Abstrakt: Purpose-built office (PBO) market in Malaysia has shown progressive growths and increasing level of competitiveness. The increasing competition in the PBO's market would entail greater needs on their level of business sustainability. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research in the country that had actually studied in detail the level of sustainable locational of PBO in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to establish the sustainable PBO's location in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Delphi Method was selected as a reliable qualitative method based on the local context in developing sustainable business location's ranking through the viewpoints of local expert panels. It is believed that the viewpoints can deliver guidance to the researcher in recognising the quality of each PBO's sustainable business location in local environment. GIS-based decision-making approach was applied in this research. It is a comprehensive method that can combine the data between weightage of importance and score for each PBO's location characteristic. The study was successful in evaluating the sustainability of PBO location with different results in each study area and it is expected to provide insights to the stakeholders in improving their investment and business decision of the PBO market in Malaysia.
