Orion Residence scorecard

Six sub-scores from 0 to 10, each with its formula and inputs. Data-based, not a recommendation; there is no overall total.

• Price vs area: 0.0 / 10 — Lowest asking RM 2,707 psf vs median RM 1,605 psf of 4 other new launches in Bukit Bintang: +69%. Formula: 5 − (gap % ÷ 5), kept within 0–10. Gap = this project's lowest asking psf against the median lowest asking psf of the other new launches in the same locality (needs 2 or more). Parity = 5; every 5% cheaper adds a point.
• Rail access: 10.0 / 10 — 5 min to KG18A Bukit Bintang, 435 m on foot (OSM route). Formula: 10 − (walk minutes − 5) ÷ 2, kept within 0–10. Five minutes or less = 10; 25 minutes or more = 0. Walk = measured OpenStreetMap route where one exists, otherwise straight-line × 1.3 at 80 m a minute.
• Density: 9.4 / 10 — 298 units ÷ 46 floors = 6.5 a floor; 136 of 144 other projects pack more. Formula: 10 × share of the portal's projects that put more homes on each floor (units ÷ floors). Fewer homes per floor scores higher.
• Supply pressure in area: not scored — Not enough data on record. Formula: 10 × (1 − pipeline ÷ 50%), kept within 0–10. Pipeline = condominium/apartment units under construction plus planned, as a share of the units already standing (NAPIC stock table). 0% = 10; 50% or more = 0.
• Affordability vs district income: 0.0 / 10 — RM 1,450,000 ÷ (RM 10,234 × 12), W.P. Kuala Lumpur 2022: 11.8 years. Formula: 10 − 1.5 × (years − 3), kept within 0–10. Years = entry price ÷ (median monthly household income × 12) for the district (DOSM). Three years or less = 10.
• Developer record: not scored — Not enough data on record. Formula: 10, minus 5 for each sick project, 10 for each abandoned project and 3 for each entry on the TEDUH offence list; minus 2 when TEDUH lists fewer than 2 projects (short record). Not scored until the developer is looked up on TEDUH.
