Puncak Jalil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taman Puncak Jalil (formerly known as Bandar Seri Bukit Jalil) is an 801 acres (3.2 km²) township in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is situated near the Technology Park Malaysia along the Puchong-Sungai Besi Highway. It is just south of the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil.
Adjacent townships include Bandar Kinrara to the northwest, Lestari Perdana to the southeast and Taman Equine to the south.
The development, which is undertaken by Maxisegar Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Talam, is an integrated and self-contained township comprising 11,651 units of residential and commercial properties.
The Gross Development Value of Taman Puncak Jalil is estimated to be about RM2.5 billion with an expected development period of eight years.
The project was first launched in June 2001.
The project has wielded various controversies, notably the environmental damage done to the area (including the destruction of a lake with a natural island), the coercive relocation of native Orang Asli settlements and the general failure of the entire project (less than half of the completed housing areas are occupied).
