On the way, one immediately notices the develop-ments coming up in the area. Semenyih’s old world charms — barrack-style landed homes and uniform shophouses — are still there but they now co-exist with the new developments that are set to trans-form the area, now better known as South Eastern Klang Valley.
The South Eastern Klang Valley fi rst gained in-terest when The University of Nottingham moved its campus there 10 years ago. Since then, new housing projects have been sprouting in the area. More recently, basic, high-density developments have given way to planned townships that offer new lifestyle concepts.
Enhanced accessibility has also played a crucial role in generating interest in property develop-ment in the South Eastern Klang Valley, says Henry Butcher (M) Sdn Bhd chief operating offi cer Tang Chee Meng.

An ideal Sunday morning for some is to head south-east of Klang Valley to hike up Broga Hill to catch the sunrise before heading to the near-by Semenyih for a hearty breakfast.

and the Cheras-Kajang Expressway, have shortened travelling time signifi cantly.
The new townships, Tang adds, offer a high-quality living environment and better infrastructure.
Ho Chin Soon Research Sdn Bhd CEO Ishmael Ho says the South Eastern Klang Valley follows a natural develop-ment progression from Kajang. Further-more, he agrees that the completion of highways and public transport infra-structure has brought the area closer to Kuala Lumpur.
He adds that the connectivity will be enhanced in the future as there is a plan to connect the South Eastern Klang Valley to Bandar Seri Putra via a dedicated Putra Mahkota interchange off the North-South Expressway.
With these developments, this area, once under the radar, is now in the limelight, creating new business op-portunities and jobs and increasing the population. Not surprisingly, this has sparked an even greater demand for both residential and commercial properties.
Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld) has responded to this grow-ing demand by developing Eco Majestic, a 1,089-acre township that offers exten-sive opportunities for those looking to buy a home or make sound property investments.
With the EcoWorld DNA in place, Eco Majestic offers:i. Good location in an area with tre-
mendous potential and excellent accessibility;
ii. A well-planned integrated township designed for long-term sustainabil-ity;
iii. Superior design concepts that meet residents’ aspirations and lifestyle needs;
iv. Meticulous attention to detail, espe-cially in terms of landscaping, green spaces, community spaces, cycling and jogging lanes, waterways and the overall environment;
v. Security features integrated in mas-terplan complemented by top-notch security system;
vi. Modern and refi ned infrastructure, such as well-designed roads, broad-band services, signature features; and
vii. Proximity to job centres and vibrant commercial precincts.
Eco Majestic was unveiled in 2014 and has since successfully launched more than 4,000 units. It will see the completion of its fi rst two phases by the end of this year.
Acclaimed feng shui master Datuk Joey Yap notes that the township has good natural landforms, which project long-term prosperity for the residents.
He points out that the key landforms that benefi t Eco Majestic are the dragon and cow formations. “The dragon forma-tion is known as the golden blooming dragon formation, which suggests the help and support of noblemen,” says Yap. “The qi from the cow formation mountain brings stability, peace and good harvests in the long term.”

The process of crafting Eco Majestic was not without its challenges, especially with public perception of the South Eastern Klang Valley being a rural backwa-ter. Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld) president and CEO Datuk Chang Khim Wah talks about Eco Majestic’s journey thus far and its mission.
The fi rst step was the selection of a Straits era archi-tectural style for the development to truly refl ect the word “majestic” and to realise the vision of “Timeless Elegance”. This vision is also refl ected in the choice of a graceful swan to symbolise the development.
The key task was to bring people to this part of Greater Klang Valley, which was perceived as out of the way and less accessible by Klang Valley residents. Also, many were doubtful about the potential of prop-erty development in the area.
However, the developer is confi dent of Eco Majes-tic’s success and aims to introduce catalysts for impres-sive value creation for homebuyers, thus ensuring the desirability of the township.
In its mission to change the misconception about the South Eastern Klang Valley, the fi rst thing the developer did was to link Eco Majestic to various highways and main roads. Construction of a link road to East Gate of the township from Jalan Semenyih began in 2013.
Even before the completion of East Gate, EcoW-orld boldly set up a sales offi ce in a shop-offi ce lot on Jalan Semenyih and launched the fi rst phase of the development. Even without a show unit, all the units were sold during the weekend launch.
East Gate was completed in 2014 and subsequent-ly, the developer embarked on a series of marketing

campaigns to introduce Eco Majestic to the public. The three mega events held over three years attracted close to 400,000 people, mostly the younger gener-ation. There were also smaller yet no less successful seasonal and festive events.
“Our objective is to show people that the devel-opment is not far away as well as we show them the architecture, value and concept,” says Chang.
There are two more entrances to Eco Majestic to enhance accessibility and convenience. The North Gate and West Gate allow the township to be directly accessible via LEKAS.
Opened last year, North Gate features a red carpet bridge that serves as one of Eco Majestic’s signature fea-tures, to welcome home the residents and their guests.
West Gate is linked directly to the Eco Majestic interchange, both of which will be unveiled soon.
Ensuring the accessibility of Eco Majestic through the construction of the link road to North Gate, the Eco Majestic Interchange as well as the upgrading of the existing roads, has benefi tted not just the township but also the surrounding communities.
Previously, Jalan Semenyih was the only road in and out of this area which resulted in massive congestion
at all hours of the day. However, the situation has been signifi cantly alleviated since the launch of Eco Majestic.
For EcoWorld, a well-planned township involves the application of sustainable design principles and guidelines as it creates value for its buyers and inves-tors. The list includes security checkpoints, green connectors, original tree mapping as well as walkways for pedestrians and cycling paths.
Each precinct of landed homes is gated with a guardhouse and round-the-clock security. Security guard patrols are augmented by an EcoWorld Polis Bantuan (auxiliary police) force.
A network of paths for walking, jogging and cycling connects all the parks in the township. The existing trees are conserved where possible and are replanted as close to their original place as possible.
Chang says township development has evolved over the years, as the expectations of customers have increased and become more sophisticated. To keep pace, developers must anticipate these expectations to deliver the types of houses and facilities custom-ers desire.
Broadband service is an example. Eco Majestic offers broadband Internet connectivity at speeds of up to 30Mbps to every house. Residents also have the option to upgrade their service.
“That’s how township development has changed. Everything is quick and people are going to places where everything is ready and available. Developers can’t wait anymore to develop the amenities at a later date,” Chang points out.
Construction of Eco Majestic City, a 150-acre mixed-use commercial centre in the township, will start next year. Thirty acres have been earmarked for amenities, which include a lifestyle sports centre and a public central park called Majestic Park.
“Eco Majestic City will be a new city centre for the South Eastern Klang Valley. We see opportunities for established businesses from the surrounding communi-ties to move into this lifestyle commercial hub that will come with parking and other amenities,” says Chang.
Other components of Eco Majestic City include commercial plots for a hotel and offi ce tower, shopof-fi ces and serviced apartments.
