HOME is where the heart is, and there's no better place to fall in love with than Bandar Rimbayu. A home here at this integrated township is akin to coming back to a serene and private enclave, where everyone is able to relax and savour an enriching neighbourhood living style.

Located on a sprawling 1,879-acre piece of land, this premier development is inspired by the nostalgia for a time when life was simple, and people lived close to nature. Bandar Rimbayu will offer a wide range of products, from affordable quality homes and exclusive developments, to recreational, parkland and commercial components.

With a gross development value (GDV) of RM11bil and a target of 10,000 households by the time the entire project is completed, this is one address to be reckoned with. With such a large land size, each residential enclave will be low density, thus allowing for tranquility to prevail.

The acclaimed Bandar Rimbayu is divided into four precincts – Flora, Fauna, Bayu and a Commercial Hub. In an effort to promote clean green initiatives, IJM Land has stepped up a notch by having the following features in-built in most of the homes: solar panel water heating system, rainwater harvesting system, a general north- south orientation to reduce heat exposure, and ingenious architectural designs to allow free flow of air and enhance natural light into each home.

There have been a total of five phases of residential enclaves launched since 2013, all of which bear whimsical flora-based names. The first phase was Chimes with 526 units; the second phase was Perennia with 484 units; the third phase was Periwinkle with 467 units; the fourth phase was Scarlet with 110 units; and finally there was Wisteria with 231 units. In addition, there was a recently launched phase of two- and three- storey shop offices called Blossom Drive with 48 units in total.

Keeping in line with the prevalent nature theme of this development, the latest phase to be launched in Bandar Rimbayu is Penduline. This marks the beginning of the fauna series as it is named after a species of small bird. Consisting of 625 well-planned two-storey link homes with built-up ranging from 1,771 sq ft to 2,022 sq ft, it is sited on 55 acres. This latest sanctuary is designed like the rest of the other exclusive enclaves, making use of the CPTED (crime prevention through environmental design) approach, with a single entrance and exit point.

Penduline is designed with first-time young homebuyers in mind. With an indicative starting price of RM644,800, IJM Land is able to offer these homes at attractive prices by going back to a basic practical design, and optimising on the buyer's needs instead of wants.

"This is the product that the market is looking for during the current economic slowdown. With an outstanding value for money proposition, we are sure that our Penduline homes would entice prospective buyers looking for their own stay or for investment. There has never been a better time for the younger generation to buy, as houses at this attractive price range is hard to come by nowadays," says IJM Land managing director Edward Chong Sin Kiat.

As for the centrepiece of the entire township, The Arc is an eco-friendly building located in the Commercial Hub. Spanning over 10,000 sq ft, this icon is designed to be a living and evolving structure with a sustainable approach, and is surrounded by shrubs, flower gardens, aquatic plants, herbs and climbers. It also comes fitted with green solutions, which includes an elevated green roof deck to accommodate sunlight, heat, humidity and rain.

Due to its centrally located address that boasts both accessibility and yet secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city, residents, visitors and business operators will be able to enjoy the best
of both worlds. The Bandar Rimbayu township is well connected through five major highways – Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS), Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway (LKSA), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE) as well as the proposed West Coast Expressway (WCE).

Thanks to lush landscapes and generous streetscapes, Bandar Rimbayu is a community with components of amenities and facilities, making it the ideal residential address and coming home a great pleasure.
