HULU SELANGOR, A total of 2,340 units of terrace houses will be built under the first large-scale Rumah Selangorku project, known as Lagenda Ardea, with completion expected in 2027. Kumpulan Hartanah Selangor Berhad (KHSB) chief executive officer Rahana Abdullah said the development of these housing units, on an area of 77 hectares, in Bernam Jaya here, is a collaboration with the developer Lagenda Properties Berhad. "This shows our full commitment to meet the increasing demand for housing. We will not only develop the building structure but are determined to make Lagenda Ardea a sustainable and liveable community,' she said at the Rumah Selangorku Lagenda Ardea ground-breaking ceremony here today. Also present at the ceremony were Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, State Secretary and KHSB chairman Datuk Haris Kasim as well as Lagenda Properties Berhad chairman Admiral (R) Tan Sri Dr Ahmad Kamarulzaman Ahmad Badaruddin. The first phase of Lagenda Ardea involves the development of 831 one- storey terrace houses, comprising three rooms and two bathrooms, with applications to be made on the Selangor Housing and Property Board website, under the Rumah Selangorku Application Registation System. Additionally, Rahana said the development of Lagenda Ardea is in line with the First Selangor Plan (2021-2025) which is to make Selangor a smart, prosperous and habitable state by 2025. She also said that KHSB, as a state government subsidiary under the auspices of Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated is one of the state's implementing agencies in economic and business-related activities, particularly in the property sector. Meanwhile, Amirudin said the construction of the Rumah Selangorku houses in the area showed a good market value after 60 per cent of the project had received applications before the launch this month. "In the meantime, our team is in the process of evaluating several proposals involving tourist areas here, in addition to being prepared to look for any project or booster project in the area, among others that involved the construction of schools or educational institutions,' he said. 'It is certain we will also benefit from Proton City, located 15 kilometres (km) from here. Actually, there are many proposals that have been submitted to become a booster element, and I am sure that it will provide added value to this area," he said. Apart from this, the development of mega projects such as the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) in Serendah, located about 20 km from the housing project, is also seen to be advantageous to the housing project.
