Solaris Publika (Solaris Dutamas) Office Rent (2026)

Q: What is the floor plate size at Solaris Dutamas Commercial?

Solaris Dutamas Commercial is a strata office product, not a column-free single-floor plate. Individual strata units range 511 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft, with the 1,000–2,000 sq ft band being the most liquid. Tenants take one or more units, not a half-floor or full floor. Commercial blocks are 6-storey dual-frontage with 2-storey retail / 2-storey office mix.

Q: How far is Solaris Dutamas Commercial from the nearest MRT/LRT?

Segambut KTM Komuter is a 6-minute walk (443 m); Semantan MRT (Kajang Line) is an 11-minute walk (798 m). Both are walkable but not covered — KL daily thunderstorms will add 2–3 minutes. MRT feeder buses T852 and T818 stop at Publika for staff who prefer a bus ride over the walk.

Solaris Publika (Solaris Dutamas Commercial) office for rent in KL: what you'll actually pay in 2026

"Solaris Publika" is the colloquial name for the strata office suites at Solaris Dutamas, a 17-acre freehold integrated development at No. 1, Jalan Dutamas 1, Mont Kiara, completed end-2009 by UEM Sunrise Berhad and managed by SCM Properties Sdn Bhd. It is a ~1,260-suite strata office product sitting above and alongside the Publika Shopping Gallery — NOT a single Grade A corporate tower. Verified asking rent on active 2025–2026 listings runs RM 3.47–8.63 psf/month (mid-band RM 4.50–5.50 psf; central tendency ~RM 4.85 psf, verified 2026-08-06); the closest rail access is Segambut KTM Komuter at ~6 min walk (443 m) and Semantan MRT at ~11 min walk (798 m). The separate 21-storey Grade A tower in the same precinct — Menara 1 Dutamas, owned by Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad (PHB) — is a different building and rents separately at RM 5.66–6.50 psf.

Building-form caveat (carry forward): This page covers the Solaris Dutamas Commercial strata office suites (511–6,000 sq ft per strata unit, across the multi-block commercial podium). It does NOT cover Menara 1 Dutamas, which is a separate corporate Grade A tower at the same Solaris Dutamas address; the two share common-area management but are priced and leased independently.

What you'll actually pay: 5,000 sq ft TCO at Solaris Dutamas Commercial

A 5,000 sq ft strata unit at Solaris Dutamas Commercial at the central-tendency RM 4.85 psf costs approximately RM 24,250/month in base rent before service charge, parking, utilities and SST — but base rent is the wrong number to shop on, because the service charge is the largest single unverified line on this building. Here's the all-in TCO on 5,000 sq ft, with each line dated and sourced (or honestly marked as unverified):

Line item	RM / month	RM psf/mo	Source / Date
Base rent (5,000 sf × RM 4.85 psf)	24,250	4.85	a dated broker listing / a dated broker listing / a dated broker listing / iRumah, 2025–2026
Service charge	not disclosed in the sources reviewed — building management call required; budget RM 0.30–0.80 psf as placeholder until SCM Properties confirms	—	a dated broker listing (residential proxy only), 2026-08-06
Car park (5 bays × RM 360/mo reserved at Menara 1 Dutamas)	1,800	0.36	briqbloq.com, 2026-08-06
AC OT (estimate 10 hr/mo at the typical KL strata rate, since Solaris Dutamas Commercial doesn't publish)	~750	~0.15	Tenant-reported KL strata norm
Utilities (estimate)	1,750	0.35	Tenant-reported KL strata norm
Sub-total before tax (with placeholder SC at RM 0.50 psf)	~28,800	~5.76	—
SST 8% on rent + service charge portion (placeholder SC RM 0.50 psf)	~2,140	~0.43	LHDN SST Order 2025 — 8% expanded scope from 1 Jul 2025
Total all-in (estimated, with placeholder SC)	~30,940	~6.19	—

For 5,000 sq ft at Solaris Dutamas Commercial, expect a true first-month occupancy cost of approximately RM 28,000–31,000 at mid-band asking rent — about 20–28% above the headline RM 24,250 base rent once service charge (placeholder), parking, AC OT, utilities and SST 8% are added. The single biggest unknown is the per-psf service charge; the gap between "RM 0.30 psf" (a weak residential proxy from the same Solaris area) and the actual SCM Properties figure, once disclosed, is worth 5,000 × that delta per month. Building management call required to convert the headline "rent" listings into a standalone RM psf.

