Media Release – Sunway Property Unveils Sunway Cochrane – Freehold Transit-Oriented Living in the Heart of Kuala Lumpur

A walkable Cochrane precinct with smart, customised layouts, lifestyle facilities, and seamless access to the Sunway Velocity ecosystem — directly connected to the MRT, just one stop from TRX, two from Bukit Bintang, and only minutes away from KLCC.

KUALA LUMPUR, 8th October 2025 — Master Community Developer Sunway Property today announced that Sunway Cochrane, a 5.4-acre freehold serviced apartment development, is now open for registration, set to redefine connected and sustainable urban living in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

Meticulously planned as a transit-oriented development (TOD), Sunway Cochrane features a 60-metre covered link bridge to CochraneMRT station and more than 40 lifestyle facilities. It is designed to meet the evolving priorities of modern Kuala Lumpur homebuyers, including urban professionals, young families, and expatriates – who increasingly value accessibility, integrated amenities, space efficiency, and environmental sustainability over sheer size. Positioned within the vibrant Jalan Cochrane precinct, it is uniquely placed to serve the growing demand for future-ready city residences.

“As a Master Community Developer, our vision is to create integrated developments that are not just homes, but healthy, resilient, and connected ecosystems for the community,” said Chong Sau Min, Sunway Property Chief Executive Officer.

“With Sunway Cochrane, we are setting a new benchmark for TODs in Kuala Lumpur by placing direct MRT access, GreenRE compliance, and future-ready features such as EV charging at the heart of the design. Guided by our proprietary Sunway Design & Development Architecture (SDDA) framework – anchored on sustainability, Innovation, Health & Wellness, and Lifestyle & New Experiences – every detail of this development has been crafted with care to deliver long-term value for both homeowners and investors.”

Why TODs are the Cornerstone of Kuala Lumpur’s Urban Future

According to research published by Sciendo, property prices in Kuala Lumpur exhibit a clear positive correlation with proximity to rail transit, with values increasing by approximately 5.6% for every 100 meters closer to a station. This reinforces the growing demand for TODs, which are fast becoming a cornerstone of Kuala Lumpur’s real estate market.

Reflecting this strong investor appetite and tenant demand, Sunway Cochrane is well positioned to capitalise on the momentum. Sunway Cochrane delivers both resilient value and strong rental potential. Designed as a sustainable urban residence, it sets a new benchmark for TOD living in Kuala Lumpur.
 
The Solution: Smart Living Meets Seamless Connectivity Sunway Cochrane is Sunway Property’s response to the challenges of city living, delivering homes that combine efficient, smart design with unbeatable connectivity. By addressing common urban pain points such as long commutes and limited access to lifestyle conveniences, it offers residents a smarter, more integrated way to live in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

 Seamless Transit Access: A 60-metre covered link bridge provides direct access to the Cochrane MRT station, connecting residents to key destinations across Kuala Lumpur. From Cochrane, it is just one stop away from TRX (Tun Razak Exchange), Malaysia’s international financial hub, with a convenient interchange to KLCC. Residents are also two stops from Bukit Bintang, three stops from Merdeka 118 and five stops from KL Sentral, which links directly to KLIA via ERL, offering unmatched convenience for both daily commuters and international travellers.

 Integrated Urban Ecosystem: Residents step into a ready-made ecosystem, directly opposite IKEA Cheras and MyTown, and seamlessly connected to the established Sunway Velocity township. With doorstep retail alongside healthcare, education, and hospitality amenities within walking distance, everyday convenience becomes a way of life.

 Design-Led Functionality: The freehold serviced apartments across two towers offer 2–3 bedroom layouts ranging from 650 – 1,001 sq. ft., each thoughtfully designed to maximise liveable space. Select units feature a hackable wall option, allowing rooms to be combined into larger layouts—with modifications completed prior to vacant possession to save residents time and cost. Every home is also smart-home ready, equipped with a digital door lock and fingertip control over lighting, air conditioning, and more, offering an optimal blend of comfort and utility for young families and urban professionals.
 

Innovation and Sustainability for Future Generations

Sunway Cochrane reflects Sunway Property’s long-term commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UNSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. The development is fully GreenRE-compliant and designed with long-term sustainability and livability in mind, incorporating smart home systems and EV charging facilities that support a more energy-efficient, connected lifestyle.

Sunway Cochrane’s features are intended to encourage everyday wellbeing, productivity, and a sense of community, all within a central urban location. Residents benefit from over 40 curated amenities that support modern city living, from a 50-metre infinity pool and elevated gym to co-working lounges and rooftop sky decks with expansive views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

For homeowners, Sunway Cochrane offers a balanced lifestyle where essentials and experiences are close at hand. For investors, its sustainable design, lifestyle appeal, and direct MRT connectivity, contribute to its long-term rental and capital growth potential.

In addition, every new homebuyer of Sunway Cochrane automatically becomes a member of Sunway Property+, the developer’s aftersales lifestyle programme. It includes Care+ for convenient home maintenance services such as cleaning, handyman support and air-conditioner servicing; Rent+ for rental advantages that enhance property appeal with tenant perks, allowing tenants to turn their monthly rent into savings that can be converted into rebates for their first Sunway Property home purchase; and Reward+ for lifestyle perks such as exclusive invites and discounts within the wider Sunway ecosystem. Together, these benefits create added value for both homeowners and tenants.
