Reflecting on historic rise; bolstering prospective potentials
Completed in 1992, La Villa Setapak marks UOA’s humble beginnings as a property developer with its first residential development.
UOA Group needs no introduction in the field of property development. With over three decades of experience in the development industry, it has amassed repute with its track record of delivering properties ahead of schedule.
Its portfolio comprises various developments, many of which are prime commercial and residential properties. UOA’s tried and true ways involve investing in good grade commercial and residential assets in prime, high return growth areas.
Located along Jalan Pinang, UOA Centre features a 33-storey integrated office block of office suites and business suites with six levels of car park space.
One of its earliest development is UOA Centre, a freehold commercial tower nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC). Despite being surrounded by giants such as the nearby Petronas Twin Towers, and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, UOA Centre continues to stand tall.
Another notch on the achievement belt
Originally founded in 1987, it was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) as United Overseas Australia Ltd. Since 1989, the group has based its headquarters and business operations in Kuala Lumpur.
The group achieved a monumental milestone in June 2011 with the successful listing of its development arm, UOA Development Bhd on the Malaysian Stock Exchange.
This places UOA Development Bhd as one of the largest listed property development companies by market capitalisation in Malaysia.
As at 31 December 2018, the group has successfully completed and delivered projects comprising commercial, retail and residential properties.The group’s total land bank spans an area of approximately 100 acres, with a potential estimated GDV of more than RM17.7bil to be realised over the next decade.
Witnessing the Midas touch in Bangsar South
Bangsar South has become the preferred business and lifestyle address within Kuala Lumpur’s dynamic cityscape.
Bangsar South, UOA’s 60-acre award winning flagship integrated city development, is a highly sought-after address amongst today’s discerning urbanites. The former squatter settlement land has been transformed into a vibrant and thriving residential and commercial enclave. It has become the preferred business and lifestyle address within Kuala Lumpur’s dynamic cityscape. In 2007, prior to construction commencement, UOA embarked on infrastructure improvement works in an effort to enhance the surrounding areas in Kerinchi. These include the widening of the main access roads, the building of new pedestrian walkways and the addition of green landscapes.
The vision for Bangsar South is to create a sustainable development of quality standards that will enrich and add value to the lives of the community. UOA takes on a synergistic approach to build a dynamic integrated city development that will establish Bangsar South as the preferred place to work, live and play. The central location of Bangsar South allows convenient access to a host of retail, service and recreational facilities, including The Sphere, a lifestyle hub for the discerning crowd.
Residents get to explore eateries and retail therapy amidst green landscapes and cooling waterscapes at The Sphere in 20 April 2019, The Sphere was accorded the Landscape Design Honour Award in the Professional Category at the 11th Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards (MLAA).
On the other hand, The Horizon and The Vertical, situated within the MSC Malaysia Cybercentre at Bangsar South, feature aesthetically appealing office towers that provide an inspiring working environment in the surroundings of a 6-acre central park. Komune Co-working Space, one of the largest and most spacious co-working offices in Kuala Lumpur, also offers 18,000 square feet of innovative space for the business community.
Nascent development holds promises
The Goodwood Residence provides community spaces replete with interactive elements and stellar facilities including the hydrotherapy spa, heated pool, among others.

Accessibility is further enhanced by 2 LRT stations - Universiti Station and Kerinchi Station, which are a mere stone’s throw away from the development.
