The short answer
MABA Suitez is a leasehold development of 914 units by EXSIM and the Malaysian Basketball Association on Jalan Hang Jebat, Kuala Lumpur, directly opposite Merdeka 118 and about 160m from Merdeka MRT. The developer's estimated prices are RM699,000 to RM872,500 for a 323 sq ft office suite, RM1,131,200 to RM1,176,200 for a 484 sq ft 1+1 room unit, and RM1,509,200 to RM1,546,200 for a 657 sq ft dual-key unit. Booking opened on 8 October 2026.
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 two-tower project by EXSIM and the Malaysian Basketball Association (MABA) on the former Wisma Maba site on Jalan Hang Jebat, directly opposite Merdeka 118. The developer's preview sales kit has now published the unit mix, estimated prices, freebies and facilities, so this guide replaces the market estimates we carried before with the developer's own figures.

How much each unit type costs
These are the developer's estimated price ranges. The spread within each type reflects floor and facing; the final figure for a specific unit is on the official price list at booking.
| Type | Size & layout | Estimated price | Per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| A (249 units) | 323 sq ft office suite, studio | RM699,000 – RM872,500 | RM2,164 – RM2,701 |
| B (288 units) | 484 sq ft, 1+1 room, 1 bath | RM1,131,200 – RM1,176,200 | RM2,337 – RM2,430 |
| C / C(M) (377 units) | 657 sq ft, 1 room, 2 baths, dual key | RM1,509,200 – RM1,546,200 | RM2,297 – RM2,353 |
Three things stand out. First, the Type A office suite is the cheapest way in, but it has the widest price spread and the highest psf at the top end, so the floor you pick matters more than for the other types. Second, it is a strata office suite rather than a serviced apartment, with different loan, usage and short-stay rules, so check what it is approved for before you commit. Third, Type C costs less per sq ft than Type B while giving you a dual-key layout, which is why it makes up the largest share of the unit mix.
For a rough monthly figure: at a 90% loan over 35 years at 4.2%, a RM699,000 Type A works out to about RM2,860 a month, a RM1,131,200 Type B to about RM4,630, and a RM1,509,200 Type C to about RM6,180. The MABA Suitez instalment calculator lets you change the price, down payment and rate.
Bare unit, freebies, or fully furnished with Mana Mana
Units are sold as bare units with a freebies package: free legal fees on the SPA and the loan documentation, free stamping fees on the loan, plus fittings that scale with the unit. Type A gets 1 digital lockset, 1 air-conditioner, 1 water heater and 1 vanity set. Type B gets 3 air-conditioners and an engineered wooden door, and Type C gets 2 of most items.
Owners who place their unit under the Mana Mana hospitality management programme are expected to be entitled to a fully furnished unit. The sales kit shows two Mana Mana interior concepts: Walnut Elegance for Type A, in walnut-stained wood, brushed bronze and travertine, and Ivory Serenity for Type B, in light ash oak, brushed champagne gold and linen. Before you rely on it, ask for the programme terms in writing: how long the management agreement runs, how income is shared, how many nights you can use the unit yourself, and what happens to the furniture if you leave the programme.
Why the location is the story
Merdeka 118 is the anchor of the Merdeka precinct: the tower itself, 118 Mall at its base, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur inside it and Stadium Merdeka beside it. The developer puts Menara Merdeka Maybank about 118m from MABA Suitez, a 2-minute walk. Rail is the second half of the case: Merdeka MRT station (KG17) on the Kajang Line is about 160m away, 1 stop from Bukit Bintang and 2 from TRX, and Plaza Rakyat LRT is within walking distance.
Petaling Street is about 240m away, and Central Market, REXKL, the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple and Kwai Chai Hong are a short walk further. The developer lists Merdeka Square at 1.2km, KL Tower, Perdana Botanical Garden and Pavilion KL at about 2km, TRX at 2.5km and Suria KLCC at 2.8km.
The rental context the developer is pointing to
The sales kit makes its investment case by comparing nearby hotel rates. These are weekend rates from Agoda at the time the developer captured them, shown for reference only. They are not projected returns for MABA Suitez, and a serviced suite is not a five-star hotel room.
| Nearby hotel | Room | Weekend rate | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur | King or Twin Room | RM1,885 | 143m |
| Four Points by Sheraton KL | Deluxe King / Double | RM740 – RM770 | 407m |
| Else Kuala Lumpur | Mantra Room / Sutera Suite | RM600 – RM1,029 | 566m |
| The Majestic Hotel | Deluxe Twin / King | RM580 – RM683 | 1km |
| Parkroyal Collection KL | Urban Deluxe / Family Suite | RM525 – RM966 | 1.35km |
The kit also lists short-stay serviced apartments about 3km away, closer in product to MABA Suitez: Axon Residence at RM250 to RM380 a night, Lucentia Suite BBCC at RM265 to RM305, Suasana Suites at RM310 to RM640 and Ceylon Suites at RM230 to RM270. For citywide context, it cites a budget hotel in Chinatown at about RM188 a night and an 88 sq m serviced apartment by Opus Hospitality at about RM807.
To turn any of this into a yield, you need the nightly rate a 323 to 657 sq ft suite can actually achieve, realistic occupancy, the management company's share, and the RM0.99 psf maintenance fee, against the price you pay. Ask for the Mana Mana programme's fee structure and any track record from its other properties before you compare.
Facilities
The Level 6 podium, shared by both towers, has the MABA Court basketball court, a gymnasium, a Coworking Lounge, The Playmaker Hub, The Bench and Garden Alcoves. Tower A's sky deck on Levels 53 and 53A has the Luxe Pool, a jacuzzi, a pool deck, the Loft Lounge, Ripple Lounge, Sunken Lounge and Hanging Garden. Tower B has the Garden, Music and Games Lounges on Level 47, and the Sunlit Pool, Kid's Pool and Pool Lounge on Level 50. The ground floor has the grand lobby, retail and a food court.
The developer
EXSIM started in timber and moved into property development in 2008. Its sales kit, with data as of Q2 2026, cites 37 developments completed and delivered, 19,250 units delivered, every high-rise certified under GBI or GreenRE (16 GreenRE Gold), an average QLASSIC score of 80%, 4 FIABCI World Prix d'Excellence awards and 8 FIABCI-Malaysia Property Awards. MABA, the joint-venture partner, owned the site and is moving its office and a basketball court into the podium. At groundbreaking, proceeds were reported to be earmarked for at least RM170 million in long-term financial assets for Malaysian basketball.
Who it suits
- City-centre own-stay buyers who want to walk to the MRT, Merdeka 118 and Chinatown, and are happy in 484 to 657 sq ft.
- Hospitality-programme investors who want a landmark address and a furnished, managed unit. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on the price, the management terms and the market at completion.
- Buyers who want flexibility in one unit. Type C's dual-key layout lets you live in one part and let the other, or let both.
It is a poorer fit if you need to move in soon, since completion is 60 months from APDL, if you need a car park bundled in, or if you want a low entry price, since city-centre pricing at this level is not cheap.

