Life in TTDI is all about enjoying a neighbourhood with a great community feel, located within convenient proximity to some fantastic nearby amenities.
This increasingly popular township was first developed in the early 1970s, creating a suburban community in what was then considered a largely rural setting. This self-contained suburb has benefited from substantial growth both within and outwith its borders since, making it a well-connected township surrounded by desirable and developed neighbourhoods, creating a real village-in-the-city feel that makes it popular with homebuyers today.

This huge complex, located in Bandar Utama Damansara, has a total footprint of over 5 million square feet. If you’re looking for excitement and entertainment, it boasts two cinemas, a huge bowling alley, arcade centre, karaoke centres, and a range of more sporting leisure pursuits such as rock climbing at Camp5 Climbing Gym, and rooftop baseball at It’s a Hit.
