Orion Residence

Set on Jalan Gading, a short turn off Jalan Bukit Bintang, Orion Residence places 298 serviced residence units in one freehold tower of 46 storeys, built on just 0.56 acres of Kuala Lumpur land. The developer is Orion Tower Sdn Bhd, part of the Welton group. Starhill Gallery lies seventy-five metres from the entrance and Pavilion roughly two hundred, so getting to the city’s main retail strip means strolling over, not taking the car. Very few KL addresses can honestly say that.

Quick answer: Orion Residence, a Freehold High Rise Condominium in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, comes from developer Orion Tower Sdn Bhd. Its 298 units span Studio to 3 bedrooms and 491 to 1,329 sq ft, and completion is scheduled for Q2 2026.

A Single Tower on a Small Site

A single 46-floor tower on 0.56 acres is a small plot even for central KL, and that constraint explains most of how Orion Residence works. The plates are narrow, so each residential floor carries just nine or ten units. Rather than sitting on one podium deck, the shared facilities climb upward over five distinct levels. The design follows the land, not the other way round.

Title is commercial, with sales regulated under the Housing Development Act, and the freehold land carries Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur approval. Inside, ceilings sit 3,000mm above the floor (3,500mm slab to slab), dropping to 2,800mm in the kitchen. Glazing is 28mm double-glazed bronze glass. Jalan Bukit Bintang stays noisy through the night, so that choice is about sleeping properly rather than dressing up a brochure.

For a block of 298 units, the lift count is high. Residents get six passenger lifts and one service lift on the residential floors, an express glass lift serving as high as Level 43, plus a platform lift for Levels 43 to 46. Cars go into an automated mechanical park spread over Levels 1 to 8: drivers leave the vehicle at the drop-off point and the system stores it. Of the 400 bays, 30 are set aside for visitors, and each unit comes with one right-to-use bay.

Unit Types at Orion Residence

Twenty-one layouts across four families. Type A is studio, Types B and C are two-bedroom at two different scales, and Type D is a three-bedroom dual key. The `-T` variants sit on Level 11 and add a private terrace.

Layout & Floor Plan

Type A — studios of 491 to 588 sq ft. Living, dining and bed share one open room, alongside a pantry and a single bathroom. A1 to A3 are found from Level 27 upward, while A4 is placed lower, between Level 11 and 26. Pay attention to A4-T, 588 sq ft: the layout inside is identical, with a private terrace added on, and only Level 11 has it. A studio with ninety-seven square feet of its own outdoor space is rare in Bukit Bintang.

Type B — two-bedroom layouts, 680–746 sq ft. Fitting two bedrooms and two bathrooms into roughly seven hundred square feet leaves both bedrooms small, and the pantry is a narrow galley for light cooking rather than a full everyday kitchen. Levels 11 to 26 hold B1 and B4. Further up, on Levels 32 to 41, are B2 and B3, which are mirror images at 746 sq ft each. Picking between those two comes down to which direction you face; the floor area is identical.

Type C — two bedrooms, 838 to 1,186 sq ft. This is the widest band and where most of the real decisions sit. The plain variants (C1, C5, C3, C2, C4) run 838 to 992 sq ft and are all two-bed two-bath — the extra area over Type B goes into the living and dining span, not into more rooms. The three terrace variants (C5-T, C3-T, C4-T) are all Level 11 and add between 190 and 232 sq ft of private terrace over their non-terrace equivalents.

Type D — three bedrooms, three bathrooms, dual key, 1,180 to 1,329 sq ft. The only layouts with a lockable second entrance, so one household can occupy the main portion while the studio portion stays separate. All four sit on Levels 27 to 41. Note that Type D is listed as sold out at the developer’s last update — ask us to check current availability before you plan around it.

Every unit is oriented against four named sightlines the developer marks on each plan: TRX, PNB 118, KLCC and the Royal Selangor Golf Club. Which one you actually get depends on the stack, so ask for the specific unit number and its orientation rather than the type alone.

Location & Connectivity

Orion Residence sits between Jalan Gading and Jalan Palmer, one street back from Jalan Bukit Bintang. The distances the developer publishes are short enough to be worth listing literally: Starhill Gallery 75m, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur 200m, Lot 10 400m. Bukit Bintang MRT and Monorail are 550m away on Jalan Sultan Ismail, and Tun Razak Exchange is 900m — close enough that TRX is a walk on a cool evening rather than a commute.

Further out, Suria KLCC is 2.9km, KL Tower 2.4km, PNB 118 3.9km, and the Royal Selangor Golf Club 4.0km. Healthcare is unusually close: Prince Court Medical Centre is 1.2km, with Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur at 4.7km and Hospital Kuala Lumpur at 4.9km.

International schools all sit outside the immediate area, which is normal for the city centre — Taylor’s International School 3.4km, Sayfol 4km, Fairview 4.5km, and the International School of Kuala Lumpur 5km on Jalan Ampang Hilir. Families with school runs should drive those routes at the actual hour before committing; Bukit Bintang traffic at 7am is not the same road as Bukit Bintang traffic at noon.

Developer Background

Orion Residence is developed by Orion Tower Sdn Bhd, part of the Welton group of companies, with origins in Johor Bahru and a Kuala Lumpur office at Menara Keck Seng on Jalan Bukit Bintang. Welton Development was recognised in the Residential High-Rise Development Malaysia category at the Asia Pacific Property Awards, and the project also carries a Brand Laureate award from 2023.

This is a smaller developer than the listed names that dominate the surrounding blocks, and Orion Residence is its flagship KL address rather than one of many. That cuts both ways: a single-project focus usually shows in the finishing, but there is less of a completed-handover track record to inspect than you would get from a Mah Sing or an IJM. The building is now at construction Stage 4 with vacant possession notices being prepared, so unlike most listings on this site you can go and look at the real thing rather than a show unit.
