Jalan Jejaka Cheras Shops for Rent & Sale

Jalan Jejaka is the main shop street of Taman Maluri, one of the Cheras neighbourhoods closest to central Kuala Lumpur. Its shophouse rows sit within walking distance of AEON Taman Maluri and the Maluri station, an interchange between the LRT Sri Petaling and Ampang lines and the MRT Kajang Line. Sunway Velocity and MyTOWN are next door, and the streets around are a mix of older terrace homes and newer condominiums, so the area has both long-time residents and young working households.

The stretches closest to AEON and the Maluri station see the most people on foot, because commuters and shoppers pass by throughout the day. Corner lots facing Jalan Jejaka itself are the most visible and ask the most. Rows further from the mall and station rely more on the surrounding housing, which suits neighbourhood trades such as kopitiam, clinics and laundries. Shops that face the main traffic flow do better for brands that need to be seen.

Based on the middle half of recent adverts, whole shoplots on Jalan Jejaka sell for RM 2.18 million to RM 2.46 million for about 6,130 to 7,040 sq ft of built-up area. That is a low price per sq ft for a location this close to the city, partly because the buildings are older and all recent sale adverts were leasehold, so check the remaining lease years carefully. Ground-floor rental adverts were too few in the last six months to quote a fair range. For area figures see the Cheras shop rent page and Cheras shoplots for sale, and ask MCE for current units.
