Shop for Rent in Bangsar

Bangsar's shop market is small and in high demand. Affluent residents, expatriates and weekend visitors from across KL keep its streets busy, so most good units are taken quickly:

• Bangsar Baru (Jalan Telawi): the heart of Bangsar for cafés, restaurants, bars and boutique retail, next to Bangsar Village and Bangsar Shopping Centre. Ground floors rent for about RM 18,000 to RM 25,000 a month for 1,760 to 2,000 sq ft. Main streets: Jalan Telawi, Jalan Telawi 2, Jalan Telawi 3 and Jalan Maarof.
• Bangsar South: a newer office and condo township around Nexus and The Sphere, with weekday lunch and after-work demand. Main streets: Jalan Kerinchi and the Jalan Bangsar end. Limited stock, ask MCE.

Beyond these hubs, Lucky Garden on Jalan Tandok and Jalan Bangkung has older shop rows with local food and services. Nearby, Damansara Heights and TTDI attract a similar crowd. The hub table above compares rent, price and tenure side by side.

From recent shop adverts (middle half, last six months), ground-floor rent in Bangsar runs by size:

• Under 1,800 sq ft: only a handful of adverts, ask MCE.
• 1,800 to 4,000 sq ft: RM 18,400 to RM 25,000 a month (RM 9.8 to RM 12.2 psf), the standard Telawi unit.
• 4,000 to 8,000 sq ft: RM 25,000 to RM 40,000 a month, usually corner or double units.
• Over 8,000 sq ft: rare, ask MCE.

For whole shoplots for sale, 1,800 to 4,000 sq ft units go for RM 4.5 million to RM 7.2 million (RM 1,429 to RM 2,000 psf) and 4,000 to 8,000 sq ft buildings for RM 5 million to RM 12 million. Larger blocks rarely come up. In Bangsar Baru, shoplots ask about RM 4.8 million to RM 8.2 million. Per square foot, Bangsar is among the most expensive shop markets in the Klang Valley.

Freehold. All 43 shoplots advertised for sale in Bangsar were freehold, with no leasehold units. Combined with very low supply, this keeps Bangsar shoplots liquid even in slow markets. Read which areas' shops hold their value in a downturn.

• Specialty cafés, brunch spots and bakeries on Jalan Telawi, busy every weekend.
• Restaurants and bars: international cuisine, wine bars and casual dining for evening crowds.
• Boutique retail and lifestyle brands near Bangsar Village.
• Aesthetic, dental and wellness clinics for high-income residents.
• Grab-and-go F&B and convenience in Bangsar South for office workers.

• Row matters: the main Telawi streets get far more footfall than back lanes. Visit at brunch, dinner and on a weekend.
• Parking: Bangsar Baru parking is tight at peak times, which affects quick-stop trades.
• DBKL approvals: confirm your trade, signboard, outdoor seating and any liquor licence with DBKL before signing.
• F&B fit-out: check exhaust routes, grease trap and three-phase power. Read why exhaust, 3-phase power and water matter.
• Deposit and costs: budget for the deposit plus tenancy stamp duty with our stamp duty calculator.
• Investors: test returns with the rental yield calculator. Owning the whole shoplot means the upper floors add a second rental income, while the ground floor suits F&B chains, banks, clinics and pharmacies.

The prices on this page are market ranges from public adverts. With so few shoplots in Bangsar, the best units, such as corner lots on Jalan Telawi, are usually offered privately to people already in touch with MCE before they reach any portal. Read how to get a shop lot before it is advertised.

WhatsApp MCE with your trade, size and budget, and we will send you Bangsar units that are not online yet.
