Fast Facts
| Field | Note |
|---|---|
| Grade (A/B) + basis | Grade A — KL Office Space ("modern Grade A office tower") + a dated broker listing ("premium Grade A corporate office tower"). No public MY registry exists; SPEEDHOME applies the broker convention. |
| Completed / major refurb year | 2023 completion (a dated broker listing, a dated broker listing "Built: 2023"). 2018 project master-approval date appears on some a dated broker listing project profiles; not the completion year. |
| NLA + typical floor plate | NLA unverified — a dated broker listing gives both 146,026 sq ft and 186,370 sq ft on the same page. Typical floor plate: ~10,086 sq ft (consistently cited). One duplex floor of ~14,908 sq ft exists. |
| Efficiency (net:gross) | Unverified. Building management call required. |
| Asking rent (gross/net flagged) | RM 5.50 – RM 5.80 psf/month asking (5+ active listings: a dated broker listing, KL Office Rental). Gross vs net split unverified — assume net unless landlord confirms gross. |
| Asking vs effective rent spread | Unverified — published spread is the operator's moat. Knight Frank 4Q2025 submarket achieved (Damansara Heights all-stock) is RM 4.63 psf/month (+0.2% q-o-q), blended Grade B/C + Grade A. |
| Service charge (RM psf/mo) | Unverified — building management call required. Bukit Kiara new-build Grade A market band is RM 0.80 – 1.30 psf (estimated, not building-specific). Confirm with Sime Darby Property leasing (+603-2080 9088). |
| Car park (bay ratio, rate, visitor rate) | Allocation: 1 bay per 1,000 sq ft (a dated broker listing). Total bay count discrepancy: ~350 (a dated broker listing) vs 855 (a dated broker listing) — both unverified; KLGCC Mall bays may be rolled in. Monthly tenant rate: unverified. |
| After-hours air-con rate | Unverified — building management call required. Centralized AC system exists (per a dated broker listing). KL Grade A benchmark: RM 110 – 180/hr/AHU or per floor. |
| MD / Malaysia Digital status | not claimed in the sources reviewed for the office tower. KLGCC Resort as a whole is NOT MSC-designated in publicly available sources. No MDEC building register exists. |
| Green cert (GBI/LEED/GreenMark) | GBI Certified ("First GBI Certified Corporate Tower in KLGCC Resort", per a dated broker listing + a dated broker listing + a dated broker listing). |
| Anchor tenants / tenant roster | OFFICE TOWER: NO PUBLIC ANCHOR TENANT ROSTER. Marketed target tenant profile: MNCs, financial firms, professional services, technology, consulting, regional offices, private wealth management. (KLGCC Mall anchors — Jaya Grocer, Serai Group, HarborLand, ACE Hardware, Asia Ballet Academy — are MALL tenants, NOT office tower tenants; do not conflate.) |
| Nearest rail + measured walk time | No MRT/LRT within 1 km walking radius. Building shuttle to MRT Phileo Damansara (SBK12) and MRT Semantan (SBK14), RM 2/ride. MRT Pusat Bandar Damansara (SBK13) also nearby. Car strongly recommended. |
| Backup power / carrier neutrality | Unverified. Standard N+1 generator expected for new-build Grade A. |
| Last verified | 2026-08-06 (rent + GBI + shuttle); service charge, parking rate, AC OT, MD status, and full office-tenant roster unverified at the same date. |
What you'll actually pay — 5,000 sq ft, 3-year stay
The matrix below is built from the asking rent and an assumed service charge midpoint. Service charge, parking rate, and after-hours AC must be confirmed with Sime Darby Property leasing (+603-2080 9088) before signing.
