Completed in 2013 with 1,200 units, it is one of the few large-scale buildings in Ara Damansara that consistently sits in the RM1,600–2,200 monthly rent band.

|---|---|
| Developer | MNH Global Assets Management (Island Circle Development subsidiary) |

Being freehold matters less for renters than it does for buyers, but it does signal long-term developer commitment to the area and generally attracts owner-occupiers as neighbours — which reduces the short-stay Airbnb turnover that plagues some leasehold service residences nearby.

Honest watch-outs
Pacific Place’s 1,200 units means a large variety in unit condition — inspect carefully. A 2013 completion means some units have had multiple tenancies and varying levels of maintenance. Check: water pressure, air-con function, window seals, kitchen cabinet condition, and whether the furnished appliances are working (not just present). Take photos and list defects in the tenancy agreement’s handover checklist.
Car park availability is reported as tight during peak hours. If you drive, confirm parking allocation is included in your rent and clarify visitor parking arrangements before signing.
