The Place, Cyberjaya: Rental Investment

Own a duplex suite at The Place (or buying one)? Run it whole-unit. The measured card: RM1,350 a month for a 549 sqft fully furnished duplex with parking, against a RM300,000 sale ask — about 5.4% a year gross, both figures asking-side from search captures, no registry file behind them. Limkokwing at the doorstep keeps small-suite demand renewable; the suites have no split physics, and short-stay is the letter you do not have. The identity items are real here: portals disagree on the building's age and unit count, and 69 retail lots share the parcel.

Three ways to run your unit

Pick a model card, tell the tool which suite you own, then put in your own numbers. The answer updates as you type, and the charts show the trade-offs.

What can you earn?

The measured pair, read on 11 Oct 2026: RM1,350 for the 549 sqft duplex (2-bed layout on the card, fully furnished, parking included) and RM300,000 asked for a 721 sqft suite. Worked out: RM1,350 x 12 = RM16,200 divided by RM300,000 = 5.4% a year gross. One pair, both ask-side — hold it loosely and price your own suite on a dated comparable before you commit.

Two identity items shape the buy. First, the record conflicts: portal listing fields say built 2014 (an early-Cyberjaya-wave building), Avaland's milestones say 2015, and the unit count reads 259 in one record and 532 in another. We carry the developer-lineage record in the table below; your title document settles your parcel. Second, this is a mixed-use parcel — 69 commercial lots inside the same scheme — so your suite's title category is a real question that decides what an approved tenancy looks like.

Rooms: not a market here. Each suite is one compact duplex — one room on the plan over two levels — so the only "room" question is whether two sharers may occupy one suite, and that lives or dies on the management's written position on multi-tenancy. No in-building room rate has been measured. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly, and pet-friendly rooms earn about 15-20% more where they exist.

Short-stay: zero building-named units today. The corridor sells duplex nights at about RM690-760 for five — proof the product type works in Cyberjaya, not permission for your tower. This postcode's heavy student and short-stay history is exactly why managements here write strict by-laws; the letter decides.

The record: what the sources say

Developer lineage: Avaland's milestones record The Place as completed through The Place Properties Sdn Bhd under the MCT Berhad group; Avaland's portfolio lists it as a completed mixed-use development directly adjacent to Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, with Cyberjaya City Centre MRT (Putrajaya Line) as area connectivity — rail is nearby, not doorstep, until you verify the walk.

The parcel sits in Sepang district under Majlis Perbandaran Sepang (MPSepang) — the council whose written answer gates any renovation or letting model here.

Which model is even on the table?

The operating model is set by the parcel's actual layout and the management's written position on short-stay, multi-tenancy and renovation — not by bedroom count. Get the MC letter first; the model table follows.

A campus at the doorstep keeps demand steady and renewable each intake — and it is the same adjacency that has pushed heavy student and short-stay usage through buildings like this one, which is why managements here write strict by-laws. Your neighbour's informality is not your permission. If the sharing gate clears, the room rental and co-living guide is the next read. The tenant side of the postcode is covered in the Cyberjaya rooms-for-rent guide.

What fit-out for a 530-square-foot duplex?

In a suite this small, the fit-out decision is mostly what NOT to build: durable flooring and washable finishes that survive student turnover, a proper bed and desk on the sleeping level, a sofa bed only if the written model allows a second occupant, and nothing structural — no mezzanines, no extra bathrooms, no partitions touching the duplex structure. A SPEEDRENO fit-out scopes exactly that with a skip list, so capital follows condition and the allowed model instead of imagination. Your running costs sit in the calculator's editable field — nothing is published, so enter your statement's numbers.

5 checks before you buy

1. Get the real land title document — including the title category, because 69 commercial lots share this scheme. Done: you hold the title copy.

2. Get the management's rules in writing — short-stay, a second occupant, pets. One letter answers all three. Done: you have the letter.

3. Get the real running costs — mixed-use schemes carry shared services whose costs move differently; the latest statements decide. Done: a number on paper. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.

4. Show your renovation plan to MPSepang before you sign anything. Selangor is not KL — no blanket partition ban is named — but a compact duplex leaves no room for walls anyway, and approvals still apply. Done: the council tells you in writing.

5. Until checks 1 and 2 are done, buy nothing you cannot undo. Furniture yes, structure no — a reversible SPEEDRENO scope converts back in a day.

FAQ

Is The Place Cyberjaya a room-rental investment?

Not in the classic sense: 190 compact duplex suites, each already a small whole unit — not a three-bedroom apartment you can split. The only "room" question is whether two sharers may occupy one suite, decided by the management's written position plus an honest look at roughly 530 square feet. The tenant-side view of the same suites is The Place @ Cyberjaya.

What yield does The Place give?

About 5.4% a year gross on the measured pair — RM1,350 rent over a RM300,000 sale ask. Both figures are asking-side search captures with no registry file behind them, and running costs are not published. Your real return is lower; run your own numbers in the calculator above.

Who actually rents these duplex suites?

Limkokwing's campus is directly adjacent, so student demand is structural, and Cyberjaya's young workforce takes the rest. The public record shows heavy student rental usage historically — but no current rents beyond the one card, so verify demand with dated comparables, not history.

Can an owner run short stay at The Place?

Zero building-named short-stay units exist today, and this postcode's history makes managements stricter, not looser. Only the current written by-law text settles it — until then, short stay is a stop rule, not a plan.

Do the 69 retail lots matter to an apartment owner?

Twice. Your suite's per-parcel title category is a diligence item in a mixed-use scheme, and shared services carry their own cost statements — read them before underwriting, not after.

Are pets allowed at The Place?

The building's rules are not public. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — and pet-friendly rooms earn about 15-20% more. The offer is SPEEDHOME policy; building rules can vary.

What running it looks like

Setup is the two documents: title (category checked) and the MC letter. The work is one tenant whole-unit — a Limkokwing student or a young Cyberjaya worker — with the cycle of one listing, viewings, a stamped tenancy agreement, then rent day. Compact units beside a campus change tenants more often than family homes, and every change is a vacancy clock, a re-listing and a handover — durable finishes and zero-deposit screening are how you win that rhythm. SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the screening; you approve the tenant before the agreement is signed.

Ready? List your unit with SPEEDHOME — zero deposit, we run the viewings, you approve the tenant.

All figures are asking rents and prices read on 11 Oct 2026 from search captures with quoted card text (no registry file exists for the project). Running costs are not published. More: the landlord investment decision guide.
