SWANS @ Rimbayu in Selangor is a project of IJM Land, which is part of IJM Corporation. Founded in 1989, the former is a leading and multi award-winning property developer that has been honoured with the prestigious FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Award.
The developer has a total undeveloped landbank spanning 4,000 acres with an overall gross development value (GDV) of more than RM30 billion. These are located in key growth areas in Malaysia such as those in Sarawak, Sabah, Johor, Seremban, Pahang, Penang and Greater Kuala Lumpur, in addition to land parcels in Vietnam, China, and the UK.
SWANS @ Rimbayu is the 11th phase of IJM Land’s sprawling 1,879-acre Bandar Rimbayu township, an integrated project located in Telok Panglima Garang, adjacent to Kota Kemuning. The township itself comprises houses, commercial, recreational and parkland components with a gross development value (GDV) of about RM11 billion.
SWANS @ Rimbayu has a GDV of RM170 million and consists of 195 units of two-storey linked houses. The units are spread across leasehold land with a residential title. They’re expected to be completed by 2021.

- Rimbayu Club Village – 16 acres for residents with Gymnasium facilities and Sauna, Olympic-size Swimming Pool, Children’s Splash Pool, Family Karaoke Rooms, Badminton Courts, Squash Courts and Roof Gardens.
- Security Through CPTED – All Rimbayu homes have safety and security measures such as CPTED which stands Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. This method enlists “defensible space” solutions to create a sense of ownership and responsibility for the homeowner by focusing on territoriality and natural surveillance. Small cluster housing arrangements, territorial fence demarcation, well-lit paths, dedicated entrance and security checkpoints with limited card access for selected parcels are strong deterrents against intruder break-ins.
- Pedestrian Safety Through Traffic Calming Techniques – Integration of road hierarchy, culs-de-sac, humps and pedestrian walkways have been implemented. This is to control traffic speed, pedestrian safety and low traffic. These restrictive, protective features ensure that children can run freely and play outdoors safely in this neighbourhood.
Launch Price: From RM862,800

Residents of SWANS @ Rimbayu will be able to utilise The Arc and the Rimbayu Club Village. The former is a 10,000 sq ft award-winning space, while the latter is a state-of-the-art clubhouse, both of which come with a myriad of facilities to suit people from all ages and walks of life. Apart from that, there’s also the 5-acre central park right in the heart of the Bandar Rimbayu township itself.
What is probably the most enviable thing about this development is that it’s part of a humongous and well-planned township, allowing for a complete and holistic lifestyle once matured. The subproject also has a single entry and exit point for exclusivity and better security.
SWANS @ Rimbayu will also have smart home infrastructure, including Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) high-speed broadband. That’s not all! Apart from high-end finishes, the homes in this low-density project will have a north or south orientation to mitigate heat gain from the sun. There will also be a 1.5-acre open space where residents can hold picnics or bond with their loved ones amidst lush surroundings.
Location
SWANS @ Rimbayu is nestled within a strategic location. Apart from being situated near the thriving township of Kota Kemuning, it’s also close to Subang Jaya, and Putrajaya.
The development is well-connected to major roads such as ELITE Highway, Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Kemuning–Shah Alam Highway (LKSA) and the upcoming West Coast Expressway (WCE). This excellent accessibility means the residents can easily travel to Shah Alam, Puchong, Damansara, Petaling Jaya, and Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC).
The development is also close to shopping centres. The Sanctuary Mall and Quayside Mall are just a short drive away, while the township features a commercial area to cater to the residents’ needs.
Residents also have the option of travelling to nearby Bandar Bukit Tinggi, where an AEON supermarket can be found. They can also go to Bandar Saujana Putra for shopping, or travel to Kota Kemuning where there are many other stores, banks, and schools. If parents don’t want to drive out of town for their kids’ schooling, the Oasis International School in the Bandar Rimbayu township has been completed and has started accepting student enrolments since late 2018.

One of the best things about SWANS @ Rimbayu is its price point. In fact, the landed homes there are roughly 20% more affordable than two other leasehold projects in the immediate vicinity – Livia and Chimes, which are also part of IJM Land’s Bandar Rimbayu township. Another attractive thing is the larger layout area (perfect for those wanting to start/grow their family!), lower density and the developer’s reputation for building quality homes.
Summary
If the units in SWANS @ Rimbayu are indeed priced at RM862,800 as stated by the developer’s official website, then they are truly attractive compared with prices of previously completed homes in the township.
