How much is rent at Halo Sunday?
Compact studios at Halo Sunday are the affordable entry point in the Damansara Perdana belt — indicative from RM1,400/month for the smallest units. Live SPEEDHOME listings show the current entry rent.
Indicative public ranges only — confirm the current 'from' rent against live SPEEDHOME listings.
| Layout | Typical built-up (sf) | Indicative monthly rent | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio (compact) | 345 – 550 | From ~RM1,400/mo indicative | Entry-point stock; furnishing heavily affects value |
| Studio (larger) | 550 – 750 | From ~RM1,700/mo indicative | More common mid-tier; varies by floor and view |
| 1 Bedroom / Larger suite | 750 – 952 | From ~RM2,200/mo indicative | Less common in this tower; higher demand when available |
Cost per square foot at the compact end works out to roughly RM3.50–4.00/sf/month based on the indicative ranges above — broadly comparable to neighbouring mid-range condos once the smaller built-up is factored in. If you need more than one bedroom, Kota Damansara or Mutiara Damansara usually win on space-per-ringgit.
Getting around: commute reality
The nearest MRT stations (Mutiara Damansara and Tropicana) are roughly 2–3 km from Empire City — not walkable. Reaching either station requires a Grab or short drive. Off-peak drive to KL city centre is 20–35 minutes via Penchala Link or NKVE; peak-hour can add 20–40 minutes.
| Route | Station or road | Realistic time | Walk reality |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRT Kajang Line | Mutiara Damansara MRT | ~20–30 min to KL Sentral once at station | Not walkable from Halo Sunday; Grab or drive (~3 km) to reach the station |
| MRT Putrajaya Line | Tropicana MRT | Connects to KL Sentral via interchange | Not walkable; Grab or drive (~2–3 km) to station |
| Penchala Link / NKVE | — | 20–35 min to KL off-peak; 40–60 min peak | Car-oriented access; reliable except during morning peak toward KLCC |
| Sprint Highway | — | Connects to PJ / Bangsar / Midvalley belt | Good alternative for those working in PJ or Bangsar South |
The honest check: Empire City is in a relatively self-contained pocket of Damansara Perdana. The integrated mall (Empire City Mall), food options and commercial units on-site mean daily errands stay close, but any commute to a KL workplace depends on either a car or a Grab-to-MRT connection. Test your exact morning route before committing. For renters considering a step up in lifestyle corridor, the Damansara Heights rental guide covers the KL-adjacent alternative with denser F&B and office access.
Amenities and what life is like here
Empire City is an integrated development — the mall, food outlets, offices and residential towers are on the same campus. Day-to-day convenience is strong within the podium. Residents who need a broader lifestyle corridor (hospitals, schools, entertainment) use Mutiara Damansara or Kota Damansara nearby.
What is on-site and close by:
- Empire City Mall — the integrated commercial podium attached to the development; grocery options, dining and lifestyle tenants within walking distance for residents
- Damansara Perdana commercial strip — additional food and commercial options within the immediate area
- The Curve / IPC Shopping Centre / Ikea Mutiara Damansara — roughly 5–7 km away, accessible by car in off-peak; the wider retail anchor for the northern PJ / Mutiara Damansara belt
- Hospitals — Tropicana Medical Centre (Kota Damansara) is the closest full private hospital, around 4–5 km / 10–15 min by car off-peak; Sunway Medical Centre (Subang) is the larger tertiary option at roughly 12–15 km / 20–30 min. Confirm the nearest facility for your specific needs.
- Schools — Sri KDU (Kota Damansara) and REAL Schools (Cheras) are within driving distance (~5–8 km), Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park (~7 km). For families, map the actual morning drive from Halo Sunday to the school gate before shortlisting.
- Outdoor and green space — Damansara Perdana is more urban and compact than green-corridor areas like Desa Park City or Kota Damansara; the development's common facilities are the primary outdoor option for residents
The tenant mix at Halo Sunday skews toward young professionals, single renters and couples who want affordable compact-unit access in a north PJ / Damansara pocket without committing to KLCC or Bangsar pricing.
Who Halo Sunday suits — and who should look elsewhere
Halo Sunday fits budget-conscious young professionals or single renters with a car, who want compact affordable studio living inside the Damansara Perdana / Empire City ecosystem. Not a fit if you don't drive, need more than one bedroom, or want a walkable neighbourhood with street-level character.
It fits you if you are
- A single renter or young professional who owns or regularly uses a car or Grab, and wants affordable compact studio accommodation in the Damansara area
- Someone comfortable with an integrated campus lifestyle — mall, dining and amenities on the development podium, not street-level walking
- Budget-oriented: Halo Sunday's compact studios offer one of the lower headline rents in the Damansara Perdana belt
- Working in PJ, Damansara or along the highway corridors to Mutiara Damansara, Bangsar South or Kota Damansara
- Looking for Zero Deposit eligibility on a studio — SPEEDHOME's platform shows ZD-tagged listings concentrated in the studio tier at this tower, so applying on a compact unit is the higher-probability path
Look elsewhere if you are
- Car-free or MRT-dependent: the nearest MRT stations are a Grab or drive away. This is not a transit-first building
- Needing more than one bedroom: the tower is heavily weighted toward compact studios; neighbouring areas offer better size-to-rent ratios for 2-bedroom and above. SPEEDHOME's live count for 2-bedroom+ layouts at this tower is the lowest in the area — search Kota Damansara rentals or Mutiara Damansara rentals for comparable stock
- A family with children: school proximity, space and building mix are not optimised for families; Kota Damansara or Damansara Perdana's broader housing stock suits families better
- Expecting a lively street-level neighbourhood: Empire City is a campus development; there is limited street-level café culture or neighbourhood character outside the podium
Honest drawbacks
Halo Sunday's real drawbacks are the same four things every 2015 single-tower block faces — long lift waits, ageing condition, car-only commute, and mall-podium noise on weekends.
