Orion Residence

Orion Residence is a freehold 46-storey serviced residence on Jalan Gading, off Jalan Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur. Developed by Orion Tower Sdn Bhd under the Welton group, the single tower holds 298 units on a compact 0.56-acre site, seventy-five metres from Starhill Gallery and two hundred from Pavilion. It is one of the few addresses in the city where the shopping belt is genuinely a walk rather than a drive.

Quick answer: Orion Residence is a Freehold High Rise Condominium development by Orion Tower Sdn Bhd in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. It offers 298 units with Studio to 3 bedrooms, from 491 – 1,329 sq ft, with completion targeted for Q2 2026.

A Single Tower on a Small Site

Orion Residence is one tower, 46 floors, on 0.56 acres. That is a tight footprint even by city-centre standards, and it shapes almost everything about the building: floor plates are small, there are only nine to ten units on a residential level, and the facilities are stacked vertically across five separate levels rather than spread across a podium deck.

The tower is held under a commercial title governed by the Housing Development Act, on freehold land approved by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Floor-to-ceiling height is 3,000mm with 3,500mm slab to slab, and 2,800mm in the kitchen. Windows are 28mm double-glazed bronze glass, which on this address is a practical decision rather than a specification-sheet flourish — Jalan Bukit Bintang does not go quiet at night.

Lift provision is unusually generous for 298 units: six passenger lifts plus one service lift serve the residential floors, with a separate express glass lift running to Level 43 and a platform lift covering Levels 43 to 46. Parking is a fully automated mechanical system occupying Levels 1 to 8 — you hand the car over at the drop-off and the building parks it. There are 400 bays in total with 30 for visitors, and every unit carries 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 — studio, 491 to 588 sq ft. A single open span running dining, living and sleeping, with a pantry and one bathroom. A1 to A3 sit on the upper residential band from Level 27 up; A4 sits lower, from Level 11 to 26. The one worth asking about is A4-T at 588 sq ft — same interior, plus a private terrace, and it exists only on Level 11. Ninety-seven square feet of outdoor space on a studio in Bukit Bintang is not a common thing.

Type B — two bedrooms, 680 to 746 sq ft. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms inside seven hundred square feet means both rooms are compact and the pantry is a galley, not a kitchen you cook in daily. B1 and B4 sit on Levels 11 to 26; B2 and B3 sit higher, Levels 32 to 41. B2 and B3 are the same 746 sq ft mirrored, so the choice between them is which way the unit faces, not how much space you get.

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.
