The residential blocks rise to 26 storeys above a podium that holds Ara Bloc Retail, the car parks and the residents’ facilities. Press coverage of the launch names Jaya Grocer and BilaBila Mart among the retail tenants, and the developer describes its anchor tenant as ready.
Inside the homes, the pitch is flexibility. Types B and C have hackable walls that can be removed to enlarge the living area or carve out a home office, the developer says every room gets natural light and airflow, and the Type C plan adds gentle ramps at the entrance and into the master bathroom.

Is Ara Bloc Residences Right For You?
Why Buy at Ara Bloc Residences
Freehold, with shops downstairs. Ara Bloc is freehold and sits on its own retail podium with a supermarket anchor tenant, and Lotus's is about 100 m away, so daily errands do not need the car.
Two LRT stations within 1.4 km. Ara Damansara and Lembah Subang LRT stations are each about 1.4 km away, and the LDP, NKVE and Federal Highway are all close.
Layouts you can change. Types B and C have hackable walls to open up the living area or form a study, and Type C adds a study/utility area plus gentle ramps at the entrance and master bathroom.
Why Ara Bloc Residences May Not Suit You
A large, busy development. 998 homes above a retail podium means shared lifts, a busy car park and shopper traffic downstairs. If you want a quiet, low-density block, this is not it.
Two bathrooms even in the largest unit. Type C is 1,238 sq ft with three bedrooms and a study but still two bathrooms. Larger households should walk the plan with that in mind.
Still off-plan. Construction started in 2026 and completion is targeted for 2029 to 2030. Check the SPA delivery date and the land title before you book.
Our Take
Which unit should you choose at Ara Bloc Residences?
Ara Bloc Residences in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya suits most buyers best as a Type B: three bedrooms in 961 sq ft, only 194 sq ft more than the two-bedroom Type A. Go up to Type C (1,238 sq ft) only if you need the study area or step-free access.
- Why Type B
- The en-suite master sits on its own side of the living room, away from the other two bedrooms and their shared bathroom. Its hackable wall is the entrance-to-kitchen partition, so it opens up the kitchen, not a bedroom.
- Pick differently if
- Type A (767 sq ft, 2 bedrooms) for one or two people. Type C (1,238 sq ft) for a study/utility area and gentle ramps at the entrance and into the master bathroom.
- Check before you book
- The land title and the 2029–2030 completion target come from press reports, not a developer document yet. Ask for both in writing before you book.
