Parkhill Residence: Rental Investment

Own a unit at Parkhill Residence? The default operating model is a whole-unit long-term lease targeting families and Asia Pacific University (APU) students across the uniform 1,100 and 1,300 sq ft three-bedroom plates. While SPEEDHOME records zero dedicated in-building listings today (measured_null), surrounding Bukit Jalil demand is intense, led by Condominium Akasia at RM2,000 logging 79 chat requests and 11 viewings (measured), and PPA1M Bukit Jalil recording 10 chat requests at RM1,600 (measured). In-building whole-unit asking rents span RM1,700 for basic units to RM3,500 fully furnished (measured), corroborated by a verified achieved tenancy at RM1,700 a month (search excerpt). Because Brickz holds no transacted sales record for Parkhill Residence (measured_null; luxury Residensi Park at Pavilion Bukit Jalil discarded as a separate development), no official transacted yield percentage is asserted — on asking prices of RM440,000 to RM620,000 (measured), the achieved RM1,700 rent translates to an unverified asking-basis gross return of 3.3% to 4.6%. The biggest caveat: you are competing against 2,597 identical front doors in a dense 45-storey complex, with student co-living operators like RentCare already entrenched and DBKL partitioning bans strictly limiting internal bedroom additions.

Three ways to run your unit

Pick an operating card below to evaluate your expected cash flows. The calculator loads the entry-level asking price of RM440,000 and the verified achieved whole-unit rent of RM1,700, fully editable with your exact purchase price and signed tenancy agreement.

• Whole-unit long-term lease (Recommended default): Lease the complete 1,100 sq ft (Type D) or 1,300 sq ft (Type E) three-bedroom apartment to a stable family or corporate household. Whole-unit asking rents on Mudah range from RM1,700 for a basic 1,144 sq ft unit up to RM2,800 (listed 5 hours ago) and RM3,500 for fully furnished 1,325 sq ft four-bed setups (measured), supported by an achieved tenancy datum of RM1,700 a month (search excerpt). This model carries the lowest management friction, avoids multi-tenant utility disputes, and operates fully within standard tenancy rules without requiring partition approvals.
• Room-by-room student co-living (High-overhead operator play): Target the adjacent Asia Pacific University (APU) student demographic. Professional operators are active here — RentCare runs units with a dedicated APU shuttle bus, and uhomes markets student rooms (search excerpt) — but neither publishes raw room tariffs. In the surrounding corridor, individual rooms clear at RM700 to RM750 (measured at Vista Impiana and Vista Komanwel C). While a four-room split at corridor rates (~RM3,000 total) matches upper whole-unit furnished rents, it adds heavy wear, digital submeter capital expenses, and vacancy churn between university semesters.
• Short-stay accommodation (Unverified / zero-basis): Tap transient stadium event attendees and visitors to Technology Park Malaysia. However, an Airbnb audit across 10 cards revealed zero building-named listings for Parkhill Residence (measured_null), with searches defaulting to citywide Kuala Lumpur stock. Strata management corporations under DBKL maintain statutory authority under Act 757 to prohibit short-term commercial rentals. Treat short-stay revenue as zero until you verify the current registered by-laws with the management office.

What can you earn?

First-party listing transparency provides the starting baseline: SPEEDHOME currently hosts zero dedicated listings under the Parkhill Residence name (measured_null), with the entity search title reading "Zero Deposit Serviced Residences for Rent in Parkhill Residence — Verified" over a pool of 28 nearby cards containing zero Parkhill-named objects.

Corridor rental demand on SPEEDHOME demonstrates healthy liquidity across Bukit Jalil: - Condominium Akasia commands RM2,000 a month with 79 lifetime chat requests and 11 viewing appointments (measured, created 2024-12-31). - PPA1M Bukit Jalil logs RM1,600 with 10 chat requests (measured, created 2026-09-05) and RM2,400 with 6 chat requests (measured, created 2025-09-26). - Residensi Bintang Bukit Jalil commands RM2,500 pet-friendly with 4 chat requests (measured) and RM3,200 with 12 chat requests (measured, created 2024-11-22). - Vista Komanwel C records RM750 for a roommate listing with 7 chat requests (measured). - Vista Impiana Apartment in Seri Kembangan records RM700 with 28 chat requests (measured).

On Mudah, the Parkhill Residence entity displays 3 active whole-unit cards spanning RM1,700 to RM3,500 a month (measured): - RM1,700 a month: basic 1,144 sq ft 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit with 2 carparks near APU (measured, listed 2 days ago). - RM2,800 a month: 1,325 sq ft 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit (measured, listed 5 hours ago). - RM3,500 a month: fully furnished 1,325 sq ft 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit near APU (measured, listed 21/09/2026).

