Damansara Uptown Shops for Rent & Sale

Damansara Uptown sits in SS21, Petaling Jaya, next to the older Damansara Utama shoplots and a short drive from Bandar Utama, TTDI and Mutiara Damansara. It is a mix of shoplots and office towers, home to many corporate offices, banks and one of the busiest food scenes in PJ. Lunch hour fills the restaurants with office staff, and evenings bring families and young professionals from the surrounding housing estates.

Damansara Uptown is laid out as a square. The inner square of Jalan SS21/37, Jalan SS21/39, Jalan SS21/58 and Jalan SS21/60 holds most of the office towers, banks and long-running eateries, while the outer ring on Jalan SS21/1A, Jalan SS21/35 and Jalan SS21/56B is mostly older shop offices that share the Damansara Utama address. Jalan SS21/37 and Jalan SS21/39 are the busiest food streets at lunch and dinner.

Ground-floor shops in Damansara Uptown typically rent for RM 10,500 to RM 17,000 a month, and whole shoplots typically sell for RM 3.5 million to RM 6.3 million.

Typical range = middle half of shop adverts from the last 6 months (bait prices and duplicates removed), based on 53 rental and 59 sale adverts. These are market ranges: prime units are usually offered privately first to people who contact MCE.

Tenure: sale stock is mostly freehold (47 freehold and 12 leasehold among recent sale adverts that state tenure). For leasehold units, check the remaining lease before you buy.

The spread reflects a mix of compact shoplots and larger, wider units. Units on the inner square and around the busiest food streets ask at the top of the range, while larger units in quieter corners rent for less per sq ft.

• Mala, hotpot and Japanese or Korean F&B: the young office crowd keeps these concepts busy at lunch and dinner.
• Specialty café and bakery: breakfast and afternoon coffee for office workers and residents.
• Bubble tea and dessert: high impulse demand from office staff and students.
• Bank and money changer: Uptown is an established banking address.
• Pharmacy, clinic and dental: strong demand from both workers and families.
• Aesthetic clinic and optical: suit the professional, image-conscious customer base.
• 24h convenience store and self-service laundromat: daily needs for residents and workers.

• Parking: parking is famously tight at lunch and dinner; check how your customers will park or whether nearby paid car parks help.
• Lunch versus evening: some streets peak at lunch with office workers, others at dinner; match the street to your concept.
• Frontage: main road and corner units gain visibility; inner units need stronger branding.
• Licensing: Damansara Uptown falls under MBPJ; confirm your use, signage and any outdoor seating before signing.
• Investment: Uptown whole shoplots have deep tenant demand. Owning the whole shoplot means the upper floors add a second rental income, while ground floors attract covenant tenants such as banks, convenience chains, pharmacies, clinics and F&B chains for long, stable leases.

Damansara Uptown is reached via the LDP and the Sprint Highway, and the MRT Bandar Utama station on the Kajang Line is a short drive away. Nearby hubs include Damansara Utama (SS21), TTDI, SS2 Petaling Jaya and Taman Paramount.
