What we found

Sunway Palazzio in Sri Hartamas was developed by Sunway City Bhd, a subsidiary of the Sunway Group, and completed in April 2010.

The evidence

Regulatory and legal

Negative

The Federal Court on 20 January 2023 set aside the planning permission that Penang Island City Council had granted to Sunway City (Pg) Sdn Bhd for a 600-home hill-land scheme at Sungai Ara, holding that the council had acted beyond its powers and that its use of the pelan dasar lacked the public participation required by the Town and Country Planning Act 1976; the adverse findings were made against the council rather than against the developer's conduct, and the entity involved is a Penang project company, not the Kuala Lumpur residential entity.

2 more findings

The Vibes records that the Sungai Ara dispute ran through an Appeals Board decision on 20 November 2015 that the council had wrongly granted approval, then a High Court decision in May 2017 and a Court of Appeal decision on 21 May 2021 that both sided with Sunway City and the council, before the residents' further appeal; the report discusses the council's regulatory decisions and makes no allegation about the developer's conduct.
On 7 May, the Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed an appeal by Sungai Ara residents. It upheld the Penang High Court's decision allowing Sunway City (Penang) Sdn Bhd to build the Sunway Hills housing scheme on hilly land, with no order as to costs. This was a planning dispute with residents, not a homebuyer claim.

Corporate continuity

Positive

Sunway Property, the real estate arm of Sunway Group, achieved RM3.8 billion in sales in 2025 against a RM3.6 billion target, up from RM3.0 billion in 2024 and RM2.4 billion in 2023, and held RM9.5 billion in unbilled revenue as at 31 December 2025.

One more finding

Shareholders of Sunway Holdings Bhd and Sunway City Bhd approved selling both companies' assets and liabilities to Sunway Bhd at their EGMs. This merged the two under one larger company due to list on Bursa Malaysia.

Independent recognition

Positive

A property news article reports that two residential precincts at Sunway City Iskandar Puteri, Sunway Lenang Heights and Sunway Citrine Lakehomes, scored 90 per cent and 89 per cent respectively under CIDB's QLASSIC construction quality assessment, recognised at an event on 20 October 2022; the underlying assessment is by CIDB, though the article reads as a reproduced developer press release and the projects are in Johor rather than Kuala Lumpur.
