Bukit Tunku New Launches 2026: Every New Home in Kenny Hills and Taman Duta, Kuala Lumpur

Bukit Tunku, still called Kenny Hills by most Kuala Lumpur residents, is the city’s most exclusive hillside bungalow enclave: freehold lots on forested ridges beside the Perdana Botanical Gardens and Parliament, about 3.5 km in a straight line from KLCC. New homes arrive here once or twice a decade. The 2026 new launch is Eden Taman Duta by BRDB, 146 freehold residences on the Taman Duta edge of the hill, priced from about RM8.9 million and under construction since June 2026. Around it sit a handful of completed low-rise projects and a thin supply of bungalow land. This page lists every project on the hill, what each costs and how the enclave prices against KLCC and TRX.

Transacted figures are EdgeProp medians and averages for the last 48 months. Taman Duta is the hill’s southern edge on Jalan Duta and Jalan Gallagher; Eden’s contractor describes the site as Taman Duta, Bukit Tunku, and buyers treat the two as one address.

The 2026 new launch: Eden Taman Duta by BRDB

Eden is the only developer-led launch on the hill in 2026, and the largest in a generation:

• Scale. 146 freehold residences in eight low-rise blocks of five and seven storeys on 12.25 acres, about 11.9 homes an acre, including 22 duplex penthouses with internal stairs and a private lift.
• Sizes. Villas of 5,296 - 6,491 sq ft and penthouses of 9,182 - 19,041 sq ft.
• Price. RM8,914,279 to RM32,989,588 on the developer’s approved advertising permit, about RM1,683 psf for the entry villa and RM1,733 psf for the largest penthouse.
• Construction. BRDB awarded the RM529.32 million building contract to Kerjaya Prospek in June 2026: eight villa blocks, two car park blocks, two basement levels and a clubhouse, built within 33 months from 15 June 2026. The permit sets completion for December 2029.

BRDB has held the land since 1997 and calls Eden its most considered project since One Menerung in Bangsar. Read our full Eden Taman Duta review.

1 Selekoh Tunku: six homes, completed 2025

The newest completed project on the hill is 1 Selekoh Tunku by Ahabah Properties: six freehold apartment-style bungalow units in a gated compound, completed in 2025. Six homes is the scale at which Bukit Tunku usually adds supply: a single bungalow plot redeveloped into a private block for a handful of families. Units trade privately through agents rather than through a show gallery.

The Tijani precinct: Bolton’s three phases

Tijani is the closest Bukit Tunku has to a master-planned estate, built by Bolton in three phases:

• Tijani 1 (2001). 33 freehold bungalow lots of 10,500 - 55,000 sq ft on 22 acres, launched at RM220 psf of land. StarProperty records asking prices later reaching about RM400 psf.
• Tijani 2 North (completed January 2009). 154 freehold homes on 7.4 acres, 70 duplexes and 84 condominium units across three low-rise blocks, a 9-storey block and a 17-storey block. Built-ups run 2,827 - 5,644 sq ft. It launched at RM650 psf and has since transacted at a median of RM858 psf, in a range of RM760 - 895 psf.
• Arata of Tijani. The final phase: three 10-storey towers with 100 freehold units, launched at RM630,000 to RM1.7 million with a gross development value of RM122 million. Units now transact at an average of RM784 psf.

Tijani 2 North is the figure we use for Bukit Tunku in our KL vs Asia radius maps: the hill’s most traded condominium, and a fair price for large-format family homes with full condominium security.

Kenny Hills Residence and Impian Bukit Tunku: completed low-rise villas

Two completed projects show what low-rise villa living on the hill costs on resale:

• Kenny Hills Residence. 63 freehold condominium villas of 3,627 - 6,738 sq ft on 4.75 acres, completed in March 2014 by Sime Darby Brunsfield. Subsale asking prices start from about RM3.68 million for the Grande 1 type and about RM5.16 million for the Albizia type.
• Impian Bukit Tunku. 30 freehold tropical villas around a clubhouse on Jalan Chempenai, in a gated compound of about six acres. Transactions over the last 48 months sit at a median of RM1,064 psf, the highest resale level on the hill.

Bungalow land: the scarcest product in the enclave

Most of Bukit Tunku is individual bungalow lots, and that is where much of the enclave’s value lies. Two freehold lots listed on EdgeProp in 2026 show today’s pricing:

• Laman Tunku. 30,328 sq ft of residential land asking about RM21.5 million, about RM709 psf of land.
• Jalan Girdie. 21,600 sq ft of freehold land asking about RM14.9 million, about RM690 psf of land.

Add design and construction of a 10,000 sq ft-plus bungalow, and a new-build home on the hill typically runs well into eight figures, comparable to Eden’s larger penthouses.

Landed or low-rise: how to choose

• A bungalow lot gives full control of the design, the most privacy and the strongest land story, but the buyer manages construction, security and upkeep alone.
• A low-rise villa or duplex (Eden, Kenny Hills Residence, Impian, Tijani 2 North) gives guarded access, shared pools and clubs, a managed building and lock-and-leave convenience, at bungalow-sized floor areas from about 2,800 sq ft to 19,000 sq ft.
• The middle path is Eden’s duplex penthouse: up to 19,041 sq ft with its own lift, the vertical equivalent of a bungalow inside a serviced estate.

Privacy, greenery and access

• Green on every side. The hill adjoins the Perdana Botanical Gardens and the Parliament precinct, so the views are of forest canopy rather than towers.
• Neighbours. Ambassadors’ residences, Parliament and Istana Negara nearby give Bukit Tunku a quiet, diplomatic character and low traffic on its inner roads.
• City access. KLCC is about 3.5 km and TRX about 5 km in a straight line, a short drive outside peak hours via Jalan Duta. Mont Kiara’s international schools, Bangsar and Damansara Heights sit just to the west.
• Car-first. There is no rail station within walking distance; every household drives.

How Bukit Tunku compares on price

Project	Area	Basis	psf
Four Seasons Place	KLCC	Transacted median	RM3,000
TRX Residences	TRX	Transacted median, 560 deals	RM2,265
Eden Taman Duta	Bukit Tunku / Taman Duta	Approved selling price	RM1,683 - 1,733
Prime KL high-end homes	Within 5 km of KLCC	Median	RM1,643
Impian Bukit Tunku	Bukit Tunku	Transacted median	RM1,064
Tijani 2 North	Bukit Tunku	Transacted median	RM858
Arata of Tijani	Bukit Tunku	Average transacted	RM784
Bungalow land	Bukit Tunku	Asking, per sq ft of land	RM690 - 709

On a psf basis, Bukit Tunku’s resale homes cost roughly a third to a half of KLCC and TRX, because the hill sells space rather than height. On a ticket basis it is the opposite: the smallest new home at Eden costs about RM8.9 million, five times the entry price of a new TRX residence. Four Seasons Place and TRX Residences buy transit, services and rental depth; Bukit Tunku buys land, canopy and seclusion.

Freehold bungalow land listed in 2026 asks about RM690 - 709 psf of land, so a 21,600 - 30,328 sq ft lot asks about RM14.9 - 21.5 million before construction. Completed villas resell from about RM3.68 million at Kenny Hills Residence, and new villas at Eden start at about RM8.9 million.

Every project on this page is freehold: Eden Taman Duta, 1 Selekoh Tunku, the Tijani phases, Kenny Hills Residence, Impian Bukit Tunku and the bungalow lots listed for sale.
