UEP (United Estate Projects) Subang Jaya (commonly called "USJ") is a major affluent residential township located in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. It is located within the Mukim (sub-district) of Damansara, district of Petaling and the state of Selangor.
The construction of USJ started in 1988 after the completion of Subang Jaya which consists of SS12 to SS19 that was started in 1974. Almost 80% of USJ was developed by Sime UEP. USJ is under the jurisdiction of Subang Jaya Municipality Council since 1997. The first batch of residential communities were ready circa early 1990s. Since then, USJ has expanded into 27 sections, i.e. USJ 1 to USJ 27. In addition to that, there are USJ 3A-3D, USJ Heights and Subang Heights located on the west side of the township. Most of the areas in USJ are sitting on a freehold-title land tenure except USJ 1, the bungalow section of USJ 3D known as USJ Avenue, and a guarded fence-less neighborhood in USJ 17 called Restrees.
In the late 1990s, many new developments were growing rapidly in USJ. However, due to the economic crisis in 1997, it resulted in three large abandoned high-rise projects which are in USJ 1, USJ 19, and USJ 21. By 2010, these abandoned projects had been revived and completed construction. In recent years, there are plenty of mixed commercial developments around the township to cater the highly affluent population.
USJ is covered under N31 Subang Jaya (which includes SS12-19, USJ 1-15 and PJS 7, 9, 11) in the Selangor State Assembly. The State Assemblyman (Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri, ADUN) is Democratic Action Party (DAP)'s Hannah Yeoh Tseow Suan (Ms) who took over the seat from Barisan Nasional-MCA (BN)'s Datuk Lee Hwa Beng since 8 March 2008.
In the Parliament, USJ is under the P104 Kelana Jaya constituency. The current Member of Parliament (MP) is Wong Chen of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) who replaced Loh Gwo Burne in 2013. Tan Sri KS Nijhar of BN-MIC was MP from 2004 to 2008.
The main commercial hubs in USJ are USJ Taipan Business Centre and Subang Business Centre respectively. USJ Taipan is the township's central business area and it is a very popular commercial area in the Klang Valley. Almost all major banks have an office branch in the area. There are numerous cafes and restaurants ranging from alfresco dining, fine dining, modern contemporary to fusion Asian-Western food, fast food, etc.
