Senja, a residential development under the joint-venture of BRDB and Country Heights Land, is a leasehold property tucked in the huge compound of Bluwater Estate in Seri Kembangan. This gated and guarded community within a gated and guarded community has been set to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2016.Senja's bungalow units' details are yet to be released, but to date there will be an overall of five layouts, whereby two layouts of terrace houses, one layout of semi-detached units and another two layouts of villas. Considering this is a high-end residential project that features a humongous lake and state-of-the-art clubhouse, the price begins at the huge sum of close to RM2 millions.Senja's hefty price is justified with the luxurious additions of family rooms, breakfast decks, roof terraces and entertainment decks to some of the units. The bungalows will come equipped with elevators, while the other types of units have elevator cores pre-installed. A fee will be charged to those who request for lifts beforehand. The great concept and design are complemented aptly with the huge space being on offer.Senja is located in the township called Bluwater Estate. Hence, two security checkpoints, one for each compound, are the required stops that people have to go through to access the property. Meanwhile, the significant part of the whole property is the clubhouse, which will be dedicated for facilities like swimming pool, function hall, gymnasium, games room, library, sauna and basketball court. Then, the developers' hope of Senja being a serene and country-like enclave is boosted with the existence of a 2.76 acres lake plus seven recreational parks. Those parks include a flora-infested, 1.7 acre forest park. That explains the RM10 millions outlay that had been spent on landscaping purposes of Senja.Seri Kembangan is famous for the whole Mines domain, meaning that Mines Shopping Fair and Mines Resort & Golf Club are not far away. Residents will also be able to enjoy going to fairs at the Malaysia International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC) and visit the highly-rated Palace of Golden Horses hotel. Selangor Turf Club is another attraction in the vicinity. Educational institutions available include Australian International School, Tanarata International School, Alice Smith International School and SEGi College South City Plaza. Further away from Senja, you will find more colleges such as Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), International Infrastructure University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL), Univerisiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Multimedia University (MMU) and Lim Kok Wing University College.The whole Seri Kembangan area has quite the traffic flow, and Senja residents will be served by the BESRAYA highway, KL - Seremban Highway (which will connect to SILK Highway), Sungai Besi Highway (to MRR2) and Jalan Besar.

Bangsar Shopping Centre and The Boulevard are two great developments that BRDB have under their belt. Not only that, Bangsar Hill, Palmyra, Inara, CapSquare Residences and One Menerung are proud testaments to the credibility and craft of BRDB. Understandably, BRDB has managed to put their brand on the local property market, making them an enviable and respected member of the industry.Unfortunately, such brand comes with a price, and what a price it is for residents to fork out for units in Senja. They are noticeably higher than the price of developments that are akin to Senja. Dale, and Reed at Lake Fields and LaVille are valid mentions. To further strengthen this claim, the surrounding area of Senja is void of a high-end feel, making Seri Kembangan seems like a questionable choice. Plus, the traffic around the area can be a killer, as folks will flock onto the streets at rush hours, making them congested and heavy.On the plus side, Senja features wonderful concept, design and space for the purchasers. Security is guaranteed with the double checkpoints thing going on, and the surrounding townships such as Cyberjaya, Puchong and Balakong are maturing townships. Traffic worries will also reduce in the coming years as 2015 has been earmarked as the completion date of a 16.5 km elevated highway linking Seri Kembangan to Maju Expressway (MEX).Upon a closer look, a high-end landed strata residential development is a rather unexplored niche, with little options being available especially in the area. Those who plan to stay or upgrade their residences might find Senja as a wonderful buy.
