Offices to rent in Malaysia: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Offices to rent in Malaysia cost from about RM 600 a desk in a serviced office, and the median office space listed is about RM 2,355 a month, according to listings and sellers' websites, November 2026. To get a current price for your size and area, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and licences to check

An office used for business generally needs a business premise licence from the local council. Guides estimate the fee at RM 200 to RM 500 for office and retail premises, so ask the landlord which licence the space already has. Commercial tenancies follow specific rules, so read the lease terms carefully before you sign.

Climate and the best time to rent

Malaysia is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so air conditioning, ventilation and a backup generator matter in an office. Rents are moving slowly: Klang Valley office rents rose only 0.5% year on year in Q2 2026, so November is a fair time to compare current listings. Ask whether the building has a generator for power cuts and shelter for parking in the rain.

How offices are priced and measured

Listings give rent per month, and many show area in square feet (sq ft). A mid-specification fit-out in KLCC runs RM 50 to RM 100 per sq ft, which adds real cost on top of rent. Write your area in square metres (m²) in the request. For example, 60 m² is about 646 sq ft. Ask whether the rent includes utilities and management fees, and compare Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Shah Alam on the same basis.

What to write in your request

Give the area in m², the town and the building type you want, such as a purpose-built office or a serviced office. Add the number of workstations, your monthly budget in RM, the layout you need (open plan or separate rooms), and whether you need furniture. Mention the lease term in months or years, and whether you need a generator or covered parking.
