Arte Star Sungai Besi: The London-Inspired Transit-Oriented Gem
Arte Star is a leasehold serviced-residence development on Jalan Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur, by Arte Corp (formerly Nusmetro) — the developer behind the design-led “Arte Series”. Priced from RM340,000, Phase 1 (Edition 1, “London”) is an 846-unit tower on a 4.29-acre site with a London-themed design concept (per the developer); a second phase of 996 units is planned.
Connectivity & Location
KTM Salak Selatan (KB03) is about 50m from the site and LRT Salak Selatan (SP13) on the Sri Petaling Line is 589m straight-line — two rail lines within a short radius. The developer describes a dedicated rear access path to the stations, so walk the actual route when you view. DBKL zones the pocket commercial (C, plot ratio 5) inside the Salak Selatan transit planning zone, so expect more towers around it over time.
Layouts & Living
Units run 527 to 947 sqft across 2 to 3 bedrooms — compact formats, with the smallest 2-bedroom at 527 sqft. Net prices start from RM340,000 for the 527 sqft Type A, and estimated instalments start from about RM1,282/month (90% loan, 35 years, 3.6%, the same assumptions as the calculator on this page; your figure depends on your loan profile), and maintenance is estimated at RM0.30 psf (excluding the 10% sinking fund). The scheme is under construction with completion listed for Q4 2028; KPKT’s record shows a vacant-possession date of 18 April 2029 for Phase 1 (TEDUH, as at 26 September 2026), so confirm the actual VP date before committing.
The Sifu View
Arte Star’s honest strength is rail at the doorstep at an entry price below its area: from RM340,000 against a RM474,115 median across the 8 Sungai Besi projects on this site. Buy it for that — a transit-side first home, or a lower-ticket rental unit with Arte’s design-led look. But underwrite it honestly: it is leasehold (to 2120), the units are small, and with 846 units in Phase 1 and 996 more planned, your future tenant or buyer will have a deep pool of near-identical units to choose from. Distinctive design supports rental appeal; it does not promise it — model conservative rent and occupancy, not brochure figures.
