Kingfisher Putatan
Kingfisher Putatan, a condominium by Hap Seng Land, is already completed and stands in Putatan, Sabah, roughly twelve kilometres south of central Kota Kinabalu. Its Phase 2B comprises 408 units spread over three blocks: Block B rises 15 storeys, while Blocks C and D reach 18. The 12-acre land also accommodates the phase that came before it.
Majlis Daerah Putatan granted the Occupation Certificate on 25 November 2020, which means buyers inspect a finished building instead of studying drawings. Handover condition is a tiled bare shell with a dry kitchen and a wet kitchen. Structurally, the blocks follow a seismic interlocking structural design, which makes sense in Sabah, where the 2015 Ranau earthquake was felt.
There are just two floor plans, and each has three bedrooms. Type A is the 1,065 sq ft corner layout; Type B is the 1,009 sq ft intermediate. All units come with a balcony of 73.1 sq ft and two allocated car park bays on an elevated deck. Floor-to-floor height is 3,325 mm, above the 3,200 mm typical of most Malaysian condominiums. On each floor, eight units share three lifts.
The recreational line-up is complete rather than a token deck: an adult pool and a wading pool, a gym with changing rooms and showers, a function room, a multipurpose hall, landscaped gardens and a playground for children, all protected by three-tier security. WTW Property Services (Sabah) manages the estate; the service charge stands at RM0.28 psf, with RM0.03 on top for the sinking fund.
Quick answer: Kingfisher Putatan is a leasehold high rise condominium development by Hap Seng Land in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It offers 408 units, with 3 bedroom layouts, from 1,009 to 1,065 sq ft, already completed.
Development at a Glance
Everything below comes from the developer’s own material. These are the figures that are fixed at construction — renovation changes none of them, so they are worth checking before anything else.
- Developer — Hap Seng Land
- Property type — High Rise Condominium
- Tenure — Leasehold
- Land title — Residential
- Land area — 12 acres
- Blocks — 3 blocks
- Storeys — Block B has 15; Blocks C and D have 18 each
- Total units — 408
- Units per floor — 8
- Lifts — 3
- Car parking — every unit is allocated 2 bays on an elevated parking deck, reached via a 4 m wide ramp
- Security — 3 tiers
- Architect — Floor-to-floor height of 3,325 mm; seismic interlocking structural design
- Completion — Completed
What the numbers actually say
408 homes on 12 acres is about 34 units per acre. That is low by high-rise standards, which usually shows up as more open ground and fewer people sharing the lift lobby.
Lift provisioning is the number people notice daily and can never change afterwards: 8 units to a floor, with 3 in each of the 3 blocks. That works out to roughly 45 homes per passenger lift, which is generous provisioning.
Each unit comes with 2 allocated bays on the elevated parking deck, reached up a ramp 4 m wide. Because the building is already finished, parking is fixed and cannot be altered later, so compare it honestly with the number of cars your household keeps.
The development is finished and the certificate of completion has been issued, so what you view is what you get — no construction risk and no waiting period, but also no scope to vary the layout.
Unit Types
| Type | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1,065 sq ft | 3 | 2 | Corner. 1,065.2 sq ft. Master 186.7 sq ft, second 117.3 sq ft, living 168.5 sq ft, dining 104.6 sq ft, balcony 73.1 sq ft |
| B | 1,009 sq ft | 3 | 2 | Intermediate. 1,009.6 sq ft. Master 161.0 sq ft, second 117.2 sq ft, third 92.1 sq ft, living 168.5 sq ft, dining 104.6 sq ft, balcony 73.1 sq ft |
The two plans are separated by just 56 sq ft, so size is not really the decision; position is. Type A sits on the corner with windows on two sides, while Type B is an intermediate unit. Each has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, dry and wet kitchens and a pair of car park bays, and they share an identical 168.5 sq ft living room and a balcony of 73.1 sq ft. In Type A the additional space goes to the master bedroom, which measures 186.7 sq ft against 161.0 sq ft in Type B. Type B instead spreads its area across three bedrooms that are all practical sizes. Three lifts serve the eight units on each floor.

Location & Connectivity
The address is Jalan Ketiau, Putatan, the district directly south of Kota Kinabalu that has taken most of the city’s expansion. It lies beyond the city grid yet stays well connected to it. The city centre is 12 km away and Kota Kinabalu International Airport 7 km, and one road reaches both without cutting through town. For frequent flyers this is the location’s best argument: the terminal is roughly ten minutes from the door.
