Eden Taman Duta by BRDB is priced from about RM8.9 million to RM33.0 million on the developer’s approved advertising permit, roughly RM1,680 - 1,730 psf at the two ends, for 146 freehold residences of 5,296 sq ft to 19,041 sq ft on 12.25 acres. It sits on Jalan Gallagher, Taman Duta, beside Bukit Tunku and the Parliament precinct, and it is one of the rarest new property launches in KL: villa-sized homes at very low density in the city’s most established hill enclave.
The key facts: about 11.9 homes to the acre, 22 duplex penthouses, and completion expected in December 2029.

The residence: why Eden stands out
Density measured in homes per acre, not per floor
At 146 homes on 12.25 acres, Eden works out to about 11.9 residences an acre, closer to a landed estate than a condominium. No block is higher than seven storeys.
A podium beneath the whole site holds the car parks, and each building has its own drop-off. The Edge reports about 30% of the site as greenery. For buyers who want a low density luxury condo in KL without giving up security and services, this is the defining feature.
Villa-sized homes
The smallest home, BRDB’s Resident’s Villa Type A, is 5,296 - 5,533 sq ft. Type C is 6,491 sq ft. Penthouses come in three types: 9,182 - 9,192 sq ft, 11,141 sq ft, and 18,998 - 19,041 sq ft.
Each duplex penthouse has internal stairs and its own lift, the vertical equivalent of a bungalow. The 11,141 sq ft show unit has four plus two bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and Tatler describes the plans as designed for multigenerational living. The show unit is dressed by SPACE, with Poggenpohl, Gaggenau, Molteni&C, Hansgrohe and Villeroy & Boch among the named brands.
Club and pavilions
The Edge lists an Eden Club with concierge, lounges, function room, gym, pools, crèche and yoga deck; a Wellness Pavilion with steam room, sauna, plunge pool and Jacuzzi; a Garden Pavilion with viewing deck and lawn; and an Active Pavilion with tennis, basketball and pickleball courts. The project is aligned with GreenRE Gold standards, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting and regenerative lifts.
The address: Taman Duta and Bukit Tunku
An address that cannot be repeated
Taman Duta and Bukit Tunku are among KL’s oldest and greenest residential hills, next to Parliament and the diplomatic district. New supply here is scarce, because sites change hands rarely.
BRDB, founded in 1964 and the builder of Bangsar Shopping Centre, has held this site since 1997 and waited, by its own account, for the right moment to build. The developer calls Eden its most considered project since One Menerung in Bangsar. Construction began in June 2026.
Location
- Bukit Tunku and Mont Kiara: Bukit Tunku adjoins the site; Mont Kiara, with Garden International School and Mont’Kiara International School, is a short drive north.
- Roads: Mont Kiara sits at the junction of the Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE) and other expressways, and Bangsar and Damansara Heights are about 10-15 minutes by car outside peak hours.
- Within a short drive: Bangsar Shopping Centre, KL Sentral, the National Palace, Parliament House, MATRADE, KLCC, Merdeka 118 and TRX; Alice Smith School and other international schools; Pantai Hospital, Prince Court Medical Centre and Tung Shin Hospital (EdgeProp).
- Transit: there is no MRT or LRT station within walking distance. This is a car-first address, with 4 to 11 parking bays per unit.
Prices and what they mean
Eden is still selling off-plan, so there are no transacted resale prices or rental listings yet.
Approved selling prices from the advertising permit on BRDB’s site, October 2026:
| Block type | Units | Selling price range |
|---|---|---|
| 5-storey blocks (four) | 13, 13, 13, 12 | RM8.91M - RM32.82M |
| 7-storey blocks (four) | 21, 27, 27, 20 | RM8.91M - RM32.99M |
The entry villa works out to about RM1,683 psf (RM8.91 million for 5,296 sq ft) and the largest penthouse to about RM1,733 psf (RM32.99 million for 19,041 sq ft). Bumiputera buyers receive a 5% discount. On a Bukit Tunku hillside, the price is set by the size of the home: even the entry residence costs nearly RM9 million.
Rental yield: Eden is a new launch with no rental record yet. Homes of this size in KL lease to a narrow pool of senior expatriate and diplomatic tenants, so Eden is best bought as a family home or a long-term capital hold rather than a yield play.
How Eden compares with TRX
Eden offers what a city-centre tower cannot: villa-sized floor plates, about 12 homes an acre and a mature hill setting. TRX offers what Taman Duta cannot: the city’s only MRT Line 1 and Line 2 interchange, a 10-acre rooftop park and around 30,000 office workers on the doorstep.
Its benchmark, TRX Residences, recorded a median of about RM2,265 psf with asking-rent yields of around 5%, a depth of rental demand that a car-dependent hill enclave is unlikely to match. Read why TRX is Kuala Lumpur’s new prime address. Buy Eden for space and seclusion; buy TRX for liquidity, transit and income.
On our KL vs Asia radius maps, RM5 million buys about 3,043 sq ft near KLCC, against 372 sq ft in Hong Kong, 665 in Singapore and 699 in Tokyo; Eden’s entry villa, at 5,296 sq ft, is more than fourteen times the Hong Kong figure.

What to weigh
- Off-plan horizon. Completion is December 2029, so capital is committed for about three years before you move in.
- Car-first living. There is no rail station within walking distance.
- Liquidity. At RM9 million to RM33 million, the resale buyer pool is small.
