KUALA LUMPUR: Ahead of its official launch on Nov 10, 2026, UEM Sunrise Bhd’s MAIA Mont’Kiara has already commanded a 60% take-up rate since its soft launch in late August. The encouraging early response reflects sustained demand for well-positioned residential developments in established locations, reinforcing the company’s market-led approach to property development. 

The RM1.17bil luxury residential development attracted interest from a diverse mix of buyers, including existing UEM Sunrise customers under its Trésor loyalty programme, home upgraders, empty nesters, expatriates and seasoned investors. The response highlights MAIA’s appeal across different buyer segments, supported by its spacious layouts, emphasis on privacy, adaptable living spaces and Mont’Kiara’s sought-after address. 

MAIA builds on UEM Sunrise’s longstanding presence in Mont’Kiara where the company has played a role in shaping the residential landscape for more than three decades. The development reflects its continued confidence in the enclave and its understanding of the evolving needs and preferences of home buyers. 

UEM Sunrise managing director and chief executive officer Shaharul Farez Hassan said: “Property development remains at the heart of UEM Sunrise, supported by decades of experience, proven development capabilities and a deep understanding of the markets we serve. MAIA is our flagship development that reflects the qualities we want to bring to more of our future residential projects, such as generous living space, nature-inspired environments and community-focused designs that cater to different generations and evolving lifestyles. These are principles we intend to carry forward as we continue to build on our presence in  Mont’Kiara and shape the next generation of UEM Sunrise residential developments.” 

“Mont’Kiara continues to be an attractive residential address, supported by its vibrant community, connectivity and lifestyle amenities. The encouraging response to MAIA reinforces our belief that when we understand what homebuyers value and translate those insights into thoughtfully designed developments, the market responds,” he said. 

Situated on approximately 5.016 acres of freehold land along Jalan Bayu Kiara, MAIA is a distinct hilltop residence nestled within a secluded and peaceful enclave of Mont’Kiara,  adjacent to another UEM Sunrise luxury freehold development, The MINH.  

MAIA comprises 495 bungalow-inspired units across two 45-storey towers, with prices starting from RM1.54mil. The development offers seven layouts ranging from 1,485 sq ft to 2,982  sq ft, designed to accommodate different lifestyles and household needs. 

Created with an emphasis on space, privacy and flexibility, MAIA features six residences per floor, expansive balconies and extra-large parking bays while selected layouts offer private lift lobbies and dual master suites. Adaptable lanai spaces also provide homebuyers with the flexibility to extend their living areas or create additional rooms as their needs evolve.  

UEM Sunrise chief marketing officer Emily Teh said: “Homebuyers today are becoming more discerning in how they choose their homes, looking beyond location and built-up area.  They are placing greater emphasis on how a home complements their lifestyles and adapts to their evolving needs over time.” 

“With MAIA, we have sought to introduce a resort-inspired residential experience that brings these considerations together through flexible living spaces, thoughtfully planned facilities and an environment that encourages a sense of community. The encouraging early response gives us confidence that this approach resonates with homebuyers in Mont’Kiara,” she said. 

Approximately 42% of the development site is dedicated to landscaped areas and lifestyle facilities, complementing its elevated setting and nature-inspired surroundings. The development has also received GreenRE Provisional Gold certification, with sustainability features including rainwater harvesting systems and electric-vehicle charging facilities. 

Completion is expected in the first half of 2031. For more information on MAIA Mont’Kiara, visit www.uemsunrise.com.
