Bandar Tun Hussein Onn covers an area of 750 acres at Cheras Estate, Selangor. In January 1990, PAB was appointed by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) to lead a team of local consultants to prepare a Masterplan of housing estate with a town centre to cater for the southern Cheras region. The housing types proposed ranged from high-cost units such as individual detached lots, bungalow and condominiums to low-cost flats. These were planned within a neighbourhood framework, each with its own identity with supporting facilities that were easily access and within walking distance.

As high quality environment was the prime objective, the natural hilly and undulating characteristic of the site was retained as much as possible and green areas are provided throughout the project. To enhance this, a 50-acre town park with a 19-acre lake was created in the centre of the project.

Subsequently in 1993, PAB was appointed to prepare a Masterplan of the town centre and town park which constituted Phase 2 of the whole development. The Masterplan was aimed at integrating the town centre, town park and residential components, into a development within a park.

PAB was awarded the ‘Excellence in Planning Award’ by the Malaysian Institute of Planners for Bandar Tun Hussein Onn development under the ‘Life Planning Scheme’ category.
