Serendah is actively growing partly due to the presence of UMW Holdings in the area. An industrial city, named UMW High-Value Manufacturing Park is being constructed that will then house a number of national and multinational companies focused in manufacturing. An East Coast Rail Link Station planned to open in the same proximity will also accelerate this growth further.
Some places address in Serendah now includes the prefix 'Bandar' meaning city. Such as the address for UMW HVM Park and its contents, which displays 'Bandar Serendah' instead of the usual 'Serendah'.
