Quill Residence

Reviewed by iProperty Editorial Team, June 2025

Quill Residence is a freehold commercial strata serviced residence at 1018 Jalan Sultan Ismail in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, developed by Andarama Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Quill Group of Companies. 552 units are distributed across a single 36-storey tower on 1.36 acres, with built-up sizes from 667 sq ft to 1,474 sq ft in 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom configurations, and larger penthouse-scale units above that range. The development is directly integrated above Quill City Mall, with Medan Tuanku Monorail station directly opposite. Dang Wangi LRT is within walking distance. The Petronas Twin Towers and Bukit Bintang are within easy reach by foot or rail. Main trade-offs are the commercial strata title, compact units on the smaller end, and the dense city-centre traffic environment.

Quill Residence is a freehold serviced residence on Jalan Sultan Ismail in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, developed by Andarama Sdn Bhd, a member of the Quill Group of Companies. The development rises 36 storeys on 1.36 acres and is directly integrated into Quill City Mall below, providing residents with ground-floor mall access.

552 units are offered in 1-bedroom layouts from 667 sq ft and 2-bedroom layouts up to 1,474 sq ft, with larger penthouse-scale configurations also available. The building carries a commercial strata title. The Quill Group has an established presence in the KL Central Business District through multiple commercial and office developments.

Quill Residence is located at 1018 Jalan Sultan Ismail, in the Golden Triangle, with Quill City Mall integrated at its base. The development is in one of KL's most central addresses, within the corridor linking Chow Kit, KLCC, and Bukit Bintang.

Medan Tuanku Monorail station (KL Monorail) is directly opposite the development, making it among the most transit-accessible residential addresses on the Jalan Sultan Ismail stretch. Dang Wangi LRT station (Kelana Jaya Line KJ12) is within walking distance. The Petronas Twin Towers are approximately 15 minutes on foot and KLCC Park is nearby.

Quill Residence fronts Jalan Sultan Ismail, a primary arterial connecting Chow Kit, the Golden Triangle, and Jalan Ampang. Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim and Jalan Raja Chulan are accessible within a short drive. Federal Highway and KESAS access is available via the city road network.

The Golden Triangle is heavily trafficked throughout the day and evening. Medan Tuanku Monorail's direct opposite position significantly reduces the need for residents to drive for city-centre errands or commuting.

Quill Residence offers four standard unit types.

1 covered car park bay is allocated per unit. Maintenance is RM 0.55 per sq ft per month. Seven lifts serve the tower — 3 for low-floor zones, 3 for high-floor zones, and 1 cargo lift.

Facilities at Quill Residence include a swimming pool, wading pool, gymnasium, jogging track, sauna, BBQ area, children's playground, cafeteria, minimart, nursery, and 24-hour security. Direct access to Quill City Mall at the podium level provides retail, dining, and entertainment facilities below the residential floors.

552 units across 36 storeys on 1.36 acres gives an estimated density of approximately 406 units per acre — high by Klang Valley standards for a single tower. With 19 to 20 units per floor across 36 floors, the seven-lift system (split low and high zone) is configured to manage the per-lift load across the tower's floors.

The 1.36-acre site means communal outdoor space is limited relative to the unit count. Residents benefit from the Quill City Mall podium below for daily amenities, which partially offsets the compact footprint of the site.

All distances are approximate, measured from 1018 Jalan Sultan Ismail. The Golden Triangle operates at high pedestrian and vehicle density throughout the day.

Platinum Suites (The Face Suites) is a direct neighbour on the same Jalan Sultan Ismail stretch, also a freehold commercial strata SOHO serviced residence. Buyers comparing the two may weigh Quill Residence's Quill City Mall integration and Medan Tuanku Monorail adjacency against Platinum Suites' Dang Wangi LRT proximity and the Renaissance Hotel connection.

Summer Suites (KLCC, Kuala Lumpur) is another serviced residence in the immediate KLCC-Golden Triangle vicinity developed by Sunrise (UEM Sunrise), providing a comparison for freehold KLCC-area serviced residences at a similar price range and market positioning.

Quill Residence may suit urban professionals, expatriates, short-stay investors, and buyers who want a freehold Golden Triangle address with immediate monorail access and Quill City Mall at the doorstep. The 667 sq ft 1-bedroom layout suits singles and couples, while the 1,367–1,474 sq ft 2-bedroom configurations are practical for small families.

It is less suited to buyers who prefer a low-density residential community environment, those who need multiple car park bays, or buyers who want residential strata title with lower utility tariffs.

The commercial strata title at Quill Residence carries commercial electricity and water tariff rates. The mixed-use character of the building — residential units above a shopping mall with hotel-format tenancy — creates a community with a more transient profile than a purpose-built residential condominium.

552 units on 1.36 acres is a high site density. The building's communal outdoor spaces are limited, though the mall podium and the proximity to KL Forest Eco Park provide accessible leisure alternatives nearby.

The 19 to 20 units per floor served by 7 lifts is a reasonable ratio, but lift demand during morning and evening peaks in a single tower of this density warrants consideration.
