Kota Kinabalu (Feb 1) - A major new property development, 88 Avenue, is set to transform Kota Kinabalu’s real estate sector, offering a diverse range of living and investment options designed to appeal to both local homebuyers and investors. Strategically located in the Kepayan Ridge area, this large-scale mixed-use project combines residential units, serviced suites, and retail spaces into a single integrated community.
Developed with modern urban living in mind, 88 Avenue provides residents with easy access to city amenities, education, healthcare, shopping, and major transport routes. The development also integrates lifestyle and leisure facilities, including a multi-level commercial mall, making it an attractive hub for families and professionals.
Pricing at 88 Avenue reflects a wide spectrum of options to cater to different budgets and property goals:
- Studio and smaller units start from around RM332,000, ideal for first-time buyers or rental investors.
- Standard residential units such as 2-bedroom condos begin at approximately RM467,000, with prices increasing based on size and layout.
- Larger serviced residences or premium layouts range from RM600,000 to RM735,000 or more, depending on features and built-up area.
With layouts ranging from approximately 399 sq ft to 1,320 sq ft, including dual-key units that offer flexibility for rental income or multi-generational living, the development caters to a broad market segment.
The project is scheduled for completion toward the end of 2029, and its facilities are designed to enhance quality of life, featuring swimming pools, fitness centres, sky lounges, children’s play areas, and landscaped open spaces.
For Sabahans looking to buy a home, 88 Avenue offers proximity to the heart of Kota Kinabalu while supporting a balanced urban-suburban lifestyle. Entry-level pricing in the mid-RM400,000 range presents an opportunity for new homeowners to enter the property market in one of the state’s most dynamic regions. For investors, the mix of residential and serviced suites near commercial amenities, including a three-storey mall, broadens potential rental and capital-growth prospects.
Market analysts note that 88 Avenue’s pricing and location could stimulate demand in the local condominium sector, where properties have traditionally been priced higher relative to local income levels. By offering a range of price points, the development may ease entry barriers for middle-income buyers and attract more investment interest in Kota Kinabalu’s property market.
With construction underway and show units now open for viewing, 88 Avenue is fast shaping up to be a landmark address in Sabah’s evolving urban landscape, combining lifestyle, convenience, and economic opportunity for residents and investors alike.
