Bangsar Baru (Jalan Telawi) Shops for Rent & Sale

Bangsar Baru is the commercial heart of Bangsar, a leafy, affluent suburb just west of the city centre. The Jalan Telawi streets are lined with low-rise shoplots housing cafés, bistros, bakeries, boutiques and wellness businesses, next to the Bangsar Village malls. The surrounding bungalows and condominiums house high income families and expats, while the area also draws visitors from across KL for brunch and evening dining. Good units are rarely vacant for long.

Trade is concentrated on Jalan Telawi and its numbered side rows such as Jalan Telawi 2 and Jalan Telawi 3, the café and bistro strip next to Bangsar Village. The rows along Jalan Maarof, facing Bangsar Shopping Centre, add main-road frontage for banks, clinics and larger F&B. Units on the Telawi corners and opposite the malls are the hardest to secure.

Ground-floor shops in Bangsar Baru typically rent for RM 18,000 to RM 25,000 a month, and whole shoplots typically sell for RM 4.8 million to RM 8.2 million.

Typical range = middle half of shop adverts from the last 6 months (bait prices and duplicates removed), based on 29 rental and 24 sale adverts. These are market ranges: prime units are usually offered privately first to people who contact MCE.

Tenure: all 25 recent sale adverts that state tenure are freehold.

Unit sizes are very consistent because most rows are standard Telawi shoplots, so the rent spread mostly reflects position: prime Telawi corners and units facing the malls ask at or above the top of the range. Sale prices for whole shoplots are among the highest per square foot in KL, and every recent sale advert that states tenure is freehold.

Premium positioning and lifestyle appeal matter most on the ground floor here.

• Specialty cafés and artisan bakeries, the signature trade of Bangsar
• International and Japanese restaurants and wine bistros
• Aesthetic clinics and dental clinics
• Fashion retail and lifestyle boutiques
• Dessert, gelato and premium bubble tea
• Pharmacies, optical shops and pet shops serving affluent households

• Parking is a well known challenge in Bangsar Baru. Check how your customers will park or arrive, especially at weekend brunch and dinner.
• Rents are high, so model your sales carefully and ask for a rent free fit-out period where possible.
• Bangsar is under DBKL. Check approval for your use, signboard and any outdoor seating before signing.
• Read the tenancy terms closely: the usual deposit is two months security plus one month utility, and a renewal option (for example 3+3 years) protects your fit-out investment.
• Buying a whole shoplot? Owning the whole shoplot means the upper floors add a second rental income while the ground floor goes to a walk-in trade. Covenant tenants such as banks, convenience chains, pharmacies, clinics and F&B chains give the most stable rent.

Bangsar Baru is a short drive from Bangsar LRT station on the Kelana Jaya Line, Mid Valley and the Federal Highway, and connects easily to Damansara Heights and the city centre. Nearby hubs include Bangsar South, Taman Desa and Mid Valley.
