Plaza Sentral Office
Occupier Guide.

All rentals quoted on this website include building service charges, including central air-conditioning from 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Check the furniture and equipment inventory separately for fitted or furnished units.

Budget separately for electricity, water where applicable, internet and telecommunications, season parking, office cleaning and applicable SST. Initial expenses can include tenancy deposits, fit-out work, renovation deposits and documentation costs. Confirm the billing arrangements and agreed inclusions before signing.

Tenants needing cooling outside the central air-conditioning schedule should plan for their own split-unit air-conditioning system, subject to building management approval. Assess cooling capacity, the approved condenser location, electrical supply, refrigerant piping and condensate drainage before installation. Allow for equipment, installation, electricity and ongoing maintenance costs. A technical review is especially useful for evening operations or a server room.

The general arrangement is a security deposit equivalent to three months of rent plus a utilities deposit equivalent to one month of rent. A tenant may request lower deposits, subject to the landlord’s approval. Confirm the agreed amounts, any separate renovation deposit, refund conditions and payment schedule in the tenancy documents.

The tenant generally pays the stamping fee for the tenancy agreement. Some landlords also require the tenant to pay the legal fee for preparing the agreement. Check with the agent before signing, obtain the fee breakdown and make sure the agreed responsibility is recorded in the tenancy documents.

The standard allocation ratio is one floating season parking bay per 1,000 sq ft of office space. Additional allocations are subject to availability. Confirm the actual allocation, current charges and application arrangements with the agent and car park management before committing to the office.

Plaza Sentral has no ground-floor turnstiles and no lift access-card requirement. Individual offices may have their own door access systems. Confirm visitor registration, security procedures, access outside normal business hours and moving arrangements with building management when planning your operations.

Yes. Tenants may appoint their own fit-out contractor, subject to the landlord’s consent and building management requirements. Submit the proposed plans and required documents to building management for approval before work starts. Partition changes must also be assessed for the relevant DBKL internal-partition or renovation submission and approval route, including OSC where applicable. Your contractor and, where required, a qualified submitting professional should confirm the process, fire-safety requirements, permitted working hours and renovation deposit before starting.

A bare office provides space for a new fit-out. A fitted office generally has an existing layout or installations, while a furnished office also includes agreed furniture. Check the actual handover condition, partitions, meeting rooms, cabling, furniture and equipment against a written inventory. An existing fit-out does not automatically mean all furniture or equipment is included.

A rent-free fit-out period may be negotiated with the landlord; it is not automatic. Record its duration, the rental commencement date and any charges payable during that period. Plan time for approvals, contractor mobilisation, internet installation and the move. An office’s availability date and your operational start date may differ.

Rental SST treatment depends on the landlord’s service-tax registration position and any exemption available to the tenant under the current Customs rules. Landlord rental turnover and tenant business turnover may affect registration or exemption eligibility, but turnover alone does not determine the final treatment. Confirm the applicable treatment, supporting documents and whether the quotation includes any applicable SST before signing. A No Rental SST listing label should be checked for the proposed tenancy.

Check which internet providers can serve the unit, installation lead times, existing data cabling and the electrical capacity needed by your equipment. A server room may require dedicated cooling outside central air-conditioning hours. Include these requirements in the fit-out plan and obtain the necessary approvals before ordering equipment or committing to a move-in date.

Agree who is responsible for maintaining existing air-conditioning equipment, electrical installations, furniture and other landlord-provided items. Read the reinstatement clause before altering the office: it should establish what must be removed or restored at lease expiry. At handover, record the condition, defects, meter readings, office keys or door-access devices and the agreed inventory with photographs.