| Line | RM psf / month | RM / month for 5,000 sq ft | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base rent (asking) | 5.50 | 27,500 | Asking; effective rent likely lower — spread unverified. |
| Service charge (assumed) | 1.00 | 5,000 | Unverified — market band RM 0.80 – 1.30. |
| Car park (5 bays, assumed) | 350 / bay | 1,750 | Unverified rate; allocation 1 bay / 1,000 sq ft = 5 bays for 5,000 sq ft. |
| After-hours AC (assumed) | n/a | 0 | Unverified rate; assume business hours only. |
| Utilities (assumed) | n/a | 0 – 2,000 | Sub-metered; varies by fit-out. |
| SST 8% (on base rent only) | n/a | 2,200 | 8% sales tax on rent; service charge is typically out of scope but confirm. |
| Total all-in | — | ~RM 36,450 / month | At assumed service charge. Excludes upfront deposit + fit-out. |
| Upfront cash (2+1+1) | — | ~RM 110,000 | 2 months security + 1 month utility + 1 month rent advance, before GST/SST. |
| 12-month total occupancy | — | ~RM 437,400 | At assumed service charge, no OT. |
Diplomatic clause note (foreign tenants): Foreign-tenant diplomatic clause is standard in Malaysian commercial leases (3-month notice + supporting evidence per 3ecpa.com.my Chinese-language guide 2024-05-15). Menara KLGCC-specific wording unverified — confirm with leasing. Note: for MNC / high-covenant tenants, some landlords accept a bank guarantee in place of a cash security deposit; this is not a claimed universal right — confirm with the Sime Darby Property leasing line.
Will my team fit here? (20 / 50 / 100 pax)
Headcount scenarios computed at 150 sq ft / person (call-centre density) and 100 sq ft / person (back-office density), using the 10,086 sq ft typical floor plate and an assumed 85% net-to-gross efficiency.
| Team size | Density | Space needed | Floors here | Est. monthly cost (all-in, 5.50 psf) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 pax | 150 sq ft / pax | 3,000 sq ft | Part-floor (1/4 of typical floor) | ~RM 22,000 / month |
| 50 pax | 100 sq ft / pax | 5,000 sq ft | Half-floor (typical floor halves cleanly) | ~RM 36,500 / month |
| 100 pax | 100 sq ft / pax | 10,000 sq ft | Full typical floor (10,086 sq ft) | ~RM 73,000 / month |
For 50 pax at 150 sq ft / pax density, the requirement is 7,500 sq ft — a half-floor plus an extra 2,500 sq ft on a neighbouring floor, or one typical floor with some sublease to a sub-tenant. Verify fit with Sime Darby Property leasing — sublease consent is required for any partial-floor sublease.
Transit reality
Menara KLGCC is in Bukit Kiara, west of the KLCC / Golden Triangle core. There is no MRT or LRT within 1 km walking radius. The building operates a dedicated shuttle van service (RM 2/ride) to MRT Phileo Damansara (SBK12, Kajang Line) and MRT Semantan (SBK14, Kajang Line). MRT Pusat Bandar Damansara (SBK13, also Kajang Line) is also nearby. E-hailing (Grab) pickup is feasible at the tower drop-off. Car is strongly recommended for any team that runs past 7pm — Bukit Kiara's last-mile after the shuttle ends is a 1.5 – 2 km walk from any MRT station.
Who's in the building
Honest disclosure: no public anchor-tenant roster exists for the Menara KLGCC office tower as of 2026-08-06. The building is being marketed to MNCs, financial firms, professional services, technology, consulting, regional offices, and private wealth management — but no occupier list is public. The KLGCC Mall (integrated with the office tower as part of the KLGCC Resort master development) has a well-documented anchor set (Jaya Grocer gourmet concept, Serai Group Level 4 dining, HarborLand, ACE Hardware, Asia Ballet Academy, Morph, Toys R Us, Huckleberry, Pasta Zanmai) — but these are MALL tenants, not office-tower tenants, and quoting them as office occupiers would be a factual error. The wider KLGCC Resort also includes the Sime Darby Convention Centre (1A Jalan Bukit Kiara 1) and the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club (KLGCC, 10 Jalan 1/70D).
