The average sits above the median because a small number of premium towers (up to RM 17.00 psf) pull it up. The median is the more honest read of a typical building.

| Monthly budget | Approx. size | Approx. headcount |

| RM 10,000 | 2,000 sf | 13–25 people |
| RM 20,000 | 4,000 sf | 26–50 people |

6. Furnished versus bare
Co-working, effectively fully furnished and priced per seat, runs around RM 400/seat/month across the 23 flexible-space operators we track. Traditional bare-shell space at the citywide median works out to roughly RM 500 per desk per month before fit-out, using a 100 sq ft/desk planning figure, before adding your own furniture and fit-out cost. Co-working wins on speed and zero fit-out capex; traditional space wins on long-run cost per desk once you're past roughly 15 to 20 people and can amortise a fit-out over a multi-year lease.

8. Market observations
- Our dataset indicates KLCC remains the deepest market by supply, with 68 buildings tracked, more than three times the next-largest district.
- TRX carries the single highest asking rent in our directory (up to RM 17.00 psf), but KLCC has more than three times as many Grade A buildings overall (13 versus 3), giving KLCC the deeper premium-tier selection despite TRX's ceiling price.
- KL Sentral's median asking rent (RM 7.00 psf) currently runs above both TRX and KLCC in our dataset, though on a smaller sample of 14 buildings, worth reading as a signal, not a settled fact, until more buildings there are added.
- Wangsa Maju / Setapak is the clearest budget outlier we track, with a median asking rent under RM2.00 psf, well below every other district in the directory.

Frequently asked questions
Where does this data come from?
Our own directory of Kuala Lumpur office buildings and co-working spaces, tracked and kept current by FindMyOfficeKL, not a third-party market report. Figures reflect asking rates in our directory, not confirmed transaction data.
Why median instead of average rent?
A handful of ultra-premium towers (RM15 to RM17 psf) skew the average upward. The median, the middle value when every building is lined up in order, gives a more honest read of what a typical building in an area actually asks.
How often is this report updated?
The underlying numbers are computed live from our directory every time this page loads, so they move as buildings are added, removed, or repriced. There is no separate stale PDF version.
