Price & cost
What it costs

From RM721,800 (~RM1,112 psf) up to ~RM1,428,800, project average ~RM978 psf. Price varies by unit type and facing (No view, Pool, KLCC+TRX, PNB+Pool).
What is the price per square foot?
About RM1,112 psf at entry, averaging ~RM978 psf — well below new TRX condos at RM1,900–2,200 psf one stop away.
What is the maintenance fee?
Approximately RM0.50 per square foot, including the sinking fund.
What is the downpayment and payment plan?
Typically a booking fee then 10% on SPA under HDA Schedule H, with the balance financed. Early-bird rebates and a low-downpayment package may apply — ask for the current package.
Location & connectivity
Where it is
Where exactly is Binastra Cochrane?
Lot 20005, Jalan Cochrane, Seksyen 90, 55100 Kuala Lumpur — beside MyTown Shopping Centre and IKEA Cheras.
What is the nearest MRT and how far is TRX?
Cochrane MRT (Kajang Line) is at the doorstep with a covered link to MyTown. TRX is one stop away; Bukit Bintang, Merdeka 118, Pasar Seni and KL Sentral follow on the line.
Is it near Monash University’s KL campus?
Yes — Monash’s future KL campus (capacity ~22,500 students) is planned at TRX, one MRT stop away, supporting long-term tenant demand.
Investment
Yield & cash flow
What is the rental yield?
Indicative gross yield ~5.9%–6.8%. Reference Cochrane rents: 2-bed RM3,800–5,000, 3-bed RM4,800–6,800.
Does it produce positive cash flow?
On the developer model (90% loan, 3.7%, 35 years), dual-key units run cash-flow positive — roughly +RM1,139 (Type A) to +RM1,624 (Type B dual-key) per month. Illustrative, not guaranteed.
What is a dual-key unit and why does it matter?
Two separate lockable spaces under one title and one loan — two rental incomes, or live-in-one/rent-the-other. It is the main reason Binastra Cochrane cash-flows well.
Is Binastra Cochrane a good investment?
The case rests on price-vs-TRX arbitrage (~RM978 vs RM1,900–2,200 psf one stop away), freehold tenure, dual-key cash flow and TRX/Monash tenant demand. As with any property, verify your own numbers and risk tolerance.
Buying & eligibility
How to buy
Can foreigners buy Binastra Cochrane?
Foreigners can generally buy KL property above the state minimum price threshold, subject to current Wilayah Persekutuan rules. Confirm the prevailing threshold before committing.
What financing/banks are available?
A 10-bank panel is pre-arranged (incl. Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, UOB, OCBC, Affin, Alliance, AmBank, MBSB), so margins and rates can be compared.
Project & developer
The development
When will it be completed?
Expected completion July 2031, under HDA Schedule H.
Who is the developer?
Binastra Land Sdn Bhd, a Tier-1 listed Malaysian developer.
What are the risks?
As with any new launch: completion timeline to 2031, area supply (several Cochrane launches), and rental assumptions depending on the TRX/Monash demand ramp. We provide an honest due-diligence walkthrough on request.
