Subang Jaya is a township which is situated between Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. It is situated inside the Subang Jaya district within the Selangor state, and is a popular option for real estate investors who are attracted to its closeness to Kuala Lumpur. In the 1970′s it was a plantation as well as a small trading town. Since that time, serious development has quickly altered the landscape with the deployment of residential areas and commercial projects. The population of the Subang Jaya town is about 455,000.

The First Subang, on the other hand, is designated as the business and commercial center of Subang Jaya. It enjoys a superb location which faces the main road, and its accessibility will increase when the LRT station is built. It is near Subang Jaya’s main commercial area. Some businesses which are already in First Subang are Giant, Maxis, Guardian and MBC.
First Subang targets anchor tenants in the retail sector given the high middle-class population in the area. It consists of office towers in an area of about one acre. The buildings are well equipped with fast connection for data transfer – absolutely essential for today’s businesses which rely heavily on technology.
To conclude, Subang Jaya is a permanent fixture on our real estate radar this year, and with more projects (and transportation development) being rolled out here, prospects are bright.
