What to check before choosing

Construction progress: GenStarz and The Atas Residences are not yet completed, so check the latest stage of work against the expected date.
Lease term: The Atas Residences is leasehold, so confirm how many years remain on the title.
Parking allocation can differ by unit type, so get the answer for your unit in writing rather than for the project as a whole.
Maintenance: multiply each rate by the size of the unit you are looking at, so you compare real monthly bills rather than rates.
The prices here are developer list prices; get the latest price list before you commit to a unit.
Foreign buyers: a purchase in KL needs consent from the land authority, so allow time for it in your plan.

Work out stamp duty and legal fees

Which one I would point you to.

On holding cost, GenStarz is the lighter one at RM0.38psf (including sinking fund) against Estimate RM0.40psf including sinking fund; on a 1,000 sq ft unit that difference runs to a few hundred ringgit a month, every month. GenStarz is the quieter building at 360 units against 624, which shows up in lift waits and how busy the facilities feel. GenStarz has the lower entry price at RM 593,000, though the layout you end up choosing matters more than the headline figure. GenStarz is freehold, so there is no lease to renew. Either way, ask for the current price list and walk both before you decide — I can arrange that.
