The modern era may show a significant shift of socio-cultural values and lifestyle trends, but family remains the paramount feature of our society, and the necessity of family-friendly recreational facilities and communal activities is significant in our decision when considering the perfect place to put down our roots.

This prestigious honour has been awarded to recognise the lush and green development that puts family first, encouraging the residents to foster a closer bond by creating a safe and secure environment, and thus allowing them to grow together and live comfortably.
Developed by Lush Development Sdn Bhd, 16 Sierra is one of the newest townships of mixed development in Puchong, spreading over 535 acres of land, with heavy emphasis on greenery and open spaces as well as child friendly designs.
What sets apart 16 Sierra from other township developments is the fact that the project generously devoted 7.2 acres of land to set up the Central Park in an effort to perk up the recreational facilities.
Parents can spend quality time with their children in the exquisitely design themed gardens that embrace different playful concepts such as Algebra Garden, Maze Garden, Rain Forest Garden, Tic-Tac-Toe Garden, Spring Garden, Chimes Garden and so on. The nature's classroom will sure to affirm the children's love of fantasy and encourage outdoor exploration.
Embodying the 'Play-Learn-Bond' concept, the interconnected walkways of cycling and jogging path (bipath) lead the way to explore the lush greenery of unique designs, and provide the wanderers with specific sensory and learning features.
16 Sierra boasts of an exclusively crafted Amigo Clubhouse that creates an atmospheric living environment for the residents, allowing them to retreat to the exclusive and quiet enjoyment of pleasure and relaxation.

The blissfully green environment promotes the ultimate healthy way of living through its encouragement of outdoor activities.
All of us wish for a safe and secure environment for our family, and this is exactly what 16 Sierra delivers with its generous security features. each precinct is set up with single entry and exit point, guarded with perimeter fencing, digital entrance lock at the main entrance and dedicated bi-path separating the roads.
The comfort of the spacious 100-feet width main road is only overshadowed by its even more impressive parallel bi-path.
Designed to promote a vehicular free environment, residents can move around in absolute safety on the dedicated and separated bi-path, with proper crossings provided whichever direction they are heading for, thus encouraging the reduction of pollution and promoting a healthier lifestyle.
In 16 Sierra, large and comfy housings such as superlink homes and semi-detached houses ranging from 2,500 sq ft to 4,800 sq ft are designed to accommodate up to three generations under one roof.
