Own a unit at The Wharf Residence? The default operating model is whole-unit long-term leasing on an 818 sq ft two-bedroom layout, with short-stay hosting as a proven secondary upside. SPEEDHOME's own board holds two dedicated long-tenured listings backed by 563 lifetime chat requests and 77 viewing appointments (measured) — anchored by a pet-friendly two-bedroom card at RM1,500 a month with 293 chat requests and a studio card at RM1,700 a month with 270 chat requests. Across an open Mudah dedicated entity of seven listings, two-bedroom units command RM1,600 to RM1,800 a month (measured) while larger 3+1 bedroom layouts reach RM1,750 to RM2,000 a month (measured). Against a NAPIC-derived transacted median of RM325,000 across 21 real transactions (RM392 psf, search excerpt; direct Brickz project page 404), gross yields on two-bedroom units span 5.5% to 6.6% (asking-basis on NAPIC median, derived — before the 2.19% platform fee), climbing to 7.1% to 8.0% (asking-basis) on recent layout-specific transaction medians of ~RM330 psf (~RM270,000, search excerpt). The biggest caveats: Brickz direct transaction records remain unindexed, in-building room lettings are unmeasured, studio units counter-intuitively outrent unfurnished two-bedroom units due to furnishing tier, and short-stay hosting requires strict compliance with Joint Management Body (JMB) bylaws.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick an operating model card below and evaluate your returns in the calculator. The rent field loads RM1,600 — the central two-bedroom mode on open portals, flanked by our RM1,500 own-board anchor — while the purchase field remains yours to fill against your actual title, guided by the indicative RM325,000 NAPIC transacted median (search excerpt).
- Whole-unit residential let (The proven demand default) — Let the entire 818 to 860 sq ft two-bedroom apartment on a 12-month zero-deposit agreement. On SPEEDHOME, a dedicated pet-friendly two-bedroom listing at RM1,500 a month has generated 293 chat requests and 38 viewing appointments over 3.4 years (measured). Across seven active Mudah listings, two-bedroom asking rents span RM1,600 to RM1,800 a month (measured), while 3+1 bedroom units (1,204 to 1,894 sq ft) command RM1,750 to RM2,000 a month at the decked-out tier (measured). This model captures steady demand from young couples and small working families in Puchong without requiring structural layout alterations.
- Room-by-room co-living rental (Unmeasured in-building) — Letting bedrooms individually to working professionals. No dedicated in-building room rental listings are currently measured at The Wharf Residence (measured_null). In the surrounding corridor, room cards at older developments like Koi Tropika clear at RM750 to RM950 a month for pet-friendly rooms (measured, corridor comp). Carving an 818 sq ft two-bedroom apartment into separate room tenancies introduces heavy capex for air-conditioning submeters, smart locks, and weekly housekeeping. Because whole-unit leases already achieve RM1,500 to RM1,800 a month with zero shared-utility friction, single-room letting adds operational complexity without a verified profit spread.
- Short-stay and homestay letting (Proven in-building upside) — Unlike many residential towers where short stays are entirely unproven, The Wharf Residence hosts active, established Airbnb operators (measured). Two building-named listings operate on-site: a lake-view family suite accommodating 7 guests at RM852 for five nights (~RM170 a night, measured) backed by 147 reviews, and a home-style unit at RM1,262 for five nights (~RM252 a night, measured) with 18 reviews. At ~RM170 a night, achieving just 10 occupied nights a month gross matches the RM1,700 monthly long-term ask. However, short-stay operators face platform commissions (15% to 20%), laundry turnovers, and statutory restrictions under the Strata Management Act 2013 where the JMB/MC can enact house-rule prohibitions and levy fines up to RM200 per violation.

