News about Town

住在Petaling Jaya的人们，一定对Damansara Utama（简称DU）不陌生。这里是个繁忙的地方，有银行、餐厅、咖啡厅提及办公单位，每日人车攘来熙往，白天为公务，夜晚为娱乐消遣，是个非常热闹的商区与住宅社区。 DU分为两个区块——位于西区的SS21以及东区的SS20（也称Damansara Kim）；SS21主要为商区，也就是人们熟悉的Damansara Uptown，这里也有一些有地房产；SS20则主要以住宅区为主。 DU的主要发展商为See Hoy Chan Bhd，该集团已在这里建设了3,000间住宅房屋及300间店铺。 Damansara Uptown的主要房产是办公楼及店铺，近期发展包括已经建竣的五层楼高且拥有45万平方尺净出租空间的The Starling购物商场、38层楼高的Uptown 8办公楼，还有Ascott管理的服务式公寓——Somerset Damansara Uptown。 这些新落成建筑均为DU注入新的活力，也成为该区的新地标。 Laurelcap Sdn Bhd’s director Stanley Toh告诉TheEdgeProperty.
