Unique features add charm

Selling well: An artist’s impression of Aroma Development’s Starhill Luxury Condominium at Bukit Gambir.

NESTLED near the hills of Bukit Gambir in Penang is the Starhill Luxury Condominium and Residences project by Aroma Development Sdn Bhd.

Featuring a luxurious condominium block and 22 bungalows, the project aims to provide a comfortable and serene abode near to nature.

Launched in November last year, the Starhill luxury condominium has 506 units from 1,480sq ft to the corner unit size of 1,715sq ft.

Exclusively marketed by Zeon Properties, the project will be featured in the upcoming Star Property Fair.

Zeon Properties Sdn Bhd chief marketing officer (sub sale division) Stanley Chew said 50% of the condos had already been taken up.

“Each unit has three individual balconies. This is a unique selling point.

“The three balconies provide homeowners with the sense of being close to nature, allowing them to step out from their room and enjoy the soft breeze and view of the green hills,” he said.

Chew pointed out that the units were priced at RM530 per sq ft, a bargain for its prime location as other nearby projects were retailing at between RM800 per sq ft and RM1,000 per sq ft.

“The condominium is located near Universiti Sains Malaysia, and has convenient access to the Lim Chong Eu Expressway, the Penang International Airport, George Town as well as the two Penang bridges.

“A lot of customers were impressed with the price and design,” he said. - The Star

The luxury condominium is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.

As for the the three-storey bungalows, they are priced at RM3.2mil per unit.

Chew said the bungalow project was designed with the owner’s convenience in mind.

“A lift is provided all the way up to the rooftop.

“This unique feature enables homeowners to conveniently access the rooftop. The well-designed area can be turned into a cosy corner with a garden for relaxing and throwing parties,” he said.

Chew said the bungalows, expected to be ready in two years, were also very affordable compared to similar property in the area.

Elegant and practical homes

Palmex’s Cypress Villas houses are spacious and cocooned in a quiet environment.

THE privileged future residents of Cypress Villa in Penang will enjoy living in a tranquil environment, ideal for creating life’s treasured moments.

Located in the established Desaria neighbourhood of Sungai Ara, the freehold development comprises 48 three-storey semi-detached units, and three luxurious triple-storey bungalows.

The elegantly crafted project by Palmex Industries Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of IOI Properties Group Bhd, will be featured at the upcoming Star Property Fair 2014.

It is currently under construction and scheduled to be ready by November 2015.

The spacious units, with individual land titles, sit on large plots of land measuring from 2,800sq ft to 7,300sq ft.

With generous built-up areas ranging from 3,700sq ft, the elegant houses feature five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with double volume ceiling in the dining area.

There are also dry and wet kitchens, and a porch with ample space for several cars.

The D’Zone Condominium in Teluk Kumbar is low density with only 96 units on 18 storeys.

According to Palmex deputy general manager Lim Cheok Leng, Cypress Villa is the last phase of semi-detached and bungalow units within the company’s well-received Desaria scheme.

“It will have pristine landscaping with two linear parks, perfect for leisurely walks or family recreation, any time of the day.

“The ambience of quiet calm is indeed soothing.

“Set on elevated land, the houses will offer stunning views at dawn of a scenic skyline complemented by nature’s splendours,” Lim said.

He gave the assurance that the scheme was a secure and private community which would come with 24-hour security and a guardhouse.

Palmex will also release its Bumiputra units for the D’Zone Condominium in Teluk Kumbar, Penang.

This freehold project is currently 80% completed and set to receive its Certificate of Completion and Compliance by next month.

It is in a prime location in a growing township, fronting the main road with a 40ft service road.

Its low density, with only 96 units housed in an 18-storey block, affords residents all the privacy they need.

Lim added that the units came in three practical layouts – the 1,500sq ft Type A, the 1,590sq ft Type B with two balconies, and the 2,840sq ft Type C penthouse for the truly discerning buyer.

Facilities include a swimming pool with sundeck, children’s pool with slide, children’s playground, gymnasium, barbeque area, meeting room, multipurpose hall, snooker and table tennis rooms, as well as impressive water features.

Security is assured with 24-hour CCTV monitoring, intercom system and auto-gate car access.
