New Adventure with Nature Awaits Every Day at IJM Rimbayu

AN AWARD-WINNING residential development within an award-winning township, Robin @ IJM RIMBAYU by IJM Land Berhad gives space, freedom and nature back to families looking to embark on their happily ever after.

Spanning 47.83 acres in the Fauna precinct of the IJM Rimbayu township in Selangor, Robin redefines affordable landed living with thoughtfully planned homes that integrate nature, wellness and community.

Embracing the township’s DNA while adding its own ‘Parkland Living’ identity, Robin was designed to reimagine neighbourhood living, where life is simple and carefree with tree-lined streets and close-knit communities.

Rooted in IJM Rimbayu’s FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2017 Gold Winner master plan, Robin combines affordability with intentional design to deliver sustainability, biodiversity and a true sense of belonging.

Robin is more than just a home, it embodies a renewed way of living that supports a greener and healthier lifestyle.

The development is master planned around 8.63 acres of land dedicated to a community farm, tropical orchard, pocket parks and woodlands.

Reflecting IJM Rimbayu’s promise that great townships are thoughtfully grown, not just built, this green network forms walkable corridors that reconnect residents with nature while maintaining ecological balance within the precinct.

Marking a planning milestone in residential development, Robin is recognised with the prestigious Malaysia Property AwardTM 2025 in the Housing Residential Landed Category.

IJM Land chief operating officer Datuk Chai Kian Soon said the company’s success in landed housing stemmed from its long-term township vision, design excellence and community-centric philosophy.

“We don’t view our projects as isolated developments, but as part of a growing ecosystem that matures and appreciates in value over time. Our approach combines strong masterplanning, environmental sensitivity and an understanding of evolving life-style needs.

“Each precinct, whether in IJM Rimbayu, Seremban 2, Alam Suria or Penang, is designed to foster belonging, sustainability and quality living,” he said, adding that the accolade has further affirmed their belief that true excellence is not just about beautiful homes, but about creating places where families can build their future, grow together and thrive as a community.

A legacy for generations to come

The goal was to create a wellness-focused, community-oriented development that balances aspiration and affordability targeting first-time buyers and apartment upgraders.

Certified with GreenRE Bronze for long-term liveability, it has innovation and smart design woven into every aspect of the neighbourhood, creating a resilient, future-ready environment.

A natural continuation of a master plan that has earned international acclaim, Robin offers individually titled landed homes in a guarded enclave with exclusive resident-only facilities.

The project consists of 615 double-storey link homes categorised into Type A (177 units), Type B (333 units) and Type C (105 units), with built-ups ranging from 1,535sq ft to 2,009sq ft.

Type A is compact and ideal for young families, Type B is versatile to meet evolving lifestyles while Type C (intermediate unit garden-homes) caters to multigenerational living.

Each home is thoughtfully conceived to prioritise spatial flow, natural comfort and multigenerational adaptability in enhancing the way families live, grow and thrive.

The emphasis is on natural light, cross-ventilation and flexible spatial planning, creating functional homes that will remain comfortable, resilient and relevant for generations.

Parkland-inspired planning

Designed around an 8.63-acre network of green spaces, owning a home here is like owning your very own pocket of nature.

Residences are intimately connected to the greenery that surrounds and recreational amenities are seamlessly woven into the neighbourhood fabric.

True to Robin’s Parkland Living identity, the green lung is thoughtfully designed to support wellness, foster connection, promote biodiversity and encourage outdoor enjoyment.

The feeling of always being in touch with nature is not a privilege, but a given with amenities such as a tropical orchard, a community farm, camping and picnic site, a 2.5km jogging and cycling track, basketball, badminton and futsal courts.

A first-of-its-kind initiative by the developer, the 0.6-acre orchard blends a 100% organic fruit farm with the charm of a neighbourhood park.

It offers a nostalgic, nature-rich space where families can gather, elders can reminisce, and everyone can enjoy the simple pleasures of life under fruit-laden trees.

A shared green space where residents grow herbs and vegetables, the community farm promotes sustainable living and healthy habits.

The dedicated camping and picnic area offers a unique way to embrace outdoor living.

Designed to enrich daily living, there are also kite-flying fields, The Woodlands (form ecological corridors and green buffers with in the development), outdoor par course with exercise stations, reflexology paths and fitness nodes.

These are not just amenities, they are anchors of a lifestyle rooted in wellness, community and everyday joy.

The green infrastructures also doubles as social and wellness spaces, aligning environmental and human sustainability, and reinforcing Robin’s parkland living philosophy.

Robin’s greatest success lies not in sales charts, but in the lives quietly flourishing within it. The development was designed to nurture connection, not just between homes and parks, but between people.

Beyond the immediate precinct, Robin residents also get to enjoy seamless access to a wide array of township-level facilities within IJM Rimbayu. This integrated network of amenities ensures they experience a holistic and self-sufficient lifestyle, blending suburban peace with urban-level convenience.

An iconic social hub and community landmark, The ARC is a 60,000sq ft semi-indoor event space that comfortably accommodates up to 10,000 people.

This self-sustaining lush green centrepiece features a green roof, a reflecting canal and a large communal plaza. It has garnered multiple accolades for its excellence in placemaking, landscape architecture and green design.

The Club is a lifestyle hub with sports and wellness facilities while The Linear Park is a 6.3-acre recreational green spin featuring thematic gardens, eco-learning trails and inclusive play zones that reflect IJM Rimbayu’s commitment to sustainability, wellness and community connection.

Other lifestyle conveniences include Starbucks, McDonald, The Quayside Mall, Lotus Superstore, Ikea pop-up store and Oasis International School (Kuala Lumpur).

Robin also enjoys excellent connectivity with accessibility via Lebuhraya Shah Alam (Kesas), Lebuhraya Kemuning-Shah Alam, Expressway Lingkaran Tengah (Elite), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) and West Coast Expressway (WCE).

The township nature perfected

IJM Rimbayu began as a bold transformation in 2012, reclaiming 1,879 acres of former agriculture land and reimagining it as a future-ready, award-winning township.

Today, IJM Rimbayu is a flourishing address with 4,459 homes across 14 phases and 11 active communities, and supported by commercial hubs like Blossom Drive, Blossom Square, Uptown and Promenade.

The master planned township continues to grow with ROAM, a first-of-its-kind retail and office space and District 28 featuring premium semi-detached shop offices with main road frontage.

Every precinct reflects a chapter in this evolving masterplan and represents not only infrastructure excellence but also intentional placemaking that promotes harmony between built form and nature.

A township to shape your life, the development is a living blue-print where iconic amenities, green innovation and neighbourhood spirit grow together.

IJM Rimbayu not only stands as IJM Land’s fastest growing flagship township but also as one of the most sought after addresses and key growth catalyst in southern Selangor.
