Wisma UOA Pantai is a freehold commercial building located adjacent to the Federal Highway. It is a highly central office building, situated just 10 minutes away from the heart of the Kuala Lumpur city centre, while Petaling Jaya is 15 minutes away and Mont Kiara and Bangsar also at a 15 minutes drive away.Wisma UOA is a landmark on Federal Highway. It stands at 6 storeys tall with offices facing the Federal Highway and the restaurants facing the main road. The office building consist of 2 separate blocks. It is a fully privately owned building, with all the units purely for rent only. The units for rent come at between RM4.60 and RM6 psf, with office sizes of between 2,700 sf and 5,500 sf.Wisma UOA was declared as a Grade A building with all facilities provided such as personal parking lots for each office unit, as well as 24-hour security. Air-conditioning is centralised, and most renters may expect to move into a semi-furnished office with light fixings as well as an occasional carpeted office.Tenants of Wisma UOA will find that they are pleasantly well provided for in terms of food, with many restaurants downstairs. For more variety, they can also take a walk along the covered bridge to the new shopping mall in Bangsar South by the name of The Sphere. Muslims will also appreciate the very large and pleasant looking mosque within the Bangsar South area.The closest shopping mall is Mid Valley Megamall which is just down the road and almost within walking distance. Business travellers will be able to obtain excellent suites at the Cititel Mid Valley Hotel which connects directly with the shopping mall, providing easy access to many restaurants and shops. Also within the development is the Mid Valley Residence which is dedicated exclusively to the upmarket.Access to Wisma UOA is slightly more complicated than it appears to be, as even though it sits just off the Federal Highway, it is not directly accessible from the highway itself. Access to this building is only via the Jalan Pantai Baru, where residents will need to turn off from Federal Highway onto Lingkungan Budi which would then connect to Jalan Pantai Baru. Access via LRT is by far much easier as a station is located immediately within the building itself.

UOA Group is a familiar name in the commercial property development industry in the country. The company is originated from Australia and has been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) since 1987. Besides Wisma UOA Damansara II, the company also developed several other commercial and residential properties such as Bangsar South, Plaza Menjalara, Villa Yarl and Menara UOA Bangsar.Although Wisma UOA is strategically located in the sense that it has excellent visibility on the Federal Highway, getting to the building is quite problematic for motorists who do not know their way around the area. Even for those who know the area will find the traffic quite unbearable, especially during peak hours when traffic on the Federal Highway is at a standstill.The entire building of Wisma UOA appeared to not be very well done in the beginning stages, especially when paint started peeling and black dirt accumulated on the walls, making the office building an eyesore on the highway. Passerby on the LRT also find the building quite eerily quiet and empty from the inside when they pass through the station. The building has been undergoing a repainting job to transform it from a dirty orangey brown to grey in the past few months, but progress is extremely slow.
