The Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT Station, otherwise known as Pavilion Damansara Heights–Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT Station for sponsorship purposes, is a mass rapid transit (MRT) station serving the areas of Damansara Town Centre, Damansara Heights and Bangsar in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It is one of the stations of the Kajang Line and was opened on 16 December 2016 when Phase One of the line became operational.[1]
Station features
[edit]Station location
[edit]The station adopts the standard elevated station design for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line, with two side platforms above the concourse level. The station is located above the two-level Maarof Interchange of the Sprint Expressway, making it among the highest stations above ground level of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line.
The station is located adjacent to the Pavilion Damansara Heights development and a direct connection is planned between the retail area of the development and the station.[2]

Entrance B was temporarily closed off due to the construction of the Pavilion Damansara Heights development in August 2021. It was reconstructed with a new exterior as part of the development and reopened on 9 October 2023.[3]

The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus hub access via Entrance B of the station except T817 in Entrance A. With the reconstruction of Entrance B of the station from August 2021, bus routes T818, T819, T820 and T852 will operate from KG14 Semantan MRT station instead until further notice.
