OOAK at Kiara 163, Mont Kiara: Freehold Suites, Prices, Rents and a 5.9% Yield in 2026

OOAK at Kiara 163 trades at a median of about RM1,154 psf, per EdgeProp, and asking rents put the gross yield on a one-bedroom at about 5.9%, one of the stronger returns among freehold Mont Kiara luxury condos. The appeal is the address: freehold title at the entrance to Kuala Lumpur’s most established expatriate suburb, with two international schools about 1-2 km away.

Key facts: 584 furnished suites of about 696 - 1,236 sq ft in two towers above 40 storeys, completed in January 2022 on a 6-acre site; Brickz recorded 42 sales at Kiara 163 between June 2025 and May 2026.

Resort facilities above the city

Residents share an infinity pool and wading pool, a jacuzzi and hot bath, a gymnasium and squash court, a game room, a multipurpose hall, a rooftop barbecue terrace, a lawn and a children’s playground. Access is by smart card, with CCTV and 24-hour security.

Drawn for the rental market

The compact layouts are planned for Mont Kiara’s tenants: expatriate professionals and families. The 1,016 sq ft dual-key unit can be let as two parts, one reason the yield here outpaces many larger, older condominiums nearby.

The address: location and connectivity

Kiara 163 sits right next to Plaza Mont Kiara at the entrance to the enclave (StarProperty). Cafés, grocers and international schools are a few minutes away, and freehold title here supports long-term value.

• Shopping: Plaza Mont Kiara next door, the 163 Retail Park podium on site, and Publika a short drive away.
• International schools (approximate): Garden International School and Mont’Kiara International School are each within about 1-2 km, a few minutes by car. The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) in Ampang Hilir is about 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic.
• Highways: SPRINT, Penchala Link, Kerinchi Link, NKVE and the Jalan Duta - Sungai Buloh Highway.
• City centre (approximate): KLCC is about 10 km away and TRX about 12 km, roughly 20-30 minutes by car outside peak hours.
• Hospitals (approximate): Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur and Prince Court Medical Centre are about 20-25 minutes away.
• Public transport: Rapid KL bus routes 190, T818 and T852. There is no rail station within walking distance.

The numbers: transacted and asking prices

Transacted prices, as recorded:

• EdgeProp, OOAK Suites: median about RM1,154 psf, range RM1,028 - 1,265 psf. Its record is RM1,787 psf for a 560 sq ft unit in April 2026.
• Brickz, Kiara 163: 42 residential sales between June 2025 and May 2026, median RM865,000 and RM1,144 psf, with the middle half between RM967 and RM1,230 psf.

Asking prices on PropertyGuru, late September 2026:

Layout	Size	Asking price	Asking psf
1 bedroom	710 sq ft	RM920,000	RM1,296
1+1 dual-key	1,016 sq ft	RM1,238,000	RM1,219
2 bedrooms	1,103 sq ft	RM1,500,000	RM1,360

PropertyGuru’s asking range across the project is RM1,101 - 1,561 psf, with entry from RM788,000. Asking prices run about 10-20% above recorded sales, a normal spread for a completed, well-let building.

Rents and gross yield

Asking rents, October 2026:

Layout	Asking rent per month	Source
Studio	about RM3,000 average	iProperty
1 bedroom	RM3,400 - 4,500, average about RM4,000	PropertyGuru, iProperty
2 bedrooms	about RM6,000 average	iProperty

A 710 sq ft one-bedroom at the average asking rent of RM4,000 a month earns RM48,000 a year. At the EdgeProp transacted median of RM1,154 psf, that unit is worth about RM819,000, a gross yield of about 5.9% (gross, asking rent vs transacted median). A 1,103 sq ft two-bedroom at RM6,000 a month, valued at the same median psf, returns about 5.7% on the same basis. Both are before maintenance, furnishing, vacancy and tax.

How OOAK compares

OOAK’s lower entry price, around RM1,150 psf, is what lifts its yield. TRX plays at a different level, with the city’s only MRT Line 1 and Line 2 interchange, a 10-acre rooftop park and around 30,000 office workers on site. TRX Residences records a median of about RM2,265 psf, nearly double OOAK’s, and still achieves asking-rent yields of around 5%. Read why TRX is Kuala Lumpur’s new prime address.

Within the suburb, OOAK is the completed benchmark for new projects; our guide to Mont Kiara new launches in 2026 sets them side by side. Further afield, our KL vs Asia radius maps show that RM5 million buys about 3,043 sq ft near KLCC, against 372 sq ft in Hong Kong, 665 in Singapore and 699 in Tokyo. The luxury housing guide to Kuala Lumpur 2026 covers the prime market as a whole.

What to weigh

• Compact homes. OOAK is built around one- and two-bedroom suites. A large luxury unit with a private lift lobby is a format for low-density hill enclaves such as Bukit Damansara.
• Commercial title. The land is commercial, so maintenance and utility charges follow serviced-residence rates.
• Supply. Mont Kiara has a deep stock of competing condominiums, so rents reward good furnishing and condition.
• Car-led. There is no rail station within walking distance.

Our view

OOAK is a well-judged income asset. A median near RM1,154 psf, freehold title and a tenant base of expatriate families produce a gross yield of about 5.9%, a return few freehold addresses in Mont Kiara improve on.

The one-bedroom is the unit to own: the easiest to let and the highest yield in our working.

Against TRX, the choice is income or address: OOAK is a good income buy in a family suburb, while TRX, at nearly double the psf, is where capital value and rental demand meet.
