Quick answer
Emporis @ Kota Damansara is a leasehold serviced-residence and retail development on Persiaran Surian, Seksyen 3, developed by SCland Sdn Bhd, with units running roughly 684-1,047 sq ft. It sits within a few minutes' walk of two Kajang Line MRT stations — Kota Damansara and Surian — though that distance is a portal estimate, not a GPS-verified one.
Below: rent by layout, the facts we can and can't confirm, the honest MRT-walk question, who the building suits, and what to check before you sign. Where public sources don't agree or don't say, we keep the wording narrow rather than fill the gap with an invented number.
How much is rent at Emporis @ Kota Damansara?
Rent at Emporis @ Kota Damansara varies by layout: studio and 1-bedroom units sit toward the lower end, 2- and 3-bedroom units toward the top. Portal listings show wide, time-varying bands — treat these as reference only.
| Layout | Built-up (sqft) | Indicative rent (portal range) |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | ~684-1,047 | Roughly RM950-RM1,400/month — check live listings |
| 2-3 bedroom | ~684-1,047 | Roughly RM1,700-RM3,999+/month — check live listings |
These figures come from PropertyGuru, iProperty and EdgeProp listings and move with floor, furnishing and view — SPEEDHOME's live filter is the source of truth for a current asking price.
Worked example: say a 2-bedroom unit at Emporis asks RM2,200/month. Budget roughly RM2,200 (first month's rent) + RM1,100 (half-month utility deposit) = RM3,300 upfront before any security deposit, plus a small stamping fee via e-Duti Setem on MyTax. Zero Deposit on eligible SPEEDHOME listings replaces the security-deposit leg of that upfront cash; the utility deposit and rent in advance still apply.

Is Emporis @ Kota Damansara walkable to the MRT?
Roughly — portal and route estimates put the closer of Kota Damansara MRT and Surian MRT at about 3-5 minutes' walk (approx. 300-500m), but that's a mapped estimate, not a title-verified or GPS-measured distance.
Both stations sit on the Kajang Line near Persiaran Surian, so Emporis is genuinely well-placed for MRT access compared to buildings further from the corridor — just don't take "a few minutes' walk" as "right at the doorstep." Walk the actual route from the specific unit you're viewing, at the time of day you'd commute, before you rely on it. SPEEDHOME's platform records show 2BR+ layouts are the most-requested unit type in this corridor, which tracks with a mixed tenant base of young professionals and small families rather than single students only.
Who Emporis @ Kota Damansara suits — and who should look elsewhere
Emporis @ Kota Damansara suits a tenant who wants a short, tested walk to Kajang Line rail and doesn't mind a mixed-use, retail-podium building; it's a weaker fit for anyone who needs a confirmed unit count, a known completion year, or a fully residential-only precinct before committing.
It fits you if you are
- Commuting via Kota Damansara or Surian MRT and want the shortest realistic walk in the area
- Comfortable with a mixed-use, live-work-play building with retail lots at ground/podium level
- Fine with a studio-to-3-bedroom size range topping out at ~1,047 sqft
- Looking for ZD eligibility, no-agent-fee, or a verified-listing workflow on SPEEDHOME
Look elsewhere if you are
- Someone who wants a confirmed total unit count or completion year before shortlisting — neither is verified here
- A family needing more built-up area than ~1,047 sqft offers
- Someone who prefers a purely residential precinct without ground-floor retail traffic
- Expecting a single fixed rent figure rather than a portal range you still have to confirm
Honest drawbacks of Emporis @ Kota Damansara
The trade-offs to weigh here are the unconfirmed unit count and completion year, the retail-podium mixed-use setting, and rent bands that swing widely by floor and furnishing.
- Unconfirmed unit count and completion year — public sources don't agree or don't state these; don't rely on a headline figure you see elsewhere without checking with the management office.
- Mixed-use precinct — retail lots at podium level mean more foot traffic and possibly more noise than a purely residential block; weigh that against the commute convenience.
- Wide rent range — RM950 to RM3,999+ is a large spread; the number that matters is the live asking on the exact unit and floor you're viewing, not the range.
- MRT distance is an estimate — a few minutes' walk on paper is not the same as a verified door-to-platform time; test it yourself.
What to check before viewing and signing
Test the real walk to Kota Damansara or Surian MRT, ask the management office for the confirmed unit count and completion year, check parking allocation, and pay only through verified accounts.
| Item to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Real MRT commute | Test the walk (or drive) to Kota Damansara/Surian MRT yourself — the ~3-5 minute figure is a portal estimate |
| Unit count / completion year | Ask the management office directly; public sources don't confirm either figure |
| Retail-podium noise | Visit at a busy time of day to judge foot traffic and noise from ground-floor retail |
| Furnishing inventory | Photograph every item and surface before move-in |
| Payment route | Verify the landlord or agent through the SPEEDHOME platform before paying — SPEEDHOME has had zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026, achieved by verifying every listing and landlord before it goes live |
| Stamped tenancy agreement | Do not move in without a stamped TA; stamping is via e-Duti Setem on MyTax |
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.
