PROPERTY developer Tropicana Corporation Bhd is known for its innovative homes, mixed retail and successful commercial developments over the years.

With the new addition of Tropicana Heights to their notable creations, the developer has upped the ante on future residences with its innovative concept and design by transforming previous Kajang Hill Golf Club into a resort homestead.

Strategically located between Kajang and Semenyih town centre, the 180.5ha master plan is surrounded by a variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, healthcare and educational facilities.

Accessed at an estimated total development value of RM2.8bil, Tropicana Heights also features a stunning 6.5ha central park with a 750m linear lake and a 3m-wide walkway measuring 2.3km long to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.

“This project aims to give back to society as we want people to have a wholesome and holistic living experience, and nurture a strong community spirit that will encourage a sense of belonging,” Tropicana Corporation Bhd Project executive director Kelvin Choo Yung Yau said.

Choo admitted there was bound to be some competition because of the strategic location and its current development.

“To stand out as a key player, we’re working hard to differentiate ourselves.

“We’re currently constructing the central park instead of the houses as we want to show our potential buyers what this project has to offer.

“After all, seeing is believing,” explained Choo, adding the west section of the park was completed last month.

Besides preserving the natural flora and ecosystem of the golf course, the park also provides ample facilities for a fuss-free environment for residents to engage in physical activities.

Other amenities include a floating gazebo and platform, recreational hub, community hall, cascading waterfalls, basketball court, sports lawn, lily pond and willow garden, 288m promenade, children’s playground, amphitheatre lawn and a market square.

On another note, Tropicana Heights also launched its new 660sq m property gallery, overlooking the lush central park.

As part of the 0.8ha recreational hub, the property gallery will function as Tropicana Heights’ satellite office.

The project highlights six phases, offering innovative and spacious designs with a contemporary feel, with the central park situated in the middle for easy access.

“We’ve received good response with over 70% take up for the terrace units and over 50% for the cluster semi-Ds for Phase 2 – Parkfield so far,” said Choo, adding the project was launched in March.

Parkfield offers 471 units of two-storey terrace and three-storey cluster semi-detached homes with built-up area ranging from 204.5sqm to 286sqm.

The units are priced from RM835,000 and is expected to be completed by January 2018.

The freehold development is easily accessible via highways such as Silk, Lekas, North-South Expressway and SKVE and the KTM station and upcoming MRT stations are nearby.

“We’re very excited with this project and looking forward to launch Phase 3,” said Choo, predicting it would be in the second quarter of 2016. For details, call 03-7453 2328, 018-323 8818 or visit www.tropicanaheights.com