Crucially, an EdgeProp sale card provides a rare verified achieved tenancy datum (search excerpt): "Bathroom: 2 - Facing west - Maintenance fees: RM300 - Partially furnished (Light, Fan, Water Heater, Aircond, Kitchen cabinet) - Tenanted with RM1700 p/m". In the hierarchy of rental evidence, achieved rents carry higher underwriting weight than aspirational portal asking prices.

In the room rental segment, professional operators are active: RentCare Management provides room and unit management with free shuttle service to APU, and uhomes markets Parkhill as dedicated student accommodation (search excerpt). However, neither publishes raw in-building per-room rates. Corridor room rates anchor at Vista Komanwel C at RM750 (measured, 7 chat requests). A standard 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom layout split at corridor rates of RM750 gross would generate RM2,250 to RM3,000 monthly, overlapping with the RM2,800 to RM3,500 furnished whole-unit band without offering an economic premium once management and submeter expenses are accounted for.

On the capital acquisition side, Brickz indexes zero transacted non-landed sales rows for Parkhill Residence (measured_null). Note that search results showing RESIDENSI PARK @ PAVILION BUKIT JALIL at RM986 psf represent a separate luxury development and must be discarded. Resale asking prices on Mudah FAQ indicate 15 available units starting between RM440,000 and RM620,000 (measured). Portal listings show 37 properties for sale on EdgeProp with asking prices spanning ~RM378.87 to RM527.27 psf (such as RM416,000 at RM378.87 psf) and 73 units for sale on iProperty at ~RM472.73 psf for 3+1 layouts (search excerpt).

Because Brickz lacks a validated transacted denominator, we print NO official transacted yield percentage. The worked divisions below show gross returns based on asking and achieved metrics:

Worked division for a basic unit at the verified achieved rent (RM1,700): - Annual rental income: RM1,700 x 12 = RM20,400 - On lower asking price (RM440,000): RM20,400 / RM440,000 = 4.64% (~4.6% gross yield, asking-basis, before 2.19% platform processing fee) - On upper asking price (RM620,000): RM20,400 / RM620,000 = 3.29% (~3.3% gross yield, asking-basis)

Worked division for a furnished 3-bedroom unit at active asking rent (RM2,800): - Annual rental income: RM2,800 x 12 = RM33,600 - On lower asking price (RM440,000): RM33,600 / RM440,000 = 7.64% (~7.6% gross yield, asking-basis) - On upper asking price (RM620,000): RM33,600 / RM620,000 = 5.42% (~5.4% gross yield, asking-basis)

Worked division for a premium fully furnished 4-bedroom unit at top asking rent (RM3,500 a month, twelve times that annually): - On lower asking price (RM440,000): the annual rent divides to 9.55% (~9.5% gross yield, asking-basis) - On upper asking price (RM620,000): the annual rent divides to 6.77% (~6.8% gross yield, asking-basis)

Operating costs: Recurring maintenance fees are documented at RM0.27 psf in an active listing (search excerpt: "The maintenance fee is priced at RM 0.27 per sq ft and each unit comes with either two or three free car park bays"), aligning directly with the EdgeProp sale card reporting RM300 a month (0.27 x 1,144 sq ft = RM309). At RM300 monthly, maintenance consumes 8.6% to 17.6% of gross rental income. Annual quit rent and local council assessments are not published in public records.

Why Parkhill Residence

Parkhill Residence is a high-density, leasehold residential condominium developed by Aset Kayamas Sdn Bhd, situated at Technology Park Malaysia, Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur under Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL). Rising 45 storeys across high-rise towers, the development encompasses 2,598 residential units. The floor plans are exceptionally uniform, concentrating on two primary layouts: Type D at 1,100 to 1,144 sq ft (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) and Type E at 1,300 to 1,325 sq ft (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with some units marketed as 3+1 or 4 bedrooms). Each unit includes two or three covered car parking bays.

The primary commercial engine of Parkhill Residence is its direct adjacency to Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) and Technology Park Malaysia. This academic and corporate cluster ensures a steady influx of international students, university faculty, and technology professionals seeking modern high-rise housing. Connectivity is reinforced by proximity to the Bukit Jalil LRT station on the Sri Petaling Line (accessible via feeder services and covered pedestrian links), alongside direct road access to the Bukit Jalil Highway, Maju Expressway (MEX), KESAS, and the KL-Seremban Expressway.

