Located within the heart of Bangi, about 3.5km south of Bandar Baru Bangi, Alam Sari has a gross development value (GDV) of RM1 billion and takes up 432.5 freehold acres. Set within the vicinity of higher learning institutions such as Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), the EPF Training Centre (ESSET) and the Petronas Management Training Centre, the “Neighbourhood of Academia” township will feature academically themed parks and precincts.Upon completion, the township is expected to have 3,435 units of residential properties including semidees, bungalows, orchard lots and apartments as well as shops, convenience centres and a supermarket or mall complemented by facilities and amenities such as schools, kindergarten, a community hall, police station, parks and gardens.With an expected population of 17,000 upon full occupation, the township would take between eight and 10 years to complete. “Construction for Phase 1P1 which commenced in November last year, is currently in progress and targeted for completion in the middle of 2009,” said Jamaludin.
