How much is rent at D28 Damansara?
Indicative asking rent at D28 Damansara in 2026 varies by floor and furnishing; the live platform listing is the source of truth for any specific unit.
| Layout | Indicative built-up (sqft) | What you actually pay |
|---|---|---|
| Fully furnished studio (the only layout) | Check live listings — the published project profile does not state a per-layout sqft range | Check live listings — published ranges are indicative only |
D28 Damansara is studios-only across the whole building — there are no 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom options, which sets it apart from the mixed-layout buildings in this corridor. Tenants who need a larger unit should look at nearby buildings instead of waiting for one here.
Move-in cash to budget: first month's rent + half-month utility deposit + small stamping fee via e-Duti Setem. Zero Deposit on eligible SPEEDHOME listings replaces the security-deposit leg; the utility deposit and rent in advance still apply.

Who does D28 Damansara suit — and who should look elsewhere?
D28 Damansara fits tenants who work around Damansara Heights, Bangsar or KL Sentral and are happy with a fully furnished studio next to an MRT station; tenants who need more than one bedroom should pick a different building in the same corridor.
It fits you if you are
- Working in Damansara Heights, Bangsar or around KL Sentral and prioritizing a rail commute — the MRT is about a 3-minute walk
- Single or a couple, for whom a fully furnished studio is enough
- Looking for a move-in-ready furnished unit without buying furniture
- Using the co-working area, convenience store and laundry on site as part of daily routine
- Looking for ZD eligibility, no-agent-fee, or a verified-listing workflow on SPEEDHOME
Look elsewhere if you are
- A household that needs two or more bedrooms — the building is studios-only
- A family that needs more space or outdoor areas than a studio floor plan offers
- Not dependent on the MRT and preferring a quieter, cheaper corridor
- Preferring a newer building or a larger built-up than a refurbished 2007 tower
What are the honest drawbacks of D28 Damansara?
The main trade-offs to verify at D28 Damansara are the studio-only layout, parking inclusion, the condition of a 2007 building refurbished in 2020, and peak-hour congestion on Jalan Damansara.
- Studios-only — the whole building is studio units; tenants needing more space must look at other buildings.
- Building age — the tower was completed in 2007 and refurbished in 2020; inspect lifts, corridors and common areas for maintenance standard at viewing.
- Parking bay inclusion — some units include one bay in rent; some price it separately. Studio buildings often have tight bay ratios — confirm in writing before signing.
- Furnishing inventory — units are furnished per the published profile; photograph every item and surface at handover.
- Peak-hour congestion — Jalan Damansara runs long peak-hour queues. Budget the realistic drive, not the off-peak estimate.
What should you check before viewing and signing?
Confirm the commute from the building to your workplace, test water pressure and aircon, check parking bay inclusion, and pay only to verified accounts. Take dated handover photos before moving in.
| Item to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Real commute route | The MRT is about a 3-minute walk, but test the actual weekday-morning train time to your station; driving destinations still vary by peak hour |
| Parking bay | Confirm whether the bay is included in rent or priced separately |
| Water pressure | Multi-floor buildings can have pressure variation; test in bathrooms and kitchen |
| Aircon condition | Test all units; repair or replacement is a common dispute point |
| Furnishing inventory | Photograph every item and surface before move-in |
| Payment route | Verify the landlord or agent through the SPEEDHOME platform before paying — never cash only or to an unverified personal account |
| Stamped tenancy agreement | Do not move in without a stamped TA; stamping is via e-Duti Setem on MyTax |
| Access card fee | Some corridors charge separately for the access card or replacements; confirm up front |
Use the move-in and move-out checklist to prepare a complete handover record. Dated, acknowledged photos are your main protection if a dispute arises at the end of the tenancy.

Ask for the house rules in writing and check with the management office before you apply or move a pet in. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms.

On eligible SPEEDHOME listings, Zero Deposit replaces the security-deposit leg; the utility deposit and rent in advance still apply. Eligibility is per listing, not building-wide.
