Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Empire Damansara
Small, low-entry units in a busy Damansara Perdana precinct. Here is the case, and the catch.
A low entry price for PJ
Studios are listed from about RM153,000 and SOHO duplexes from about RM205,000 (Mudah, July–October 2026).
Shops, offices and a hotel on site
The precinct mixes the four residential towers with offices, retail lots and a hotel, so daily needs are close to home.
Highway links
StarProperty puts Mont Kiara, TTDI and Bangsar about five minutes’ drive away, with the LDP, Penchala Link and Federal Highway in reach. PropertyGuru names Mutiara Damansara as the nearest MRT station.
What to weigh: commercial title and paid parking
iProperty records a commercial strata title, which can mean commercial-rate quit rent and utility tariffs, and StarProperty notes that residents pay monthly for parking. Check both before you offer.
The development
Empire Damansara, decoded

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Layouts here run from about 345 to 725 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

No. It is leasehold, and iProperty records a commercial strata title for the residential towers. Check the title and lease expiry with your lawyer.
Can a foreigner buy here?

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
