Fast facts
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Grade | A (premium, low-density; consistent in Sime Darby / Hartamas marketing) |
| Completed | January 2023 |
| NLA | ~146,026 sq ft (a dated broker listing) — 186,370 sq ft in Sime Darby / Hartamas marketing video (discrepancy unresolved; the 186,370 likely includes common areas / mall-adjacent GFA) |
| Floor plate | ~10,086 sq ft typical (17 typical floors) + ~14,908 sq ft duplex penthouse |
| Efficiency (net:gross) | Not in public sources. Building management call required. |
| Asking rent (gross/net flag) | RM 5.26 – RM 6.00 psf/month (mostly bare, unfurnished; verify gross vs net per quote) |
| Asking vs effective rent spread | Not in public sources. Closed-deal tracking required. |
| Service charge (RM psf/mo) | Not in public sources for the office tower. Market reference for KLCC-area luxury towers (not KLGCC-specific): RM 0.95–1.50 psf + 10% sinking fund. Building management call required (Sime Darby Property leasing +603-7728 4773 or Hartamas Corporate +603-7839 5599). |
| Car park (ratio, rate, visitor) | 1 bay per 1,000 sq ft (allocation); ~350 bays for the office tower. Tenant monthly season rate: not in public sources. KLGCC Mall visitor parking is free at Levels LG, B1–B3 — but that is the mall's policy, NOT the office tower's reserved-bay policy. |
| After-hours AC rate | Not in public sources. Building management call required. |
| MD / Malaysia Digital status | No MSC Cybercentre / MD status located in public sources. |
| Green cert | GBI Certified per Sime Darby / Hartamas marketing; a direct GBI portfolio entry for Menara KLGCC was NOT located on greenbuildingindex.org — confirm with Sime Darby Property leasing before relying on a green-tenant premium. |
| Anchor / tenant roster | No public office-tower tenant roster (18 strata units, individually sold; individual buyers not listed in the sources reviewed). Mall anchors (NOT office tenants): Jaya Grocer, Serai Group, ACE Hardware, Asia Ballet Academy, HarborLand (first Malaysia outlet). |

What you'll actually pay (TCO, 5,000 sq ft, 3-year stay, asking)
| Line item | RM / month | RM / psf / month | Source / basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base rent (RM 5.50 psf asking) | 27,500 | 5.50 | 6+ listing sources, median 5,000 sf bare |
| Service charge (estimate RM 1.20 psf — KLCC luxury reference, NOT KLGCC-specific) | 6,000 | 1.20 | KLCC-area luxury reference (RM 0.95–1.50 + sinking fund); KLGCC office-tower-specific: not in public sources — must confirm with Sime Darby Property leasing |
| Car park (5 bays @ RM 230 reserved — KL Bangsar reference) | 1,150 | 0.23 | Season rate unverified; KL Bukit Kiara reference RM 200–400/bay/mo |
| After-hours AC (none budgeted) | 0 | 0.00 | Rate unverified; budget RM 800/floor/hour if your team runs late |
| Utilities estimate (RM 0.80 psf) | 4,000 | 0.80 | Office-grade electricity + water estimate |
| Subtotal (excl. SST) | 38,650 | 7.73 | |
| SST 8% (commercial rent only) | 2,200 | 0.44 | SST on rent, not on service charge |
| Total all-in (gross, with reference SC) | 40,850 | 8.17 |
Caveat: the service-charge line is the single biggest TCO swing here. If the building's actual SC is at the low end (RM 0.95 psf), your 5,000 sf TCO drops by ~RM 1,250/month (~RM 15,000/year). If at the high end (RM 1.50 psf + 10% sinking), it rises by ~RM 1,650/month (~RM 19,800/year). Confirm with Sime Darby Property leasing before you model the deal.
Upfront cash (3+2+1 deposit, KL Grade A norm, strata-by-strata):
- 3 months security + 2 months utility deposit + 1 month advance rent = 6 months gross rent equivalent
- 5,000 sq ft × RM 5.50 psf × 6 months = RM 165,000 cash on day one (before fit-out, agency fee, and stamping).
- Fit-out (corporate standard RM 90–150 psf): RM 450,000 – RM 750,000 one-off.
- Stamp duty on tenancy: per 2025 rules, RM 1 / RM 3 / RM 5 / RM 7 per RM 250 of annual rent, rising by term length — confirm with LHDN e-Duti Setem at execution.
- For MNC / high-covenant tenants, some KL Grade A landlords accept a bank guarantee in place of a cash security deposit; Menara KLGCC is a strata building, so this is strata-owner-by-strata-owner — request it in writing before paying deposit. [GEMINI-1] — confirm with the individual strata owner / Sime Darby Property leasing.