Who is the developer and when will it complete?
MABA Suitez is developed by EXSIM MABA Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between EXSIM and the Malaysian Basketball Association (MABA), on a 1.328-acre site. Groundbreaking took place on 30 November 2025, and the developer states completion 60 months after obtaining the APDL; media at groundbreaking reported a 2031 target.

MABA Suitez has 914 units in two towers: Tower A has 54 storeys and 534 units (Levels 7 to 51), and Tower B has 50 storeys and 380 units (Levels 7 to 43A). Tower A is served by 7 passenger lifts and 1 service lift, and Tower B by 5 passenger lifts and 1 service lift.
Is MABA Suitez freehold?
MABA Suitez is leasehold, according to the developer's sales kit. The land is zoned commercial, with serviced apartments under an HDA licence and strata office suites. Ask for the remaining lease period in writing before you pay a booking fee.
Is MABA Suitez fully furnished?
Units are sold as bare units with a freebies package (air-conditioners, digital lockset, water heater, vanity top with mirror and, for Types B and C, an engineered wooden door). Owners who place their unit under the Mana Mana hospitality management programme are expected to be entitled to a fully furnished unit in Mana Mana's Walnut Elegance or Ivory Serenity interior concepts. Confirm the programme terms in writing before booking.
Does MABA Suitez come with a car park?
No. Car parks are not sold with the units and are not attached to the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). The development has 391 car park bays plus 6 EV charging bays, which are planned to be rented out, with the rental used to help subsidise owners' maintenance fees. We have not seen the bay rental rate or the size of the subsidy, so confirm the final arrangement with the developer in writing before you book. See the full list of car park questions on the MABA Suitez project page.
What is the maintenance fee at MABA Suitez?
RM0.99 per sq ft per month, including the sinking fund, according to the developer's sales kit. That works out to roughly RM320 for Type A, RM479 for Type B and RM650 for Type C each month.
Does MABA Suitez have a virtual tour?
Yes. A 360° virtual tour is hosted at 360vr.my/exsim/maba and embedded on our MABA Suitez project page. It has three views: Overall View, an aerial of the site with labelled landmarks such as Menara Merdeka Maybank, KL Tower, the Petronas Twin Towers, Pavilion KL and TRX; Level View, which shows the outlook from 600 ft down to 100 ft in 100 ft steps; and Show Unit, a virtual walkthrough of Types A, B and C with a floor plan for each.
Can I see inside the MABA Suitez units before I book?
Yes, virtually. The Show Unit view of the 360° tour opens Type A, Type B and Type C, each with a labelled floor plan and a marker showing where you are standing. Type A (323 sq ft, 30 sq m) opens Bedroom, Kitchen and Bathroom scenes. Type B (484 sq ft, 45 sq m) opens Living, Kitchen & Dining, Corridor and Master Bedroom. Type C (657 sq ft, 61 sq m, dual key) opens Bedroom 1, Pantry 1, Bath 1, Bedroom 2, Pantry 2 and Bath 2. The interiors are the developer's virtual show unit, so furniture and finishes are illustrative, and units are sold bare with a freebies package.
Can I buy MABA Suitez as an investment?
Many buyers look at MABA Suitez for short-stay or hospitality-managed rental. The developer's sales kit compares nearby hotel rates, from about RM525 to RM1,885 a night, and short-stay serviced apartments 3km away at RM230 to RM640 a night (Agoda, at the time of capture). These are reference rates, not projected returns. Returns depend on the price you pay, the management programme and the market at completion, so run your own numbers.
