What is Sky Awani 3 Residence?
Sky Awani 3 Residence is a 3-block, 52-storey leasehold condominium in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, developed by SkyWorld Development Sdn Bhd, with 1,905 units and a dominant 3-bedroom/800 sq ft layout — SPEEDHOME lists units here alongside 30,000+ other managed Malaysian tenancy agreements. If you searched the generic term "Sky Awani," this is almost certainly the project you mean — the numbered sibling carrying the search demand here. Sky Awani 2, 4 and 6 are separate buildings elsewhere in Setapak/Sentul; check the exact building name on your listing if you meant one of those.
The building sits on Jalan Santuari 2, off Jalan Genting Klang, 53200 Kuala Lumpur, on a leasehold site of ~4.55 acres. Per public listing sources, the dominant unit is a 3BR/2BA layout of roughly 800 sq ft — a near-single unit-type project per PropertyGuru, so check the live filter first if you need a different size.

| Building fact | What is publicly stated (per listing sources) | How to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | SkyWorld Development Sdn Bhd (formerly NTP World Development) | Confirm with the SPA or developer's sales office |
| Tenure | Leasehold, ~4.55 acres | Ask the JMB for the title type on the SPA |
| Structure | 3 blocks, 52 storeys, 1,905 units total | Cross-check the developer's project brochure |
| Dominant layout | 3-bedroom / 2-bathroom, ~800 sq ft | Check live listings for current layouts |
| Completion | 2021 per RUMAWIP portal listing (hedge, not title-verified) | Confirm handover date with management |
| Facilities | Splash kids' pool, jacuzzi, jogging path, lounge, indoor siesta lounge, kids' nursery, perimeter fencing, 8 levels podium/basement parking, 24-hour security | Walk the building at viewing — not always in service |
The honest commute: not a walk-to-LRT building
Sky Awani 3 Residence is roughly 3.5km from LRT Wangsa Maju, 3.8km from LRT Sri Rampai, and 5.2km from LRT Setiawangsa — a drive-or-e-hail commute, not a walkable one. One listing cites an approximate 8-minute drive to Sri Rampai LRT; treat that as a car/e-hail leg only and test it at your real travel hour, since Genting Klang and DUKE Highway traffic changes the picture at peak times.
Road access runs via Jalan 4/51F to Jalan Genting Klang, then DUKE Highway or MRR2. If your plan depends on walking to rail, budget for a car, motorcycle, or regular e-hail spend instead.
| Reference point | Distance | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| LRT Wangsa Maju | ~3.5km | Drive/e-hail |
| LRT Sri Rampai | ~3.8km (~8-min drive per one listing) | Drive/e-hail |
| LRT Setiawangsa | ~5.2km | Drive/e-hail |
| AEON Wangsa Maju (Alpha Angle) | ~5-min drive | Drive |
| Setapak Central Mall | ~5-min drive | Drive |
A worked example: monthly cost with and without Zero Deposit
SPEEDHOME/portal listings for this corridor typically range roughly RM700–RM2,000+/month depending on floor and view — check the live SPEEDHOME filter for current asking rents, not any figure printed here. As an illustration only, take a mid-range asking rent of RM1,400/month, Zero Deposit-eligible:
- Monthly rent: RM1,400
- Upfront with Zero Deposit: RM1,400 first month + utility transfer fees, no cash security deposit
- Without Zero Deposit, a conventional 2-month deposit + 0.5-month utility deposit adds roughly RM3,500 upfront (2.5 × RM1,400)
- Difference: roughly RM3,500 tied up at move-in, depending on eligibility

How SPEEDHOME works at Sky Awani 3 Residence
SPEEDHOME listings here are individually verified before going live, and SPEEDHOME has had zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026; selected listings carry Zero Deposit, but not every unit qualifies, and eligibility depends on the listing and screening outcome. Zero Deposit is SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system — not a financial guarantee product — that replaces the upfront cash security deposit, so an eligible tenant moves in without tying up that cash.
For landlords, SPEEDHOME's managed model handles tenant screening, tenancy-agreement preparation, and rent collection end to end. SPEEDHOME platform data (most recent measured period, 2026): roughly 30% of applicants are rejected at screening before any agreement is signed, and roughly 70% of managed tenants pay on or before the due date (87% within 3 days). The full-service landlord fee is 2.19% of monthly rent, payable only once a unit is tenanted. See List with SPEEDHOME (landlords) for the landlord view.
Who Sky Awani 3 Residence fits — and who should avoid it
It fits tenants who already own a car or are comfortable with a regular Grab/e-hail leg to Wangsa Maju or Sri Rampai LRT, want a large-scale condo with a full facility set in the Setapak corridor, and are fine with the single dominant 3-bedroom/800 sq ft layout. It does not fit everyone searching "Sky Awani" — check which numbered sibling you actually mean.
- Fits — tenants who've priced in a car/e-hail commute instead of walk-to-LRT; households wanting a large 3BR unit with pool, jogging path and 24-hour security; tenants wanting a live filtered listing with Zero Deposit on selected units.
- Skip if — you need true walk-to-LRT access (honest distance here is 3.5km+); you need a unit size outside the ~800 sq ft 3BR format; you meant a different numbered Sky Awani project (2, 4, or 6).
