SS2 Petaling Jaya Shops for Rent & Sale

SS2 sits in the heart of Petaling Jaya, close to Taman Paramount, SEA Park and Damansara Jaya. It is one of the original PJ townships, with a large grid of shoplots surrounded by dense landed housing. SS2 is best known for its food: hawker style restaurants, dim sum, seafood, Korean and Japanese outlets, desserts and late-night supper spots, plus a famous weekly night market. Banks, clinics, pharmacies and retail fill the remaining frontages, giving the area all-day footfall.

Jalan SS2/24 is the main through road on the SEA Park side, with banks, showrooms and busy eateries on its frontage. The famous food rows sit on Jalan SS2/66 and Jalan SS2/67, packed with restaurants, Korean and Japanese outlets and supper spots, while Jalan SS2/75 near Murni has banks and more late-night dining. Smaller inner rows off these streets are quieter and cheaper.

Ground-floor shops in SS2 typically rent for RM 10,000 to RM 17,000 a month, and whole shoplots typically sell for RM 3.35 million to RM 11 million.

Typical range = middle half of shop adverts from the last 6 months (bait prices and duplicates removed), based on 78 rental and 89 sale adverts. These are market ranges: prime units are usually offered privately first to people who contact MCE.

Tenure: sale stock is mostly freehold (81 freehold and 8 leasehold among recent sale adverts that state tenure). For leasehold units, check the remaining lease before you buy.

The spread is wide because it includes both standard intermediate shoplots and larger corner or main road units. Main road frontage, corners and lots on the busiest food streets ask at the top end and occasionally beyond, and the upper sale figures include larger corner lots.

• F&B of all kinds: Chinese restaurants, dim sum, noodle shops and seafood are SS2 staples.
• Mala, hotpot and Japanese or Korean F&B: draw younger diners from across PJ.
• Bubble tea and dessert: evening and supper crowds support multiple outlets.
• Bakery and specialty café: strong morning and weekend trade.
• 24h convenience store and pharmacy: late-night activity keeps these formats busy.
• Clinic, dental and optical: dense surrounding homes give steady demand.
• Bank and money changer: SS2 is an established banking location.
• Self-service laundromat and pet shop: practical services for residents.

• Parking: SS2 parking is tight at meal times; the night market day also affects access on certain streets.
• Food street versus quiet row: footfall varies a lot street to street; observe your shortlisted row at lunch, dinner and on weekends.
• Fit-out for F&B: check exhaust routing, grease trap and electrical capacity, especially in older shoplots.
• Licensing: SS2 falls under MBPJ; confirm approved use, signage and any outdoor seating.
• Investment: SS2 whole shoplots have very deep tenant demand and good resale liquidity. Owning the whole shoplot means the upper floors add a second rental income, and ground floors attract covenant tenants such as banks, convenience chains, pharmacies, clinics and F&B chains.

SS2 is reached via the LDP and the Federal Highway, and the LRT Taman Paramount station on the Kelana Jaya Line is a short drive away. Nearby hubs include Taman Paramount, Damansara Uptown, Damansara Utama (SS21) and Jaya One.
