Amcorp Tower is a 1997 18-storey strata-titled office at PJ Section 52, 2 minutes from Taman Jaya LRT, with a 1990s rent band of RM 3.50–5.50 psf and no public-service-charge disclosure
Amcorp Tower (also rendered as Menara Amcorp) is an 18-storey strata-titled office tower at 18, Persiaran Barat, Section 52, 46050 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. It is one of two identical 18-storey office towers (the other is PJ Tower) flanking the 5-storey Amcorp Mall; Menara Melawangi (a 27-storey commercial-cum-serviced-apartment block completed 2005) sits behind. Completed 1997. The complex is part of the Amcorp Group Berhad development, and Amcorp Berhad (a Malaysian bank) is headquartered in the complex. Asking rent is in the RM 3.50–RM 5.50 psf/month band — verified across 4 independent broker listings for 2025–2026, with small fitted units at the low end and larger 4,000+ sqft floors at the top end. The defining transit fact: Taman Jaya LRT (Kelana Jaya Line, KJ20) is a 2-minute / 250 m walk from the complex. No public source publishes the building's NLA, service charge, parking rate, AC overtime rate, or any of the standard 8 lease-term fields; individual strata owners set their own terms.

What you'll actually pay (TCO)
5,000 sq ft at Amcorp Tower — building management call required for verification:
| Line item | RM psf/mo | RM/month | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asking rent (gross) | 4.50 | 22,500 | Mid-band of 4-source 2025–2026 range |
| Service charge | Not in public sources | — | Building management direct call required; Klang Valley Grade B inner-submarket norm RM 0.85–RM 1.30 psf is a market reference, not a building-specific number |
| Parking (5 reserved bays) | — | 1,000 | At norm RM 200/bay/mo; per-bay rate unverified for Amcorp Tower |
| After-hours AC | Not in public sources | — | Building management direct call required |
| Utilities estimate | — | ~2,000 | PJ Section 52 benchmark |
| SST (8%) | — | 1,800 | On rent portion only |
| Total monthly (excl. SC, AC OT) | — | ~27,300 | — |
| Total monthly (with norm-estimated SC RM 1.00 psf) | — | ~32,300 | SC is a market estimate, not building-confirmed |
Deposit: KL Grade B norm is 2–3 months' rent + 2 months' utility deposit. Building-specific deposit is not in public sources. Strata-titled building means individual owners may set their own terms; no single "building standard" the way a REIT-owned en-bloc tower has.
Reinstatement at exit: Market norm RM 10–RM 30 psf general for KL Grade B. Building-specific reinstatement cost is not in public sources.
Cost context: Amcorp Tower at RM 3.50–5.50 psf sits at roughly 40–60% of the KLCC rent band and ~70–80% of the KL Sentral Grade A band. For a cost-sensitive back-office team that does not need KLCC address signal, this is the price point to anchor a TCO comparator against.
Will my team fit here?
Amcorp Tower has two floor-plate regimes: a small-stratum sub-divisible plate (~1,700–2,175 sqft) for boutique fit-outs, and a tower-level plate up to ~9,200 sqft. At MY planning density (100–150 sq ft/pax):
| Headcount | Sq ft needed (at 150 sq ft/pax) | Fits at Amcorp Tower? | Approx all-in monthly (rent + norm-estimated SC + parking) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 pax | 3,000 sq ft | Yes — 1.5 small strata units, or one ~3,000 sqft recombined unit | ~RM 14,400 |
| 50 pax | 7,500 sq ft | Yes — close to full tower-level plate (~9,200 sqft) | ~RM 36,000 |
| 100 pax | 15,000 sq ft | No on a single floor — needs 1.5+ tower plates; uncommon configuration | ~RM 72,000 (1.5 plates) |
Numbers use the mid-band rent (RM 4.50 psf) and norm-estimated service charge RM 1.00 psf. Real TCO requires a building management call for SC, AC OT, and the per-tenant parking rate. Important structural note: the building is strata-titled, so multi-floor configurations depend on whether a single owner controls contiguous floors — a different problem from a REIT-owned en-bloc tower.
Transit reality
Amcorp Tower is the most LRT-served office in this wave from a walk-time perspective. Taman Jaya LRT (Kelana Jaya Line, KJ20) is 2 minutes / ~250 m from the complex entrance. The station opened 1 September 1998 and is elevated over Persiaran Barat at the Lorong Sultan intersection, with the official Kelana Jaya Line Wikipedia article noting "Exit to The Amcorp Mall."
