MABA Suitez broke ground on 30 November 2025 and is under construction. Several details — final pricing, tenure and floor plans — have not yet been officially released; this page will be updated as EXSIM confirms them.
MABA Suitez replaces the 1969-built Wisma MABA — long-time home of Malaysian basketball — with twin 60-storey towers directly across from Merdeka 118.
Jalan Hang Jebat sits at the meeting point of Merdeka 118, Chinatown, Pudu and Bukit Bintang — one of KL's oldest and most central addresses.
* As stated by the developer at groundbreaking; exact distances not yet published.
Floor plans have not been released. The developer has confirmed two broad categories and their size ranges — full layouts are expected closer to the sales launch.
The bulk of the ~1,300 units, sized for owner-occupiers, expats and short-stay rental demand right in the city centre.
A smaller allocation of compact office suites, suited to small businesses or professionals wanting a KL city-centre address.
MABA Suitez has drawn coverage from Malaysia's main business and property press since groundbreaking in November 2025. A few worth reading in full:

No development suits everybody — and this one carries extra pre-launch uncertainty. Here is an honest read on who it fits.
Every project involves trade-offs — and this one comes with the added uncertainty of being pre-launch.
MABA Suitez is genuinely early-stage, and I want to be upfront about that before anything else. Construction broke ground in November 2025, but pricing was still being reviewed at that point, floor plans have not been released, and tenure has not been publicly confirmed. Anyone who registers interest today is doing so on the strength of the location and the developer, not a finished sales package.
That said, the location argument is a real one, not just marketing language. A plot directly facing Merdeka 118, within walking distance of two rail lines, in a city as built-out as central Kuala Lumpur, is genuinely scarce — there are not many comparable sites left to redevelop. Combine that with EXSIM's completed track record, which includes several projects I already cover on this site, and the fundamentals are more credible than a typical unnamed pre-launch.
The MABA financing structure is also worth understanding, because it is unusual. MABA is not simply selling land — the association is reinvesting a substantial portion of its proceeds back into buying units for rental income, which is a publicly confirmed and specific plan, not a vague promise. It does not change your risk as a buyer, but it does suggest a partner with a genuine long-term stake in the project's success rather than a one-off land sale.
My honest advice: treat pre-registration as exactly what it is — a way to get information first, not a commitment. I would not put money down on anything until pricing, tenure and floor plans are formally confirmed, and I will update this page the moment they are.
Jalan Hang Jebat sits in one of Kuala Lumpur's oldest and most layered districts — bordered by Chinatown to one side, Bukit Bintang and Pudu to the other, and now overshadowed by Merdeka 118, currently the world's second-tallest building. This is not a manicured, purpose-planned township; it is a genuinely old part of the city, with decades of shophouses, hawker stalls, temples and small businesses sitting alongside a wave of new towers rising around the Merdeka 118 precinct.
The practical upside of that location is connectivity that took decades to build and cannot be replicated by a newer township. MRT Merdeka and LRT Plaza Rakyat both sit within walking distance, giving direct rail access across the Klang Valley without needing a car for daily commuting — genuinely rare for a project at this scale in central KL.
Merdeka 118's completion has accelerated redevelopment interest along this stretch of the city — the EdgeProp coverage of the area explicitly frames MABA Suitez alongside several other major towers reshaping the district. Whether that translates into strong resale demand by 2031 depends on how the precinct actually develops over the coming years, which is inherently harder to predict than buying into an area that is already finished. Buyers should see this as a bet on the district's continued transformation, not a guaranteed outcome.

MABA Suitez is a joint venture between EXSIM Development Sdn Bhd and the Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA), on the site of the former Wisma MABA.
Construction broke ground on 30 November 2025. Final pricing was expected to be confirmed around March 2026, and floor plans and a formal sales launch have not yet been released. This page will be updated as those details are confirmed.
At groundbreaking, the developer indicated a price range of roughly RM1,800 to RM2,200 per square foot, described as still under review. Treat this as directional, not final, until officially confirmed.
Serviced apartments from 484 to 657 sq ft, and office suites from 323 sq ft, across approximately 1,300 units in two 60-storey towers.
Tenure has not been publicly confirmed at the time of writing. We will update this page once the developer releases it.
On Jalan Hang Jebat, Kuala Lumpur, directly opposite the Merdeka 118 precinct, within walking distance of MRT Merdeka and LRT Plaza Rakyat stations.
Completion is targeted for 2031.
The development includes a new 3,000 sq ft head office for the Malaysia Basketball Association, featuring a half 3x3 basketball court — a purpose-built space tied to the association's move from the old Wisma MABA.
