EMHUB Kota Damansara: Ramp-Up Strata Factory Units, Specs, Prices and Rents

Key Takeaways

• EMHUB is a ramp-up strata factory complex on Persiaran Surian, Kota Damansara: two six-storey blocks of about 450 to 470 units of roughly 2,200 to 5,100 sq ft, where cars and trucks of up to 5 tonnes drive up a ramp to each unit's door.
• Tenure is leasehold strata. Every EMHUB transfer in JPPH records is registered as leasehold (pajakan), so you buy a strata parcel, not land.
• Prices: about 266 JPPH-recorded EMHUB transfers from 2019 to mid-2026 had a median of roughly RM1.6 million (about RM700 psf). In the 24 months to July 2026, the 9 deals recorded as stratified factories had a median of RM1.55 million (RM600 psf) for a median 2,379 sq ft.
• Rent: most JPPH-registered tenancies for EMHUB factory units signed in the second half of 2025 were RM5,500 to RM7,500 a month for 2,200 to 2,800 sq ft, or about RM2.0 to RM2.7 psf.
• Best fit: e-commerce stock, showrooms, light assembly, service and trade businesses that need an office plus storage near Damansara. Heavy machinery, container trailers and high-amp production belong in a landed factory.

EMHUB Kota Damansara is a strata industrial hub in Seksyen 3, Taman Sains Selangor, developed by Em Hub Sdn Bhd, with units that combine an office, showroom and warehouse behind a drive-up loading bay on every floor. Resale units have traded at about RM1.3 million to RM1.7 million in recent JPPH records, and registered rents for factory units are mostly RM5,500 to RM7,500 a month. It suits small, clean, high-turnover businesses rather than heavy manufacturing.

What is EMHUB? Developer, launch and completion

EMHUB was the first project of Em Hub Sdn Bhd. A 2022 developer feature in The Edge described Em Hub Sdn Bhd as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcom Group Bhd, the Bursa Main Market aluminium manufacturer, and put the project value at RM818 million. The same feature gives the main facts most buyers ask about:

Item	EMHUB Kota Damansara
Address	Persiaran Surian, Seksyen 3, Taman Sains Selangor, Kota Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya
Site	9.4 acres of leasehold industrial land
Buildings	2 blocks, 6 storeys each
Units	About 468 in total per the developer (Hub 1: 234 units, launched Q1 2019; Hub 2: 217 units, launched April 2021)
Unit sizes (developer)	About 2,200 to 5,088 sq ft
Launch pricing	From RM485 psf, RM1.1 million to RM4.2 million
Vehicle access	Ramp on every storey for cars and trucks up to 5 tonnes
Loading	2 bays in front of intermediate units, 3 for corner units
Lifts	Up to 12 lifts, including 4 cargo lifts per block
Maintenance fee at launch	About RM0.25 psf a month

The developer's own unit counts do not add up exactly (234 plus 217 is 451, not 468), so treat "about 450 to 470 units" as the safe figure. Level 1 includes "Galleria" units aimed at retail and showroom use.

On completion: JPPH-registered tenancies at EMHUB start from April 2023, so the blocks were occupied by then. If you are buying, ask for the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC) date and the strata title status in the sale documents rather than relying on brochure dates.

Unit types and specs: what you actually get

EMHUB units are sold as one product type, a stratified factory, but buyers use them in three ways:

1. Office plus storage (most common). A front office and a rear storage area, with goods moved by van or small lorry straight to the door.
2. Showroom or trade counter. Ground-level and Level 1 Galleria units get walk-in traffic from Persiaran Surian.
3. Light assembly or packing. The double-volume ceiling allows a mezzanine, which is why JPPH records some units at 1,755 to 2,200 sq ft of main floor and others up to about 4,700 sq ft.

The developer has not published floor loading, power supply per unit or clear ceiling height. These are the three numbers that decide whether your operation fits, so get them in writing from the management office or a building plan before you pay a deposit. If you plan racking or machines, run the figures through our floor loading calculator and ask what the upper floors were designed for.

Strata title: what it means at EMHUB

At EMHUB you own a strata parcel inside a building on a shared master title, plus a share of the common property (ramps, lifts, car parks, rooftop facilities). Three practical consequences:

• You pay service charges and a sinking fund to the joint management body or management corporation, on top of quit rent and assessment. Ask for a letter confirming there are no arrears.
• Changes need approval. Mezzanines, signage, extra power and fit-out loads go through building management and the council.
• Bank financing depends on the strata title. A unit with an individual strata title issued is easier to finance and transfer than one still under the master title.

