|94| LEMBAH BERINGIN

Описание: Planned as a township by Lembah Beringin Sdn Bhd (a subsidiary of Land & General Bhd or L&G), the 2,000-acre Bandar Baru Lembah Beringin project started development way back in 1994 and launched with 2,300 units of houses. The small township boasted a direct connection to the PLUS North-South Expressway, just under one-hour driving distance to the center of Kuala Lumpur, an 18-hole golf course (LBGC), and a local private school (KYUEM).

Rumors floated at the time that developers were responding to the expectation that the new Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) was going to be built around the district, prompting them to hastily develop a number of townships in Hulu Selangor; among these being Bukit Beruntung, Bandar Sungai Buaya, and Bandar Baru Lembah Beringin. The fact that KLIA ended up being constructed in the Sepang district instead (more than 100km away), may have been the first nail in the coffin for these townships, particularly Lembah Beringin.

L&G was among the countless companies that were hit hard, leading to a screeching halt to the development in Lembah Beringin. Many of the houses in the development were supposed to be complete by 1998, but purchasers stood helplessly as the project crawled to a stop. By 2006, Lembah Beringin Sdn Bhd was fully liquidated, leaving more than 900 unfinished homes behind.


As the housing project became more unattractive to investors, more homes (even the ones that are completed and fit for use) were further left abandoned throughout the years, a vicious cycle that created the graveyard it is today.
