What's Actually Under Construction: Our 2026-2030 Pipeline
Wasilah Zamani
Founder & editor, JiranLink
Property pipeline content usually means guessing which developer will announce what next. This isn’t that. These are seven buildings already tracked in our archive, already under construction, each with a developer-stated (not rumoured) target completion date landing between 2027 and 2030. If you’re buying off-plan and want to know what’s real right now rather than what might get announced, this is the honest list.
The seven, sorted by target completion
| Building | Area | Target completion | Tenure |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Atera | Petaling Jaya | November 2027 | Leasehold (expires 7 April 2103) |
| Amara Residences | Petaling Jaya | 2028 (est.) | Freehold |
| Khaya Residences | Bangsar South | Q2 2029 | Leasehold (expires 12 June 2117) |
| M Aspira | Taman Desa | December 2029 (est.) | Leasehold (expires 13 August 2123) |
| M Aurora | Old Klang Road | September 2030 | Freehold |
| Arra Residences | Petaling Jaya | ~2030 (est.) | Freehold (commercial title, HDA Schedule H) |
| Emerald 9 | Cheras | 2019-2023 (phased) | Freehold |
Emerald 9 sits apart from the other six - it’s a five-tower phased launch that started completing in 2019, with some towers already occupied and others still finishing as of 2026. It’s on this list because part of it genuinely still qualifies as “under construction,” not because it’s a new 2030-horizon project like the rest.
Petaling Jaya is where most of this pipeline sits
Three of the seven - The Atera, Amara Residences, Arra Residences - are in Petaling Jaya, all near the Ara Damansara / Asia Jaya LRT corridor. That’s not a coincidence our archive introduced; it reflects where PJ’s remaining developable land near existing rail has actually been going. See our Petaling Jaya area guide for how these three compare on price and transit once you’re shortlisting rather than just watching the calendar.
The commercial-title flag on Arra Residences
Arra Residences is freehold, but under a commercial title (HDA Schedule H), not a standard residential strata title. That has real consequences - financing, quit rent treatment and eventual strata rules can differ from a standard residential-titled condo - and it’s worth confirming directly with the developer’s sales gallery before treating it like a like-for-like alternative to the others on this list.
Leasehold years remaining, if that matters to your decision
Three of the seven are leasehold: The Atera (expires 2103, ~77 years from 2026), Khaya Residences (expires 2117, ~91 years), M Aspira (expires 2123, ~97 years). All three land comfortably inside our leasehold expiry watchlist - none is a near-term concern, but it’s worth knowing before you compare against the freehold options on this same list.
What “target completion” actually means
Every date above is the developer’s own stated target, not an independent construction-progress verification - we haven’t inspected any of these sites. Off-plan target dates slip more often than they land early; treat the year as a planning anchor, not a guarantee, and ask the developer directly for the latest progress report before signing anything based on a completion date alone.
Before you commit to anything on this list
- Ask for the latest construction progress report, not just the sales gallery’s target date - developers are required to disclose this under the Housing Development Act.
- Check the transit claim in person. Several listings on this list cite a “covered walkway” or station distance that isn’t built yet - Arra Residences’ claimed Ara Damansara LRT walkway is a stated plan, not a completed connection, as of this writing.
- Confirm the title type before signing - especially for Arra Residences’ commercial-title structure.
- Revisit our leasehold expiry watchlist if tenure length affects your financing plan.
