The new township called Kajang 2 is being developed by property developer MKH Bhd (formerly known as Metro Kajang Holdings Bhd).

The modern and contemporary township covering an area of about 109 hectares is scheduled for completion by end of next year.

The total gross development value of the township is RM2.7 billion.

The self-sustained new township will comprise of bungalows, semi detached houses, terrace houses, condominiums, serviced apartments, private and international schools and retail mall, among others.
It will also feature a KTM Komuter station with links to the Kajang Bus Terminal as well as connect to all major roads and highways.

MKH group executive chairman Datuk Alex Chen Kooi Chiew said the township currently offers ready access to Lekas Highway, Silk Highway, North-South Highway and the Saga Highway.

He said construction work for the Kajang 2 phase one project consisting of two-storey terrace houses and two-storey semi-detached houses started three years ago.

All 137 units of two-storey terrace houses built was sold out while 52 units out of the 104 units of the semi detached houses have been sold.

"The keys are being handed to the house owners in stages since we started in December last year.

"Phase 2 of the project is tentatively scheduled for September with the construction of serviced apartments.

"We are anticipating this to be a successful township as other than the landed properties and high-rise apartments, we are also planning to construct serviced apartments, town villas and also a 23ha integrated commercial area," added Chen.

"We are also in the midst of finishing the construction work of Rafflesia International school as the student intake will begin January next year," he said.

The KTM station, flyover and underpass project will commence once Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) approves the plans, he said.

Chen said plans were submitted to MPKj last December.

"We are also waiting for the authorities' approval to build a flyover linking Persiaran Bangi to the township.

"Once it is completed, the access to the North-South highway will be easier for the residents.

"The underpass will offer Kajang residents a shorter route as they no longer will need to detour along the Silk Highway, reducing their journey up to 10km.

"The retail mall, which will be built soon, will be one of the biggest in Hulu Langat, catering to about a population of one million in the district," he said.

Recently, a carnival was held by MKH to show appreciation to purchasers of its Phase 1 homes.

The carnival was held also in conjunction with the launch of MKH's new sales gallery.

About, 2,000 purchasers and guests attended the event.

The event was graced by the Raja Kecil Besar Perak Datuk Seri Iskandar Zulkarnain Sultan Idris A'fifullah Shah and Datuk Seri Diraja Tunku Soraya Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'azam Shah.

Ten charitable homes were invited to partake in the carnival and each home received RM3,000.
