Ayanna Resort Residences Reaches Topping-Out Milestone
Chin Hin Group Property has topped out Ayanna Resort Residences in Jalan Mas, Bukit Jalil, marking the completion of the project’s main structural works.
The development remains on schedule for handover in the second quarter of 2027.
Ayanna Resort Residences sits on approximately 4.9 acres of freehold land and comprises two high-rise towers with a total of 824 units.
Block A rises 42 storeys and contains 333 units, while Block B reaches 44 storeys with 491 units.
For existing buyers, the topping-out milestone provides a visible indication that construction has moved beyond the primary structural stage and into the remaining phases involving facade works, building services, interiors, common facilities, testing and final completion.
95% Take-Up Shows Strong Sales Absorption
CHGP said Ayanna Resort Residences has achieved a 95% take-up rate.
That is a significant sales milestone given the project’s 824-unit scale.
The high take-up suggests that most of the project’s inventory has already been absorbed well before handover.
CHGP executive director Chang Tze Yoong said the response reflected buyer confidence in the development’s design, layouts and delivery progress.
From a market perspective, the 95% figure is more useful than a general statement of positive demand.
It shows that Ayanna is approaching completion with relatively limited unsold stock remaining.
That can reduce the risk of the developer needing to compete heavily with its own inventory after vacant possession.
824 Units Across Two Towers
Ayanna Resort Residences is a sizeable high-rise project rather than a boutique development.
Its 824 units are distributed across two towers, which means buyers should consider both the benefits and trade-offs of a larger residential community.
A bigger population can support a broader facility package and stronger internal community activity.
It can also create more resale and rental competition among similar units after completion.
This will be particularly relevant once owners begin taking possession in 2027.
The eventual performance of each unit type will depend on floor level, layout, orientation, furnishing and rental positioning rather than the development’s overall take-up rate alone.
Freehold Tenure Supports Long-Term Positioning
The project’s freehold tenure is one of its core property fundamentals.
In Bukit Jalil, where buyers can choose from a mix of new serviced residences, condominiums and older developments, tenure remains one factor in long-term comparison.
Freehold ownership does not automatically guarantee stronger capital appreciation, but it can improve buyer perception and simplify long-term resale positioning.
For owner-occupiers, the more important consideration remains how well the unit layout, location and facilities support day-to-day living.
Designed For Modern And Multi-Generational Living
CHGP positions Ayanna Resort Residences around modern and multi-generational living.
That is relevant in Bukit Jalil because the local buyer pool includes first-time buyers, upgrading families and households purchasing for parents or adult children.
A project that accommodates different household structures can attract a broader owner-occupier base.
The practical test will be the efficiency of the layouts and whether larger unit types genuinely support multi-generational use.
For family buyers, bedroom proportions, kitchen functionality, storage, accessibility and privacy between living zones are usually more important than design branding alone.
Q2 2027 Handover Remains The Key Timeline
The project is currently targeted for handover in the second quarter of 2027.
With structural works now completed, the development has entered a more advanced stage.
However, topping out is not the same as project completion.
There is still substantial work required before vacant possession, including architectural finishes, mechanical and electrical installation, lifts, common areas, landscaping and regulatory inspections.
For buyers, the next meaningful indicators will be facade completion, progress on facilities and eventual confirmation of vacant possession timing.
The project remaining on schedule at this stage is positive, but actual delivery should still be assessed against the final handover date.
GreenRE Certification Adds A Sustainability Element
Ayanna Resort Residences has also obtained GreenRE certification.
According to CHGP, the project incorporates energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable design features.
Green building certification has become more relevant to residential buyers as electricity use, thermal comfort and long-term building efficiency receive greater attention.
The value of GreenRE certification, however, depends on the actual systems implemented within the project.
Buyers should look at practical elements such as energy-efficient common areas, ventilation, lighting, water management and building materials rather than treating certification as a standalone guarantee of lower ownership costs.
Bukit Jalil Remains A Competitive High-Rise Market
Ayanna enters a Bukit Jalil market with substantial existing and upcoming high-rise supply.
That gives buyers a wide range of choices, but it also means projects need clear differentiation.
Bukit Jalil benefits from established retail, schools, recreation and road connectivity, and the area has continued to attract new residential launches.
For Ayanna, the freehold tenure, high take-up and construction progress are clear positives.
The challenge will come after completion, when owners begin competing in the resale and rental market.
Projects with efficient layouts, good management and a higher proportion of owner-occupiers generally have a stronger chance of maintaining stable long-term positioning.
Sales Success Does Not Automatically Mean Rental Success
A 95% take-up rate confirms strong sales absorption, but this should not be confused with future rental demand.
The two are different.
Sales performance depends on pricing, financing, marketing, product design and buyer confidence at launch.
Rental performance after completion will depend on the number of investor-owned units, tenant demand, competing supply and achievable rents.
For buyers purchasing primarily for investment, it will be important to monitor how many units enter the rental market after handover.
If too many similar units are listed at the same time, landlords may face pressure to compete on rent.
Project Management Will Matter After Handover
For a development with 824 units and a broad facility offering, long-term management quality will become increasingly important after vacant possession.
Maintenance standards, sinking fund management, security, lift performance and common-area upkeep can materially affect resale perception.
A new project often looks attractive at handover.
The more difficult test is whether the property remains well maintained several years later.
For owner-occupiers and long-term investors, this can be more important than the initial topping-out milestone.
What Buyers Should Watch Before Completion
The first item to monitor is whether the Q2 2027 handover target remains intact.
The second is final finishing quality.
The third is the condition and completion of common facilities when vacant possession is delivered.
The fourth is the volume of rental listings after handover.
That will provide an early indication of investor concentration and rental competition.
Buyers should also compare Ayanna with both existing and new Bukit Jalil developments based on total purchase cost, maintenance fees, practical layout and access to amenities rather than headline price alone.
Conclusion: Ayanna Moves Into Its Final Construction Phase
Ayanna Resort Residences has reached an important milestone with both towers now structurally topped out and the project maintaining its Q2 2027 handover target.
The 824-unit freehold development has also reached a 95% take-up rate, indicating that most of its inventory has been absorbed before completion.
For CHGP, the topping-out strengthens confidence in execution.
For buyers, the focus now shifts from sales performance to final delivery quality, management standards and how the project performs once hundreds of units enter occupation.
Ayanna’s long-term position in Bukit Jalil will ultimately depend less on the topping-out ceremony itself and more on whether the completed development delivers practical layouts, well-managed facilities and sustainable owner-occupier and rental demand.
