Transit-oriented Sunway Cochrane will provide a 60m covered link bridge to the Cochrane MRT station.
KUALA LUMPUR: Sunway Property has opened registration for Sunway Cochrane, a 5.4-acre freehold serviced apartment development designed as a transit-oriented development (TOD). It features a 60m covered link bridge to the Cochrane MRT station and over 40 lifestyle facilities, catering to urban professionals, young families and expatriates.
“With Sunway Cochrane, we are setting a new benchmark for TODs in Kuala Lumpur by placing direct MRT access, GreenRE compliance and future-ready features such as EV charging at the heart of the design. Guided by our proprietary Sunway Design and Development Architecture framework - anchored on sustainability, innovation, health and wellness, and lifestyle and new experiences – every detail of this development has been crafted with care to deliver long-term value for both homeowners and investors,” said Sunway Property chief executive officer Chong Sau Min.
Sunway Cochrane offers two- to three-bedroom layouts ranging from 650 sq ft to 1,001 sq ft. All units are smart-home ready and customisable to promote modern city living. The development adheres to GreenRE standards, supporting sustainable living and community wellbeing, with amenities including a 50m infinity pool and rooftop sky decks.
According to research published by Sciendo, property prices in Kuala Lumpur exhibit a clear positive correlation with proximity to rail transit, with values increasing by approximately 5.6% for every 100m closer to a station. This reinforces the growing demand for TODs, which are fast becoming a cornerstone of Kuala Lumpur’s real estate market. Sunway Cochrane aims to capitalise on this trend while providing strong rental potential.
Down south in Johor, Sunway Majestic marks Sunway Property’s first development in Johor Bahru City Centre (JBCC) and the city centre’s first Small-office-Home-office (SoHo) apartments. With freehold tenure, a location just 3km from the upcoming RTS Link and next to Sunway Commercial Square, the project is strategically positioned for both own-stay buyers seeking city-centre convenience and investors looking to capture cross-border rental demand.
One to three-bedroom SoHo units start at RM400,000, with the option to personalise under Sunway Property’s unique design to own concept. The development features multi-tiered security systems to provide peace of mind for residents, alongside a suite of lifestyle facilities. Connectivity is enhanced through a dedicated shuttle service to the RTS, a walkway link to Hutan Bandar and convenient access to surrounding malls, schools and healthcare amenities.
Being adjacent to Sunway Commercial Square, a retail hub for shopping and dining to be managed by Sunway Malls, also gives residents direct access to curated lifestyle options unique to the city centre.
“Homebuyers here are discerning and think long term. Johor Bahru’s appeal is real but expectations are higher. Communities must be safe, connected and adaptable to cross-border lifestyles. That is the standard we are building towards. Our role as Malaysia’s master community developer is to meet this evolving landscape with a long-term view, co-investing in the places we build and staying true to our promise of being with you for generations,” said Sunway Property southern region chief executive officer Gerard Soosay.