- Lift wait times: 782 units in a single tower creates peak-time pressure on lifts, especially during morning departures and evening returns. Mitigate by visiting the lift bank at your viewing time of day and asking which lift bank serves your floor — higher floors can experience longer waits.
- Building age and condition: completed in 2015, the units and common areas are now over a decade old. Inspect aircon, water heater, electrical fittings and finishes at viewing — quality varies by unit and previous tenancy history.
- Car-dependency: any commute outside the Empire City podium requires a vehicle or Grab. If your work is in the KLCC or Bangsar corridor and you rely on public transport, budget the Grab cost into your daily spend.
- Mall noise and traffic: the Empire City Mall podium and commercial tenants generate traffic and activity, particularly on weekends and event days. Ask for a unit on the non-mall side of the tower if you work shifts or sleep early.
How Halo Sunday compares to nearby areas
Mutiara Damansara offers better MRT access at a higher rent; Kota Damansara offers comparable or lower rent with more space. Halo Sunday's edge is compact affordability within the integrated Empire City campus.
| Area | Rent band | Transit access | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Halo Sunday, Empire City (Damansara Perdana) | Budget-to-mid (compact studios) | Car or Grab to MRT (~2–3 km) | Budget-conscious car owners; compact studio living |
| Mutiara Damansara | Mid-range | MRT Mutiara Damansara (Kajang Line) nearby | MRT commuters who prioritise transit proximity |
| Kota Damansara | Budget-to-mid | Car-dependent; similar highway access | More space per ringgit; families or 2-bedroom+ seekers |
Viewing and scam checklist
At Halo Sunday, the most important viewing steps are: confirm the actual unit condition (not just photos), check lift access and wait times on a weekday, verify parking bay inclusion, pay only to a company account, and insist on a stamped tenancy agreement before any payment.
- Unit condition first: Halo Sunday is a 2015 building. Photos on older listings may not reflect the current state. Check aircon units, water heater, electrical fittings, kitchen condition and any signs of water damage at the viewing — not on trust from photos.
- Lift and access: ask which block entrance and lift serves your unit. During busy periods, wait times can be significant. Visit at a weekday peak time if commute timing is a concern.
- Parking bay: confirm whether a parking bay is included in the rent or priced separately, and inspect the bay allocation before signing.
- Water pressure and plumbing: test pressure in bathrooms and the kitchen at viewing. Older stock can have variation between floors.
- Mobile signal: check your network's coverage in the unit, not only the lobby or common areas.
- Pay to a verified company account: legitimate SPEEDHOME listings route payments through the platform. Do not pay cash-only or send money to an unverified personal account in response to a phone or messaging channel outside the app.
- Stamped tenancy agreement: do not move in without a stamped TA. Stamping is handled via e-Duti Setem on MyTax (mytax.hasil.gov.my). This is your primary legal protection as a tenant.
- Handover photos: document every wall, appliance, fitting and surface before moving in. Acknowledge any existing damage in writing or through the SPEEDHOME app before the tenancy starts.
- Unverified listing channels: if you find a Halo Sunday listing through an unverified social-media listing channel, verify the listing is live on SPEEDHOME or that the landlord can produce a current valid TA before any payment is made.

FAQ
How much is rent at Halo Sunday Empire City?
Compact studios at Halo Sunday start from RM1,400/month indicative for the smallest units, with larger studios and 1-bedroom suites ranging higher. Live SPEEDHOME listings show the current realistic range for the unit you want.
Is Halo Sunday close to the MRT?
No — Halo Sunday is car-or-Grab dependent. The 2–3 km gap to Mutiara Damansara or Tropicana MRT means daily Grab cost should be budgeted into your real commute cost; tenants who don't drive should shortlist Mutiara Damansara instead.
Is Halo Sunday a good place to rent for young professionals?
Yes, if you drive or are comfortable with Grab-to-MRT. Compact studios deliver lower headline rent than most nearby alternatives, and the Empire City Mall podium keeps daily errands convenient. Inspect the unit carefully at viewing — the 2015 stock varies in condition.
What are the downsides of renting at Halo Sunday?
The main drawbacks are the 2–3 km MRT gap, lift pressure in a single 782-unit tower, the building age (completed 2015), and weekend noise from the mall podium. Tenants who don't drive, need more than one bedroom, or have school-age children are usually better served in Kota Damansara or Mutiara Damansara.

Zero-deposit options are available through SPEEDHOME on selected Halo Sunday listings. Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system — it replaces the upfront cash deposit and you remain responsible for the condition of the unit at move-out; it is not a financial guarantee product. Check live listings to confirm which units qualify — not every unit is eligible.
What areas are similar to or cheaper than Halo Sunday near Damansara?
