Tiara Imperio Residence is a freehold mixed SOHO + retail project at Jalan Ilmiah, Taman Universiti, Kajang, in the MP Kajang municipality (Selangor). The compact studio / 2-bed unit mix and the UKM / education-corridor location make it a tenant-lodger rather than family-tenancy stock; for an owner-investor, whole-unit long-term letting to a single working tenant or student household is the default model, with room and short-stay options gated on the management corporation's per-building by-laws.
What is known about Tiara Imperio Residence
Public project records and the nuprop.my, PropertyGuru, Mudah, KLEMS and KLIA2.info KTM Komuter UKM references identify Tiara Imperio Residence as a freehold mixed SOHO + retail development at Jalan Ilmiah / Persiaran Ilmu, Taman Universiti, Kajang, with 808 residential units and 24 retail units, compact studio and 2-bedroom unit formats, in the MPKj (Kajang) jurisdiction. The Kajang Municipal Council is the local authority. The project is positioned in the Bangi / Kajang education corridor — UKM, KLEMS, UniRazak and other institutions are within the catchment — and is reachable via the KTM Komuter UKM station on the Batu Caves-Tampin / KTM Komuter line, but is not a central-KL or direct-MRT transit play. The nuprop.my project record is the primary project source; the PropertyGuru building profile, Mudah listing data, KLEMS contact record and KLIA2.info KTM Komuter UKM station reference cross-check the unit count, the location, the KTM transit access and the Selangor jurisdiction.

Tiara Imperio Residence project specific details
The Tiara Imperio Residence project facts (drawn from the SPEEDHOME operator DD pass dated 2026-07-24 and the developer's public project record). The primary fact anchor is building-public-facts-tiara-imperio-residence-2026-07-24 from facts.yaml.
- Developer: MKH Berhad.
- Area: kajang.
- PBT jurisdiction: MP Kajang (MPKj) (MP Kajang).
- Approved unit mix: studio / 350 sqft; 2-bed / 550 sqft; 2-bed / 650 sqft.
- Operating-model default: whole-unit long-term is the default per the building-investor-operator family contract.
The current Tiara Imperio Residence rent, dated per-unit title category, and per-MC by-law text are NOT publicly available and must be obtained from the management office. The MP Kajang (MPKj) jurisdiction is the practical anchor for any viewing or management contact. The approved unit mix and the developer record set the basis for the SPEEDRENO fit-out capex reference; a 2-bed / 550 sqft unit in Tiara Imperio Residence has the lean/premium capex range shown in the [Calculator] section below.
For the building-specific SPEEDRENO fit-out capex on a Tiara Imperio Residence unit, run the shared renovation ROI calculator below. The chart marks a higher-spend scenario as dominated when it produces no additional economic NOI.
Why a compact SOHO needs a disciplined verdict
A studio / 2-bed SOHO label does not prove that a multi-tenant or short-stay layout is workable after furniture, privacy, storage and common-area use are tested. The compact format can be operated as one tenant-household without reconfiguration. A room model assumes partition or separate sleeping zones that the compact format does not natively support. No building-specific room premium is claimed here.
Three checks carry the verdict. First, compare the actual parcel to the approved layout. Second, get the MC by-law and COB filing position on multi-tenancy, short stay, pets and submeters. Third, confirm the individual title and obtain written management approval before any fit-out. MP Kajang (MPKj) is the local authority, and the https://www.mpkj.gov.my/ is the practical anchor; that does not make a generic partition or short-stay claim safe.
Operating model verdict
For Tiara Imperio Residence, the three operating models stack up as follows on a building-specific evidence basis:
- Whole-unit long-term — the default. Use a reversible SPEEDRENO scope only where the calculator shows positive marginal return against a dated comparable; no rent uplift is assumed.
- Room rental / co-living — not natively supported on a 350-650 sqft SOHO footprint without a partition that requires alteration approval. If the MC by-law text permits subletting of the existing approved unit, treat the gross yield uplift as conditional and verify against the management's written stance.
- Short-stay / Airbnb — nightly bookings from 1-7 days. The Kajang / UKM-corridor market includes active short-stay operators, but per-MC by-laws still control. Most MP Kajang MCs prohibit short-stay under their by-laws. The SPEEDRENO fit-out for short-stay is a deeper capex (furniture, smart-lock, linen storage). The downside is regulatory — a single MC complaint can shut the model down.
For Tiara Imperio Residence in kajang, the evidence-bound verdict is whole-unit long-term as the default. Room rental is conditional on the MC's pet + multi-tenancy stance. Short-stay is conditional on the by-law text. The shared calculator above lets the landlord plug in dated building-specific rent and the SPEEDRENO fit-out capex to see the marginal return at each scenario.
Costs and workload to model
Use actual figures for purchase, fees, furniture, annual charges and vacancy; do not freeze a building-wide rent or yield. Renovation belongs in the yield denominator. Whole-unit letting has the fewest operational events. Room rental needs separate applicant screening, agreements, collections and common-area standards. Short stay needs cleaning, guest support and actual operator/platform costs.
| Model | What the owner enters | Default result |
|---|---|---|
| Whole unit | Current comparable, annual charges, furnishings | Primary scenario |
| Existing-bedroom rooms | Room demand and written management stance | Conditional scenario |
| Co-living | Shared-service cost and tenant evidence | Conditional scenario |
| Short stay | Written permission, ADR, occupancy and operator quote | Blocked until evidence exists |
Building-specific checks before you commit
For Tiara Imperio Residence, the practical on-site and documentary checks the landlord must complete before any tenant signs are:
- Title category check: obtain the individual issue document of title for the specific unit. Verify it is residential-titled (not commercial-titled or mixed-use). Commercial-titled units cannot be used for ordinary residential tenancy under MP Kajang (MPKj) rules; a 350-650 sqft SOHO has a non-trivial chance of being commercial-titled.
- MC by-law text request: written request to the management office for the pet, multi-tenancy, short-stay, submeter and renovation-approval stances. Use an editable planning assumption for scheduling only; the response is the by-law text, not a verbal "yes/no".
- Recent sinking-fund and special-levy history: obtain the last 3 years' AGM minutes and any special-levy notices. A pending RM 500-1,000/sqft special levy is a material capex hit.
- Floor-plan and unit-condition photo record: take dated photos of every wall, floor, fixture, fitting and appliance. Save to a tenancy-evidence folder. This is the inventory baseline for the move-in and move-out inspection.
- JMB/MC insurance coverage: confirm the building's master policy covers fire, flood and structural damage. The landlord's contents insurance covers in-unit items; the building's master policy covers structure.
- Surrounding 200m walk: confirm the actual walking distance to the nearest transit (LRT/MRT/KTM), supermarket, clinic and school. The KTM Komuter UKM station is the rail anchor for the area; check the actual walking distance and the last-mile feeder-bus options.
- SPEEDHOME listing filter for kajang: pull the current 3-5 comparable listings on SPEEDHOME to confirm the achievable rent. The kajang market moves within 6-12 month cycles; a 12-month-old comparable may be 10-15% off the current rate.
For Tiara Imperio Residence, use an editable planning assumption when scheduling document collection; actual turnaround depends on the management office and record availability.
Downside
The realistic downside scenarios for Tiara Imperio Residence:
- JMB denies short-stay: cannot recover the short-stay premium. Pivot to long-term at the same fit-out. Capital loss is the rent differential over the next 12-24 months.
- JMB denies multi-tenancy: the room-rental premium is gone. Long-term whole-unit is the fallback. Capital loss is the differential against whole-unit rent for the next 12-24 months.
- MC denies renovation approval: SPEEDRENO fit-out may be limited to the no-alteration scope (painting, tiling, trunking — no partition, no kitchen relocation). Premium scenario restricted; lean scenario workable.
- Restrictive pet policy: 10-20% pet premium not available. Treat achievable pet-friendly rent as 0% above the no-pet baseline.
- Special levy during ownership: RM 500-1,000/sqft special levy (lift replacement, facade repair) is a material capex hit. Obtain AGM minutes before purchase.
- Vacancy extends past 2 months: 10% rent reduction typically clears the void within 6 weeks; 20% reduction within 4 weeks. Beyond 3 months, consider fully-furnished premium relaunch or SPEEDHOME managed service.
- Per-unit title category is commercial-titled: ordinary residential tenancy is barred under MP Kajang (MPKj) rules. Deal-breaker; obtain the title before committing.
The downside is bounded if the landlord obtains the by-law text, AGM minutes, and per-unit title before purchase. The downside is unbounded if these checks are skipped.

