Through thoughtful masterplanning, biophilic design, and wellness-driven amenities, both townships are carefully curated to nurture lives at every stage, from growing families to active retirees.

Whether it is the green tranquillity of Serene Heights or the urban vibrancy of Kiara Bay, both townships share one promise: to create homes that support holistic wellbeing and environmental responsibility.

Award-winning developer, UEM Sunrise Bhd believes that true progress begins with people’s wellbeing. Health, happiness, and human connection are woven into the very foundations of every UEM Sunrise township, creating spaces where families thrive, communities grow, and the environment flourishes.

The principle is clearly demonstrated in two of its standout townships: Serene Heights in Semenyih, Selangor, and Kiara Bay in Greater Kuala Lumpur. Both embody a simple truth: a healthy community starts with a healthy environment. Through thoughtful masterplanning, biophilic design, and wellness-driven amenities, both townships are carefully curated to nurture lives at every stage, from growing families to active retirees.

Two townships, one vision: wellness as a way of life

Though different in tempo, Serene Heights and Kiara Bay are guided by the same heartbeat, homes are where life finds balance. One offers peace and greenery for families seeking a more tranquil lifestyle, while the other delivers vibrancy and connection for those drawn to an active, modern lifestyle.

Some of the homes at Serene Heights.

At Serene Heights, a 448-acre freehold land, UEM Sunrise has designed a sanctuary around nature, devoting a quarter of its land to lush greenery, from shaded lawns and sculpted wetland parks to fruiting trees and water fountains, creating a township where every day feels calmer, fresher, and beautifully in tune with the landscape.

Meanwhile, Kiara Bay pulses with urban vitality while staying grounded in wellbeing. Located beside the 235-acre Kepong Metropolitan Park, this 73-acre township is a collaboration between UEM Sunrise, and Melati Ehsan Holdings Bhd, through Mega Legacy (M) Sdn Bhd. It redefines KL’s liveability with a masterplan built around green integration, walkability, and social connection.

Homes built for space, comfort, and family life

Serene Heights township introduces Intrika 2, a celebration of nature, family, and Malaysian heritage. Designed for young couples, growing families, and upgraders, this collection of terrace homes draws inspiration from the rich textures of Nusantara architecture, blending cultural charm with contemporary ease.

Intrika 2's garden

It offers 114 units of two-storey terrace homes ranging from 1,914 to 2,322 sq ft, each with its own private backyard garden, wide balconies for natural light and ventilation, and flexible spaces ideal for multigenerational living. Intrika 2 is expected to be completed by the second half of 2026. Tagged from RM725,800, it offers exceptional value with freehold status and individual titles.

For city dwellers seeking the best of nature and urban convenience, UEM Sunrise offers Residensi ZIG in Kiara Bay. A bold new high-rise set in a 3.4-acre residential tower, it is a worthy purchase for young professionals, young families, and lifestyle-driven buyers. With a gross development value (GDV) of RM734 million, this exciting new development offers serviced apartments in five different configurations, ranging from 450 to 1,198 sq ft. A total of 1,126 units are housed in three zones: one at 49 storeys, and two at 55 storeys. Offering units with exclusive interior-design perks, prices start from an affordable RM340,000 *.

Where community comes alive

At Intrika 2, and Residensi ZIG, connections are weaved in, because these townships are designed not just for living, but for belonging.

At Residensi ZIG, nature becomes the neighbourhood’s gathering space. Meandering walkways and shaded gazebos invite residents to take a breather, meet, and share life outdoors. Ten landscaped ponds link seamlessly to walkways and cycling paths, creating a natural flow that encourages outdoor living, while themed parks like Hopscotch Valley and Gasing Land invite children to play freely.

At the same time, an urban vibe lends the development a lively energy. Anchored by The Beat, a 69,112 sq ft  sq ft community and lifestyle hub, residents come together for weekend bazaars, fitness sessions, and social events overlooking the lake. Open plazas, pedestrian-friendly boulevards, and retail spaces encourage everyday encounters, turning neighbours into friends and public spaces into shared memories. Designed around three distinct districts: The Waters, The Walk, and The Village, Kiara Bay is a living, breathing cityscape built for movement, connection, and sustainability.

Connected for life, designed for convenience

Both Intrika 2, and Residensi ZIG are effortlessly connected to everything that matters. Intrika 2, perfectly positioned between KL, Putrajaya, and Cyberjaya, enjoys seamless access through major highways such as PLUS, LEKAS, and SILK, making city commutes and weekend getaways a breeze. Families benefit from being close to top-tier educational institutions like Tenby International School, and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, while lifestyle hubs like IOI City Mall bring shopping, dining, and entertainment within minutes of home.

At Residensi ZIG, city life is well within reach. With two MRT stations nearby—Jinjang and Kepong Baru—residents can hop onto the Klang Valley’s urban transit grid and get anywhere with ease. A proposed township shuttle service will make the journey even smoother, connecting residents straight to the MRT stations. The township is also seamlessly linked by MRR2, DUKE, and LDP, giving drivers multiple routes across the city.

From schools and hospitals to shopping malls and parks, everything you need is right at your doorstep, designed for comfort, convenience, and a life that moves as freely as you do.

Designed for tomorrow

Every decision, from layout to landscape, is made to reduce carbon footprints and future-proof communities at both developments. Taking a nature-first approach, the townships’ water loops work with the land’s natural contours to manage floods and support ecological balance. The use of native and fruit-bearing trees cools the air and nurtures biodiversity, turning green design into daily life.

In alignment with UEM Sunrise's low carbon agenda, The Beat is currently equipped with 1,702 solar PV panels. Likewise, the newly-opened The Beat 2.0 is largely sun-powered through approximately 3,000 solar PV panels.Linear parks and urban farming zones promote self-sufficiency and biodiversity, proving that modern city living can be both vibrant and sustainable.

Together, these townships champion renewable energy, walkable communities, and living landscapes, setting a new benchmark for Malaysia’s sustainable future.

A vision rooted in people, powered by place

Whether it is the green tranquillity of Serene Heights or the urban vibrancy of Kiara Bay, both townships share one promise: to create homes that support holistic wellbeing and environmental responsibility.
