What is Icon City?
Icon City is a mixed-use integrated development in Section 13, Petaling Jaya, developed by Mah Sing Group. It combines serviced residences, retail, offices and a hotel within a single large-scale township. Tenants are typically young professionals and couples who want PJ access without relying on a car for daily errands.
Icon City sits between the mature commercial districts of Section 13 and the emerging Damansara–Petaling Jaya corridor. The development is well-known locally as one of Mah Sing Group's early large-footprint township projects in Petaling Jaya, featuring high-rise serviced suites alongside retail podiums and office towers. Because it is a serviced-residence project rather than a standard condominium, management charges and rental positioning differ slightly from older landed or condo stock in the surrounding area.

Icon City's retail podium means everyday groceries, food outlets, and services are accessible within the development. The trade-off: being in Section 13 means commuting to KLCC or Bukit Bintang requires either a drive or a multi-mode journey (feeder bus or ride-hailing to an LRT station). Tenants who rely on rail should confirm their exact commute before signing.
Commute and access
Icon City is not within walking distance of any LRT or MRT station. Taman Jaya LRT station is the nearest rail point; tenants typically use a feeder bus, Grab, or a short drive to reach it. Budget 15–25 minutes from door to station depending on traffic and mode.
The Kelana Jaya Line from Taman Jaya connects westward toward Subang Jaya and eastward through KL Sentral, Masjid Jamek and Ampang. For tenants commuting to Bangsar, Brickfields, or the City Centre, this line is useful — but the first/last mile from Icon City to the station needs a plan. Parking within Icon City's towers varies by unit allocation; if you need a parking bay, confirm availability and any monthly charges with the landlord before signing.
For tenants commuting by car, Icon City is reasonably positioned near the SPRINT and Federal Highway interchange points, though peak-hour congestion between Section 13 and KL City Centre is the standard PJ trade-off.

Renting at Icon City — what to check
Before signing, verify the unit's built-up size, furnishing inventory, parking allocation, and management fee responsibility. Serviced-residence projects carry different maintenance-charge structures than standard condos — confirm whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for maintenance fees in the tenancy agreement.
Key checklist items specific to Icon City:
- Management fee: serviced residences typically include higher maintenance fees than older condos. The TA should state clearly whether this is the landlord's cost or passed to the tenant.
- Parking: confirm the number of bays, whether they are assigned, and whether any visitor bays are available.
- Furnishing: Icon City units are predominantly offered fully or partially furnished. Photograph every item at handover — water damage, aircon filter condition, and cabinet wear are the most common end-of-tenancy disputes.
- Utilities: TNB and water accounts can typically be transferred to the tenant's name; confirm the process with the landlord at move-in.
- Floor and tower: higher floors in the residential towers command premium rents and better views; units facing the retail podium may have noise tradeoffs.

Renting with SPEEDHOME at Icon City
SPEEDHOME lists Icon City serviced residences under the Petaling Jaya rental pool. Landlords listing through SPEEDHOME use a standard tenancy framework that covers furnishing inventory, utility handover and maintenance-fee responsibility from the start.
The SPEEDHOME tenancy agreement template addresses the items that generate disputes in serviced-residence projects: who pays management fees, how parking bays are allocated, and the furnishing checklist format. That means fewer handover arguments at move-out.
For eligible units, Zero Deposit is available. Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system, not a financial guarantee product. It replaces the upfront cash deposit; in the rare case of severe end-of-tenancy damage the recoverable amount can be limited, so it is not a blanket guarantee. Not every unit qualifies — check the listing.
