“How much does it cost to rent an office?” is the first question most business owners ask — and the answer depends heavily on location, building grade and the services included. This guide gives you a realistic picture of office rental rates across the Klang Valley so you can budget before you start viewing.
How Office Rent Is Priced
Office space in Malaysia is usually quoted as a monthly rate per square foot (PSF). To estimate your monthly rent, multiply the PSF rate by the unit’s size. A 1,000 sq ft office at RM5.00 PSF, for example, works out to RM5,000 a month before service charge.
On top of base rent, budget for these common add-ons:
- Service charge / maintenance fee (often quoted separately, PSF).
- Utilities — electricity, water and internet.
- Car park bays, usually charged per bay per month.
- Fit-out or renovation, if the unit is bare.
Indicative Rates by Area
The table below gives broad indicative ranges to help with early budgeting. Actual rates vary by building grade, floor, view and lease term.

Ways to Get a Better Rate
- Negotiate a rent-free fit-out period for longer leases.
- Consider Grade B buildings in the same area for a lower PSF with similar access.
- Look just outside prime zones — a few minutes’ difference in location can mean a big difference in rent.
- Ask about co-working or serviced options if you need flexibility or a short term.
