Eco Grandeur is a sprawling 1,400 acre integrated township designed to provide an ideal environment for families and fulfilling lifestyle. Embracing it connection to nature and fostering a welcoming community, it reflects a deep commitment to environmental sustainability. The township seamlessly incorporates eco-friendly designs while preserving biodiversity through a thoughtfully crafted masterplan. Its landscaping features dedicated zones that support various native species, ensuring a harmonious co-existence between development and nature.
In 2024, we completed the 2km Biodiversity Education Ribbon at Eco Grandeur, designed to educate the community on the vital role biodiversity and natural ecosystems play in sustaining a healthy environment. We believe preserving the environment is a shared responsibility to ensure a thriving world for future generations to enjoy.

Eco Grandeur recognises that we are part of nature, not separate from it. Our master plan aims to inspire harmonious coexistence with wildlife, both on land and in water, embodying the theme "Our Shared Habitats." This vision transforms green spaces into thriving habitats for diverse terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, encouraging residents of Eco Grandeur to cherish these habitats as deeply as they value their homes.

Eco Grandeur is globally significant, situated along the Asian-Australasian Bird Migration Flyway. In 2017, a biological study was conducted to assess the site's biodiversity value, revealing its location on this major migratory route. Each year, billions of birds travel great distances between inner Siberia and southern Australia to escape the winter, passing through this critical flyway.
Studies have shown that Eco Grandeur serves as an ecological "stepping stone," providing native bird communities with feeding and resting grounds as they move between the Selangor coast and the Titiwangsa Mountain Range. Positioned in the upriver areas of Sungai Buloh, the township’s wetland parks and gardens were designed to designed to support a wide variety of species and regenerate a balanced food chain. These habitats are expected to sustain numerous fish and insect species, which will serve as food for migratory birds and help replenish surrounding ecosystems, including Sungai Buloh, as their populations grow.
Our biodiversity assessment recorded a total of 100 bird species, with 13 confirmed as migratory, reflecting the township's rich avian diversity.
Water bodies in urban landscapes play a crucial role for social, environmental, and economic reasons. They provide essential ecosystem services, including recreation opportunities, flood control, and water purification.
When water bodies are designed with ecological principles and properly maintained and conserved, they support a balanced food web comprising algae, microorganisms, crustaceans, amphibians, and fish. Together, these organisms maintain the health of the water bodies while also sustaining the food web for land-based wildlife and contributing to the well-being of surrounding human communities
How can we tell if a water body is ecologically well-designed and balanced? The answer lies in observing the fish population. Fish are highly sensitive to various stresses, including unnatural disturbances, diseases, and water pollution. Additionally, factors such as their rapid growth rates, body sizes, habitat preferences, and feeding behaviours enable fish to reflect environmental conditions at the ecosystem level. These characteristics make many fish ideal as early-warning indicators of urban stress or, conversely, as signs of ecosystem recovery and resilience.
A fish biodiversity study is conducted every three years in Eco Grandeur's water bodies, guiding waterscape planning to create sustainable habitats. The diverse fish population also provides food for migratory birds during their annual journeys. The study identified 10 native and 10 introduced species, with no rare or endangered species found.
However, the high presence of introduced species poses a potential risk to the ecosystem. To address this, Eco Grandeur is enhancing ponds to better support native fish populations. Fish in all ponds play a vital role in sustaining wetland bird species.
Eco Grandeur's insect biodiversity assessment underscores the Group's dedication to creating a landscape that supports both terrestrial and aquatic species. The study focuses on butterflies, damselflies, and dragonflies, aiming to optimise landscape design for pollination and the local food web. Initial findings in 2022 recorded 45 butterfly species, 8 damselfly species, and 22 dragonfly species, establishing a baseline for ongoing monitoring.
With the township's development, annual assessments track population trends. By the end of 2023, a slight decline was noted, with 31 butterfly, 7 damselfly, and 20 dragonfly species recorded. In response, the Group is actively enhancing the landscape to reverse this trend and promote greater biodiversity across Eco Grandeur.
At Eco Grandeur, the story of biodiversity is brought to life through a meticulous assessment of tree and plant species, essential for supporting both resident and migratory wildlife. Conducted every three years, this assessment ensures that the diverse flora—from towering trees to delicate orchids—continues to provide food, shelter, and habitats for the local ecosystem. The initial evaluation in 2023 recorded a baseline of 290 species, including 94 trees, 86 shrubs, and a range of ground covers and grasses. As the township develops, this baseline will guide future assessments, ensuring that, despite minor replacements of plants and trees, the rich tapestry of life thrives and adapts at Eco Grandeur.
A carbon capture study conducted in 2022 revealed that the township’s landscaping has sequestered approximately 1,551 tonnes of CO₂ since 2016.
