Station features
Station location
The station is located within the Kwasa Damansara development project, one of two stations to serve this future township. As it is located away from Jalan Sungai Buloh (Malay; English: Sungai Buloh Road), a new access road was built to give access to the station.
Although the tracks at the Kwasa Damansara station are elevated, the station building itself is at-grade, the only one of its kind on the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line, but similar to Setiawangsa station on the Kelana Jaya Line.
The station has three levels, with the ground floor being the concourse and the two floors above being platform levels. The two elevated platforms are island platforms, enabling this station to have four platforms to enable it to function as the interchange station between the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line and the future MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line.
At present, only platform 1 for Kajang-bound trains on level 2, and platform 2 for Sungai Buloh-bound trains on level 1 are being used. Platform 3, across from platform 1 on level 2 and platform 4 which shares level 1 with platform 2, are not in use and do not have any tracks.

Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line
When Phase One operations for the MRT SSP MRT Line begins in 2021, this station will become the northern terminus of the line. At the same time, this station will replace Sungai Buloh station as the northern terminus of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line.
As a result, the Kampung Selamat station and Sungai Buloh which are currently part of the SBK MRT Line will be transferred to become part of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line.[3]
