Shop for Rent in Kota Damansara

Kota Damansara's shops sit in one large commercial belt, PJU 5, so the choice is about which pocket and which row:

• Kota Damansara PJU 5: the main hub, covering Dataran Sunway, The Strand, Sunway Giza and the rows near SEGi University and the Surian MRT. Main streets: the Jalan PJU 5 rows, Jalan Teknologi and Persiaran Surian.

Within PJU 5, each pocket has its own pattern:

• Dataran Sunway: the longest-running cluster, with dense F&B, banks and clinics and steady all-day traffic.
• The Strand and Encorp Strand: lifestyle dining and cafés with evening and weekend crowds.
• Sunway Giza: a compact block of shops beside offices and condominiums.
• Near SEGi and the MRT: student-heavy rows for budget meals, drinks and quick services.

The hub table above shows rent, price and tenure. For nearby options, compare Petaling Jaya, including Bandar Utama & Ara Damansara, and Kepong with Bandar Sri Damansara.

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

• Under 1,800 sq ft: RM 8,000 to RM 11,500 a month (RM 5.4 to RM 7.2 psf), the most common unit.
• 1,800 to 4,000 sq ft: RM 12,000 to RM 33,000 a month. The range is wide because corner and double units on the busiest rows ask far more than inner units.
• Over 4,000 sq ft: only a few adverts, ask MCE for current deals.

For whole shoplots, 1,800 to 4,000 sq ft units sell for RM 1.75 million to RM 2.48 million, typical 4,000 to 8,000 sq ft shoplots for RM 2.68 million to RM 4.3 million, and blocks over 8,000 sq ft for RM 7.6 million to RM 12.5 million. Compare other areas on the shop rent index.

Mostly leasehold. Of the shoplots advertised for sale, only 9 were freehold and 101 leasehold. Leasehold titles cost less per square foot than freehold PJ sections, but check the remaining lease, because banks lend less as the lease shortens, and consent to transfer adds time to a purchase.

• F&B for students and young workers: cafés, bubble tea, Korean and Japanese casual dining, mamak and late-night eateries.
• Family dining and bakeries around Dataran Sunway and The Strand.
• Clinics, dental and pharmacies serving the growing housing and condominium population.
• Convenience chains, laundromats and phone repair near SEGi and the MRT.
• Gyms, salons and pet grooming for young residents.

Read bubble tea location: near colleges or near housing? before you pick a row.

• Pocket and row: footfall differs a lot between Dataran Sunway, The Strand and outer PJU 5 rows; visit at lunch, dinner and weekends.
• Student calendar: student-led rows slow down in semester breaks.
• Parking: popular rows fill fast at meal times.
• Council approvals: Kota Damansara is under MBPJ; confirm your trade, signboard and outdoor seating.
• Lease and costs: check the remaining lease before buying, and budget for the deposit and tenancy stamp duty with our stamp duty calculator.
• Investors: run the numbers with the rental yield calculator and shoplot loan calculator. Banks, pharmacies, clinics and F&B chains suit the ground floor, and owning the whole shoplot means the upper floors add a second rental income.

The prices on this page are market ranges from public adverts. The best units, such as corner lots in Dataran Sunway or frontage facing the main PJU 5 roads, are usually offered privately to people already in touch with MCE before they reach a portal.

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