Tenure

Freehold

Total Units

288

Built-up

1,215 - 1,495 sq ft

Nearest Transit

Kuchai MRT (PY27) — 18 min walk

Putrajaya Line (MRT2)

Marketing describes the building as 'walking distance' to amenities and one listing claims the MRT is 'just next to it,' while a more conservative iProperty listing instead estimates 2km. An independent geocoding cross-check puts the straight-line distance at approximately 1.17km, suggesting a realistic walk in the 1.3-1.6km / 15-20 minute range — the marketing language is overstated. A nearer alternative station (Awan Besar, also on the Putrajaya Line) could not be ruled out and was not cross-checked.

Flood Risk

MODERATE

No flood report is specific to 288 Residences or its own street (Taman Gembira/Jalan Riangria). The broader Jalan Kuchai Lama corridor nearby has documented recurring flash flooding, including a May 2026 report explicitly referencing a repeat of a 2022 incident — this is area-level context, not confirmation that this specific building floods.

Maintenance Fee

RM 0.22 psf

Sourced from a single iProperty listing, not a published building-wide management fee schedule.

Building guide overview

Freehold 24-storey, 288-unit condo completed around 2014-2015, off Jalan Kuchai Lama — marketed as walking distance to the MRT, though an independent map check puts the realistic walk closer to 15-20 minutes.

Sources & References

Developer is consistently branded 'Akisama Group' across the developer's own site and listing portals, but a 2013 construction-industry blog instead names the actual builder as 'Sigma One Builders Sdn Bhd (owned by Akisama)' — no SSM registration number was found for either name. Block/tower count is unconfirmed; the developer describes it loosely as a 'semi-dee condominium' on a 2.87-acre plot. Built-up size range is disputed at the top end: 1,215-1,495 sq ft per one source vs 1,215-2,943 sq ft per another — both agree on the 1,215 sq ft floor only. Completion year is disputed between 2014 and 2015; a contemporaneous 2013 blog projected a December 2014 handover while flagging the project as already running 10-30% behind schedule at that point, so either year is plausible. Marketed 'walking distance' / 'just next to' the MRT claims do not hold up against an independent map check: coordinates place the building roughly 1.17km straight-line from Kuchai MRT, suggesting a realistic 15-20 minute walk — closer than one listing's stated 2km, but far from 'next to it'. A second, potentially closer Putrajaya Line station (Awan Besar) could not be checked and is not ruled out as the true nearest station. Launch-era pricing is disputed (RM500 psf per a 2013 blog vs RM360 psf per another source). The RM0.22 psf maintenance fee comes from a single listing, not a published building-wide rate. No flood report is specific to this building; the general Jalan Kuchai Lama corridor (a different, nearby street) has documented recurring flooding, which is area-level context only. — Our methodologyLast updated: 3 August 2026
