Bandar Mahkota Banting (Brooklands), Banting Insights

**##Overview##** Towards the south of Selangor, near the coastline, lies Bandar Baru Brooklands or by its new name, Bandar Mahkota Banting, close to Banting town and not too far away from Morib beach. Originally The Lion Group had plans for its subsidiaries Che Kiang Realty Sdn.Bhd., Andalas Development Sdn.Bhd., and Aqua Bio Sdn.Bhd. to develop Phase 1 – 500.49 acres, Phase 2 – 1,036.13 acres, and Phase 3 – 1,244 acres respectively totaling around 1,080 hektars. But since then the development of this property was not really successful and in more recent times this freehold land is being developed by other parties who have bought over parts of the original land. For example, Sanjung Merpati Sdn.Bhd., a subsidiary of Island Circle Development, since 2016, has been developing a 292 acres parcel into becoming a residential estate with a commercial hub. Sanjung Merpati will add more double storey terraced houses and shop lots to the already built single and double storey terraced houses, single storey bungalows and single storey shop lots existing there. There will be a scenic lake view framed by green surroundings with club house facilities like tennis court, children’s playground, and swimming pool situated near the entrance to this township. Surrounded by Taman Merbah, Kampong Sungai Manggis, Taman Sri Manggis industrial land, palm oil estates in the north, and the Langat River in the south, Bandar Mahkota Banting is set to become the first integrated township within the Banting–Jenjarom area. So far this development has been clean, quiet and safe with only light traffic along its many existing tree lined roads servicing the residents of this enclave. **##Amenities & Facilities##** Its current residents now can do their shopping at nearby amenities like Giant Hypermarket and Econsave Supermarket nearby and also at Almanda Shopping Mall and IOI City Mall further away in Putrajaya.
