Analysis

The Edge has reported in 2009: "The Industrial appearance of Section 13 in Petaling Jaya, Selangor may give way to commercial properties if a proposed Special Area Plan for the area is gazetted - which can be seen recently with the developments of commercial properties such as Jaya One and Jaya 33, as well as other developments especially along the main road. It is also reported that the area of Section 13 is deemed to be too valuable to remain an industrial enclave due to the limitations of spaces for commercial properties.The conversion to a mixed development opens up the door to many possibilities, which would undoubtedly delight land owners who wish to further develop their properties. Apart from that, there is a possibility for Section 13 to apply for MSC status post-conversion, which will greatly benefit the area as it would attract multi-national corporations - inevitably rendering the enclave a vibrant commercial hub.
