The Cedar's nature trail meanders through over 200 newly planted trees.
Live life on your terms at The Cedar, Damansara Heights
From its humble beginnings, the deftly planned residential neighbourhood of Damansara Heights has emerged today as one of Kuala Lumpur’s most desirable addresses. The iconic 50490 postcode distinguishes it from imitators seeking borrowed credibility. Most residents would not live anywhere else in the city - understandably so when this urban microcosm has so much to offer.
New bars, restaurants, gyms and cafés are springing up with frenetic regularity. Beautifully designed new homes are interspersed with the originals from the 1970s, with their gently sloping roofs and split-level interiors. This is suburbanisation in action.
And there is a new kid in town. Emerging from a rocky ridgeline in the fashionable Setiakasih community is a stunning curved edifice of glass and steel, nestled in a forest of cedar, and soon to be home to just 70 discerning owners. The Cedar at Damansara Heights is a fitting addition to this lively and aspirational neighbourhood, providing luxury, elegance and security compared to the best anywhere in the region or even globally.
The individual apartments and penthouses are expansive, light and airy, ranging in size from 2,700 sq ft to 10,000 sq ft with layout options from two to five bedrooms. The Cedar combines elegance, security and privacy - a symbiosis of form and function to offer the ultimate in suburban living.
The Cedar's arrival point is reached via a dramatic rocky tunnel.
Visitors to the Cedar enter via a rocky portal into a cavernous drop-off from which a crystalline elevator ascends into a vast lobby, bathed in light with huge windows framing the city beyond. Most apartments offer a private lift lobby before entering into a vast open-plan living area. High ceilings allow the daylight to wash through the living spaces, ventilated by nature’s breeze. Air conditioning is felt but not seen, and low emissivity windows admit light but no heat. Bedrooms are sumptuously fitted with the masters enjoying spacious walk-in closets and bathrooms, the latter boasting a dramatic contrast of white and black marble to complement the smooth sanitaryware by Claybrook of London.
Residents will enjoy a wide range of facilities within its landscaped grounds and perched above its curvilinear form. The infinity edge of the rooftop swimming pool melts into the twinkling lights of the city to the east and a tennis court is hidden in the richly planted forest of Cedars at ground level. From the main lobby, guests can be ushered to a fully equipped and furnished entertainment space opening into the landscaped gardens. A walking trail meanders and twists for a kilometre inside the woody aromas of the forest. The Cedar has something for everybody.
The Cedar - designed for life
The team behind The Cedar has a strong pedigree in high-end residential development in Kuala Lumpur. Led by Datuk Jagan Sabapathy, formerly the chief executive officer of developer BRDB, the aim was to set a new benchmark in luxury living in Malaysia. Recognising the convenience and security that apartment living can offer, his team has created spacious living areas, merging seamlessly with generous external verandahs, to attract owners traditionally favouring landed properties. "The profile of our owners is pretty consistent," said Jagan. "They know the location, they want space and comfort, but value privacy and security as well. Nearly all have bought Cedar to stay and live in themselves."
