Brickfields and KL Sentral: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

After the fire and flood of 1881, all new buildings in Kuala Lumpur had to be made of brick and tile. Kapitan Yap Ah Loy bought this land for brick-making, and the clay pits gave Brickfields its name. Later the main railway depot of the Malayan Railway was here, and workers brought from Sri Lanka settled around it. That is the root of the Indian community today.

The old marshalling yard is now KL Sentral, a 290,000 m² development with the station, hotels, offices, condos and the NU Sentral mall. Away from the station there are still old railway quarters on Jalan Rozario and small village-style houses between the towers.

Brickfields is in the Bukit Bintang parliament seat (P.120), which has polling districts named Brickfields Utara, Brickfields Selatan and Jalan Tun Sambanthan. KL Sentral is listed with Brickfields in that seat. For the whole seat the median household earned RM 10,966 a month in 2024 (DOSM). The seat stretches from KLCC to Salak Selatan, so this is not a Brickfields figure.

In NAPIC sales in the 15 buildings we matched here, a condominium or serviced residence sold for a median of RM 481 psf in 2024 (31 sales) and RM 442 psf in 2025. In 2023 it was RM 496 psf from 51 sales. With this few sales a year, the median moves with which buildings happened to sell.
