Almost complete: One block of the Tiaraville/e-Tiara project is complete with the second now in its final stages.

NEW developments in Subang Jaya will soon give a facelift to the booming township.
While development bodes well for an urban address, helping make Subang a desired destination, this, however, would only also mean an increase in population and a rise in congestion, especially since most of these projects are concentrated within a small enclave of the township.
The previously empty piece of land between Carrefour Subang Jaya and Mesiniaga has been converted to serviced apartments and suites. The first is the E-Tiara/Tiaraville serviced apartments, with one building al-ready up and a similar one under-going construction.

Signs of the times: Billboards have also sprung up, giving information on the various projects.

Next to that project is the Subang Avenue serviced suites, comprising four blocks of 10-storey suites (with 70 units per block).
Just behind Subang Parade shopping mall, along the same row as the KTM Komuter station on Jalan SS16/1, is the Saujana Residency serviced apartment project that is scheduled for completion in mid-2009.
Next to it is the new Empire Subang, comprising four different projects called Empire Suites, Empire Tower (to be made up of corporate offices), Empire Soho (small office home office), and Empire Gallery (which will be a shopping mall).
Take a drive further down the road and you will come across another project called Jana Towers, where its concept is planned as an apartment within an apartment.

Traffic worry: Once all the projects are complete, there will be more traffic, adding to the congestion.

Subang Jaya assemblyman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng said there would definitely be an increase in traffic, but these developers were those that had originally contributed RM60mil in 2000 to build the interchange from the Federal Highway into Jalan Tujuan.
“They were promised that they could build either offices or serviced apartments following that contribution. But we have plans to help ease traffic once the developments are up.
”The first is the Subang-Kelana link, the second is an LRT station to interface with the KTM Komuter station, and lastly, we are asking for a contribution of RM4mil from the developers and another RM4mil from the state government.
“The RM8mil would be used to build a 1.5km pedestrian walkway which would be called Subang Jaya Boule-vard, to stretch from Wisma Mesiniaga all the way to Valley Club where Jana Towers is sitting above now,” he said.