Day-to-day needs are covered without fuss. About five minutes away is the Putatan tamu, open every day, while One Place Mall and Servay Hypermarket handle the weekly shopping. SMK Tansau and several primary schools are within a few kilometres; Klinik Kesihatan Putatan sits 4.5 km away, and Rafflesia Medical Centre lies further down Jalan Lintas. That road, together with Jalan Kepayan, links the area to Kinarut, Penampang, Tanjung Aru and both airport terminals while bypassing central Kota Kinabalu. Here, avoiding the city centre counts for more than the distance on the map.
- Kota Kinabalu city centre — roughly 15 minutes’ drive, 12 km away
- Kota Kinabalu International Airport — around 10 minutes, 7 km
- Putatan tamu — the daily open-air local market, roughly 5 minutes away
- One Place Mall — closest full mall, at the Sepanggar junction of Jalan Lintas
- Servay Hypermarket — everyday grocery run
- SMK Tansau — nearest secondary school
- Klinik Kesihatan Putatan — 4.5 km
- Rafflesia Medical Centre — a private hospital along the Jalan Lintas route
- Tanjung Aru railway station — on the Sabah State Railway route heading south towards Beaufort and Tenom, 4.9 km away
- Tanjung Aru beach and Sutera Harbour Resort — where this same corridor reaches the waterfront

Is Kingfisher Putatan Right For You?
Why Buy at Kingfisher Putatan
What you view is what you get. Completion came with the Occupation Certificate in November 2020, so there is no vacant possession date to wait on and no building risk. Nothing depends on an artist's impression: before committing, you can stand in the real unit, use the real lift and check the real view from the window.
Parking for two cars. Condominiums of a similar size usually allocate one bay, or occasionally one and a half. Here each unit gets two on an elevated deck, a lasting benefit for a home with two working adults, and the feature residents tend to bring up before anything else.
Extra ceiling height. Floor-to-floor height is 3,325 mm, compared with the usual 3,200 mm. The 125 mm gap looks small on a spec sheet, yet it decides whether a room feels cramped or open, and no renovation can add it later.
A structure suited to Sabah. Since the 2015 Ranau earthquake, local buyers read structural specifications closely, so the seismic interlocking structural design carries real weight here. Add a generous 12-acre site and a complete set of recreational facilities, and no other condominium in Putatan offers the same combination.
The airport is ten minutes away. For anyone who flies often for work or to see family, this location saves time every week in a way a city-centre home cannot.
Why Kingfisher Putatan May Not Suit You
It is leasehold, on Sabah Country Lease titles. Financing and resale both work, but the ceiling on long-run capital appreciation is lower than a freehold equivalent, and any transfer needs state consent. If freehold is a hard requirement, stop here.
Two layouts, both three-bedroom, 56 sq ft apart. There is no studio, no two-bedroom and no dual-key. A single person, a couple with no plan for children, or anyone wanting a smaller entry unit will find nothing here that fits.
Handed over bare. No built-in kitchen cabinetry, no wardrobes, no air-conditioning, no water heater — tiles and a smoke detector. Budget for a full fit-out on top of the purchase, which for a 1,000 sq ft three-bedroom is not a small number.
Putatan is not Kota Kinabalu. Twelve kilometres reads short until it is a weekday evening on Jalan Lintas. If your daily routine is anchored in the city centre rather than the airport, you will feel the commute.
The service charge has already been revised once, and may move again. It went to RM0.28 psf in January 2025, and the managing agent's own notice records that the valuer recommended RM0.37 psf and that the budget at RM0.28 still runs a monthly deficit. Assume the number goes up rather than down.
Our Take
Which unit should you choose at Kingfisher Putatan?
Kingfisher Putatan in Putatan, Sabah suits most buyers best as a Type A corner unit: 1,065 sq ft, only 56 sq ft more than the intermediate Type B at 1,009 sq ft. Both have three bedrooms and two bathrooms; Type A puts the extra space into a larger master bedroom.
- Why Type A
- Type A is 900 mm wider (10,650 mm against 9,750 mm), and the plans put all of it on the master's side: 4,200 mm against 3,300 mm. The living room and second bedroom keep the same widths.
- Pick differently if
- Type B (1,009 sq ft) if a 161.0 sq ft master is enough: its second and third bedrooms, 168.5 sq ft living room and 73.1 sq ft balcony match Type A's almost exactly.
- Check before you book
- Kingfisher Putatan is leasehold on a Sabah Country Lease title, but the developer's documents give no expiry year. Get the remaining years from a title search before you book.
