The first phase of houses in Bandar Utama went on sales in 1991 with 2-storey link houses with overwhelming response from prospective buyers who camped overnight for a choice lot. With buyers looking for more useful space, while the average family size has remained the same, changes in lifestyle have resulted in this demand for more living space and the solution was the introduction of 2.5-storey in 1997 in addition to the standard 2-storey link houses. Space to live in and to move ideas, this is something one can expect from a link house in Bandar Utama. By 2007, 5,626 homes comprising of 2-storey and 2.5-storey were completed.
