History

UEP Subang Jaya was first proposed in 1984 as "Seafield Jaya" and was supposed to be a joint venture with Consolidated Plantations before it was transferred to UEP in April 1985. By 1988 it would use its current name with the UEP standing for its developer, United Estates Projects, a property business owned by

. The township, acting as an extension to Subang Jaya, would be developed over 10 to 11 phases within 10 years and would have a population of about 120,000. With 25,000 units of "flats, shops and residential houses" spanning over 726 hectares, it aims at the middle class and emphasises on community building. Awards for the earthworks contract were given in April 1988 and construction of the first phase began in August. UEP would build 2,500 units in the first year. 200 units would be built in each phase. The first houses were sold in June. USJ consists of USJ1 to USJ27. In the late 1990s, many new developments were growing rapidly in USJ. However, due to the economic crisis in 1997, it resulted in three large abandoned high-rise projects. By 2010, these abandoned projects had been revived and completed construction. In recent years, there were plenty of mixed commercial developments around the township to cater to the affluent population. Almost 80% of USJ was developed by

The residential neighborhoods of the USJ township mainly consist of landed houses such as terraces, semi-detached houses and bungalows.
