Pusat Bandar Damansara is a township in the Segambut constituency of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The original buildings making up the township were constructed between 1981 and 1984, and were demolished in 2016 for new development.

Background[]

Offices in the original buildings of Damansara Town Centre were occupied by government ministries, departments and other private corporations such as Damansara Realty Berhad, Indah Water Konsortium, HELP University College and Johor Corporation (J-Corp). Department of Immigration Malaysia and Ministry of Housing, and Local Governments Malaysia used to have their offices here and have since moved to Putrajaya, while passport renewal services were relocated to Pudu Sentral several years ago. Restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets were located on the ground floor.

During the upgrading of Jalan Damansara into Sprint Expressway's Damansara Link in 2000, the town centre became an "island" between separate carriageways. In 2011 the Damansara Twins apartment block opened, the first of many high rise buildings to come. In 2014 it was announced that the original buildings of Damansara Town Centre will be demolished and redeveloped as office buildings, apartments, a hotel and 'Pavilion 2', the sister of the Pavilion Mall in Bukit Bintang in downtown Kuala Lumpur.^[1]
