Residensi Bayu Damai

Everything below comes from the developer’s own material. These are the figures that are fixed at construction — renovation changes none of them, so they are worth checking before anything else.

- **Developer** — EXSIM- **Property type** — High Rise Condominium- **Tenure** — Leasehold- **Land title** — Residential- **Land area** — 10.20 acres- **Blocks** — 2 blocks- **Storeys** — Tower A 38 levels (about 120 m) · Tower B 34 levels (about 110 m)- **Total units** — 762 — Tower A 373 (levels 5 to 38) · Tower B 389 (levels 5 to 33A)- **Units per floor** — Tower A 11 · Tower B 13- **Lifts** — 3 passenger lifts plus 1 service lift per tower- **Car parking** — 7 levels from LG3 to Level 3, 1,176 bays plus 106 visitor bays. One bay for Type A and B, two for B1, C, D and D1- **Security** — Multi-tier- **Architect** — Lateral Architecture Studio with Kenneth Tan Design Architect (KTDA); landscape by Salad Dressing- **Completion** — Q4 2028

762 homes on 10.20 acres is about 75 units per acre. That is low by high-rise standards, which usually shows up as more open ground and fewer people sharing the lift lobby.

Lift provisioning is the number people notice daily and can never change afterwards: 11 units to a floor, with 3 passenger lifts plus 1 service lift per tower in each of the 2 blocks. That works out to roughly 127 homes per passenger lift, which is on the tight side — worth standing in the lobby at 8am before you commit.

Car parking is 7 levels from LG3 to Level 3, 1,176 bays plus 106 visitor bays. One bay for Type A and B, two for B1, C, D and D1. In a completed development this is one of the few things you cannot renegotiate afterwards, so check it against how many cars you actually run.

Completion is stated as Q4 2028. Ask to see that date on the statutory panel rather than in the brochure headline, and hold the developer to the panel version.

### Unit Types

| Type | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | A | 697 sq ft | 2 | 2 | bedroom plus study; 190 units across both towers | | B | 834 sq ft | 3 | 2 | master with walk-in wardrobe, plus study and yard; 158 units | | B1 | 898 sq ft | 3 | 2 | adds an open nook to the Type B arrangement; 128 units | | C | 963 sq ft | 3 | 2 | two bedrooms plus study, larger living and dining; 158 units | | D | 1,131 sq ft | 4 | 3 | three bathrooms, walk-in wardrobe, store and two A/C ledges; 64 units | | D1 | 1,132 sq ft | 4 | 3 | the Type D plan with a slightly deeper balcony; 64 units |

Six layouts from 697 to 1,132 sq ft, and the areas here are verifiable rather than rounded — the developer publishes a room-by-room measurement sheet, and adding the rooms up returns exactly the headline figure for every type. Note that the ‘+1’ in the bedroom counts is a study in every plan except D and D1, which are genuine four-bedroom homes with three bathrooms. B1 differs from B only by an open nook, and D1 from D only by about a foot of balcony depth — ask to see both drawings side by side rather than choosing on the label. No wall in any type is hackable.

Residensi Bayu Damai sits on 10.2 acres off Jalan Damai in Kota Kinabalu, inland of the waterfront and within the ring of roads — Jalan Lintas, Jalan Tuaran and the KK Bypass — that carries most of the city’s traffic. That places the airport, KK Sentral, the waterfront malls and the two Queen Elizabeth hospitals all within the same urban catchment rather than a highway drive away.

The site itself is the unusual part. At 10.2 acres for two towers, the built footprint is a fraction of the land, and the developer has spent the difference on landscape: a roughly 200 m canopy walk, boardwalks, a herbs garden and a courtyard that the aerial renders show as more green than paving. In a city where new high-rise usually means a tight lot near the coast, the density here is the differentiator.
