There are quite a number of residential developments which have often times been associated with a green concept. As we speak, another high-rise development, called The Greens, is being developed somewhere in the Shah Alam – Subang Jaya vicinity. How this project lives up to its name as “The Greens” actually lies not in its external environment, but what is offered inside the development itself.
Occupying a total land size of 7 acres, The Greens @ Subang West, or its approved project name Residensi Hijauan, is a middle density high-rise condominium located just 8 minutes away, or 3 kilometres, from AEON Mall in Section 13 Shah Alam. This 18 storey residential building is located adjacent to several high-rise apartments including Alam Prima, Alam Idaman and Alam Sanjung. These properties were built by CB Land Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary company of contractor-cum-property developer Crest Builder Holdings Berhad.
The access road to The Greens is an immediate turn off from the ELITE Highway, a major expressway that is linked to the Federal Highway, KESAS, and Guthrie Corridor Expressway and North South Valley Expressway.

Up to 45 facilities, including:
The Greens features two 18-storey towers, where each tower comes in 2 side-by-side wings. In total, there are 646 “Park Homes”, inclusive of typical, corner, and terraced units. Instead of balconies, the terraced units are each afforded an open terrace. Each Type A typical and Type C corner units have a built up of 915 square feet, and only the terrace units are each sized at 1,184 square feet. Residents of the terrace units will have easy access to 45 in-house facilities such as an infinity pool, indoor gym, outdoor fitness spots, dancing/aerobics room, sauna, jogger’s path, cycling track, and badminton court, just to name a few.

The lifestyle aspect of this “Park Homes” development can be traced to the 120,000-acre park which sits at the heart of the development. Complementing this very park is another six distinctly-landscaped pocket parks. Each of these pocket parks serve a distinct function and purpose. There’s a variety of outdoor games to play too, from futsal to playground. Perched on the highest floors are open spaces for barbecues.

All units are partly furnished with hood and hob, air-conditioners for both master and living, and basic bathroom fittings. The podium parking facility sits below the residential units. Parking bays inside the building are well over 1,000. Each unit owner will be given 2 parking bays, in which the parking orientation will either be tandem or standard.
Unlike most condominiums where the main garbage chute is located inside the building compound, in the case of The Greens, the garbage collection chute is located away from the residences. The developer has paid attention to the nitty gritty to maximise the living comforts of its residents.
Paying attention to the details is what makes the show unit look equally promising, boasting efficiently-sized units with practical layouts. Wooden flooring material for all bedrooms, modern and contemporary anti-slip tiles for the bathrooms, and easy-to-maintain tiles for the living, dining and kitchen spaces.
Most of the units boasts either a facilities view, or views of the surrounding matured neighbourhoods of Shah Alam, Subang, USJ, and Sunway.
What comes with every unit:
Dining and living. Note the very large easy-to-maintain homogenous tiles, which will come with the actual unit. This is also a testament of the foresight of the developing company, who is a contractor-cum-property developer
Bathroom will come with the basic fittings, as well as anti-slip tiles shown in this picture
What’s provided in a completed unit is the built-in kitchen cabinets (including the fan and stove), and again, the easy-to-clean wall tiles

A closer look at the construction site of The Greens
In the past decade, Shah Alam is experiencing a surge in population, upward trend in demand for properties, and major overhaul in greater infrastructure and connectivity. Section 7 and Section 13 in Shah Alam have seen the greatest growth in terms of commercial properties. Located west of Kuala Lumpur and adjacent to Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Glenmarie, and USJ, Shah Alam is more connected today than it ever was.
Due to its proximity to Section 13 Shah Alam and adjacent matured township of Subang Jaya, The Greens has easy access to universities Management and Science University (MSU), UiTM, KDU University College, Open University Malaysia, PTPL College, and Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Polytechnic (PSA).
Fronted by the ELITE Highway, The Greens is located near the border of Shah Alam and Subang Jaya. It is also accessible via Federal Highway, KESAS Highway, Guthrie Corridor Expressway, North Klang Valley Expressway, and Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP). Apart from ample road connectivity, there’s also public transport, bus services and KTM Commuter services within a short drive away. The opposing sides of the ELITE Highway either connect you to Kuala Lumpur in 25 km, Klang in 18 km, and Ipoh in 200km, or take you to Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
A note of caution. Traffic conditions along both sides of the ELITE Highway leading into the Federal Highway is jam-packed during peak hours. Hopefully, once the LRT 3 Line is up and running, it will help decrease the number of vehicles on the major highways, thereby cutting down the number of vehicles on the road.
An expanded network of rail and road connectivity equals to an increase in the number of people travelling in and out of the area. The combined population count between the Sunway, Subang, Shah Alam, Klang and Puchong areas is 1 million. This means that future demand for properties will come from young working professionals and students, thanks to a steady supply of residential developments and established centres within USJ, Subang and Sunway.

There you have it – a condominium with a park parked right inside the development’s compound. In order to seek solitude and respite while residing in this condominium, you don’t have to travel outside the comforts of your home turf.
Having a unit at The Greens would also garner a pretty decent rental income due to its close proximity to the industrial belt of Batu Tiga and education hub of Shah Alam.
Plus, The Greens is located right next to section 13 Shah Alam, a place that’s changing and developing commercially, as we speak. Give The Greens a serious consideration if you are looking into owning and investing in this part of the Klang Valley.
Nestled within the evolving 100-acre township of De Centrum City is mixed high-rise and landed development Rimbawan Residences, which occupies a mere 7.4 acres.
