Sungai Besi and Bandar Tasik Selatan: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

Sungai Besi ("Steel River") grew around tin mining; the Sungei Besi tin mine was once among the largest and deepest open-cast tin mines in the world. The old town still has wooden village houses, a Chinese temple founded in 1901, wet markets and seafood shops along Jalan Suasa. The Sungai Besi Airport was Kuala Lumpur's main airport until 1965 and later an air force base, which closed in 2018 to make way for the Bandar Malaysia project. That project has since been postponed indefinitely.

Bandar Tasik Selatan ("South Lake City") was set up in 1991. Most of this area is in the Bandar Tun Razak seat, whose polling districts include Pekan Sungai Besi, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Desa Tun Razak and Kem Tentera. Two pieces fall elsewhere: Razak Mansion is in the Bukit Bintang seat, and Kampung Sungai Besi is in the Seputeh seat.

The median household in the Bandar Tun Razak seat earned RM 9,360 a month in 2024 and RM 8,769 in 2022 (DOSM), below the Kuala Lumpur median of RM 10,802. The seat also covers Bandar Tun Razak and Sri Permaisuri in the east.

Sales are few in the 9 buildings we matched here. A condominium or apartment sold for a median of RM 372 psf in 2024 (12 sales) and RM 436 psf in 2025 (13 sales). Low-cost flats sold for a median of RM 250,000 in 2024.
