Quick answer
Etiqa Twins (formerly MNI Twins) is a 403,369 sq ft Grade A twin-tower at 11 Jalan Pinang in the KLCC submarket, completed 1994; current 2026 asking rent runs RM 6.30–10.00 psf/month, tiered by fit-out (bare from RM 6.30, partly furnished RM 6.30–7.50, fully furnished RM 7.20–10.00), with parking at RM 120/bay/month for non-reserved bays and KLCC LRT / Raja Chulan Monorail both within a ~7–10 minute walk.
This page answers the eight questions a project manager or executive assistant actually asks when Etiqa Twins is on the shortlist: what you will pay all-in per square foot and per month, whether the floor plate fits a 20, 50, or 100-person team, how the building's transit access compares to a five-minute-walk Grade A, who is actually in the building, the lease-mechanics that move the real cost, and the green-credential and MD-status claims that are broker-asserted but not independently verified. Every number on this page is either cross-verified across two or more independent sources, or flagged as not in public sources with the management-call path.

What you'll actually pay — TCO for Etiqa Twins (illustrative, 5,000 sq ft)
Headline rent is the wrong number to shop on. The all-in monthly cost of a 5,000 sq ft unit at Etiqa Twins, on the mid-band asking rent, looks like this:
| Line | Calculation | RM / month |
|---|---|---|
| Base rent (mid-band partly furnished) | 5,000 sq ft × RM 6.90 psf | 34,500 |
| Service charge | Not in public sources — place RM 0.50 psf as KL Grade A indicative pending management confirmation (5,000 × 0.50) | 2,500 indicative |
| Car park (5 bays at 1:1,000 ratio, non-reserved rate) | 5 bays × RM 120 | 600 |
| After-hours air-con (illustrative) | Not in public sources — place RM 0 pending management confirmation | 0 |
| Utilities estimate (light office load) | 5,000 × ~RM 0.35 psf (industry indicative) | 1,750 |
| SST 8% on rent + service charge | (34,500 + 2,500) × 8% | 2,960 |
| Total all-in (illustrative) | ~RM 42,310 / month | |
| Total psf (all-in) | 42,310 / 5,000 | ~RM 8.46 psf/month |
SST is computed on the taxable portion of rent + service charge at 8% (the rate effective from the SST expansion, not the stale 6% some guides still cite). Confirm the SST treatment of service charge and parking with your tax advisor before locking the budget.
Move-in cash to budget (illustrative, 5,000 sq ft at RM 6.90 psf): 2 months security deposit + 1 month rent advance + 0.5 month utility deposit = 3.5 months × RM 34,500 = ~RM 120,750, plus the ~RM 5,000 stamping fee and any rent-free negotiation. KL's 2+1+0.5 convention (~3.5 months) collides with PRC founders' 押一付三 norm because in Malaysia, the deposit is not a hard cap on exit liability — early termination is a separate exposure, see Lease risk below.
Will my team fit here — headcount scenarios
Etiqa Twins' per-unit range of 1,000–8,302 sq ft (with a 14,387 sq ft whole-floor penthouse on Tower 2 L26+27) covers most SME-to-mid-market headcounts. Using the 100 sq ft/person (dense back-office) and 150 sq ft/person (open-plan with meeting rooms) planning benchmarks, with the mid-band asking rent of RM 6.90 psf and a 0.85 net:gross efficiency ratio (illustrative, confirm with the unit you view):
| Team size | Sq ft needed (100 sq ft/pax) | Sq ft needed (150 sq ft/pax) | Etiqa Twins fit | All-in monthly (RM) at RM 6.90 + RM 0.50 SC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 pax | 2,000 | 3,000 | One partly-furnished unit (e.g. 2,140 sf Tower 2 L11E, or 2,095 sf Tower 2 L7E) | ~RM 15,800–23,700 |
| 50 pax | 5,000 | 7,500 | Combine two units or take the partly-furnished 5,645 sf Tower 2 L21 A-D | ~RM 39,500–59,300 |
| 100 pax | 10,000 | 15,000 | Whole-floor or combine two half-floors; 14,387 sf penthouse is the only single-floor option above 10,000 sf | ~RM 79,000–118,500 |
Floor-plate note: the per-floor layout in the klofficeleasing.com unit table is 4 corner sub-divisible units typical per floor. For a 50-person team, the 5,645 sq ft partly-furnished unit on Tower 2 Level 21 is the cleanest fit; for 100 pax, plan to combine or move up to the penthouse.
