MAIA Mont’Kiara by UEM Sunrise Bhd: A new expression of elevated living in KL’s iconic cosmopolitan enclave

More than just a prestigious postcode, Mont’Kiara, Kuala Lumpur (KL) has been the address of choice for affluent buyers, including international property investors and expatriate communities, following years of deliberate, thoughtful placemaking.

Instrumental in this achievement is UEM Sunrise Bhd, a developer whose portfolio, which includes Allevia, Residensi Astrea, Residensi 22, Arcoris, and 28 Mont’Kiara, has shaped the very character of this enclave.

Today, the trusted placemaker is back with another defining address tailored for discerning families, multigenerational households, upgraders and international investors.

Perched on 5.016 acres of land right at the edge of Bukit Kiara, MAIA Mont’Kiara capitalises on a vanishing asset: an elevated, freehold hilltop site at the threshold of a dense forest. Architecturally engineered to offer a rare dual panorama, it frames the canopy of Bukit Kiara’s verdant expanse on one side, and the glittering KL city skyline on the other.

Comprising only 495 residences across two elegant 45-storey structures — Verde Tower and Terra Tower — this condominium development is deliberately planned with just six homes per floor, creating a quieter and more private living environment.

This hilltop setting, coupled with its low-density configuration, sets the tone for an exclusive “bungalow in the sky” living experience, perfectly aligned with the refined character of Mont’Kiara.

A diverse selection of layouts caters to a broad spectrum of needs. Ranging 1,485–2,982 sq ft, they can accommodate multigenerational living comfortably, or make room for personalised spaces for work or play. Certain configurations feature a dual master suites concept with two self-contained primary bedrooms to ensure privacy and independence for extended family members.

Selected layouts are also served by private lift lobbies, offering not just a sense of distinction, but added safety, efficiency and privacy. Complementing this are extra-large car parks for every residence and a speed-ramp parking that facilitates smoother arrival.

Launching in 3Q2026 at prices from RM1.535 million with expected completion in the first half of 2031, MAIA Mont’Kiara stands as a testament to uncompromising design, seamlessly blending Bukit Kiara’s rich tapestry of greenery and recreational opportunities with connectivity to the pulse of KL’s premier address.

Nature-themed retreat to call home

Conceived as a nature-led retreat, the development embraces a resort-like ambience that complements the surrounding greenery. Drawing inspiration from the harmonious relationship between TERRA, VERDE and AIRE (earth, green and air in Latin), MAIA Mont’Kiara optimises nature’s endowments through soothing open spaces, natural greenery, expansive glazing, abundant daylight and breezy airflow.

Inside the homes, generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors to enjoy the verdant surroundings.

Approximately two acres, representing 42% of the development land, are dedicated to landscaped gardens, lush green spaces, and lifestyle facilities which are spread across five distinct zones at three levels.

A porte-cochère welcomes residents to an array of resort-like facilities designed to enhance wellbeing and health. The infinity pool serves as a central feature, while the sky lounge, lounge pool and sunken lounge also anchor the experience with elegant settings.

Without the hassle of luggage and long hauls, residents enjoy a restorative escape right outside their doorsteps from an exclusive collection of wellness nooks, including the bio pond, fern-valley walk, jogging trail, hydrotherapy pool, sauna and yoga deck.

For a time of relaxation and fun activities, a family lounge, kids’ indoor play area, kids’ pool and games room, alongside a dedicated pet park, ensure every member of the household, including beloved furkids, is thoughtfully catered for.

Full-fledged urban ecosystem

Lifestyle offerings have long defined Mont’Kiara as a mature and sought-after urban ecosystem for local and international families alike.

From neighbourhood favourites such as Verve Shops, Plaza Mont’Kiara, One Mont’Kiara, Arcoris and Steppes to established lifestyle destinations including Solaris Mont’Kiara, Publika, Sunway 163 and Hartamas Shopping Centre, residents benefit from a vibrant host of essentials covering F&B, grocery, services and many more.

Further expanding the choices available within the surrounding vicinity are retail landmarks such as One Utama, The Curve, Plaza Arkadia, and Ikano, which anchors IKEA.

Nature and recreation are equally woven into everyday life, with the adjacent Bukit Kiara offering an abundance of recreational opportunities. Residents can immerse in outdoor pursuits at Bukit Kiara Hill, enjoy golfing at the prestigious KL Golf & Country Club, or partake in horseback riding and other sports at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club. The nearby National Science Centre further adds to the area’s family-oriented appeal.

Mont’Kiara is also well known for its concentration of international educational and healthcare institutions. Families are well served by pre-school options such as Trinity Kids — The Verve Shops, as well as a cluster of highly regarded institutions such as Garden International School, Mont’Kiara International School and the French School of KL, which provide globally-recognised primary and secondary academic programmes.

Reputable healthcare providers such as Kiara Medical Centre, Global Doctors Hospital, ParkCity Medical Centre and Pantai Hospital KL ensure healthcare needs are well supported close to home.

While sequestered from the din and drone of the city’s pace, MAIA Mont’Kiara remains strategically positioned within easy reach via established infrastructure including the NKVE, DUKE, SPRINT Highway, Penchala Link and Kerinchi Link, placing the wider Klang Valley comfortably within its daily orbit.

Sustainable future

Underlying MAIA Mont’Kiara’s nature-led philosophy is a commitment to sustainable living and long-term value creation. Affirming UEM Sunrise’s vision for a low-carbon future and safeguarding the wellbeing of generations to come, MAIA Mont’Kiara has been awarded GreenRE Provisional Gold certification.

Sustainability features include rainwater harvesting systems and electric-vehicle charging facilities on every parking level, as well as fast chargers conveniently located at the ground floor.

For those seeking the rare privilege of living above the city in an exclusive daily retreat overlooking lush greenery, MAIA Mont’Kiara represents a fitting opportunity.