- LRT Kelana Jaya Line (Taman Jaya station) — 2 min walk / 250 m
- Car: Federal Highway via Jalan Timur is widely known to be slow at morning peak; the complex is next to Dataran PJ (open field) which is used as public parking spillover on weekends
- E-hailing: Grab pickup normally available at the mall entrance
- 8:45 a.m. car-park entry queue: not field-validated for this research; not embellished
The contrast with the other two buildings in this wave is stark: 1 Dutamas is 5.6 km from the nearest MRT (car-dependent); 1 Sentrum is 8 min from KL Sentral via covered walkway; Amcorp Tower is 2 min from an LRT. For an LRT-commute-dependent team, Amcorp Tower is the only one of the three that genuinely delivers "walk out of the building, on the train in 2 minutes."
Who's in the building
Confirmed named tenants:
- Amcorp Group Berhad / Amcorp Properties Berhad (Bursa: 1007) — the Amcorp Properties Annual Report 2020 lists "2.01 PJ Tower, 18 Persiaran Barat, 46050 Petaling Jaya" as its principal place of business. PJ Tower is the identical twin of Amcorp Tower; the Group is the dominant complex-anchor. (reit_filing, 2020-03-31)
- Amcorp Berhad (Malaysian bank) — the Amcorp Mall and adjoining towers house the headquarters of Amcorp Berhad, a local bank. (Wikipedia + malls.com)
- NSK Grocer (KL) Sdn Bhd — sixth NSK outlet opened at Amcorp Mall March 2024. (mall-level anchor, complex-anchor for footfall; not a tower-tenant). (The Star 2024-03-13)
Important note: No specific named tower-floor tenant beyond the Amcorp Group HQ is publicly verified. The "EPF office" reference adjacent to the complex relates to PJ Tower, not specifically to Amcorp Tower tenancy. This page does not name any additional tenant without an attributed source.
Reading: the Amcorp Trade Centre complex is a 1990s Amcorp Group / Amcorp Bank HQ with a retail mall anchor (NSK Grocer for footfall, plus the original Amcorp Mall retail mix). The office towers function as a PJ civic-and-commercial submarket address — banks, professional services, small-medium offices. For a tenant choosing Amcorp Tower, the ecosystem signal is "PJ Section 52 small/medium business hub," not "Grade A financial-tenant cluster." If your pitch is fintech / SaaS / consumer brand / international HQ presence, this is not the building; if your pitch is regional back-office, professional services, or PJ-anchored SME, it is.
Lease risk & exit mechanics
Reinstatement cost at exit: Not in public sources for this building. Market norm RM 10–RM 30 psf general KL Grade B. Plan for RM 20 psf as the working figure. Require photographic move-in inventory and an explicit reinstatement-scope schedule in the TA.
Break clause: Not in public sources. No public source publishes Amcorp Tower's break-clause availability or penalty. Market norm for KL Grade B: 3-month notice + security deposit forfeiture; some landlords accept a 6-month soft-landing buyout. Lock-in typically year 1 of a 3-year lease.
Diplomatic clause: Not in public sources. For foreign-tenant requirement to exit early on expatriate relocation, request at Letter of Offer stage. Market mechanic: 12-month lock-in before invocable, 2-month written notice + documentary evidence, tenant still liable for rent during notice period.
Fair wear and tear vs damage: the ambiguity that drives most deposit-return disputes. Recommend photographic move-in inventory + joint move-out inspection. No statutory tenancy deposit cap exists in MY for commercial leases; the contract is the only protection.
Strata-specific risk: the building is privately strata-titled, not REIT-owned. Individual strata owners set their own lease terms. There is no single "building standard" the way a REIT-owned en-bloc tower has — each transaction is owner-by-owner. For a multi-floor tenant, the question of whether a single owner controls contiguous floors materially affects deal structure.
MD / MSC status
Not in public sources for Amcorp Tower. MD (Multimedia Development Corporation / MSC Malaysia) status is commonly marketed at Cyberjaya and KL-fringe tech parks; no public source confirms Amcorp Tower carries MSC-status. For a tenant evaluating Amcorp Tower for an MD-related tax play, the building does not deliver a building-level MD designation.
Note: MD status is company-activity-based since 25 March 2022, not tied to a designated building. A tenant in Amcorp Tower can apply MD status based on the company's activity regardless of the building-level designation. The building-level designation matters for marketing/ecosystem signal, not for the tax application itself.
