IJM Land, a subsidiary of IJM Corporation Bhd, is emphasizing a holistic approach to township development in Selangor by integrating infrastructure, connectivity, commerce, education, and green spaces to create sustainable communities. With over 40 years of experience in Malaysia’s property development sector, the company aims to build more than just residential areas; it seeks to foster environments where families and businesses can thrive over generations.
The company’s flagship project, IJM Rimbayu, launched in 2013 in Telok Panglima Garang, exemplifies this philosophy. The township currently comprises 5,000 homes and 323 commercial shop offices. Residents benefit from a range of lifestyle amenities including The ARC, a social and community gathering space; The Club, which offers sports and wellness facilities; The Rimbayu Linear Park spanning 6.3 acres with thematic gardens and playgrounds; Oasis International School; and Lotus’s Rimbayu, providing grocery and dining options. Future commercial developments include ROAM, designed as an affordable retail and office hub for entrepreneurs and SMEs with 195 strata units, and District 28, a premium three-story row of 28 semi-detached shop offices with exclusive amenities.
In addition to these amenities, IJM Rimbayu offers 140 acres of green spaces that incorporate tropical orchards, community farms, pocket parks, woodlands, and outdoor recreational facilities such as jogging and cycling paths. The township is connected to neighboring areas like Kota Kemuning and Saujana Putra, with access to major highways including the Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas), Kemuning-Shah Alam Expressway (LKSA), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), and the North-South Expressway Central Link (Elite). This connectivity enhances residents’ access to the wider Klang Valley region.
Another significant development by IJM Land is Alam Suria in Puncak Alam, launched in 2001. Spanning more than 1,100 acres, Alam Suria has grown into a mature community with over 28,000 residents. The township continues to expand with new precincts such as Daffodil Residency and Suria Hill, the latter covering 170 acres. Alam Suria is supported by nearby institutions including Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and Hospital UiTM. Future connectivity enhancements are expected with the opening of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) Puncak Alam station in 2028, located approximately 1 km from the township.
Residents of Alam Suria also have access to green spaces such as Central Park (11 acres) and Suria Park (4.42 acres), the latter featuring a 1.8-kilometer pedestrian loop, multipurpose courts, a skate park, wall-climbing walls, and fitness stations. Sustainability initiatives are visible in newer developments, with Daffodil Residency and Suria Hill achieving GreenRE certification and integrating electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Beyond residential townships, IJM Land is diversifying into wellness-focused developments such as the Ren Wellness Retreat in Subang Jaya. Situated by Subang Ria lake, the facility will offer a combination of healthcare, wellness, hospitality, and lifestyle services, including preventive care, rehabilitation, nursing, counselling, and fitness. The retreat is affiliated with Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and Tianjin University of Chinese Medicine’s First Affiliated Hospital.
IJM Land CEO Datuk Tony Ling highlighted the company’s dedication to placemaking and long-term community value, noting that the true success of their developments is measured by the sense of belonging and quality of life experienced by residents. The company plans to continue evolving alongside Selangor’s growth, focusing on creating sustainable and well-connected townships to meet future living needs.
