South Link Bangsar South Review 2026: Why This Condo Is Worth Buying (or Renting)

South Link is UOA Group’s single-tower freehold development in Bangsar South, completed in July 2022. Marketed as “Linking Prestige with Affordability,” it stands out from its Bangsar South siblings for one specific reason: it comes with its own 2-storey retail podium built directly beneath the residences, including co-working space, F&B, and a convenience store.

In this review, I break down the unit types, facilities, and who this development actually suits — so you can decide whether South Link fits your lifestyle before you commit.

Figures based on active listings and recent transactions on iProperty (transactions Mar 2025–Feb 2026) as of September 2026 — these are asking/transacted prices, not guaranteed outcomes for every unit. Actual pricing varies by floor, view, and furnishing. WhatsApp Christopher for a current unit-by-unit price list from active listings.

South Link sits within Bangsar South City, close to the Kerinchi Link and Federal Highway, with a proposed walkway through KL Gateway toward Universiti LRT. It’s one of the closer Bangsar South towers to both Universiti and Kerinchi LRT stations.

Key Distances from South Link

• 🚶 Universiti LRT Station — approximately 0.7km
• 🚶 Kerinchi LRT Station — approximately 1.0km
• 🚶 Nexus Bangsar South & The Sphere — approximately 0.8km
• 🎓 University of Malaya — approximately 2.3km
• 🏥 Life Care Diagnostic Medical Centre — approximately 0.7km
• 🚗 Mid Valley Megamall — approximately 3.5km
• 🚗 Bangsar Village — approximately 4.0km
• 🛣️ Federal Highway / DUKE 3 (SPE) — directly adjacent via Kerinchi Link

Distance-wise, South Link is closer to both LRT stations than Laurel Residence, and comparable to South View — making it a strong option for tenants who genuinely prioritise transit access over a direct link bridge.

South Link’s Level 8 facility deck is compact but well-rounded, and — unlike most Bangsar South towers — it comes with its own dedicated retail podium underneath:

• 🏊 Swimming Pool, Wading Pool & Pool Deck (“Blue Oasis”)
• 🏋️ Gymnasium
• 🧘 Yoga Terrace
• 🧒 Children’s Playground
• 🔥 BBQ Area & Pantry (“Partyville”)
• 🎉 Multi-Purpose Hall
• 🕌 Surau, Rest Room & Changing Room
• 🏢 2 storeys of retail below — co-working space, F&B outlets, convenience store, entertainment/leisure lounge
• 🧹 24-hour housekeeping and maintenance service — a distinguishing feature versus most other Bangsar South condos

The in-house retail podium and 24-hour housekeeping service are what separate South Link from Novum, South View, and Laurel Residence — it’s designed to function more like a serviced residence than a standard condo.

South Link offers eight layout variants across 1,422 units — from a compact 452 sqft studio to a 904 sqft 2-bedroom-plus-study. Floor plans below are from the official developer brochure.

Types A/A1, C/C1, and D-T/E-T/F-T variants (studio and “twin” mirrored layouts) share the same core footprint with mirrored orientations depending on the stack. WhatsApp Christopher for the exact unit stack plan.

South Link is a completed, freehold, single-tower development with over three years of tenancy and resale history since July 2022 — long enough to judge on real performance, not just launch marketing.

Investment Highlights

• ✅ Freehold tenure — same as Novum and South View, better long-term value retention than leasehold Laurel Residence
• ✅ Proven transaction history — real resale data available (median RM557,500, ≈RM974 psf, Mar 2025–Feb 2026), not just launch pricing estimates
• ✅ Estimated rental yield ≈5.6% — one of the stronger yield estimates among Bangsar South’s freehold stock, per third-party market data
• ✅ Unique retail podium — co-working space, F&B, and a convenience store built directly into the development, plus 24-hour housekeeping/maintenance — genuinely differentiated from other Bangsar South condos
• ✅ Strong LRT proximity — 0.7km to Universiti LRT, comparable to South View, closer than Laurel Residence
• ✅ Wide unit range — 452 to 904 sqft across 8 types suits both entry-level investors and small families

Things to Factor In

• ⚠️ Largest unit count in the township — 1,422 units in a single tower means more competition among landlords for the same tenant pool, which can cap rental growth.
• ⚠️ No dedicated LRT link bridge — unlike South View, access to Universiti LRT is via street-level walk, not a covered bridge.
• ⚠️ Building age — completed July 2022, so slightly newer than South View (2017) but past the brand-new stage that Laurel Residence (2025) still has.

Overall, South Link suits buyers who want a proven freehold asset with real transaction history and a genuinely different amenity mix — the built-in retail podium and 24-hour service set it apart from a standard Bangsar South condo.

• 🏙️ Tenants who want retail and F&B literally downstairs — the 2-storey retail podium is a genuine convenience, not just a marketing line
• 📈 Investors who want proven data over launch-pricing guesswork — three-plus years of real resale and rental transactions to reference
• 🎓 Landlords targeting students and young professionals — the studio and 1BR+study types (Type A/A1/B) are priced for this segment specifically
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Small families looking at the 829–904 sqft Type E/F without new-launch premium pricing