The headline rent range RM 3.47–8.63 psf is the strata unit asking range — it spans bare unfurnished units at the low end, fitted corner units with dual frontage at the top. The central tendency (RM 4.50–5.50) is the right number to budget against for a 1,000–3,000 sq ft fitted unit; the low end is achievable only for bare 500–700 sq ft suites on a 2-year commitment with negotiable rent-free fit-out.

Will my team fit at Solaris Dutamas Commercial? Three headcount scenarios

Solaris Dutamas Commercial is a strata office product, not a column-free single-floor plate. Suites are individually strata-titled and leased by unit (typical 511–6,000 sq ft, with the 1,000–2,000 sq ft range being the most liquid), so a tenant takes one or more strata units, not a half-floor or a full floor. Three worked scenarios at RM 4.85 psf base rent + placeholder service charge + 1 bay per 1,000 sqft parking:

20 pax (lean 100 sf/person = 2,000 sf): a single 2,000 sq ft strata unit; rent RM 9,700/mo, all-in ~RM 12,000/mo. Common in this building — multiple units in the 1,500–2,500 sf range listed at any time.
50 pax (standard 150 sf/person = 7,500 sf): one 3,000 sf + one 4,500 sf strata unit, or one large 6,000 sf unit + an adjacent suite; rent RM 36,375/mo, all-in ~RM 43,500/mo. Strata-title concatenation is the practical play; full-floor availability is rare.
100 pax (standard 150 sf/person = 15,000 sf): 3 × 5,000 sf strata units across adjacent blocks; rent RM 72,750/mo, all-in ~RM 87,000/mo. Achievable by combining suites on the same floor of a single block, or across blocks; verify on a case-by-case basis whether SCM can offer a unified lease or whether three separate strata-owner leases are required.

Because each suite is a separate strata title, expansion is typically unit-by-unit, not floor-by-floor. A tenant expecting 100+ pax growth should confirm with SCM Properties whether contiguous units on a single floor are available, and whether the strata owners of adjacent units will align on lease expiry.

Transit reality at Solaris Dutamas Commercial

Solaris Dutamas is transit-light by KL Grade A standards but reasonable for the Mont Kiara / Sri Hartamas / Dutamas residential-commercial enclave. The two real rail options:

Segambut KTM Komuter (Port Klang Line / Tanjung Malim Line) — ~6-minute walk (443 m). The closer of the two; serves the KTM Komuter suburban network but not MRT. Useful for staff living along the KTM Komuter corridor (Rawang, Sungai Buloh, Kepong, Sentul, KL Sentral, Mid Valley, Subang, Klang).
Semantan MRT (Kajang Line) — ~11-minute walk (798 m). The MRT option; serves the Kajang Line corridor (Sungai Buloh, Kepong, Sentul, Titiwangsa, KLCC, TRX, Kajang). The walk is uncovered; in the daily 3pm thunderstorm, add ~3 minutes for sheltered routing.

a dated broker listing's "DUTAMAS STATION (1924m, 23-24 mins)" reference is a longer-walk reference point, not a realistic commute. The closer rail access is Segambut KTM + Semantan MRT. MRT feeder bus T852 (MRT Semantan ↔ Mont Kiara) and T818 (Desa Sri Hartamas ↔ MRT Semantan) stop at Publika; T821 runs to Kompleks Mahkamah Jalan Duta. RapidKL bus 852 connects Publika to Titiwangsa LRT.

E-hail pickup is a real and common mode given the expat-heavy Mont Kiara demographic; dedicated lay-by pickup points are present at the Publika Shopping Gallery frontage. Car park queue at the 8:45am morning peak is not documented in public sources for Solaris Dutamas Commercial specifically; the integrated development's basement + multi-storey parking typically absorbs demand without queuing (malaysiaparkingrate.blogspot.com, 2015-03).

Who's in the building: confirmed tenants at Solaris Dutamas

Solaris Dutamas Commercial is not a single-tenant prestige address; the tenant mix is a mix of Bursa-listed corporate HQs, OGSE-listed tech firms, and Japanese corporate satellite offices spread across multiple strata blocks. The occupancy on the office component is 75% (per a dated broker listing), versus the 86% retail occupancy at the Publika Shopping Gallery. Confirmed, sourced tenants:

UEM Sunrise Berhad — master developer, HQ at Level U2, Block C5 (LinkedIn, 2026-08-06). The developer's own tenancy is the strongest signal that the building is fit for corporate use.
Planally Sdn Bhd — digital / OGSE-listed (Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation, oil & gas services / digital). Unit C4-2-10, Block C4, Level 2 (mprc.gov.my, 2026-08-06).
AbleGroup Berhad — Bursa Malaysia-listed diversified group. Block D4-U2-10, Level 2 (AbleGroup AR2024).
Erdasan Group / WSCS share registrar — Block A3, Unit A3-3-8 (Erdasan Group AR2024).
Japanese corporate tenants (multiple) — STARTS International's Japanese-language broker page explicitly states "日系企業の入居も多く" ("many Japanese companies as tenants") for the Solaris Dutamas (Publika) office block, with unit sizes ranging 50 m² to 1,000 m²+ (kaigai.starts.co.jp, 2026-08-06).
LHAG (Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill) — major Malaysian law practice; their registered address is at Menara 1 Dutamas, Level 6 (the precinct-partner Grade A tower at the same address, not the Solaris Dutamas Commercial strata block; included here for context because the address is shared) (LinkedIn, 2026-08-06).