Our guide to strata title versus individual title factories covers loans, transfers and resale in more detail.

Location and access: Kota Damansara, MRT, DASH, NKVE and LDP

EMHUB fronts Persiaran Surian, the main spine of Kota Damansara, inside the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) area. Access points:

Link	How it connects
MRT Kajang Line	Kota Damansara and Surian stations both stand above Persiaran Surian (Rapid KL); Kota Damansara station is roughly a kilometre away
DASH	The 20.1 km Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway opened on 13 October 2022 and passes Surian, Seksyen 5 and Kota Damansara on its way from Penchala to Puncak Perdana
NKVE and LDP	The developer lists the New Klang Valley Expressway and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway as the main road links to the rest of the Klang Valley

For a distribution business this is the point of EMHUB: you are inside a dense Damansara, Sungai Buloh and Petaling Jaya customer base, with staff able to arrive by MRT. Port Klang and the airport are a longer run than from Shah Alam or Klang, so EMHUB is a last-mile location, not a port-side one.

EMHUB prices: JPPH transaction data

FactoryHub groups JPPH records for Kota Damansara under our Sungai Buloh and Kota Damansara transaction data, where EMHUB appears as "Em Hub". JPPH-recorded transactions to July 2026:

Year	EMHUB transfers	Median price	Median RM psf	Median recorded size
2019	35	RM1.44m	RM641	2,196 sq ft
2020	11	RM1.42m	RM687	2,164 sq ft
2021	49	RM1.63m	RM716	2,196 sq ft
2022	78	RM1.61m	RM715	2,196 sq ft
2023	34	RM2.09m	RM666	2,619 sq ft
2024	34	RM1.60m	RM699	2,196 sq ft
2025	21	RM1.65m	RM725	2,196 sq ft
2026 (to mid-year)	4	RM1.67m	RM800	2,266 sq ft

The 2023 jump in the median price came from larger units changing hands, not a price spike: price per square foot stayed in the RM640 to RM730 band across 2019 to 2025. Psf is on the recorded main floor area, so a unit with a large mezzanine can look dearer per foot than it is.

On the narrower 24-month window, JPPH has 9 EMHUB deals classified as stratified factories, with a median of RM1.55 million, an interquartile range of RM1.31 million to RM1.68 million, and a median size of 2,379 sq ft.

How EMHUB compares with landed factories nearby

Product (Sungai Buloh and Kota Damansara, 24 months to July 2026)	Median price	Median RM psf	Median built-up
EMHUB strata unit	RM1.55m	RM600	2,379 sq ft
Terrace factory	RM1.49m	RM573	2,877 sq ft
Semi-detached factory	RM5.15m	RM1,121	4,800 sq ft
Detached factory	RM6.11m	RM492	14,813 sq ft

A terrace factory in Sungai Buloh costs about the same as an EMHUB unit and comes with its own land, but it is further out and usually older. Kota Damansara semi-detached factories in Seksyen 3 traded at a median of RM8.3 million in the same window, which is why buyers who want a Kota Damansara address on a budget end up in EMHUB. For the wider picture see our Sungai Buloh factory price benchmarks and the freehold versus leasehold comparison for Kota Damansara.

EMHUB rent: what tenants pay

JPPH-registered tenancies give a clear picture for 2025. For EMHUB units registered as stratified factories with terms starting between September and December 2025:

• Most rents were RM5,500 to RM7,500 a month for 204 to 260 sq m (about 2,200 to 2,800 sq ft).
• The median was RM6,500 a month, or about RM2.3 psf.
• A larger 430 sq m (about 4,600 sq ft) unit was registered at RM14,000 a month.
• Terms were mostly one to two years.

EMHUB units registered as office or retail space let in a similar range, RM4,700 to RM9,500 a month, which shows how many tenants use the building for office-led businesses. Across all registered stratified factory tenancies in Sungai Buloh and Kota Damansara over 24 months, the median was RM5,500 a month and RM2.10 psf.

For an owner, RM6,500 a month on a RM1.6 million unit is a gross yield of about 4.9% before service charges, quit rent, assessment and void periods. Tenants comparing options should also look at factory rents in Petaling Jaya and landed units on our Sungai Buloh factory for rent page.

