Independent comparison, with a disclosure. This is an analysis by DMS Jason Chan (REN 78007). We market e.Sentral Smart City. We do not represent Sunway d’hill Residences and have no commercial relationship with Sunway PKNS. Sunway d’hill figures come from the cited third-party sources and are not our own valuations. Verify current pricing and availability with each developer before deciding.
These two projects are structurally almost identical: both leasehold on commercial title, both with two car park bays per unit, both around 2 to 3 km from MRT Kwasa Sentral, and both involving PKNS as a partner. The decision comes down to three things. Sunway d’hill starts at 829 sq ft and RM550,000, so it has nothing for a buyer capped under RM500,000. e.Sentral starts at 450 sq ft and RM338,000. And d’hill was completing in 2026 while e.Sentral hands over in Q3 2028.
| e.Sentral Smart City | Sunway d’hill Residences | |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Seksyen U5, Subang Bestari, Shah Alam | Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, beside a forest reserve |
| Developer | HCK Bestari with PKNS | Sunway PKNS, a Sunway Property and PKNS joint venture |
| Tenure | Leasehold expiring 6 July 2113 | Leasehold. Expiry year not found in any source. |
| Land title | Commercial | Commercial, per PropertyGuru’s project review |
| Entry price | RM270,000 SAMM, RM338,000 LoSo, RM432,000 apartment | RM550,000 at launch. Current listings quoted RM588,000 to RM1,210,682. |
| Built-up range | 450 to 815 sq ft residential, plus retail | 829 to 1,245 sq ft |
| Bedrooms | 1 to 3 | 2 to 4 |
| Units | 973 in Phase 1A, one tower, with a second tower to follow | 976 across two towers |
| Car park | 2 bays per unit | 2 bays per unit, 3 on the largest type |
| Nearest MRT | Kwasa Sentral, roughly 2 to 3 km | Kwasa Sentral 2.5 km, Surian and Kota Damansara around 3 km |
| Handover | Targeted Q3 2028 | Topped off, on track for Q2 2026 completion |
| Take-up | Not published | Around 70% reported |
This is the whole comparison in one number. Both are commercial-title leasehold in the same MRT catchment, so the question is simply what each one asks you to spend to get in.

The gap is not a discount, it is a different product. Sunway d’hill simply does not build small units. If your budget tops out below RM500,000, or you want a compact unit rather than a family-sized one, d’hill is not an option you are choosing against. It is an option you cannot access.
The reverse is also true. If you want 1,000 sq ft or more with three or four bedrooms, e.Sentral does not build that. Its largest residential unit is 815 sq ft.
Choose e.Sentral if your budget is under RM500,000, you want a compact unit rather than a family home, you need a space you can legitimately work from, your household qualifies for the SAMM income tier, or you are buying to let and want the lowest entry ticket in the corridor.
Choose Sunway d’hill if you need three or more bedrooms, you want the keys within a year rather than in 2028, you would rather buy from a larger developer with a longer delivery record, or lower density and a greener setting matter more to you than entry price.
Neither is right if you need to walk to an MRT station. Both are car-first addresses at 2 to 3 km from Kwasa Sentral. Tujuh Residences at Kwasa Damansara City Centre is the project in this corridor that answers that, and we cover it in our round-up of options under RM500,000.
Weighing these two on a specific budget? Tell me what you can service monthly and whether you need two bedrooms or three, and I will tell you which one actually fits, including if the answer is the one I do not represent.
What we could not verify about Sunway d’hill.
We found no source giving its leasehold expiry year. e.Sentral’s runs to 2113, which is unusually long, but without d’hill’s expiry the comparison cannot be made and we are not going to guess at it.
Its current sales status is also unconfirmed for 2026. Take-up was reported at around 70% with completion due in Q2 2026, so remaining developer stock is likely but not certain. Check with Sunway directly.
The launch price of RM550,000 dates from around 2021 in PropertyGuru’s review. Current listings run higher, from RM588,000. If you are comparing today, use the current figure.
e.Sentral, substantially. Its entry points are RM270,000 for a SAMM unit, RM338,000 for a LoSo suite and RM432,000 for a 554 sq ft apartment. Sunway d’hill starts at RM550,000 at launch pricing, with current listings from RM588,000.
Yes. Both are leasehold with commercial land title, which means non-domestic water rates and typically higher local authority assessment for both. e.Sentral’s lease runs to 6 July 2113; we could not find d’hill’s expiry year.
Sunway d’hill, by around two years. It topped off and was on track for Q2 2026 completion. e.Sentral targets vacant possession in Q3 2028.
They are comparable. Sunway d’hill is reported at 2.5 km from MRT Kwasa Sentral, e.Sentral at roughly 2 to 3 km depending on whether the measurement is straight-line or by road. Neither is walkable.
Both give two bays per unit, which is generous. Sunway d’hill gives three on its largest unit type.
No. We market e.Sentral Smart City. We have no relationship with Sunway PKNS, and all Sunway d’hill figures here come from third-party sources which we have named.
