Gardens Idaman Rawang has joined Selangor's Rumah Idaman pipeline as a 616-unit affordable apartment launch in Kundang, with Oriental Interest Bhd placing the project under its Myra brand. The launch gives first-home buyers another leasehold option in northern Selangor, with pricing stated from RM250,000 and completion scheduled for 2030. Dateline: 18 August 2026.
EdgeProp reported that OIB launched Gardens Idaman on 17 August 2026 with a gross development value of RM163.8 million. The project is officially known as Myra Idaman under the state-backed Rumah Idaman programme, while the advertising and sales permit names Myra Gardens Sdn Bhd as the licensed housing developer.
What OIB Is Launching
The development sits on 11.23 acres at Lot 18215, Pekan Pengkalan Kundang, Gombak. It comprises two 21-storey blocks with 616 approved units, according to the permit details cited in the source report. Each unit is stated at 1,002 sq ft, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two parking bays.
OIB is positioning the product as semi-furnished affordable housing. The stated package includes air-conditioners, water heaters, kitchen cabinets, a refrigerator, wardrobe, television and TV cabinet. On the official Gardens Idaman page, Myra also lists a central park, guardhouse, surau, lift lobby, management office, kindergarten allocation, shop allocation and a pickleball or badminton court in the site-plan section.
Location And Buyer Eligibility
Gardens Idaman is in Kundang, Rawang, a part of Selangor where daily access still depends heavily on road links. The project page states that the site is about 2 km from LATAR, 6.7 km from the Guthrie Corridor Expressway and 8.3 km from the North-South Expressway. Nearby amenities listed by the developer include SK Seri Kundang and SMK Seri Kundang at 0.85 km, Tasik Puteri Golf & Country Club at 7.9 km, MRT and KTM Sungai Buloh at 10.5 km, Selgate Hospital at 11 km and AEON Rawang at 12.5 km.
The Rumah Idaman eligibility filter matters as much as the headline price. The developer states that applicants and spouses must be Malaysian citizens, applicants must be at least 18 years old, household income must not exceed RM14,500, and neither applicant nor spouse may already own a government or private-sector home in Selangor. Purchasers are also subject to a five-year moratorium from the sale and purchase agreement date, subject to state authority approval.
The Rawang Supply Context
Rummah's active sale listings currently show a thin Rawang resale slice: one active Rawang sale listing and no active Rawang condo sale listing at the time of this run, using the site's active inventory filter. Across Selangor condo sale listings on Rummah, there are 29 active listings with a median asking price of RM330,000. Buyers comparing this launch against resale supply can start with Rawang properties for sale, then use the project facts on Rummah's Gardens Idaman page to track the launch details separately.
That data point should be read narrowly. Rummah's inventory is not a full census of the Selangor market, and a low Rawang count does not prove shortage or future price movement. It does show why a state-linked, fixed-entry-price project can stand out for buyers who are specifically searching Rawang but finding limited comparable stock on public listing portals.
GreenRE And Facilities
OIB said Gardens Idaman has received Provisional GreenRE Bronze certification, alongside its upcoming Saujana Idaman development in Dengkil. EdgeProp reported that the design includes a higher-performance building envelope, water-efficient fittings, lower-carbon construction materials, reusable aluminium system formwork, energy-efficient lifts, low-volatile organic compound paints and daylight optimisation.
The company also cited design-stage modelling that projects energy savings of 30.61% and an annual operational carbon-emissions reduction of about 337 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. EdgeProp noted that the figures are theoretical calculations prepared at the design stage, and that the specific rating-tool version and baseline were not immediately available.
"Affordable housing deserves the same commitment," Myra general manager William Lew said, according to EdgeProp.
What Buyers Should Check Next
- Confirm eligibility under the Rumah Idaman rules before treating the RM250,000 starting price as personally available.
- Ask the sales team which units, floors and facing options are included at the starting price.
- Check the five-year moratorium conditions, especially if you may need to sell before 2030.
- Review the APDL and sale documents for the exact completion date, land tenure terms and maintenance charges.
- Compare commute times to Sungai Buloh rail, LATAR, Guthrie Corridor Expressway and the North-South Expressway during peak hours.
Gardens Idaman follows OIB's Putra Idaman development in Desa Pinggiran Putra, which launched in 2024. OIB has also said Saujana Idaman in Dengkil is scheduled for launch in the third quarter of 2026, so the Myra affordable-housing pipeline is likely to remain active beyond this Rawang project.
