A TOWNSHIP often reveals its true character, potential and liveability over time.
For Bandar Bukit Raja, Sime Darby Property’s (SDP) flagship development in Selangor’s western growth corridor, this evolution is defined by a simple yet powerful promise; it is “A Space to Grow.”
This vision reflects how strategic long-term planning and disciplined execution can shape a place that grows meaningfully with its people and businesses. Guided by the group’s purpose of “Driving real estate as a value multiplier for people, businesses, economies and the planet”, Bandar Bukit Raja is designed to evolve with its residents, whether they are growing a family, scaling a business, or future‑proofing investments.
Spanning approximately 2158.2ha (5,333ac), Bandar Bukit Raja today has an estimated population of over 80,000 residents and is a melting pot of cultures within a self‑sustaining township ecosystem.
It is a bustling, eco-friendly hub of daily living, with workplaces, retail centres and industrial zones seamlessly anchored by established neighbourhoods. This cohesive design provides the ideal foundation for progress not just today, but well into the future.
Thoughtful integration of master plan and landscape
True liveability lies in the delicate balance between essential infrastructure and nature. Instead of treating roads, utilities, and drainage as standalone engineering solutions – separate from community spaces – Bandar Bukit Raja seamlessly integrates them into the broader township landscape, ensuring functionality enhances, rather than disrupts quality of life.
A deliberate emphasis is placed on preserving natural corridors and weaving in native plantings, supporting local biodiversity while helping to moderate heat and create more restorative, people‑centric spaces.
This approach is most clearly expressed through the township’s blue‑green infrastructure, which plays a vital role in climate resilience. A network of retention ponds, wetlands and bioswales is designed to slow stormwater runoff, improve water quality, and reduce downstream impact during heavy rainfall.
Community spaces such as sunken recreational fields are thoughtfully designed to serve dual purposes – functioning as leisure areas in dry conditions and temporary water retention zones during intense downpours. These features form part of a long‑term environmental strategy that responds proactively to climate realities.
Nature‑based solutions at township scale
At the heart of Bandar Bukit Raja’s sustainability journey is the 24.28-hectare (60‑acre) Wetlands Townpark, one of the largest townparks of its kind in the region. Conceived as more than a recreational green space, the park functions as climate‑adaptive infrastructure, integrating wetlands that support stormwater management, biodiversity enhancement and community well‑being.
Spanning over 12.14ha (30ac) of functional wetlands and 3.3km of natural swales, the park incorporates nature‑based solutions such as phytoremediation to improve water quality, while providing habitats for birds, fish, dragonflies and other wildlife. Fully open to the public, it serves not only residents of Bandar Bukit Raja but also surrounding communities, reinforcing the township’s role as a shared environmental asset.
Sustainable operations are equally prioritised, with 100% solar‑powered lighting across the park helping to reduce energy consumption and annual operational costs. This commitment reflects Sime Darby Property’s broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda, designed into the township from the ground up, rather than retrofitted later.
An established industrial ecosystem and next growth segment
Bandar Bukit Raja’s meticulous planning and commitment to sustainable growth naturally extend into the township's commercial and industrial spaces. The township’s industrial zone has expanded progressively over the past two decades alongside its residential areas.
Across Bandar Bukit Raja 1, 2 and 3, together with the Bandar Bukit Raja Business Park, there are approximately 800ha (1,977ac) of industrial land, dynamically serving the needs of diverse sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, as well as electrical and electronics, contributing to a robust industrial ecosystem.
Bandar Bukit Raja Business Park represents the township’s next phase of industrial growth, spanning approximately 399.83ha (988ac) with an estimated gross development value of RM5bil. Positioned as an ESG-focused industrial development, it comprises a mix of industrial land parcels, ready-built factories including semi-detached units, as well as built-to-suit and built-to-lease solutions tailored to operational requirements.
These offerings are designed to accommodate a range of business needs, from companies seeking immediate operational space to those requiring customised facilities. Positioned within an existing township, the development allows businesses to tap into an established environment, with access to essential services, workforce and amenities already in place.
Bandar Bukit Raja enjoys strong regional connectivity via key highways and proximity to Port Klang, supporting both daily commuting and industrial movement. The upcoming East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), planned for completion in 2028, is expected to further enhance accessibility and regional connectivity, strengthening the township’s position within Selangor’s broader economic landscape. This consistent, value‑driven approach to development has earned Sime Darby Property continued recognition.
Strengthening its brand credentials, the group received the Platinum Award in the Property category at the Putra Brand Awards 2025, marking its fourth consecutive Platinum win and fifth overall Platinum Award win – reflecting sustained consumer confidence and trust in the Sime Darby Property brand, reflecting sustained consumer confidence and trust.
At a township level, Bandar Bukit Raja’s emphasis on design excellence and nature‑based solutions has also been recognised numerous times, with accolades including the Malaysia Landscape Architecture Award (MLAA) 2025 Special Award for Nature‑Based Solutions and President’s Award for the Wetland Townpark, as well as the MyPLACE Award 2025 under the City and Townpark (below 50ha, 123.55ac) category, reinforcing how Bandar Bukit Raja continues to provide space for generations to flourish.
Looking ahead
As Bandar Bukit Raja progresses towards its planned completion in 2040, its growth reflects a pattern of steady progression. Each phase builds deliberately on what is already in place, reinforcing a township where homes, businesses, green infrastructure, and community spaces evolve and grow together.
More than a single development feature, Bandar Bukit Raja is defined by how consistently it has stayed true to its long‑term vision; creating space for generations to grow.
