1 First Avenue is indeed among the most strategic located corporate office in Petaling Jaya. Sited in well-established neighborhood of Bandar Utama, its location is well-positioned in between 1 World Hotel and 1 Utama Shopping Centre. Hence, your clients can enjoy their stay at the 5-star hotel for meetings and conference within walking distance-convenience to the office. You will also enjoy abundance of restaurants, cafes and fine dining in the shopping mall.However, the rental rate of 1 First Avenue is quite high compared to surrounding office towers. Corporate office rate in nearby Mutiara Damansara such as Menara UAC and Menara KLK are asking at 10% below 1 First Avenue. PJ Trade Centre is asking at 20% below the rental rate here. Perhaps, that is the price for a MSC status building which is still rare.
