Arra Residences

Building guide overview

Arra Residences is an under-construction freehold serviced apartment by Puncak Arra Sdn Bhd (formerly SD Ara Damansara Development Sdn Bhd, Reg. 1526631-W), part of the Puncakdana Group, on a 4.15-acre site in Ara Damansara. The development comprises 3 residential towers of 32 storeys each (plus a rooftop garden on level 33) plus a separate Grade-A office tower and retail podium (Arra Shopping Centre), totalling 1,275 units across four layouts from 721 to 1,349 sq ft. Launched in Q4 2025 with construction beginning that September, completion is targeted around 2030. Pricing runs roughly RM557–700 psf, from RM488,000. The land is freehold, but titled commercial under Schedule H of the Housing Development Act — a distinction worth taking seriously: commercial-titled units are billed electricity at commercial tariff rates (property reviews estimate roughly RM100–200/month more than residential tariff) rather than domestic rates, don't qualify for Bumiputera discounts, and typically fall outside Bank Negara's residential loan-to-value framework, meaning individual banks set financing margins at their own discretion rather than under the standard residential LTV caps — buyers should confirm actual loan margins with their bank rather than assume residential-title terms apply. On the plus side, this project is HDA-protected (Schedule H) despite the commercial title, which is not universal for commercial-titled residential developments. The project markets itself heavily on proximity to Ara Damansara LRT via a covered walkway, but the exact distance varies by source — the developer's own materials cite figures from 100m to 250m and a '2-minute' walk, while an independent review noted the covered walkway is still only planned (it does not physically exist yet, since the site remains under construction) and ranked this project's LRT proximity third among comparable Ara Damansara launches, behind at least one competitor with a shorter private bridge. As an unfinished project, maintenance fee history, flood record and finished-building photography don't yet exist and are intentionally left out of this profile — likewise, no genuine resident community exists yet for a project that hasn't been built, so no neighbour insights are included.
