Location
An aerial view of The ZIZZ in Damansara Damai (Photo courtesy of thezizz.com)
Damansara Damai, once a low-profile and tranquil neighbourhood perched in the northernmost part of Petaling Jaya, due to its address being Jalan PJU 10/1A (which stands for Petaling Jaya Utara), is also being invaded by other high-rise developments such as Sphere Damansara, which share the same access road and address with The ZIZZ at Damansara North.
Once these developments are completed, the population count in the area will be well over 100,000. There are four major highways that link Damansara Damai to the rest of Klang Valley. There’s the North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP), SPRINT Expressway and Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and the Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR).
The ZIZZ at Damansara Damai, compared to existing condominiums in the vicinity such as One Damansara and Armanee Condominium, faces a major and traffic-heavy highway called the Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR). On the other side of the highway is Taman Perindustrian KIP, Kepong. Those who are travelling from Petaling Jaya or Puchong can take the LDP to get there, and folks who are working in the city centre can reach there via the NKVE in 24 minutes.
Due to high traffic volume in Damansara Damai and its surrounding areas during peak hours, future residents should expect bumper to bumper traffic and unforeseen delays due to unexpected breakdowns of heavy vehicles along LATAR, known to be frequented by lorries.
Why are people beginning to pay attention?
Damansara Damai is a mere 15-minute drive away from other more established neighbourhoods such as Desa Parkcity, Bandar Sri Damansara, and Damansara Perdana, which have experienced exponential growth in terms of property developments, prices and population.
According to one source, three developers in the Damansara Damai area, namely Jaya Megah Building & Engineering Sdn Bhd, MK Land Holdings Berhad and Asian Pac Holdings Berhad, have plans to join forces to propose four new road extensions with Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya (MPPJ). The first two proposals consist of a flyover, which will begin at Prima Damansara, cut across the MRR2, and divert traffic towards Kepong, and away from the U-turn at the traffic lights, which is currently the only access road leading into the neighbourhood. The second one will be a back road leading from Damansara Damai right up to Bandar Sri Damansara, where Sutera Damansara is located.
Drivers have to pay RM2.60 at this penchala tol plaza on Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (E11), to enter Bandar Sri Damansara and Desa ParkCity
The above photo are shows traffic conditions along the Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR) heading towards the main traffic lights leading in to Damansara Damai. To enter Damansara Damai, turn left at the traffic lights junction. To get on to Jalan PJU 10/1A, turn left again at the next road

Good news for future residents of The ZIZZ
The developer has proposed a shaded walkway for the convenience of residents, one that would start from the ninth floor of Aura, leading right up to the doorstep of Damansara Damai MRT station, which will be located approximately 350 metres away from the property.
Nearby amenities
Aeon Maxvalu, Econsave Cash & Carry, and Courts Megastore
Public Urban Park adjacent to The ZIZZ
Still in planning by master developer MK Land is a 4-acre park, which is set to be built on reserve land.
Schools situated within a 2-kilometre radius
Damansara Damai is home to numerous government schools namely Sekolah Kebangsaan Damansara Damai 1, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bandar Baru Sri Damansara 2, Sekolah Sri Bestari, 101 Classroom Bandar Sri Damansara, and ELC International School.

About The Developer
The ZIZZ at Damansara Damai is a serviced apartment project undertaken by Jaya Megah Building & Engineering Sdn Bhd (a homegrown property and housing developer, general trader and investment holding company) in partnership with a Taipei-based Taiwanese developer Shay Her Group. The ZIZZ at Damansara Damai is the 11th project collaboration between the two entities. The company’s previous projects included Amara Boulevard & Serviced Residence at Batu Caves, Amandari Duplex Condo in Taman Sri Segambut, Medan Klang Lama 28 at Jalan Klang Lama, and Laman Villa in Klang.
Other developments under the developer’s portfolio:
- Diamond Residence @ Gombak
- Segar View @ Taman Segar, Cheras
- Selaseh 36 @ Batu Caves
- Shayher Villa @ Taman Yarl
- Taman Bukit Serdang Seksyen 5
Summary
One of the reasons people buy a condominium unit instead of landed property is because of the low maintenance. For those who are currently looking to invest in a serviced apartment and enjoy all the facilities and amenities that it has to offer, then The ZIZZ at Damansara Damai may be just the place for you. But if you plan to purchase as an investor, you may need to wait until the MRT station in Damansara Damai is completed in 2022, for better potential rental return.
Would you go for the look and feel of the property? Or do you care more about the community the property inhabits?