What can you earn?
First-party demand on SPEEDHOME establishes The Wharf Residence as a high-enquiry residential anchor in Taman Tasik Prima. Across two dedicated long-lived platform cards (entity title "2 Zero Deposit Condos for Rent in The Wharf Residence · 45 nearby"), the board captures 563 cumulative chat requests and 77 viewing appointments (measured): - RM1,500 a month: 2 bedrooms, pet-friendly, listed 11 May 2023 (Jalan Tasik Prima 6/2) — logged 293 chat requests and 38 viewing appointments over 3.4 years (measured). - RM1,700 a month (Studio): Fully furnished studio, listed 15 June 2020 — logged 270 chat requests and 39 viewing appointments over 6.3 years (measured).
The furnish-inversion dynamic: The studio listing at RM1,700 outrents the two-bedroom unit at RM1,500 by RM200 a month. This is not a market error; it is a fit-and-finish tier effect recorded verbatim from the board. The studio was leased as a turnkey, fully furnished package commanding premium rent from solo professionals, whereas the two-bedroom listing was partially furnished. For investors, this proves that furnishing quality directly dictates rental pricing power in this building.
On open portals, an active seven-card dedicated entity on Mudah reveals a consistent asking ladder (measured): - 2-bedroom units (818–860 sq ft): RM1,600 to RM1,800 a month (measured across 3 listings). - 3+1 bedroom units (1,204–1,894 sq ft): RM1,750 to RM2,000 a month at the decked-out tier (measured across 4 listings).
The wider Puchong corridor sets the context. On SPEEDHOME's nearby board, neighbouring developments command substantial enquiry volume: Vistaria Apartment at RM1,000 pet-friendly (461 chat requests, measured), Nilam Puri at RM1,400 pet-friendly (174 chat requests, measured), Vista Millennium at RM1,500 pet-friendly (161 chat requests, measured), and Koi Prima at RM1,450 to RM1,600 (114–130 chat requests, measured). At RM1,500 to RM1,600, The Wharf Residence acts as the modern value anchor for Taman Tasik Prima.
Transacted purchase values reflect an unindexed spot on direct public records: - Brickz project page: Renders a 404 error on the direct project URL path, although the scheme is indexed in the general Puchong area directory (Page 10, search snippet). - NAPIC transaction aggregate (NewProjek): Records 21 real transactions with a median price of RM325,000 and a median rate of RM392 psf (search excerpt, labelled). - EdgeProp transacted range: Sells between RM342 and RM446 psf with a median of RM390 psf (search excerpt). - Layout-specific 2-bedroom median (iRumah): For the standard 818 sq ft two-bedroom layout, recent transactions record a median around ~RM330 psf, translating to approximately ~RM270,000 (search excerpt). - 3+1 bedroom purchase asking: Larger 1,204 to 1,894 sq ft units list on secondary portals from ~RM500,000+ (search excerpt).
Worked gross rental yield calculations across the measured rent spectrum (before the 2.19% SPEEDHOME platform processing fee): - On the NAPIC aggregator median of RM325,000 (search excerpt): - Baseline rent of RM1,500: RM1,500 x 12 = RM18,000 / RM325,000 = 5.5% (asking-basis on NAPIC median, gross) - Portal mode rent of RM1,600: RM1,600 x 12 = RM19,200 / RM325,000 = 5.9% (asking-basis on NAPIC median, gross) - Upper 2-bed ask of RM1,800: RM1,800 x 12 = RM21,600 / RM325,000 = 6.6% (asking-basis on NAPIC median, gross) - Studio ask of RM1,700: RM1,700 x 12 = RM20,400 / RM325,000 = 6.3% (asking-basis on NAPIC median, gross) - On the 818 sq ft layout-specific transacted basis (~RM270,000 at ~RM330 psf, search excerpt): - Rent of RM1,600: RM19,200 / RM270,000 = 7.1% (asking-basis, derived) - Rent of RM1,800: RM21,600 / RM270,000 = 8.0% (asking-basis, derived) - On 3+1 bedroom units (~RM500,000 asking floor, search excerpt): - Rent of RM1,750: RM1,750 x 12 = RM21,000 / RM500,000 = 4.2% (asking-basis, derived) - Rent of RM2,000: RM2,000 x 12 = RM24,000 / RM500,000 = 4.8% (asking-basis, derived)

Why The Wharf Residence
The Wharf Residence is a leasehold high-rise residential development completed in 2014 by Symphony Life Berhad (formerly Bolton Berhad), situated along Jalan Tasik Prima 6/2 in Taman Tasik Prima, Puchong, under Majlis Bandaraya Subang Jaya (MBSJ). The residential enclave comprises 1,002 serviced apartment units distributed across three 28-storey towers (Towers 8, 18, and 28), integrated into a 15-acre commercial master plan featuring The Wharf retail mall and BizWalk commercial offices.
The development's floor plate splits sharply into two distinct investment categories: - Two-bedroom compact layouts (818 to 860 sq ft): 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This is the project's primary rental workhorse, offering the highest capital efficiency, the lowest total ticket entry (~RM270,000 to RM325,000), and rapid leasing turnaround. - Three-plus-one bedroom family suites (1,204 to 1,894 sq ft): 3+1 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms, featuring an external storage room on the same floor. While spacious, these units require a substantially higher acquisition ticket (~RM500,000+) but rent for only RM1,750 to RM2,000 a month, depressing gross yields to 4.2%–4.8%.
Taman Tasik Prima's geographic appeal centres on its self-contained 200-acre lake environment, proximity to hypermarkets (Lotus's Bukit Puchong and HeroMarket), and direct road links to the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) and ELITE Highway. Public transport connectivity connects via feeder buses to the Puchong Prima LRT station on the Sri Petaling Line, approximately 3.5 km away. For comprehensive neighbourhood metrics, consult the Puchong condo guide.

Is Airbnb or short-stay permitted at The Wharf Residence?

However, under the Strata Management Act 2013 and the Federal Court precedent in Innab Salil v Verve Suites Mont' Kiara, the JMB/MC holds statutory power to prohibit short-term rentals and levy fines up to RM200 per infringement. Always obtain current written house rules before investing in a short-stay fit-out; consult our Airbnb versus long-term rental guide.

Official JMB/MC building by-laws on pets are not published in public directories.