The retail side of the same development (Publika Shopping Gallery) is anchored by Ben's Independent Grocer (BIG, 49,000 sq ft), Shanghai-inspired Food Culture village (26,000 sq ft), plus British India, Caring Pharmacy, Rakuzen, Monocle (a dated broker listing, 2026-08-06). The retail-anchored convenience is a real amenity for an office tenant — Publika is the most-frequented retail podium in the Mont Kiara / Sri Hartamas micro-market.

Lease risk and exit mechanics at Solaris Dutamas Commercial

Public Solaris Dutamas Commercial listings disclose almost nothing on lease clauses. KL strata office market norms apply; the building-specific terms are not in public sources for the strata suites. Two confirmed norms, four unconfirmed:

Reinstatement cost at exit: not disclosed in the sources reviewed. For KL strata offices (typically let on an "as-is" basis), reinstatement is light. Building management call required for the SCM Properties / strata-owner-specific scope and cost.
Typical deposit: 2 months security + 1 month advance rent + 1 month utilities deposit = 4 months upfront cash (the Mont Kiara agent's standard tenancy template, published in the Solaris Dutamas Commercial strata listing by Jason Ong, REN 29370; a dated broker listing, 2026-08-06).
Break clause: not disclosed in the sources reviewed. By negotiation only — to be confirmed with the strata owner. KL strata norm is a 2-month notice + 2 months' rent penalty, but this is owner-specific, not building-wide.
Diplomatic clause: not disclosed in the sources reviewed. By negotiation only. The mechanic that lets a foreign tenant exit early without deposit forfeiture (typically 12-month lock-in before invocable, 2-month notice plus documentary evidence, tenant still liable for rent during notice period, no offset against deposit) is general Malaysian commercial-lease practice but is not building-specific; verify the exact notice period and lock-in length against your own Letter of Offer before acting on it.
Bank guarantee in lieu of cash deposit: not disclosed in the sources reviewed at Solaris Dutamas Commercial. Some KL strata landlords accept a bank guarantee in place of a cash security deposit, preserving working capital — but this is by negotiation, not a stated right, and building management call required.
Rent escalation: not disclosed in the sources reviewed. KL strata norm is 5–10% per annum step-up or 3- or 5-year market rent review, but this is owner-specific, not building-wide.

For unreturned-deposit disputes at lease exit, the civil-claim path in Malaysia is the Magistrate's Court (claims up to RM 100,000) or Sessions Court (RM 100,001–1,000,000); tenancy agreements with a term over 3 years must be stamped within 30 days of execution at LHDN's e-Duti Setem portal to be admissible as evidence. Photographic move-in/move-out inventory is the practical protection against "fair wear and tear vs damage" disputes.

MD / MSC status box: Solaris Dutamas Commercial

No MD / MSC-status is publicly identified for Solaris Dutamas Commercial strata offices. No MSC Cybercentre designation was found in any public source for the strata office product at the time of research (2026-08-06). A quick framing for a tenant: Malaysia Digital (MD) status is company-activity-based since 25 March 2022, not tied to a designated building — meaning the tax incentive (0% on qualifying IP income, 5–10% on non-qualifying) is yours by virtue of what your company does, not where it sits. Sitting in an MSC-designated building does not confer MD status on your company, and sitting outside one does not disqualify you. Roughly 35% of Malaysia's purpose-built office stock is MD-certified; only ~13% of MD companies actually sit in MD-certified premises (Kimi cross-verified research, 2026-07-30). For a tenant evaluating Solaris Dutamas Commercial: the absence of an MSC designation is not a tax-event blocker, but it is an ecosystem signal — the building is more mixed-use / corporate-HQ / Japanese-satellite-office weighted than tech-tenant weighted.