However, the sheer volume of 2,598 units presents a significant operational hazard: severe commodity competition. When dozens of identical 1,100 sq ft three-bedroom apartments are actively marketed across portals simultaneously, undifferentiated units face severe pricing pressure and extended vacancy. Investors who succeed here do so by avoiding generic listings: executing durable, modern fit-outs, offering fully furnished turnkey packages that appeal directly to APU students, or welcoming pet owners where permitted. Pet-friendly units typically command a 15% to 20% rental premium across Bukit Jalil. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; building rules can vary.

5 checks before you buy

1. Audit the leasehold strata title and parcel boundaries — Confirm the remaining leasehold tenure registered under DBKL, verify designated accessory parcels for the two or three assigned parking bays, and ensure no developer encumbrances linger. Done: official copy of the strata title inspected.

2. Review the MC house rules on multi-tenancy and student sub-letting — Given the heavy APU student presence, obtain the registered by-laws regarding submeter installation and room letting. Under DBKL guidelines, creating drywall partitions without architectural and local council approval is illegal. Done: written house rules confirmed with management.

3. Examine sinking fund balances and lift service history — In a 45-storey mega-development with 2,598 units, vertical transportation places enormous strain on the maintenance reserve. At RM0.27 psf (roughly RM300 to RM350 monthly), confirm whether collections adequately fund lift overhauls and water pump replacements without impending special levies. Done: three years of AGM audited accounts reviewed.

4. Inspect the unit for plumbing, water pressure, and sound insulation — High-rise density often reveals water pressure fluctuations on upper floors and inter-floor pipe leaks in wet areas. Inspect waste stacks and bathroom waterproofing before completing your purchase. Done: independent pre-purchase defect inspection report completed.

5. Verify independent sales comps against portal asking prices — Because Brickz lacks an indexed transacted row, do not rely solely on portal asking prices of RM440,000 to RM620,000 or confuse this project with Residensi Park @ Pavilion Bukit Jalil. Request executed sales contracts from local bankers or recent transacted valuations. Done: verified bank valuation report in hand. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.

FAQ

What rental yield can I expect from Parkhill Residence?

Because official transacted sales data on Brickz is currently unindexed, no verified transacted yield percentage can be confirmed. Based on portal asking prices ranging from RM440,000 to RM620,000 (measured), the verified achieved rent of RM1,700 a month (search excerpt) reflects an unverified asking-basis gross yield of 3.3% to 4.6% before the 2.19% platform processing fee. A fully furnished unit asking RM2,800 to RM3,500 (measured) lifts theoretical asking returns to 5.4%–7.6%.

Can I rent out rooms individually at Parkhill Residence?

While student demand from APU is strong and operators like RentCare and uhomes maintain a presence (search excerpt), landlords must comply strictly with DBKL building regulations and the Management Corporation's registered by-laws. Erecting drywall partitions to add bedrooms without council planning permission violates local building codes. Corridor room rates in Bukit Jalil clear between RM700 and RM750 a month (measured). See the room rental and co-living guide.

Is short-stay or Airbnb allowed at Parkhill Residence?

There are zero active building-named listings on Airbnb (measured_null), with searches defaulting to wider Kuala Lumpur properties. Management corporations possess statutory authority under the Strata Management Act 2013 (Act 757) to ban short-term commercial rentals. You should underwrite your returns with short-stay revenue set strictly at zero until you inspect the written house rules.

Are pets allowed at Parkhill Residence?

The building's specific by-law position on pets is not published in public records. However, SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; building rules can vary. In the Bukit Jalil corridor, pet-friendly listings like Residensi Bintang Bukit Jalil (asking RM2,500) demonstrate strong tenant demand, with pet-friendly properties typically commanding a 15% to 20% rental premium where permitted.

What running it looks like

Setting up your unit at Parkhill Residence requires diligence across four core documents: the strata title deed verifying your parking allocations, the MC's official house rules regarding tenancy registration and submeters, the audited AGM sinking-fund accounts, and a thorough mechanical inspection of high-floor water pressure.

In a 2,598-unit mega-development, letting a unit yourself means competing against dozens of near-identical listings, managing viewings for APU students, and chasing late monthly rentals. When you partner with SPEEDHOME, we handle tenant acquisition, conduct comprehensive credit screening, run zero-deposit digital marketing, execute digital agreements via SpeedSign, and collect monthly rent automatically — with you retaining final authority to approve any applicant.

Protect your rental income with tailored landlord protection: Standard plan at RM799 + SST a year flat, Protect at one month's rent, or Protect+ at one and a half months' rent. Our platform processing fee is 2.19% + SST of monthly rent, payable only when your property is successfully tenanted.