Transit reality — KLCC LRT, Raja Chulan Monorail, drive / e-hail
Etiqa Twins is on Jalan Pinang, a one-block turn off Jalan Sultan Ismail. KLCC LRT (Kelana Jaya Line) is ~10 minutes' walk (0.8 km); Raja Chulan Monorail is ~7 minutes (0.7 km). Bukit Bintang MRT (MRT1 Kajang Line) is walkable per broker copy but no measured distance is published — verify from the unit you view, do not trust the portal's "5-min walk" estimate.
E-hailing is straightforward along Jalan Pinang; the building has a porte-cochère drop-off and a triple-volume lobby. There is no known e-hail staging problem. For a 5-minute-or-better rail commute, KLCC LRT is the right anchor — it is one stop to KLCC/Pavilion/Bukit Bintang retail, and two stops to Pasar Seni for the heritage district.
If your team is rail-dependent, compare Etiqa Twins' two-line access to other KLCC towers that are literally next-door to KLCC LRT (e.g. Menara Standard Chartered, Menara Bangkok Bank, Menara TA One). Etiqa Twins is "walkable" rather than "next door" — 7–10 minutes is fine for most office hours, but for a team that commutes in rain daily, the closer-to-station peer towers win on commute time.
Who's in the building — verified tenant roster
| Tenant | Tower / Floor | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| FACB Industries Incorporated Berhad (Bursa: 48850-K, bedding via Restonic) | Tower 1, Level 13 (registered office); Level 3 Dewan Seri Pinang (AGM venue) | Current — confirmed in 2024 annual report | FACB Annual Report 2024, 2024-10-29 |
| Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad (KFHMB) (licensed Islamic bank) | Tower 2, Level 18 (registered office per 2009 AR + T&C) | Historical — operational HQ later moved to Level 26, Menara Prestige | KFHMB Annual Report 2009; BNM registry 2026-08-06 |
Important caveat on the building's brand: Etiqa Insurance Berhad is the building's namesake, but Etiqa Family Takaful Berhad's registered HQ is at Dataran Maybank (Jalan Maarof), not at Etiqa Twins, per the BNM registry. The "Etiqa" name on the building is a branding legacy, not an active-tenant signal. Broker copy targets "multinationals, financial firms, and law offices" without naming them — the full MNC roster is not disclosed in the sources reviewed.
Lease risk & exit mechanics at Etiqa Twins
This is the section a CFOs' executive assistant is most likely to actually read. None of the lease-mechanics fields below are publicly disclosed for Etiqa Twins specifically — every number is either industry-context or building-management-call-required.
- Reinstatement (cost to return to bare condition at exit): industry benchmark for KLCC Grade A is RM 15–40 psf depending on the scope of the original fit-out. Etiqa Twins-specific figure: not in public sources. A fully-fitted unit on RM 10.00 psf will cost more to strip than a bare unit.
- Break clause (penalty for early exit before term end): industry convention is 100–150% of remaining term's rent, or a 6-month soft-landing buyout. Etiqa Twins-specific: not in public sources.
- Diplomatic clause (lets a foreign tenant exit early without deposit forfeiture if expatriate staff are relocated / lose their pass): the clause is real and is asked about, but the exact mechanics (lock-in length, notice period, whether rent during notice is still owed) are not in public sources for Etiqa Twins. Standard KL convention is a 12-month lock-in before invocable, 2-month written notice plus documentary evidence, tenant still liable for rent during the notice period. Verify against the actual lease before you assume any of this.
- Fair wear and tear vs damage: the ambiguity that drives most deposit-return disputes. Mitigation: dated photographic move-in inventory and a move-out inventory at the same angles. For unreturned-deposit disputes, the small-claims track is the cited recourse — confirm the current court/tribunal path before publishing any specific number.
The single most-ignored line item in any KL office budget researchers build is reinstatement. A team that budgets RM 6.90 psf base + RM 0.50 psf service charge and forgets the RM 15–40 psf reinstatement at exit has under-stated its 3-year occupancy cost by 8–22%.
Malaysia Digital / MSC status box
Etiqa Twins' broker copy (klofficeleasing.com) asserts "MSC Tier 1 Status" for the building. This claim is not independently verified on the MDEC MSC-status list in any source reviewed. Treat as broker-asserted.
