IOI Rio City will span an impressive 100 acres, reimagining what urban life should truly be.
IOI Rio City perfects the 15-minute walkable city model
In Bandar Puteri Puchong, IOI Properties Group Bhd is embarking on its next exciting chapter with IOI Rio City. The latest landmark township will blend energy, connection and balance in a way few modern townships do. IOI Rio City is not just another development, but a vision of what urban life can be when everything, from home, work, leisure and nature can exist within easy reach.
Designed for walking and cycling
Spanning 100 acres, IOI Rio City is the final and most anticipated chapter of Bandar Puteri Puchong’s growth. The development is built on the 15-minute walkable city idea, which is the belief that daily needs should be accessible within a walkable or bikeable distance. For residents, that means no more long commutes for groceries, gyms or parks. For the community, it means a more connected and sustainable lifestyle.
“Every detail was planned around people and how they move through their day. It is about designing not just buildings, but the rhythm of daily life,” said IOI Properties Group senior general manager Chung Nyuk Kiong.
Reliable buses, trains and highways
Situated along Lebuh Puteri, IOI Rio City enjoys direct access to key highways including the Damansara–Puchong Expressway (LDP), Bukit Jalil Highway and North–South Expressway Central Link (ELITE) Highway, linking Puchong seamlessly to Kuala Lumpur, Subang Jaya and Putrajaya. Public transport is equally convenient, with Taman Perindustrian Puchong and Bandar Puteri LRT stations nearby, complemented by RapidKL bus services.
But mobility here is not just limited to cars and trains. The township’s master plan includes shaded pedestrian walkways, bicycle lanes and e-hailing stations. These small touches make walking or cycling not only possible, but pleasant. Beneath the surface, dedicated underpasses and tunnels help ease congestion, while intelligent parking systems and timed lighting reduce both traffic and energy use.
IOI Mall Rio follows a single-linear design that will encourage natural flow and visibility.
Million square foot mall
At the centre of it all lies the Rio City Town Centre, a vibrant 28-acre mixed-use hub anchored by IOI Mall Rio, the next retail destination for Puchong. The mall spans nearly one million sq ft and will feature over 300 shops, bringing together lifestyle, dining, fashion, technology and entertainment under one roof.
Unlike conventional malls, IOI Mall Rio follows a single-linear design that enhances visibility and natural flow, inviting visitors to stroll, linger and discover. It will also include a planned convention centre and sports complex, creating spaces for both recreation and community gatherings.
IOI Mall Rio is set to elevate the shopping scene in Puchong by introducing a range of unique retail and dining experiences that perfectly complement the offerings of existing IOI malls. With its modern features, the mall promises to bring a refreshing atmosphere for Puchong’s younger, dynamic crowd, providing an exciting new destination for shopping, dining and celebration.
The city’s infrastructure will ensure that pedestrians’ safety will always come first.
The residential aspects
Complementing the retail hub is the township’s residential gem, Alyvia. Set on 3.26 acres, Alyvia features 598 condominium units and 39 retail lots, with homes ranging from 661 sq ft to 988 sq ft. The development is scheduled for launch in 2026 and is anticipated to blend urban sophistication with the warmth of community living.
When it comes to much-valued privacy, the property has it covered while keeping residents close to everyday conveniences. Thoughtful landscaping, open courtyards and tree-lined streets create pockets of calm amid the buzz of the town centre. For many, it is a lifestyle that captures the best of both worlds, city excitement and suburban comfort.
IOI Rio City also builds on existing successes in the area, including 2Rio Residence, 2Rio Office Tower and 2Rio Office Park, which have already attracted residents and entrepreneurs alike. Together, they form a vibrant ecosystem within Bandar Puteri Puchong’s well-established network of amenities such as IOI Mall Puchong, Columbia Asia Hospital, Four Points by Sheraton Puchong and the 11-acre eco-friendly urban park, Townpark.
The hustle and bustle of shops blends seamlessly with landscaping and nature.
Living responsibly with sustainability
IOI Rio City goes beyond convenience. There is a priority on living responsibly. Sustainability features are woven into every aspect of the township, such as solar-powered LED lighting, rainwater harvesting, EV charging bays and open-air basement car parks that reduce electricity use. Plans are also underway for a direct flyover from the Bandar Puteri Interchange to the Puteri 2 commercial area, further improving traffic flow in and out of the precinct.
Lush landscaping and community-centric spaces add to the township’s charm. A pet-friendly public courtyard and central plaza will serve as gathering points for families and friends, while nearby Bandar Puteri Townpark, which is home to more than 89 flora and 135 fauna species, provides a welcome retreat for nature lovers.
The long game
Designed in partnership with Arcadis, a leading US-based architectural and planning firm, IOI Rio City reflects IOI Properties’ long-term commitment to creating liveable, human-centred communities. It is a township shaped not just by design, but by purpose. Essentially, the aim is to nurture a sense of belonging and sustainability that endures.
From its visionary retail anchor and vibrant streetscapes to its thoughtfully designed homes, IOI Rio City is poised to refine Puchong further. A 15-minute walkable city is always incredibly sought after and IOI Properties Group is providing it and more.
