This is the future of SS16 (Jalan SS16/1), also known as SJCC (Subang Jaya City Centre) in 2015. An upcoming international landmark with world class facilities and infrastructure in the Subang Jaya metropolitan area. In the coming future, there will have a link indoor bridge from SJCC through the Federal highway to the upcoming commercial development Kencana Square in Glenmarie.

The whole development is designed by Benoy, a world-class leader designing company from UK (founded in 1947). Many world class developments such as ION Orchard, Manchester City Centre , Hong Kong International Airport and many more are designed by them. For Benoy, SJCC would be their first project in Malaysia. Here's a link to their website, http://www.benoy.com/. This is the quick link to their portfolio http://www.benoy.com/projects/29/all/all

ARTICLE:

Sime Darby Property, the project owner and one of the largest developers in Malaysia has instructed Benoy to deliver a masterplan for the first transit-orientated development in the heart of Subang Jaya, Malaysia. The concept of the master plan is to create a multi-modal transport hub that successfully integrates a mix of retail, hotel, service apartments, SOHO and office suites to create a unique landmark destination reducing dependency on cars so forming an integral part of the Subang Jaya City Centre’s vision for a green and sustainable future.

With a site area of 9.2 acres and spanning nearly 1 km, the development will create destination for living, working and for leisure. It will be easily accessible through a network of major highways, KTM commuter train, future LRT elevated rail and serviced via a dedicated ‘park & ride’ facility. One acre of landscaped linear park at street level with car free pedestrian routes and cycle paths provide links to other destinations in the vicinity. Linear parking along the street separates car traffic from cycles and pedestrians providing safe routes and interesting public space for the enjoyment of the community.

Landscaped areas will be irrigated by rain harvesting from OSD thus maintaining the development's green vision. With a series of sunken landscaped pockets and major event spaces dispersed along a street-level pedestrian promenade, the exciting retail offering is envisaged to be a permeable urban edge designed to maximise retail sightlines – achieving a balance between creative aesthetics and commercial viability.

Inspired by the natural history of the site and the intricate patterns of the oil palm tree, the design concept seeks to create an architectural language which stitches the various components together. The development will be crowned by a simple yet iconic roof element which will weave along the rooftop landscaped spine.

Regards.

It's located along Jalan SS16/1. Check Google Map, especially the land beside Saujana Residency sprawling all the way to Mesiniaga Office Tower. They will demolish the recond car showroom next year. It is expected to launch around April/May next year about RM900-1,000 psf.

Added on September 30, 2012, 5:21 pmSaujana Residency's serviced apartments, Subang Avenue's serviced apartments and Isola condominiums (launch price) are selling about average RM600- RM860 psf which are located nearby SJCC. The larger the size, the cheaper the price psf. In my opinion, it is fair value.

A closer look to the SJCC development. The designs are very similar to Ion Orchard in Singapore because it is by the same designer Benoy. I believe it has the potential to be the next "mini" orchard road in KL.

I am a resident in USJ Heights and the KESAS highway doesn't affect me at all. In fact, you will realize it is one of the quietest area in Subang. The KESAS highway only affects certain units in Reika and Cyprus in USJ Heights. In terms of accessibility, I find no trouble as I do not have to face traffic congestion and it is strategically located in the midst of USJ and Shah Alam. The industrial areas "Subang Hi-Tech Industrial Park" is a very clean industrial park so it does not affect us. I see no reason why you should criticize the location.
