Damansara Jaya
Damansara Jaya is a township in Petaling Jaya, Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia, situated in the Sungai Buloh mukim. Consisting of Section SS22 and SS22A, it covers an estimated area of 1.21 km2 (0.47 sq mi) and has an estimated population of 12,000 residents. In 2001, its recorded population was 8,450 residents.
The township consists of almost 2000 residential dwellings consisting of 1538 units of terraced houses, 179 semi-detached housing units, and 42 bungalows, alongside a main commercial area. Atria Shopping Gallery, originally called the Gardenia Town Centre for a brief period of time, is a shopping mall located in the centre of this commercial area.
The demographic profile of Damansara Jaya is characterized as predominantly Malaysian Chinese, with a significant number of upper middle-class property owners. Notable educational institutions within the township include Nobel International School (located on the former site of KDU College), SMK Damansara Jaya, and SK Damansara Jaya.
Damansara Jaya underwent development in the mid-1970s under the purview of Paramount Garden, a subsidiary of See Hoy Chan Sdn Bhd Group. Initially, it comprised Section SS22 of Petaling Jaya. Subsequently, in the latter part of the decade, Section SS22A was incorporated into Damansara Jaya, primarily consisting of bungalows and semi-detached homes. Construction activities commenced in 1975, and by 1978, the first occupants of Damansara Jaya settled into their newly completed double-storey terraced houses.[citation needed]
The Atria, a shopping complex in Damansara Jaya, was originally built in the mid-1980s and featured departmental stores like Kimisawa and Printemps. However, by the late 1980s, the complex went into decline due to recession. Ownership of the Atria changed hands several times throughout the years. In the early 2000s, the complex struggled to compete with newer and bigger malls nearby. Lien Hoe Corporation, the then-owner, decided to redevelop the space but faced challenges in retaining tenants. In 2007, OSK Property Holdings Bhd acquired the Atria and began a major redevelopment project. The original plan involved building a 33-storey office tower with a retail podium. This plan was later revised to a four-storey podium with two office towers. The existing complex was demolished in 2011 and the new development, known as Atria Shopping Gallery, reopened in 2015 with significantly more retail space and parking bays.
In 2007, a residential expansion took place with the addition of 14 units of three-storey semi-detached houses. Originally known as Aman Residency, the development was subsequently renamed Damansara Residensi upon completion. Genting Citra carried out the construction on leasehold land from 2005 to 2006. The area earmarked for this development was previously covered by secondary jungle. This development is a gated community situated behind SK Damansara Jaya, a national-type primary school.
In terms of recent residential property additions, OCR Land Holdings constructed four units of three-storey bungalows named Cloverton between 2012 and 2014, representing the latest housing development in Damansara Jaya.
Damansara Jaya is governed by the Petaling Jaya City Council (Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya, MBPJ). It falls within the city's Zone 5 administrative area, and is represented by a city councillor.
