About Ara Bloc Residences
Ara Bloc Residences (also searched as Ara Bloc or Ara Bloc Ara Damansara) is a new serviced apartment launch by Sime Darby Property in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya. The developer describes it as built around three ideas: connection to the commute, work and daily essentials with retail right downstairs, coexistence with nature, and community through shared facilities.
The blocks sit on more than 1.9 acres of lifestyle space. EdgeProp reports 998 units over 26 floors in total, and the construction contract awarded in April 2026 covers three 17-storey blocks on a nine-storey podium that holds retail, car parks, resident facilities and utilities. Homes range from 767 to 1,238 sq ft, with hackable walls that let owners reconfigure space, and natural light and ventilation in all rooms.
Pricing is still emerging. A Sime Darby Property-sponsored feature in August 2026 says units start from RM499,000 for selected units, and another listing shows RM550,000, while the developer's own website lists no prices. Treat any figure as indicative until you have the current price list.

Developer: Sime Darby Property
Ara Bloc Residences is developed by Sime Darby Property, which also develops the wider Ara Damansara township. The construction contract for the project, worth RM359.28 million, was awarded to Tuju Setia Bhd in April 2026 for a duration of 40 months, according to EdgeProp.
Because the project is freehold, serviced and sold with retail below, it is worth comparing with other Ara Damansara launches such as ARRA Residences and Amara Residences, and checking how the commercial-title and serviced-apartment status affects loan margins and utility tariffs.