Who uses EMHUB units

The developer pitched EMHUB at SMEs, e-commerce and logistics businesses. Typical occupiers of ramp-up strata units are:

• Online sellers holding fast-moving stock, with daily courier pick-ups at the door
• Distributors of light goods such as electronics, cosmetics, apparel and spare parts
• Showrooms and trade counters for building materials, lighting or furniture
• Service firms: printing, signage, IT hardware, event equipment
• Light assembly, packing and kitting, where machines are small and power demand is low

Food processing, chemicals, metalwork and anything needing 400A and above or heavy forklifts will struggle with shared ramps, unknown floor loading and the approvals that come with strata. Those users should look at landed units on our Kota Damansara factory for sale page or in Sungai Buloh.

Strata hub vs landed factory: pros and cons

	Strata hub (EMHUB)	Landed factory (terrace, semi-D, detached)
Entry price	About RM1.3m to RM1.7m	From about RM1.5m (terrace) to RM5m+ (semi-D) nearby
Land	Share of common property only	Own land, can extend within plot ratio
Loading	Drive-up ramp, vehicles up to 5 tonnes	Direct lorry access, often container-capable
Floor loading and power	Set by the building, not published	Can be upgraded with engineer and TNB
Running costs	Service charge and sinking fund	No service charge; you maintain the building
Staff access	MRT within walking distance	Usually car-dependent
Control	Renovation and signage need management consent	Full control within council rules

Buyer and tenant checklist for EMHUB

1. Title status: individual strata title issued or still under the master title? Get the title search.
2. Lease expiry: EMHUB is leasehold. Check the remaining term on the title; it affects loan tenure and resale.
3. Permitted use: confirm your activity fits the unit's approved use and that MBPJ will issue your business licence for it.
4. Floor loading and power: ask for the design floor load of your level and the rated supply to the unit in amps.
5. Vehicle fit: your largest regular vehicle must fit the 5-tonne ramp and headroom.
6. Service charge and sinking fund: current rate per sq ft, and a no-arrears letter from management.
7. Allocated bays: how many loading and parking bays belong to the unit.
8. Fire safety: the building's fire certificate is current, and any fit-out you plan does not block sprinklers or exits.
9. Foreign buyers: Selangor sets a minimum price for foreign purchases of industrial buildings, RM3 million, which most EMHUB units are below; see our foreign company factory guide before you book.
10. Exit plan: compare the asking price against the JPPH psf band above, not against the launch price.

FAQ

Is EMHUB Kota Damansara freehold or leasehold?

EMHUB is leasehold. The developer described the 9.4-acre site as leasehold industrial land, and every EMHUB transfer in JPPH records is registered as leasehold. Check the remaining lease term on the strata title before you buy, because it affects loan tenure and resale value.

Who is the developer of EMHUB?

EMHUB was developed by Em Hub Sdn Bhd. A 2022 feature in The Edge described it as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcom Group Bhd, a Bursa Malaysia Main Market company whose main business is aluminium manufacturing. Hub 1 launched in the first quarter of 2019 and Hub 2 in April 2021.

How much does an EMHUB unit cost?

JPPH-recorded EMHUB transfers from 2019 to mid-2026 had a median of about RM1.6 million, or roughly RM700 psf. In the 24 months to July 2026, the 9 deals recorded as stratified factories had a median of RM1.55 million for 2,379 sq ft. Larger corner and Galleria units cost more.

What is the rent for an EMHUB unit?

Most JPPH-registered tenancies for EMHUB factory units starting in late 2025 were RM5,500 to RM7,500 a month for about 2,200 to 2,800 sq ft. That is roughly RM2.0 to RM2.7 psf, with a median of RM6,500 a month. Service charges are usually paid by the owner, but confirm this in the tenancy agreement.

Can lorries reach the upper floors at EMHUB?

Yes, within limits. Each storey has a ramp built for cars and trucks of up to 5 tonnes, and each unit has two or three bays at its door. Container trailers and larger rigid lorries are not designed for the ramp, so heavy inbound freight is better handled at a landed warehouse.

Which MRT station is closest to EMHUB?

Kota Damansara station on the MRT Kajang Line is about a kilometre away along Persiaran Surian, and Surian station is on the same road. This makes EMHUB one of the few industrial buildings in the Klang Valley that staff can reach by train.

Is EMHUB suitable for manufacturing?

It suits light assembly, packing and small-scale production with low power use. Floor loading and power per unit are not published, and changes need management and council approval. Food processing, chemicals, metalwork or high-amp lines should look at landed factories in Kota Damansara or Sungai Buloh instead.
