure, central KLCC location and extensive residential facilities.

The development’s biggest advantage is arguably its location. Residents are close to KLCC Park, Suria KLCC, major offices, restaurants and public transportation, while the development itself provides facilities designed around a luxury urban lifestyle.

The unit selection is also broad. The approximately 566 sq ft studio offers a smaller entry point, while 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units provide options for professionals, couples and investors. At the other end of the market, large residences and penthouses cater to buyers seeking substantially more space.

As of September 2026, current asking prices indicate approximately RM1.2 million–RM1.67 million for many studio and 1-bedroom units, around RM1.7 million–RM2.3 million for many 2-bedroom units, and considerably more for larger residences. Current asking rents are roughly RM5,000–RM8,000+ per month for smaller units and around RM6,500–RM9,000+ for many 2-bedroom units, while larger 3-bedroom residences can command around RM15,000–RM20,000+ per month.

These are advertised asking ranges as of September 2026, not guaranteed transaction or rental prices. The exact value of any unit will depend heavily on its size, floor, view, condition, furnishing and other individual characteristics.
