Bandar Utama - View from Golf Club

IT is almost unimaginable that the developed and affluent township of Bandar Utama was once a palm oil estate populated by fewer than 100 people.

The transformation of this township began in the early 90s, spearheaded by See Hoy Chan Holdings Group. In quick succession, housing units, malls and commercial buildings sprouted.

Fast-forward to 2017 and the legacy of founder Datuk Teo Hang Sam lives on, including Bandar Utama Development Sdn Bhd, the group's property arm.

Bandar Utama Development is one of the first developer companies in the country to embrace the build-then-sell concept advocated by the government. This initiative is a testament to the award-winning developer’s desire to not only focus on making profits but to protect the welfare of its residents.

Best of both worlds at Bandar Utama

Time and time again, the developer builds homes in its freehold township of Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, that sets a high benchmark for premier living, world-class business and leisure facilities as well as environment-friendly innovations.

The township's prime location has made it one of the most-coveted among Malaysian families. It offers the best of both worlds – lush landscapes and open parks that are only a stone’s throw away from some of Greater Kuala Lumpur’s best modern-day conveniences.

Notable places that are close by include 1 Utama Shopping Centre, five-star One World Hotel, The Club@Bukit Utama Golf Resort, First City University College, the British International School, and SJKC Puay Chai 2.

Show unit: homes with chic and modern designs, without compromising on durability and functionality.

The township’s accessibility has been another vital component to its success. Apart from sitting at the confluence of major expressways, Bandar Utama is well-known as a transportation hub with bus and coach terminals that connect to other places such as Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2, Genting Highlands, Penang and Singapore.

On top of that, the latest MRT line which began operating recently makes travelling to the Kuala Lumpur metropolis and other prominent areas in Greater KL a lot simpler. The much-anticipated LRT3, slated for completion by 2020, gives the residents another reason to celebrate.

To fulfill the ever-growing demand for homes within this highly sought-after address, Bandar Utama Development has delivered two new projects in the form of 9 Bukit Utama and The Effingham.

Plenty of space for families at 9 Bukit Utama

Surrounded by lush greenery, 9 Bukit Utama is a luxurious, resort-like condominium that sits on more than 7.5 acres of prime land.

This high-rise bucks the trend of shrinking condo unit sizes. Space is in abundance for 9 Bukit Utama units, ranging from 2,286 to 4,719 sq ft, and guarantees flexibility for families of all sizes.

The condominium is designed with functional space in mind. The flexibility of each unit is further enhanced with the use of innovative drywall product system set between rooms, enabling residents to reconfigure the interior layout to their liking.

The units come complete with air-conditioners, built-in oven, cooker hood and hob, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes and water heaters.

Recreational facilities at 9 Bukit Utama include a gym, designer gardens with jogging track, tennis courts, badminton courts, barbecue area, and swimming pools.

Children can have a good time at the skate park and kids play area.

A large leisure pool for 9 Bukit Utama residents to unwind and relax.

Prestige and luxury at The Effingham

Sitting just across 9 Bukit Utama is The Effingham, a development that epitomises prestige and luxury.

The three-storey villas, which reflect the affluence of Bandar Utama, are found within 32 acres of gated and guarded land.

Phase 1 comprises a total of 100 exclusive homes with unit sizes measuring between 5,654 and 12,173 sq ft. The 6+1 bedroom villas come partly fitted, similar to 9 Bukit Utama.

The homes also incorporate environment-friendly features such as solar water heaters and rainwater harvest system.

The Effingham gives its residents peace of mind with 24-hour security surveillance and trained security personnel.

The icing on the cake for these two exclusive developments is their freehold status, which gives homebuyers the opportunity to own a home that is multi-generational.

To help prospective buyers realise their dream of living in Bandar Utama, the developer offers an alternative source of financing via its in-house home loan.
