Where is Wangsa Maju and what is it known for?
Wangsa Maju is a planned township in north-east Kuala Lumpur, east of Setapak, laid out in numbered sections. Its heart is Wangsa Walk Mall on Jalan Wangsa Perdana 1, now under Sunway, which sits a short walk from the Sri Rampai LRT station. The Wangsa Maju LRT station serves the older sections and the Desa Setapak side. The township is mainly residential, with a mix of low-cost flats, condominiums and terrace homes, so demand is driven by families rather than offices. Its Ramadan bazaar is one of the better known in the city.
Main shop streets: Jalan Wangsa Delima, Jalan Dataran Wangsa at Dataran Wangsa, Jalan 1/27B and Jalan 14/27B around Desa Setapak, Jalan 2A/27A near the Wangsa Maju LRT, and Jalan Seri Wangsa in Taman Sri Rampai.
How much is shop rent in Wangsa Maju?
Wangsa Maju has a healthy number of shop adverts, so the ranges below are a fair guide for standard intermediate shoplots.
| Type | Typical range | Typical size | Per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rent (ground floor) | RM 6,000 to RM 11,000 a month | 1,540 to 2,080 sq ft | RM 3.60 to RM 5.80 psf |
| Sale (whole shoplot) | RM 1.84 million to RM 4.3 million | 2,730 to 6,500 sq ft | RM 551 to RM 833 psf |
Typical (middle half of recent adverts), from 76 rent and 72 sale listings in the last six months. Tenure of sale units: freehold and leasehold.
Both freehold and leasehold units are on the market (40 freehold and 31 leasehold adverts), so compare tenure as well as price. The sale range is wide because it mixes two-storey rows with larger four-storey and corner units, so compare on price per sq ft.
Units near the LRT stations and Wangsa Walk, corner lots and main-road frontage ask at the top of the range; inner rows sit lower. Asking prices are not final deals, so there is usually room to negotiate.
Which ground-floor businesses do well in Wangsa Maju?
- Malay, mamak and nasi kandar restaurants: a large local population eats out from breakfast to late night.
- Bakery, cafe and dessert: steady family and commuter takeaway trade near the stations.
- Pharmacy, clinic, dental and optical: dense housing needs everyday healthcare within walking distance.
- Convenience store, mini market and laundromat: practical services for flats and condominiums.
- Phone shop, barber and beauty salon: repeat neighbourhood customers.
What should tenants and investors check before signing?
- Walking route: footfall concentrates on the paths between the LRT stations, Wangsa Walk and the flats; a unit one row away can be much quieter.
- Ramadan bazaar: the bazaar season brings large crowds but can block frontage and parking, so ask how your row is affected.
- Fit-out for F&B: check exhaust routing, grease trap, water supply and three-phase power.
- Licensing: Wangsa Maju falls under DBKL; confirm approved use, signage and any outdoor seating.
- Investment: compare tenure and remaining lease years alongside price. Buying the whole shoplot adds rental income from the upper floors, and ground floors attract covenant tenants such as banks, convenience chains, pharmacies, clinics and F&B chains.
