Funny thing is in the promotional materials Sunway made zero mention of Pasar Seni and Merdeka. They ask you to take the monorail to nearby stations (Hang Tuah/Bukit Bintang/KL Sentral) for LRT/MRT interchanges. I guess that’s because it would be faster this way than if you walk all the way to Pasar Seni or Merdeka MRT.
I’m actually skeptical about the walking distance to Merdeka 118. It seems near, but not exactly within walking distance near.
Agreed that the monorail is closer at around 400m, but if you have taken monorail in the past, it's train frequency is equivalent to that of the KTM, which is quite slow at 15 mins or more. Only recently was this reduced to 5 mins frequency during peak hours. But still pales in comparison to the LRT and MRT, which can achieve 6-7 mins frequency during non-peak hours and 2-3 mins during peak hours.I’m actually skeptical about the walking distance to Merdeka 118.

You're right that they're leveraging on the monorail as the main public transit option.
But if I was a resident in this project and my workplace is at KL118, it'll be much easier to just walk there (although far) rather than take the monorail all the way back to KL Sentral, then walk some more to the MRT just to reach the Merdeka MRT station. Better still if there is a covered walkway built from the Kuan Yin temple all the way to one of the KL118 entrance.
