Established by the government on November 12, 1971, the Urban Development Authority (UDA) was given the responsibility to promote planned urban development. After 29 years of successfully fulfilling its responsibilities UDA was incorporated on September 1, 1996 and became known as UDA Holdings Sdn Bhd.

The drive to firmly establish the company was achieved when it changed its status to that of a public limited company with effect from July 14, 1999, to be known as UDA Holdings Berhad. The company was listed on the Main Board of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) on November 18, 1999.

Today, led by a board of experienced directors and highly qualified professionals, UDA is committed to enhance its competitiveness and to partake a bigger role in urban development thereby contributing to entrepreneurial growth in line with the national aspiration.

The principal activities of the Company are in investment holding and property development while the principal activities of the Group are in land and property development, property management and leisure industry.
