St Mary Residences, KL City Centre: Freehold Golden Triangle Suites from RM747 psf, Prices and Rents in 2026

St Mary Residences traded at RM747 to RM1,289 psf in 2025, per EdgeProp, while its suites and rooftop penthouses were asking roughly RM1,100 - 1,480 psf in October 2026. That buys freehold land in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, on the former St Mary’s School site on Jalan Tengah, developed by E&O with Lion Group and completed in 2012.

Key facts: 440 freehold residences in three 28-storey blocks; suites from 1,131 sq ft to rooftop penthouses of 6,769 sq ft; and a gross yield of about 4.4% on a 2+1-bedroom.

The residence: why it reads as luxury

Freehold land in the Golden Triangle

Freehold residential land between Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan P Ramlee rarely comes to market. St Mary Residences occupies a former school site, set back on the quieter Jalan Tengah.

Upper floors look out to the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower.

Suites larger than the serviced-residence norm

Even the smallest home here is a 1,131 sq ft suite. The City Suites run from about 1,442 to 1,732 sq ft, the Metro Suites to 2,249 sq ft, and the rooftop penthouses to 6,769 sq ft.

That is a large luxury unit near KLCC at a psf well below newer branded residences.

E&O provenance

E&O is the group behind the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Penang and, later, The Mews in KLCC. Tower C sold about 80% within a month of its soft launch in June 2009, at an average of RM1,000 psf, and Tower A launched from RM1.1 million. Buyers came from Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The address: walkable and connected

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Lot 10 and Bukit Bintang are all within walking distance.

Raja Chulan monorail station is about 320 - 490 metres away, a four to six minute walk, and Bukit Bintang MRT station about 0.5 - 0.8 km. Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Tun Razak and the AKLEH give road access. Prince Court Medical Centre, Suria KLCC and Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur are each a short drive.

The numbers: what it costs today

Representative asking prices, July - September 2026:

Layout	Size	Asking price	Asking psf	Listing
2+1 bedrooms	1,442 sq ft	RM1.62M	RM1,123	iProperty
3 bedrooms	2,249 sq ft	RM3.2M	RM1,423	iProperty, 3 Jul 2026
3 bedrooms	2,269 sq ft	RM3.18M	RM1,401	EdgeProp, 15 Sep 2026
Triplex penthouse	6,769 sq ft	RM10.0M	RM1,477	iProperty

Recorded transactions sit lower:

• 2019: seven units at an average of RM1,072 psf (EdgeProp Research).
• November 2020: a 1,131 sq ft suite sold for RM1.05 million, or RM928 psf (EdgeProp Done Deal).
• February 2022: a 6,769 sq ft penthouse sold for RM6.2 million, or RM916 psf, in a liquidation sale (EdgeProp Done Deal).
• 2025: EdgeProp’s price history shows transactions from RM747 to RM1,289 psf.

Asking prices often run 20 - 40% above recorded deals, so negotiate from the transacted figures. The penthouses have traded at under RM1,000 psf, a fraction of what comparable space costs in a new KLCC tower.

Rents and yield

Asking rents, July 2026:

Layout	Size	Asking rent per month	Listing
1 bedroom, furnished	1,131 sq ft	RM4,500 - 5,000	iProperty
2+1 bedrooms	n/a	RM5,699	PropertyGuru, 29 Jul 2026
2+1 bedrooms, furnished	1,450 sq ft	RM6,000	iProperty
2+1 bedrooms, furnished	1,560 sq ft	RM6,500	iProperty

StarProperty quotes a rent range of RM3,600 - 14,000 a month across all unit types.

The gross yield working:

• 2+1 bedrooms: RM6,000 x 12 = RM72,000, divided by an asking price of RM1.62 million for 1,442 sq ft = about 4.4% gross (asking rent vs asking price).

This is a gross figure, before maintenance, furnishing, vacancy and tax. A buyer who settles nearer recorded transaction levels lifts the yield further.

How it compares

St Mary Residences offers freehold Golden Triangle land and generous suites at a low psf. The new KLCC launches are priced at about RM2,900 - 3,000 psf; see our guide to KLCC new launches in 2026.

Tun Razak Exchange, a short drive south-east, adds what an older building cannot: an MRT Line 1 and Line 2 interchange, a 10-acre rooftop park and about 30,000 people at work. TRX Residences has a median of about RM2,265 psf and asking-rent yields of around 5%: a higher entry, with a firmer price record. Read why TRX is Kuala Lumpur’s new prime address and our TRX new launches for 2026.

Against other Asian capitals, our KL vs Asia radius maps show RM5 million buys about 3,043 sq ft near KLCC, against 372 sq ft in Hong Kong, 665 in Singapore and 699 in Tokyo.

What to weigh

• Resale record. Transacted psf has been flat or lower since launch, and some sales were distressed, which gives an informed buyer room.
• Age. At 14 years, the sinking fund and planned major works shape value.

Our view

St Mary Residences is the Golden Triangle bought by the square foot. Freehold land, suites that start at 1,131 sq ft and penthouses that have changed hands below RM1,000 psf are rare at this address.

It suits a buyer who values space and a walkable city life over a new-building premium, and buys on transacted evidence. For capital growth and a deeper tenant pool, TRX remains the stronger long-term address. See our luxury housing in Kuala Lumpur 2026 overview.