Lease risk & exit mechanics
- Reinstatement cost — Unverified for Menara KLGCC. Building base build is 2023-new, so reinstatement applies to tenant fit-out only. KL Grade A range: RM 30 – 80 psf (basic) to RM 100 – 200 psf (mid-range). New-build 2023 means the worst-case "strip back to bare shell" exposure is on the tenant's improvements, not landlord's base build.
- Break clause — Unverified for Menara KLGCC. KL Grade A standard is 3 – 6 months' prior written notice + landlord's right to claim remaining rent. Negotiate the break at year 2, not at signing.
- Diplomatic clause — Standard in Malaysian commercial leases for foreign tenants (3-month notice + supporting evidence per 3ecpa.com.my 2024-05-15). Menara KLGCC-specific wording unverified. Verify notice period and lock-in length against the actual lease before assuming protection.
- Fair wear and tear vs damage — The ambiguity that drives most deposit-return disputes. Take a time-stamped photographic inventory at move-in and move-out; for any unreturned-deposit dispute, the small-claims track is the cited recourse (see SPEEDHOME's KL office leasing guide for the procedural path).
- PRC-tenant-specific warning — A PRC entrepreneur touring KL CBD in 2025 was specifically warned by an agent: "if your rent is 1 万 [RM10,000] and you fold after 1 year, you have to keep paying the remaining year's rent of 12 万 [RM120,000]." (thepaper.cn 2025-08-13). The 2-year minimum + full-remaining-rent exposure is the dominant financial risk for any small-to-mid Menara KLGcc tenant; price it into the expansion scenario.
Malaysia Digital / MSC status box
Building-level MD / MSC status: not claimed in the sources reviewed for the Menara KLGCC office tower, and KLGCC Resort is NOT MSC-designated in any publicly available source reviewed. The Sime Darby Property sustainability report and primary-official site do not list MD designation for the office tower (unlike Menara BT or Wisma Shell, which both have public MSC-claim references).
For context only (not Menara KLGCC-specific): MD status has been company-activity-based since 25 March 2022 — it is no longer building-bound. A foreign-owned company expanding into Menara KLGCC obtains MD status through its own qualifying activity, not by being physically located in an MSC-designated tower. Roughly 35% of Malaysia's purpose-built office stock is MD-certified and only ~13% of MD companies actually sit in MD-certified premises — so "do I need to be in an MD building" is a real question with a real answer (no, you do not, for MD status purposes).
Compare block — Bukit Kiara / Damansara Heights peers
| Building | Submarket | Grade | Asking (RM psf) | NLA / floor plate | Last verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Menara KLGCC (this page) | Bukit Kiara (KLGCC Resort) | A (GBI) | 5.50 – 5.80 | ~10,086 sq ft | 2026-08-06 |
| Pavilion Damansara Heights (PDH) | Damansara Heights | A (BCA Green Mark, MSC) | up to RM 8 – 9 (Phase 1 suites) | per unit; multi-tower | 2024-2026 |
| Menara Milenium | Damansara Heights | A (post-2024 refurb) | 5.50 – 6.00 (median) / 6.80 (full-floor) | 22,500 sq ft | 2026-08-06 |
| 1 Sentrum (Menara 1 Sentrum) | KL Sentral CBD | A (Green) | varies; KL Sentral band RM 5.50 – 7.50 | per floor | 2026-08-06 |
Positioning summary: Menara KLGCC sits at the west-of-city, low-density, golf-resort end of the Bukit Kiara / Damansara Heights corridor. The new-build 2023 + GBI Certified + KLGCC Resort amenity package is the differentiator; the price is at the lower-middle of the corridor. For tenants that need MSC designation, PDH or Menara Milenium's neighbour Wisma YNH are the closer fits — Menara KLGCC itself is not MD-status-claimed.
