Jalan Sultan is part of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown. The old but vibrant commercial street links to the famous Petaling Street (Jalan Petaling) and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock that usually attract crowds of tourists and locals.
A new tenant rented the lower two floors of this four-storey shoplot along Jalan Sultan in July 2020 under a deal concluded by Simon Soon from Tech Real Estate Sdn Bhd.
While the upper two floors are owned by separate owners, the new tenant has taken up the ground floor and the first floor for a three-year term. The agreed monthly rent is at RM16,000, with rebates given for the first two years.
Soon shared that the tenant has been running a food business for 16 years in a small stall in a traditional Chinese coffee shop at Jalan Tun H S Lee and decided to open his own restaurant.
“The growing business has been passed on to the second generation of the family. They have decided to rent a bigger space and they have found that this is a good opportunity to move into a shop in a well-known location,” Soon noted.
