Only 53% of land in Cyberjaya is available for sale for use as residential, mixed, institutional, light industry (automotive), enterprise and commercial developments.
The rest of the land is reserved for public amenities, utilities, infrastructure and a green lung.
To date, there are 16 developers building their projects concurrently in Cyberjaya.
The ongoing and upcoming cumulative investments amount to about RM 20.6 billion and are projected to reach RM 52.6 billion by 2016.
Cyberview, Managing Director, Ir. Hafidz Hashim in an interview with The Star in April 2012, revealed that investments in Cyberjaya totalled RM 3.12 billion in 2010, and RM 3.1 billion in 2011.

Thirteen percent is still under construction while 31% is still in the planning stages.
Cyberjaya total population is expected to reach 100,000 by 2016 – almost double its current 54,000.
This corresponds with the total property development investments of RM 20 billion in this period alone.
With that, the grand total of investments has reached RM 32.6 billion from all major developers since 1997.
Through careful planning, Cyberjaya is today a true cybercity consisting of business incubators, enterprise development, residential properties, commercial outlets, educational institutions and other public amenities.
a lot of expectation and $$ flowing around, selling land plots to developer building pigeon holes and expect 100,000 population by 2016?
