Bandar Utama MRT station
Petaling District, Malaysia · built 2026
The Bandar Utama station is a rapid transit interchange station serving the suburb of Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia as well as parts of Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), Kuala Lumpur which lie across the Damansara–Puchong Expressway (LDP) from the station. It is one of the stations of the MRT Kajang Line and LRT Shah Alam Line. The MRT section was opened on 16 December 2016 while the LRT section opened on 29 June 2026. This station is located next to the 1 Utama Shopping Centre, one of the biggest shopping malls in the Klang Valley. Other well-known landmarks near the station are the One World Hotel, Plaza IBM and KPMG Tower, which are linked to the station via a pedestrian link-bridge.
The MRT portion of the station is located beside the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) directly behind the Sri Pentas Building in Bandar Utama. The station's support columns are located between the expressway and the water channel, which runs parallel to the expressway. The station adopts the standard elevated station design for the Kajang Line, a "wakaf" conceptual design with two side platforms above the concourse level. However, unlike the other elevated stations, there are no escalators, lifts or staircases linking the station directly to ground level, nor are there any lay-bys for buses, taxis and cars at ground level directly below the station. Access to the station is via link bridges from the 1Powerhouse Building, where the feeder bus stop and park and ride facilities are located, and from the One World Hotel and 1 Utama complex.
The LRT portion of the station is located perpendicular to the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP), and parallel to Sungai Kayu Ara directly beside the 1Powerhouse building in Bandar Utama. The station adopts the standard station design for the Shah Alam Line; inspired by the "tanjak" conceptual design with an island platform that has a slightly trapezium layout above the concourse level. Similar to the Kajang Line portion of the station, there are no escalators, lifts or staircases linking the station directly to ground level, nor are there any lay-bys for buses, taxis and cars at ground level directly below the station. Access to the station is via link bridges from the 1Powerhouse Building, where the feeder bus stop and park and ride facilities are located, and from the One World Hotel and 1 Utama complex.
Access to both stations are via two pedestrian link bridges: one connecting Entrance A to the neighbouring 1Powerhouse Building which also serves as the interconnecting walkway between the MRT and LRT stations, and another connecting Entrance B to 1 Utama. The second link bridge was opened on 1 February 2018. All these buildings are owned by Bandar Utama City Corporation Sdn Bhd, making this station the only one on the Kajang Line where access to the station is via properties owned by other entities. There is no access to the station from the ground level directly beneath the station along the Damansara–Puchong Expressway (LDP). The lay-by and stairs at this location are for emergency purposes only. The 1Powerhouse Building houses the feeder bus stop at the ground level, as well as the park-and-ride facility for the station, which takes up two basement levels. Taxi and private vehicle drop-off areas are also located on the ground floor of the building.