Will my team fit here?
| Scenario | Sq ft needed (150 sq ft / pax) | Sq ft needed (100 sq ft / pax) | How it fits Menara KLGCC | All-in monthly (RM 5.50 psf + RM 1.20 psf reference SC, no OT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 pax | 3,000 sf | 2,000 sf | Single strata unit (3,566 sf minimum listed) | RM 28,000 – RM 35,000/mo |
| 50 pax | 7,500 sf | 5,000 sf | Single 5,000–5,266 sf unit, or 10,086 sf half-floor (sub-let to one tenant) | RM 40,000 – RM 75,000/mo |
| 100 pax | 15,000 sf | 10,000 sf | Single 10,086 sf full-floor (tight at 100 pax) — most likely one full floor + a 5,000 sf second unit | RM 75,000 – RM 130,000/mo |
Menara KLGCC's 10,086 sf typical floor plate makes single-floor-occupancy realistic for teams of 50–80 pax; the 14,908 sf penthouse handles larger occupiers. 100-pax teams on a 150 sq ft / pax density would need a second unit; on 100 sq ft / pax (lean), one full floor fits.
Transit reality
No walkable MRT/LRT. The building sits in Bukit Kiara, ~2 miles / 4.3 km from the nearest stations (Pusat Bandar Damansara SBK13, Phileo Damansara SBK12, Semantan SBK14). The building operates a shuttle bus to MRT Semantan and MRT Phileo Damansara (per Sime Darby Property leasing). The site fronts the SPRINT Highway with access to LDP and NKVE expressways.
- Drive / e-hailing: fronting SPRINT Highway is the realistic access mode. Expect normal KL peak-hour traffic on the SPRINT / LDP interchange during 8:00–9:30am and 5:30–7:00pm.
- Buses: no RapidKL stop within walkable distance; shuttle bus is the practical public-transit option.
- Walkability for staff who don't drive: weakest of any building in this wave. The shuttle frequency and MRT connections should be tested in person before signing — confirm the shuttle schedule with Sime Darby Property leasing.
Who's in the building
Menara KLGCC has no publicly-disclosed office tower tenant roster. The 18 strata units are individually owned and individually sold / leased; individual buyers and lessees are not listed in the sources reviewed. a dated broker listing, a dated broker listing and a dated broker listing list individual units (3,566 sf up to 80,688 sf) without naming the existing or previous tenant in most listings.
For integrated-development context (NOT office tower tenants): the adjacent KLGCC Mall's confirmed anchor tenants (Sime Darby Property 23 Jan 2025 press release) are Jaya Grocer (gourmet concept), Serai Group (Level 4 lifestyle / dining with Serai Event Hall), ACE Hardware, Asia Ballet Academy, and the first HarborLand (Thai indoor playland) Malaysia outlet. The mall soft-opened October 2025 at 90% occupancy (Sime Darby). Do not list mall tenants as office tower tenants — they are separate components of the integrated KLGCC Resort development.
Lease risk & exit mechanics
Reinstatement cost at exit: Not in public sources. KLCC market reference: RM 15–40 psf to return to bare condition. Strata-bought units often carry custom fit-out — reinstatement cost is on the tenant. Get a written reinstatement scope and condition benchmark before paying deposit.
Break clause (typical KL Grade A norm): Not in public sources for Menara KLGCC. Market reference: 100–150% of remaining term's rent as a penalty, or a negotiated 6-month soft-landing buyout after Year 3. With strata title, this is per-strata-owner.
Diplomatic clause (foreign-tenant early exit): Not in public sources for Menara KLGCC. General market practice reported: 12-month lock-in, 2-month written notice, documentary evidence of relocation / visa cancellation, tenant still liable for rent during the notice period, no offset against deposit. [GEMINI-1] — confirm with the specific strata owner before signing. Foreign directors should also expect a director's personal guarantee request.
Fair wear and tear vs damage: the standard ambiguity. Insist on a photographic move-in / move-out inventory (with timestamp, building management acknowledgement) — this is your only protection when the deposit is contested. For unreturned-deposit disputes, the small-claims track (Writ of Summons, Form 198) is the cited recourse. [GEMINI-1] — confirm the current court / tribunal path at filing time.
Rent escalation & review: Not in public sources for Menara KLGCC. KL Grade A strata norm is fixed-step escalation at renewal (5–10% per cycle) — confirm in the individual strata owner's Tenancy Agreement.
Malaysia Digital / MSC status
No MSC Cybercentre or Malaysia Digital status located for Menara KLGCC in public sources. MD status since 25 March 2022 is company-activity-based, not building-bound — your company can apply for MD status from any compliant office, but only ~13% of MD companies actually sit in MD-certified premises. Broker folklore claiming building-level MD designation is misleading; verify the company level via MDEC, not the building. If MD tax incentives matter to your tenancy decision, the building is not a blocker — your application is.
Compare: 3 same-submarket (Bukit Kiara / Damansara fringe) peers
| Building | Grade | Asking rent (RM psf) | Walk to MRT | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Menara KLGCC (this page) | A, low-density strata | 5.26 – 6.00 | No walkable MRT (shuttle to MRT Semantan / Phileo Damansara) | — |
| KL Trillion (Jalan Tun Razak KLCC-fringe) | A, strata | 3.80 – 6.13 | Ampang Park MRT 4–5 min | (link: /blog/commercial/klcc/kl-trillion/) |
| Menara BT (Bangsar South) | Premium A, MSC | 6.00 – 7.00 | LRT Kerinchi 5–7 min, covered link bridge | (link: /blog/commercial/bangsar-south/menara-bt/) |
Three same-corridor peers in the RM 4–7 psf band; Menara KLGCC trades at a premium to KLCC-fringe strata (newer build, low-density, Sime Darby developer) but at the same band as Bangsar South Premium A.