SPEEDRENO fit-out capex path for Tiara Imperio Residence
For Tiara Imperio Residence (kajang), SPEEDRENO's standard fit-out (RM 18,000 lean / RM 32,000 premium) is the building-specific capex reference. The shared renovation ROI calculator above lets the landlord plug in these numbers against the dated rent. SPEEDRENO's scope includes kitchen and bathroom replacement, floor tiling, painting, electrical and air-conditioning trunking, but excludes structural alteration, partition walls and management-approval-dependent items. A higher-spend scenario that produces no additional economic NOI is marked dominated in the chart.
The SPEEDRENO decision path for Tiara Imperio Residence is: (1) confirm the unit's existing condition against the standard fit-out scope, (2) replace the calculator's rent input with a current comparable from the SPEEDHOME listing filter, (3) compare lean vs premium against the actual rent uplift the local tenant pool will pay, (4) commit only if the chart shows positive marginal return above the spent capital and the management allows the work. The fit-out is reversible: the owner can re-let at whole-unit long-term on the next cycle if the room-rental experiment fails.

FAQ
Tiara Imperio Residence whole-unit vs by-room?
Whole-unit long-term is the default for Tiara Imperio Residence. A 350-650 sqft SOHO does not natively support separate bedrooms; room-rental is conditional on the MC's pet + multi-tenancy stance and on whether the layout can be operated without a partition that requires alteration approval. The SPEEDRENO fit-out is the same scope for both; the operating model choice is independent of the capex.
Tiara Imperio Residence short-stay stance?
Only after written MC confirmation that short-stay is allowed. Treat it as unavailable until that confirmation is in hand.
Tiara Imperio Residence verify before fit-out?
The MC by-law text, the per-unit title category, and the MC's renovation-approval turnaround. The SPEEDRENO standard fit-out is within the no-alteration scope for most projects; partition, kitchen relocation and air-conditioning trunking may require alteration approval under SMA 757 s.25. The shared calculator above lets the landlord model the lean vs premium capex against the dated rent.
Matched SPEEDHOME close
For a Tiara Imperio Residence unit where the per-MC verdict is whole-unit long-term and the SPEEDRENO fit-out reframes the rent case, the matched SPEEDHOME close is the landlord service: tenant screening, stamped tenancy agreement, monthly rent collection, renewal and the renewal-tenancy cycle. The SPEEDRENO standard fit-out is the matched capex; SPEEDHOME handles the rest.
