Damansara Heights () is an affluent residential and commercial suburb in western Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, located approximately west of the city centre. It forms part of the Segambut parliamentary constituency.
History The initial development of Damansara Heights began in 1971 as a dedicated housing scheme for civil servants on of acquired land comprising landed plots, flats, and shophouses.
The neighbourhood's primary commercial anchor was established with the construction of Wisma Damansara, a 16-storey office building completed by Selangor Properties in 1970, which was the first commercial office building in the suburb.
Wisma Damansara redevelopment Wisma Damansara subsequently became vacant and, in October 2024, Selangor Properties sold the site along Jalan Semantan to BRDB Developments Sdn Bhd. In March 2025, BRDB appointed British architectural firm Heatherwick Studio to design a mixed-use development consisting of residential, retail, and community spaces under the working title Damansara Land. The proposed redevelopment density drew objections from neighbouring residents, and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) stated in October 2025 that the proposal remained subject to technical reviews.
