**##Overview##**South of Kuala Lumpur city, Taman Puncak Jalil (TPJ) formerly called Bandar Seri Bukit Jalil, is a residential township with a large commercial centre launched in 2001 and was originally developed by Talam Corporation and later with help from IJM Berhad. Covering 801 acres of leasehold land, this RM2.5 billion development, from and ailing project was rescued and even beautified to a large extent. It is surrounded by townships like Bandar Kinrara, Taman Lestari Perdana, and Equine Park with Bukit Jalil National Sports Centre in the North.A multi-racial middleclass neighbourhood, TPJ is blessed by its close proximity to lush natural forests, fresh air, peace, and quietness whilst being a relatively self-contained development with ample amenities and facilities. Its residences are well designed comprising mainly double storey linked homes and pleasant apartments and condominiums like Casa Rianna that has 360 degree views of Klang Valley besides serene views of Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve. TPJs shop lots are 2-storey linked units concentrated in the single sprawling commercial centre at the heart of this strategically located housing estate in between KL and Putrajaya.
