PETALING JAYA (April 9): Kwasa Damansara, located in the northern corridor of the Klang Valley, is entering a more visible phase of growth after years of planning and groundwork. Developed by Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the Employees Provident Fund with participation from multiple developers, the 2,257-acre township integrates residential, commercial, educational, and lifestyle components, reflecting the vision of a next-generation sustainable community.
A significant portion of 535 acres is retained by the Rubber Research Institute Malaysia (RRIM) for its own institutional development. This component is part of the township’s long-term plan, which is expected to take 20 to 25 years from 2015, with ongoing construction as of 2026.

While the master-planned township was first conceived over a decade ago, development momentum has picked up in recent years, driven by active residential launches, operational MRT connectivity at Kwasa Damansara and Kwasa Sentral stations, and access to several major highways.
So, what are current and pipeline developments like in Kwasa Damansara? What are its appeals?
Projects shaping the residential landscape
Several residential developments have already begun shaping the township’s evolving property landscape. Daya Residence by TSR Capital Bhd is a landed development offering semi-detached homes priced from RM2.65 million and bungalows from RM4.02 million. The project comprises 35 units and is expected to be completed in 2027.
Dedaun Rimba by YTL Land & Development Bhd consists of 264 units, including 1.5-storey townhouses and 3-storey link homes, with prices starting from RM870,600 and RM1.92 million respectively. It is slated for competition in Feb 2027.
Meanwhile, Tujuh Residences by MRCB Land forms part of the 94-acre Kwasa Damansara City Centre (KDCC) and comprises 573 serviced apartment units priced from around RM494,000. It will be completed in 2027.
Another residential project within the township is Linari Damansara by Impiana Land & Development Sdn Bhd, which features two condominium towers with 480 units as well as 16 cluster townhouses. Completion is expected in 4Q2027.
Affordable housing is also a key component of the township’s development. Idaman Kwasa Damansara, developed by Gagasan Nadi Cergas Bhd, offers 834 units spanning four blocks in its first phase. As part of the Rumah Selangorku programme, prices start from RM250,000. It is targeted for completion this year. With two more phases in the pipeline, there will be a total of 4,694 units with an approximate gross development value (GDV) of RM1 billion in a combined land area of about 39.12 acres.
Town centre’s progress
A major milestone in the township’s commercial development came with Project MX-1, the main town centre, first announced in 2014.
Two years after the initial announcement, Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) was awarded the tender to develop the 64.07-acre site. The development is being handled in collaboration with Kwasa Land, which retains oversight of the master layout plan.
The mixed-use development is envisioned to serve a working and living population of around 135,000 people. It is estimated to have a GDV of over RM8 billion, and is designed as a catalyst for the entire township.
Meanwhile, in a 40,000-sq ft lot next to Menara KWSP and near the Kwasa Damansara MRT station, a retail and F&B hub named Urban Eats is emerging. It has already secured 10 F&B tenants and is expected to be completed soon.
PJ West and PJ East’s master plans
Among Kwasa Land’s key development partners is LBS Bina Group Bhd, which in July 2025 entered into a development rights agreement with Kwasa Land to develop approximately 192 acres within Kwasa Damansara.
The project, with an estimated GDV of about RM8.3 billion, will be carried out in phases over a 14-year period and is expected to deliver a mix of residential components and supporting infrastructure within the PJ West precinct.
Another major development within the Kwasa Damansara precinct is ParkCity Damansara. Measuring more than 400 acres in an area referred to as PJ East, it is the biggest development parcel in Kwasa Damansara.
Helmed by ParkCity Group, the master-planned township will be developed over an estimated 20-year period, and will mirror the developer’s flagship township Desa ParkCity’s focus on community building, sustainability and liveability.
In a media release announcing the collaboration last Friday, Kwasa Land said: “It is also adjacent to established townships and residential enclaves such as Tropicana and Kota Damansara, offering residents seamless connectivity and access to mature urban infrastructure”.
ParkCity Damansara’s maiden residential phase, Zenia, was launched on March 28, introducing a mix of landed ParkHomes and high-rise CondoVillas across 55.05 acres with an estimated GDV of about RM2 billion. The development also includes plans for a waterfront commercial hub to support daily lifestyle needs within the township, with completion targeted around 2030.
Expanding offers for integrated developments
In the same statement, Kwasa Land managing director Datuk Adenan Md Yusof said; “We are entering a new chapter of growth and, with improving market conditions, the time is right to accelerate our vision for a truly integrated township”.
He also revealed that Kwasa Land is expanding its opportunities for collaboration with developers who can design and build mixed-development parcels that “redefine how communities live, work and connect”.
“Most recently, we offered for tender two plots covering 30.78 acres within the Petaling Jaya precinct of the township. These sites enjoy a strategic location near Subang SkyPark, with key infrastructure works in the surrounding area already well underway, further enhancing their development potential,” Adenan added.
“Upon completion, Kwasa Damansara will feature more than 250 acres of green spaces encompassing nine parks, complemented by over 25km of cycling and walking trails.
Designed with families in mind, the township is expected to deliver approximately 25,000 homes, including 10,000 affordable housing units, as well as land for 15 schools. As a transit-oriented development (TOD), Kwasa Damansara also offers excellent connectivity via road, rail and air transport networks,” the statement added.
MRT links add connectivity appeal
On the potential demographic profile and township appeal, Nawawi Tie Leung Real Estate Consultants Sdn Bhd managing director Eddy Wong says the range of developments is expected to attract single professionals and young families. It is also likely to draw mid- to upper-income upgraders.
“As Kwasa Damansara is served by two main MRT lines (Kajang and Putrajaya) with two stations (Kwasa Damansara and Kwasa Sentral) directly within the township, it will attract those who value connectivity. This will include commuters who live in Kwasa Damansara but work elsewhere in the Klang Valley, as well as renters who opt to save on property and car ownership costs,” he tells EdgeProp.
He adds that Kwasa Damansara has the potential to evolve into a property hotspot as it is a master-planned township with all developments being newly built.
Wong explains the upmarket landed housing seems to be well received, while the affordable Rumah Selangorku units also appear to be selling well.
“However, sales of the projects in the mid- to upmarket high-rise segment appear to be comparatively slower,” he says.
On lifestyle positioning, he says Kwasa Damansara is being developed as a sustainable, next-generation township with a focus on healthy lifestyle infrastructure, green spaces, and jogging pathways, alongside national and international schools, hospitals, residential, commercial, and retail components.
He says the township’s product diversity, particularly its upmarket landed and low-density offerings with premium design features, will help deliver a differentiated residential experience for buyers seeking spacious homes in a green environment.
“Its strategic location and excellent connectivity with access to two MRT lines, two KTM Komuter stations and six major highways will position it well as the next suburban hotspot for buyers seeking premium homes,” he says.
