MABA Suitez is one of the few new launches in Kuala Lumpur you can point at on a map and say it is next to the country's tallest tower. It is a 60-storey twin-tower project by EXSIM and the Malaysian Basketball Association (MABA), going up on the former Wisma Maba site on Jalan Hang Jebat, directly opposite Merdeka 118. If you are weighing it up, this guide covers what has been published, what the numbers could look like for each unit type, and the questions worth asking before you put down a booking fee.

Why the location is the story
Merdeka 118 is the anchor of the Merdeka precinct: the tower itself, 118 Mall at its base, and Stadium Merdeka beside it. MABA Suitez is roughly 50m from all three, which is as close as a private residential address gets. Rail is the second half of the case. Merdeka MRT (SBK17) on the MRT Kajang Line is about 500m away, and Plaza Rakyat LRT is within walking distance, so a resident can reach much of the city without a car.
Around the site, the developer's aerial plan marks Central Market, REXKL, the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple and the Kwai Chai Hong lane, which puts Chinatown's dining and heritage streets on foot. Jalan Sultan, Jalan Pudu and Jalan Tun H S Lee connect the address to the rest of the city centre.
Unit types and what the numbers could look like
The published layouts are:
- Type C1: 323 sq ft studio office suite
- Type A1: 484 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom
- Type B1: 657 sq ft, 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms
Market indication for the project is around RM2,100 to RM2,200 per sq ft. That figure has not been confirmed against the developer's official price list, so treat the table below as a rough guide to budget, not a quote.
| Type | Size | Rough price at RM2,100–2,200 psf |
|---|---|---|
| C1 (office suite) | 323 sq ft | RM680K–RM710K |
| A1 | 484 sq ft | RM1.02M–RM1.06M |
| B1 | 657 sq ft | RM1.38M–RM1.45M |
Two things stand out. First, this is a premium, per-square-foot-driven market, so a smaller unit does not mean a low ticket price. Second, the office suite is the cheapest way in but it is a different product from a residential unit, with different loan, usage and rental rules, so check what it is approved for before you commit.
Who it suits
- City-centre own-stay buyers who want to live within walking distance of rail and the Merdeka precinct.
- Investors who prefer a landmark-adjacent address and are comfortable with a 2031 completion. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on the price you pay and the rental market at handover.
- Buyers who value a distinctive story. MABA is relocating into a new headquarters inside the development, with a dedicated 3x3 basketball court, and proceeds are earmarked to build long-term financial assets for Malaysian basketball.
It is a poorer fit if you need to move in soon, since completion is targeted for 2031, or if you want a low entry price, since city-centre pricing at this level is not cheap.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can you send the current, official price list and the exact unit availability for each type?
- What is the confirmed land title and tenure, in writing?
- Which units are residential and which are office suites, and what is each approved for?
- What is the staged payment schedule, and what is the booking fee and downpayment for my unit?
- Are there any developer packages or rebates, and how do they change the price on the Sale and Purchase Agreement?
- What are the estimated service charge and sinking fund per sq ft?
Your Sale and Purchase Agreement will now be generated and signed digitally, so it also helps to read our explainer on what e-SPA and HIMS mean for buyers, and to compare the tenure question with our guide to freehold vs leasehold in Malaysia. If you are working out the upfront cash, see how much you need to put down on a new launch. Foreign buyers should also read the 2026 foreign buyer stamp duty rules.

Frequently asked questions
How much does MABA Suitez cost?
The market indication is roughly RM2,100 to RM2,200 per sq ft, which has not been confirmed against the developer's official price list. On the published unit sizes, that points to roughly RM680K to RM710K for the 323 sq ft office suite, RM1.02M to RM1.06M for the 484 sq ft Type A1, and RM1.38M to RM1.45M for the 657 sq ft Type B1. Ask for the current price list before relying on any figure.
Where is MABA Suitez?
MABA Suitez sits on Jalan Hang Jebat in Kuala Lumpur city centre, on the former Wisma Maba site directly opposite Merdeka 118. It is roughly 50m from Merdeka 118, 118 Mall and Stadium Merdeka, about 500m from Merdeka MRT (SBK17), and within walking distance of Plaza Rakyat LRT.
Who is the developer and when will it complete?
MABA Suitez is a joint venture between EXSIM and the Malaysian Basketball Association (MABA) on a 1.328-acre site, with an RM800 million gross development value. Groundbreaking took place on 30 November 2025 and EXSIM is targeting completion in 2031.
Is MABA Suitez freehold?
It is marketed as freehold, based on information from the agent team. This has not yet been independently confirmed against the developer's official documentation, so ask for the title details in writing before you pay a booking fee.
Can I buy MABA Suitez as an investment?
Buyers commonly look at city-centre serviced residences for rental and capital appreciation, but nothing is guaranteed. Yields depend on the price you pay, the unit type and the rental market at completion in 2031, so run your own numbers against the confirmed price list and compare with alternatives before you decide.