Compare: Mont Kiara / Dutamas submarket peer buildings

Solaris Dutamas Commercial sits in the Mont Kiara / Sri Hartamas / Dutamas residential-commercial enclave. Three peer buildings on price and grade, all within a 10–15 minute drive:

Menara 1 Dutamas (PHB-owned, 21 storeys, separate Grade A tower in the Solaris Dutamas precinct) — RM 5.66–6.50 psf asking; corporate-tenanted, financial-services heritage (formerly Menara SapuraKencana Petroleum). The natural Grade A peer.
The MET Corporate Towers (Jalan Dutamas 2, Mont Kiara) — comparable Mont Kiara strata office product; typical asking rent RM 5–7 psf with negotiable rent-free fit-out. Closer in strata form to Solaris Dutamas Commercial than the Grade A peers.
1 Mont Kiara (Jalan Kiara, Mont Kiara) — comparable Mont Kiara strata office; rent-free fit-out period advertised; similar tenant mix (corporate satellite offices, SMEs). The natural like-for-like for a tenant choosing between strata products in the same micro-market.

Solaris Dutamas Commercial is the price-leader of this peer set at the central tendency RM 4.85 psf; Menara 1 Dutamas commands the prestige premium at RM 5.66+ psf; The MET and 1 Mont Kiara are the direct strata competitors.

FAQ: Solaris Dutamas Commercial (Solaris Publika)

Is Solaris Dutamas Commercial Malaysia Digital / MSC-status?

No MSC Cybercentre designation is publicly identified for the Solaris Dutamas Commercial strata office product (2026-08-06). MD status since 25 March 2022 is company-activity-based, not building-based — the building label is ecosystem signal, not a tax event for the tenant.

What is the service charge at Solaris Dutamas Commercial?

not disclosed in the sources reviewed. All active 2025–2026 listings quote a headline rent without a per-psf service charge. The best public proxy is the residential Arte Series in the same Solaris area at RM 0.30 psf, but that is a residential block, not an office strata. SCM Properties (the UEM Sunrise subsidiary managing the integrated development) is the path to a building-specific number — budget RM 0.30–0.80 psf as a placeholder for early modelling.

How much is a 5,000 sq ft office at Solaris Dutamas Commercial per month?

At the central-tendency asking rent of RM 4.85 psf, base rent is RM 24,250/month. All-in (placeholder service charge + 5 parking bays + AC OT + utilities + SST 8%) lands at approximately RM 28,000–31,000/month — about 20–28% above the headline rent.

What is the floor plate size at Solaris Dutamas Commercial?

Solaris Dutamas Commercial is a strata office product, not a column-free single-floor plate. Individual strata units range 511 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft, with the 1,000–2,000 sq ft band being the most liquid. Tenants take one or more units, not a half-floor or full floor. Commercial blocks are 6-storey dual-frontage with 2-storey retail / 2-storey office mix.

Is Solaris Dutamas Commercial green certified?

Not in public sources for the 2009 Solaris Dutamas block. UEM Sunrise has GBI-certified projects in their portfolio but no specific certification for this block is published. The building predates the 2015+ wave of green-certified Malaysian offices.

How far is Solaris Dutamas Commercial from the nearest MRT/LRT?

Segambut KTM Komuter is a 6-minute walk (443 m); Semantan MRT (Kajang Line) is an 11-minute walk (798 m). Both are walkable but not covered — KL daily thunderstorms will add 2–3 minutes. MRT feeder buses T852 and T818 stop at Publika for staff who prefer a bus ride over the walk.

What is the car park ratio at Solaris Dutamas Commercial?

Not separately published for the strata suites. The precinct-partner Menara 1 Dutamas operates 1 bay per 1,000 sqft (reserved RM 360/mo, floating RM 210/mo); Parkitmy lists Solaris Dutamas commercial parking at MYR 385/mo. Visitor parking is RM 1.00 first 2 hours, RM 2.00 subsequent hour, weekday max RM 20.00, weekend max RM 5.00, overnight RM 30.00.

What is the minimum lease term at Solaris Dutamas Commercial?

2 years is the KL strata office norm; 1-year leases are "hard to negotiate" (per cross-border entrepreneur account in The Paper 澎湃新闻, 2025-08-13). Comparable Mont Kiara strata listings (1 Mont Kiara / The MET) explicitly advertise "Rent-Free Fit-Out Period Available and asking rental is negotiable" — fit-out period is negotiable, term is not.

Verified stamp: Rent, parking, transit, and tenant roster verified 2026-08-06 by SPEEDHOME. Service charge, AC OT, break clause, diplomatic clause, reinstatement cost, rent escalation, MD/MSC status, and green certification are not in public sources for the Solaris Dutamas Commercial strata suites — building management call required (SCM Properties Sdn Bhd, UEM Sunrise Berhad subsidiary, contactable via the Publika Shopping Gallery management office).