The relevant framework fact (independent of Etiqa Twins): Malaysia Digital (MD) status is company-activity-based since 25 March 2022, not tied to a designated building. Only ~35% of Malaysia's purpose-built office stock is MD-certified, and only ~13% of MD companies actually sit in MD-certified premises. "Do I need to be in an MD building?" is therefore a real, answerable question — and the answer is no, you do not, because the designation is on your company's activity, not on your address. A company that qualifies can be MD-registered while sitting in any office; a company in a building with an "MD-status" marketing claim gains nothing from that claim alone. (Mechanics verified at MDEC's own site at publish time; this is the explainer that any building's MD page should reference.)
Compare block — KLCC same-submarket peers
For a project manager comparing Etiqa Twins to other KLCC / Jalan Pinang / Jalan Sultan Ismail towers at the same Grade and the same submarket, the most useful same-submarket comparisons are:
- Menara Bangkok Bank — same Jalan Pinang corridor; newer vintage; comparable Grade A.
- Menara Standard Chartered — Jalan Sultan Ismail, next to KLCC LRT; closer-rail advantage over Etiqa Twins.
- Menara TA One — Jalan P. Ramlee, KLCC pocket; newer cycle, higher asking rent band.
For a full side-by-side TCO on a 5,000 sq ft unit at each, use the per-building pages listed in the same submarket hub. The cluster's link-back step will populate the canonical URLs after these building pages are committed.
FAQ — Etiqa Twins Office for Rent
Is Etiqa Twins Grade A?
Yes. Three independent broker sources (a dated broker listing, klofficeleasing.com, theboutiqueoffice.com) classify it as Grade A. Malaysia has no public Grade A registry; the classification is a market convention, not a regulator's designation. SPEEDHOME's methodology for assigning Grade A is published separately in the cluster's doctrine page.
What is the asking rent at Etiqa Twins in 2026?
RM 6.30–10.00 psf/month, tiered by fit-out: bare from RM 6.30, partly furnished RM 6.30–7.50, fully furnished RM 7.20–10.00. Six independent broker sources confirm the range. The Rahim & Co listing's "RM 76.50 psf" is a template-typo display bug — treat as RM 6.50 psf (the same unit's real quote on klofficeleasing.com).
What is the service charge at Etiqa Twins?
Not in public sources. None of the 8 broker sites reviewed (Rahim & Co, a dated broker listing, JLL, KL Office Leasing, klcc-office.com, Workthere, a dated broker listing, a dated broker listing) disclose a per-psf service charge. Klang Valley Grade A indicative range is RM 0.25–0.60 psf/month, but the building-specific figure must come from the leasing desk. SPEEDHOME's published Klang Valley TCO models use the range pending management confirmation.
What is the floor plate size at Etiqa Twins?
Per-unit sub-divisible units are 1,000–8,302 sq ft. The whole-floor penthouse on Tower 2 Levels 26 & 27 is 14,387 sq ft. A 50-person team fits cleanly in the partly-furnished 5,645 sq ft unit on Tower 2 Level 21. A 100-person team needs to combine two units or take the penthouse.
Is Etiqa Twins Malaysia Digital / MSC status?
Broker-asserted (klofficeleasing.com claims "MSC Tier 1") but not independently verified on MDEC's MSC-status list. Malaysia Digital status is company-activity-based since 25 March 2022, not building-bound — your company's MD designation is on its activity, not its address.
How far is Etiqa Twins from the nearest MRT / LRT?
KLCC LRT (Kelana Jaya Line) is ~10-min walk (0.8 km). Raja Chulan Monorail is ~7-min walk (0.7 km). Bukit Bintang MRT (MRT1 Kajang Line) is walkable per broker copy; verify from the unit you view.
What is the car park ratio at Etiqa Twins?
1 bay per 1,000 sq ft (broker shorthand) OR 1 reserved per 3,000 sf + 1 non-reserved per 500 sf (a dated broker listing detailed split). Total bays in the building: ~700 (consensus across sources; a dated broker listing's 1,500 is likely a typo or includes the surrounding development). Non-reserved rate: RM 120/bay/month. Reserved rate: not in public sources.
What is the minimum lease term at Etiqa Twins?
Not in public sources. The KL Grade A convention is 3 years; the DBKL BM-language commercial-tenancy template defaults to 3 years. Confirm the building-specific minimum with the leasing desk. Early-exit exposure in Malaysia is the full remaining rent liability, not just deposit forfeiture — factor that into any sub-3-year plan.
