Sri Hartamas, mainly the Desa Sri Hartamas shoplot grid, is a dense commercial neighbourhood next to Mont Kiara in Kuala Lumpur, famous for its restaurants, cafés, bars and late-night dining.

What to check before renting or buying a shop in Mont Kiara?
- Parking and access: with no rail link, customers drive, so check basement or street parking and the one-way loops around Solaris and Sri Hartamas.
- Footfall by block: corner blocks on the main loops are busy; inner lanes are quiet on weekdays. Visit at lunch, dinner and on a weekend.
- DBKL approvals: confirm your trade, signboard, outdoor seating and any liquor licence with DBKL before signing.
- Strata rules: for strata shop offices, check management fees, signage rules and permitted trades with the management body.
- 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.
