Sunrise @ Gurney answers a narrow question: what's the smallest, cheapest way to own a sea-view home on the Gurney Drive seafront? The answer is a duplex of about 800 to 1,000 sq ft, from about RM1.25M. The catch is the title. Sunrise was the first commercial development on the Gurney seafront, so these homes sit on commercial land.

Primo Corporation completed the 29-storey tower in 2016. It's freehold, with a four-storey podium of cafés, restaurants and shops at the base, and a sky lounge, gym and open-air infinity pool for residents. Portal data puts it at about 78 homes.

Key takeaways:

Freehold, commercial title, completed 2016 on Persiaran Gurney.
Sea-view duplexes of about 794–980 sq ft, listed from about RM1.25M to RM1.9M in 2026.
Open to foreign buyers; rents of about RM2,500–4,500 a month.
Compact homes: great for a couple or a pied-à-terre, wrong for a family.

What you're actually buying

The units are duplexes, with living space below and a bedroom area above, designed as homes you could also work from. Most are under 1,000 sq ft, so they're compact, and the double-height layout makes them feel bigger than the number suggests. Most face the sea.

That makes Sunrise a good fit for a couple, a single professional, or someone who wants a Gurney base they use part of the year. It isn't a family home. If you need three bedrooms on Gurney, look at the larger buildings below.

Prices and rents

Listings in 2026 ran from about RM1.25M to RM1.9M. On a small unit, that's a high price per square foot. You're paying for the seafront address, the view and a 2016 building rather than for space.

Portal guide rents run about RM2,500 to RM4,500 a month. On a RM1.3M purchase, RM3,500 a month is about 3.2% gross before costs. It's a lifestyle buy more than a yield play.

The commercial-title question

Commercial title doesn't stop you living there, but it changes some of the costs. Utilities and assessment may be billed at commercial rates, some banks lend less against commercial property, and a few buyers screen out commercial title altogether, which can narrow your resale market.

None of that has to be a dealbreaker. Ask the management how electricity is billed, ask your bank what it will lend on this title, and price the difference in before you offer.

How it compares on Gurney

1 Persiaran Gurney: residential title, completed 1988, homes of about 1,580 sq ft and up from about RM1.4M. Much more space for similar money, in a far older building.
Setia V Residences: completed 2017, homes of about 1,400 sq ft and up from about RM1.58M. The step up if you want a newer building and room for a family.
11 Gurney Drive: residential title, completed 2007, homes of about 3,500 sq ft from about RM2.7M.

Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

Sunrise @ Gurney is the compact way into the Gurney seafront: a sea-view duplex in a 2016 tower from about RM1.25M. It suits a couple or a part-time resident. If you need space, older residential-title buildings on the same road give you far more for the money. Check the commercial-title costs and your bank's lending terms before you commit.
