As reported in The Star Online, Biji Living, one of Petaling Jaya’s high-rise developments by the Conlay Group, borrows from the concept of birds making homes on tree branches.

The mixed development sits on a 0.8ha freehold land in the heart of Section 17 with a total of 425 units. The developer offers a choice of studio, one and three-bedroom apartments with built-up area ranges between 550sq ft and 1,095sq ft.

During the launching of the project, Conlay Group held a balloting session for purchasers to book units of their choice, and a strong crowd waited in anticipation for their numbers to be called out.

Murali Nair, 53, who is currently staying in SS23, Petaling Jaya with his family said they liked the Biji Living apartment because it’s on a freehold land close to where we live, and also because Section 17 has ample amenities and easy access.

Another visitor, Victor Lee, 57, from Bandar Utama is thinking about using the studio apartment as his retirement plan as the place is convenient and accessible by major highways.

Besides the two towers of apartments, residents can look forward to a new neighbourhood mall which will take up two floors below.

With a total of 425 units, the developer aims to provide spacious and comfortable living to residents by offering choices of studio, one and three-bedroom apartments.

The mixed development also has ample parking space – approximately 1,047 units – for residents, visitors and mall shoppers.

Conlay Land Sdn Bhd senior property development manager Erwin Ho said the freehold land for the development was one of the last few plots located in Petaling Jaya which can be developed.

“Residential units in Petaling Jaya are getting more and more scarce, unless more developments come up. Biji Living development is suitable for those living in Section 17 if they don’t intend to move out from the area such as residents who have retired, or children who want to stay close to their parents.

“Our apartments are designed to cater to the younger generation and families of all sizes. Based on our market research and clientele list, the majority of our purchasers are in their mid-30s, followed by those in their 20s, and lastly, 40 and above,” revealed Ho.

In line with their project development, the Conlay Group will also be upgrading the roads by widening lanes for better traffic flow, said Conlay Group of Companies director Lim Lian Chee.

“Traffic around the square will be changed to one-way traffic, and two more traffic lights added at two intersections. We are also looking into covering the monsoon drains nearby for road widening purposes. With this, we are confident that the traffic flow will improve,” Lim pointed out.
