Bukit Rimau is a township in Shah Alam, Klang District, Selangor, Malaysia.
Together with the adjacent Kota Kemuning township, Bukit Rimau is known as one of the greenest suburbs in Selangor.
Occupying over 365 acres of land, part of Bukit Rimau is situated on a gentle, sloping hill. The area comprises a mixture of residential properties, commercial properties, offices, leisure and recreational facilities, educational and cultural facilities and industrial units.
Bukit Rimau was established around 1996. The name is derived from the Malay language words, Bukit Harimau, meaning Tiger Hill.
Bukit Rimau is located in between 3 major cities, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Klang.
It is well connected to areas in the Klang Valley via a network of major highways including the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS), Exit 505 - Bukit Rimau Interchange or Exit 506B - Kemuning Interchange and the Kemuning–Shah Alam Highway.
Bukit Rimau is also situated next to Kota Kemuning.
Bukit Rimau consists of at least 43 acres of parklands, pocket gardens, lush tropical vegetation and recreational facilities. The different precincts and parklands are interconnected by continuous pedestrian and cycle pathways.
The streetscape within the residential areas is spaciously laid out with roads that are 50 feet wide, allowing for generous green reserves on both sides.
