What Is PJ Midtown? Overview and Core Identity
PJ Midtown is a leasehold serviced residence in Seksyen 13, Petaling Jaya, developed by PJ Midtown Development Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between IOI Properties Group Berhad and Sime Darby Brunsfield. The project was completed in 2019 and forms a self-contained mixed-use development on 5.5 acres, combining 758 serviced residential units, office spaces, retail, and a 4-storey shop office component.
Three unit sizes are offered: 613 sq ft with 1 bedroom, 915 sq ft with 2 bedrooms, and 1,227 sq ft with 3 bedrooms.

Where Is PJ Midtown Located? Location and Public Transport
PJ Midtown is located along Jalan Kemajuan in the rezoned Section 13 neighbourhood of Petaling Jaya, within the established Petaling Jaya commercial and residential corridor. The development is approximately 10 km from KLCC and situated between the Petaling Jaya old town commercial belt and the newer Section 13 commercial precinct.
Asia Jaya LRT station on the Kelana Jaya Line (KJ15) is approximately 1.5 km from PJ Midtown. Phileo Damansara MRT station (Kajang Line) is approximately 2.7 km away. Bus routes and taxis are available along Jalan Kemajuan and adjacent roads.
What Roads Serve PJ Midtown? Road Access and Traffic Reality
PJ Midtown is accessible via Jalan Kemajuan, which connects to Jalan Semangat, Jalan Universiti, and the Federal Highway. The SPRINT Highway and LDP are also accessible within a short drive. The Federal Highway provides a direct route toward KL city centre and Mid Valley Megamall.
Section 13 and the Jalan Kemajuan corridor experience moderate weekday peak-hour congestion. The Section 13 area benefits from multiple road network connections, giving more flexibility in peak-hour routing compared to single-access developments.
What Are the Unit Sizes at PJ Midtown? Unit Layouts and Parking
PJ Midtown offers three built-up sizes, all with a balcony and single-load corridor design.
- 1 bedroom: 613 sq ft
- 2 bedrooms: 915 sq ft
- 3 bedrooms: 1,227 sq ft
Car park allocation ranges from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 3 bays per unit depending on unit type. The maintenance fee is RM 0.33 per sq ft per month including sinking fund.

Security features include CCTV, card access system, digital lockset, intercom, and panic buttons. A sky terrace with views of PJ and KL is a signature feature of the development.
Is PJ Midtown High Density? Density and Vertical Living
758 units across 2 blocks of 29 to 30 storeys on 5.5 acres gives an estimated density of approximately 138 units per acre — moderate for a Section 13 PJ mixed-use development. The single-load corridor design is a practical differentiator, ensuring each unit has at least one external-facing aspect and natural ventilation access. Three lifts per block serve approximately 379 units per tower, giving a manageable per-lift unit load.

How Does PJ Midtown Compare With Nearby Condominiums?
Casa Tropicana (Petaling Jaya) is a residential condominium in the Tropicana-Section 13 corridor, referenced as a nearby comparable in PropertyGuru listings. Casa Tropicana represents the established PJ residential condominium market that provides a comparison baseline for PJ Midtown's mixed-use serviced residence product.
Pelangi Damansara (Sunway Damansara, Petaling Jaya) is another nearby development in the same PJ corridor, listed in PropertyGuru as a comparable. It offers a residential strata comparison for buyers evaluating PJ Midtown's commercial title against a residential title option in the same part of Petaling Jaya.
Who Is PJ Midtown Suitable For?
PJ Midtown may suit professionals, couples, and families who want a Section 13 PJ address at a built-up size from 613 sq ft to 1,227 sq ft. The single-load corridor design and sky terrace distinguish PJ Midtown from typical corridor-layout serviced apartments in the same price range. The proximity to Jaya One, Jaya 33, and Mid Valley Megamall provides strong lifestyle convenience.
It is less suited to buyers who prioritise freehold tenure or a residential strata title, given the leasehold status and commercial individual title. The 1.5 km walk to Asia Jaya LRT is not immediately walkable for daily use without a feeder option.
What Are the Main Trade-Offs to Consider?
The commercial individual land title means electricity and water are charged at commercial tariff rates. The mixed-use nature of PJ Midtown, combining residential units, offices, and retail on the same site, creates a community environment that includes commercial traffic and activity during business hours.
Asia Jaya LRT at approximately 1.5 km requires a feeder bus, bicycle, or short ride for daily rail commuting. Phileo Damansara MRT at approximately 2.7 km is further still. The area is primarily car-dependent for rail access.
Leasehold tenure requires buyers to confirm the remaining lease term, as the lease expiry was not confirmed in available sources.
