An exciting addition to the nature-filled city life concept is IJM Land’s Sierra Hijauan, a resort-style residential development located in Sierra Ukay, Ampang. With Sierra Hijauan, being in the centre of the city also means breathing in fresh air from the forest in the vicinity of your own home.
Breathe the Difference
Sierra Hijauan offers residential units next to the Hulu Gombak and Ampang Forest Reserve – home to the vast biodiversity of flora and fauna. As a rainforest with a conducive tropical climate, the forest receives a healthy amount of sunlight and rainfall, contributing to the growth of dense vegetation. The conditions further support a variety of animals and provide nutrients for plants to flourish.
In turn, the residents enjoy the crisp, fresh, clean air from within their homes due to trees and plants' natural air filtering function. More than supplying healthy amounts of oxygen to keep a thriving population, trees can also filter the air — one acre of trees can absorb up to 41,843 kilometres of carbon dioxide from car emissions over a year. Therefore, having a forest reserve as a backyard poses plenty of health benefits for the family.

Peace of Mind
The pandemic has brought much unrest in many people's lives while directly changing how we work, study, and communicate within the safety of our homes. Catering to this shift in lifestyle needs and demands, Sierra Hijauan hopes that its residential concepts, designed to redefine urban living, will help its residents achieve peace of mind in their daily lives.
The development’s strategic positioning leverages the neighbouring green spaces to offer a peaceful and relaxing lifestyle. Together with the amenities and facilities available, residents can easily wind down while enjoying the simpler benefits of nature.
“As one of the most established developers in the country, IJM Land has always thrived by prioritizing the needs of our residents. Through top-notch facilities and ample spaces, Sierra Hijauan is another one of our testaments to innovate modern, liveable and sustainable living, which have proven to provide a variety of tangible and intangible life advantages,” said Dato' Hoo Kim See, Senior General Manager (Central Region) of IJM LAND.
Champion of Overall Well-Being
In championing a post-pandemic residential design to improve lifestyle, Sierra Hijauan offers more than 20 facilities and amenities within its compound, including a swimming pool, picnic area, a meditation deck and nature trail. One of the development’s highlights, the exclusive clubhouse is where residents can utilise the gymnasium, games room and function room for their daily routines.

These facilities accommodate a variety of activities for residents, such as exercise, family bonding activities and appreciation of nature. With an abundance of greenery around, the availability of fresh air is ideal in alleviating health issues. For instance, health experts have found that those who lived near green areas, especially those aged 65 years old and above, slept better at night. By spending more time outdoors and breathing fresh air, serotonin levels are further stimulated to maintain one’s mood, appetite and overall mental health.
